Chapter 543: Experts Emerge Frequently, The True Alliance to Kill Mercenary Tao
In the countless scenes surrounded by flames, Wei Yixiao clearly saw Mercenary Tao kill one human after another. There were Reincarnators with clown makeup, South Asian soldiers with live ammunition, and various story characters from mission worlds...
Mercenary Tao was killing almost all the time. Everything he did was to slaughter in various grandiose ways.
One completely couldn't see any respect and pity for life in this person.
"You, are guilty!"
Wei Yixiao delivered the judgment. His hands exerted force, and the Hellfire in his body leaped out from his eye sockets, about to completely incinerate Mercenary Tao's soul.
But in the next moment, the blue flames on Mercenary Tao's body surface seemed to be blocked by an invisible protection, completely unable to penetrate.
Mercenary Tao's black long hair danced in the surrounding flames, actually completely unharmed!
Wei Yixiao looked at Mercenary Tao. The other party actually completely lacked any sense of guilt from the bottom of his heart. Despite killing so many people, Mercenary Tao didn't even have a single shred of guilt!
This kind of guy... this kind of thing, could no longer be called [Human].
And the smile on the corners of Mercenary Tao's mouth grew increasingly mocking.
"See, Wei Yixiao, you cannot judge me."
Mercenary Tao's voice came from the flames, frivolous and arrogant.
Power so strong it couldn't be resisted emerged from the fascia on the other party's shoulders. Wei Yixiao watched helplessly as his hands, which had gripped into the other party's muscles, were squeezed out bit by bit.
Moreover, accompanied by the imbalance of force, an intense spiraling force radiated from the other party's body surface. In the next moment, accompanied by a dizzying sensation, Wei Yixiao was directly sent flying.
His whole person spun in the air, flying out dozens of meters and crashing into the side wall of a building that had already turned pitch-black.
Only at this moment did he see clearly that Mercenary Tao's body surface was always wrapped in a layer of force, like a twisted force field.
Kaito Shirogane spread his hands and slowly lifted them to his chest in front of him.
He had seized unimaginable benefits from the [Swirl of the Root] that other Reincarnators couldn't even fathom.
[Cloud-Dispersing Palm Lv9], [Heavenly Frost Fist Lv9], [Wind God Kick Lv9]
The Three Ultimate Martial Arts were deduced to the extreme by him. Not only did it make his [Martial Arts Specialization] reach the peak of technique at Lv9 without any external force blessing, but it also let him, without the blessing of energy like internal force,
Directly master the [Three Parts Divine Finger], and fuse the [Formless Cloud Force], [Heavenly Frost Force], and [Divine Wind Force] into the [Three Parts Returning Origin Force].
This kind of thoroughly fused and arbitrary force covered his whole body, forming a round and twisted force field.
[Three Parts Returning Origin Force (Special Force) - The force possesses the characteristics of penetration, destruction, and breaking through forces. Thoroughly fused and arbitrary, any attack will be reduced, deflected, and resisted]
The power of this force far exceeded Kaito Shirogane's previous force exertion relying on his own powerful physical strength and martial arts techniques, possessing multiple characteristics.
And it combined offense and defense. Even if Kaito Shirogane didn't perform any defense, an enemy's incoming attack would be blocked.
In Kaito Shirogane's view, this could be called a low-profile version of the Limitless Cursed Technique's effect. Of course, this was only under the current intensity of Kaito Shirogane's force.
When his force truly became terrifying to the extreme, this kind of defense could similarly make it difficult for most enemies to break through.
Kaito Shirogane lightly tapped his feet. Before his toes even touched the ground, the Three Parts Returning Origin Force had already touched the ground, and the force erupted instantly.
Fusing the speed of the Divine Wind Force from the Wind God Kick, Kaito Shirogane's figure seemed to freeze for an instant. In the next moment, the pupils of a female Reincarnator who was stopping to watch trembled.
Black hair danced wildly, and the clear [Kill] character on the pink robe had already appeared before her eyes.
The woman was codenamed [Azi], but her hair was blood-red. She had two short knives with light purple scabbards slung diagonally across her back.
The sword hilts faced down. At this time, after the woman's pupils trembled, before fear could dissipate from her pupils, her hands had instinctively dropped down.
Hum~
The two short knives emitted a clear and pleasant sword hum. At the same time, on the woman's wheat-colored physical body, the meridians instantly bulged completely, and her muscles erupted piece by piece, instantly destroying the woman's exquisite dress.
Light blue magical energy instantly rippled outwards from her body surface.
[Ittou Shura]!
Her aura and sense of existence skyrocketed from an inconspicuous level in an instant. The instant she grasped the twin swords, bloodshot veins seemed to condense from the periphery of her pupils towards the center in her eyes.
Hum!
A sword hum erupted, like a bladestorm appearing instantly. Intense sword Qi exploded like a lotus flower.
The surrounding walls, ground, and shops were instantly cut with hundreds of incisions like tofu.
Azi's pupils dilated. Her swords hit empty space, and Mercenary Tao disappeared into thin air before her eyes.
She shifted her gaze and saw another blonde man four hundred meters away from her fall backward.
Mercenary Tao flicked his index finger, and blood splattered on the wall.
He went to kill someone else, why...
In the next moment, Azi finally felt her chest go cold. She looked down, where an incision from her neck to her waist had long been sliced open.
I was cut?!
When... what sword did he use...
Azi's consciousness began to blur, and she couldn't see clearly the information on the Space panel she brought up.
Forget it... that is already... meaningless.
As she fell downward, Mercenary Tao's clear voice seemed to come by her ear. That voice went straight deep into her mind, as if it would follow her death all the way into the underworld.
"It's a pity, that [Heart] is still not intense enough."
Bang!
Azi fell to the ground with a thud, blood blooming like a flower. The surrounding houses and blocks she cut open seemed to be annotating the end of her life at this time.
Mahakala quietly watched this scene. Several figures had already arrived behind him, everyone with a stern expression.
In just a few breaths of time, the newly promoted fierce person [Bingou], [Kingsley], [Azi], and the [Great Demon] who absolutely possessed Title-level strength, as well as that remnant of the Fifth Element, were actually all overwhelmingly defeated.
A power field so strong it made people appalled enveloped the entire field.
That wasn't Conqueror's Haki or Satsui no Hadou. Mercenary Tao didn't do anything; he merely stood there.
Yet it made these Title-level Reincarnators of the End Empire feel intense oppression, to the point that they no longer dared to watch the battle from high above.
Instead, they all gathered behind Mahakala.
Someone said in a low voice:
"Is that the [True Magic] Mercenary Tao obtained from the [Root]? How could it be so powerful..."
The others also used their own methods, some using mental power to perceive, some using ocular jutsu to observe.
But Mahakala raised his hand to stop everyone. His petite figure seemed to grow a bit in this instant, already having the height of a ten-year-old child.
"True Magic... Heh, he hasn't even used any special abilities yet, let alone [True Magic]."
Everyone knew that the [True Magic] of the Type-Moon world was different from magic like Fireball spells in other worlds. They fundamentally didn't believe before that an ordinary Reincarnator could successfully return from the [Swirl of the Root].
Let alone any [Five True Magics]. That kind of ability exceeded the boundaries of their cognition.
Only Mahakala knew that among the current Reincarnators, the people who could master that level of power absolutely didn't exceed 10!
Even the Eminences couldn't possibly all have that level of power.
His expression was serious, putting his palms together. Within that huge magic circle previously severed by Mercenary Tao using a Reincarnator's corpse, the flames raged again.
The pitch-black flames didn't have much temperature, but flowed with an extremely terrifying "aura." Just gazing at it for a long time was enough to make an ordinary person with a Spirit attribute below 10 die from mental derangement.
Even for Reincarnators, being illuminated by this kind of flame for a long time would also affect their minds.
Therefore, it wasn't that His Eminence was unwilling to bestow this terrifying ability to lower-ranked followers, but that those guys completely couldn't handle it.
Holding this [End Dark Flame] for more than a certain amount of time would cause them to suffer erosion.
And he was the only Reincarnator besides His Eminence who could be immune to that erosion.
He was the only Reincarnator in the Space besides the [End of the Great Sun] who could control this dangerous flame.
Mahakala took a step towards Mercenary Tao, his figure growing as he moved. At this time, he had already reached the body type of a teenager.
Mercenary Tao remained unmoved. From the corner of his eye, he saw those dark blue Hellfires begin to crawl onto that emaciated old man with graying temples, to whom he had deliberately left a thread of vitality.
The other party's strength was not bad. That move where demonic Qi erupted made Kaito Shirogane believe he could erupt with destructive power of the [Fierce] tier.
In the battle, Kaito Shirogane deliberately kept the lives of a few people. These few people were now all in their respective positions, either healing themselves or preparing some abilities and trump cards.
But... it still wasn't enough.
That kind of soul pulsation was still not obvious enough. That kind of burning of the [Heart] was still far from enough!
Kaito Shirogane looked at these surviving people and decided to kill half of them again. In this way, under his pressure, there would probably be very few people who would once again display that kind of [Radiance of the Heart and Pulsation of the Soul] that intoxicated him~
Kaito Shirogane lowered his eyelids, but raised his head, examining every living guy with a reckless expression, finally resting on that Wei Yixiao.
He could feel it, he could see it!
That heart within this young man's body was burning fiercely. Perhaps with just a little more stimulation, it could bloom into a stunningly beautiful scene.
Wei Yixiao, who was trying to "resurrect" the [Great Demon] using the dark blue flames, suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He felt a wave of malice.
"Yixiao..."
Mixed with fear, trembling, and even a hint of crying, Jia Su's voice reached Wei Yixiao's ears.
Wei Yixiao abruptly turned around, only to see that Mercenary Tao had already appeared in front of Jia Su, his finger pointing at Jia Su's glabella.
The various bounded fields and protections around Jia Su's body had all shattered.
Because he spent all the team's legacy, Jia Su actually didn't get any resources to purchase powerful abilities or bloodlines.
While he frantically strengthened himself for revenge, he hadn't noticed that Jia Su, who followed behind him, was constantly in danger...
"No..."
The anger in Wei Yixiao's pupils dissipated, leaving only endless fear and regret.
Jia Su was a good-natured person. Although he hadn't joined the Fifth Element for long, when Boss Kai ultimately handed the team to him, Jia Su didn't leave, but instead always took care of him.
Is this last team companion also going to be taken away by Mercenary Tao...
"No, no no no!"
The flames in Wei Yixiao's pupils swayed violently, almost burning that bare skull.
Kaito Shirogane watched the violently dancing flames, the smile on the corners of his mouth growing increasingly obvious.
He could feel that the thing he wanted to see was about to appear...
Hum~
As intense Qi spiraled, two figures instantly appeared by Kaito Shirogane's sides.
One in front, one behind.
The person in front wore a black trench coat and had a ponytail. He grabbed Kaito Shirogane's right arm with one hand.
In an instant, white luster lit up, and scarlet light also similarly lit up on Kaito Shirogane's right hand.
The two powers clashed intensely, and the surrounding force field instantly twisted.
And the person behind Kaito Shirogane, purple-black long hair dancing wildly, with a tall figure, held a long and narrow tachi with a backhand grip horizontally in front of Kaito Shirogane's neck.
Whoosh.
Black flames burned, and Mahakala, whose body had already exceeded two meters, appeared. His whole body looked like cast from gold sand. He looked indifferently at Kaito Shirogane and said:
"Your slaughter ends here, Mercenary Tao."
Sizzle!
In an instant, an airflow so intense it was appalling made a sound as if something was being torn.
The blazing white turbulence directly manifested before everyone's eyes.
The twisted and blurred force field on Mercenary Tao's body surface could also be clearly seen by everyone in this blazing white air turbulence.
The first-in-line follower under the [End of the Great Sun], [Mahakala]!
High-ranking executive of [Death Toll Heaven], top-tier Title-level Reincarnator [The Heaven · Su Qingqiu]!
The new leader of [Black Water] who appeared out of nowhere, [Death Sword · Yi Nian Qingsi] who reverse-slayed two High-tier Title-level Reincarnators!
Jin Yue'an stood up abruptly, and [Mai] also simultaneously teleported to a position dozens of meters behind Mercenary Tao, his expression tense.
None of them had expected that so many top-tier figures would actually come for this besiegement today.
[Mai] completely couldn't even recognize the identities of the two people behind him.
The so-called [Kill Mercenary Alliance] was never avengers like White Mask, Great Demon, or other individuals, but the gathering of the End Empire, Black Water, and [Death Toll Heaven]!
