Blood, mucus, and organs…
Centered around Bai, within a ten-meter radius, everything was covered in these nauseating substances. Blood flowed continuously, and under Bai's powerful hematopoietic ability, new blood regenerated only to flow out again—this cycle rendered the area hellish in no time.
At the very center of this hell, Bai lay on the ground, the light in his heart growing ever stronger. However, faintly, countless battle tattoos emerged from Bai's skin, seemingly possessing an extremely strong sealing power that firmly locked Tang Haofei in place.
No matter how Tang Haofei struggled inside, he could never escape.
Old Tang enjoyed special treatment once more.
Bai had now confirmed one thing…
Today, it was likely that he would perish… And under the premise that the alien energy could not be removed, locking Tang Haofei was the only hope for Bai to find a sliver of survival.
“Bang!”
A sound of a body hitting the ground came from not far away. Bai turned his head with difficulty and saw that Arcade had staggered to a spot five meters away from him, collapsing to the ground but slowly getting back up.
“This time… Ha, haha… It’s my turn now…”
The crimson eyes of Arcade made Bai’s heart shiver. However, Arcade had temporarily regained his strength and was no longer as immobile as before. After getting up, his speed noticeably increased, and in nearly ten seconds, he crossed the five-meter distance to Bai, stepping over the fallen Ye Nan, and threw a punch directly at Bai's head.
Yet, Bai seemed completely unconcerned. As Arcade's fist connected with Bai's forehead, his arm bent, but Bai didn’t even get a scratch…
After all, Tang Haofei was still sealed within the heart. With the power of Tang Haofei inherited by Bai, how could Arcade possibly contend with him?
“Heart… Huh, huh, pull out his… heart!”
The weak voice reached both their ears. Hearing Ye Nan’s reminder, Arcade suddenly realized. He bent down and reached into Bai's wound, probing into his body.
At that moment, Bai felt a tremendous force from his heart. Arcade struggled to pull and twist, but Bai's heart remained steadfast—despite being aimed at Bai's weakness, Arcade was still powerless against him.
However, there was still an effect.
As Arcade exerted more strength, the battle tattoos on Bai's body flickered with light, and with a big spout of blood, Bai's aura immediately weakened. In this ebb and flow, Arcade felt Bai’s defenses drop further and further. With another burst of strength, he actually pulled Bai's heart out of his body!
“Bang!”
Arcade couldn’t hold on and sent the heart flying far away. Bai’s heart, seemingly weighing a thousand pounds, hit the ground with a “bang,” and Bai, having lost the support of Five Glories and suffered all his organs being detached, tilted his head and died on the spot.
The air suddenly froze.
Arcade and Ye Nan lay on the ground, panting heavily. Meanwhile, the Baru demon beast avatar nearby was recovering rapidly, but the Baru demon beast, having long since disconnected from its mother body, lay on the ground like a lump of dead flesh, unmoving. Bai’s sky devouring dragon beast, which he had somehow summoned, fared no better.
Its life force was weak, with only occasional twitches of its body proving it was still alive…
Until the distant heart let out a “bang,” slightly twitching, catching the attention of Arcade and Ye Nan.
“What’s that?”
“Don’t ask me, I don’t know who’s that unlucky…”
Ye Nan and Arcade exchanged a few words before turning their attention back to Bai.
“You don’t think he doesn’t have any revival items, do you?”
Ye Nan hesitated to speak, while Arcade only laughed madly!
“I don’t care about that! I killed him once, that’s worth it! Worth it!!”
Thus, the atmosphere froze once again, until Bai’s body trembled and slowly got up.
He indeed had reserved revival items.
…
Just after reviving, Bai didn’t pay attention to the half-paralyzed Arcade and Ye Nan. He quickly got up and crawled to the heart. Then, Bai picked up the heart, just about to use Five Glories Cave to seal Tang Haofei again, when his actions suddenly froze.
