Chapter 198 Black Death
The sky was dark and overcast.

An unfinished building stands amidst the weeds on the outskirts of the city. The Eye of Flame sits against the base of the building, its chest caved in, blood trickling from the corner of its mouth, and its eyes gradually losing their luster.

Not far away, the broken and burning Rainbach was billowing black smoke. In the blurry distance, a tall man in armor stood on the wreckage of Rainbach, looking down at her and saying, "What an ignorant fellow."

'Maybe.'
The Eye of Flame lowered its gaze.

As a hunter, her mission and task is to track down wanted criminals who have escaped the law. In order to improve work efficiency, Flame Eye often observes the approximate location of the wanted criminals from a distance outside of work hours.

However, this behavior is not safe. A lone hunter is not strong enough, and if discovered, he will most likely be killed by the wanted criminal, or even suffer a fate worse than death.

'Working overtime really does lead to sudden death.'
She thought silently in her heart.

The broad vision of the visual hunters, along with their past successes, gave Flamelight Eyes unwarranted confidence and the audacity to attempt to track down high-level psionicists.

Unfortunately, she encountered a top-tier psychic skilled in counter-surveillance. A single mistake was enough to cost her her life.

"Well, although I don't think you have any life-saving items, just to be on the safe side, I'll give you a few more hits."

The man slowly raised the long, black staff, his smile deepening as he whispered, "Of course, I won't kill you outright."

"Don't you dare?"

The Eye of Flame laughed mockingly.

"Ha, you think I don't know that you hunters are marked with a death-triggered tracking mark from the moment you sign the contract? That mark automatically marks the person who kills you. If I kill you, I'll be marked. Do you really think I don't know that?"

The man's voice turned cold, and his smile deepened as he said, "I will break all four of your limbs and let you die here alone. Do you have any last words?"

"he came."

A subtle golden light emanated from the depths of the Eye of Flame, and a bright smile appeared on its face, as if it had witnessed something interesting.

"Huh? Who's here?"

The man frowned in confusion, not knowing who the "he" the Eye of Flame was referring to was. This feeling of facing the unknown made him quite uncomfortable.

"The Black Grim Reaper".

The Eye of Flame looked up at the sky, the golden light in its eyes gradually dimming, but the smile on its face grew even stronger.

"baffling."

The man murmured, his unease reaching its peak amidst the smile of the Eye of Flame. He didn't know what the other man had seen in his golden eyes, or whether his words were a genuine prediction or a false warning.

But in any case, crippling her as quickly as possible and then making a swift retreat is definitely the safest option.

The black staff fell.
"Bang!!"

A deafening explosion ripped through the sky, and crimson light pierced through space in an instant, traversing endless space and descending with terrifying, chilling blood energy.

The blood spear shattered the long staff's attack, even leaving a few broken and cracked marks on the surface of the pitch-black staff. It silently stuck in the ground, its crimson blood burning like flames, as if it wanted to burn everything around it to ashes.

After a brief moment of shock, the man instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.

This is a top-tier weapon with the [Destructive] attribute! And it's a deadly weapon! There's a high chance you shouldn't touch it! Touching it will kill you!
'Is that the Black Reaper that woman mentioned?'
He decisively turned his head, looking in the direction from which the blood spear had been thrown, and at the same time took a step back, taking out a life-saving teleportation item in his hand, ready to crush it and teleport away at any time.

Front? Left? Right?

None at all? Is it still in a very far place?

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the man felt an extremely terrifying aura descend from above. He looked up in horror and found a terrifying man, as powerful as a demon god, walking through the void in the sky and rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

【Mahakala】

The power of celestial control originating from the authority of heaven and the power of the abyss of demons erupted simultaneously, and boundless darkness descended, devouring everything it touched like a giant beast that devoured the world.

'Domain?'
'He's definitely not a simple guy!'
Tasti smiled, but a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He took a deep breath, and a dark purple energy burst forth from his body. A large amount of dark purple energy was injected into the necklace, forming a giant purple sword that hung high in the sky.

A power that breaks through boundaries. Hmph! Naive!

The Eye of Flame, who had witnessed Ye Mingqiu's battle, revealed a disdainful smile.

She knew that Ye Mingqiu's domain was different from others' domains. It was an ability he developed himself, not a skill that relied on the system, so it did not have the huge cooldown that was common under normal circumstances.

If other people's domains are destroyed, they will not be able to be reopened in a short period of time, but Ye Mingqiu is different. His domain can be used multiple times in a short period of time without any cooldown limit.

Of course, using a domain in this way would inevitably consume an extremely high amount of energy, but Ye Mingqiu is such a terrifyingly powerful being that he has a huge amount of energy and a very fast recovery speed, which allows him to ignore the terrifying consumption and use the domain multiple times in a row.

[Note: You have gained the "Undying in Battle" aura buff]

"Ok?"

Flamelight Eye raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Soon, on the verge of death, she suddenly felt her body filled with life energy. Her broken bones were rapidly repaired in a short time, and her muscles squeezed out the bone fragments from her body, which were then further repaired, resulting in a rapid recovery in a short period of time.

How come this halo effect is so strong?
Flamelight Eye glanced at the status bar effect and was instantly stunned. Of course she knew Ye Mingqiu was strong, but she never expected that this guy would have such a strong aura ability.

Isn't this a support ability?
Why does he have an aura ability?

And the aura is so strong?

"Breakthrough Sword, unleash!"

Tasti roared, and the giant sword in the sky fell instantly, slamming heavily into the domain of [Daheitian]. The dark purple energy spread wildly like a poison that could neutralize the domain.

The energy that erupts from the sword is a type of energy specifically designed to counter domains. It is highly effective against all types of domains and possesses extremely strong restraining power. It is also highly targeted when breaking through domains.

But
When this dark purple energy encountered the demonic power of [Mahakala], the process of dissolving the domain was very slow. It was even swallowed and assimilated by the darkness, becoming part of the domain.

The Breakthrough Sword does indeed counter domains, and its power is quite effective against opponents of the same or even higher levels. However, what it faces now is the [Abyssal Power], whose base energy strength is far superior to its own. Furthermore, the Abyssal Power is amplified by the [Lord of Light and Shadow] and possesses the [Demonic Energy Devouring] effect, allowing it to absorb energy of other attributes.

This meant that the Breakthrough Sword's original power could not be fully unleashed! It was unable to break through the domain!
"This guy is ridiculously strong."

Tasty instantly understood everything. Without hesitation, he crushed the life-saving item in his hand, abandoning even the process of testing and fighting, and had no desire to be his enemy.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of white light, and Tasti vanished instantly.

"boom!!"

Ye Mingqiu landed on the ground, glanced at the spot where Tusti had disappeared, and without paying much attention, pulled out the Blood Spear and looked at the Eye of Flame, saying, "Ragmo is behind us, you two coordinate. Also, no lateness during work hours, your afternoon contribution points will be deducted."

".good."

"boom!"

Ye Mingqiu stomped the ground again, his body instantly flying like a cannonball, returning to the sky. With the help of the [Skywalk] technique and the power of flight, he sped towards the northern mountains.

Although the Tastians fled, their hostility still guided his direction. As long as the hostility remained, Ye Mingqiu could sense their location through it and then charge straight there. This was his unique ability to sense hostility.

Northern Mountains
"hu~hu~"

Tasty, leaning against a boulder with one hand, looked toward the outskirts in utter terror. Cold sweat soaked his clothes, and his heart was filled with unbearable horror.

Although there was no direct combat, he was certain that his opponent was extremely strong. Even the Breaking Realm Sword could not break through the opponent's domain, which meant that the domain was extremely powerful. Fighting such a strong person within such a domain would almost certainly result in certain death.

escape! Must escape!
"Damn it, that bastard! This is a life-saving item I bought at a high price, and the Breakthrough Sword is already on cooldown. If I encounter a pursuer with a domain... Damn it! That bastard!" Tasti punched the boulder, his anger and resentment surging.

Then, he took out his weapon, a long black staff. Looking at the damage left by the blood spear on the staff, he gritted his teeth, feeling extremely pained.

This is his main weapon!

An enhanced Tier 2 Gold-grade weapon!
It's been destroyed like that! Repairing it will definitely cost a lot of spirit points! Damn it! Bastard!
"There's no other way, I'll just have to hide from people for now, try to go to places with fewer people. The Sky Eye is scary, but it can't pinpoint my exact location, so I can try to fool it."

As Tasti walked, he muttered to himself, his hatred and resentment towards Ye Mingqiu growing stronger, and he secretly made a vow in his heart.

Although I cannot kill you, I will absolutely kill everyone around you, everyone close to you! Your beloved! Your closest relatives! Your brothers and sisters!

Every single one!
I will kill them all!
This intense malice and resentment was like a campfire burning in the darkness, incredibly clear to Ye Mingqiu. No matter how far away he was, he could sense the direction of its source.

The method to break the hostility perception is also quite simple: after successfully escaping, do not show any hostility towards Ye Mingqiu, so that Ye Mingqiu will have no way to track the enemy's location.

"Bang!!"

Shortly after, a whooshing sound came from the sky. Tasty looked up in confusion in the direction from which the sound came and found a dark shadow flying toward him at an extremely fast speed and with great precision.

"This is."

That familiar yet terrifying feeling returned, but this time, Tasti had lost his life-saving teleportation item, and his boundary-breaking abilities had also entered a cooldown phase.

Tasti's expression gradually changed, becoming increasingly twisted and crazed. He roared furiously, "Damn it, how did you catch up with me! I teleported twenty kilometers randomly! Twenty kilometers! How could you possibly catch up with me! Open up! I've never even seen you before! How could you possibly catch up with me?"

"I didn't leave any flaws, not anywhere! How come... how come you managed to catch up with me?! Ahhhh!"

Tasty breaks through defenses with a roar.

He worked diligently and cautiously for ten years while living in hiding!

For the past ten years, he has been extremely cautious every day. He has to wear gloves when using things to avoid leaving fingerprints, and he has to clean up every hair, skin flakes, dandruff, nails, and even any genetic material that falls out every day.

Having achieved this level of skill, Tasti didn't believe anyone could track him down through normal means. At most, they could only find his general direction. Moreover, he was proficient in counter-surveillance and could use this ability to turn the tables and kill his opponent.

but!

Why?Why?Why?
Why should I be hunted down by him like this?

The teleportation just finished, and it flew over precisely to us in no time! What's going on?
What gives him the right? What gives him the right?!

"what!!"

Tasti completely broke down. He drew his weapon and roared at Ye Mingqiu, who was falling from the sky. He unleashed the full power of a level 8 second-tier psionicist, his psionic energy burning wildly and his blood boiling.

【Mahakala】

The next moment, the familiar darkness descended once more, the pitch-black domain devouring space and turning the entire world into an endless cage. Standing inside the cage, Tasti's mentality became increasingly explosive.

The opponent's domain is strong enough to be broken by the Breakthrough Sword, which is understandable. But why can it use such a strong domain continuously in a short period of time? What makes it so special?

Enraged, Tasty swung his long staff, channeling all his strength into a single, explosive strike that clashed with the blood spear that rained down from the sky.

"boom!!"

A terrifying roar resounded, and even the domain shrouded by the Great Black Sky could not completely block out the sound. The terrifying tremors shattered and disintegrated the earth around the domain, creating a fine, spiderweb-like crack.

Inside, the blood spear and the long staff clashed and fought each other continuously, and Tashty, as a second-tier level 8 psionicist, unleashed extremely strong combat power.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a master of technique. Even though his overall attributes were stronger than Cha Bei's, the actual pressure he posed to Ye Mingqiu was far less than Cha Bei's. After all, while techniques are expensive, they are extremely powerful and possess considerable combat strength.

After several brief exchanges, Ye Mingqiu successfully predicted Tasti's attack routes through [Instinctive Perception], making the fight easier and less interesting.

"Bah!"

The sound of a blood spear piercing flesh rang out. Tasty was suspended in mid-air, his eyes filled with resentment, tears streaming down his face as he trembled and whispered, "Why...why are there such unreasonable and powerful guys? There is no fairness in this world at all."

Tasti, dead.
