"Oh?"
Bai Cangshu put away the two scarlet drop cards.
Mai instinctively took a step back, his heart still thrumming from the opponent's terrifying speed.
While theoretically, instant movement was the fastest form of movement, the ability's activation required one to react. Against a martial artist whose sheer physical prowess was enough to deceive the eye with high-speed movement, one could never be too careful.
He realized that his words implied he knew the opponent's identity, which in Reincarnators' conversations often represented a threat, so Mai immediately explained.
"I sent you a quote at your stall in the Space, so I saw your number. After you fought me two days ago, I found it was the same number, so…"
"But I didn't tell Boss Jin and the others your identity."
Mai had a harmless appearance; he looked very youthful, with slightly yellow Short Hair, and his body was not robust, merely healthy. However, as an Ability User, his physical strength might not be what it seemed to the naked eye.
Many Ability Users have higher muscle density than ordinary people.
Mai had already given up on the idea of being an enemy after realizing the opponent was the notorious Tao Bai Bai from the Space. The Flame Demon had been killed; for his group to still seek trouble with the opponent would be no different from seeking Death.
Compared to someone like Boss Jin, Mai was more willing to join Tao Bai Bai's ranks.
Rumor had it that the opponent was still a lone wolf. If he could form a team with Tao Bai Bai, the benefits to himself would undoubtedly be immense.
Mai heard that many title-level individuals in the Space were optimistic about Tao Bai Bai; Silent Death was reportedly trying to contact Tao Bai Bai, hoping to bring him under his command.
Bai Cangshu did not tilt his head, observing Mai. His reaction speed, strength, and defense were not too strong; his entire skill set was basically concentrated on that special instant movement ability.
However, among Reincarnators, there was indeed a group with great chance. It was not uncommon for someone to rise rapidly by simply relying on a powerful ability they were lucky enough to acquire.
The ability of instant movement was quite useful at low to medium power levels, but…
Bai Cangshu looked down at his left hand, and then the violent Killing Intent and his disappointment at the weakness of these few Reincarnators erupted simultaneously.
Like a seed, it suddenly cracked open in Bai Cangshu's heart, then burst forth with a roar.
A powerful aura swept out in all directions like a hurricane in an instant.
Mai, who was fully focused on Tao Bai Bai's movements, suddenly had his pupils contract. The strong aura, like a vast ocean, instantly submerged him. He could barely breathe in that surging aura.
He felt every inch of his skin being subjected to a substantial impact, his hair instantly splayed out, and his mind trembled.
This feeling, could it be… Haki of the Conqueror?!
The next moment, an almost imperceptible whoosh of air came, and his heart turned icy cold, his scalp almost torn apart by fear. He suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.
"I know the location of End Empire's arranged teleportation point!"
Puff~
Bai Cangshu's hand-blade stopped an inch in front of Mai's chest. The intense force and Killing Intent Ripple carved a wound into his chest, and blood slowly seeped out.
The stinging pain brought Mai back to his senses. His body trembled twice, and he flickered seven or eight times in an instant before finally calming down.
Mai's heart pounded violently, his legs felt weak. The feeling of Death approaching him, just recalling it, made him feel unable to breathe.
He was scared. He suddenly lost the urge to join Tao Bai Bai's ranks. He even wanted to escape immediately, to flee far away, to leave Myanmar, to return to East Xia, or to go to White Elephant, anywhere, as long as there was no possibility of encountering Tao Bai Bai again…
Just a moment of distraction, and he was almost instantly killed on the spot.
Ha… So, in Tao Bai Bai's eyes, there was no difference between himself, Boss Jin, Muni, and Heihe.
Mai, beneath his seemingly kind and reserved exterior, was actually quite self-satisfied. He looked down on Boss Jin and the others because ever since he awakened this superpower, he had never encountered truly fatal danger.
He only needed to continuously replenish various shields to avoid being instantly killed upon first encounter; with his ability, escaping was not difficult.
He had even already planned the future development trajectory of his abilities. As long as he found some specific curses or abilities similar to "Inaction Transformation," it would not be difficult to instantly kill other Reincarnators using his super mobility. The only thing he needed to pay attention to were those spellcasters whose Mental limits had been broken.
But he was also prepared; he himself was about to touch the Mental limit, so his immunity to Mental attacks was higher…
Because of his brush with Death, Mai's thoughts uncontrollably diverged.
Whoosh.
A figure instantly appeared fifty meters behind him, and Mai's mind tensed up again.
Bai Cangshu spread his hands, smiling, as the purple Killing Intent Ripple on his hands slowly dissipated.
"You know, if you run now, I will definitely find a way to hunt you down. I think, among low-tier Reincarnators, a Reincarnator with mind control and instant movement abilities is quite identifiable. Information brokers probably won't refuse my order."
Bai Cangshu's tone was calm, as if he was catching up with an old friend, but Mai's mind was extremely tense.
He did not use instant movement to escape again.
Mai was indeed afraid; a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. He dared not gamble his life on whether Tao Bai Bai could find him.
Bai Cangshu nodded. Although this Reincarnator probably awakened a rare superpower through good luck, he did possess some quick wit, whether it was using hand seals to attract his attack and then teleporting away in the previous battle, or this time, throwing out information that could truly make him stop in a life-or-death situation.
"Attention, number Ex051, you will begin a new round of Space deployment in 1 hour. Please confirm the safety of your surroundings in advance."
At this moment, Bai Cangshu suddenly saw a Space prompt appear, indicating that his new round of tasks was about to begin.
This was the inescapable fate of Reincarnators, and it was precisely because of this that Bai Cangshu felt that the so-called End Empire was just a joke.
Who knew when the intensity of the tasks would drastically increase, and then, without needing other countries to respond, this group of superhumans would die in unknown task worlds.
"Speak, where is that teleportation point?"
Mai's mind was taut, ready to resist the impact of the Haki of the Conqueror and teleport away at any moment.
He didn't even bother to prevaricate; at this moment, he wished he would never have any more dealings with Tao Bai Bai.
"I saw the contact Boss Jin received. That group will open a large teleportation array at the border between East Xia and Myanmar in seven days, allowing all Reincarnators who wish to go to prepare resources and go together."
"However, there should be Reincarnators maintaining order there, perhaps… a title-level one."
Then, Mai stared intently at Bai Cangshu, wrote down a coordinate on the ground with his left hand, and then slowly retreated. Seeing that Bai Cangshu did not stop him, he instantly disappeared, and after several instant movements, he completely left Bai Cangshu's Perception range.
"Are you okay, Boss Bai!"
No errors in the 1619 Shuba version!
Lin Qinfu, who was still insisting on following behind the guards with a cane, asked Bai Cangshu as he emerged from the forest. Du Enqin, however, lowered her head knowingly and handed him a white towel.
Bai Cangshu wiped his hands and threw it back at the Woman.
Lin Qinfu wished he could slap himself. How could Bai Fengzi be in trouble? He was saying something completely "useless" again.
He was also gradually grasping some of Bai Fengzi's "habits." This was a monster as rational as he was ruthless. He didn't need flattery but needed to see everyone's value and purpose.
If someone lost their purpose, then they lost their value of existence.
This Woman named Du Enqin was very smart; even if her seduction failed, she still remembered small things like handing over a towel.
Bai Cangshu returned to the manor, looked at the collapsed wooden building, and said to Lin Qinfu.
"Find a new base."
As the Paradise project was steadily advancing, this manor in the mountains, far from the future Paradise center, was inconvenient for Bai Cangshu to find prey.
He simply abandoned the place.
After temporarily staying at Du Enqin's hotel, Bai Cangshu returned to the Space in his room.
He still had enough time to stay in the public Space.
Bai Cangshu planned to complete a new round of self-enhancement and resource monetization before the new round of tasks began.
His completion rate for the main quest in the previous task was too low, so the difficulty of this task deployment would likely decrease accordingly. In the Space's evaluation system, every Reincarnator had a hidden evaluation system.
If you achieve a higher completion rate, the next task world and task difficulty will be higher. If you continue to complete them, even higher difficulties will be deployed.
In higher difficulty worlds and tasks, the rewards are greater, but the risk of Death also increases.
Reincarnators, because of this system, grow stronger while the weak grow weaker.
"[GA99954770 (Mad Potter) sent a contact request: Introduced by Luo Xi? I'm at stall 77 in Section B. Think carefully, my prices are high.]"
This was a Reincarnator introduced by Luo Xi, rumored to be able to customize special items for others and possess certain appraisal abilities. He was a magic-side, mystic-side Reincarnator.
Bai Cangshu looked at the various quotes at his stall but did not rush to deal with them, going to Section B first.
The Reincarnator who called himself Mad Potter had an equally distinct and exaggerated avatar: an explosion of red hair, almost four or five times the size of a normal person's head, clearly visible from afar.
His skin was dyed black, making him very conspicuous among the other Reincarnators.
Combining this person's alias, Bai Cangshu could roughly guess his personality.
Eccentric, strange, with a prominent personality.
Extending from this, he could even form a blurry image of this person's real-world identity characteristics: likely under thirty years old, probably a shut-in male or female, fond of niche cultures, with ample free time, and a high probability of being a student or freelancer.
Mad Potter suddenly felt something strange in his heart. He looked up and saw a red, ugly face studying him with interest.
"Damn it, don't stare at me, I'm getting goosebumps."
"Damn, Luo Xi was right, you're a freak too."
