Chapter 85: Sonic Punch! (3k, second update)

The vehicle tilted from the recoil of a shot from the 【Terminator's Grip】, but the driver's skills were excellent; they did not lose speed, but instead slammed on the gas and charged straight toward the commercial district ahead.

This type of 【Team Competition】 mission world is, by nature, the most brutal world of free-for-all combat.

Aside from facing plot missions, all Reincarnators must be on guard against attacks from other Reincarnators.

But conversely, those powerful Reincarnator teams view this type of mission world as an excellent opportunity to grow stronger.

As long as one obtains enough scarlet drops, that is a reward even an S-rank mission rating cannot provide.

Bai Cangshu put away the shotgun, his gaze shifting away from the Reincarnator who had glided out from behind.

The opponent was not relying on their own ability to fly, but was equipped with a wingsuit-like device, using the wind to fly rapidly.

When he fired that shot, the opponent reacted extremely quickly, spreading their arms wide; the massive air resistance allowed them to rapidly pull up and change direction, dodging the shot, but at the same time, they lost speed and could no longer remain stuck behind the car.

The corners of Bai Cangshu's mouth curled up; this was the first time he had seen a Reincarnator use this method to maneuver.

It must be said that Reincarnators are indeed a group of creatures capable of constantly giving him a sense of novelty.

Li De still felt a lingering fear as he glanced at the Reincarnator beside him who called himself "Tao Baibai"; the opponent's sensory ability was quite astonishing, actually discovering the enemy's tracks faster than 【Ka Wa】.

Too busy to talk, he gripped his seat, looking around nervously while simultaneously beginning to actively share information.

"Fifth Element is a somewhat famous 【Team】 in the East District. Their personnel are fixed, and all members supposedly live together in the real world, so their mutual trust and coordination are extremely high."

"The team leader is a Reincarnator with the codename 【Kai】, considered to possess 【Strong】-tier strength."

"Fifth Element has risen very quickly in the last half-year; although they have had losses, they replenish members quickly, and many lone wolves with decent strength have been absorbed by them."

"They are a troublesome bunch."

Bai Cangshu did not react, only watching as the car crashed straight into the green belt outside the commercial street at a speed exceeding eighty miles per hour.

He tapped his toes lightly, and the moment the door opened, he jumped out; like a Crane spreading its wings, he stood on the branch of a small tree, swaying to dissipate the forward momentum; the other three landed and rolled a few times to shed their inertia.

"Go, to the underground parking lot, we'll switch to another car and leave!"

Li De issued a brief command, but Bai Cangshu did not choose to follow; the three of them glanced at Bai Cangshu, who was swaying on the branch as if weightless, and without speaking further, they left directly.

After watching the three enter the pitch-black interior, Bai Cangshu saw, by the light of the moon in the sky, that the guy gliding in the air was circling above.

It was very clear that the opponent was waiting for someone.

This posture suggested they had already decided they had this group in the bag; they either had an absolute advantage in numbers, or they were absolutely confident in their own strength.

Moreover, the opponent was not worried that he could get away.

Bai Cangshu felt the surroundings; there was no killing intent, nor was there any hostility.

The reason he sensed the enemy's presence faster than that spellcaster was, naturally, because of 【Killing Intent Perception】.

At this moment, whether it was because the opponent was too far away or simply not staring at him, Bai Cangshu did not detect any killing intent; he dropped from the tree and stepped toward the main road.

The Reincarnator circling in the sky landed on the roof of a high-rise, wearing special goggles with built-in optical imaging.

"Report, the five-man group here has split into three teams; a two-man team has gone north along the main road on jet-skis. Laogui, get ready."

"Heh, they're already in my sights."

"The three-man team went underground, probably wanting to escape from the garage. Jiu Ge, you guys have no problem, right?"

"It's in the bag."

The Reincarnator with the codename 【Wei Yixiao】 looked again at the lone wolf who had just blasted him with a shotgun, and the next moment.

"What the hell?"

Wei Yixiao looked down, but there was no one left in his field of vision; he immediately checked the surroundings, but there were no traces; in those shops on the street, there was no sign of the opponent.

He looked toward the main road again and saw a figure sprinting rapidly from the rooftops of the commercial street, their Footwork extremely fast and steady; it was clear they had high-level Footwork Mastery.

"What's wrong, Bat? Any unexpected situations?"

Hearing the boss's voice, Wei Yixiao immediately added:

"That lone wolf is probably an agility-specialized Reincarnator; he's very fast and is parkouring across the rooftops heading west. It's fine, I'll go chase him."

"Be serious, Bat. This mission isn't a game. The degree of alienation in this world is very severe; we must clear out the idlers as soon as possible and then leave Tokyo."

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that in three days, Tokyo will be nuked, and after that..."

The laughter in the headset began to fade at this point; for this mission, even for 【Fifth Element】, completing it would not be easy.

They must, as much as possible, reintegrate the Plot Characters before that guy enters this world and gain the help of the world's momentum; otherwise, they are likely in for a grim fate.

In an instant, a massive explosion occurred from very far away.

As Bai Cangshu ran, he saw many Cursed Spirits appearing in several buildings due to the commotion of the explosion.

He frowned slightly; he discovered that in Tokyo, which should be the most prosperous city in Asia, he had been running for so long—and had even been following the vehicle earlier—yet he hadn't seen a single person. The vast city of Tokyo seemed to have truly become a dead city.

Thinking of the description in the Main Mission, 【Dead Silence City: Tokyo】, Bai Cangshu began to feel curious about what exactly had happened to this Jujutsu World.

By what means did that Reincarnator dm66616387 turn this world into this state?

To be able to, within a 30-day mission cycle, not only cause the death of a troublesome character like 【Gojo Satoru】, have the Zenin Clan wiped out, and make Dongjing Gaozhuan disappear...

Could it be that a Reincarnator with strength far exceeding this world entered through a special channel?

No, theoretically that shouldn't exist; even if it could be done, the Space would surely intervene, and the mission difficulty would be raised to a terrifying level.

Whoosh~

Bai Cangshu leaped up, jumping a distance of nearly seven meters, and landed on the opposite side of the commercial street.

His expression was calm, not at all like someone fleeing for his life, but rather like a seasoned hunter waiting for a wild wolf to walk into his trap.

Finally, that faint, elusive killing intent appeared once again in Bai Cangshu's perception; Bai Cangshu's ears twitched, and he had already heard the sound of the wingsuit cutting through the air.

He had already run a distance of nearly six kilometers by now; Bai Cangshu felt the killing intent behind him gradually intensifying, and the hairs on his back were almost standing on end.

He suddenly stopped his footsteps; extreme motion instantly turned into extreme stillness. As the powerful inertia struck, Bai Cangshu leaped up instantly, flipping in mid-air, and with a flash of light in his hand, the long-unused 【Doom Knocking】 appeared.

!

【Wei Yixiao】 was gliding in mid-air, chasing the pink-robed Reincarnator who was running at high speed; he had intended to keep driving the opponent until their stamina was exhausted, then descend to kill them easily.

But he hadn't expected the guy below to run for six or seven kilometers without any sign of slowing down. Wei Yixiao sensed something was off, and to avoid being led away, he took out a high-explosive grenade, intending to drop it from the air.

The next moment, the Reincarnator running rapidly below suddenly flipped in mid-air; the transition between motion and stillness was extremely abrupt, causing Wei Yixiao's heart to sink suddenly.

An expert!

He had seen this kind of stance on his own boss.

Subconsciously, he spread his arms and increased his altitude.

Bang!

Wei Yixiao felt a pain between his shoulder and waist; he had been shot, but fortunately, he was equipped with an item that provided extra protection against thermal weapons, so this shot did not cause any injury.

Wei Yixiao retracted his arms, spun his entire body dozens of times in the air, and landed on the ground.

He flicked a high-explosive grenade from his hand, throwing it far toward Bai Cangshu, while a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a javelin.

Bai Cangshu knew his own marksmanship was not refined; besides wanting to test the special effect of 【Doom Knocking】, his firing was meant to make the opponent mistakenly believe he was skilled at shooting.

Against a Reincarnator with this kind of Flight capability, if the opponent kept their distance, Bai Cangshu truly did not have a very good way to respond.

Seeing the opponent throw two grenades the moment they landed, Bai Cangshu was not panicked in the slightest; he stepped forward, and the next moment, his foot fell.

Bang!

Amidst the ground shaking violently, Bai Cangshu's figure vanished instantly.

Wei Yixiao, holding the javelin, felt his pupils tremble violently; he also possessed excellent dynamic vision, not to mention the assistance of technological equipment, and amidst the red light flashing on his radar as a warning, he locked onto a series of afterimages.

The next moment, Wei Yixiao also took a step, flicked his right hand, and it seemed to disappear.

Whoosh!

While sprinting, Bai Cangshu suddenly shifted his Footwork, his right foot stepping in front of his left, his body twisting instantly as if leaning against an invisible wall, turning left by more than 180 degrees; as his left foot slammed into the ground, his breathing between his nose and mouth became as explosive as thunder.

Chirp!

That terrifying sound burst forth, and Wei Yixiao only felt a fierce wind rushing toward his face.

Ring!

The alarm sound was about to explode from his goggles, and Wei Yixiao finally managed to react, turning his neck.

Boom!

The air emitted a dull thud; it was the sound of the punching speed and power being so terrifying that a mass of air was completely blasted out.

"This guy..."

Light flashed again in Wei Yixiao's hand as a new javelin appeared, but before he could raise it, the opponent had already turned sideways and slammed a shoulder into his body.

Bang!

Amidst the sound of a violent collision, Wei Yixiao felt himself flying again, watching the opponent rapidly recede from his field of vision.

Rumble!

Only after smashing through a storefront did he regain the physical sensation of his body.

"Captain! Pfft..."

Wei Yixiao opened his mouth and spat out blood; his chest felt terribly stifled, making him unable to speak clearly for a moment.

By the time he wanted to speak again, a hand had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"Fifth Element, not so impressive after all."

As Bai Cangshu spoke, his ears suddenly twitched, and he instantly grabbed Wei Yixiao and turned to shield himself with him.

A scorching white energy ball radiating intense Wave and impact swept over from several kilometers away, its diameter already exceeding two meters.

Boom!

The terrifying explosion detonated a dozen meters in front of Bai Cangshu.

The horrific Wave and impact force penetrated Bai Cangshu's body in an instant; his whole body went rigid, and he was unable to crush Wei Yixiao's neck.

【Wave Fist】!
