Gift of Pain

The Bikaku clashed with the bone sword, and the bone sword was directly sliced to pieces by the vertical Blade Scales on the Bikaku.

Seeing this, Qing Wufei stopped trying to withstand the attack and instead flew backward using the immense force of the blow.

The sudden, rapid retreat lifted the still-dry crimson stains on the ground, splashing water onto the scattered fragments of bones.

The slippery pool of blood made it difficult for Qing Wufei to stop her backward momentum.

Then, two more bone knives emerged from his sleeves.

He swung the two bone knives in his hands backward, using the small knife stuck in the ground to forcibly steady himself.

Qing Wufei looked at the Mid Fourth Realm of the Profound Realm opposite her, her face full of vigilance and solemnity.

These bone knives were all made from femurs he had collected over the years.

The femur of bipedal animals is one of the strongest bones.

Furthermore, during the grinding process, he continuously infused these bone knives with Psychic Energy.

Each one was sharp, hard, and perfectly suited to his Psychic Energy.

Therefore, the tentacled-like things that could cut through the bone knife imbued with Psychic Energy must have possessed terrifying attack power.

Shisui, under his watchful gaze, was clearly quite at ease.

Behind Shisui, eight Bikaku swayed leisurely.

Upon closer inspection, the tips of the Bikaku Blade Scales shimmered with a faint crimson hue.

Shisui adjusted the energy within his body, and entering the Sixth Realm of the Profound Realm greatly enhanced his control over his body once again.

The Bikaku, which has no spatial attributes, is now covered with a thin layer of Spatial Energy on its scales.

Because the Bikaku had never carried Spatial Energy before, it is now somewhat unfamiliar to use.

Therefore, Shisui only uses its Bikaku to hunt prey with exceptionally strong vitality.

As Qing Wufei was deliberately pushed back, Shisui exerted force with his feet and darted to the prey that had just stood still.

The Bikaku instantly closed together, and a powerful downward slam was delivered!

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

Qing Wufei, she had no time to dodge; her arms crossed, and her ulna snapped the instant she blocked the attack.

The force transmitted from above exacerbated Qing Wufei's already crumbling body.

Blood mixed with dark, lumpy particles gushed from his mouth, proof of ruptured organs.

In this situation, a normal person would be essentially unable to move and would be in a near-death state.

Unfortunately, Qing Wufei is not a normal person; he can't even be considered a "person."

Although his increasingly severe injuries significantly hampered his mobility.

But at the same time, the increasingly intense pain further stimulated his talent [the Gift of Pain].

Ha, what an ironic name.

Because of the pain, Qing Wufei's mind was oscillating between lucidity and confusion, making it impossible for her to concentrate.

Even though he was still in the middle of a battle, he started to let his mind wander and complain about the name of his talent.

The Psychic Energy rapidly generated from the soul spreads into the body, like winding up a puppet.

As Shisui stood still, waving his Bikaku which was undergoing testing and fine-tuning, he prepared to deliver one last powerful blow.

Qing Wufei, a moment after the Kagune left, moved again.

He swiftly dodged to the side, then circled around to Shisui's left rear, his bone knife aimed directly at Shisui's back.

However, before the sound of the bone knife piercing Shisui's flesh could be heard, a sudden change occurred.

The Bikaku, which was originally attacking downwards, suddenly appeared above Qing Wufei's head.

"Bang!"

The second heavy blow came crashing down, and this time, Qing Wufei had no time to block it.

Yes, the only option is to shift your body to avoid attacks on the head, heart, and spine as much as possible.

The sound of bones breaking rang out again, this time mixed with the sound of flesh being crushed.

Half of her body was severed by the scales of her Bikaku, which carried Spatial Energy, revealing the tattered interior of Qing Wufei's body.

Although his injuries were severe, they had not yet reached the limit that [the Gift of Pain] could achieve.

But having lost half of his body, he was unable to control the separated flesh.

And so, he finally became unable to move.

He collapsed to the ground, the Qing Wufei blood covering the original crimson.

Shisui sensed the other's almost non-existent breathing, faint but showing no sign of fading.

Qing Wufei's head was not hit, and he was still conscious and could still feel pain.

Therefore, the [Gift of Pain] continued to operate, forcibly keeping him alive.

With his Kakugan, Shisui clearly saw the Psychic Energy that was constantly gushing forth from the pain.

To still be alive after reaching this point, this guy is probably a high-level talent possessor.

Just as Shisui was about to use his [Fire Thief] talent to strip his prey, a gray-black transparent arrow flew towards him.

"Call out!"

Shisui tilted his head slightly, and the arrow tip grazed his soft white hair.

The arrow, without slowing down, pierced straight through a roadside tree not far behind him.

As the arrows appeared, the humidity in the air suddenly increased.

The instant Shisui dodged the attack, more transparent crystal arrows rained down upon him.

These attacks weren't particularly strong for Shisui, but their sheer number delayed his actions for a moment.

A figure made of water suddenly appeared, and the black dew that had condensed in the air instantly enveloped Qing Wufei on the ground.

The next moment, as the Bikaku struck, Qing Wufei's figure burst open like a bubble and vanished into the mist.

The human figure made of water suddenly materialized.

He held his longbow horizontally, blocking the attack from the Kagune.

Therefore, he also observed up close the dark Kagune that Shisui with a metallic luster.

"White hair, eight tails, you should also have two pairs of wings, right?"

The eerie blue hair stood out against the night sky; the newcomer was none other than Bixu, who had come from Yuanqing's side.

He instantly recalled the latest maximum arrest warrant issued by the Human Race at the end of last year.

Even the blurry image couldn't obscure the powerful and beautiful predatory organs, allowing Bixu to instantly memorize the wanted person's name.

"The Eight-Tailed Owl, the most wanted person on the Human Race's most wanted list. I never expected to run into him here. I'm really lucky today."

After revealing his form, Bixu couldn't wait to approach Shisui.

His words were laced with barely concealed excitement, and his eyes gleamed with the fervor of someone examining top-quality experimental material.

"They all think you're Demon Race, or a new creation from the Wanren Yako Laboratory."

"I'm different. I can sense the special nature of your soul. You are Spirit Race, an undiscovered Spirit Race!"

"Boom!"

Bixu was met with another sweeping attack from Bikaku.

Upon hearing the other party's first words, Shisui Sui's eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent.

His murderous intent intensified with each word he spoke.

With his Ukaku unfurled, Shisui appeared directly behind Bixu, his Steel Feathers aimed straight at his spine.
