The gap between the offense and defense finally narrowed.
The Evil Fallen from Huangquan Island and Black Gold Island, not to ntion their generals, even just a mber of the attacking army was far stronger than the experts of the Investigation Corps at the third and fifth ranks.
But with the Xie Family’s technology, they too possessed the power to fight these monsters.
Still, if not for the extraordinary actions of a few powerful beings to turn the tide of battle, Baichuan City remained incapable of confronting the vast army of Evil Fallen.
Bai Wu began to join the fight.
His bronze axe swung through the air, and constantly, filthy evil spirits were slain by his side.
Many captains of the Inspection Corps witnessed this scene, realizing that this guy, who had only recently joined the Corps, had already surpassed them so much in strength!
Bai Wu’s moves didn’t look particularly difficult, but they excelled in precision.
The bronze axe in his hand continued to spin, reaping the evil spirits that intercepted him along the way.
His target was the Judge. The Judge could control souls, a terrifying threat on a battlefield where death was frequent.
Without Lin Rui, the bodies couldn’t be transported in ti to the eastern campus for revival, and the Requiem was bound to take control of their souls first.
Only by slaying the Judge could their odds of winning increase by another fraction.
But getting close to the Judge was a considerably troubleso matter, especially since the Judge was a Semi-Evil Fallen, and no one really knew how strong he actually was.
And the mont Bai Wu made his appearance, the Judge’s target was Bai Wu, and Bai Wu’s target was also the Judge.
The Nether River in the sky cracked, and the evil spirits in the form of great Evil Fallen like the Ice Crystal Bird, Toad, and Centipede began attacking Bai Wu.
Bai Wu also knew that anyone who died here could potentially beco a puppet of the Huangquan Island Master.
But he wasn’t in a hurry. As the three top-tier Evil Fallen got closer to Bai Wu, their speed grew slower and slower!
Web Domain. A powerful binding ability from Zhao Xingkong.
The strength of the three top-tier Evil Fallen could overwhelm Bai Wu, but once they got too close to him, it was Bai Wu who suppressed them!
And around the three evil spirits, Bai Wu’s silhouette appeared. At this instant, even the Judge was sowhat bewildered.
This was an ability from the Elevator Supernatural Tale, the Evil Thought Clone.
The real Bai Wu touched the ground with his hand, feeling the city beneath him.
The Judge’s three generals were distracted by the clones, and he quickly realized that Bai Wu seed to have many more abilities than when he was in the prison.
How long has it been? How could this human have improved so much?
Up until now, Bai Wu had not used the Angel Envoy, only the power of the Angel Envoy and the door to the Inner World were beyond his reach; he had to defeat the Judge without resorting to these two cards.
The next instant, the collapsed buildings behind the Judge seed to co to life!
Innurable boulders, as if they had their own will, began to careen through the space, scattering stones that pierced many evil spirits’ bodies.
The Judge couldn’t understand. What ability was this?
Undead Puppet Skill, from the power of the Living Puppet Guardian Spirit.
At this mont, Bai Wu was surrounded by several Guardian Spirits, but only he could feel them.
These Guardian Spirits were frightened. People Trafficker Woman, Living Puppet, Elevator Murderer, Spider Woman Xingkong, and the Television Woman.
The main characters from the Supernatural Tale Apartnt, how could they know the outside world was so terrifying?
The density of these monsters was much greater than that of the apartnt! Now they just wanted to return to the apartnt, but alas, they couldn’t.
If they had known, they definitely wouldn’t have agreed to beco Bai Wu’s Guardian Spirits. At this mont, all they hoped was that Bai Wu was strong enough not to die too soon.
One after another, the Evil Fallen by the Judge’s side fell, while Bai Wu also used the Undead Puppet Skill to carve a path for himself. This power to change and blend into the environnt allowed him to finally find a breakthrough to confront the Judge directly.
The Judge also realized that he might have to personally deal with this human.
Bai Wu was like an unstoppable tyrant, slaying his way through, employing no tactics, not taking advantage of any favorable tis or terrain. He’d simply forged a path to the Judge’s side through his sheer strength.
Without Jing Wu, the Judge beca the master of the Huangquan Great Army, the command tower of the entire invading force.
And Bai Wu was the sa, the overall commander of the shelter force.
When the leaders of both sides finally drew close to each other, neither seed to have any supporting generals at their backs. And as Bai Wu continued to employ the Undead Puppet Skill, a barrier made of collapsed building materials even began to stack around them.
It was as if an arena for a duel to the death had been erected for the two of them.
In the midst of this chaotic battlefield, the two unexpectedly found an opportunity for a one-on-one confrontation.
The Judge stopped playing his flute and calmly watched Bai Wu:
"I will grant humans the right to pursue death, but you won’t get that right. You will beco a slave to Huangquan Island, a ghost forever driven by ."
"I have a question for you, is the Tomb Guardian dead?" Bai Wu asked.
"He was nothing but a clone of mine. Only if I allowed him to live, could he exist. After devouring him, I also obtained his mory. In a sense, I have saved you."
That statent was sowhat baffling. But Bai Wu understood.
The Tomb Guardian had granted the mask another one-ti ability.
This ability was to prevent his own death. And so, he had that grand encounter during his fight with Zhong Xu.
But now, the Tomb Guardian was gone.
"You and my friend are of completely different types. As a Semi-Evil Fallen, you devoured the only humanity you had. I really wish the Tomb Guardian was the main body. But this way is also better, when I kill you, I’ll have no burdens left."
"Do you think you can kill , a being with the Power of Life and Death? Even the great one trapped over there can’t do that."
This piece of information was of great concern to Bai Wu; it seed that the power of the judge was indeed a capability equivalent to Lin Rui’s temporal power.
All these puzzles might only be solved on the flight.
But being unkillable doesn’t an unbeatable. Every power has its limits, and if the judge were truly invincible, he wouldn’t have been defeated at Shudu Prison.
The Power of Life and Death, after all, he had only grasped the basics. It was the person protected by the mummy on the death flight who was the true master of it all.
However, Bai Wu was very clear that he couldn’t defeat the judge.
He raised the bronze axe, adopting an attacking stance.
The judge was very composed.
Having acquired the mories of the Tomb Guardian, he knew that Bai Wu had so exceptionally keen judgnt.
This judgnt helped Bai Wu stand out in the many gas of Huangquan Island.
But it was aningless; it wouldn’t change the huge gap in strength between the two.
Bai Wu hadn’t thought about using his trump card against the judge because the judge might flee, and also because the strongest enemy had yet to appear.
He was just waiting. The judge was strong, but not unbeatable.
As long as a certain person appeared, by working together, he was confident they could defeat the judge in a short ti.
...
...
In the outskirts of Baichuan City,
Yan Zizai did not imdiately provide assistance to Bai Wu after arriving in Baichuan City.
He made a brief appearance among the crowd and, seeing that Wu Jiu had already supported Bai Wu, Yan Zizai then headed in the opposite direction of the battlefield.
As the holder of the conch, he now had to save Yan Jiu.
From the mont the Clown died, Yan Jiu had been consistently calling out for Yan Zizai through the conch.
On the way, Yan Zizai crazily transposed any living thing that could be transposed, and ultimately arrived at Yan Jiu’s side in an extrely short amount of ti.
At the mont Yan Zizai’s figure appeared in the night, Yan Jiu exclaid excitedly,
"Uncle! You finally ca!"
The girl had never longed to be saved by soone so much.
Looking at the tearful Yan Jiu, Yan Zizai also felt great pity for her.
"Don’t cry, don’t be afraid, I’ll save her first."
Yan Zizai had heard the explanation from Yan Jiu inside the conch about the ability to resurrect in the Eastern Campus.
But he wasn’t sure if the Clown, whose body was already decayed, could still be resurrected by that area.
He could even feel that with a little force, the Clown’s body would crumble.
The evening wind was bleak, and the darkness before dawn was the most intense.
Yan Zizai took off his cloak, draped it over Yan Jiu, and activated the Return Roulette.
"The Qin Family and Yan Family have been notified, and your father and brother will be there to et you. Your friends are waiting for you too."
"I... I don’t like them, and I don’t like High Tower..."
"Listen, at least for now, they won’t despise you, they dare not despise you, and they can’t despise you. I’m not telling you to go back to High Tower, it’s just that with you here, Bai Wu and I cannot fight with peace of mind."
Yan Jiu actually knew so things too, through the conch.
It was hard to imagine that her uncle had beco the true Family Head of the Yan Family, and her wedding... had actually triggered so many major events.
"Uncle, Bai Wu won’t be in trouble, right?"
"He won’t."
"Okay... I’ll listen to you, Uncle, and also be careful yourself..."
Yan Zizai always felt that every farewell, whether Bai Wu was present or not, he was the incidental one.
As if after ntioning Bai Wu, he was just an afterthought. Yan Zizai even felt that if Bai Wu weren’t ntioned, his role as the uncle would be inadvertently stripped of value.
Girls are outgoing, so be it. Yan Zizai didn’t care anymore.
Once the Return Roulette was activated and Yan Jiu disappeared, Yan Zizai, carrying the Clown’s body, began to shuttle incessantly.
Minutes later, he returned to Baichuan Middle School. On Academy Street outside the school gates, the Investigation Corps and the forr guardians of Shudu Prison were desperately resisting.
Suppressing his desire to fight, Yan Zizai brought the Clown’s body to the mysterious school building in the Eastern Campus.
In Yan Zizai’s view, the Clown’s body was already a bit too late, and perhaps the Eastern Campus couldn’t revive him at all.
After settling the Clown, many breaths lingered in Yan Zizai’s mind; Bipolar Transposition required sensing the opponent.
This made Yan Zizai’s spiritual power incredibly strong. As a rank nine Innate Force user, he was one of the few superhumans who could directly confront top-tier Evil Fallen.
Soon, Yan Zizai locked onto Bai Wu’s location.
The next second, Yan Zizai disappeared.
A mber of the Investigation Corps, baffled, found himself in the Eastern Campus.
He was the main force of Squad Four, possessing a rank four tier four Innate Force, and was quite strong.
But even with the Xie Family’s weapon equipnt, against the Huangquan Great Army that outnumbered and overpowered him, he nearly died.
The crazed evil spirits had nearly devoured him, and as he teetered on the brink of life and death...
He returned to the eastern campus, narrowly escaping from death.
And on the battlefield, Yan Zizai appeared where the team mber had been.
The hunters who a split second earlier had been planning to tear their prey apart, beca prey themselves in the blink of an eye.
Just monts later, the aura bursting forth from Yan Zizai was so formidable that the surrounding Huangquan Great Army dared not approach.
Among the reinforcents from humanity, all those originally from Shudu Prison noticed that the deanor of two people... stood in stark contrast to the rest.
One was Yan Zizai, the other was Wu Jiu, who was furiously suppressing the Six-Arm Knife-wielder.
Only these two seed to have transcended others, stepping into another realm.
In the nearby rock enclosure, Bai Wu and the judge were engaged in a one-on-one battle.
Yan Zizai said in a low voice,
"Since it’s a war, there’s no point talking about fairness."
As his voice fell, Bai Wu, engulfed in the atmosphere of the Underworld, vanished instantly, and what appeared in front of the judge was an Evil Fallen from Black Gold Island.
In an extrely brief mont, Yan Zizai initiated Bipolar Transposition twice in succession.
Bai Wu had thought he’d suffer so injuries, but unexpectedly he found himself beside Yan Zizai.
This ability was indeed too powerful, Bai Wu thought with renewed astonishnt.
"Did I handle things efficiently enough?" Yan Zizai said with a smile.
Bai Wu had to admit, the Yan Family’s genes were powerful; this man’s smile made the night seem less dark.
"Barely adequate."
"That’s not sincere enough, and I could refuse to help."
Though he spoke those words, Yan Zizai had already leapt forward before he finished speaking, arriving in front of the judge.
Bai Wu followed right behind.
The judge furrowed his brow, suddenly feeling he’d been played.
From the beginning, he had the impression Bai Wu would face him alone.
But now it seed... he had overestimated the human’s morality and underestimated his cunning.
"It’s you, the Yan Family’s castaway from the prison."
Yan Zizai, Bai Wu, and the judge were standing in a triangular formation.
Yan Zizai said,
"I’ve really been ’well taken care of’ during my days in prison. Today, at last, I can express my gratitude. It’s just a sha that the doctor isn’t here."
"Arrogant humans. Without that Masked Man, what can you two possibly do?"
Bai Wu actually hoped the judge did see him and Yan Zizai just like that.
Indeed, Lin Rui was overwhelmingly powerful, but on this battlefield, Yan Zizai was nearly invincible.
Yan Zizai said,
"Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" Bai Wu feigned ignorance.
The judge was also puzzled.
At this mont, Prayle’s Eye already had the bond with Yan Zizai’s Eye of the Scales and the Eye of Insight. Both were supersensory beings capable of glimpsing the brief future.
"Of course, it’s..."
Yan Zizai vanished, and before doing so, Bai Wu swung his bronze axe toward Yan Zizai!
"Kill him!"
The judge, who had been cautious to maintain a distance from Bai Wu, aware of the apparent speed reduction near him, had still let his guard down.
Before Yan Zizai could finish his sentence, the two humans’ assault had already been unleashed, it even ca to an end!
The judge suddenly found himself standing where Yan Zizai had been, and as he attempted to defend, Bai Wu appeared at his side!
The Web Domain was activated!
Suddenly the judge felt his body beco extrely heavy.
And Bai Wu’s axe was already slashing toward him! Simultaneously, Yan Zizai’s hand-knife struck from behind!
Two potentially fatal strikes hit the judge at the sa ti!
The judge realized in horror that the power behind the two humans was terrifying; his body was blasted into the air by the powerful force, unable to move!
Without even looking at each other, in both their visions Bai Wu attacked guided by the direct future given by Prayle’s Eye, while Yan Zizai selected the optimal solution from the many possibilities of the future presented by the Eye of the Scales!
Although their thods of perceiving the future differed, the future they saw — was the sa!
A terrifying human duo was born. Their attacks, fast and furious, rained down on the judge relentlessly.
Countless axe and fist shadows surrounded the judge, rendering his every strategy useless at that mont!
He was like a ball being continuously kicked back and forth by two people, tracing dozens, even hundreds of straight trajectories in the air!
Everything changed because of the overwhelming force! The dense sounds of axe chopping and fist pounding were like a downpour beating upon the earth!
There were no defensive asures!
Every move of the judge was within the grasp of the Eye of the Scales and Prayle’s Eye, the masters of the two Sequences could always decipher and counter the judge’s techniques before he could make a change!
"Impossible... it’s just one more person... Why does it seem like even Bai Wu’s strength has... greatly increased?"
This doubt erged in the judge’s mind, but he no longer had the chance to find the answer.
The terror of the duo’s consecutive blows began to shatter his body gradually, his vitality continuously waning.
The rchant, blacksmith, Six-Arm Knife-wielder, Dandelion, and the Evil Fallen all tacitly turned their gaze towards this battlefield at that mont.
They found it hard to believe that the judge, when facing two humans, would be so overwhelmingly suppressed!
Is this what humans are?
Have humans beco this powerful?
The strength of the Huangquan Island Master was naturally known to all the Evil Fallen.
All the Evil Fallen wanted to assist the judge, but they were tied down by the forces at the sanctuary.
Only Dandelion looked at Bai Wu with complexity.
The last ti he saw Bai Wu was half a year ago when this guy was still quite weak, right?
The mbers of the Investigation Corps were also flabbergasted; in the sky, the judge’s body kept changing positions, the two figures punching him in the ferocious winds and torrential rain left the onlookers in stunned silence!
"These two people... are so strong!" Wang Shi exclaid.
ng Yuan said,
"Why do all the good seedlings belong to their Seventh Squad?"
Feng Zhan said,
"We need to bring out our true skills too... We can’t let our whole Legion’s achievents be surpassed by the Seventh Squad!"
"Investigation Corps, charge!"
"Charge!"
The overwhelming victory in the commander’s duel filled everyone with fervor!
Wu Jiu silently deflected the Six-Arm Knife-wielder’s blades and glanced over at Bai Wu, revealing a smile.
"These two have really high compatibility... I cannot fall behind either."
The Six-Arm Knife-wielder, currently facing Wu Jiu, was Jing Wu’s new Guardian, but was not as strong as the forr Guardian, Destruction.
During their ti in chanical City, Wu Jiu killed Destruction, and killing Jing Wu’s new Guardian, in his view, was just basic for the Investigation Corps.
The Six-Arm Knife-wielder was formidable, and the Six-Blade Style provided Wu Jiu with many insights.
But before long, Wu Jiu fully grasped the opponent’s attacks, transforming these insights completely into his own.
He was a true combat prodigy, his talent ranking among the very top in the seven hundred year history of High Tower.
The Six-Arm Knife-wielder had been suppressing Wu Jiu until then and thought this human was strong but rely managing to hold on.
But very soon... the knife-wielder noticed sothing wrong.
This little guy’s speed was getting faster...
This shorty’s strength was also growing stronger...
As the battle continued, it was shocked to discover that this human was blocking its moves more and more exquisitely!
Then... Wu Jiu’s speed could no longer simply be described as fast; the Six-Arm Knife-wielder couldn’t believe it, the human seed to ignore spatial distance, able to appear instantaneously at many positions.
Its own Six-Blade Style... seed to be facing an even vaster Hundred-Blade Style!
Since when did humans possess the power that even the Evil Fallen feared?
The Six-Arm Knife-wielder actually felt fear! In the end, it lay on the ground looking up at Wu Jiu.
Little guy, shorty, human.
The pressure Wu Jiu brought to the knife-wielder increased continuously, and at this mont, as it lay on its back looking at the knife Wu Jiu held to its throat, it seed to see a giant monster.
"There are many more I need to kill, if you have any last words, say them in hell!"
The blade plunged down! The Six-Arm Knife-wielder’s eyes were filled with fear and unwillingness as it died.
The duel between the aces concluded, the strongest of the Investigation Corps erged victorious.
Wu Jiu cleanly sheathed his blade and began selecting his next opponent.
On the other side of the battlefield, Bai Wu and Yan Zizai pushed the judge to the limit.
The judge could even feel that if he didn’t use the Power of Life and Death... he would be killed humiliatingly by the two humans! There was no warm-up, no fierce battle or turning the tables...
From the mont Yan Zizai joined the battle, the judge found he had no chance to resist at all!
He finally realized sothing... it wasn’t these two humans who were arrogant, it was himself...
Facing either Bai Wu or Yan Zizai alone, in the judge’s view, would be an easy task.
But these two seed to have so kind of chemical reaction!
The alliance of Bai Wu and Yan Zizai brought a destructive threat to Huangquan Island!
