Chapter 373: He Is Not a Hero

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

One after another, the pitch-black Yin Spirits, Cursed Spirits, and Resentful Spirits exploded; the Greed Cocoon on Bai Cangshu's body surface grew increasingly thick, and by now, a pitch-black Spiritual Pressure visible to the naked eye had appeared.

Merely standing in place caused Fubuki and the others to feel a heaviness in their hearts.

The pitch-black Spirit Bodies all around sensed that their host had awakened; that violent aura caused these Spirit Bodies, which had almost nothing left but instinct, to recall once again the experience of being brutally hammered to death by him time and again in that pure white Consciousness Space.

Moo!

The Yin Spirits shrieked, but this time, they no longer possessed that uniform, terrifying atmosphere; instead, they appeared panicked.

A large number of Yin Spirits began to flee in all directions, not at all devouring the main body as the Sage had imagined.

"The boring foreplay should be about over, Mr. Sage..."

Bai Cangshu's voice, filtering through the Greed Cocoon, seemed to carry a scent of blood; Lilith, who had just seen Tao Baibai break free, felt panic before any joy could rise in her heart.

A terrifying killing intent was boiling; that cold, bone-piercing killing intent was constantly slicing at her skin like a knife.

Fubuki suddenly felt a pain in her cheek; she raised her hand to touch her temple, and a streak of red was particularly glaring.

"This is..."

Before she could understand what had happened, Lilith had already closed her eyes in despair.

Yes, she had almost forgotten that Tao Baibai, whom she had vaguely hoped could defeat the Sage to avenge Luoka and the short-haired one, was no saint, and certainly not a "hero"...

A hero was merely a role he played on a whim; his so-called interest-driven nature was mostly just a morbid hobby.

Tao Baibai... was likewise a beast with blood-stained hands.

"Miss Fubuki, don't worry about me, please run away yourself..."

Lilith's eyes were red and her body trembled slightly, yet she still urged a Plot Character to flee for her life.

Even though many Reincarnators felt that Plot Characters were just NPCs, mere puppets generated by the space using information.

But facing this beautiful woman who had saved her time and again, Lilith still followed her heart's feeling and told her to flee alone.

Fubuki lowered her head and saw this somewhat cowardly but kind Ability User, her eyes filled with fear.

Before she could investigate what had happened, a terrifying killing intent mixed with an ocean-like aura exploded with a roar.

Fubuki raised her hands, her Psychokinesis freezing all the air and gale before her, but that terrifying momentum still made her feel as if she were swaying in the center of a storm; her spirit was almost snatched away, and wisps of materialized killing intent mixed with that unknown purple-red Wave constantly assaulted her body.

Rip!

Her expensive robe was slashed open, revealing her fair, tender skin, which was cut open the next second and began to bleed.

"Run quickly, Miss Fubuki, there is no hero here anymore..."

"I can no longer... go on living..."

Lilith thought of how Luoka and the short-haired one, who had always tolerated her, were both dead, and yet she, so weak and foolish, had pinned her hopes on the notorious Tao Baibai in the space; it really was... stupid to the core.

Such a stupid, weak, and cowardly self had no need to go on living...

This woman, who had always been cowardly yet craved even a glimmer of hope for survival, and who would pray from the bottom of her heart for a hero to descend when in danger, finally accepted in despair the fact that she could not go on living.

She struggled to stand up, arms spread wide, facing the increasingly intense Killing Intent Wave with composure.

Before her eyes, the monster wrapped in a scarlet phantom was baring its fangs bit by bit; the purple-red Killing Intent Wave burned and fluttered on the other party like flames, soon becoming like a giant torch, scorching everyone indiscriminately.

She could vaguely see Tao Baibai remove something from his ear, and then he was swallowed by a violent surge of energy.

Powerful, cruel, a beast-like guy.

Lilith looked at him with envy, while her body was constantly eroded by the Killing Intent Wave, causing wounds to appear.

The wound on her neck, briefly blocked by Fubuki's Superpower, ruptured again; blood gushed out, and air began to rush into her lungs.

"After you take my life... please kill the Sage... Mr. Tao Baibai..."

Lilith closed her eyes; Fubuki felt such terrifying energy fluctuations, her gaze wavering. Looking at Lilith, who was determined to die before her, and then at her subordinates behind her who had yet to regain consciousness, her heart was in chaos. She subconsciously looked toward the position where her sister was fighting, but that place was already obscured by a patch of fine, black void.

"Damn it, is it like this again... when a hero is truly needed to descend, no one appears..."

"Why am I the only one here."

"I am... so weak..."

Fubuki's pale fists were tightly clenched, her nails digging into her palms; as blood flowed out, she had already made her resolve.

She let out an angry shout, her body floated up, and her Superpower threw Lilith and Sanjiegun Li toward the rear; a blue light wrapped around the two, and the distance grew ever greater.

As for herself, she was instantly eroded by the Killing Intent Wave, and a large number of wounds appeared.

【Warning, ex051, you have removed the exclusive item: Killing Intent Seal: Prohibition; you will suffer intense erosion.】

【Killing Intent Wave has increased, current: Killing Intent Wave lv5】

【Killing Intent Wave negative effects increased, you have suffered killing intent erosion (Intensity: High)】

"Ha, haha~"

It was as if magma had been poured into her veins, and as if electric currents were surging through her nerves.

Bai Cangshu's body convulsed violently; wounds rapidly appeared on his skin, muscles tore, and blood vessels shattered, but all healed rapidly due to the High-speed Regeneration Tese.

The pain of the body being torn apart and regenerating, with excessive Waves flowing through the body, stimulated his long-numb nerves.

"This is the feeling... ha... I can feel it~"

Bai Cangshu's tone lost control and began to drift, as if constantly rising; he himself had already begun to lose his sense of self.

But corresponding to this was an unprecedented power!

Removing the 【Killing Intent Seal: Prohibition】 would not only increase the Killing Intent Wave level and negative effects, but also release all the killing intent absorbed during the time it was worn at once.

At this moment, Bai Cangshu felt for the first time that powerful Wave almost overflowing from his body; this feeling was different from the abundant Spiritual Pressure he had previously.

That kind of Soul power was a passive state he was completely unable to control.

Yet now, this Killing Intent Wave was surging through his body without a moment's pause; this Wave was impatient to be used by him, so that he might commit more slaughter.

Boom!

A violent explosion occurred out of thin air.

Like a volcanic eruption, the ground shattered with a roar.

A space of several hundred meters was instantly swallowed by flames that appeared from nowhere.

Crackle~

The next moment, a crimson figure wrapped in red and black lightning appeared behind the Sage; the Sage merely turned his eyes slightly before his head was blasted to pieces by a punch.

Hongchen's pupils trembled; before the Sage's splashing brains could even fall, the air in front of him had been completely displaced, and bone-chilling killing intent burrowed into his body through every pore.

Hongchen raised his hands, barely able to see Tao Baibai's head held high, the cruel smile curling at the corners of his mouth like a cat toying with a mouse.

Bang!

A punch struck; the ice-blue Protective Qi shone like a precious blade, but the purple-red Killing Intent Wave erupted like a meteor.

Boom!

The air exploded, white-hot clouds of smoke spread for thousands of meters, and as the ground shattered with a roar, Hongchen was sent flying by an incomparable force.

That Wave continued to drill into his arms, twisting the bones of his hands and shattering his muscles.

Bang, bang, bang~

The air behind his body exploded repeatedly, and in just an instant, his figure had flown thousands of meters away.

Bai Cangshu curled his hands back, drawing them to his waist; a powerful Wave condensed in an instant, and a purple-red Wave immediately appeared, screaming violently as it formed.

Bai Cangshu looked at the sent-flying Hongchen and pushed his hands forward.

【Dark Wave Fist】!

Hum!

The moment the powerful Wave left his body, it crazily agitated the surrounding air; the Heaven and Earth darkened, as if even the light had been swept up by this Wave.

Hongchen felt the sensation of being locked onto from afar; with his hands broken, he wanted to use his legs to exert force, but his muscles were actually being convulsed by the intense killing intent from a distance, and every cell in his body was wailing.

Boom!

Amidst the light of the Wave explosion thousands of meters away, the red-haired man fell straight down.

Bai Cangshu did not even look; he spread his hands, and as the Wave burned fiercely, thunderclouds immediately rolled across the sky.

The ions in the atmosphere began to leap frantically, lightning surged within the clouds, and dark clouds rolled down toward the ground; in this instant, it felt as if the entire Heaven was pressing down upon the earth.

The terrifying sense of oppression made one feel as if their heart would burst the very next second.

Bai Cangshu raised his right hand casually, pointing toward the sky from afar.

Crackle!

Lightning illuminated the entire world, and Bai Cangshu did not even look to see who the resurrected Sage had made a scapegoat this time; that sort of thing, he no longer cared about...
