Chapter 118: Death Battle
Yu Han slowly stood up as his body swayed. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Bai Yi with incredible malevolence in his eyes.
At this time, Bai Yi reopened his eyes. In those eyes, there was no sympathy or pity!
Bai Yi wouldn't continue to make mistakes again. Nobody could tolerate making mistakes over and over. Just like what Ning Xue had sensed just now, the Bai Yi who had buried his kindness and gentleness was incredibly terrifying. It wasn't just about strength, but also a change in his mental state.
Reverse Flower Eyes!
Just when Yu Han looked at Bai Yi malevolently, Bai Yi's eyes widened again and blood continued to flow down from his eyes. It was still okay to use the Reverse Flower Eyes at the first and second level, but once he used the third level that was coupled with the assistance of the special energy, Bai Yi's eyes would bleed. After much research and studying by all of them, they thought that this was because Bai Yi's eyes hadn't changed gradually. The few sudden mutations and evolutions had caused his eyes to have some hidden injury.
Anything is fine, even if my eyes goes blind, I must kill this guy!
Bai Yi walked toward Yu Han. Yu Han just stood there blankly on the spot, seemingly not seeing Bai Yi walking toward him. While walking, a small willow leaf knife appeared in Bai Yi's hand. This wasn't the one that he gave to Hong Qi Hua but it was the same type. In reality, Bai Yi didn't even get the chance to retrieve the willow leaf knife he gave to Hong Qi Hua, so he could only choose another identical one as a replacement.
"Yu Han! Yu Han wake up! Shit!" Gaute shouted loudly, charging toward Bai Yi immediately. However, Woolf immediately stopped him and the two of them went into a deadlock.
"Don't even think of going over!" Woolf's body was stained with blood, and a baleful aura emitted from his body.
"Bastard!" Gaute looked at Woolf viciously, and gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke.
Yu Han said that everything was his fault, but from what Gaute saw it was clearly Bai Yi's team being overly aggressive and forceful. Just look at their cruel way of killing. Evelynn got beheaded in one strike, and Ning Xue, who should be considered their friend, also got her heart pierced mercilessly. Yu Han said that it was his fault before, but they didn't know all the history between them. However, from the looks of it now, Bai Yi seemed more like the murderer, the devil!
It's like that! It's definitely like that!
Gaute looked at Woolf who blocked his path and roared ferociously. He ripped off his clothes, and the muscles on his left arm that were partially ripped before suddenly wriggled. A giant tentacle rapidly grew out just like that. The other 4 of them were not too different from Gaute. They also saw Bai Yi's team as evil people who were wicked beyond redemption. Not looking at anything else, just from the things that had happened since they met, their team were definitely not the ones in the wrong.
Who was right and who was wrong?
Bai Yi held the willow leaf knife as he walked toward Yu Han, his eyes never breaking away from Yu Han's as they bled continuously. All the shouting and screaming around them seemed to be completely unrelated to the pair. Even if the other 5 teammates of Yu Han had now fallen into the berserk state, they couldn't help but feel their heart pause. They wanted to scream and awaken him.
Yu Han!
It ends here!
Bai Yi said this in his heart as he stabbed the willow leaf knife forward. However, at this time, Bai Yi suddenly noticed the python that was still bleeding profusely. At this time, the eyes of the python that laid on Yu Han's left arm were almost closed, but a cold light could be seen from it in a few instances.
Bai Yi suddenly shot backward; the moment his body started moving, Yu Han moved as well viciously. The python shot toward Bai Yi at an unimaginable speed. 'Sou!', Bai Yi threw the willow leaf knife out immediately. Although the python avoided getting pierced in its mouth, the willow leaf knife still stabbed into its original wound.
At this moment, Yu Han had already stepped forward forcefully and smashed his tortoise shield brutally toward Bai Yi's face.
'DANG!', a heavy and dull collision sounded; Bai Yi's hands heavily slammed against Yu Han's tortoise shield, hitting the shield away.
Body Parrying Blow!
One of the movements in the Tai Ji Fist.
However, Yu Han similarly used a strange movement to dissipate the strength and counterattacked toward Bai Yi mercilessly. Inside the research facility, Yu Han had spent a lot of time in the upper section as well, so the information he had acquired wasn't less than Bai Yi's. While Bai Yi's team was practicing the Tai Ji Fist, Yu Han was also practicing it. Moreover, he had combined it with his special left arm and made some unique adjustments to it.
The Xuan Wu Arm and his now sorrowful and hysterical emotions helped him resist Bai Yi's hypnosis. Bai Yi had determined this from the moment he saw the state of the python on Yu Han's left arm. This was because, Bai Yi understood his Reverse Flower Eyes very deeply. Hypnosis wasn't some magical power. The more on guard and alert the other person was, the harder it was for it to be effective.
The two of them fought at close quarters. Yu Han was missing a left arm, but he had an additional agile python with him. Moreover, honestly speaking, the butterfly genes that Bai Yi had fused with didn't give him any bonuses other than in vision. Very quickly, Bai Yi fell to a disadvantage in this close quarters battle. However, Bai Yi did not retreat. Instead, he ferociously continued his battle with Yu Han.
You think this is painful?! Do you finally understand pain?! Do you understand what feelings I held back then, how it feels to bury my true self inside, and how I felt when I pierced Ning Xue with the fang sword! Do you think I wanted to do this! WHO DO YOU THINK IT WAS THAT CAUSED THINGS TO BECOME LIKE THIS!
Bai Yi gripped onto the neck of the python tightly with his left hand, as his right hand mercilessly stabbed inside the wound caused by the fang sword, viciously tearing into it.
"HISSSS…!!!" The python cried out loudly, and Yu Han roared violently as well. Sharing the same body as the python now was really inconvenient, and Bai Yi locked him down with his body at this point in time. However, Yu Han did not give up and used his mouth to crunch down on Bai Yi's left arm, brutally using all the force he could muster to bite off his left arm first.
KILL, KILL HIM!
Not just Yu Han, but all Bai Yi thought of now was this.
The two of them completely gave up on using any techniques. Instead, they just tore away at each other based on their instincts. This wild battle was even crueler and bloodier. The ghosts who came to watch the show were completely stunned, and even Anna was shocked for a long while. Not just Bai Yi and Yu Han were battling like this, the battles of the others weren't any lesser in intensity as well. Even the small kid Momo had a look of viciousness and cruelty.
"AHHHHH…!!" Bai Yi brutally pulled and roared subconsciously, his hand grabbing onto the wound of the python. He pulled forcefully and directly tore the upper half of the python's body off.
"ARGHHHH!!" At the same time, Yu Han similarly bit down with all his strength. A tearing sound likewise came from Bai Yi's left arm, and a more than 20 centimeters piece of flesh was torn off from his lower arm. Bai Yi's shattered bones could be seen in his arm.
The instant he tore the python's body off, Bai Yi twisted his body and brutally kicked toward Yu Han.
Gathering Whip Kick!
In the exact same way, Yu Han kicked at Bai Yi with the same posture and movements. It was not only Bai Yi who had learned to used Tai Ji Fist in battle. Two powerful forces collided, and a 'kacha!' sound came from both their legs. Their legs broke at the same time. The immense force from the collision then sent both of them flying backward at the same time.
Both of them fell heavily on the ground and slowly climbed again. It wasn't going to end until one of them died!
Yu Han roared loudly at the sky, and blood gushed out from the lower body of the torn python profusely. Suddenly, on the back of Yu Han's left arm, the flesh and bones quickly closed on itself. It formed a new head, the head of a tortoise. The mythical Xuan Wu had two heads all along, and the tortoise had always been the main body. It was just that Yu Han had always thought that the transformation in his body stopped there. Unexpectedly, a new tortoise head actually grew out in a situation like this.
Bai Yi's left arm hung by his body, blood dripping down continuously from the wound to the floor. All the flesh on a side of his arm was gone, going all the way until the back of his palm.
'CHI~~!'
A metallic grinding sound other rang out. Bai Yi happened to be standing beside Ning Xue at this moment, and his right hand grabbed onto the fang sword again and he slowly pulled it out from her body. The blade and Ning Xue's sharp nails grinded against each other, giving off a slow and prolonged grinding sound. However, this time, Ning Xue didn't grab onto the blade anymore and silently laid on the ground.
"You are not allowed to hurt Ning Xue!"
"Not allowed, DID YOU HEAR ME!!" A trace of clarity appeared in Yu Han's savage eyes, but in the next instant he became even more furious.
At this time, the other people around them fell into bloody battles too. At this point in time, nobody cared about who was right and right. There was only one notion in everyone's hearts…Kill! Kill them! This desperate and cruel atmosphere made all the ghosts nearby retreat backward involuntarily. They initially thought that this was just a melodramatic revenge show, but the scene in front of them had long exceeded their imaginations.
At this time, Anna also subconsciously retreated backward, but she suddenly turned to the east, then to the southwest direction.
Shit!
This sound meant that they had alarmed all the Giant Devil Mosquitos and vengeful spirits in the city. Their bloody and desperate battle, their furious roars, and the stench of blood had spread very far through this quiet ghost city.
In reality, it wasn't just the Giant Devil Mosquitos and the vengeful spirits that were alarmed, just that these two groups were the largest here. The other various lifeforms and humans in the ghost city of Wellington also gathered toward this location.
"Bai Yi, the Giant Devil Mosquitos and vengeful spirits are heading here!" Anna immediately showed herself and shouted at Bai Yi. One must know, those who were killed by the vengeful spirits wouldn't even have their souls left. Unfortunately, Bai Yi didn't care about Anna at all but pointed his fang sword at Yu Han in front of him.
At this moment, none of the others had any intentions to stop. This battle wouldn't stop unless one side was killed off completely!
Chapter 119: Who's Right and Who's Wrong
All of them had heard Anna's voice. After all, their five senses were incredibly acute now. However, none of them had any intentions of stopping; on the contrary, they fought even harder.
Bai Yi and Yu Han didn't care about their injuries at all and charged toward each other again.
The tortoise shield and the fang sword collided, both of their eyes carrying intense cruelty and killing intent. It could be seen that Bai Yi and Yu Han had mostly regained their calm now but not completely. They could judge the situation and use weapons to fight now, unlike moments before where the fought like brutal beasts that just tore into each other.
Anna realized that she couldn't stop them and didn't bother anymore either.
"If you want me to die, then you better have the resolution to die with me!" Barritt looked at Warner opposite him, as Barritt's eyes continuously flashed between brutality and rationality. Not many people could keep their brutal urges under control now in Yu Han's team.
"Of course I had that resolution long ago," Warner pushed Barritt back and said sinisterly.
It was Khina who told him to join Bai Yi's team, and let him follow Hong Qi Hua. During this period of time where he followed them, Hong Qi Hua had also taken care of Warner a lot. To Warner, Hong Qi Hua took up the role of a parent to him during the period of insecurity and uneasiness when he lost his parents. This caused him to develop familial feelings toward Hong Qi Hua, just like a child to his parents.
Hence, the shock that Warner received when Hong Qi Hua died was also extremely huge.
9 months had passed since then, and it was enough time for the small kid back then to grow rapidly. No matter in strength or mentality, the Warner now couldn't be compared to the Warner 9 months ago. In these 9 months, although Bai Yi never said much about it, all of them had been steadily increasing their strengths. They did this all for the sake of ripping Yu Han apart with their own hands one day.
Warner's fat body rapidly spun. He used the momentum to swing his sword at a fast speed and clashed with Barritt.
Barritt didn't know that Warner was still a kid, and even if Warner was still a kid, he couldn't treat him like one at this time. He had to admit that Warner was very powerful. If Barritt wasn't quite strong as well, he would have already died at Warner's hands. 'Ding!', the weapon in Barritt's hands suddenly broke, and Warner's sword directly hacked into his waist.
'Kacha!', the sword hacked in deeply into Barritt's body. However, Barritt didn't move back but used his left hand to grab onto Warner's sword viciously, while his other hand grabbed onto Warner's arm.
"I said before, you must have the resolution to die together," Barritt said with a muffled voice as he bit into Warner's shoulder. Barritt had no choice but to admit that he wasn't Warner's match. After all, although the genes that Bai Yi's team fused with at the start didn't have any direct effects, they were all genes that enhanced their basic battle abilities greatly.
At this time, the Giant Devil Mosquito swarm was flying over to their location with a loud buzzing sound. Barritt looked at that dark cloud of Giant Devil Mosquitos, and his eyes went bloodshot. He suddenly pushed with all his strength and rushed toward that direction, carrying Warner with him.
Warner struggled vigorously, but Barrett's strength exploded at this time with his resolution of death. His strength became shockingly incomparable. Everyone looked as the two of them moved rapidly toward the swarm of Giant Devil Mosquitos and pushed their way inside. Pupu saw the situation and immediately wanted to go and save Warner, but within two steps he stopped again. Warner and Barritt were already completely surrounded by the Giant Devil Mosquitos.
"HAHAHAHA…I told you. We are going to die together!"
A laughter full of pain and screaming came from the gaps in the Giant Devil Mosquito swarm. This maniacal and painful laughter made everyone's hearts shiver uncontrollably. The agitated and malevolent faces of those people stimulated by the continuous battle suddenly regain clarity as well.
Yu Han and Bai Yi just happened to see this scene as they moved apart, and they both stopped at the same time.
"Run, run away! We mustn't die in this place!"
An instant after they paused, both of them shouted at the same time. The words they shouted were actually the same, and their expressions were extremely similar. However, their moods at this time were somewhat different. At this moment, Yu Han felt intense grief, indignation, and hatred in his heart. I must definitely not die here, definitely not! I must survive and come back again! As for Bai Yi, he didn't want all his teammates to die in this place just because of revenge.
They felt Bai Yi and Yu Han's hoarse voices reverberate in their eardrums and transmit into their hearts. All of them who had become extremely hot-blooded from the battle paused slightly.
Only now did they realize their miserable state. None of the people who were still standing now remained uninjured. Although Bai Yi's team had fused with genes that inclined more toward battle from the start, the teammates that Yu Han had gathered couldn't be underestimated as well. After all, they weren't the only ones who were lucky, and the people who thought of fusing genes selectively couldn't be just them either.
All the people in Yu Han's team had almost fallen into the berserk state, but after hearing Yu Han's voice at this time they suddenly awoke.
Sharpei chased after Athena and bit off her left leg. He didn't just break her leg, but ripped it off compeletely, as Sharpei's strength now was just that immense. Gaute's left shoulder was ripped into pieces. Although the octopus genes let him rapidly regrow a tentacle, it was hacked off by Woolf again. Gaute now seemed to be bathing in a pool of blood, swaying and almost falling. Mavis had ripped off one of Adams' wings, but Adams still bore with his severe injury and bit Mavis' neck and injected a powerful poison into Mavis' body. Harold faced Momo and Pupu. Initially, he thought that a small kid would be easier to deal with, but he still suffered some injuries in the end.
Evelynn's headless corpse laid on the floor and had already started to cool down. Ning Xue's body similarly laid on the floor, and blood still slowly flowed out her wound profusely. Barritt and Warner had wrestled with each other and rolled into the Giant Devil Mosquito swarm, and they could only hear low groans coming from there now.
Dead, all dead!
The people in Yu Han's team all looked at him. They discovered that his python was already ripped off, and half of the python's body hung limply from his shoulder.
"Run, all of you run!" Yu Han roared loudly in sorrow and anger as tears fell from his eyes. The hoarse and painful voice instantly made these people who were almost in the berserk state regain their consciousness.
They had to run, they couldn't die in this place, they had to get revenge for their comrades that died! At this time, everyone in Yu Han's team felt a camaraderie from their fury toward a common enemy, and a stubbornness in desperation rose inside. They would never die here, no matter what they had to make Bai Yi's team pay in blood for everything!
"Run, leave this place! Don't sacrifice yourselves meaninglessly!" Bai Yi similarly shouted loudly. He wanted to kill Yu Han, but if they continued to stay in this place nobody would survive. Everyone knew just how powerful the Giant Devil Mosquitos were. They weren't something the lifeforms at the current stage could contend with.
From the looks of it now, Yu Han's team seemed to be the victims. Their sorrowful emotions and their screams of despair, everything shook the hearts of all those present.
Were they wrong? Just who was right and who was wrong?!
The two groups ran toward the vengeful spirits at the same time unanimously. There was definitely a reason why the vengeful spirits and the Giant Devil Mosquitos stayed in the center and outskirts of the city respectively. Other than that, all of them hoped that the vengeful spirits at the center of the city would kill off the other side. Yu Han's team relied on the sap of the Soul Purifying Tree, while Bai Yi's team relied on the Spirit Devouring Butterflies.
"Be careful of the vengeful spirits!" Yu Han reminded his teammates while he ran.
"Xu~~!" Momo pursed her lips and gave a slight whistle. This sound was very soft, but incredibly clear. The penetrating power of this sound was incomparable, as if it rang from the bottom of their hearts. Once the whistled sounded, the Spirit Devouring Butterflies that stopped nearby before flew over in groups, surrounding the people in Bai Yi's team.
Although Yu Han's team didn't know what abilities these butterflies had, they could still guess some of it. Letting these butterflies come out at this time, it was definitely related to dealing with the vengeful spirits.
The two groups didn't stop their attacks on each other even while they ran. Suddenly, although they couldn't see clearly, all of them felt like they ran into wave of people, and countless black distorted figures appeared in the air as well. This was the center of Wellington, where the vengeful spirits congregrated, and where the energy field of the underworld was the densest. In this place, even normal people could see the vengeful spirits with the naked eye.
These mysterious and brutal vengeful spirits rushed past the two groups of people. Sounds of pained screams rang continuously around Yu Han's team, and they could see black smoke rising from places where they had dripped the Soul Purifying Tree sap. Yu Han's team immediately panicked, they couldn't afford to care if the sap would harm their own souls and immediately dumped the remainder of the sap on their bodies.
Similarly, Bai Yi's team weren't without injuries either. Although they had the Spirit Devouring Butterflies surrounding them, these butterflies had never entered the center area either. Although they indeed fed on spiritual lifeforms, the number of vengeful spirits here was really too many. They only saw countless Spirit Devouring Butterflies flying around their bodies, mixing together with those black shadows. Despite the black vengeful spirits being continuously devoured, the Spirit Devouring Butterflies similarly fell down continuously and died.
There had never been a clear boundary between predator and prey!
Behind them, the vengeful spirits and Giant Devil Mosquitos clashed together, their collision rippling through the center of the city. Just like they had guessed, although the vengeful spirits and Giant Devil Mosquitos were completely different types of lifeforms, they treated each other with hostility for some reason. That was why they lived separately in the center and the outskirts of the city.
"This is!" The young girl writing in her notebook at the very start paused at the top of the skyscraper, looking at the Giant Devil Mosquitos and the vengeful spirits that clashed together. She couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Just who could have brought about this intense clash? The few people that she saw entering this city had probably all died long ago.
Similarly, the other lifeforms in the city also seemed to be curious about this huge commotion, but none of them dared to be too curious. If they got embroiled in this clash between the vengeful spirits and the Giant Devil Mosquitos, the only outcome for them could only be death.
At this time, both teams looked at the scene at the center simultaneously. They all stood stunned on the spot. This was probably the first time that humans had entered the center of the city ever since Wellington had turned into a ghost city. At this moment, what appeared before everyone's eyes were corpses; there were corpses as far as the eyes could see.
These corpses hadn't rotted but were dumped messily in every corner of the city. They were piled all the way until the hill at the center…a hill formed from corpses!
Chapter 120: Cursed Eyes
Although the old ghost Johnny told Bai Yi's team about what had happened exactly in Wellington, the few words that he communicated to them couldn't possibly fully illustrate the scene of despair and self-destruction back then.
Countless corpses littered the city's buildings and roads, accumulating toward the center of the city. This finally resulted in a giant hill dozens of meters tall in the huge plaza. Although more than 9 months had passed, the corpses here didn't really rot, apparently due to the special environment in this city. It was easy to tell the cause of death for many of these corpses; most of them had actually died from suicide.
Self-destruction!
Ever since New Zealand had changed, Bai Yi and Yu Han's group were the first humans to enter the city center. None of the other visitors before had managed to come to this place, regardless if it were the evolved humans or the normal humans sent over from Australia. The two teams looked on in shock when they entered the city center, completely stunned by this place overflowing with corpses. These corpses seemingly told the story of how deep the despair that pervaded Wellington back then was.
"Move!" Yu Han shouted at his teammates who were all staring blankly.
"Don't think of running away!" Bai Yi suddenly accelerated and charged toward Yu Han.
Yu Han had calmed down by now, and looking at the miserable state of his companions, he knew that they would only get wiped out at the end if they continued to fight. I can't die here, I mustn't die here! After making that judgment, Yu Han decisively ran in another direction.
However, how could Bai Yi let Yu Han escape just like this? He immediately gave chase.
"Let me down, we can't escape like this," Athena said to Yu Han who was supporting her.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yu Han shouted loudly.
"No, I'm serious. I'm just a burden to the team now, just leave me. I'm sorry Yu Han, I still doubted your words earlier on. I don't know what exactly happened between you and Bai Yi, but from what I see now you still hid some things from us. It's clearly that Bai Yi is…urgh!" Athena still wanted to continue speaking but suddenly her stomach rolled, and she vomited out a large mouthful of blood.
"Put me down, you won't be able to escape with me," Athena continued.
"Idiot, you aren't allowed to say these kinds of words again."
"No, Athena is right, you should put her down." Gaute and Harold stopped running as well, turning around to face Bai Yi's team. "My life was saved by team leader, so now I'll return it to team leader," the two of them said at the same time and they suddenly did a double take. They then looked at each other and started laughing loudly, the two of them actually had the same thoughts.
At this moment, Athena also pushed away Yu Han's left hand, falling on the ground before climbing up again.
"Team leader, hurry up and leave! You don't want to waste our intentions right?!" Gaute said in an impetuous tone to Yu Han for the first time ever. One must know that he had always treated Yu Han as his leader.
"Go!" Adams pulled on Yu Han, dragging him and running further away.
"DON'T EVEN THINK OF GETTING PAST US!" The 3 of them that stayed back roared at Bai Yi's group as the trio blocked them.
Reverse Flower Eyes!
Bai Yi's eyes widened again, but in that instant, his eyes felt a sharp piercing pain. The power of his eyes came from a mutation and not a gradual evolution. As such, there were some hidden injuries left behind. Moreover, even Mavis couldn't treat this kind of hidden injury. Continuously using his Reverse Flower Eyes to the maximum degree had caused his eyes to go past their limit.
"Your eyes can hypnotize people? If you are really capable then come and hypnotize your daddy!" Gaute roared loudly, charging toward them recklessly. Even Athena who was missing a leg hopped awkwardly behind Gaute, charging toward Bai Yi's team. The 3 of them were fully resolved to die just to keep Bai Yi's team here. If they could kill a few of them in the process, then it wasn't a waste for them to stay behind here.
Bai Yi looked at their determined faces and knew that they were prepared to die.
Bai Yi looked at the people on his side, Woolf was doing relatively well, Momo, Sharpei, and Pupu didn't have many problems either. However, Mavis was clutching her neck, her body trembling unceasingly. If he let them deal with Gaute and the others, then something bad really might happen.
Looking at Yu Han and Adams' figures disappearing into the distance, a trace a regret flashed past Bai Yi's eyes.
"I'm very impressed by your actions, and I'm also very shocked that Yu Han could find teammates like you guys. However, I will not be soft-hearted. I absolutely will not be soft-hearted again. So, please die in this place," Bai Yi said coldly.
"HA~!" Gaute shouted loudly again as his muscles bulged; he didn't reply to Bai Yi. However, actions meant everything, if he wanted to kill the 3 of them then Bai Yi had to pay the price.
When Bai Yi's team entered the city center, that young girl came down as well to the battlefield. The ghosts around her seemed to recognize her and didn't take a single action toward her.
"What happened here?"
"It's like that? Revenge? That's really something that's difficult to judge or comment on. But, in the entirety of history, nothing good ever came out of something like this," the young girl said as if she was talking to herself.
At this time, she came to Ning Xue's side and prepared to close her eyes as a sign of respect to the dead. However, the moment her hand touched Ning Xue's eyelids, she suddenly realized with shock that Ning Xue was still alive! Although her heart was pierced, she was actually still alive. However, the feeling was very strange, as if another lifeforce was sustaining Ning Xue's body. The position of that lifeforce was from Ning Xue's lower abdomen.
In Ning Xue's womb, the fetus that hadn't developed fully in 9 months due to the influence of the activated cells emitted an unimaginable lifeforce, and it actually sustained Ning Xue's life. However, this also resulted in a strange effect on the fetus, and nobody knew what would happen to it in the future. However, this young girl didn't care that much and immediately tried to prepare for emergency treatment. She quickly stemmed the bleeding and tried her very best to pull Ning Xue back from the edge of death.
The battle had ended. Bai Yi leaned against the side of the streetlamps. He held Mavis in his hands, his eyes out of focus. Woolf sat on the floor by the side, not wanting to move either, while Sharpei and Pupu still stood at the plaza. Right beside them were Gaute and Harold's bodies that were ripped into many pieces. Only like this did the two of them really stop moving.
On top of the hill formed by countless corpses, Momo kneeled at the top, her short sword viciously stabbing into Athena's body below her.
The 3 of them exploded with unimaginable power once they were resolved to die. Bai Yi's team never thought that the three of them could have such great battle power. If not for their strength and numbers being greater than them by a notch, it would have been possible that Bai Yi's team died along with these 3. Even so, Mavis was still poisoned from the battle before and was unable to get any effective treatment. As such, she died.
Momo slowly stood up, looking at Bai Yi and the others below her; her little blood-stained face was full of emptiness.
Everyone looked in Momo's direction. The gentle crescent moon gave off a ray of white moonlight, and it almost seemed like the light shined from Momo's back. The pale-white moonlight illuminated the mountain of corpses. New blood splattered on the corpses that were there before making the scene appear even more sorrowful. Momo stood below the giant tree that was surrounded by the corpse hill, her face full of weakness and vacancy.
"Daddy!"
Everyone heard her and immediately looked over, discovering Momo's figure illuminated by the moonlight and the hill of corpses below her feet. The giant tree behind her seemingly absorbed all the nutrients from the corpses and grew to be incredibly lush. In this eerie environment, this tree actually managed to bloom beautiful flowers.
These flowers were so beautiful, like a blossoming of life. A gentle breeze blew past these eerie and beautiful flowers and the petals of these flowers that fit neither the time nor the place drifted down. At this time, Momo's eyes finally moved and saw Bai Yi. Suddenly, tears just started rolling down her face.
It was an indescribable scene as if time had frozen, this moment represented another transformation in Momo.
Bai Yi stared at Momo for a long while and closed his eyes again.
Warner died, Mavis died as well, Ning Xue, who was originally his good friend, also died in his hands and the few others…In the end, vengeance could never beget a good outcome!
Bai Yi's heart was incomparably chaotic right now. Intense self-blame, hurt, and various other emotions reverberated in his heart. On the contrary, this gave Bai Yi an absolutely blank look on his face. Suddenly, Bai Yi opened his eyes again and looked at the crescent moon in the sky. The moonlight shined into Bai Yi's eyes, almost as if reflecting his gaze back at him. Instantly, Bai Yi actually fell into a hypnotized state himself.
The colored patterns on Bai Yi's body gradually disappeared again, gathering toward his eyes.
After more than 10 minutes, Bai Yi's eyes finally turned back to normal and he awoke from the hypnosis of the moonlight. Bai Yi clearly knew that his eyes had evolved again. Various immense emotions became the catalyst for his eyes, letting them evolve once again. However, Bai Yi didn't have a single trace of happiness on his face; he only felt incomparably pained and lost.
Every time, every time! It's almost as if the blood of his friends were the source of his eyes' evolution.
This was definitely a pair of cursed eyes!
But as it happened, he had to rely heavily on this pair of eyes! No matter for facing this cruel world, or to continue walking down this path of revenge, until he truly ended Yu Han.
The night was full of sorrow!
