Chapter 216 "Los Angeles"

"Bai Jie?"

Ye Ming's tone was full of surprise.

Even with the extraordinary power of the "Eye of Heavenly Awareness," she was still unable to fully see or understand what Hyakusuke had done in that instant.

In an instant, the monster created a realm called "Hell," which was another dimension completely under its control.

The moment the opponent unleashed this ability, a power that distorted the laws of nature was generated. The monster seemed to be creating another "world," and even the surrounding air became incredibly stagnant, as if it had plunged into sticky mud.

The monster's power caused the void and the earth to light up with colorful halos resembling the circular patterns on peacock feathers. Within the seven-colored light, pairs of eerie eyes appeared in the void, like slowly rotating vortexes.

The sluggish feeling made Ye Ming feel extremely uncomfortable.

This is because space is folded and distorted multiple times, making the air molecules in the atmosphere extremely thin.

It's difficult to breathe smoothly in this place; the laws of this space are no longer stable, and everything that changes has fallen into chaos and out of control.

In fact, the insight of the "Eye of Heaven" warned her that if she took a step forward here, she would be swallowed by the distorted forces and the rifts that tore through space—another realm that she could not fight against, nor find a flaw in, to break through the status quo.

She knew very well that if she swung her sword here, it would break, and any random movement would result in her being swallowed up by the distorted and fractured space and shattered.

This is a terrifying demonic technique created by monsters, distorting the original appearance of the world.

'So even the Eye of Heavenly Awakening can't break through this state?'

She murmured to herself.

The power wielded by the monsters was created through the distortion and cutting of space, resulting in a realm that was neither this world nor another.

A distorted and fractured alternate dimension, filled with power from the alternate dimension of "Hell".

Ye Ming is like an artist holding a paintbrush. No matter how outstanding her skills are, she cannot paint or modify on the canvas on the other side of the distance as long as she is separated by distance.

However, with just a casual sword strike, Hyakusuke cleaved the alternate dimension created by the monster in two right before her eyes.

The horizontal swing of the sword caused the colorful extradimensional space to collapse, and countless eyeball-like dimensional vortexes swirled in the void and near the earth before gradually disappearing.

boom!
The earth trembled, and the dimensional feathers covering the surface shattered, turning into countless colorful fragments that were swallowed and absorbed by the ground.

In the past, the "Ten Thousand Flowers Sealed Realm Heavenly Dog Path Nirvana," which once wiped out hundreds of high-level demon-slaying masters, along with three generals and powerful warriors among the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land, leaving no trace of their flesh and blood, was thus severed in two and scattered to the winds.

At the same time, the monster reappeared, leaving even the demon in shock.

"How is this possible? How did you do that...?"

"How?"

Bai Jie carried the precious sword, Shui Jin Jian, on his shoulder, his voice carrying a hint of nonchalance.

"It's just an alternate dimension created by 'distortion' and 'severance,' or rather, a multi-layered closed space technique. Although you've added some original technology to connect this thing to the hell dimension, it's not exactly interesting."

He sighed.

"On the contrary, to sever this domain, one must use the moment of swinging the sword to cut off all the connections in one go."

Cut it off in one go.

The monsters were completely speechless at this statement.

"So you broke my secret technique 'Myriad Blossoms Sealing Realm Heavenly Dog Path Nirvana' using this method?"

That's right!

This spatial technique is composed of more than a thousand continuously activated distortions and fault structures. To cleave and sever it, one must see through more than a thousand different spatial distortion points in an instant and then destroy them with a single strike.

Even though the other party spoke very casually, Ye Ming knew clearly that it was not so; the power contained in that strike was far more complex than he had imagined.

She carefully recalled everything that had just happened. Thanks to the insight of the Eye of Heaven, even though she couldn't see the whole picture, it was enough for her to see through part of it. When that slash came down, Bai Jie saw through her opponent's movements a step ahead.

No, that's no longer simply about seeing through the enemy's methods.

'It's the eye... He also possesses the Eye of Heavenly Awareness, and when he cut through that space, he also used spatial cutting; otherwise, there would have been no way to break that secret technique...'

The key is to "stick" the blade tip to more than a thousand spatial distortion points, because it is impossible to cut smoothly with just one cut, and only spatial magic can achieve this.

The girl's heart was filled with doubt.

She couldn't understand what was happening before her eyes, why Hyakusuke could use his "superpower" in an instant, and why only monsters could wield the power of spatial cutting.

Is the person standing in front of me really Hyakusuke?

Facing this familiar person, the object of her affection, she felt only a strong sense of unfamiliarity.

"Your moves are still as long and boring as ever! Come to think of it, it's about time you changed your pointless taste... Mephisto."

Hyakusuke shook his head, mocking as he took a step forward.

"Are we that close? But you're definitely a dangerous guy."

The monster kicked the ground hard and flew backward.

Based on some intuitive inference, it came to the conclusion that the current situation was extremely dangerous and thus conceived the idea of ​​retreating.

"is that useful?"

Bai Jie took a step forward with the fluidity of flowing water and swung down the knife in his hand.

The slash shattered the monster's raised wrists, and the monster itself was severed from between its eyebrows, its head instantly split in two with a crisp sound like a twig breaking, and its entire body was also split in two.

"what?"

The monster was severed from head to toe, and its body was also covered with many special defensive and regeneration spells. However, this one cut made its body break in two like paper. This one cut seemed to destroy its life and destroy the vitality of this powerful being.

With a thud, the body, split in two, fell backward into its own sea of ​​black blood, black smoke seeping from the body parts.

'If it had descended in its entirety, it wouldn't be so pathetic; unfortunately, it's just a degraded clone…'

Bai Jie sighed softly.

The true "seat of banter, entertainment, and the cacophony of flies and demons," that is, the Great Demonic Fate and Fallen Heaven, is certainly not this weak.

The real Mephistopheles is a cunning and evil enemy, and the strongest among the five demon kings. Even if I were to personally confront him, it would take me a lot of effort.

"He... he died just like that?"

Hank, who was almost cut in half, was still alive despite being an alchemist.

He looked up at Bai Jie's figure, feeling a deep sense of incomprehension about the current situation.

The monster's true trump card was far beyond his expectations. To be honest, the moment Hank saw the opponent unleash that large-scale spatial spell, he was left with only a trace of despair.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, his so-called "preparations" were simply a joke.

However, Hank also had a question: what was the background of this Chunin named Hyakusuke?
"...On another note, the current plot development is a bit difficult to maintain, isn't it?"

Standing to the side, Hyakusuke leisurely slung the precious sword over his shoulder, remaining motionless in his original posture.

The shadow beneath his feet twitched, as if something had returned to the shadow.

"Baijie."

Ye Ming didn't notice Xiao Qiu's disappearance. She hurriedly walked over and asked in a low voice, "Are you...are you alright?"

"..."

Hyakusuke hesitated for a moment before revealing an expression that seemed to say, "Are you calling me?"

"No, it's nothing..."

He smiled slightly, and Ye Ming felt a pang of panic; she found the smile strangely unfamiliar.

"By the way, could I borrow this knife again?"

"Knife?"

"yes……"

Hyakusuke sighed helplessly: "After all, the battle is not over. Even if I recover, some people will definitely not let it go. That guy will definitely come after me again."

"Y-really?"

Ye Ming nodded incoherently.

She didn't actually understand what the other person meant, yet she felt that the person in front of her had become unusually distant.

It wasn't a matter of physical distance, but rather that the two were talking as if separated by a barrier, as if one person were a completely different person.

He was indeed the person she liked, but he had become powerful and exuded a strong sense of stability, as if no problem could stump him. The man before her possessed immense power and confidence, as if he could grasp any desire, and even defeat that powerful monster.

It's not him... completely different.

Ye Ming realized this again.

The other person's facial features were the same as before, but his temperament and deeper aspects were different. His strong eyebrows carried a sense of stability and were full of strong confidence, even a sense of aloofness and arrogance born from that confidence.

She couldn't find any of the "features" she knew in the other person. The person she knew was gentle and kind, and humble to everyone.

They always sacrifice themselves to help others, only to end up battered and bruised. Yet, when faced with dangers far beyond their capabilities, they remain fearless and unyielding.

He is no longer himself.

So... who exactly is this person?
"Who are you?"

She blurted out those words without thinking.

"oops."

Bai Jie looked troubled.

"You saw it."

He gave a cold expression.

"Indeed... from your perspective, that's how it is..."

Ye Ming reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his left hand.

"You are not him... Where is he now?"

Bai Jie gently waved her hand away.

"Sorry, not right now."

In that instant, Ye Ming felt a tremendous shock, as well as a sense of rejection.

"This body originally belonged to me; I should say that I am who I am."

Bai Jie sighed: "Because of various circumstances, things have turned out this way... Well, actually, you know this too, right, young master of the Yue Jialuo family."

His voice was flat, but to Ye Ming, it was a voice that was utterly ruthless.

Ye Ming felt as if struck by lightning. Yes, she had always known the other party's true identity.

Her "master," namely Kurohime Mikaku, had told her about what happened to Hyakusuke and about the Shizuki clan.

She lowered her head, her eyes were red, and her shoulders began to tremble.

"...Give it back to me."

The girl made a sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Bai Jie didn't hear him at first, but the next second, she grabbed the corner of his sleeve tightly.

"give me back."

Her voice was trembling.

Those faint, trembling words finally reached my ears.

Bai Jie was stunned, and this time he didn't shake off her hand.

"give me back."

The girl's voice was filled with unconcealed sorrow, but she still straightened her back, mustered her courage, and resolutely spoke.

"give me back."

“Give him back to me.”

Tears welled in her eyes as she pleaded desperately in a sobbing tone.

"Give it back to me...please, give it back to me."

A bitter smile appeared on Hyakusuke's face.

"The way you put it makes it sound like I've done something wrong... Besides, I'm not something that can be given away just because someone wants me—"

Suddenly, his expression changed; his relaxed demeanor instantly turned serious.

"Alright, there's no time for this. The young master of the Yue Jialuo family... that guy is coming again."

Click.

The lines of space cracked open, and a portal formed in the void. A crimson dragon poked its head out from the portal, spitting out a tongue like flames.

A tall figure appeared on the fiery tongue, dressed in a suit-like outfit and leather shoes, coldly surveying everyone present.

Both Ye Ming and Hank, who was not quite dead yet and was using healing magic to save himself, felt a chilling sense of oppression.

"There are just too many irrelevant people."

He has a face that is somewhat similar to Hyakusuke's, but upon closer inspection, one can also find some differences.

This unfamiliar man gave off an even colder feeling, and his attitude was like an unyielding iceberg.

"Let's go."

Bai Jie sighed and nudged Ye Ming.

"Take the others with you and leave this island. The battle ahead is too dangerous and will drag the others into it... Also, 'I' will be back in a while."

Ye Ming's face was streaked with tears, yet he remained hesitant.

"Come on."

He urged again.

Ye Ming seemed to realize something and quickly dragged Hank out of the hall.

No sooner had she left than a figure excitedly pounced from Bai Jie's shadow.

"Lololololololo City!"

Xiaoqi rushed over and hugged his arm tightly.

"You're so well-behaved, Hagi."

As if he already knew everything, Hyakusuke was not surprised at all by Kohagi's actions. He reached out and ruffled Kohagi's silver hair.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Hmm, hmm... Los Angeles."

The silver-haired girl's mind and actions were like those of a child, constantly muttering his name while rubbing against his body like a cat.

"Thank you for always doing as I instructed."

While soothingly stroking the girl who was clinging to her like a child, Hyakusuke shifted his gaze to the man in the suit jacket.

"...Would you mind giving us a little time? Anyway, I don't have a chance to escape, do I?"

"can."

The man responded calmly.

Bai Jie smiled, then embraced the silver-haired girl and disappeared into the shadows.

Inside the pitch-black shadow was a space resembling a folded space.

"Los Angeles, I miss you so much!"

Xiaoqi giggled as she clung tightly to him, desperately whispering sweet nothings about how much she loved him, as if she could see him in person.

"I know……"

Bai Jie smiled slightly, and they pressed their foreheads together.

"I know about Xiaoqi's efforts, but time is of the essence right now, so please listen carefully to what I have to say..."

He transmits his will by compressing memories and information and by "reciting words".

—From now on, you will be the one to do these things for me.
