Chapter 47: There's a Monster, Run!

Bai Cangshu looked up, meeting the eyes revealed beneath the night-traveling clothes; the shock in the other person's eyes was laid bare before him.

Bai Cangshu used his left hand to block the opponent's sword with his revolver, seeing out of the corner of his eye that the woman who had been slashed off the wall had not died, but was instead taking the opportunity to crawl into the room.

He did not care, nor did he have any intention of offering assistance.

The man in night-traveling clothes using the Claymore was clearly stronger; he hesitated for a moment, and instead of coming to help his blocked companion, he continued to flip off the wall to pursue the professor.

The corners of Bai Cangshu's mouth curled up, revealing an indifferent smile; he even raised his right hand, wrapped in white bandages, to signal that he was a wounded man at the moment.

With his Tachi blocked by a revolver, You, already shocked and furious, immediately pressed forward and kicked at Bai Cangshu's lower body.

But Bai Cangshu's expression did not change, and he lifted his right foot.

Bang!

Their feet collided, and You felt a great force strike him; his center of gravity instantly scattered, and thinking "this is bad," he immediately pulled back, wanting to disengage.

For a Reincarnator specialized in agility like him, if a strike failed, fleeing a thousand miles away was the ideal combat plan.

He had already realized that this guy wearing the disgusting pink robe was indeed not simple; he thought that as long as Lie could kill the professor and bring back a head, the two of them could achieve a considerable completion rate for their faction mission.

By then, even if they couldn't ask Kibutsuji Muzan to transform them personally, they could still have one of the Upper Rank turn the two of them into Ghosts.

You was a rare "specialized" Reincarnator among Reincarnators; because Attribute Points obtained from missions could not be allocated autonomously before the "Strong" rank, many people's Attribute Points were distributed across multiple attributes.

But there was a special group of Reincarnators among them who were recognized by the Reincarnation Space as having special talent in a certain field, and the Space would automatically allocate their Attribute Points to the same attribute.

This resulted in the same mission progress, where these "specialized" Reincarnators would possess quite high Extreme Values for their attributes, giving them stronger combat power in the early stages.

You was a naturally agility-specialized Reincarnator; after surviving several missions, his Agility attribute had reached as high as 15 points, but correspondingly, his Strength and Stamina values were only slightly higher than those of an ordinary person.

Because of his low survival attributes and strength, he believed that obtaining a Ghost Bloodline was a good choice.

In fact, in the eyes of some people in the Reincarnation Space, the Demon Slayer Derivative World possessed the characteristics of both a "newbie killer" and a "newbie treasure."

The Ghosts in this world were highly aggressive and only appeared at night, easily causing the deaths of new Reincarnators;

But at the same time, this was also one of the easiest early-stage worlds to obtain a Bloodline.

Although the Ghost Bloodline bestowed by Kibutsuji Muzan had the huge flaw of being inevitably controlled by Muzan in the Demon Slayer World, that was not a problem once in the Reincarnation Space.

Not to mention that Kibutsuji Muzan could not influence it, even if some Reincarnators captured Muzan back to the Space or seized Muzan's abilities, Reincarnators could choose to pay Singularity points to improve the flaws in the Bloodline at the "Goddess."

For most Reincarnators, in the Demon Slayer World, the gains from joining the Muzan Faction were far higher than those from the Demon Slayer Corps.

A Bloodline that allowed you to obtain a considerable degree of Immortality in an environment without Sunlight had an extremely high cost-performance ratio.

In a flash of thought, You already had the idea of giving up on hunting Bai Cangshu; the other party was indeed a tough nut to crack, and his guess was correct—the Ghost attacked the other party first because they were the strongest in the Reincarnator squad.

This Intelligence might be able to be exchanged for a certain amount of faction points.

Pfft!

As blood spurted out, You's pupils shrank; he jumped into the air, but his body was pulled by a strong force, unable to break free.

He saw that the man who had blocked his sword with a silver revolver no longer had the revolver in his left hand; the other party had actually grabbed his sword blade with their bare hand.

Blood sprayed out instantly.

But at the same time, a terrifying force came from the sword, and the force You used to flee backward was completely neutralized.

"Want to leave now?"

"Our slaughter has only just begun, hasn't it?"

You pulled his sword with sudden force, but his 8 points of strength were like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to shake it at all.

His eyes shifted, he released both hands, and with a flash of light, another Tachi appeared in his hand, stabbing directly at Bai Cangshu's neck.

Bai Cangshu's neck bent in a strange way, folding to the right like a green snake. You felt a jolt in his heart and turned to flee.

But the next moment, a massive force struck his waist and abdomen.

Bang!

You's limbs swung forward uncontrollably, and the terrifying force on his waist and abdomen carried his body, smashing him down from the three-meter-high wall in an instant.

Boom!

The bluestone floor cracked instantly, and You also spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably.

A sharp pain came from his pelvis; he guessed it might be fractured, but right now, this pain was not important—he had to escape!

He immediately got up, exerting force with his toes, and his lv4 Footwork activated instantly; he took just one step, and everything around him seemed to be left behind as he escaped through the gate that had been slashed open by the man in the bamboo hat.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked back, wanting to notify Lie to retreat, but a dark thought appeared in his heart, and he actually turned and fled directly.

Pfft!

You felt as if he had crashed into a wall; his figure was forced to a stop instantly. He felt his vision go black, and a blood-stained palm had appeared before him out of nowhere, pinching his head.

"Ah!"

The temples on both sides of his head made a creaking sound due to the immense force, and he himself was completely unable to focus his Spirit due to the immense pain.

Bai Cangshu indifferently lifted this slender Reincarnator.

!

"Your speed isn't that fast either."

The familiar voice caused extreme fear to instantly arise in You's heart.

How is this possible? Isn't this guy specialized in strength? How could his speed be this fast too?

The next moment, Bai Cangshu suddenly pinched the other person's head and slammed it into the ground.

Bang!

Bang!

Pfft!

The fragile "Agility" specialized Reincarnator's bones and muscles were not much tougher than an ordinary person's; like a watermelon, he shattered on the bluestone floor.

Red and white flowed all over the ground.

You's body struggled and trembled for a moment, then finally fell silent.

【You have killed Reincarnator kl16254477 (You) in a cooperative mission world; this kill will not generate any rewards.】

A scarlet light suddenly lit up on Bai Cangshu's right hand, instantly gnawing toward the dead Reincarnator's right hand like a snake.

【Sin Points +1, current: 2】

【The Private Space of serial number kl16254477 (You) has been merged into your Private Space; you may view it after entering the space.】

【Sin Reincarnation Mark detected, beginning re-evaluation of kill reward generation.】

【Sin Points are 2, Scarlet Drop Card additional drop rate slightly increased...】

【You have obtained Scarlet Drop Card *1】

Bai Cangshu watched as the scarlet light condensed into a card, reached out and tapped it, and the card fell into his Backpack.

He raised his head and saw that the other Reincarnator, dressed in night-traveling clothes, was looking at him in terror from the shadows by the door in the distance.

Bai Cangshu held a finger to his lips, making a gesture for silence, his face still stained with You's blood as he revealed a cruel smile.

Thump, thump, thump!

Lie only felt a chill rise instantly from the soles of his feet, the hairs on his back standing on end; he could no longer care about the Professor he had just struck with another sword, instead slashing open the wooden wall with a backhand strike and sprinting away, his feet barely touching the ground.

That guy actually killed someone in a peaceful world and obtained a Scarlet Drop Card!

That guy is a Monster, run!

Only this thought remained in Lie's heart.
