Slaughter, Bai Cangshu VS Basha (3K First Update)

"Ah!"

"Help!"

Li De was jolted awake by the screams. He was in terrible condition, his eye sockets sunken and his body gaunt—a sign of excessive mental exhaustion.

He walked out of Shoko Ieiri’s infirmary and discovered that not only was Shoko Ieiri gone, but all the other Jujutsu Sorcerers had vanished as well.

The heavy stench of blood gradually pulled his senses back to reality. He sneered, letting his hands hang at his sides as black cursed energy dripped continuously like liquid.

Suguru Geto and Shoko Ieiri had been right. Only this hatred, this resentment that wanted to burn the whole world down with him, could let him take revenge.

Cursed energy might not have magic’s broad range of applications or high ceiling, but who cared…

He only wanted revenge. Even if he could drag Fifth Element down into hell with him, that would be wonderful.

Following the scent of blood, he staggered down to the first floor.

The meeting room’s door was tightly shut, but blood was continuously flowing out through the crack beneath it.

He sniffed. He had never noticed before that the smell of blood could be so wonderful, enough to make one… work up an appetite.

Perhaps before he died, he ought to try some things he had never tried before.

Li De revealed a smile brimming with malice.

Pfft~

He reached out, and the door seemed to corrode, instantly melting away beneath his cursed energy.

Bang!

A black shadow shot toward him out of nowhere. Li De instinctively raised a hand, and black cursed energy instantly corroded more than half of the spherical object.

Li De looked down. It was a severely deformed head.

"Well, what a coincidence. You’re still alive?"

Bai Cangshu recognized the man who had enthusiastically given him a ride partway not long ago. The other man was completely different from his previously spirited self. If not for his unchanged clothing and the several distinctive silver-white rings still on his fingers, Bai Cangshu would not have recognized him at once.

Li De was somewhat dazed. This lone-wolf player had actually survived until now?

But what about himself…

He lowered his head, and the cursed energy around him surged even more violently.

Sensing the sudden killing intent, Bai Cangshu regulated his breathing. Golden ripple began radiating from his hands, spreading outward in rings like golden wings drifting behind him.

"Li De, are you ready?"

"Ready to die in a place where no one will ever know."

Bai Cangshu could roughly guess what the other man had gone through. It was nothing more than the story of another positive, friendly young Reincarnator, twisted beyond recognition by grim, dark reality.

But he would not sympathize with him, much less hold back.

If you want to fight, then I’ll kill you. That’s all.

Li De sniffed. Intense killing intent washed over him. Perhaps because of his cursed energy, he was now more sensitive to killing intent.

This lone wolf, who had not even had time to give them his codename, was indeed no simple character. That brutal aura made it seem as though he had already killed hundreds of people.

Standing amid mangled corpses, he truly did resemble a Killer Demon.

He recovered a little of his reason.

His life should not be spent in a place like this.

He turned, preparing to leave.

You have completed Side Mission: Prevent the Nuclear Explosion

Obtained C-rank Anomaly Point *1, Dimensional Points 3000

The Minister of Defense, who had pleaded with America to cancel the nuclear launch under the threat of death, was now trembling like a leaf.

Seeing that the mission was complete, Bai Cangshu patted the man on the shoulder before speaking to Li De.

"Li De, interested in getting revenge on the people who turned this world into such a mess?"

He thought about it and felt that phrasing lacked impact for a Reincarnator, so he changed his words.

"No, I mean going to fight the Reincarnators who butchered your teammates to death."

Li De stopped. After choking out a few sobs, he finally spoke in a voice that seemed to crawl out of the abyss.

"Where?"

Bai Cangshu walked over to the wall, shoved both hands into his pockets, and kicked.

Boom!

The wall instantly shattered, revealing a huge hole. Outside, a bird-shaped cursed spirit was already waiting.

Bai Cangshu tilted his head toward Li De.

"The City of Silence. Tokyo."

Once the two men climbed onto its back, the enormous bird-shaped cursed spirit flapped its wings and flew directly into the sky.

Suguru Geto had prepared this mount for Bai Cangshu. The moment of the final battle had arrived.

The cursed spirit flew extremely fast. In only around forty minutes, it carried them above Tokyo.

The dense aura of death and curses made the cursed spirit move even faster.

But Bai Cangshu suddenly felt killing intent lock onto him. He turned toward a high-rise several hundred meters away, his hawk-like pupils narrowing into focus.

A woman in a baseball cap appeared on the roof, the firearm in her hand aimed in their direction.

Bang!

Before Bai Cangshu could even warn Li De, the gun had fired.

The bird-shaped cursed spirit shuddered. A hole as wide as a bowl appeared in its body, and a large amount of blood began spraying out.

Almost instantly, the cursed spirit lost its ability to resist. Bai Cangshu knew it was probably some kind of enchanted bullet or specially treated ammunition.

These High-tier Reincarnators certainly would not be as reckless as he was. They would prepare in advance for all kinds of mission worlds.

Bai Cangshu immediately pressed his hands together like a blade. With cursed energy flowing through them, he drove them directly into the bird-shaped cursed spirit’s wing, then hauled upward with all his strength.

Basha’s shot had hit. She saw that the bird-shaped cursed spirit had been about to fall, only to suddenly raise its wings and begin gliding through the air. Her expression changed, and she immediately gave a warning through her earpiece.

"Brother Jiu, get here fast! Something’s happening on my end!"

She was cautious and would never underestimate an opponent. The moment she saw the dead cursed spirit begin gliding, she put away her gun and turned to run toward the passage behind her.

Sure enough, amid the roaring wind, the huge cursed spirit was being deliberately guided toward the building.

Like a plane crashing into a skyscraper.

Boom!

With a terrifying impact, the cursed spirit slammed straight into the middle of the nearly one-hundred-meter-tall building. The glass wall instantly shattered, and the cursed spirit became lodged inside.

Basha was fast and remarkably steady on her feet. At the instant of impact, she leaped like a spirit cat, bouncing off the stairwell walls several times to evade the blast’s reach while dropping more than ten floors from the rooftop in an instant.

The sniper rifle in her hands had been switched for a shotgun better suited for close-quarters combat.

Only a few dozen seconds later, she saw a figure seemingly stuck inside the dead cursed spirit’s mangled, bloody corpse, pulling himself free.

Her eyesight was excellent, and she instantly recognized him as the only one of the trio Wei Yixiao had reported who had escaped.

Bang!

One shot sent the cursed spirit’s flesh exploding everywhere, even blasting apart the floor.

This gun was immensely powerful. In terms of burst damage, ordinary Reincarnators of the same rank simply could not compare to high-powered firearms.

Basha immediately flicked the gun, chambering another round. As she leaped down through the air, she aimed again and pulled the trigger.

A tremendous force suddenly rose from beneath her feet. Basha’s shot missed, and as the floor exploded apart, her expression remained utterly calm. The shotgun in her hand vanished, replaced by two activated grenades.

Bai Cangshu had grabbed the woman’s foot, intending to smash her straight down. But whether it was her reaction speed or response, she was terrifyingly composed. Those two activated grenades were enough to blow Bai Cangshu apart along with her the instant he smashed her down.

Bai Cangshu regulated his breathing, his body becoming as tough as rock. He stepped forward and twisted his center of gravity.

Creak!

His muscles were stretched by tremendous force like bowstrings, producing a grating sound.

Basha’s heart skipped a beat. That tremendous force actually spun her in midair out of her downward-smashing posture and hurled her out the window.

Whoosh!

Basha weighed less than 140 jin. With a Reincarnator’s attributes and that degree of muscle density, she was already extremely light. That tremendous force nearly let her hear the air violently scraping past her ears.

Her pupils contracted. She had been thrown out the window.

Only then did she see clearly that the man fighting her had blood-red skin all over his body, wore a pink robe, and had an ugly face.

Boom!

The High-Explosive Grenade in Basha’s hand detonated in midair, engulfing her as well.

Bai Cangshu’s heart stirred. There was no kill notification, not even an attack notification…

The other side had a special ability!

Bai Cangshu instantly lowered himself, then stomped with both feet and shot onto the roof. After several more steps, he vanished from sight.

At that moment, a blue Teleportation Gate appeared on the wall, and the woman leaped out with her shotgun in hand. She had not expected that guy to be so alert. This move had allowed her to counterkill quite a few skilled opponents.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

The walls shook violently. Basha kept tracking the source of the noise. Her opponent was upstairs!

She looked toward the stairwell, but the ceiling above her suddenly shattered with a thunderous crash. Amid the falling concrete, that red figure dragged a trail of light like golden wings as it descended from the air in an instant.

That hand twisted to the absolute limit.

Basha’s dynamic vision was excellent. She desperately tried to turn and raise her gun, but the other side was unbelievably fast. She could only watch as that impossibly twisted palm suddenly opened and struck toward her.

Basha raised her arm.

Pfft, bang!

The intense twisting force instantly wrenched Basha’s right arm around. The next moment, it exploded. Bai Cangshu’s Immortal Art: Rakshasa Palm continued without losing momentum, striking the woman squarely in the chest.

Basha spun through the air and flew backward.

Light flashed in Bai Cangshu’s left hand, and a revolver appeared. Without even aiming, he raised it and fired.

Bang bang bang!

Three shots in a row.

"Roar!"

Amid a terrifying roar, a tall figure suddenly crashed through the ceiling below and instantly shielded the woman.

All three bullets struck the figure in the face without deviating in the slightest.

But the towering werewolf merely tore at his face with one hand, and the bloody flesh containing the bullets dropped to the floor.

Youjiu had arrived.

Only then had Li De just pulled himself free from the cursed spirit he had completely corroded. Although Bai Cangshu and Basha had both used one method after another, from the moment Basha fired her first shot to the moment Bai Cangshu shattered her right arm with one palm, less than half a minute had passed.

"Werewolf… Youjiu…"

Seeing the iconic giant werewolf, Li De instantly realized that the pair before him were both core members of Fifth Element.

He revealed a smile uglier than crying.

"How wonderful… to meet you. How wonderful… ah!"

Amid a piercing roar, black cursed energy instantly boiled.
