Free Web NovelChapter 510: Chapter 127: Jing Wu’s Inner Demons
Beneath the Mirror Reflection Barrier, when the disintegrated Evil Fallen reappeared as energy, he was a bit dazed.
"Didn’t I die?"
At this moment, the reaction of the mirror image Evil Fallen was just like the many people on the death flight who had been disintegrated and then restored by the power of twist.
He still maintained the pose of spreading his arms to support the barrier, but due to the reverse flow of time in the area, everything was as it had been before his death.
The only difference was that another person had appeared in front of him.
"Bai Wu..."
"He saved me."
Resurrection was naturally an exciting event, although his body was completely beyond his control in this domain— a powerful force was causing past and present to occur in sync.
Beneath the twist, his consciousness was in a state of chaos.
It was like two paths, one following the normal course of time, the other moving against it.
The consciousness moving forward in time observed the surroundings, wondering why it had died.
The consciousness moving backward was more like a rewind of all his mental activities just before death.
The reason for this counteracting consciousness was because the process of reversing time also required time.
If it was pure temporal power, changing the rules of time and space would bring a person to a special point in time.
It’s like the First Generation could use the fusion disease to travel to a special time and space.
But the direction of time wouldn’t change; he was merely switching seats on the wheel of time.
What Bai Wu was doing, however, was twisting, making the rules run in reverse.
One could feel the process of time rewinding, yet time itself hadn’t actually reversed.
It was a convoluted concept, but twist was something like what Bai Wu believed— there was no need to understand it, just feel it.
The feeling of the mirror image Evil Fallen— this was all too wonderful.
Today was definitely the most remarkable day of his life.
He had boundless luck— having harvested the tears of a comrade just before his death.
But also infinite regret— not being able to feel that luck before having to die.
Now, with Bai Wu’s domain unfolding, he was resurrected, and he had no more regrets!
What was left was to pray that Bai Wu could defeat the enemy before them.
...
...
Within the All Things Decomposition Domain, Jing Wu fully unleashed his attributes and began to catalyze the domain, regardless of the cost.
He indeed couldn’t resist the powerful Origin Level strength, but Jing Wu believed that Bai Wu’s technique couldn’t be sustained for long.
Last time Bai Wu had only used it once before he was extremely weakened.
This time, having fully mastered the All Things Decomposition Domain, he believed he could endure until Bai Wu was exhausted.
That was Jing Wu’s plan, and it was entirely feasible.
Only as Bai Wu’s domain continued to erode his own...
And as he began to feel weakness and fatigue...
Bai Wu showed no sign of falling.
The gigantic spherical domain was like an apple bitten into, and the bite was still expanding.
Recalling that Bai Wu’s aura had been very off, Jing Wu became extremely wary.
Suddenly, he retreated as quickly as possible, pulling back a hundred zhang.
At the same time, Bai Wu also released his Well domain.
Separated by several hundred meters from Jing Wu, Bai Wu appeared extremely fatigued.
Gasping heavily, his body slightly bent, standing seemed to require effort.
Jing Wu thought to himself that this was indeed the case, and looking at the fatigued Bai Wu from a distance, his excitement soared.
In the next moment, Jing Wu appeared close in front of Bai Wu.
"Although in my plan, you weren’t supposed to die on the flight, seeing you alive still surprises me greatly."
Jing Wu was also breathing somewhat rapidly, but compared to Bai Wu, he clearly had much more stamina left.
As for the surprise... it wasn’t just surprise, or rather surprise was insufficient to describe his current mood.
Bai Wu’s survival under those circumstances actually filled Jing Wu with a degree of fear.
But his pride wouldn’t allow him to fear.
Facing Bai Wu, Jing Wu always believed that although Bai Wu made progress time after time, there ultimately was an insurmountable gap between them.
Bai Wu gasped for air, and despite appearing at a disadvantage, his presence did not concede a single bit:
"What’s the matter, afraid to clash domains with me?"
Jing Wu mocked:
"Bai Wu, I must admit, you are my archenemy, utterly different from these ants. In every battle, you are my biggest obstacle."
"I may have been the first to get here, but that doesn’t mean I was the only one. I still have enough energy left to deploy my domain, but I don’t need to do so. I’ve already seen the weakness of your twist power."
"Your domain costs you too much physical strength."
Last time on the flight, Bai Wu suddenly had ten times the vitality.
That’s why there was a confrontation with Jing Si. But such a powerful trump card couldn’t possibly be used a second time.
Bai Wu did not deny it, and he didn’t care at all about showing his exhausted state in front of everyone.
"It’s true that it consumed a lot, but I need to correct one thing, don’t treat me as your arch-enemy, there is no need to be so demeaning. How about accumulating some verbal karma? Or perhaps, stop gilding yourself?"
A vein popped on Jing Wu’s forehead.
Bai Wu continued to speak:
"Arch-enemy? At least that requires being on the same level, whether in strength or intelligence, in which aspect are you my match?"
"First, let’s talk about our battle record. Have you beaten me? I don’t seem to recall."
"Now, let’s talk about your forces. When those merchant blacksmiths of yours were still around, you barely had two subordinates with an intelligence to match yours. What about now?"
"And look at my side. Even when I wasn’t here, my companions pushed you to use your last resort."
"Tch, honestly, I was quite worried. If you hadn’t suddenly mastered ’Disassemble Everything’, could you even have touched High Tower’s skin?"
"Oh, I’m sorry, I misspoke. It sounded as if you actually had."
"After all, now that I’m here, using top-notch horses against your inferior ones, it’s impossible for you to touch High Tower’s skin anymore."
"But you don’t need to be too sad. Having a half-day tour of High Tower and seeing it yourself is not a loss, right?"
In terms of mockery, ten Jing Wu’s couldn’t match Bai Wu.
Jing Wu’s emotion exploded in an instant.
A fierce wind rose abruptly, and the terrifying force of the fist swept through everything!
Eerie black matter concentrated on Jing Wu’s fists, turning into a black spear that thrust straight at Bai Wu.
The unfolding of domain-to-domain confrontation was merely a pure comparison of physical strength.
Jing Wu was sure he could win, but before that... he wanted to use the Well Level power to thoroughly torment Bai Wu.
At this moment—because his defenses were broken through words, Jing Wu made two mistakes.
The first mistake, he overlooked the reason for Bai Wu’s vitality becoming stronger earlier.
When Jing Wu approached Bai Wu at high speed, anger’s red light intertwined with sorrow’s blue light.
Bai Wu could now use the powers of these two emotions freely.
Red and blue lights interwoven with black lines clashed continually in the heavens and earth.
With each collision, Jing Wu’s body accumulated wounds.
Under the influence of that strange blue energy... Jing Wu’s healing ability kept decreasing, and the healing speed of his wounds also kept slowing down.
Not just that, the blue light that seemed to freeze all vitality was also affecting Jing Wu’s overall abilities.
Karmic Fire left visible wounds on his body, while the cold blue light kept weakening Jing Wu.
The close range confrontation between Bai Wu and Jing Wu... revealed a one-sided suppression!
Moving at high speed, Jing Wu went from the hunter to the hunted.
Li You saw Bai Wu for the first time from a distance.
Although he had sensed this person through Wu Jiu, he did not expect the aura emanating from Bai Wu upon truly meeting him... to be no weaker than his own.
Jing Wu was extremely puzzled:
"Impossible... how could he suddenly keep up with my speed?"
"It’s not just speed... vitality, defense, strength... all have significantly increased."
At a loss, Jing Wu failed to understand how the figure of Bai Wu appeared in several places amidst the hundred meters in the sky.
Jing Wu was being hit repeatedly like a bouncing ball.
The dreadful ongoing attacks burst forth in the air, creating strong gusts, and it seemed as if the entire battlefield suddenly resounded with the sound of war drums.
As the drum beats thundered, Jing Wu’s body kept breaking apart!
How Jing Wu once beat Bai Wu in the shelter, Bai Wu returned the favor in kind!
And with each intense collision, Jing Wu also realized—
Bai Wu’s strength, was very plentiful.
Everything was fake, all the prior display was Bai Wu’s deception, aiming to trick him into getting closer!
This despicable and disgusting human!
Jing Wu wanted to flee the battlefield, but now... his body had not touched the ground.
Game rules regarding floating as a controlled state had some basis.
Bai Wu’s terrifying barrage of attacks always took place at low altitudes, ensuring that Jing Wu had no point from which to push back!
And Jing Wu’s second mistake—was letting down his domain, overlooking the enemy more troublesome than Bai Wu.
"That domain is lifted, huh?" Li You rotated his neck, warming up his hands.
"Ah, looking at it now, Bai Wu won’t give him a second chance to activate his domain," Wu Jiu drew his sword.
All those who had retreated turned back around and re-entered a state of readiness.
With the support from Mirror Evil Fallen and Bai Wu’s arrival, this battle which was nearly a major defeat took a turn!
In front of Jing Wu... there were no Evil Fallen.
All Evil Fallen had been ’Disassemble Everything’.
Behind Jing Wu, there should have been a never-ending supply of new Evil Fallen.
"""
But in the city of Evil Fallen, there stood a peerless monster who alone guarded the pass...
The battlefront between Evil Fallen City and High Tower had been severed.
Therefore, there were no Evil Fallen beings behind Jing Wu.
Over the vast battlefield, there was only one enemy.
An incredibly powerful enemy, yet absolutely not as mighty as the human forces.
The terrifying black claws appeared in the air, while a powerful white light also slashed through the sky.
And on the other side of Jing Wu, another huge mirror barrier emerged, cutting off his retreat.
In the middle of the battlefield, Cain gazed at Bai Wu, lost in thought.
The outcome of this battle had already become clear.
Using his domain, Jing Wu was no match for Bai Wu; his powerful domain would instantly cause Jing Wu to vanish.
Without using a domain...
Without a domain, it was even worse; this was not a duel but simply a massacre.
With the addition of Li You and Wu Jiu, Jing Wu had completely lost the power to fight back.
The three of them seemed not to be battling someone but testing the resilience of a Well Level punching bag.
Karmic Fire, claws, cold glints, slashing...
The most formidable attacks bombarded Jing Wu without respite.
Jing Wu, in utter humiliation, could no longer make any attempt to resist.
Seeing Bai Wu, who apparently still had plenty of physical strength and was handling the battle with ease, Jing Wu felt despair for the first time.
He grew fearful...of this human.
His consciousness began to disperse amid the horrifying onslaught.
Jing Wu recalled the first time he made contact with Bai Wu...back then, Bai Wu had just won against the God of Wealth in the casino.
In his eyes, Bai Wu was somewhat unique because Bai Wu, in his Evil Fallen form, could actually use Sequences.
He still didn’t understand why Bai Wu, a pure human, could achieve such an exception?
But back then, Bai Wu was just an ant.
He thought that Bai Wu could be his guard.
And Bai Wu could find that ship, so he told Bai Wu the news about that ship.
And this news came from Jing Liu.
The second time he met Bai Wu was in Mechanical City. When he was convinced that Bai Wu was still so weak, he dismissed the concerns in his heart...
This was just an ordinary human, even if somewhat peculiar and with some doubts...but that was all.
Yet that time was Jing Wu’s most humiliating defeat.
The third time, Bai Wu finally revealed something that surprised Jing Wu.
Drinking Well Water and not dying...led Jing Wu to begin to doubt.
But Bai Wu still hadn’t surpassed him, only mastered a domain that could harm his second brother.
He also didn’t realize how terrifying that domain was.
Not until the fourth encounter with Bai Wu did Jing Wu think that he could take away Jing San’s power with Disassemble Everything...
Only then did he understand why his second brother had been so determined to kill Bai Wu in the first place.
But everything...was already too late.
Bai Wu step by step grew stronger, from a minor character he didn’t even need to seriously consider...to a powerful monster who would not bother to look at him directly!
"I...I’ve lost completely!"
Huge humiliation and regret surged within Jing Wu’s heart.
"Why didn’t I kill him when I had the chance! Even if Zero gravely wounded me, I should have killed him!!"
His body broke apart bit by bit, his vitality gradually reaching the threshold of death.
Jing Wu was very aware that he wouldn’t die.
But he couldn’t feel any sense of triumph anymore.
Humiliation and anger would eventually fade beneath the immense pain.
But fear would only deepen more and more.
His body was slowly disappearing, and it was just a matter of time before he would return to Black Gold Island in a ghostly form.
Yet he couldn’t even muster the feeling of reluctance anymore.
If Jing Wu had an Inner World, then in this world, Bai Wu’s image would be that of a towering wall.
A sky-high wall. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
He lived on the other side of the wall, beneath the vast shadow of the towering wall.
His spirit was ashen; the ambition brought by Reconstruction and Disassemble Everything had been pulverized by Bai Wu’s fists in this battle!
"Let me go back...end it quickly! End this damned fight quickly!"
At the moment when the battle ended, when Jing Wu was completely destroyed by the massive force...
He suddenly felt a trace of relief.
I don’t have to face this guy anymore...I just have to hide in my Black Gold Island.
High Tower?
As his consciousness was fading, Jing Wu glanced at the towering High Tower piercing into the clouds.
Nothing else mattered anymore, as long as he no longer had to face Bai Wu.
...
...
The battle had ended.
On the other side of the ravine, at the far end of the massive battlefield.
Wu Jiu, Li You, Bai Wu, and Mirror Evil Fallen were positioned at the four corners.
Silence enveloped the entire battlefield.
Qin Zong, Zheng Yue, Lin Wurou, Wang Shi... everyone had seen Jing Wu and felt his terrifying power.
So they couldn’t imagine—this was the victory of the battle.
Bai Wu was very satisfied with this outcome.
Punch after punch, to beat a Well Level to death with his bare hands likely used up as much energy as it would to open a domain.
But Bai Wu knew very well that creatures of the Well Level couldn’t be killed.
It was like a curse, they would always come back to life.
Fortunately, after having seen Jing San, Bai Wu understood a way to kill a Well Level being.
The body may not die, but the spirit can be killed.
In this battle, Bai Wu completely overpowered Jing Wu, utterly crushing his confidence.
Maybe one day in the future, Jing Wu might suddenly rally, might find an opportunity, might be blessed by fortune.
But when that day truly comes, Bai Wu was confident he could shatter Jing Wu’s self-esteem again.
The battle hadn’t ended yet, but before the next wave of enemies arrived, there was a brief respite on the battlefield.
Bai Wu’s gaze fell upon the cat girl, recalling how in the half a year he had been away from the captain, this woman had saved him countless times...
He felt conflicted. While looking at Li You, his thoughts drifted to Ruan Qingyun.
Actually, Bai Wu had arrived on the battlefield much earlier, way back when Yan Zizai was bidding farewell to the High Tower; Bai Wu had already been present.
The experience on the seventh level—unexpectedly brief.
The reason for not taking action was Bai Wu planned to lend a hand to Mirror Evil Fallen.
It was during this time that Bai Wu saw Li You, and the woman’s feelings for the captain were definitely not ordinary.
"Damn, as a firm holder of Ruan stocks, I won’t end up on the rooftop, will I?"
A thought flickered, and Bai Wu shook his head.
The captain wasn’t Bai Yuan; such things that happen to the harem male protagonist wouldn’t happen to the captain.
He definitely wouldn’t do wrong by the boss lady.
But then... what will Li You do when the time comes?
Bai Wu was worried.
But then he thought, the love triangle isn’t happening to me, why am I getting worked up?
So Bai Wu suddenly laughed.
"My name is Bai Wu, nice to meet you. Thank you for looking after the captain before."
Li You had felt somewhat uncomfortable under Bai Wu’s stare just now.
Then seeing Bai Wu alternate between laughing and appearing anxious, she thought he was very strange.
But she still responded:
"You can call me Li You, your captain is my servant."
"Being a servant is good, not on the same social level," Bai Wu chimed in.
Wu Jiu furrowed his brows, finding this remark a bit odd, but he didn’t pay it much mind.
Bai Wu had once again made a timely appearance, saving Mirror Evil Fallen, which Wu Jiu was grateful for.
Wu Jiu asked:
"Where were you before this?"
"That’s a long story. Considering that the enemy attacking the High Tower might have many backup plans, I went to take some precautionary measures."
Wu Jiu didn’t quite understand.
Bai Wu smiled:
"The captain doesn’t need to worry, everything went fairly smoothly."
"Is this battle over?" Mirror Evil Fallen suddenly spoke up from behind.
Wu Jiu and Li You were also interested in this question.
The entire battlefield was now devoid of enemies. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The formidable Well Level being had been dealt with. The battle to defend the High Tower seemed to have ended.
Bai Wu shook his head:
"In fact, this battle hasn’t even started yet."
