Chapter Seventy-Three: I Have Teammates
The sword strike from the Reincarnator was astonishingly powerful, causing every hair on Bai Luo's body to stand on end. However, Bai Luo was not fighting alone.
The main sword of the formation came to a sudden halt right in front of Bai Luo's forehead.
Or perhaps it struck somewhere else.
The space above Bai Luo's head cracked like glass, accompanied by a chilling sound of shattering. The space fragmented layer by layer, and the full-force attack from the Daoist Reincarnator was redirected and dispersed into every corner of the mirrored space.
Supreme Sorcerer Gu Yi stood on the ground, looking up to see the chaotic flashes of sword light swirling throughout the entire space.
Under her control, the world split more intricately to dissipate the fierce impact of this attack.
Bai Luo had already reacted; his teammates were doing great, and he certainly couldn't fall behind. Sadako and Mizumura Memeko had successfully launched their ambush. The Daoist let out a shriek, but Bai Luo charged forward directly, pulling out a gleaming dagger from his Item Storage Talisman and aiming it straight at the Daoist's chest.
However, at that moment, the Reincarnator, who had been howling under the dual assault of Sadako and Mizumura Memeko, surprisingly managed to react—he reached out and firmly grasped Bai Luo's wrist with one hand.
The speed and strength were astonishing; however, Sadako and Mizumura Memeko were still wreaking havoc in his mind. Bai Luo's dagger still managed to leave a shallow cut on the opponent's wrist, blood oozing out.
But the opponent's strength was incredible; Bai Luo's hand holding the dagger was firmly controlled, unable to advance even an inch.
At that moment, Bai Luo saw the Daoist before him lift his head. Golden light erupted from his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and even beneath his skin. His entire body transformed into a dazzling golden hue, shining brilliantly like a deity. The power in his hand was unfathomable, gripping Bai Luo's wrist like a vice. The divine light in his eyes blazed fiercely; Bai Luo could even see reflections of a deep ancient well in one shimmering eye and a desolate hospital in another.
Yet the dual influence of the Vengeful Spirits seemed not to have completely disoriented him. He continued to stare intently at Bai Luo, radiating golden light that made him appear as formidable as an enraged golden deity. He spoke slowly and deliberately: "Sadako... Mizumura Memeko... and you... what kind of person are you to speak of fighting?"
Bai Luo also fixed his gaze on this person before him. The intensity of his stare did not instill any fear within him because he understood clearly that such a gaze, such a voice, such a question... only meant one thing.
The Daoist had realized that he had reached a dead end.
Therefore, Bai Luo smiled, but he did not answer the other person's question. Instead, he said with a hint of frivolity, "You are a Daoist, so what do you think I am? I am the Law Master, Ruiz."
Bai Luo understood that since the other party asked this question, they had already thought of the answer. This Reincarnator's mind was actually much clearer than the group Bai Luo had encountered in Kansas City before, but his way of acting and thinking patterns destined him for failure.
At this moment, upon hearing Bai Luo's response, the golden light in the Reincarnator's eyes flared up once again. He shouted hoarsely, "You can't kill me! I have the Dao Bone Bloodline; I am a proper B-Class Reincarnator!"
Bai Luo had already raised his hand. With his left hand holding a brush, he drew symbols in mid-air. A yellowish light shield materialized in his palm. Then, he pushed forward, and the light curtain came crashing down towards the Reincarnator before him.
Since ancient times, no one had ever thought of a "shield" as something solely for defense.
The Daoist raised his hand like lightning, bracing himself against the shield that Bai Luo was bringing down with all his might. Golden light burst forth from his hand.
Bai Luo did not expect that a Tortoise Shell Talisman could crush a B-Class Reincarnator. He conjured the first Talisman out of thin air and immediately drew the second and third... Each subsequent Talisman pressed down on the previous one, their glowing incantations overlapping until they formed a solid mass of light. Bai Luo's right hand, which was being controlled by the other party, had already been twisted out of shape, but the Reincarnator was also being forced down inch by inch under the weight of Bai Luo's Talismans.
Then, Bai Luo kicked off and stepped onto the Reincarnator's chest. In that moment of surprise, he pressed down all of his Tortoise Shell Talismans and used this momentum to leap off the Reincarnator's body as they fell through the air. At the same time, he shouted, "Supreme Sorcerer—lock down his Flying Sword!"
The Ancient One understood in an instant; she opened a portal to a mirrored world at Bai Luo's position. They plummeted from several thousand meters in the sky.
Bai Luo's entire body pressed down on the Reincarnator as his left hand continued to hold the brush and draw symbols. Mysterious yellowish Talismans leaped into existence from mid-air and smashed down onto the Reincarnator’s body. The Daoist let out a furious roar as in the mirrored world, that Flying Sword flew around aimlessly without finding a way to return to its master.
Bai Luo leaned closer to the Daoist’s face—at that moment, even the man's thick beard shone golden.
Bai Luo said, "A B-Class Reincarnator can be cut by a dagger; will you fall to your death?"
Every Reincarnator has weaknesses; B-Class Reincarnators are no exception. Especially for this type of Daoist who could command a Flying Sword from miles away to take heads, he was acutely aware that his close combat ability was his weakness. He had reinforced himself at Main God’s place; as long as you have reward points, you can make up for all deficiencies.
In this state, radiating golden light, he seemed to have found a way to compensate for his shortcomings. Under this condition, the influences exerted by Sadako and Mizumura Memeko were largely ignored. His strength increased, and his physical resilience appeared to be enhanced as well. Bai Luo's previous strike had merely cut through his skin.
This enhancement was clearly more comprehensive than Bai Luo's simple Iron Body Talisman, but when it came to physical strength, he was evidently still inferior to the resilience granted to Bai Luo by the talisman.
Thus, when Bai Luo uttered those words, the Daoist's expression finally changed. However, his body had already been firmly suppressed by the multiple Tortoise Shell Talismans that Bai Luo had unleashed. As he plummeted rapidly, he could only cling desperately to Bai Luo's right hand, using all his strength to twist Bai Luo's wrist, even attempting to tear the entire arm off in a bid to inflict enough pain to force Bai Luo to release him.
But Bai Luo would never let go. He had learned a crucial lesson before his journey began.
When you strike your opponent, no matter what happens, you must ensure that they never dare to retaliate against you again, even if it means lying in bed for several days or paying a heavy price.
At this moment, that principle was even simpler.
Until the moment he defeated his opponent, he would not give them a single chance to breathe.
