Chapter 577: The Mad King; Repaying a Favor
Everything happened in a flash. From the moment the figure fell from the sky to the person stepping out of the smoke, Miao's high-pitched warning had not yet fully conveyed.
Tao Pai Pai had already severely injured A Dao.
And… it was Tao Pai Pai, damn it!
Miao's scalp tingled, the sense of crisis and tension nearly piercing her scalp.
She watched as Tao Pai Pai's iconic Dong Dong Wave began to condense, and could only focus her Mental power, directly striking at Tao Pai Pai.
At the same time, she slammed both hands downwards.
Boom!
The air rippled violently like ocean waves, folding and churning in the air, then exploding outwards like an air cannon, slamming into Bai Cangshu's body.
But a transparent spherical force field appeared around Tao Pai Pai's body at this moment. The air cannon, upon touching his body, directly exploded, turning into white cloud debris flying in all directions.
Buzz~ Poof!
The golden Dong Dong Wave shot out in an instant. The swordsman immediately held his sword horizontally, but with a 'poof', both the sword and his body were simultaneously pierced.
Poof, poof, poof.
With three consecutive sounds, before A Dao even hit the ground, his glabella, heart, and throat were again filled with three holes.
The flexibility and strong penetrating power of the Dong Dong Wave were fully demonstrated at this moment.
[You have killed Reincarnator UF20034159]
[Comparison of strength between both sides: 1:0.17. This reward has been downgraded and will not produce a scarlet drop card… Anomaly]
[Based on the effect of Greed Cocoon (Tier 3), a scarlet drop card has been produced]
Bai Cangshu pinched the scarlet drop card that rapidly condensed in front of him, grinning at the other two.
"Indeed, he was the weakest among you three."
Miao was stunned for a moment, not expecting her friend to be killed in such an instant.
The next moment, her hair began to turn white inch by inch, and her eyes completely whitened. Her entire body unconsciously floated upwards.
A powerful storm accompanied by lightning generated from the atmosphere.
That was the bloodline ability of the powerful mutant Storm from the X-Men world. Although the purity was not yet high enough, when fully unleashed, she still resembled a god controlling the atmosphere.
Miao spread her arms, her gaze completely locked on Tao Pai Pai. His appearance had long been circulated, and their team, not far from Paradise, naturally had their guard up.
They just didn't expect him to appear so suddenly and immediately begin to kill.
Miao pointed her right hand directly at Bai Cangshu, and a strong wind pressure appeared. A whirlwind directly enveloped Bai Cangshu's body, carrying him upwards into the sky.
Bai Cangshu did not resist, spreading his hands and looking at the storm and lightning in the sky with an interested expression.
"Haha, controlling storms and lightning, how interesting…"
Rip!
Electricity surged from his body. Amidst the rolling thunderclouds, the atmosphere became even more oppressive.
Below, Artoria, held by the Force, gripped the black holy sword tightly. The next moment, black and scarlet mixed magic power erupted directly from the sword.
Boom!
Light soared into the sky, the Fate Lightsaber danced wildly, and the Force indiscriminately enveloped the surroundings. He had already guessed something.
Tao Pai Pai and he had no enmity, but recently, many people had tried to trade with Tao Pai Pai…
The image of a thin man appeared in his mind, his gaze towards him transforming from respect and adoration to indifference and hatred.
"Wait, Saber, Tao Pai Pai… we can also trade with you…"
Buzz!
Sword light exploded, and Fate was sent flying again. In intense pain, bleeding profusely, he was already unable to withstand such terrifying slashes.
Rip!
The sky suddenly brightened, and a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket descended from the thunderclouds, precisely striking the white-haired woman in the air.
Then, Fate, tumbling in the air, watched helplessly as Tao Pai Pai threw a punch, the twisted force enveloping the thunderclouds, blasting Miao into a spray of blood.
His heart ached, and hatred and fear assailed him simultaneously.
Fate used the Force to stabilize himself in the air. Everything seemed to be still. His head was about to explode, and simultaneously controlling the consumption of both Tao Pai Pai and Artoria caused his brain to rapidly necrotize, but he still persisted in speaking.
"Don't kill me… Tao Pai Pai, I am…"
Roar!
A terrifying roar exploded, and the thunderclouds simultaneously lit up completely, as if all the lightning had exploded at once.
Fate didn't even have time to continue speaking before his body swelled and burst apart.
Bai Cangshu put away the two scarlet drop cards, picked up Artoria, who he was not too satisfied with, and soared into the sky.
——
One Sword Piao Hong was a slender but very tall man. Bai Cangshu estimated his height to be over two meters. Dressed in a light black tracksuit, he easily crossed the small trouble outside Paradise.
Speaking of small trouble, the memetic agents released by Bai Cangshu had actually caused a huge impact near Paradise. The Myanmar government had already announced that this area would be designated as a restricted zone, prohibiting anyone from entering, and did not rule out the possibility of military assault.
Of course, Bai Cangshu was now too lazy to deal with a government that had no Reincarnator organization or strong national power to support it. He just told Jin Yue'an to arrange for someone to "persuade" them later.
Bai Cangshu's toes touched the ground, and his entire being seemed to float lightly in the air. With his hands behind his back, he sized up the newcomer.
"Your strength is so-so, why do you think of seeking revenge through trade?"
One Sword Piao Hong was also sizing up the legendary Tao Pai Pai at this moment. His light posture and seemingly arrogant gaze gave him a very familiar feeling.
Powerful, arrogant, as if he looked down on everyone—this was the aura only a Reincarnator who had never experienced failure on his journey would possess.
One Sword Piao Hong pursed his lips. A flash of light in his hand, and a sheathless iron sword appeared in his grip. He gently stroked the iron sword, and a sharp sensation emerged.
That was probably a sword mastery of around Lv7 to Lv8, which was already extremely high for most Reincarnators.
"Of course, I also wanted to achieve that step with my own enhancements, but unfortunately, there's no 'a gentleman's revenge is best served ten years later' in the Reincarnator's world…"
One Sword Piao Hong spoke, his voice a little hoarse. Bai Cangshu noticed a shallow scar on his throat.
One Sword Piao Hong was just about to speak, but Bai Cangshu had already read most of his thoughts through the Mind Net, immediately losing interest in listening.
He waved his hand.
"Forget it, keep those dirty matters to yourself. Now, I have completed your commission, and you should give me that thing."
One Sword Piao Hong was stunned for a moment. He flipped his right hand, and with a flash of light, a bundle of something like a glowing white hose appeared.
[You have obtained Material: God's Hair (World's Rare Treasure)]
Bai Cangshu weighed the small bundle of so-called God's Hair. It weighed over two kilograms, possessing a mass far exceeding its visual appearance.
Perhaps, this thing could make up for the last bit of his energy's shortcoming.
Having obtained the item, Bai Cangshu had no further interest in One Sword Piao Hong. He waved his hand to signal him to leave, but One Sword Piao Hong hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to speak.
"Actually, I didn't want to act personally also because of someone…"
"Lord Tao Pai Pai, have you heard of the Mad King?"
Bai Cangshu turned his head. He indeed had no impression of that name, but those three people, before they died, seemed to want to report some name.
But he and Artoria were both types who had no interest in listening to the other party's last words, so they just killed them. Thinking about it now, perhaps it was this so-called Mad King?
One Sword Piao Hong saw that Tao Pai Pai had no reaction. He knew that Tao Pai Pai was an arrogant person, and undoubtedly, an incredibly powerful one.
But…
"Lord Tao Pai Pai, please be careful. The Mad King is a madman. He will probably… mess up this world even earlier than you!"
Then, One Sword Piao Hong suddenly knelt on one knee, plunging the iron sword into the ground.
"Lord, although it was a trade, because of this trade, I have caused you new trouble. I hope to use this sword of mine as compensation…"
Bai Cangshu understood his meaning. He didn't really want to use that useless iron sword; he wanted to pledge allegiance to Tao Pai Pai.
Bai Cangshu's eyelids drooped as he looked at this guy. This person was not the type who pretended to repay a favor but actually wanted to take advantage to join Tao Pai Pai's faction.
This was a… guy who genuinely wanted to repay a favor.
Ha, repaying a favor, to me?!
Bai Cangshu had experienced many people wanting to seek revenge on him, but so-called repaying a favor was still very rare.
