Time Zero

The instant she pressed the launch button, Amber Throat had already lost the ability to judge. Her pupils shrank to pinpoints, and like a startled cat, she instinctively lashed out with every attack at her disposal.

Bai Cangshu’s right hand likewise turned pitch-black. Muscle bulged inch by inch, and the veins in his arm seemed like black serpents surfacing beneath his skin.

As he exerted force, a terrifying sound rose up, like heavy machinery starting its engine.

President Jin, high in the air, suddenly felt a monstrous force travel through the arm enlarged by his spiritual art. Then his arm was violently flung to one side.

Boom!

A terrible explosion erupted across his arm in an instant, and searing heat burst forth.

"Aah!"

President Jin cried out miserably as his ability deactivated on its own. Clutching his arm, he fell from the sky. On the ground, Amber Throat had never expected her invisible attack to have been seen through. The shoulder cannon that came with her Predator gear had long since been damaged, so she had only been able to have someone modify a small missile identical to Iron Man’s.

This ammunition had excellent incendiary power, but because President Jin’s huge arm had suddenly been flung toward her, the missile exploded less than three meters in front of her.

The heat and shockwave sent her flying instantly.

The searing pain restored her calm in midair. She twisted her body and curled up as much as possible, exposing less skin to the flames.

Fuck!

At that moment, she felt as though the world had slowed down. She had finally overcome her fear of Mercenary Tao. She had always been crazy, and now, wounded and in pain, her crazed nature had surfaced, allowing her to overcome that fear.

"Mercenary Tao, you…"

Bzz!

Pfft!

A golden beam suddenly pierced through the woman spinning in the air as she tried to land, and her invisibility immediately vanished.

Her corpse slammed onto the ground with a bang, warm blood rapidly spilling out.

On the other side, President Jin, who was falling from the sky, was struck in an instant by a streak of emerald sword light and split into two halves in midair.

When the man crashed to the ground, he had yet to realize he had been cut in half at the waist. He merely tried to flee, only to find that he could not move.

Then he turned and saw his severed waist and his intestines spilled all over the ground. Tears and snot streamed down his face.

"No, no, no, no… I haven’t earned enough for her medical bills yet. I can’t die, I can’t…"

President Jin reached out, spiritual light flaring up as he tried to stuff his intestines back in. But the next moment, a speeding figure flashed past him.

The world instantly turned upside down. Through his tear-blurred eyes, the last thing he saw was that woman’s merciless gaze, along with the sound of applause farther away.

"Mom…"

Gathering member FV28814477 (President Jin) has died

Xu Zhiyu saw the two notifications of his members’ deaths, yet he showed no displeasure. One hand covered his forehead, where blood was flowing.

Under the effect of Efficiency, both Bai Cangshu and Xu Zhiyu had strength exceeding one hundred points. The terrifying force of their collision was like a missile exploding between them.

Bai Cangshu’s loose T-shirt was torn apart as well, exposing a body covered in dragon scales.

Radiant Flame burned across Xu Zhiyu’s body, but he seemed unable to feel pain and did not dispel it. Like Bai Cangshu, he believed that pain could bring pleasure.

This burning pain delighted him!

Blood red vapor continuously rose from Xu Zhiyu’s entire body. It was blood vapor produced by the high-speed circulation of blood and the resulting heat.

His pupils had already turned into golden vertical slits, though his face remained unchanged.

He was still smiling. After Mercenary Tao’s arm had swelled, their strength was nearly equal.

"Very good, very good, Mr. Bai. We Great Sin Reincarnators should possess this kind of crushing power…"

"But strength alone won’t do."

Xu Zhiyu was like a chatterbox. He raised his left hand, the nails on that arm exceptionally sharp, like several daggers.

A force like a force field spread out from his body, enveloping the entire interior of the barrier in an instant.

The world seemed frozen in his eyes.

His gaze shifted to the side, where Li Qingzi was rushing toward him with her sword drawn.

Even the contraction of Mercenary Tao’s eyes seemed to be in slow motion.

This was a world that belonged entirely to him.

With a swipe of Xu Zhiyu’s finger, a layer of tough dragon scales shattered beneath his dragon claw. As his nail slit through Mercenary Tao’s windpipe and muscle, it felt as though he were cutting leather.

Mercenary Tao’s physical strength far surpassed that of an ordinary human, but unfortunately, his Dragon Transformation had reached a level where his sanity should long ago have been eroded.

His body was already extremely close to that of a true dragon.

After cutting open Mercenary Tao’s windpipe and forcefully breaking free from his restraint, he turned around with interest to watch the female swordswoman who, even in this seemingly frozen world, still moved as she rushed toward him at a speed far beyond that of ordinary Reincarnators.

Then he swayed as he hummed an unfamiliar tune, walking toward Li Qingzi just as emerald sword light rose from her saber.

The air was sliced apart. Xu Zhiyu sidestepped past it, extending his left hand as he went. The nail of his index finger once again swept across the woman’s throat.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Xu Zhiyu walked several steps forward, spread his arms, then turned back to admire the two fountains of blood erupting behind him.

Li Qingzi staggered forward several steps. Before the discomfort of her missed slash had even faded, blood sprayed from her neck.

She instinctively clutched her throat and saw Bai Cangshu ahead of her, blood likewise spraying from his throat.

So fast. How could he be this fast?!

Li Qingzi’s pupils shook. Xu Zhiyu’s strength far exceeded her expectations.

His speed was so great that even her godspeed could not react.

Xu Zhiyu took a deep breath, his face twisting with delight.

"I knew you wouldn’t be killed so easily, Mr. Bai… How wonderful."

"Now it’s just the two of us here. I hope you don’t mind that I killed this woman, after all…"

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Several more wounds appeared across Li Qingzi’s back. She began to topple forward. Xu Zhiyu had somehow appeared behind her.

Bai Cangshu wiped his fingertips across his neck, and the long, narrow wound had already healed. He sniffed the scent of his own blood before looking at Xu Zhiyu, who stood behind the slowly falling Li Qingzi.

Xu Zhiyu watched Li Qingzi’s fall, even that movement so slow. How had he ever thought to seek such a weakling as a companion?

He suddenly felt disgusted with himself. His arm rose again, claws digging toward Li Qingzi’s heart.

Boom!

Thunder seemed to explode suddenly within the frozen world.

Xu Zhiyu turned his head and saw a cloud of white smoke burst out from where Mercenary Tao had just been standing. The next moment, the arm he had thrust down was once again caught by a hand.

Xu Zhiyu turned and met a pair of eyes opened so wide that he could see every detail within their pupils.

"In a sense, we really are fated."

Bai Cangshu’s hair drifted backward without wind. He stood in place, but his body seemed to tremble constantly, as though remaining still was already difficult to control.

He lowered his head and stared into Xu Zhiyu’s eyes, gripping the other man’s arm tightly with his left hand. The seal on his ear had been removed at some point.

Now, the dark purple Satsui no Hado could no longer be suppressed, surging violently against Xu Zhiyu at point-blank range.

"Hey, Xu Zhiyu, let’s see whether Time Zero or Instant is faster~"

The next moment, within the nearly frozen world, Xu Zhiyu saw Mercenary Tao raise his right hand. His index finger turned black as he violently jabbed it toward Xu Zhiyu’s chest.

Xu Zhiyu grinned as well. His base Agility also exceeded sixty points, and with Lightning Flash’s 1.8 Efficiency conversion, his speed had likewise reached the extreme.

Combined with his enhanced Time Zero, almost no one could be faster than him.

Xu Zhiyu raised his hand and stabbed toward Mercenary Tao’s chest.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!

The next moment, his vision went blank. Countless finger shadows erupted in an instant. Just as his finger pierced Mercenary Tao’s chest, he had already been struck four times in rapid succession.
