Basha’s Death

In his werewolf state, Youjiu stood nearly three meters tall. With a casual wave, he shattered the ceiling of the floor above. Bai Cangshu noticed that the werewolf’s claws emitted a scarlet glow.

His claws had not even touched the ceiling, yet the wall panels overhead and the concrete layer between the two floors were directly torn apart.

This guy was strong.

Youjiu lowered his head, saliva dripping unconsciously from the corner of his mouth. He took in the appearance of the two men and said disdainfully, "You’re the two little fish that escaped from our hands, aren’t you? Instead of cherishing the lives you got back, you actually came here to die."

"How laughable."

He stepped forward, approaching Bai Cangshu.

"Be careful, Brother Jiu. That guy isn’t simple!"

Leaning against the wall, Basha calmly took out a hemostatic spray and treated the wound where her arm had been severed. Her gaze remained fixed on Li De. She and Youjiu worked together seamlessly; without speaking, they both knew he intended to force a breakthrough and kill the stronger opponent first.

Li De had not expected that his enemies would be right in front of him, yet they did not even spare him a glance.

The humiliation made his resentment grow even fiercer. His curse power intensified, and his pupils began turning pitch-black.

Li De suddenly raised his hand. Intense curse power briefly gathered, then he swung it forcefully at Basha.

Splat!

The werewolf stretched out a hand, and his arm was instantly corroded into a bloody mess.

Bang!

The shotgun roared again, blasting Li De away in an instant.

A flash of light came from his chest as his talisman shattered.

Li De still looked dazed as he fell from the window the cursed spirit had smashed through.

These core members of Fifth Element were not merely powerful and experienced individually; their coordination with one another was also exceptionally skilled.

Seeing Bai Cangshu standing perfectly still, the werewolf could not help but mock him.

"Scared stupid, kid? You’re not even making a move at a time like this."

Bai Cangshu calmly watched the werewolf, whose attributes likely exceeded the limit. The destructive power of the other man’s casual attack was almost comparable to Bai Cangshu’s Rakshasa Palm while using Hamon.

And he possessed a special bloodline with incredibly powerful regeneration.

Interesting…

"Has no one ever told you that you talk too much?"

Bai Cangshu rolled his neck and spoke with a smile.

Youjiu had intended to taunt him, but this grotesquely ugly Avatar actually talked back. Worse still, talking too much was something his teammates often mocked him for.

Youjiu’s expression instantly turned cold.

He bent his right arm, his claws glinting with a chilling light. His knees bent as well, and that body, with muscles entirely unlike those of a human, gathered terrifying strength in an instant.

"Kid, any last words?"

Youjiu could not control his trash talk. It was itself part of his bloodline’s influence. His blood granted him vitality and savagery beyond humans, but it also cost him a measure of rationality and self-control.

Bai Cangshu shook his body, his muscles and bones crackling. In the face of the werewolf’s provocation, he merely bounced twice, then lowered his center of gravity slightly. He beckoned at the werewolf with his left hand and made a sound as though teasing a dog.

"Here, boy…"

In that instant, Youjiu felt the blood rush straight to his head. He could no longer suppress his killing intent, and strength exceeding 20 points erupted in an instant.

Boom!

The floor shattered instantly, leaving a hole nearly two meters wide, while Youjiu himself seemed to vanish.

Bai Cangshu’s pupils trembled slightly as they focused. The werewolf had already appeared before him, his raised right claw slashing viciously downward. Judging by the motion, he intended to tear Bai Cangshu in half.

Yet with every breath Bai Cangshu took, white mist seemed to emerge from his nose and mouth.

He drew in a massive breath of air. As Bai Cangshu’s muscles trembled, his body completed its adjustments in an instant.

His left foot stepped forward while his body folded toward the ground, lowering his center of gravity to a degree that nearly defied physics.

Bai Cangshu could practically feel the wail of the air as the gigantic claw glowing scarlet swept past him.

Splat!

The wall was like paper, and a massive slash mark appeared instantly.

The werewolf’s claw missed, and he reacted immediately. But the man on the ground had already moved like a nimble snake, slipping from beneath his feet to behind him.

Bai Cangshu raised both palms and pressed them against the werewolf’s lumbar spine and thigh in an instant.

Niko Style: Redirection Kata: Willow!

An utterly irresistible force erupted in an instant. Youjiu felt that his momentum had become completely impossible to stop. After charging forward and missing with his claw, the other man’s force combined with his own, twisting his body around and sending him flying sideways through the air.

Boom!

The werewolf crashed through the wall he had torn apart with his own claw and fell from dozens of meters in the air.

Basha’s pupils contracted. She had not expected Brother Jiu, whose combat strength was so formidable, to be knocked down in a single move.

Her heart sank. With one hand, she racked the shotgun, clamped it beneath her arm, and spun around sharply. At the same time, a blue Teleportation Gate appeared behind her once more.

This was a rare item she had acquired—a Teleportation Gate from some game world. After being charged at considerable cost, it could be used a limited number of times.

It had saved her life and let her kill her opponents in return several times before.

Now, she intended to repeat the trick.

Boom!

The entire floor collapsed in an instant. For no reason she could understand, panic welled up within Basha, and her steady left hand trembled for the first time.

Bang!

The shotgun fired first, but it hit absolutely nothing.

The next moment, a fierce gust rushed at her. In her eyes, the man’s figure stretched into a blurry afterimage.

This guy is so fast.

Basha thought this.

Immortal Way: Demonic Spear!

Golden Ripples splashed out like radiant light. Bai Cangshu instantly pierced through the woman. The talisman in front of her flashed once before shattering.

With Hamon circulating, Bai Cangshu’s Constitution had now reached 18 points. A single Demonic Spear would no longer shatter the bones in his hand.

He clearly felt his palm pierce into her chest, completely crushing her internal organs. The force vibrated through them.

The woman trembled once, and her heart had already exploded.

With a powerful flick, Bai Cangshu threw the woman’s corpse down from the air.

A figure clinging to the glass wall of the high-rise using corrosive curse power saw the woman falling. He let out a roar and swung his hand, and the woman’s body began dissolving in midair.

Foul-smelling flesh and blood rained down from the sky.

Your teammate, BS88565547 (Basha), has died.

The werewolf who had crashed onto the ground from dozens of meters up was now tearing into the side of the building and rapidly climbing upward. But the scarlet words appearing before his eyes made him freeze. He lost his balance and slid down the wall again.

"Basha… is dead?"

Youjiu felt a burning pain race across his scalp and spine. The cruel truth he refused to acknowledge slowly pierced through his psychological defenses.

"Urgh… Aaaargh!"

The werewolf’s anguished howl echoed through the City of Silence.

Wei Yixiao, who had arrived late, saw the notification of Basha’s death while gliding through the air. Startled, he immediately landed atop a nearby building.

He promptly contacted his captain through the Infinite Channel.

"Boss, something happened over here!"

"Boss?"

There was no response over the radio, only constant static.

The fear buried deep in his heart began erupting bit by bit.

He remembered the Plot Characters who had entered the City of Silence from another direction not long ago. Because there were too many cursed spirits, the boss had told the three of them to let the other side enter.

At the time, he could still contact the boss and Ah Gui, but now, every message had vanished without a trace.

Awooo!

A terrifying wolf howl began to ring out. Wei Yixiao could understand Brother Jiu’s grief, but he knew very well that losing his reason at a time like this was extremely dangerous.

Wei Yixiao gritted his teeth, leaped from the rooftop again, and began gliding.

He saw the werewolf clutching the walls of the high-rise and constantly leaping upward. His eyes were bloodshot, and his body had expanded further. Wei Yixiao understood that Brother Jiu had completely gone mad.

"Brother Jiu, calm down, Brother Jiu!"

"Wait for me to send you my location…"

Crack, beep beep…

The werewolf tore apart the radio. Wei Yixiao watched helplessly as the towering werewolf ripped through the building’s exterior wall and entered yet another combat environment unsuited to him.

It’s over. Brother Jiu can’t be communicated with at all anymore…

Wei Yixiao suddenly became incredibly flustered. He took out a javelin and threw it at the other target clinging to the glass exterior wall, but the target instantly slipped into the building.

Wei Yixiao did not dare follow him inside. He could only keep circling outside, anxiety churning within him.

Youjiu entered the building and swung a claw. Scarlet light shot forth.

The bird-shaped cursed spirit’s corpse shattered instantly.

Soul-Scattering Iron Claws!

"Come out!"

"Trash, come out and fight me!"

Youjiu had completely lost his reason, becoming a truly mad wolf.

He continuously bombarded the building’s walls, smashing even the load-bearing walls apart.

Listening to the commotion, Bai Cangshu curled his lips into a smile and calmly grabbed the scarlet card before him.

You have killed Reincarnator BS88565547 in a Team Competition world.

Karma Points +1. Current total: 3.

Reincarnator BS88565547's Private Space has merged into your Private Space. You may inspect it after entering your space.

You have obtained Scarlet Drop Card ×1.

Standing beneath the shattered building, Bai Cangshu looked at the werewolf above, who was like a mad dog, and suddenly clapped his hands.

Clap! Clap!

Youjiu’s ears twitched. Hearing the sound, he looked down from above.

Bai Cangshu held the Scarlet Drop Card in his hand and waved it at the werewolf.

"That woman wasn’t bad."

Those words undoubtedly snapped the last string in Youjiu’s heart.

He roared and leaped directly down from the shattered floor, both claws sweeping out.

Scarlet claw-light instantly cut the entire skyscraper in half.

Bai Cangshu leaped lightly, curling himself into a ball. As he spun through the air and heard the building shatter and collapse with a thunderous crash, he tapped the air with the tip of his foot and sprang out from the side as though weightless.

"Don’t run!"

With a roar that seemed to rise from hell itself, the werewolf’s eyes turned white. In an instant, he broke past his limits, stepped on the air, and shot downward, actually reaching out and grabbing Bai Cangshu.

The building collapsed at the same time.

Rumble!

Everything was swallowed by dust. Wei Yixiao circled in the air, completely at a loss for what to do.
