Free Web NovelChapter 78: Chapter 78: The Scheming Evil Fallen Bai Mou
The Xie Mo Corner growing on Bai Wu’s body gave him an immediate feeling of becoming a Ghost God Child, with devil horns strong enough to pierce metal sprouting from his elbows, shoulders, and knees.
His entire forearms were covered with demonic eyes, making them somewhat reminiscent of Hong Yin’s body.
These eyes naturally extended his vision, allowing Bai Wu to observe any position without blind spots.
But indeed, only his original pair of eyes could see the annotations.
Spreading his tattered bone wings, he resembled an ancient demon of The Undead descending upon the world, and this feeling of being filled with power made Bai Wu think that being an Evil Fallen might not be too bad after all.
Until he suddenly realized... he seemed to have lost a certain part of himself, and that immediately changed his perspective.
Yes, being human is better. Although some parts are mostly unused, an eighteen-centimeter thing can’t just disappear without a trace.
Bai Wu didn’t immerse himself in this feeling of power. There were only one hundred and eighty seconds left.
Exactly three minutes, during the process of becoming an Evil Fallen, he had calculated all the possible outcomes of the battle.
"The bomb is going to explode, Return Roulette takes one minute to activate, I must kill it within two minutes, break the Reincarnation rule, and then send Dwarf back," he thought.
"But how will I get back? Once the mummy dies, the area’s Reincarnation ends, and I won’t be able to revert to my human form from a few minutes ago, so I could not return to the High Tower."
Evil Fallen entering the High Tower will be thoroughly purified in an instant. Bai Wu found himself in a dilemma.
If he didn’t kill the mummy, the Reincarnation rule couldn’t be broken, and the captain wouldn’t be able to return to the High Tower.
If he killed the mummy, the Reincarnation rule would be void, and he wouldn’t be able to turn back into a human.
This problem troubled Bai Wu for about 0.7 seconds,
"The situation is not insoluble, as long as I can take control of Reincarnation!"
To take control of Reincarnation, there was naturally only one way, to use Taotie.
Previously, Bai Wu was afraid to change into an adversary’s shape and worried about exposing himself in front of the captain.
But now that he was an Evil Fallen, one that looked even more like a demon than Illidan Stormrage himself, making some strange moves was completely logical.
The mummy felt a tremendous threat.
Two anomalies had occurred in this area today: no humans had appeared here for seven hundred years, nor had there ever been a seventh-level mutation like the Evil Fallen.
It originated from an experiment seven hundred years ago, the face under its bandages long unrecognized, but just like its Mutation Entry, it seemed to live forever in a certain period, endlessly reincarnating.
In the era it knew, it was impossible for humans to confront an Evil Fallen head-on.
The apocalypse came gradually; first, more and more people mutated into Evil Fallens, then various physical laws became chaotic, and next, people discovered many weapons were rendered useless.
Not just weapons, but all sorts of machinery they prided themselves on, became junk under the strange rules outside the tower.
Back then, as an Evil Fallen, it abandoned its past human sorrow, no longer the bottom of the pyramid’s slaves but the top predator in the food chain! freeweɓnovel.cøm
It had seen countless humans become Evil Fallens, with only a very few whose resentment was too strong causing over-level mutations; the rest invariably started from the very bottom, climbing up level by level.
But how could this human mutate directly into a seventh-level Evil Fallen? Is his plight greater than mine?
Bai Wu’s thoughts were much simpler compared to the mummy’s full head of question marks.
He used the Xie Mo Corners on his elbows and knees as weapons, then attacked with Muay Thai techniques.
This martial art made effective use of elbows and knees, and the Xie Mo Corners were like the mightiest spears, effortlessly breaching the mummy’s defenses.
However, relying on Weakness Transfer and Flesh Fusion, although Bai Wu’s strikes landed again and again, they felt like they were hitting sand.
The powerful force of his punches directly pierced through the mummy’s body. The bandages unfurled, and particles of its dust-like body flitted through the air.
Bai Wu’s assault was fierce, but most of the force was dissipated by the mummy’s unique constitution.
But it was all within Bai Wu’s calculations, as only by hitting the mummy’s weak spots could he truly hurt it. During the ten-odd seconds of the attack, Bai Wu deliberately missed the weak spots with every punch.
He pretended to be unable to sense weaknesses, patiently observing his opponent’s Weakness Transfer trajectory tendencies through feedback notes, all the while gradually numbing the other party.
One hundred and sixty seconds left until the explosion.
The numerous eyes on his arms provided Bai Wu with an absolute field of vision, allowing him to clearly catch the disdain in the mummy’s eyes. freewёbnoνel.com
That was precisely the outcome he had hoped for.
One hundred fifty-five seconds.
Bai Wu’s attacks began to grow increasingly disordered, and though he threw dozens of punches, each failed to inflict any harm.
This scene made Wu Jiu very anxious and even caused a slight increase in his negative emotions, carrying a sense of outrage that Bai Wu was not up to par!
Bai Wu’s fist technique was chaotic, starting off with some semblance of form, but soon he seemed to realize that he could not harm the mummy and began to appear somewhat frantic and frustrated.
Even his hit rate had significantly dropped.
Moreover, from the combatively astute Wu Jiu’s perspective, Bai Wu was full of openings, giving his opponent the opportunity to counterattack at any moment.
As expected, the mummy’s bandages unfurled once again.
Like venomous snakes, they no longer fluttered lightly in the air but launched a sudden offensive against Bai Wu.
At the same moment, Bai Wu’s gaze swept past the mummy’s weak spot as if by accident.
It was a tiny crystal, as fine as dust.
Blending into the mummy’s gravel-like body, it was indistinguishable. Typically moving between the bandages, but at that moment, it finally became stationary!
As the bandages started wrapping around Bai Wu, he said:
"Captain, get ready to sever my right arm!"
Bai Wu’s eyes were sharper than ever as he executed an extremely flexible Thomas Flair before the tightening bandages could entangle him fully, using the Xie Mo Corner on his joints to slice through them.
All of this happened in an instant.
But Wu Jiu, whose speed was unmatched in the world, could clearly see every one of Bai Wu’s actions, or rather, the potential meaning behind each.
Was Bai Wu waiting for an opportunity?
Was that previous flurry of wild punches all intentional?
Wu Jiu quickly realized that Bai Wu had a combat style completely different from his own.
Perhaps from the start of the battle, this young man had already calculated how to counter the enemy?
"Kill!"
Bai Wu’s body was once again engulfed by bandages, but the Xie Mo Corner on his right elbow aligned for a moment with a spot on the left side of the mummy’s waist.
With the force of his calves, he shot towards the mummy like an arrow released from a bow, just before the probing bandages, which resembled a group of snakes, could reach him.
He missed.
The punch, which carried all his strength, did not target the mummy’s weak spot, but deviated slightly.
Bai Wu’s eyes were fixed on the mummy’s, as if he hadn’t noticed the so-called weakness at all.
In the mummy’s eyes remained a mocking contempt, for no matter how fierce Bai Wu’s punch was, it was ultimately in vain.
But the next second, the entire cargo hold was suddenly filled with an unimaginable murderous intent.
A supremely powerful blade force tore open Bai Wu’s right shoulder!
Wu Jiu’s blade emerged abruptly from its sheath, revealing the duo’s true lethal move!
