Chapter 500: Chapter 524: Black Moon Power
After Baiyu finished speaking, the golden glow around his body dimmed.
A figure resembling a Golden Warrior stood in place.
The weapons in many of the assassins’ hands had already been pressed into distorted shapes.
On Baiyu.
The Mechanical Armament was riddled with cracks, the first time the Forbidden Armament was breached.
However.
That was all.
The Blood Qi defense layer beneath Baiyu’s armor remained intact. Some of the Blade Qi attacks, even if they penetrated the defense layer and hit the skin, could only leave some white marks.
Within just a few seconds.
The Forbidden Armament on Baiyu’s body was restored to its original state, all cracks vanished completely.
Forbidden Armament.
Has the ability to automatically repair itself.
Baiyu stood there without moving, gazing from afar at the Puppet Master controlling the marionette strings, with eyes full of cold laughter.
Their eyes met.
The Puppet Master was clearly the leader of this operation, but at this moment, with the action stalled, he was at a loss for solutions.
"Withdraw!"
A moment later.
He let out a low growl.
Before coming, he had known how difficult this person before him could be, so he had already devised a beheading plan.
First, use puppet strings to control Baiyu’s body, rendering him immobile, turning him into a living target.
Then.
Let the other assassins attack with their strongest attacks, to instantly kill Baiyu at light speed.
This plan was simple and brutal.
But extremely effective.
When dealing with someone like Baiyu, overly complicated plans are more likely to fail.
It was precisely such a plan.
That greatly increased the chance of success.
For this reason.
He spared no effort to gather such a force and even used valuable consumable Magical Items to create a temporary Barrier.
He even accounted for the combat capability of Qiong Xue beside Baiyu.
But unexpectedly.
The plan still failed at the last minute, with the opponent’s Forbidden Armament, it was like trying to deal with an old tortoise inside its shell, leaving him no way to strike.
If only he had known.
He should have brought even more powerful Magical Items.
But in the Shelter, it’s hard to evade the Anomaly Bureau’s checks with highly destructive Magical Items.
At this moment.
The man felt caught in a dilemma, trapped in an inescapable predicament.
Withdrawing seemed to be his only option.
But next time, if he wanted to assassinate Baiyu again, he wouldn’t have such a good opportunity.
Seeing Qiong Xue rushing over.
In helplessness.
The Puppet Master sullenly shouted, "Retreat, retreat quickly."
In an instant.
The surrounding assassins rapidly retreated, turning into streaks of black lines, disappearing all around.
Baiyu saw this, how could he possibly let these people escape?
If he didn’t capture them and interrogate them to find out the mastermind, Baiyu would definitely not be at peace.
Therefore.
He looked towards Qiong Xue’s direction: "Hold them off, the Anomaly Bureau and City Guard Army will definitely arrive soon.
These traitors won’t escape!"
Qiong Xue already had this intention in mind, seeing that Baiyu no longer needed her protection, and was assured of safety, she directly charged towards the group of assassins trying to flee.
She didn’t need to kill them all.
As long as she could engage them for a moment and delay their retreat actions, once reinforcements arrived, everything would be settled.
Meanwhile.
The war between Baiyu and the Puppet Master continued.
The opponent’s forehead was already sweating, especially seeing Baiyu’s confident gaze, he became even more flustered.
Miscalculated!
In this operation, he ultimately underestimated this Baiyu.
The Puppet Master’s Extraordinary ability was indeed very abnormal when used in assassination and other situations.
However.
Once used in a direct confrontation, it is highly ineffective.
This is also why the Extraordinary cannot become the main force of the army and can only form special units.
Compared to the versatility of Martial Artists, who can fight anytime and anywhere.
The Extraordinary.
Their Extraordinary Abilities have many weaknesses.
It’s like a student with severe subject imbalance.
Once the Puppet Master’s abilities were defended against in a direct confrontation, it was difficult for him to continue to strengthen the control, at most reaching a stalemate with the opponent, competing in willpower and Spiritual Power, as well as physical recovery.
But.
In all these aspects, Baiyu is clearly a freak.
In the information he collected, this person dared to directly touch anomalies and could survive coming out of the Simulation Realm, even having faced the Evil God’s corruption.
The opponent.
Still alive and kicking, with no mental issues whatsoever.
"If this drags on, I’m dead.
With the Anomaly Bureau and City Guard Army arriving, my chances of escape are nearly zero.
I can’t be indecisive."
The man’s eyes flashed like lightning at this moment, and the pure white threads on his constantly wriggling ten fingers suddenly snapped.
Following that.
His entire body swiftly retreated, with thick black mist emanating all over him, as if intending to merge into the darkness.
Yet when he gave up controlling.
Baiyu also relaxed thoroughly, instantly recovering his freedom. Seeing the adversary trying to flee, how could he not take action?
"Next time we meet, I’ll definitely take your life."
The man stared icily at Baiyu, his figure nearly disappearing. This method of escape was unheard of.
But Baiyu wasn’t just sitting idly by.
He let out a sinister laugh, and the Black Moon Mark under his skin suddenly protruded, radiating scalding heat.
Although he usually didn’t use Black Moon Power.
However.
That doesn’t mean he couldn’t.
On the contrary, precisely because he understood how strong the abilities provided by the Black Moon Mark were, Baiyu chose to use them cautiously.
Because.
In the extraordinary world, the stronger the ability, the greater the side effects.
The power gained and the price paid must be commensurate.
This principle of equal exchange.
In the Extraordinary Realm, is common knowledge.
As the Black Moon Mark under his skin glowed once more, a thick black chain emerged from the void, directly piercing through the man’s chest.
However.
At the same time, Baiyu’s chest was also pierced instantly.
Yet no blood flowed from either of them, nor did they feel any pain. The only thing that terrified the man was his inability to gather his spirituality, making it hard to use Extraordinary abilities.
Moreover, his Blood Qi was continuously depleting.
No means could stop it!
"What have you done..."
He shouted hoarsely, his voice laced with undeniable fear,
But when he raised his head.
The surroundings had already changed.
The original sky of the Shelter was gone, replaced by a sticky, dense darkness all around, with countless black gases flowing in the atmosphere, as if entering an abyss never to see daylight.
In the sky.
A red moon rose brightly, exuding scorching light and heat.
"Black Moon... the raging Black Moon?!"
The man screamed in terror.
Baiyu hadn’t expected that after the Black Moon Mark was upgraded in the Scholar’s Space, such a phenomenon would occur.
As everyone knows.
The divine phenomena cannot be artificially replicated.
Baiyu using the Moon Prisoner ability and seeing the Black Moon phenomenon, has certainly gone beyond the realm of common sense.
No wonder the man was so agitated.
