Chapter 483: Crushing Power
"You are..."
Yero was about to speak, but the ground rolled continuously. The woman who had just used the power of the [Op-Op Fruit] to initiate a swap opened her right hand again.
Her figure disappeared once more, leaving only a piece of broken stone in her place.
She had completely seen through the fact that Yero was a useless piece of trash. Clearly possessing the ability of invisibility, yet in her fear, both her heartbeat and footsteps were completely exposed.
This person was beyond saving and was bound to die.
[Lingxin] continuously activated her ability. She knew very well that to defeat Mercenary Tao, she was probably the key.
Only if her Observation Haki perceived the positions of enough teammates and used the powerful ability of the Op-Op Fruit to coordinate them, could it be possible to defeat Mercenary Tao.
But before that, she must guard against Mercenary Tao's assassination.
Only now did she have time to check the prompts on her panel, but... it was completely empty!
She was somewhat astonished. Although she knew the thermobaric bomb couldn't kill Mercenary Tao, could it actually not even manage to catch him in the blast?
Was Mercenary Tao's speed that fast, or... did the other party have some special hiding and concealing ability!
Buzz!
A gust of wind blew from the front, and an intense premonition appeared. Lingxin's pupils trembled. A pitch-black hand had already emerged from the wind, closely followed by that pink robe.
Her right hand, hanging by her side, immediately hooked up, and an invisible fluctuation of ability swept to the surroundings.
Buzz~
Amidst the extreme vibration of space, her figure instantly distorted.
"Ha!"
Using [Fairy in the Wind] to turn into wind, passing straight through the explosion and pursuing her, Kaito Shirogane opened his mouth and let out a violent roar.
An explosion no inferior to the thermobaric bomb erupted directly without any interval.
A piece of rubble that had been swapped over was instantly turned into dust in the explosion accompanied by thunder-like vibrations.
"Ah!"
Caught off guard and only having time to teleport seven hundred meters away, Lingxin clutched her head, wailing in agony.
The woman who was still high-spirited just a moment ago now had her eardrums shattered. Only two bloody holes remained where her eyes should be, and blood flowed constantly from her nasal cavity.
She completely couldn't withstand suffering the attack of [World-Shocking Thunder Roar] at close range.
That pain of flesh and skin was secondary; the destruction of her eardrums affected her nerves, making it hard for her to even grasp her balance at this moment, let alone calm down.
Tap tap tap...
Urgent footsteps approached. Lingxin revealed an expression of fear. With a flash of light, a tachi appeared in her hand, and she slashed directly in front of her.
Buzz!
A blue fan shape was slashed out instantly. Accompanied by her fruit ability and powerful swordsmanship, a block was directly sliced open.
But the approaching footsteps only paused for a moment before continuing to draw near.
"Do you want to die, you idiot!"
The newcomer angrily rebuked Lingxin. But this actually made her calm down a bit. As long as it wasn't Mercenary Tao, as long as she could find the others, she would have a chance to use the Op-Op Fruit to get herself a new pair of eyes and ears.
The Op-Op Fruit possessed miraculous power. If she didn't know that Mercenary Tao also mastered powerful Armament Haki, she could even directly dig out Mercenary Tao's [Heart] and squeeze it at will.
A hand lifted Lingxin by the back of her neck, followed by an intense energy fluctuation. In the next moment, Lingxin felt her position change.
This person possesses some kind of teleportation magic!
Those who could accept this Deathmatch Mission must all be existences above the [Strong] tier. Moreover, Lingxin had already discovered that those entering this mission, including herself,
were all, in a sense, Reincarnators possessing the identity of "Fierce Persons."
She guessed this was probably related to Mercenary Tao's special title. This was a mission that only Reincarnators judged by the Space as fierce or evil persons would receive.
But the ridiculous thing was that this group of fierce and evil persons, at this very moment, actually had to act friendly and help each other in order to survive.
Pfft...
Cold spray was sprayed directly onto Lingxin's face. The pain of her eyes being blown apart was quickly relieved. She began to be able to use Observation Haki to perceive her surroundings again.
Although her Observation Haki wasn't strong enough yet to replace vision, she was at least not completely blind.
She felt that the aura of the Reincarnator in front of her was very weak. No, it should be said that the other party actively hid their aura and concealed all their energy.
If they weren't so close, she probably wouldn't have been able to detect the other party's position at all.
"Go find... Yero. That woman was scared silly by Mercenary Tao. She's useless. I need her eyes and ears!"
Lingxin spoke without any pity. That figure didn't say anything either, instantly teleporting away.
Meanwhile, on the frontal battlefield, Xingliu wildly struck the earth with both palms again.
[Racial Magic · Earthquake]!
Terrifying energy like an earthshaking tremor turned into shockwaves, beginning to collapse the buildings of the entire city. He didn't even look at the results. The ability that just teleported him away from the center of the explosion made him realize that among his "companions" was that notorious bitch—Lingxin.
The other party was an evil seed who played with other Reincarnators in various mission worlds and slaughtered them cruelly. Rising rapidly by utilizing the power of the [Op-Op Fruit] obtained from somewhere unknown, that terrifying effect capable of arbitrary spatial displacement allowed her to kill ordinary Reincarnators before they could even touch the corner of her clothes.
She would even intentionally piece together the corpses of other Reincarnators.
But the more notorious a guy was in the past, the more reliable a companion they were when appearing here today!
Xingliu consciously took on the main attack, letting Lingxin support. Moreover, by attacking the entire city, he was also forcing out those other idiots who were still thinking of hiding.
Tap, tap, tap.
The steady sound of footsteps was completely out of proportion with the earthshaking commotion.
Xingliu looked at Mercenary Tao walking with his hands behind his back through the violently shaking city as if walking on flat ground, his pupils shrinking abruptly.
Real or fake?! Is this kind of guy actually only at the [Strong] tier?!
He had seen similar performances before; that was a special manifestation only present after Martial Arts Mastery broke through Lv7. Even a "force" like an earthquake couldn't affect the other party at all.
Kaito walked over from the ground towards this Reincarnator who mastered multiple interesting transformations, a faint smile still on his face.
A building collapsed towards him from the side. He raised his left hand and gave a violent jolt.
Bang!
That was an empty strike. He struck out a palm into thin air. Because the speed was too fast, the viscous air was hit by his palm as if it were a liquid.
A blazing white shockwave spread out circle by circle, like liquefied air denting violently. That was a manifestation of the force Kaito struck out completely condensing without scattering; even the air wouldn't let that force erupt directly.
Buzz!
The liquid-like air dented, and in the next moment, it erupted violently. Accompanied by a blazing white shockwave, it directly knocked the tilting building flying with a boom, sending it flying hundreds of meters to the other side.
Rumble!
Buildings collided with buildings. Dust filled the sky, obscuring all vision.
Fear arose in Xingliu's heart. Pushing off with his feet, his figure transformed again. The transformation of the Bear of the Earth disappeared instantly, and huge brown wings appeared from his back. He turned into a giant eagle with a wingspan of over four or five meters, spreading its wings and flying towards the sky.
Whoosh!
With a flap of his wings, the dust dispersed. The eagle's eyesight was extremely good, but he still didn't catch any trace of Mercenary Tao.
This feeling...
Xingliu had rich combat experience. Almost instantly, he canceled the transformation, wanting to turn back into the Bear of the Earth with strong defense again. But a person had already emerged from the wind in front of him.
Kaito held his palm flat like a blade, his right hand as black as ink. With over fifty points of naked strength coordinated with the power control of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, all force flowed as he wished.
With a chop of his hand blade, a pitch-black trajectory appeared like a sudden flash of a blade.
Pfft!
[You killed Reincarnator KL54007833. Deathmatch mission progress updated. Current remaining enemies: 5]
The violently beating heart still hadn't stopped, and rushing fresh blood sprayed out from the headless corpse.
Kaito took a step to the side as if taking a leisurely stroll, having already walked several meters away. Not a drop of blood fell on him.
He turned his head and saw a figure flash past and disappear, but in his [Mantra], there was still no presence of the other party.
And the remaining Reincarnators had already silently gathered together. Obviously, that hiding guy was gathering manpower.
Kaito revealed a satisfied smile.
"Interesting..."
