Chapter 428: Bai Cangshu vs. Xu Zhiyu

"Shiba! It really is that guy, the Moon Demon, shiba!"

The man floating in the air, casting a Barrier, was wearing a black raincoat and cursing foully at this moment.

He saw it clearly: that iconic, terrifying sword light, and the sharpness he could feel even from hundreds of meters away.

Without a doubt, the Moon Demon was right below!

People become angry because of fear; he kept spouting all kinds of profanities, trying to give himself courage.

In the distance, a woman mounted with an extremely special large sniper rifle spat out her chewing gum and mocked into her microphone.

"So what if it's the Moon Demon? No one is that guy's match. You useless guy, you really are a good-for-nothing."

The crosshair in her scope did not stay in the center; instead, as she moved, it locked onto the two people standing within the half-ruined official residence and remained on them.

Her Nen Qi, which was completely concealed and almost impossible to detect, suddenly erupted at this moment, and she aimed her gun directly at the ground in front of her.

Bang!

Bang!

Two shots fired in succession.

The official residence slid down from the air, and the wind and rain, along with the dim sky, enveloped the three of them simultaneously.

When that chill surged over, Li Qingzi's sword had just retracted to its normal one-meter length; then, a flash of imagery crossed her mind, and she tilted her body and turned her head slightly.

The ground in front of her was pierced through by a bullet the next moment.

That bullet spun at an extremely high speed, grazing Li Qingzi's cheek as it flew into the wind and rain.

"Shiba!"

The woman codenamed Hupo Hou also cursed under her breath; having no time to check the result of the other shot, she immediately got up and lunged forward.

The next moment, a verdant green sword light fell straight down.

Crack!

The paved stone floor was as fragile as tofu and was sliced open directly; Hupo Hou pressed a button on her shoulder, and a mask with a strong metallic texture immediately covered her head, after which her entire figure vanished in the rain, becoming completely invisible.

President Jin in the sky also immediately threw a punch toward the ground below.

His fist disappeared in front of him, and the next moment, it transformed into a massive fist over ten meters wide, smashing down from the sky toward the official residence.

Li Qingzi disappeared like a streak of light.

Boom!

The official residence collapsed with a roar.

President Jin's heart stirred; he felt the tactile sensation of this punch was very strange, and he wanted to retract his fist, only to find he could not do so.

On the other side, Hupo Hou, who had achieved invisibility using Predator equipment, stood to the side, watching the scene before her in shock.

After the Moon Demon dodged, that man wearing a loose t-shirt was holding their boss Xu Zhiyu's hand with one hand, while his other hand was raised, catching President Jin's spiritualized strike with a single palm.

Boom—!

Instead, the place over ten meters away from where the opponent stood vibrated and collapsed with a roar.

And the reason President Jin could not retract his fist was because the opponent's right hand had gripped the surface of that massive fist tightly; with mere grip strength, he had seized something of that volume.

What is this?

A strength-type Bloodline, or an Ability User?!

Hupo Hou breathed heavily without realizing it; although she had always been bold and reckless, her heart was still contracting in waves at this moment, and the high-powered shoulder cannon on her shoulder had subconsciously aimed, its infrared sight shining on that man's forehead.

Xu Zhiyu saw this scene and shook his head with a smile.

"My apologies, Mr. Bai. It's likely you went too far in the previous world, to the point that many decent guys in our society, upon hearing they were to come and kill you and the Moon Demon, directly left the Yixin Society..."

"I could only bring these few good-for-nothings to kill you. Tell me, isn't it funny, haha..."

His mental state became increasingly agitated, especially as he watched the look Tao Baibai was giving him.

He was certain that Tao Baibai was the kind of person he had been looking for all along.

The kind of person who could truly accomplish great things!

Someone who would not be bound by the rules, morals, or concepts of the weak, someone who truly pursued power and absolute freedom!

Creak, creak.

The fingernails on Xu Zhiyu's right hand returned to normal, but his right arm swelled up, his strength growing greater and greater, not inferior to Bai Cangshu's; no, his strength was still increasing.

At this moment, it had already surpassed Bai Cangshu's strength.

He changed his hand gesture bit by bit, then forcibly gripped his own right hand, which was being held by Bai Cangshu, together with Bai Cangshu's; in Xu Zhiyu's focus, Li Qingzi no longer existed.

Li Qingzi was a partner he had once chosen, but seeing Tao Baibai, he had completely lost interest in Li Qingzi.

He was not in a hurry to fight; instead, he first shook hands with Bai Cangshu using his strength.

"I acknowledge you, Mr. Bai. I feel we would be excellent partners."

He shook his hand up and down, and dragon scales began to sprout on his arm.

Bai Cangshu looked at this display by Xu Zhiyu, his face also wearing a wanton smile.

His physique was even taller, and at this moment, he lowered his head slightly, taking in the madness in Xu Zhiyu's eyes at a glance.

A scarlet outline appeared on Xu Zhiyu's body; Arrogant Sight had activated subconsciously, marking this guy who was also a Great Sin-lineage Reincarnator.

"Xu Zhiyu, haven't you heard a saying?"

Xu Zhiyu did not answer, still smiling.

Bai Cangshu's lips curled up, his teeth exposed one by one, and the long black hair behind him began to drift without wind; a powerful aura began to rise, and the wind and rain changed direction, parting behind him.

"The weak flock together; the strong... always walk alone."

"You are the weak one~"

Xu Zhiyu's abnormally swollen right hand suddenly gripped with force.

The intense power and that terrifying speed, which exceeded ordinary extreme velocity, caused the air to be crushed from his hand in an instant, turning into white cloud-shreds that scattered in a vortex.

Boom!

Air pressure erupted from between the two people's palms.

Whoosh.

Blazing flames ignited on Xu Zhiyu in an Instant, and at the same time, scales appeared one by one on the surface of Bai Cangshu's body.

Amidst the burning of the blazing flames, Xu Zhiyu tore off his white shirt; nearly 80% of his entire body was already covered by Dragon Scale.

Dragon blood boiled, and his strength was also burning.

A powerful force surged into Bai Cangshu's hands like a landslide.

As a Great Sin-type Reincarnator, he naturally also possessed the ability to obtain a Scarlet Drop Card by hunting Reincarnators, and he was likewise able to obtain a great many Attribute Point.

Furthermore, he was a Reincarnator naturally inclined toward specialization in strength and agility; at this moment, his base strength attribute already exceeded 60 points, combined with the 1.9 efficiency conversion of 【Dragon Strength】.

Among the Reincarnators he had faced before, few could contend with him in strength.

Bai Cangshu's hair scattered; he was not in the slightest overwhelmed by this power, but instead, as the blazing flames burned opposite him, the crimson Solitary Jealous Fire likewise ignited.

【Solitary Jealous Fire】 triggered layer by layer.

Thump.

The sound of a massive heartbeat was like a beating drum.

Accompanied by a craving for power, Bai Cangshu's body began to change rapidly; under the alteration of his talent spiral, his arms swelled up quickly.

Unlike the posture of his entire body swelling when Bai Cangshu opened his incomplete talent in the past, at this moment, Bai Cangshu's control over that flesh was already approaching perfection.

If it were merely controlling his own flesh, the first turn state of 【Super Limit Spiral】 would already be enough.

But... Bai Cangshu was not Man Zhi!

Thump!

The heart beat violently once more.

Blue-white electric light appeared on Bai Cangshu's body.

Xu Zhiyu watched as his own arm was pushed down bit by bit; an unprecedentedly powerful force was rising.

Sizzle!

Black-red lightning appeared from the opponent's hand.

That was... Haoshoku Haki Entanglement!

Crack.

Bai Cangshu took a step forward; his momentum had already begun to overwhelm Xu Zhiyu, and then Bai Cangshu raised his head high and slammed it violently toward Xu Zhiyu.

Bang!

The two people's heads collided, the terrifying sound like a thunderclap exploding.

A massive shockwave blew outward in all directions from the center.

Hupo Hou felt a tightening in his heart at this moment and immediately pressed the launch button.

The missile on his shoulder launched with a roar.
