Chapter 46: Assassination

The hat-wearing man Liu Qi lowered his head, stroked his sword with his hand, and walked quickly from outside the main hall. Although Japan in this era was undergoing reforms, the buildings were still mostly made of lightweight wood. He had just sliced through the gate with one sword strike, along with two soldiers.

Liu Qi lowered his head, feeling a fire burning in his belly.

Although he did not like that madman who called himself 【Tao Baibai】, the mission the other party triggered was one he liked immensely.

It was not because the reward was generous, but because this mission actually gave him a feeling of participating in history.

Due to his personal background and experiences, he had a particularly profound understanding of those humiliating days in modern Dongxia history.

That was why, even though he used an ability called 【Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu】, he often mocked the Japanese verbally.

At this moment, looking at these soldiers who had begun to wear neat uniforms due to military reorganization, his killing intent permeated the air.

The sword light began to dance.

Firearms of this era, while lethal enough, were still far from comparable to modern weapons in terms of firing speed and accuracy. Of course, far away on the battlefields of the First World War in the West, more terrifying war machines had already begun to appear.

Pfft! Pfft!

Liu Qi seemed to have become as crazed as Bai Cangshu; his speed in hacking and killing these people was extremely fast, and Elizabeth frowned.

"Liu Qi, these ordinary soldiers only provide a few Dimension Points as a reward, do you have to snatch them too?"

Liu Qi did not answer, but on the other side, Vincent let out a painful cry, and blood was already spurting from his chest.

"Careful, it's a Lower Rank!"

Vincent warned loudly. His voice was full of vigor; this seemingly terrifying wound clearly had not yet endangered his life.

Bai Cangshu stood on the wall at this time, watching the battle of these Reincarnators with cold eyes.

That Liu Qi was a master of swordsmanship, his movements skillful; he could easily slaughter ordinary people without relying on 【Abilities】.

Vincent likely possessed some kind of special physical ability; after his muscles were slashed by the Ghost, the amount of bleeding was far lower than that of an ordinary person, and his physical mobility was not significantly affected. Judging by his fighting style, he seemed to be a Reincarnator with Defense Specialization.

As for Elizabeth, this tall woman with green hair—Bai Cangshu narrowed his eyes—the other party was constantly fighting using firearms. A submachine gun with ultra-high firing speed sent the Taisho Era Japanese soldiers scurrying everywhere.

However, Bai Cangshu stared at this woman; he guessed that she must be hiding other abilities. The other party had not displayed any special marksmanship, but Vincent and Elizabeth were clearly long-term teammates who trusted each other immensely.

There was only one reason why a person would be willing to become a Reincarnator with Defense Specialization in an environment as extremely dangerous as the Reincarnation Space: their companion was a sufficiently powerful Reincarnator with Attack Specialization!

Furthermore, the other party's physical body was quite fragile.

Elizabeth pursed her lips. She could feel that "Tao Baibai's" gaze was wantonly sizing her up, and it was not a gaze containing lust.

On the contrary, the other party was like a wild beast, sizing everyone up with the gaze of looking at prey.

"This... madman!"

But Elizabeth did not lash out; instead, she coordinated with Liu Qi and instantly wiped out the Left Minister's entire armed squad.

Only that black-haired, black-bearded Lower Rank Ghost with peculiar markings on his face remained.

The other party's speed and strength were overwhelmingly stronger than ordinary Ghosts. If compared using Reincarnator attributes, the sum of the other party's attributes definitely exceeded 40 points, which meant this was clearly a 【Bing】-level Monster.

Moreover, the Twelve Kizuki all possessed special Blood Demon Arts. At this moment, the Ghost was only fighting with its physical body, which clearly meant it was not in its full form.

Elizabeth's eyes glowed slightly. Lulu, who was in a fierce fight with Liu Qi and had been suppressing him, suddenly felt their body pause, and a flash of cold light had already struck.

Pfft!

Lulu's body suddenly expanded, becoming gigantic in an instant, causing the sword strike that could have severed its head to merely leave a small wound on its chest.

Lulu was now over three meters tall, standing in the courtyard like a giant.

It looked down at the few humans, especially Liu Qi, who was holding a Nichirin Sword at this time.

"Are you a Pillar-level swordsman?" "State your name."

The black markings on Lulu's face began to spread over its entire body, and the sense of oppression from the whole person surged instantly.

Liu Qi's expression also became serious. This Ghost's physical ability was currently completely above his own, but correspondingly, he also possessed a Nichirin Sword borrowed from those Ghost Slayer swordsmen.

He only needed one chance, and he could...

Bang!

With a dull sound like artillery fire, Lulu's body was blasted backward, staggering several steps.

The Professor stood on the furthest wall, the hand cannon in her hand still emitting blue smoke.

"Are you all really waiting for Liu Qi to duel the Lower Rank? Attack together!"

This woman clearly did not have much martial virtue.

Elizabeth had not intended to stand by and watch; she fired her gun while secretly interfering with her ability.

And Vincent also roared, leaping high, his muscles bulging all over, and hammered down with both fists.

!

Bai Cangshu did not make a move, just continued holding 【Doom Knocking】 and firing continuously, but because he lacked Shooting Mastery and did not trigger any special effects, the bullet impact points were not accurate.

"Mr. Tao Baibai, please do not make a scene, and do not show anything unusual."

The Professor's voice appeared out of thin air in Bai Cangshu's ears. Bai Cangshu still had an inexplicable smile on his lips, and the firearm in his hand continued to fire.

"I'm afraid we have been targeted by those two Reincarnators who left the team."

"I cannot lock onto the other party's position, but I have a special ability that can detect danger!"

"Now, I, the weakest in the team, and you, the strongest, are both disconnected; this is their best opportunity..."

The Professor's voice was cold, without the slightest panic of being about to be assassinated.

This made Bai Cangshu think slightly more highly of this woman.

In fact, there was no need for the Professor's subtle reminder; Bai Cangshu had long since felt that killing intent.

This pink robe of Tao Baibai's provided the greatest help to Bai Cangshu, not those attribute boosts or mastery increases; this 【Killing Intent Perception】 ability was simply a top-tier early warning device in the Reincarnation Space.

You cannot determine who will develop killing intent toward you or when, but it allows you to perceive it.

Bai Cangshu felt that faint, needle-like pain. He was certain that the enemies had indeed targeted him, the injured strongest member, and the Professor, the weakest member who had left the center of the battlefield, as their prey.

Bai Cangshu watched the battle below. Lulu's body size had further increased, now taller than the courtyard wall, and every strike made the ground tremble. Liu Qi and the others were already trapped in a bitter struggle; they lacked the ability to kill this type of large-sized enemy in one strike.

Conventional weapons could only continuously injure and irritate the other party, but could not cause the Lower Rank Ghost any fatal damage.

Bai Cangshu raised his gun, seemingly focusing his aim, while at the same time, the Professor reloaded the Hand Cannon.

Swish!

The sound of something piercing the air rang out, two black Kage rapidly tore through the air from outside the courtyard wall, and sword light lit up at the same time.

Pfft!

The Professor's figure instantly fell from the wall, fresh blood spraying out.

Clang!

The other figure that appeared before Bai Cangshu had their pupils constrict; they looked at this man wearing a pink robe who had actually held his sword horizontally to block their blade.

Could this guy be that kind of specialized Reincarnator who puts all their points into strength?!
