Chapter 804: Pawns Outside the Domain (XI)
“God? Heh heh… you shouldn’t be able to return so quickly now, right?”
Hearing the voice from the sky, Bai Ya just smiled faintly, meeting the gaze of the giant eyes, the dual swords in his hand trembled slightly.
It was as if the swords were yearning for blood, or perhaps it was the excitement of their master. They had waited for this moment for a very, very long time.
For the past twenty years, the swords had been empty, and the person too, was exceptionally empty.
“Do you presume to challenge one who is worshipped as a god by me…”
Upon hearing this, the giant in the sky, [Zhan], was slightly stunned, finding it somewhat amusing. The scar that ran down to his chest twisted like a ferocious centipede. He looked down from above at Bai Ya with a condescending gaze:
“Ridiculous! Although you carry the scent of Night, facing me as a half-walker, even with an alchemy array, it’s useless. You are not one of those true human leaders. In this peaceful era, humanity has become too weak.”
Then, he revealed his entire body. His muscles, coiled like an old tree, each measured about a hundred square units. A faint red halo hovered above his head…
“Surrender to me, King Valerius of War!”
His voice boomed like thunder, carrying a powerful oppressive force that caused the already surging Red Tide to ripple and churn, raising waves more than half a meter high.
“You are also only at the half-step鎮國級 (Zhen Guo Ji – National Guard level), you will still get injured…”
Seeing the giant fully revealed before his eyes, Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, looking at the scar that went through the other’s eyes. He smiled faintly, secretly holding his phone and sending out a prepared group message:
[Bai Ye] (8)
[Bai Ya: @all members Destroy the alchemy pillars.]
He estimated that, including the four pillars he currently occupied, minus the two pillars destroyed for unknown reasons, he should be able to steadily destroy six of them.
Once all six pillars were destroyed, the opponent’s energy pillars would be reduced to two, and their strength would be halved. Logically speaking, with his plan, taking down the opponent should not be too difficult.
“Human, I know your plan. I have long ordered my Iron Guards to guard the pillars.”
Aka Valo grinned, his hands emitting crimson mist, dyeing half the sea red. In his hand appeared an axe the size of an island, engraved with the same patterns as those on Zi Chuan.
Just standing there gave one the feeling of being a god.
A surge of bloodlust, carrying an invincible aura, crushed forward towards Bai Ya’s position. The reefs in its path were ground into powder, as if possessing an unstoppable force.
“It’s Fallen Knights. I didn’t expect there to be multiple. Mr. Zhuge’s formation will surely take one of them. I can only hope that the junior named Jiu can hold one island alone…”
Bai Ya’s eyes sank. With a flip of his palm, two swords appeared beside him. He tightly gripped their hilts and swung them forcefully. Immediately, a fierce gust of wind whistled through the air.
With a “whoosh!”, the white sword wind instantly dispersed the bloodmist.
He had anticipated the presence of Fallen Knights, and even guessed they would use Zero as leverage, but he hadn’t expected multiple Fallen Knights to arrive in advance.
“Human, since you refuse, there is no need for further futile struggles.”
Seeing Bai Ya still gripping his dual swords, Acala Valo’s face showed a faint smile. He slowly raised his axe. He had actually never intended to make the opponent truly surrender from the beginning.
He simply wanted to humiliate the descendants of Night.
The King Knight had never forgotten the scene from that year. He had been dispatched to the Snow Night Empire to destroy the force that resisted them, the Others – Night.
On the day when the most people ascended.
He disguised himself as an ordinary human and led a team of ten Others to the opposite side of Night Peak. Looking at the human heroes who were as numerous as carp crossing a river, his killing intent was uncontrollable.
Among those people were Qingyi scholars, explorers, blonde and blue-eyed alchemists, priests, and even pirates. All sorts of professions seemed to have gathered solely to drive them away.
He understood that if these passionate sparks were given more time, they would inevitably spread like wildfire.
But if they could be extinguished when they were just flames, even if it didn’t cause substantial damage immediately, it would undoubtedly have a profound impact, perhaps even allowing them to conquer this world in the future.
Aka Valo no longer concealed his aura. In full view of everyone, he directly revealed his Walker-level aura, intending to smash the ascending crowd with a single axe.
He tried to find fear in those sparks, but all he found were figures gripping their weapons. The scholar standing at the forefront raised his green sword…
A hawk with the wind landed on his shoulder, emitting a low cry.
He smiled, only this level of strength daring to stand out?
He was about to bring down his axe…
The next second, a cold female voice echoed from the mountaintop.
“Didn’t anyone tell you, this is…”
On the snowy mountain peak, that peerless figure, with crimson eyes flashing beneath her black robe, her silver hair dancing in the wind, simply raised her hand.
“The Domain of Night!”
“Swoosh!”
A brilliant white sword light slashed out. In that instant, snowflakes filled the air. He himself, who was only at the Walker level at the time, was almost killed with a single strike.
“Swoosh swoosh!!”
The cloaked figure showed no room for negotiation. As his arm trembled, several more sword lights seemed to slash out.
Aka Valo understood that their plan to eradicate had failed. He could only lead his men to retreat temporarily, otherwise, the strong forces of the Snow Night Empire would arrive, and they would suffer.
However, during the retreat…
He discovered something even more coincidental. Like the current Bai Ya, he smelled the scent of [Blood] from that figure. The scent of [Blood] on the opponent was very strong.
Hundreds of times stronger than Bai Ya, a believer, feeling like a King Knight…
“Need to break through the light pillar first.”
He could only take it one step at a time. Bai Ya glanced at the golden light pillar below, gripped his dual swords, and the blades vibrated slightly. A more intense bloodlust surged from behind him, enveloping the dual swords in an instant.
He swung the dual swords directly at the light pillar. The sword energy turned into a blood-red dragon head roaring towards it.
“Trying to break through the energy pillar?”
Aka Valo smiled. His body instantly shrank to the size of an ordinary person at an undetectable speed, blocking the front of the light pillar.
“Borrowed power is always borrowed. If you were a true walker, I might have been wary of your energy for a moment.”
Looking at the blood-red dragon energy attacking him, he didn’t even use his axe, just casually swatted it with his hand, crushing it into powder without even taking a step back.
“If our own light pillars were occupied, that would be bad. Deducting the two broken ones, and the inevitable Mr. Zhuge, there are still five pillars whose status is unknown…”
Seeing that the opponent’s aura had not weakened, the face beneath Bai Ya’s mask became somewhat solemn. He glanced at the golden light in the sky, channeling the torrent of formations into his legs and feet, and then his figure suddenly flickered.
“Is the descendant of Night only capable of this much?”
Aka Valo looked at Bai Ya, who stood motionless opposite him, and tightened his crimson fist. Then, with a cold laugh, he punched out forcefully, bringing with it a sharp and terrifying gust of wind towards a certain space behind him.
“Boom!”
The fist tore through space with an indescribable aura. Just as it was about to reach a certain point, a fluctuation suddenly appeared there, and then a crimson shadow strangely appeared. The dual swords, emitting a red glow, fiercely slashed down.
Sword shadows overlapped, black and white intertwined, as if hundreds of swords were unleashed in an instant.
“Clang clang clang!!!”
The two clashed in mid-air. The sound of metal collision instantly filled the sky, followed by a shockwave that impacted the surroundings. The air blurred, and the entire space seemed on the verge of collapse.
Facing the continuous slashes, this King-level Other twitched his shoulders, releasing the entire force, and crushed it forward with his fist, carrying an invincible aura.
As for the crimson shadow, it directly chose to evade. Affected by the force, it retreated more than ten meters before barely stabilizing its body. It lifted its head, revealing Bai Ya at full speed.
“A King-level Other with full energy…”
He panted slightly, looking at the golden powder floating on the opponent’s body, his face somewhat grim. His gaze turned back to the pillars behind him…
As long as there were more than four pillars, the opponent could continuously absorb energy from the original world. Only by destroying the pillars in front could there be a chance to change the current situation.
With only three pillars, the energy would cause a backlash. The fewer there were, the more severe the backlash. This was because this world and the cultivation systems of the Others were incompatible. Unless the opponent invaded on a large scale, causing energy infiltration, they would inevitably suffer erosion.
This was the only way Bai Ya could fight them.
“If those useless [Yi] faced you, they would probably be killed. But, if only such attacks can’t even penetrate my body defense…”
Looking at Bai Ya staring at him, Aka Valo shook his head. Just as he was about to mock him again, his body suddenly stiffened. The golden dust on his body began to disappear.
“What’s going on?!”
Bai Ya was also stunned. This situation occurred when there were fewer than four pillars. His eyes then focused. Without any hesitation, he moved again, seizing the opportunity to slash towards the pillar behind the opponent.
“How is that possible?! I had two Knight Guards stationed there in advance.”
This King-level Other was still under the energy backlash. Although he noticed Bai Ya’s actions, his body reacted a step too late, and he could only watch as the blood-red figure appeared behind the pillar.
“Crack!”
The black and white longswords cut through the light pillar. The light pillar in the sky crackled twice and then completely disappeared, revealing only the crescent moon in the dark night hanging in the sky.
“Cough cough…”
Aka Valo coughed a few times, his aura instantly weakened, seemingly receding to a level similar to Bai Ya’s…
…
On Luofu Island.
The silver-haired girl sat on a reef, looking at her phone, and smiled faintly.
[ID: Shadow One]
[Me: Activate the bomb.]
[Shadow One: Received.]
…
And on another island where a battle erupted, Mu Qi and the other person stared blankly at the golden pillar being blown up. The Fallen Knight beside the pillar was even more bewildered.
“Human, move!”
While he was in a daze, a familiar voice sounded, followed by a healing aura from his body. He turned to look in the direction of the spellcasting. Across the sea, a tall figure stood.
The handsome young man’s pupils suddenly contracted fiercely.
…
On the other two islands, in one direction, an old man with a cane was spinning an Eight Trigrams diagram. Anyone who entered fell into a state of confusion…
In another place, a Qingyi girl was holding it. If you looked closely, her figure was somewhat ethereal, like a phantom…
