Self-Sacrifice Art, Nagai on the Run (Please Keep Reading, Please Vote)

Bai Xing was not deeply versed in traditional martial arts, but with his World-Shaking Wisdom, he could draw upon their principles.

Now, he had borrowed from the theory of Seeing God Invulnerability, then combined it with the inspiration born from the Desperate Self-Sacrifice Fist.

He created an auxiliary cultivation art.

He named it the "Self-Sacrifice Art"!

This was something that only those possessing both an Ajin constitution and Magnetic Force could make use of.

Once the Self-Sacrifice Art was activated, it could multiply one's strength in a short period of time!

The price was that the user's body would begin to collapse.

The greater the boost in strength, the faster the body would collapse.

At present, it could reach a maximum fourfold increase!

For ordinary people, this was something to stake their lives on at the final moment.

But Ajin could use it as a regular method.

After all, even if they died, they could quickly regenerate.

The Desperate Self-Sacrifice Fist could only unleash power at the instant of a punch, achieving the effect of injuring the enemy by a thousand while harming oneself by eight hundred.

The Self-Sacrifice Art, however, could keep one in a state of doubled combat power at all times, and it could also be combined with other moves, such as Rapid Bullet Fist and Machine Gun Fist.

Since the battle at the Crisis Management Center, Bai Xing had secluded himself in the Training Room.

He perfected Machine Gun Fist and turned his idea into reality, bringing the Self-Sacrifice Art into existence.

Before entering seclusion, Bai Xing had sealed the Training Room from the inside to avoid having his train of thought interrupted, forbidding anyone from disturbing him.

Now that he counted the time, four or five days had already passed. He had no idea what changes had occurred outside.

Had Sato continued causing trouble?

Although Bai Xing had blasted him into fragments last time, he knew Sato would not die so easily.

With organs scattered across the world, Sato practically possessed countless Resurrection Armors.

Unless he could be trapped, truly killing him would be an extremely difficult task.

Bai Xing had attacked him partly because Sato's strength was impressive and he had felt the urge to test his skills.

The other reason was to teach him a lesson, to let him know there were always greater heights and to make him pay for trying to drag Bai Xing into the mess.

Several days had passed now. The regenerated Sato had certainly returned; Bai Xing simply did not know whether he had continued causing trouble.

Bai Xing left the Training Room. Right beside it was his residence.

He first took a comfortable hot bath, then called Iketani.

But the call did not go through.

"Hm?"

That was truly rare.

Ever since Bai Xing had taken charge, Iketani had practically become his personal assistant.

He handled all of Bai Xing's miscellaneous affairs.

For a time, Takahashi Hitomi had taken over that role, but she was clearly nowhere near as capable as Iketani.

Later, Iketani returned to Bai Xing's side.

Yet now, his call could not get through.

It gave Bai Xing a faint feeling that something was wrong.

He immediately called Takahashi Hitomi.

After the dial tone rang for a while, the call was finally answered.

But before Bai Xing could speak, Takahashi Hitomi's pained voice came through the phone.

Then there was silence.

After waiting a while.

Takahashi Hitomi had presumably finished regenerating. Panting heavily, she picked up the phone.

"Bai-chan, something terrible has happened! They're all dead! Everyone is dead! Urgh...!"

Takahashi Hitomi immediately began groaning in pain again.

Bai Xing raised an eyebrow.

He stood up, opened the window, and looked outside.

Even with his composure, the sight beyond the window gave him a fright!

The streets were packed with traffic, yet the scene that should have been bustling and lively was deathly silent.

Every vehicle had stopped, and corpses littered the sidewalks.

Boom!!

A violent explosion suddenly erupted from a building in the distance.

Judging by the situation, it was most likely caused by a gas leak.

That meant it was not just the streets. The residential buildings were the same.

Everyone was dead!

Bai Xing had not expected that after merely going into seclusion, the world would undergo such a drastic change when he emerged.

It was as though he had entered the wrong set and transmigrated into some apocalyptic disaster movie!

Poison gas swept toward him, and Bai Xing could feel it as well.

But it could not harm him in the slightest, so there was no need for him to care.

Still, it was enough for him to understand what had happened.

AJVX special neurotoxin gas!

Scenes from the Ajin movie surfaced in his mind.

The situation was obvious. Someone had released AJVX special neurotoxin gas!

And there was no need to guess who that person was.

Sato!

This guy really was talented at making big things happen.

Each mess he stirred up was bigger than the last!

As long as he was around, the people of this island nation probably would not have peaceful days.

Bai Xing did not rush outside. He first turned on his computer, preparing to get a general understanding of the situation.

The previous livestream had already been shut down.

But recordings were everywhere.

They were easy to find.

The event known as "Tokyo Extinction" had gone viral online, causing a massive shock across the globe!

Whether it was public channels, private channels, or even in-game chat channels, everyone was discussing it.

After watching the recorded video, Bai Xing could only exclaim, "Damn."

Leaving his room, he found corpses everywhere throughout the building as well.

In the team leader's office, Bai Xing found Takahashi Hitomi, who was dying and regenerating over and over.

He used Magnetic Force to shield her from the toxins, freeing her from that painful cycle.

"Bai-chan."

Takahashi Hitomi had never experienced such a situation before. At this moment, she seemed to have reverted to the weak and frail state she had once been in.

Bai Xing ignored her and merely gazed quietly at the distant scene.

The virus-laden air was gradually spreading outward.

It was as though an invisible grim reaper was constantly swinging the scythe in its hand.

With every swing, it harvested a swath of human lives.

After death passed beyond the building, it continued spreading over a thousand meters away, still expanding at a visible rate.

It formed an exceptionally strange sight.

In the distance, countless cars roared as they crashed wildly about. People wept, screamed, and scattered in flight.

Every ugliness of human nature was displayed to the fullest.

Then, when an invisible gust of wind passed through, they began falling like wheat before a scythe.

First, their limbs convulsed and became paralyzed. Then their mouths twisted and their eyes went crooked. Finally, their brain cells failed, and they died.

There were no rivers of blood, no roaring artillery fire.

There was only invisible yet oppressive death, pressing closer step by step!

This unknown, elusive, unavoidable, irresistible death.

It carried a more crushing sense of oppression than any monster ever could.

"Heh!"

As he watched, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Bai Xing's lips.

"Sato, Sato, you really know how to bring me surprises.

I'll accept this gift. As your reward, I'll let you die one more time!"

Elsewhere.

Under the influence of poison, pain, guilt, hatred, and other emotions.

The power within Nagai and Shimomura Izumi surged steadily upward.

Electric light burst across their bodies as a low roar emerged from Nagai's throat.

Sato stood where he was, excitement gleaming in his half-lidded eyes.

"Not bad, very good! This power is enough to excite me!"

Yet in the next second.

Nagai Kei's 200,000 Volts power did not clash with Sato at all.

Instead, he transformed into a streak of lightning and shot into the distance!

Shimomura Izumi, left behind where she stood, was completely dumbfounded!

The power driven by love and hatred could have allowed her to directly enter the realm of Magnetic Field Rotation if her aptitude had been sufficient!

But Shimomura Izumi's purity was still too low, and she had only risen to 150,000 Volts.

She had intended to join forces with Nagai and fight Sato, that demonic butcher, to the death.

Yet she had never expected Nagai to flee at the crucial moment?!

Was he really afraid?

Had he been frightened into retreat by Sato, that immortal madman burdened with tens of millions of lives?
