Chapter 202: Permanent Death?
Colombo tossed Dr Mu’s body aside and his spirit body quickly flew backward!
Shua!
A blood coloured blade flashed out before Colombo! Bai Qi appeared before him, his sword in hand!
The sword in his hand was translucent and a faint red coloured light flowed within it. It had the appearance of flowing blood…
A shocked expression spread out on Colombo’s face and he stared at Bai Qi. “Spirit body?”
Chen Xiaolian stood to the side. He did not step forward; he and Bei Tai simply stood vigilantly at two different corner positions, surrounding Colombo.
As for Colombo… dealing with him was left to Bai Qi.
Chen Xiaolian had absolute confidence in Bai Qi!
When facing an enemy such as Colombo, the one problem they face was that he had a spirit body. Thus, they may not be able to effectively mount an attack against him – however, this was not an issue for Bai Qi!
Bai Qi had appeared from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Back then, he was capable of summoning and commanding those Qin terracotta soldiers who were a form of undead life form. At the same time, Bai Qi was also a ‘War Soul’. At present, Bai Qi could be said to be Chen Xiaolian’s most powerful form of offensive power!
Colombo dodged the first sword attack from Bai Qi. However, his face became increasingly distorted. The originally translucent spirit body of his gradually became paler and more faint!
Bai Qi’s eyes turned fearsome and he slowly raised his sword, pointing the tip at Colombo.
“Barbarian! DIE!”
Bar… barbarian…
Chen Xiaolian rolled his eyes.
Bai Qi actually labelled Colombo as a barbarian?
The origin of the State of Qin is plenty barbaric oh…
Err… but if one were to consider the traditional line of thought, those within China were Chinese while those not from China were barbarians. Under such a perspective, Bai Qi’s claim could be considered eligible from China’s perspective.
…
At least half of the warehouse had collapsed down!
Phoenix was in a dishevelled state. Both her hands were holding onto a piece of talisman each. As for Lun Tai, he stood behind Phoenix in a back-to-back position. In his hand was a military knife that had been affixed with a talisman from Phoenix.
The two of them panted for breath as they stood back-to-back in the middle of two vengeful spirits.
Monster was gasping as he lay on the floor. Judging by his appearance, the amount of damage he took was quite considerable and the wounds upon his body had turned black in colour. There was also a thin layer of frost enveloping his body.
Black Annie’s vengeful spirits had made it through into the warehouse and the Titan brothers had moved into a back-to-back position as well. The firearms in their hands had long since been forsaken. However, it would appear that the twins’ abilities were not suitable against spirit bodies. They were only barely able to hold on; both of them held onto a wooden stick – appearance wise, those sticks resembled magic wands. Strangely however, they were simply using the stick as a torch. They raised the torch up high and brandished it, using the flames of the torch to keep the vengeful spirits at bay.
Dagger though, was performing fairly well. Both his hands were holding onto a blade each and he was squaring off against one of the vengeful spirits. The more he fought, the more valiant he became and was even suppressing the vengeful spirit – however, he appeared inconsiderate of his companions. He continued shouting out as he fought the vengeful spirit. Despite knowing that Phoenix, Monster and the others were not in a good situation, he showed no intention of moving forward to help out. He simply continued fighting against the vengeful spirit in the corner of the warehouse.
In that instant…
A chilling howl echoed out from somewhere far away.
The sharp howl was like the furious roar of a night owl, comparable to tigers and wolves! It was a sharp and piercing sound of that degree!
The moment the four vengeful spirits within the warehouse heard the howl, they reacted in the same manner. Their faces became distorted. Then, they unleashed a shrill howl. In that moment, the entire warehouse became inundated by the shrill and mournful voice, nearly causing their ears to bleed out.
Hu!
The four vengeful spirits made the same move. Without showing any hesitation, they broke away from their current opponent and charged forward in the same direction.
The warehouse instantly fell silent and the remaining people took the opportunity to catch their breaths. The expression on Phoenix’s face turned ugly to behold and she said, “They… they are headed outside! Where did your companion go to?”
Lun Tai struggled to support his own body. He produced a Healing Beast Blood and gulped it down before exhaling. “What is there to ask? Chase them and we’ll find out!”
Phoenix’s eyes flickered and she said, “You… you all had prepared for this! Where is Chen Xiaolian?”
“Our Guild Leader should be outside right now!” Lun Tai grinned.
…
The four vengeful spirits pierced through the night sky, creating a white coloured translucent arc, which descended down from the sky!
Colombo appeared to be in a miserable state as he kept retreating. He dodged to the left and ducked to the right. Bai Qi had one hand placed behind his back while the other hand held onto the sword, brandishing it forward in a seemingly gentle manner. Yet, despite the elegance and gentleness shown by his movements, it also exuded an indescribable force of savagery!
As for Colombo, he had suffered from a few of those stabs. He was a spirit body and Bai Qi’s sword attack did not cause him any harm. However, each time he was struck, he would scream out and his translucent body would grow increasingly dim.
After being struck several times in a row, the light from Colombo’s spirit body had grown ten times weaker. He resembled a spark of fire within a gale that could be put out at any given moment!
It was at that moment that the four vengeful spirits descended from the sky!
Colombo laughed out maniacally and said, “Now, it’s time for you to die!”
He suddenly opened his mouth!
His mouth, which was of a normal size suddenly enlarged to become as big as a basin. Like a whale that was sucking in water, the four vengeful spirits by his side roared and were all sucked into his mouth!
Colombo’s body suddenly expanded and his originally translucent body revealed a faint flow of light. There were hints of solidity coming off his body!
Next, a clump of black qi vigorously flowed out to envelop Colombo’s body.
The scalpel in Colombo’s hand transformed. It expanded and quickly stretched out to become a long half-moon shaped… sickle!
The black qi swirling around Colombo seemingly transformed into a long black cloak.
If one were to observe him from a distance… the swirling black cloak, the long sickle…
He resembled the Western being spoken in the legends…
The Grim Reaper!
…
Bai Qi did not launch an attack. Instead, he took a step back. Positioning his sword behind him, he cast a calm gaze at Colombo who was standing before him.
He continued doing so until Colombo finished his transformation. Colombo’s aura violently exploded out from his body and the swirling black coloured qi spread out. After being enveloped by the black coloured qi, the weeds on the ground instantly withered and turned to ash…
Within the wasteland, the black coloured qi released by Colombo was astonishing, resulting in Bai Qi becoming small and insignificant in appearance!
Colombo’s stature had expanded up to a height of two metres. He looked down on Bai Qi in a condescending manner and spoke with a dark and savage voice, “Now… time to die!”
Bai Qi quietly raised his head, his expression as tranquil as the moon. Then, he slowly said, “Is that how you do battle?”
“… what?”
“Do not just kill; complete the tasks in one move.” Bai Qi gently sighed and he gently wiped his sword with his sleeve [1].
“Ha ha ha ha! I do not know what you’re talking about! However, you may go die!” Colombo laughed out and his sickle descended toward Bai Qi’s head. “I can feel it, you are also an undead! The best sacrificial item! By killing you, I would become even more powerful!”
The sickle descended, bringing the black coloured qi down with it. However, Bai Qi simply raised the translucent short sword in his hand.
As the black qi descended like Mt. Tai, a faint, white coloured radiance flowed out from Bai Qi’s body and was emitted out from the edge of his sword. The light split apart the black coloured qi that was enveloping the sky!
Bai Qi made his move! He appeared displeased as he strode out from within the field enveloped by the black qi. Wherever the light of his sword reached, the black coloured qi would end up being split into two!
Keng!
A clear and sharp sound rang out!
Colombo gave a wretched howl. The large half-moon sickle that he was holding had split into two!
The edge of Bai Qi’s sword split the darkness apart and shot forward. After cleaving the sickle, the edge of the sword descended upon Colombo’s shoulder!
Colombo screamed out in misery and his figure bolted back quickly. As he did, black coloured light spilled out from him.
