Chapter 96: The Ability of [White Face] (3k First Update)

【Team member ud39655522 (Youjiu) has died】

Kai exhaled a breath of stale air; a moment ago, upon seeing the notification of Basha's death, he had a bad premonition.

Although Youjiu had strengthened his Bloodline, he lacked common sense; without Basha's command and control, he was prone to going berserk.

He hadn't expected him to be killed off so quickly.

Damn it, could it be that some other powerful team has entered this world?

Who on earth is that damned ID xx53562211!

Why does he seem to have some impression of this ID...

"Hey, Boss, the situation outside is very bad. Should we retreat?"

Acceleration frowned. He wasn't very close with Youjiu and Basha and didn't usually operate with them, but Youjiu was a core combatant of the team, and as a Reincarnator who had strengthened his Bloodline, he was clearly a veteran member of the Fifth Element.

This kind of attrition was a major loss for any team.

The space they were currently in felt like a pitch-black night, completely isolated from the outside of the Barrier.

Neither radio signals nor Telepathy could connect the inside and outside of the Barrier.

The only exception was the space notifications.

But very unluckily for the members of the Fifth Element, the space notifications they saw were all messages about team members dying.

Kai couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, guessing whether some hidden Plot Character had killed his teammates, such as that Cursed User hiding behind the scenes for a thousand years, or perhaps Ryomen Sukuna who had yet to awaken, or... those exceptionally powerful Special Grade Cursed Spirits from the plot.

"Heh, you're wavering, Kai."

A massive voice rang out from the dark space. In an instant, countless Resentful Spirits shrieked again; dense swarms of Resentful Spirits and Cursed Spirits were everywhere in this space.

An ordinary Paper-rank Reincarnator would likely die before even dealing with these cannon fodder.

A slightly stronger Parallel-rank Reincarnator could only struggle to protect themselves with the help of items.

Kai's entire body radiated intense Waves; all the Resentful Spirits and Cursed Spirits that rushed at him were shattered upon impact by that Wave.

He stood at the very front of the team, his face livid, his entire body exuding a terrifying aura.

This scene also caught the eye of Xia Youjie, who was able to perceive the surrounding Intelligence in this special space through the vision of his Cursed Spirits.

"What's wrong?"

Kusakabe asked Xia Youjie.

Xia Youjie shook his head and continued to follow the group forward. Each of them held a white talisman, the final legacy of the Yin-Yang Arts noble clan, the Tsuchimikado.

Xia Youjie had already let the new generation of Sorcerers divide these items among themselves.

These talismans could, to a certain extent, drive away Resentful Spirits and reduce the attrition of the Sorcerers.

Moreover, Ieiri Shoko was extremely proficient in the Reverse Cursed Technique; she was a Sorcerer accustomed to outputting "positive energy," which also possessed a strong restraining effect on Resentful Spirits.

"Nothing, just saw a monkey that is exceptionally powerful."

Afterward, Xia Youjie clapped his hands and spoke.

"While that guy's attention is all on the monkey, we need to quickly find the location of all the ritual nodes."

"Perhaps, this time we really might be the ones to save Tokyo."

It was clearly a heroic deed of saving the world, yet in Xia Youjie's mouth, it carried only a mocking tone.

As if the matter of saving the world was simply ridiculous to him.

Among the many Sorcerers present, only Ieiri Shoko understood that this guy, who had recently resolved to slaughter all ordinary people, was the one least associated with saving the world.

It's just that...

Ieiri Shoko looked up, as if wanting to find the corpse of her other friend.

But the one who would disregard everyone else's will and say to leave everything to him was already dead.

"Found it!"

A Sorcerer walking at the very front spoke, and everyone's attention was drawn.

It was a skeleton wearing a white haori, sitting on the ground. The clothes were new, but the flesh on the corpse had already vanished, and the bones had turned pitch-black, as if they had existed here for who knows how many years.

Xia Youjie stepped forward, bit his finger, and drew a special symbol according to the method he had forced out of Tsuchimikado Ochiai.

The others began to use this skeleton as a reference point to carefully measure the nearby ground.

No ritual arrangement is without pattern; there must be some kind of rule between every node. As long as one node is found, the other nodes are easy to locate.

Ieiri Shoko watched everyone searching carefully and felt she shouldn't be so listless. She picked a direction at random and walked into the darkness, her expression devoid of any fear.

Xia Youjie noticed this scene, smiled, and walked in another direction.

High in the sky, a Reincarnator draped in white robes looked down at the group of Plot Characters and the cold, imposing Kai, her expression calm.

Her limbs were bound by blood-red chains, and a massive phantom loomed behind her.

And directly above her.

A tall man had his arms spread wide, as if to block something, but those Six Eyes, which should have been swirling with blue skies and white clouds, were now completely dead.

Gojo Satoru was chained all over by those blood-red chains, as if something wanted to drag him into the void, or as if something wanted to emerge from the darkness, but Gojo Satoru pulled the chains tight, preventing that door from opening.

The gaze of White Face shifted, finally resting on Gojo Satoru.

"Tsk, so this is the so-called strongest of the current generation..." "Because he is the strongest of the current generation, he must protect the current generation; what a truly unreasonable robber's Logic."

"However, soon... I will obtain everything and ascend to that realm..."

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly; a section of the chain on her right hand snapped, and at the same time, a section of the chain behind Gojo Satoru also broke.

She immediately realized that those Plot Characters had discovered the secret of the ritual.

Sure enough, the Tsuchimikado clan still had a contingency plan; it was just a pity that she had needed the bloodline of the Tsuchimikado clan members to open the ritual at the time and hadn't been able to kill them all beforehand.

With a thought, a spark suddenly appeared in the air; it was the result of some invisible object using its own existence to rub against the air, creating a reaction.

Whoosh!

A ghostly blue flame ignited out of thin air, hanging in mid-air and drifting up and down; only after that ghostly blue flame did a massive fox begin to manifest.

The fox was entirely snow-white, its pupils ice-blue, exuding an aura that was less holy and more eerie.

As soon as this fox appeared, the Resentful Spirits in the surroundings ignited out of thin air, screaming as they dissipated.

"Fox Fire, go, burn those fellows all to ashes!"

!

The giant fox, over three meters in size, moved without a sound, and the air was not even disturbed by it; under the command of White Face, its figure vanished once again.

Only those three faint blue flames drifted in the darkness, appearing and disappearing.

Before long, Xia Youjie suddenly heard an exclamation; he turned to look, only to see several Cursed Users he had brought with him completely enveloped in faint blue flames.

No matter how much they let their Cursed Energy surge, the flames could not be extinguished; by the time the flames faded, the few had already collapsed to the ground, devoid of life.

Xia Youjie suddenly felt a stinging pain in his back; with a thought, a giant Cursed Spirit suddenly burst out from beneath the ground and swallowed him.

The next moment, three Ghost fires lit up, and the giant Special Grade Cursed Spirit instantly ignited.

Pfft!

Xia Youjie tore open the Cursed Spirit's belly and flipped out from behind to dodge.

A Cursed Spirit that had reached Special Grade was killed in seconds without even putting up a decent resistance.

This kind of power...

His mind stirred, and looking back at those corpses, he saw their bodies were perfectly preserved, and he immediately understood where the problem lay.

"Be careful, the enemy can attack the Soul directly."

Meimei, the Grade 1 Sorcerer with long hair covering her face, immediately jumped back, spreading her arms; countless crows appeared from the darkness, dense and numerous, almost covering most of the sky.

Just for a moment, the faint blue Fox Fire ignited again.

She used her ability to control black crows via Divine Wind to locate the enemy's position, and the others immediately deployed their Cursed Techniques.

Cursed Energy began to erupt in an instant.

At the same time, Kai also sensed the change in the environment, and his mind stirred.

"White Face's Possessed Spirit has been dispatched; that guy's condition is indeed not right."

He began to run rapidly, and the others had no choice but to keep up.

Kai's movements were concise and powerful; as he ran, every punch he threw caused the air to emit a terrifying sound like a cannonball leaving the chamber.

Whether it was Resentful Spirits or Cursed Spirits, they were completely unable to rival that power of Wave.

Kai was tracking the trail of White Face; perhaps this was his last chance to defeat the opponent!

Fifth Element was itself a much larger team, but in a previous mission, Fifth Element encountered the team where White Face was located.

Kai originally did not want to offend this Elite Reincarnator who had been taken under the wing of the Strongest, so he negotiated to complete the mission together and separately hunt down other Reincarnator squads that entered that world.

But at the end of the mission, White Face suddenly turned against them without warning, causing Fifth Element to suffer heavy losses.

Of the 9-member veteran group, only Kai, Youjiu, and Old Ghost remained; Kai sniped White Face in subsequent mission worlds, causing White Face's team to also suffer severe attrition.

The two sides had formed a feud.

But the weight of the dead was completely different for the two, which determined that this kind of battle would not be the end.

Upon learning that White Face had previously completed a terrifying layout in this world and could take the opportunity to enter the Fierce rank, Kai could not possibly sit by and watch the opponent succeed.

The strength of the two could originally be considered close; if White Face took a step further, then Fifth Element would likely be completely wiped out.

Kai sold off the team's resources, determined to destroy White Face's attempt in this world.

While thinking, Kai suddenly sensed a trace of an aura; he suddenly looked up, and sure enough, as the battle on both sides fully erupted, a large number of Resentful Spirits died.

And the Plot Character side seemed to have destroyed the nodes of the ritual; the ability to interfere with perception in this space had already decreased significantly.

Kai sensed it, that special aura unique to White Face.

That special, nauseating aura, which made everyone unconsciously focus their attention on them, was no exception at this moment, instantly allowing Kai to find White Face's location.

Kai saw that White Face's hands and feet were bound by blood-red chains, and he knew that the opponent was probably in a bad state at the moment.

He directly brought his hands together, twisted his body, and pulled them to his waist.

Intense Wave surged in his hands.

Wave Fist!
