【You have opened a Scarlet Drop Card】

【Drop opening...】

【Calculating target Killing Points, target Killing Points are: 24, rewards increased】

【Calculating your Killing Points...】

【Detected that ex051 possesses Sin Points, you will receive 1 additional reward selection】

【Calculation complete, for this opening, you may choose 2 items from the following rewards】

【a: 70% of the Dimension Points】

【b: 4 items from the Backpack】

【c: Obtain an additional 10% of the Main Attribute added to your own attributes】

【d: Randomly draw 1 Specialty, retaining a maximum level of lv5】

【e: Randomly obtain 1 Ability, ability can only retain a level of lv3】

【f: 5% probability to extract a Bloodline Item, bloodline optimization not retained】

Bai Cangshu crushed the Werewolf's Scarlet Drop Card; somewhat to his surprise, the opponent's Killing Points were not as high as he had imagined.

However, upon second thought, it was understandable; this Werewolf did not specialize in hunting newcomers like Evans, and almost only encountered other teams in team competitive modes.

If the strength gap between Reincarnator teams is not large, they actually will not recklessly choose to engage in team battles; both sides will try their best to negotiate, avoiding the conflict portions of the Main Mission, allowing both teams to finish the mission with a similar completion rate.

No matter how good the mission rewards are, one must be alive to take them.

The ecology of Reincarnators is very similar to the animal kingdom in a primeval jungle; even if you are a predator, you will not risk injury or death to hunt prey that possesses significant ability to resist.

As for why the 【Fifth Element】 started hunting Bai Cangshu and the others without a word in this world, Bai Cangshu guessed it was because their approach after appearing was seen by the scout gliding in the air.

Thus, they judged that these few were either a weak team incapable of resistance or lone-wolf Reincarnators.

After the 【Fifth Element】's signal flare, the fact that the group began to flee only confirmed this point for the 【Fifth Element】, who then initiated the hunt.

Tsk, Bai Cangshu felt he had gained quite a bit more understanding of Reincarnators; he was just like a young male lion that had just arrived on the African savanna, absorbing these hunting experiences bit by bit.

Seeing the options that appeared in the Scarlet Drop, this time there was an extra option to extract a Bloodline Item; Bai Cangshu was unsure if it appeared because the opponent possessed bloodline abilities, or if it was because his own Sin Points had increased by two and the opponent's Killing Points were also not low.

Regarding these options, Bai Cangshu first confirmed 【c】 as always; for Bai Cangshu, in a situation where he could not confirm what special items or abilities the opponent possessed, Attribute Points were an option that would never result in a loss.

What's more, this Werewolf's attributes had clearly already broken through the Extreme Value.

As for the other, Bai Cangshu had never seen the Werewolf use items during the battle, so he guessed the opponent probably didn't have much stock, or they were the type equipped on the body, but the uncertainty was high, and Dimension Points were useless to him.

"Choose c and f."

Bai Cangshu prepared to test this 5% probability.

【You chose c, drawing...】

【Your Strength attribute +2, currently: 17 (15+2)】

【You chose f, drawing...】

【Extracting Bloodline Item, extraction... successful】

【You obtained Bloodline Item: Werewolf (Rare)】

Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow; he didn't expect the 5% probability to actually succeed, and he secretly thought to himself that perhaps this was the "first-draw protection" mechanism.

At the same time, he felt his muscles, including his bones, being strengthened once again; he clenched his fist, and the increase in his strength was quite obvious.

He felt that at this moment, if his striking posture was correct, he could already land a heavy punch of 2 tons.

However, this also verified from another perspective that the Werewolf's Strength attribute had indeed exceeded 20, crossing the Extreme Value.

Recalling the moment the two punched each other and he was sent flying with almost no ability to resist, perhaps after crossing the Extreme Value, the increase in attributes was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Bai Cangshu crushed the other Scarlet Drop Card again.

【You have opened a Scarlet Drop Card】

【Drop opening...】

【Calculating target Killing Points, target Killing Points are: 17, rewards increased】

【Calculating your Killing Points...】

【Detected that ex051 possesses Sin Points, you will receive 1 additional reward selection】

【Calculation complete, for this opening, you may choose 2 items from the following rewards】

【a: 60% of the Dimension Points】

【b: 4 items from the Backpack】

【c: Obtain an additional 10% of the Main Attribute added to your own attributes】

【d: Randomly draw 1 Specialty, retaining a maximum level of lv4】

【e: Randomly obtain 1 Ability, ability can only retain a level of lv2】

"Choose c and b."

The time that woman fought with Bai Cangshu was very short; the only things that left a deep impression on Bai Cangshu were the woman's calmness and that special item that could teleport.

【You chose c, drawing... drawing abnormal, target attributes balanced, will draw randomly】

【Your Spirit attribute +1, currently: 15 (14+1)】

Bai Cangshu clicked his tongue; he didn't expect that woman to be similar to him, a Reincarnator with balanced attributes.

【You chose b, drawing...】

【You obtained item: Quality Tobacco Leaves (White)】

【You obtained item: 7.62 Bullets * 60 (White)】

【You obtained item: Doll · Homemade】

【You obtained item: Doll · Homemade】

Bai Cangshu looked down, and those two so-called homemade dolls were completely things simply pieced together from rags and straw.

"This woman... ha, interesting."

Bai Cangshu knew he had been played, but at the same time, his estimation of that woman rose once again.

Unlike that werewolf who only had a Bloodline, she was a Reincarnator who was far more qualified; she had actually anticipated the situation of her own death and, in order to reduce the chance of the enemy who killed her looting her rare items, had filled her Backpack with a large number of useless items.

Bai Cangshu dropped the doll and walked straight into the pitch-black Barrier.

Following the path that Xia Youjie and the others had cleared, plus the constant sound of explosions ringing out inside the Barrier at this moment, he already roughly knew the situation of both sides.

Bai Cangshu's speed was extremely fast; unlike those hesitant Cursed Users, the Cursed Users were afraid of the unknown curse, afraid of the terrifyingly strong enemy that even Gojo Satoru had fallen to.

But Bai Cangshu was incomparably certain of his own guess; there was no unknown curse at all, and that strong enemy who had indirectly caused Gojo Satoru's fall should also be trapped by now.

Inside this Barrier, this moment happened to be the time of least danger.

A quarter of an hour later, Bai Cangshu finished smearing his own blood onto a skeleton, and only after turning his head did he see that terrifying Wave Fist erupt.

After he got closer, he first saw the huge White Crow sword energy strike before Gojo Satoru's corpse, achieving nothing, and then noticed that the woman wearing the cloak was patting Gojo Satoru's corpse, trying to wake the other party up in advance.

A huge fox with a body length of over several hundred meters suddenly appeared out of thin air, and in one bite, swallowed the Gojo Satoru who had just opened his eyes in the air, as well as the White Face who had just turned his head, into its belly.

A terrifying Wave of Spirit Power swept across the entire scene.

Xia Youjie and Ieiri Shoko, and even Kai and the others, were all stunned.

The aura of this huge fox was completely unlike a Cursed Spirit, and it was also different from the Possessed Spirit summoned by White Face burning Witch Power.

The fox's body was covered with huge eyes, and the pupils in the eyes presented a spiral pattern, showing a strange aesthetic.

Bai Cangshu saw that his Main Mission had not yet failed, knowing that the Cursed Spirit King had not yet fully awakened.

【You attacked Reincarnator dm66616387; based on the difference in Spirit between both parties, you obtained relevant information】 【Your attack did not affect Reincarnator dm66616387】

The combat information prompt made Bai Cangshu even more certain that the other party was in an extremely special state at this moment.

His own attack was not blocked by the other party and failed to cause damage, but rather, it was unable to cause an effect.

This was a strike of Inari; the other party could ignore the effect, and compared to the Limitless of the Cursed Spirit Gojo Satoru, Bai Cangshu was more inclined to believe... the other party was still in the middle of a ritual at this time.

"Kai, you are truly becoming more and more useless; you actually didn't clear away these irrelevant people?"

White Face's voice was still clearly emitted from the fox's body.

This made this evil fox seem as if it were in a rage, suddenly emitting a terrifying Wave of Spirit Power from its whole body.

Hum~

A violent red light erupted from within the fox, and the next moment, the black Barrier began to show shattering cracks.

The power limit of 【Secret Rite: Strike of Inari】 was far beyond Bai Cangshu's imagination.

Xia Youjie was also fully armed at this time, and intense Cursed Energy surged in an instant.

He did not perform a Domain Expansion; instead, countless Cursed Spirits lunged out almost simultaneously, heading in all directions, covering the various ritual nodes inside the Barrier that he had calculated.

!

"Next, I will concentrate the Cursed Energy of over two thousand Cursed Spirits to deliver a full-power strike."

Xia Youjie calmly stated his intention.

This was also a type of Cursed Technique called 【Binding Vow】, which meant imposing unfavorable conditions on oneself through various forms to strengthen the power of one's Cursed Technique.

Xia Youjie voluntarily explained his attack intention, which would make the other party have a defensive mentality; this was an unfavorable condition, and likewise, he also used this form to enhance his own Cursed Energy.

Intense Cursed Energy began to spread in a spiral shape.

Thump!

The violent sound of a heartbeat rang out once again.

The movement this time was incomparably huge.

The huge fox suddenly began to bleed yellow liquid from its seven orifices, and then it exploded with a bang.

Bai Cangshu felt a stinging pain on the back of his hand, and that Cursed Seal also dimmed immediately.

【Cursed Seal eroded by Yellow Springs, entered unusable state】

"Hahaha... hahahaha"

Wild laughter rang out; first, blue-white Cursed Energy soared into the sky, Gojo Satoru's figure was straight, his severed limbs hung down naturally, and the chains connected to his limbs had already been completely severed.

Behind Gojo Satoru, an invisible door was slowly pushed open, and accompanied by White Face's wild laughter, White Face also recovered her ability to act.

She reached out and beckoned, and the ghostly blue Fox Fire appeared beneath her.

"Gojo Satoru, in the end, you still couldn't stop the Huangquanzhimen from opening."

A huge river of turbid yellow fell from behind Gojo Satoru, the auras of countless Resentful Spirits appeared from within it, and the temperature began to drop rapidly.

White Face recovered her ability to act and immediately pointed a finger at Kai and Old Ghost.

The Fox Fire opened its mouth and spat out ghostly blue flames.

The two disappeared instantly.

Xia Youjie and Bai Cangshu, however, did not move at all, letting that chilling river of the dead submerge their ankles.

"Shoko, could I ask you to take everyone and leave here first."

Xia Youjie pressed his palms together in front of him, and the terrifying Cursed Energy caused a gale to blow around him; the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Tamamo-no-Mae had already merged into the vortex behind Xia Youjie.

Every moment, a large number of Cursed Spirits were being devoured, and his Cursed Energy intensity had reached an unimaginable realm.

Ieiri Shoko looked at Gojo Satoru in the sky, who had opened his eyes, inside which there was no longer the blue sky and white clouds, but instead a blood-red expanse, and finally gave up hope.

"Is there any difference between leaving and not leaving now?"

She took a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket, wanting to light one.

Bang!

A huge force struck; with just one blow, Bai Cangshu sent this woman, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually pessimistic to the point of despair in her heart, flying.

If Ieiri Shoko did not have Reverse Cursed Technique, she would likely have been killed directly by that one blow.

She flew almost horizontally for nearly a hundred meters.

Bai Cangshu then said:

"If Gojo Satoru dies, does the world end?"

"Just because this guy is rambling on here, you all think he's guaranteed to win?!"

A comical, absurd smile appeared on his face as he exchanged a glance with Xia Youjie.

"You probably don't think so either, right, Xia Youjie?"

Xia Youjie's expression calmed down.

"Of course not; after all, the Savior of this world right now is me."

With a playful expression, Xia Youjie spread his arms wide.

"Cursed Spirit Manipulation: Maximum Technique: Uzumaki!"

A terrifying Wave roared, tearing open the surrounding darkness and revealing the appearance of Tokyo once again.

In the sky, White Face turned his head leisurely, saw through Xia Youjie's intentions, and sneered incessantly.

Pretending to use a 【Binding Vow】 to strengthen his Cursed Technique was actually a lie to cover his true purpose; Xia Youjie did not intend to attack him, but rather wanted to disrupt the ritual.

There is no way I would let you do such a thing.

Since the ritual has begun, it is impossible to stop it without the bloodline of the Tsuchimikado clan.

This is the reason he brought almost all the members of the Tsuchimikado clan into the Barrier.

He had long since eliminated the possibility of the ritual being terminated.

Boom!

Xia Youjie's Cursed Energy erupted completely; his figure was almost blown away by the intense force, but Xia Youjie still gripped this "Cursed Energy Cannon" and swept it horizontally with a fierce motion.

Countless Cursed Spirits and Resentful Spirits vanished into thin air in an instant.

Amidst White Face's sneer, a Fox Fire ignited from beneath the corpse of Gojo Satoru.

The next moment.

"Moo!"

Gojo Satoru opened his mouth and let out a Monster's roar.

Ripples of invisible Wave spread out with Gojo Satoru as the center; the Resentful Spirits that touched those waves were killed almost instantly.

【Main Mission Phase Two: Prevent the resurrection of the King of Cursed Spirits, has failed】

【Forced initiation of Main Mission Phase Three: Terminate the King of Cursed Spirits, Gojo Satoru】

Scarlet Cursed Energy erupted from within Gojo Satoru's body, instantly healing his severed limbs; at the same time, dense clusters of eyes began to open on his hands, each one a 【Six Eyes】 with blue skies and white clouds flowing within the pupils.

But in just a moment, the blue skies and white clouds were submerged by the scarlet Cursed Energy.

The 【King of Cursed Spirits】 had completely awakened.

White Face laughed wildly in the sky; Fox Fire submerged the swordsman Old Ghost, and amidst Kai's desperate roar, a Wave Fist erupted with determination.

Bai Cangshu reflected everything in his eyes, yet a strange smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

He formed a hand seal alone and carved blood onto his other hand.

"Taishan Fujun Festival, activate!"
