Chapter 544: Death Sword · Pure White Heaven · Fire of Demise
"Mercenary Tao, I will represent His Eminence and give you one last chance."
"Submit, or... die."
Mahakala's body size increased, and his voice and personality changed synchronously. Previously, he was the image of a sensible young man, but now he already had the oppressive might of a superior.
Hearing this, before Kaito Shirogane could react, the other two were already displeased.
Sensing the intensely twisted force field on Mercenary Tao's body surface, and an aura that seemed to blend into heaven and earth at a glance, Su Qingqiu knew that Mercenary Tao had already pushed his combat specialization to the level of Lv9.
He had become a Grandmaster who fully possessed powerful combat strength even without other special abilities.
What's more, Mercenary Tao was undoubtedly a Scarlet Great Sin Reincarnator; he wouldn't lack too many attribute points. Just based on these two points, Mercenary Tao was already a terrifying physical arts master.
This kind of person, once possessing anti-social or even anti-human tendencies, the harm caused would be incalculable.
Even without the cognitive interference incident of [Ability Users], a top-tier martial artist was enough to accomplish any terrifying incident he wanted to in the real world.
Things like cameras didn't have very good restriction methods against this kind of slaughter master. He had too many means to kill you with what you would think were the means of an ordinary person.
"Mahakala, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Su Qingqiu grabbed Mercenary Tao's arm with one hand. The ability of the [4th Tier Virtue · Pure White Heaven] felt intense resistance. That Scarlet Great Sin tried to gnaw over like a snake.
"Yeah, at a time like this, what nonsense are you spouting, little monk..."
While speaking, the woman standing behind Kaito Shirogane leaned her body forward, her warm and soft, yet cold body pressing close to Kaito Shirogane's back.
Her head also leaned close to Kaito Shirogane's shoulder. When she spoke, Kaito Shirogane could even feel that warm breath touching his neck.
"We have all already made a move. If you and your Eminence still want to take this guy in, how will you settle the score if Su Qingqiu and I face being hunted by this fierce beast in the future..."
"You have to add money, hmm... a lot of money."
Su Qingqiu was originally preparing to nod, but the more he listened, the more wrong it sounded. He turned his head and found that the mysterious [Yi Nian Qingsi] was constantly sizing up Mercenary Tao's face, unconcealed greed in her eyes.
Kaito Shirogane turned his head and saw that the woman behind him had a fair face under dark purple long hair, a high nose bridge, and the expression in her pupils was as if admiring a favored work of art.
But Kaito Shirogane merely glanced at the woman's face, and his gaze focused on that wisp of aura swimming faintly on the woman's body surface.
This seemingly intimate contact from the woman was actually also a display of strength.
At this moment, his whole body was wrapped in the [Three Parts Returning Origin Force], which ordinary firearm bullets couldn't penetrate. This woman's breath being able to touch his ear meant that this woman possessed a special ability to ignore a force field defense like the [Three Parts Returning Origin Force].
The corners of his mouth hooked up, his smile blooming bit by bit.
Mahakala, who was originally preparing to agree to Yi Nian Qingsi's quoted price to first stabilize this temporary alliance, also saw the increasingly obvious smile on Mercenary Tao's lips.
The three people, who originally thought they had grasped the situation, were simultaneously stunned. Su Qingqiu's suppressed anger, Mahakala's arrogance, and Yi Nian Qingsi's lust all disappeared simultaneously.
A faint sense of crisis, like a snake hiding in the darkness, began to swim silently beside the few people.
Mahakala no longer hesitated. Since they chose three against one, they naturally had to practically take down the other party. The last bit of thirst for this rare talent was also completely abandoned.
White light shone brightly from Su Qingqiu's right hand. In an instant, it was like light descending upon the mortal world; everyone was unavoidably illuminated by the light.
Yi Nian Qingsi seemed to have anticipated this. She tilted her head back, and a twisted force burst out of thin air. It was precisely the active eruption of the force field on Mercenary Tao's body surface.
She stepped back like a phantom, her speed extremely fast. Her dark purple long hair fluttered, covering Kaito Shirogane's face. That tachi positioned horizontally in front of Kaito Shirogane's neck sliced straight across.
Pfft!
The air made a sound like paper being cut. A silver line appeared. In the next moment, accompanied by Yi Nian Qingsi's tall figure pulling completely away, raising the long sword high with both hands, the momentum of this sword was completely drawn out.
The silver line instantly elongated from the air.
The figure of [Mai] standing behind Kaito Shirogane trembled, and teleportation was immediately activated.
Pfft!
Mai, appearing two hundred meters away, suddenly felt a severe pain in his scalp. He wailed in pain, blood streaming down his face.
Rumble!
A slash mark thousands of meters long directly cut across several city blocks. As buildings collapsed with a boom, the pink figure was stretched to several meters, the speed so fast the figure was distorted.
Right at the instant Yi Nian Qingsi reversed and cut out this terrifying sword slash with the most difficult action to exert force, Mercenary Tao, like a maggot attached to the bone, began to move almost completely in sync with her.
The action, proportion, amplitude, and rhythm of the two taking large steps to shift their center of gravity backward and twisting their bodies had not the slightest difference.
This made that terrifying slash pass through like in a waltz between the two.
Amidst her dancing dark purple long hair, Yi Nian Qingsi's eyes flowed, having already noticed Mercenary Tao's abnormal movements.
Sharingan? Alpha Stigma?
Kaito Shirogane threw a punch. Yi Nian Qingsi's figure danced like a flood dragon. Her perception ability for invisible force was extremely strong. The instant the fist force dissipated, her figure flipped sharply.
The sword momentum erupted in an instant. This sword was probably hundreds of times stronger than the one from the woman using twin swords earlier.
Devastating sword intent erupted. Kaito Shirogane's eyes widened round. His whole person instantly seemed to produce countless phantoms, flashing in different directions.
But looking closely, one would find that he remained in place, completely unmoving.
Pfft pfft pfft pfft...
Amidst the crisscrossing terrifying sword Qi, Mahakala raised his hands, either horizontally or vertically. His dark golden body, accompanied by clanging sounds, blocked the sword Qi.
Su Qingqiu stood in place, raising one hand high, the white light growing increasingly dazzling.
[You suffered the influence of the ability Virtue · Pure White Heaven. All attributes decreased by 35%]
[You stepped into · Pure White Heaven. Speed will be reduced by 35%]
A large number of prompts began to appear. Kaito Shirogane's figure paused, and in an instant, a sword light slashed across his waist.
[You suffered the influence of the ability · Death Sword. Now performing Instant Death check]
[Check passed]
[You are immune to this effect]
[You suffered the influence of the Teigu · One-Cut Killer: Murasame. Now performing check]
[Check passed]
[You are immune to this effect]
In this instant, the few people simultaneously revealed looks of surprise.
Kaito Shirogane was astonished that this Virtue system Reincarnator's ability was quite powerful.
While Yi Nian Qingsi hesitated watching her ability completely produce no effect. Was it good luck or...
Her Title ability [Death Sword] allowed her to consciously turn a certain attack into a terrifying sword slash that ignored any external defense and possessed an instant death effect.
Moreover, the activation of this ability could be after the sword was drawn.
This allowed a great swordsman like her to ensure her strongest sword strike landed on the opponent amidst crisscrossing sword Qi.
Relying on this move, she had once easily killed a defense-specialized High-tier Title-level Reincarnator.
But Mercenary Tao seemed unsurprised by his ability.
Su Qingqiu also frowned. To think Mercenary Tao actually still had this kind of speed and combat power inside his Pure White Heaven.
This guy... is almost impossible to suppress...
"Mahakala, quickly make your move!"
When Su Qingqiu spoke, Mahakala had already raised his right hand high. In the next moment, a pitch-black great sun manifested in the sky. The black clouds were completely evaporated by the great sun in an instant.
Heaven and earth were devoid of light. Under the gloomy sunlight, Kaito Shirogane saw that the Three Parts Returning Origin Force on his body surface actually began to emit white smoke, as if being burned...
