Chapter 486: Copy Magic

Hum!

An Junxuan stepped out from the air, his pace light, completely unaffected by the strike Bai Cangshu had just landed.

His white robes rustled in the wind, his black, choppy hair constantly fluttering, and his eyes took in the two trenches Tao Baibai had plowed into the ground.

He sneered, deliberately speaking in a mocking tone.

"To have the ability of Wind-Turning, yet still allow such Force to hit you—is it Arrogance, or have you developed such careless combat habits because of your High-speed Regeneration and Immortality?"

An Junxuan's movement speed grew faster and faster; the next moment, he took a step, and by the time the words "combat habits" were uttered, he was already at Bai Cangshu's side.

He brought his palms together like a blade, his right hand as black as ink, and slashed out directly.

Bai Cangshu's eyes flickered with curiosity; thanks to the martial arts ability First of the First, he could see through this attack completely, so he held his left hand upright to block in front of him.

Hum!

An Junxuan disappeared again and instantly reappeared, as elegant as a gust of wind; the pitch-black hand-blade appeared directly before Bai Cangshu's neck, his arm swelled instantly, Inch Force erupted, and a blade aura flashed.

Pfft!

It was as if a sharp blade had sliced into thick cowhide; there was a dull sound of impact but no sound of flesh being severed. Bai Cangshu lowered his head, looking at that arm as black as ink.

His eyes shifted; even without activating Super Limit Spiral, he could perceive that there was no Armament Haki present on this arm.

"Interesting, you are very interesting."

Bai Cangshu waved his hand casually, and An Junxuan indeed turned into wind and disappeared again, widening the distance, refusing to engage in a true physical contest with Bai Cangshu.

The muscles on An Junxuan's body changed slightly, appearing to have become even tougher.

His heterochromatic eyes stared unblinkingly at Tao Baibai, wanting to see through everything about his opponent.

Being able to join the Throne of Reality and Illusion, even in the most ordinary Baiyin Jijun, represented a potential that surpassed the vast majority of Reincarnators.

He was strong, and he had great potential!

An Junxuan lowered his stance; Tao Baibai's current movements indicated that the other party did not yet consider him a real opponent, playing with him like a cat playing with a mouse.

This was a common ailment of the strong; so-called Arrogance and so-called pleasure were both built upon the foundation of overwhelming strength.

He lowered his stance, his entire body's muscles trembling constantly, as if brewing something.

The next moment, a powerful surge of energy bloomed from within his body and instantly merged back into it.

"Instant, activate!"

An Junxuan's figure vanished abruptly, his speed so fast that even Bai Cangshu's eyes could not capture it.

Bang!

A punch struck the back of Bai Cangshu's head from behind, the intense Force penetrating his body; even with Bai Cangshu's defensive capabilities, the penetrating Force caused his brain to vibrate, and everything before his eyes began to sway.

Bang!

Another punch appeared from in front of Bai Cangshu, striking his chin; his brain vibrated again, and the dizziness intensified.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang...

Countless dense punches emerged continuously; Dragon Scales appeared on Bai Cangshu's body surface again. The moment the Brilliant Flame ignited on An Junxuan's body, he, having been prepared, lit up a layer of light on his body, and the Brilliant Flame was extinguished.

As the punches attacked continuously, his eyes were serious, as if he were conducting the greatest experiment of his life.

But the object of his seriousness was not the Tao Baibai before him, but rather, in his mind, he was struggling to imagine!

He had to imagine the essence of the power Tao Baibai used to instantly kill Inferior Demon Jiangming—that pitch-black power wrapped in intense death intent—what exactly was it?!

He had to imagine the existence of that power, and only then could he visualize the reality of himself using that power to kill Tao Baibai.

Magic is imagination.

A magic user cannot cast magic they cannot imagine.

An Junxuan's greatest talent, and the fundamental reason he could be absorbed by the Throne of Reality and Illusion, was that he had successfully obtained this unique magic belonging to him in the Frieren: Beyond Journey's End world—Copy Magic.

As long as he could understand the form of the opponent's power, he could use this magic to enable himself to wield the same power.

Even without the corresponding enhancement system, Magic Power could achieve similar effects.

Just as he knew clearly that Bai Cangshu's ability to turn his whole body pitch-black and harden was the Armament Haki from the Pirate World—he did not have Armament Haki, but because he knew the mechanism of this ability, his Magic Power likewise made his arms harden and granted him a certain degree of immunity to other energies.

Likewise, Bai Cangshu's martial arts abilities, his Wind-Turning ability, and all the various abilities he had displayed before him, An Junxuan could imitate.

Tao Baibai was one of the strongest individuals he had ever encountered below the level of the supreme; his physical strength, the diversity and comprehensiveness of his abilities, were simply incomparable to ordinary Title-level Reincarnators.

Therefore, An Junxuan abandoned the plan of imitating those Title-level Reincarnators to fight the opponent, choosing instead to use the previously imitated concealment ability to hide himself and observe Tao Baibai's methods of killing others with his own eyes.

Now, as he unleashed it, An Junxuan felt stronger than ever before; almost aside from those top-tier opponents he had never even had the chance to fight, in this state, he was already one of the strongest Reincarnators!

Every strike of An Junxuan's fists had terrifying force, with scorching white smoke and clouds whistling as they smashed out; he was certain that in this state, he could kill Reincarnators of the level of Black Box or Lingxin with a single punch.

Yet, under his bombardment, Tao Baibai's flesh only began to bleed...

Hum!

He threw a punch into empty air and instantly realized it; the next moment he turned into wind and disappeared. Having successfully imitated Instant, An Junxuan's speed was extremely fast. After turning into wind, he was like a hurricane passing through, instantly whipping up all the rubble into a tornado, lifting the ruins he had just bombarded into the sky.

And he lashed it toward Tao Baibai from mid-air.

Tao Baibai appeared from the wind, and the sand and stone tornado smashed directly in front of him.

Bang!

The sand and stone tornado exploded, and scorching white shockwaves like ripples of water blasted toward him.

An Junxuan merely stepped on the air using Moon Walk, and he had already pulled a distance of several hundred meters.

The scorching white shockwave smashed into the ground, and an entire city block collapsed with a roar.

Bai Cangshu's pupils trembled constantly, and the God's Artificial Eye had already lit up.

【You have consumed 1 Sin Point】

【You have activated Omen of the Evil God!】

Following this, he bent his knees, and 【Instant Eighth Stage】 was activated!

Screech!

The whistling sound of the air being torn apart had just rung out when sonic boom clouds appeared and shattered one after another.

"Hahahahaha!"

Bai Cangshu laughed wildly as he instantly smashed through the tornado An Junxuan had whipped up again, reached out with his right hand, and grabbed a person.

Without even looking, Bai Cangshu spun rapidly in mid-air and slammed them down with a bang.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three shockwaves appeared in succession; a figure tore through the air with a boom and slammed into the top of a building, which shattered instantly the next moment, and the figure pierced through three more buildings before finally crashing into the dust and smoke.

Bai Cangshu was getting excited; the muscles in his arms swelled, and from a distance of several thousand meters, he unleashed a continuous barrage of punches.

The viscous air was instantly beaten into a depression, and the next moment, a sound like a vibrating bowstring rang out.

Three white trails of smoke transformed into wild dragons, carving arcs through the air and striking the spot where the opponent had crashed into the ground one after another.

Bai Cangshu's eyes widened; those previous Reincarnators were not enough to fight, or they only relied on bizarre rule-based abilities to battle him, and there was nothing that could make him fight more joyfully than an opponent whose physical techniques were almost identical to his own.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three sounds of breaking air rang out, and three gravel fragments came flying through the air at a speed far exceeding that of a bullet; Bai Cangshu quickly swayed his head left and right, dodging the three stones.

He also stepped on the air, causing it to explode, and dove directly toward the ground below.

Below, An Junxuan's eyes were bright, and a pitch-black luster flowed obscurely over his right hand; he had finally imagined an ability that satisfied the requirement of a punch that leaves no life behind.

An instant-death type ability!

"Die, Tao Baibai!"

He threw a punch, the power of Gaojie Chana still present, combined with the speed of Tao Baibai rushing toward him.

In an instant, his fist struck Tao Baibai directly in the chest; in return, he was also struck by a massive, overwhelming force, his chest cavity instantly caved in, and the excruciating pain of his ribs piercing his internal organs made his vision go black, nearly causing him to lose consciousness.

Bang!

Bai Cangshu stumbled back two steps, the pitch-black Spell already having entered his body.

【Special Reincarnator ex051, you have been hit by a special ability attack, instant-death judgment is in progress...】
