Chapter 438: Bai Li and Bai Li
“Do whatever you want to do, kill whoever you want to kill.”
Lin Qiye tightened his grip on the dual blades, his gaze sweeping over the numerous forbidden object users before him. “I will take care of all the enemies standing in your way.”
With a flick of his wrist, the brilliance of summoning magic flickered, and a silver magic cube quietly hovered in his hand.
As the chaotic cube twisted, the entire layout of the 166th floor was completely disrupted.
The original forbidden object user of the “Sea” realm had already been disarmed by Baili Pangpang, leaving him with no combat capability, as he was being slaughtered unilaterally by the Ninth Seat.
Adding to this, the recently eliminated Aries and Virgo meant that only the sky lion and the “Limitless” realm archer still had combat power among the twelve forbidden object users.
Seeing Baili Xin and his son in crisis, the archer immediately charged toward the high platform. Just then, the space around him twisted, and in the next moment, he was teleported in front of the Ninth Seat, who was slaughtering the forbidden object users.
“Huh?” The Ninth Seat looked at the archer who suddenly appeared before him with surprise. “Are you here to die too?”
The archer’s expression darkened.
……
Whoosh—!
A figure flew down from the hollow floor, the lion wielding an energy sword landing before the high platform, his face grim as he stared at Baili Pangpang and Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye glanced around.
“This should be the last one; it’s a bit tricky… Can you handle both of them at the same time?” Lin Qiye looked back at Baili Pangpang with some concern.
“Mm.” Baili Pangpang nodded. “My forbidden realm is the natural enemy of the Baili family; don’t worry.”
“Good.”
In Lin Qiye’s palm, the chaotic magic cube twisted again, and in the next moment, both Lin Qiye and the lion vanished, teleported elsewhere.
No one stood in Baili Pangpang’s way anymore as he stepped forward, slowly walking toward Baili Jing below the high platform.
As the blood-red figure wearing a silly pig mask approached, Baili Jing’s face turned pale. The shock from Baili Pangpang instantly disarming all the forbidden objects was too great for him. Seeing the forbidden objects floating beside his opponent, Baili Jing stiffly began to retreat.
He was afraid.
After all, he was just a businessman. He could command the market, but when it came to combat skills… he wasn’t even worthy to carry Baili Pangpang’s shoes.
Although he had started learning to use forbidden objects since childhood, it was merely ordinary training. He had never engaged in a true life-and-death struggle. After all, according to the plan, he didn’t need to participate in combat personally; as long as Baili Pangpang handled the toughest parts, he could directly inherit the other’s identity.
If Baili Pangpang’s mental power hadn’t been sealed earlier, if he hadn’t been absolutely certain, he wouldn’t have dared to act against Baili Pangpang.
Now, he was even more hesitant.
“Why are you retreating?” Baili Pangpang said lightly from behind the silly pig mask. “Aren’t you here to kill me again? I’m right here… do you dare to come and kill me?”
Baili Jing swallowed hard, his body retreating to the edge of the high platform. He looked up at Baili Xin, who stood on the platform, and spoke with a pale face, “Father… this…”
Baili Xin frowned at him, snorting coldly. “Is this all the courage you have? With this attitude, how can you ever be a high-ranking member of the Night Watch? You disappoint me greatly.”
“N-no, Father!” Baili Jing hurriedly replied. “He… he can take my forbidden objects! My forbidden objects are completely useless; this isn’t fair at all!”
Baili Xin squinted at Baili Pangpang for a long time, then tossed a golden spear into Baili Jing’s hands. After hesitating for a moment, he pulled out a worn wooden sword sheath from the void and hung it on Baili Jing’s back.
“You should recognize these two items; my mental power is attached to them, so he can’t take them away.” Baili Xin said calmly. “Although he has many forbidden objects, apart from the [Jade Armor], the rest are of low rank and are far inferior to these two items.
You are my son, raised by me, Baili Xin. If you can’t even defeat that waste, it only shows that you are unworthy of being the head of the Baili family and have no hope of becoming a high-ranking member of the Night Watch.
If you can’t become a high-ranking member of the Night Watch, then you have no value in existing…”
Hearing the last sentence, Baili Jing’s body trembled, fear flashing in his eyes.
“I will win! Father! I will definitely win!” Baili Jing tightly gripped the golden spear. “I will prove to you that I am stronger than that waste! I am more worthy of being your son than he is!”
With a clenched jaw, he suddenly charged at Baili Pangpang.
Baili Pangpang fixed his gaze on Baili Xin, sneering as he spoke, “So, you can be so cold-blooded toward your own son… Is there really nothing in your eyes but profit?”
“This is a society where profit is paramount; only truly ruthless people can stand above all others,” Baili Xin replied.
Baili Jing removed his golden-rimmed glasses and tossed them aside, his tightly gripped spear stabbing out like lightning!
Boom—!!
A thick golden beam erupted from the spear tip, instantly piercing through the entire 166th floor, shooting into the sky. The terrifying shockwave rippled out from the beam, melting nearby walls.
Baili Pangpang’s figure appeared atop one of the yin fish in the Taiji diagram.
A flash of light crossed his eyes, and the jade ring on his thumb rapidly disassembled, transforming into a complete set of jade armor that gently covered Baili Pangpang’s body. A tattered cloak hung behind the armor, and he held a treasure vase in one hand and a wooden ruler over a meter long in the other.
The blood-red eye that had been floating behind him vanished into thin air, then slowly opened on the pig mask…
A murky beam of mental energy erupted from the eye, rapidly shooting toward Baili Jing’s body!
Buzz!!
The wooden sword sheath behind Baili Jing suddenly trembled, and before the mental beam could touch his body, it was forcefully dispersed in mid-air!
Baili Jing’s gaze was fixed on Baili Pangpang. The moment he appeared, he immediately thrust his spear toward his position, with successive golden beams shooting out from the top of the main building, causing the entire top floor to begin shaking.
Creak—!!
The steel beams supporting the top floor emitted a low hum, and some debris fell from the ceiling. A few remaining load-bearing columns could no longer support the weight of this floor, and dense cracks began to spread.
Baili Xin frowned slightly, taking a gentle step forward. Particles of black sand spread from beneath his feet, surging into the load-bearing columns like a tide, and the precariously shaking top floor finally stabilized just barely.
