Chapter 801 The Clash of Red and Black [3] (VIII)
“Miss, there’s a meteor over there.”
Bairnis pointed to the east, and the two of them looked, a glint reflected in their eyes. The meteor’s tail was long, like a banner to kick off a war…
The Butterfly Girl, upon seeing this, immediately began sketching, capturing the scene bit by bit.
“Senior Zero…”
Staring at the meteor, Su Jiu inexplicably felt a pang of sadness. She thought of Zero and Tong, the siblings, but soon, the meteor turned into two, then three, then four…
They then collided, bursting into brilliant light, and after about thirty seconds, even shockwaves swept over them.
The Blood Clan Girl, as if understanding something, twitched the corner of her mouth, showing dead eyes, and patted the former’s head:
“Sisi, you need to get glasses. Those aren’t meteors! It’s powerful individuals fighting in the sky. Uncle Mu Qi might be among them…”
“Ah?”
Bairnis blinked, looking at the meteors she had already drawn on her sketchpad, reflecting in the blood tide. Changing it would ruin it. After a moment of silence, she continued drawing to herself:
“Miss said that in situations like this, it’s best to pretend not to know.”
“When did I ever say something so… lacking in principles?”
Su Jiu’s dead eyes shifted to the Butterfly Girl, her face etched with what seemed like heartache. Her good little maid had clearly learned some bad habits from someone…
“This chapter shall be called…”
Bairnis hummed, not responding to Su Jiu, but continuously moving her brush. She wanted to convey these scenes in the form of manga.
“Red Tide and the Giant.”
As an aunt, Bairnis narrated this trip to Xiao Yezi in a fun way, giving her a sense of participation.
“The Giant is beginning to reveal its true form.”
Watching the little maid’s earnest expression, Su Jiu rolled her eyes and then looked back at the distant sky, squeezing her phone.
“I wonder how Baiye is going to respond. Enemies of this caliber might only be handled by someone like Old Man, who is at the Wanderer level…”
There, the Giant’s torso was more than half exposed, appearing hundreds of meters tall, like a mountain that dominated the sky above the entire ocean. Some airflow surged out, emanating a terrifying aura.
The opponent hadn’t moved at all, simply suspended in the air, yet it gave Su Jiu a suffocating sense of pressure. She had a premonition…
Perhaps a single punch from them could end her “Earth Online” experience.
“Hoo…”
[Shadow One: Boss, do we need to destroy the pillars now? The island’s defenses have inexplicably decreased, and fierce battles are occurring outside.]
[Me: Wait a bit longer.]
Su Jiu tightened her grip on her phone. She wasn’t as calm as she appeared. She knew very well that besides the pillar Zero had destroyed, she controlled three other pillars.
This meant that among the eight islands, she controlled nearly half of the Alchemical protagonists. It could be said that for the upcoming sacrifice, she would have almost veto power.
“Are these battle traces Zero’s?”
Looking at the increasingly intense explosions in the distance, the girl’s eyes slightly dimmed. She recalled Zero handing her the rusty token, like someone with a death wish.
From fragmented conversations, Su Jiu understood that Zero was a very gentle person, especially when they placed a hand on her head, it felt like a sister…
That feeling was very similar to Sister Youyou. Perhaps it was because both of them were operators?
Taking the hits for the younger generation, getting trapped for twenty years, such people are rare in this world. At least, she couldn’t do it herself.
At this moment, a voice sounded from the other end of the phone: “You have an incoming call from an unknown number.”
Glancing at the IP address: Huainan, Su Jiu was startled and immediately answered the call: “Hello? Who is it…”
“It’s me.” A somewhat aged voice replied, sounding a bit tired.
“Old Man?” Hearing the highly recognizable voice, Su Jiu quickly identified the speaker and asked almost instinctively:
“Have Xiao Yezi and E Huo caused you any trouble?”
“No, Xiao Lu is watching them. Apart from some poor sleep, they’re doing quite well.”
Old Man’s voice paused, then abruptly shifted, and he said softly, “Zero just called me. I asked Youyou to track the address. It was a phone booth in your area…”
Old Man’s voice wasn’t fast, and he rambled on about what had just happened, recounting his recent experiences in fragments.
The image of a girl standing inside a phone booth, making her will, vividly appeared on paper.
Finally, they both fell silent, and after about ten minutes of quiet, these elaborate explanations culminated in one sentence: “Xiao Jiu, can you help me find her?”
The girl pursed her lips. She couldn’t refuse such a request.
“Okay.”
The Blood Clan Girl understood that someone like Senior Zero shouldn’t die in a place like this…
The ship sailing to the light shouldn’t abandon this knight stained with darkness. She had suffered too much, was too tired, all these years.
Taking a sip of coconut water and feeling the icy sensation, she silently changed her phone contact:
[Me: Feng, bring all your troops and search for a white-haired woman at all costs.]
[Feng: Boss, “at all costs” means…]
Su Jiu pressed her phone, her fingertips dancing lightly. Her eyes gazed towards the distant sea, watching the unpredictable blood tide, and she slowly pressed send:
[Me: Unlimited resurrections are allowed.]
Meanwhile, Bairnis listened to this conversation speechlessly, her pencil dancing continuously. A figure entered the manga depicting the red tide, a silver-haired silhouette reflected in pale blue eyes.
Beneath the figure’s dark attire was a cold longsword, and their eyes held a simple quality.
Remembering the Siren Clan’s prophecy, Bairnis suddenly paused and picked up her brush again. She believed that “Black-Clad Swordsman” didn’t just refer to Bai Ya, as Miss had said, but to countless Night Watchers drawing their swords against the abyss.
Thus, she named this chapter “The Black-Clad Swordsman.”
As the Red Tide surged, the Dragon Girl found the Black-Clad Swordsman, and together they resisted the Giant in the sky…
…
On the island at the very center, a beam of light shot straight into the sky, and several figures stood in mid-air. The sea breeze blew, carrying a rich scent of blood. The golden light from the beam illuminated the blood sea brightly…
Like a noble and ceremonial long carpet, welcoming the descending deity.
And at the very center, two crimson figures stood opposite each other, their clashing auras forming a stalemate in the night.
“Bai Ya, what do you mean by having your subordinates attack my stronghold?”
A slightly damp voice sounded. Zi Chuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the youth in front of him, his gaze pausing slightly on the double-handed sword tucked behind his waist…
He felt a subtle sense of danger from this man. Facing a top-tier prodigy like this, even he felt a little tense.
He had reached the Wanderer realm through sacrifices and divine rewards. Even though the other person was only half a Wanderer, the pressure was palpable.
As the voice fell, the people behind him moved closer, exuding an aggressive aura…
Bai Ya chuckled, casually glancing at the surrounding Ancient God Cult followers, his tone gentle, as if conversing with an old friend.
“I sent Liuli to inspect your facilities, but your subordinates stopped her. Isn’t it natural for some unpleasantness to arise?”
He hadn’t brought many people with him on this trip, only a few confidantes.
“Heh heh, Bai Ya Hongyi, we all know what you’re thinking…”
Zi Chuan looked at his unruffled demeanor, his expression slightly serious. After a pause, he suddenly grinned, his smile splitting as wide as an overripe pomegranate, and slowly said:
“Your sister is in my hands.”
“…”
After Zi Chuan’s words fell, Bai Ya was stunned. Although he had anticipated this outcome, hearing it still made his heart tremble…
He lowered his gaze but still maintained a smile, softly saying, “Isn’t it too childish to threaten me with a dead person?”
“She’s not dead, but clinging to life as my knight. As long as you obediently summon this Lord of the Gods, she can live…”
Zi Chuan’s smile grew more intense, his sinister eyes constantly scanning Bai Ya’s face, trying to find any sign of panic. In negotiations, this would give him the upper hand.
“Tell your subordinates to stand down.”
But the next second, he froze…
“Heh heh…”
Bai Ya laughed. He moved his arm and drew his black longsword, pointing it forward. A sharp blast of air surged forward, and he chuckled lightly, “Lord of the Gods, I will continue to summon, and the blood sacrifice will continue…”
It seemed as if thunder beasts roared from the sword, warning him.
“But if you keep babbling, I’ll just cut you down!”
This confident voice reverberated through the vast sky, lingering for a long time, causing the approaching Ferrymen to halt their steps…
Zi Chuan squinted slightly. Although Bai Ya’s tone was unpleasant, his willingness to “continue summoning” relieved the cautious man in red.
He knew the current situation well. As long as Bai Ya agreed to continue, once the deity descended, everything would be under his control.
The sinister smile was then buried in his heart. He raised his head slightly, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint as he looked at the King-Level Stranger, whose torso was already half exposed…
Another half hour, and the ritual would succeed.
As time passed, many human organizations began to notice the abnormality and started requesting consultations with their superiors. On these scattered islands, many Dragon Hunter branches and the Law Enforcement Hall were preparing to investigate the situation…
There were even patrol teams that Su Jiu had met before.
The celestial phenomena in the sky also attracted many sea monsters. Many monsters surfaced to watch. On a certain reef, two figures were also looking up…
“Long Princess, should we order some sea creatures to join the battle?”
The Unicorn Girl turned to the tall woman who had been lost in thought and asked softly.
“Notify all sea creatures of Battle King level or above, the Ancient God Sect’s sacrifice, and the Others re-emerging in the ocean. Enter a state of preparedness and defend together.”
Retracting her gaze, the Long Princess waved her fish-scaled hand. A short figure appeared in her pale blue eyes, their appearance somewhat blurred…
The son of a noble family from the Law Enforcement Hall. In this urgent situation, would she meet him?
Heh heh, she was really a love-struck fool, still daydreaming at a time like this.
