Li Chenchen's eyes were wide, his pupils still trembling as he stared in disbelief at the palm frozen between his chest and abdomen.
A terrifying twisting force pierced through his body in an instant.
Pfft!
His muscles were completely torn apart, and his heart was twisted by the force that had penetrated his body, crushed in an instant like a wrung-out rag.
"Urgh—pfft!"
Dark blood, nearly black, sprayed from Li Chenchen's nostrils. A wave of nausea suddenly hit him, and he opened his mouth to vomit large mouthfuls of purplish-black blood mixed with pieces of internal organs.
Seeing this, Li Chenchen's face fell. He knew his time had come.
"Rakshasa Palm... what kind of mon—"
With a thud, Li Chenchen collapsed. His body began to convulse continuously—the organs of a body not yet entirely devoid of life were trying to restore its functions, while countless still-living cells wailed in a desperate attempt to save themselves.
But unfortunately, no miracle came.
Bai Cangshu simply stood before Clown Evans until his body stopped twitching.

Bai Cangshu watched the waterfall of notifications refresh before him impassively. Only at the end did he let out a listless sigh and accept the reality that Evans was truly dead.
He touched the twisted muscles in his chest. That intense pain still allowed him to savor a little of the thrill from the battle just now.
The violent pounding of his heart gradually slowed, but the sensation of being at death's door had inexplicably addicted him. Looking at the corpse on the ground, he even wanted the other man to stand back up so they could fight again.
"Tch, Evans, you hadn't even learned a single Niko Style secret technique? How useless."
Bai Cangshu suddenly felt somewhat disappointed in Evans. Perhaps, in a sense, the other man truly had escaped the mindset of an ordinary person, but his strength ultimately fell far short of Bai Cangshu's expectations.
Whether it was his level in the Diviner Sequence or his mastery of Niko Style martial arts, both had disappointed Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu suddenly grabbed the twisted muscle in his chest and tore it downward with force. The bone-deep pain twisted his face.
Lying prone on the ground, Xiao Ning listened to the sound of muscles tearing and felt every hair on his body stand on end. He was utterly certain that this was not something a human could do, at least not any human he knew.
An ordinary person could be incapacitated by the pain of a cramp for half a day. How could someone restore their own dislocated, twisted muscles like this...
In truth, Bai Cangshu had not taken the full force of that Rakshasa Palm.
The instant he entered Absolute Territory, he completely saw through the force and rotation behind the Rakshasa Palm. Drawing on the Niko Style: Redirection Kata: Willow he had seen before, he applied force throughout his body in the same direction as that violent twisting power.
That was why he had appeared to spin through the air and be sent flying more than ten meters, smashing through the door in such a miserable state.
Yet the twisting force of the Rakshasa Palm had failed to fully exert itself, with Bai Cangshu spinning to deflect most of it.
That was why Bai Cangshu had not died from twisted internal organs and could instead rise to continue fighting.
Every seemingly unbelievable act of madness always concealed reason and causality that outsiders could not comprehend. This was the unique "rationality" Bai Cangshu believed he possessed.
Bai Cangshu rose to his feet and looked impassively at Sister Hong and Xiao Ning, causing both of them to tremble uncontrollably.
Sister Hong's face was pale. Her palm had already been pierced through, and now, seeing Bai Cangshu with none of his former handsome appearance left, looking at her with eyes devoid of even a trace of warmth, foul-smelling urine instantly streamed down her legs.
"Bai... Brother Bai, don't kill... us..."
Her terror was so extreme that she could not even form a complete sentence.
Xiao Ning was shaking like a leaf as well. He had indeed seen Bai Cangshu fight before, and that crazed appearance had frightened him, but Bai Cangshu had never killed anyone on those occasions!
He was absolutely certain that Bai Cangshu had truly killed that equally terrifying young man just now.
Murder... Having witnessed it himself, he could not think of any reason why the crazed Bai Cangshu would spare him.
His scalp seemed to tear with pain, born from the overwhelming terror that surged up at the thought of his imminent death.
"Xiao Ning, take your woman and these people and get out. What happened today..."
At that moment, Xiao Ning seemed unable to feel the agonizing pain of the bones in his hand having been sliced apart. His desperate desire to live sent adrenaline flooding through him. He immediately dropped to his knees and began kowtowing repeatedly, swearing oath after oath.
"What happened today, we'll take it to our graves. No matter who asks, all we know is that there was a gas explosion in the basement today. As for anything else..."
"Heh."
Bai Cangshu's laugh made Xiao Ning too afraid to continue.
Bai Cangshu patted Xiao Ning's head. Even though the force was light, Xiao Ning instinctively sprawled onto the ground. Even the spot atop his head Bai Cangshu had touched felt like it was burning with pain.
That was proof that he was terrified beyond measure.
But Bai Cangshu had no need for his oaths and vows.
Before leaving the Space, he had already consulted it about the Space's confidentiality agreement, as well as what happened when Reincarnators died in the real world.
Because Reincarnators possessed an excess of information from other worlds, they had long since become a kind of asset to the Space.
Thus, when a Reincarnator died, their corpse would ultimately vanish and transform into a Scarlet Drop Card. Everything about them would be forgotten.
Whether family, friends, or even strangers who had only just met them, all would forget that they had ever existed.
A dead Reincarnator became like a blank file, with everything about them completely erased.
After Xiao Ning dragged Sister Hong, who was covered in urine, and the two unconscious people out of the basement, Bai Cangshu reached out and touched Li Chenchen's corpse.
The intricate pattern on his right hand appeared once more, turning scarlet. In an instant, it seemed to burst through his body and envelop Li Chenchen's corpse directly.
Moments later, Li Chenchen's corpse had completely vanished from the world, leaving behind a Drop Card glowing with a scarlet sheen, floating before Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu reached out and caught it.
