The Wonders of Paper Art

"I just want to live." After Red Dust Masked Man released her, Hongfen coughed violently for a while before she slowly recovered.

"Survive?" The Masked Man laughed. "Everyone wants to live, and so do I, but in this world, you can't just live by wishing."

This statement carries a sarcastic tone, and the words are not even concealed.

Survive?

Who wouldn't? The Masked Man wanted to too. Everyone in this world wants to live a good life, but for members of the Dark Building, survival is sometimes a luxury.

Once the organization gives the order, they have no choice but to die; there is no other possibility.

Unless you betray the organization, it's all just empty talk.

But is that possible? Absolutely not.

Their identities are special, they have betrayed the organization, are they going to defect to the Great Chu?

Leaving aside the various assassination attempts they faced after the betrayal.

Even when facing the Great Chu, they can forget about freedom.

How could a traitor possibly live well? "I know what you're thinking, but have you ever considered that we were all raised in the Great Chu Kingdom, cultivated into ruthless pawns by the Great Yue Kingdom?" Red Dust rubbed her reddened neck vigorously and said, "Why can't we control our own lives?"

Upon hearing this, the Red Dust unconsciously began to use her charm.

To everyone's surprise, the Masked Man remained unmoved and instead looked at the Red Dust woman with pitiful eyes.

Red Dust was startled, and this time she understood what the Manager meant.

The fact that this man is immune to my charm spells speaks volumes.

The Manager sent the Masked Man over; he wanted her dead.

"I know this idea is outrageous, but it's absolutely possible." Red Dust hurriedly said, "Don't you want to live? I can tell you, the Manager can kill me with a single word. Can you tolerate the feeling of having your life and death controlled by others?"

She was a little scared.

Since the Manager sent someone who was unaffected, it must mean they wanted to kill her directly. It seems that the Manager doesn't care about the so-called jade at all and wants to nip all risks in the bud.

She could only speak as much as she could, at least there was still a glimmer of hope.

When one's own resources are insufficient to be valued by the other party, one can only pin their hopes on forming alliances.

Red Dust simply hoped that she could persuade this Masked Man.

As it turned out, her idea was correct, because she saw a hint of hesitation on the Masked Man's face.

Thinking of this, Red Dust decided to add fuel to the fire.

"If my plan succeeds, at least we can live a peaceful and stable life like ordinary people," Red Dust said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the Masked Man finally made a move.

"Can the poison that Dark Building gave us be cured?" The Masked Man asked hesitantly.

Every member of the Dark Building Dark Building takes a poison upon joining, and if they do not take the Dark Building's antidote regularly, they will surely die.

This is the shackle that binds every member of the Dark Building.

"It can be cured." Red Dust said confidently, "Once this poison is cured, would you still dare to stay by the Manager's side?"

The Masked Man was taken aback. "Why should I stay? If I'm cured, I'll fly away and never appear again... I..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Masked Man couldn't continue.

After being detoxified, staying by the Manager would likely lead to being discovered.

But they flew far away...

Can they really fly far away?

They probably won't escape, after all, traitors are never welcome.

"So what we need to do is live a peaceful life," Red Dust said. "I have already glimpsed a corner of the Manager's plan. If we can perfect it and fake our death in this plan, we will have no worries."

At this point, Red Dust's gaze remained firm, without the slightest hesitation.

The Masked Man pondered, "Tell me about it."

Red Dust shook her head. "I will tell you the rest of the story, but not now. Just tell me that I ran away and you didn't kill me."

The meaning was already clear: she didn't want to tell the Masked Man now, because she was worried that Masked Man would turn his back on her.

The Masked Man said sullenly, "Then you have to tell me how to cure the poison. If you don't tell me anything, won't I lose both my money and my life?"

Her Red Dust brows furrowed.

What the Masked Man said earlier did make some sense.

We are all human beings, not livestock. How can we be fooled with just a few words?

After a moment of thought, Red Dust relaxed her brows and said, "I spent a lot of time researching before I came up with the antidote. I can only tell you half of it now to prevent you from testing it and arousing unnecessary suspicion."

As she spoke, she read out several medicinal herbs.

Although there were only a few medicinal herbs, the Masked Man kept repeating the name in his mind, and it did have a slight restraining effect.

"I will go back now and tell the Manager that I have failed," the Masked Man said slowly. "If you have a new plan, you can let me know."

Red Dust nodded, indicating that she definitely would.

The Masked Man turned around, preparing to leave.

At this moment, Red Dust breathed a sigh of relief and also prepared to leave this place of trouble.

She really didn't expect the Manager to be so decisive, not giving her any chance at all, and not even wanting to bargain.

"Let's leave first and find a place to hide," Red Dust thought.

She would be safe once the Masked Man left; what she had just said was a complete lie to Masked Man.

How could she possibly ask for an extra helper? More people mean more risk of failure. She's not stupid; why would she do something so foolish?

Once we escape today, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly.

As for how to fake death, there are plenty of ways, so there's no need to rush.

Thinking about this, Red Dust felt a little smug, not expecting the other party to be so easy to fool.

But before she could be happy for long, she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, followed by a pain in her chest.

Looking down, Red Dust discovered that there was a huge, gaping hole in her chest.

Inside the blood-soaked cave, the Masked Man's hand was gripping her heart, applying slight pressure.

As a skilled fighter, while Red Dust's fighting ability may not be the most outstanding, she possesses the necessary vitality.

"Why?" Besides the pain, Red Dust was filled with more confusion.

She had explained herself so clearly, but the other party didn't care at all and still wanted to kill her.

This is not right at all.

"Do you know that they're already preparing to use Seeking Traces?" the Masked Man said calmly. "That Xu Bai doesn't even mind doing more training to kill you. Once he finds you, he'll uncover many of the Dark Building's secrets."

Seeking Traces?

Red Dust was stunned. "Just to kill me, he dared to do so much?"

This news was even more shocking than the fact that she was about to die.

What makes her so special that the other party would resort to such self-destructive methods to find her? It's too much of a luxury.

"You just mentioned the secret of the Dark Building." The astonished expression on Red Dust slowly disappeared, turning into a bitter smile, with blood already trickling from the corner of her mouth. "So it's the Manager has arrived. I am truly honored."

The Manager so concerned about the secrets of the Dark Building must be the one in charge.

Every Manager was a die-hard, like a rock in a latrine—stinky and hard.

The Masked Man nodded, not denying it. "What's the second half of the antidote? You need a quick death. If you tell me, I'll give you a quick death."

Upon hearing Red Dust, Hongfen laughed loudly, "I never thought that a dignified Manager would also want the antidote. I thought you were so loyal to the Dark Building, but you're nothing special."

"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up!" the Masked Man said coldly.

To everyone's surprise, the Red Dust remained silent and didn't say a word.

The Masked Man sighed, then squeezed and crushed the Red Dust's heart with his right hand.

Actually, he could have waited a little longer, but he simply couldn't wait any longer.

According to reliable information, Xu Bai is already preparing to start practicing the Paper Art, with the aim of using it to track Seeking Traces.

If we pretend to let Red Dust off the hook now, and Xu Bai comes knocking on our door and then follows the trail, the outcome is predictable.

Unfortunately, he didn't get what he wanted.

"Jade, jade." The Masked Man muttered to himself, "That's the most crucial thing. I must find it. Since you're using the Seeking Traces, I'll turn the tables on you."

With that thought in mind, the Masked Man stopped lingering, disposed of the corpse in front of him, and turned to leave.

The river is still flowing, but no one knows that a major event once took place here.

Time slips away unnoticed.

During this period, Xu Bai has been constantly working on the progress bar.

After such a long period of relentless grinding, Xu Bai's gains were quite substantial.

First of all, I secretly completed half of the Ancient Moon Flying Sword Art, which is a huge breakthrough. I estimate that it won't be long before I finish it.

Secondly, and most importantly, the Paper Art Essence are complete.

Looking at the perfect progress bar in front of him, Xu Bai took a sip of tea and waited for the changes to happen.

A pale blue mist appeared, gradually transforming into a line of text that floated before Xu Bai.

[You observe and understand the essence of Paper Art Essence Paper Art Essence.]

As the text appeared, a flood of information entered Xu Bai's mind.

This time, there was no option to merge; it was a separate skill.

A new attribute panel appeared before Xu Bai's eyes.

[Name: Xu Bai]

[Realm Level: Fifth Rank Loose Cultivator.]

[Severing Break Three Styles (Tier 4): Max Level]

[Inverted Purple Firmament Gale Wind Yin Yang Chaos (Tier 5.5): Max Level.]

[Maple Leaves Like Rain (Tier 2): Max Level]

[Four-Directional Step Technique (Tier 3): Max Level.]

[Cosmic Shift (Tier 4): Max Level]

[Vajra Heart Demon Body (Tier 4); Max Level.]

[Strengthening Kidney Method (Tier 4): Max Level.]

[Hundred Poisons True Explanation (Tier 3): Max Level.]

[Paper Making Essentials (Tier 5): Max Level.]

[Comprehension (Max Level)]

Savoring the skills in his mind, Xu Bai's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied expression.

The head of the Chen Family family was able to create pseudo-fifth-tier paper figures even though he had not mastered the Paper Art Essence to perfection. Now that he has mastered it, fifth-tier paper figures are within his grasp.

And it's not just paper figures.

Xu Bai casually picked up a piece of Xuan paper from the table and folded it deftly.

His hands were so fast they left afterimages, countless times faster than those men who had been single for twenty years.

In the time it takes to breathe, a lifelike paper crane appears.

Xu Bai Xu Bai tossed the paper crane into the air, and it flapped its wings, swirling around him in a graceful manner.

After he grasped the Paper Art Essence, he discovered that Paper Art were not only for combat.

Paper figures are nice, but there are many more amazing things.

For example, paper cranes are a good tool for Seeking Traces.

There are also paper oxen and paper horses, each with its own unique charm.

However, there are some limitations to the fifth-tier paper doll.

Given Xu Bai's current level as Fifth Rank Loose Cultivator, he can only control one at most; he would be unable to handle more than that.

Of course, if one could activate the Strengthening Kidney Method, one could control more, but it's unnecessary, because his own strength cannot be measured by adding another paper doll.

Adding flowers to brocade is fine, but we must not put the cart before the horse.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai took out a lot of paper and started folding it.

Before long, a paper figure more than three meters tall appeared, with six hands, four of which held knives, spears, axes, and halberds.

Xu Bai infused a True Yuan Power, and an unexpected change occurred.

The paper figure originally had no facial features, but as Xu Bai infused it with his True Yuan Power, facial features began to appear, and there was even a strange blush on its cheeks.

The paper's color began to fade, but Xu Bai could see that the paper figure's strength was increasing rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, a fifth-tier paper doll was formed and established a mysterious connection with Xu Bai, which he could easily control.

This is a genuine fifth-rank paper doll, not the fake fifth-rank one that blocked our way before. Its strength is incomparable.

"Great, this is a good helper." Xu Bai waved.

The paper figure gradually shrank, eventually becoming the size of a fist, and landed flat on the table.

Xu Bai picked up the paper figure and put it into the bag at his waist.

After everything was settled, he got up, walked out of the room, and called Yun Zihai, Chu Yu, and Qin Feng over.

"It's done?" Yun Zihai was shocked when he heard Xu Bai's story.

No way, you learned it in such a short time?

Could it be that Brother Xu is really the reincarnation of an old monster?

Chu Yu lowered her head and muttered to herself, "Don't be competitive. I must stay calm, stay calm. Why can't I stay calm? It's so discouraging."

This is the most troublesome time for geniuses, because the blow is too painful.

"Is there any justice in this world? I feel like you've gotten even stronger!" Qin Feng was speechless.

He felt that he hadn't lost unjustly.

Losing to such a terrifying person would be a fair defeat for anyone.

"At least, I managed to hold out against him for several moves," Qin Feng thought.

"Well, it might be a bit slow." Xu Bai sighed and said, "After all, it's a fifth-level cultivation technique, so I'm cultivating it rather slowly."

Everyone: "..."

Hey, get this guy out of here!

This is slow?! Are you trying to kill us?!

Torture, absolute torture.

Every second they spent there, they felt they had failed to live up to the word "genius".

Yun Zihai felt he needed to change the subject quickly, or he would be miserable.

"Brother Xu, I'll go and bring Chen Yan here right away."

To Seeking Traces, there must be a trace to follow.

Chen Yan is the only surviving member of the Chen Family, and therefore the only clue. Starting with Chen Yan is naturally the best approach.

Over the past few days, Yun Zihai has been investigating and only began to focus on protecting Chen Yan after confirming that Chen Yan was not a problem.

After all, this is the only clue left.

A short while later, Chen Yan was brought over.

When he learned that Xu Bai had already mastered it, he was even more stunned.

Not only did they learn it, they also mastered some of the more advanced Seeking Traces, which is terrifying.

Chen Yan knew how to make paper offerings, and he knew what that meant.

The other person is definitely a genius; that was the case before when it came to paper-making.

Xu Bai didn't care about the expressions on everyone's faces, after all, it wasn't the first time they had seen each other.

Only after Chen Yan brought it over did he take out the paper crane in his hand.

The paper cranes fly so lifelike and vivid.

Xu Bai continued to channel in a True Yuan Power.

The paper cranes became even more lifelike, fluttering around Chen Yan.

After a short while, the paper crane seemed to have gotten tired of flying and left Chen Yan, heading outside.

"Keep up!" Xu Bai said, gripping the Ghost-Head Saber at his waist.

Without further hesitation, everyone began chasing after the paper crane.

Fortunately, it was almost nighttime, and there were few people on the streets.

The group followed, leaving Yunlai Prefecture and heading straight for the outskirts.

The paper cranes flew leisurely ahead, with Xu Bai and the others following behind. Before long, they were already quite far from Yunlai Prefecture.

The road was peaceful, without any obstacles, and no two people jumped out to block their way.

When they arrived, they found themselves in a forest.

The woods were dense, and there were no outsiders.

The paper cranes continued to fly and flap their wings until they reached a spot on the ground and slowly came to a stop.

Before long, the paper crane spontaneously combusted without fire, turning into a pile of ashes.

Xu Bai frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.

This means that the paper crane has found its target and completed its mission.

But the result was not satisfactory.

They did not find the Red Dust.

"Let's dig up the ground first," Xu Bai said.

The paper crane remained on the ground even though no Red Dust was found, indicating that something was underground, and that thing was definitely related to Red Dust.

If it's a clue, then I have to look into it.

Before the others could act, Qin Feng took the lead, dug up the soil, and took out a wooden box.

Upon seeing the wooden box, Xu Bai took it.

"Is this the thing?"

The wooden box was small and looked ordinary, with nothing particularly special about it.

However, since it's related to Red Dust, it must be anything but simple.

Xu Bai opened the wooden box and found a piece of jade the size of a peanut inside.

The jade shimmered with a hazy white light, flickering in the darkness, a truly beautiful sight.

"There's a strong energy inside," Xu Bai said after sensing it.

He could sense that there was a powerful energy within the jade.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a whooshing sound rang out.

"Hidden weapon!"

As someone who possesses the ability to capture the sound of Maple Leaves Like Rain, Xu Bai is very familiar with the sound of hidden weapons.

This hidden weapon is far more advanced than the Maple Leaves Like Rain" technique.

Yun Zihai naturally heard it too, and quickly raised the book in his hand.

The pages of the book fluttered in the air, forming a barrier in the sky.

The clanging and banging sounds were incessant, as dense as a summer night's downpour.

One after another, the throwing knives fell to the ground, only to be blocked by Yun Zihai's book pages.

"Fifth rank." Yun Zihai raised his eyebrows.

In the darkness of the woods, more than twenty figures approached them from afar.

The person at the very back held a throwing knife, which was constantly spinning in his hand.

All of these people were masked, and their true faces were not revealed.

"Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump? Or taking advantage of the situation?" Xu Bai took the jade stone out of the wooden box and put it into the money pouch at his waist.

The group of over twenty people, their imposing presence undiminished, exerted immense pressure on the other side when they came together.

This group of people are quite strong, all around the fifth rank.

"A bunch of fifth-rank soldiers, this is a bit troublesome." Qin Feng made a sword incantation, and his flying sword was unsheathed, circling around him continuously.

The group in front of us consisted not only of fifth-rank experts, but also quite a few.

"If we had just waited for it to fall into our hands, this jade would not have come to us. It seems we have turned the tables on you. Brother Yun, when we get back, I'm afraid your people will have to investigate thoroughly," Xu Bai said calmly.

Yun Zihai nodded.

Anyone here would understand that there is a traitor within the Yunlai Prefecture Prefectural Office.

Otherwise, why would the other party come out at this time? They had just dug something out and were blocked by someone. This is already quite obvious.

Upon hearing Xu Bai's words, the Masked Man laughed and said, "You should see if you can get out of here alive first."

More than twenty fifth-rank experts surrounding and killing four fifth-rank experts is extremely safe, even if these four fifth-rank experts are all geniuses.

--confidence.

Extreme self-confidence.

"Since we're all going to die anyway, why not grant our wish? Who's the person behind this?" Xu Bai asked, following the other's lead.

"You'd better die with regrets." The Masked Man wasn't stupid, so of course he wouldn't say that. He waved his hand and simply said, "Kill."

With just a single word, all the Masked Man's men sprang into action, unleashing a variety of methods.

Xu Bai was about to make a move, he noticed that more than a dozen Masked Man forcefully pushed him aside.

"This..."

Damn it, they gave up half their people just to deal with me? That's so unethical!

Xu Bai drew his Ghost-Head Saber from his waist, cursed under his breath, and slashed at the Masked Man in front.

As the True Yuan Power surged, a fierce wind arose, carrying a sharp killing intent, and swept back.

This strike was incredibly powerful.

At this moment, the Masked Man at the front seemed to have also seen Xu Bai's move, and raised his hands, which began to spin continuously.

As the gale approached the Masked Man, it rapidly shrank and soon disappeared.

Numerous cracks appeared at the feet of the Masked Man.

Upon seeing this, Xu Bai raised an eyebrow. "Transfer?"

This Masked Man's ability is similar to the Cosmic Shift, but it is much Cosmic Shift.

"Cosmic Shift" is a combination of relocation and counterattack, but this Masked Man can only relocate, leaving the ground to bear the brunt of Xu Bai's blade.

However, now is clearly not the time to look around, because reinforcements have already attacked.

As we all know, in a group fight, especially when a dozen people are fighting one person, the only ones who can actually make a move are the four or five people in the innermost circle, because there is no other space.

As various weapons hurtled towards him, each possessing terrifying power, Xu Bai neither dodged nor evaded, and the dark light of his Vajra Heart Demon Body appeared.

When the weapon struck him, the dark light showed some cracks.

Without saying a word, Xu Bai used the Cosmic Shift.

The opponents were all fifth-rank experts, Cosmic Shift could only slightly deflect their movements, but it had already served to deflect their force.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent turned away, Xu Bai raised his Ghost-Head Saber and slashed around.

But at that moment, the Ghost-Head Saber encountered a slight resistance.

The remaining Masked Man grabbed their weapons and blocked Xu Bai's Ghost-Head Saber.

Xu Bai: "???"

These ten or so people seem to be specifically trying to control him.

The first person was used for relocation, but in reality, it was for defense.

The next few attackers were all melee fighters, who almost completely restrained him.

These last few locked his weapons.

"As expected, they came prepared. It seems we must eliminate this spy from Yunlai Prefecture as soon as possible," Xu Bai thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Yun Zihai and the others were also in poor condition.

First, Yun Zihai was surrounded by several Masked Man.

The opponent seemed to know Yun Zihai's weakness and took advantage of his frail health and poor physical condition, engaging in close combat.

Fortunately, Yun Zihai's book pages were very strong, and he was always on the defensive.

Chu Yu and Qin Feng were both in very poor condition.

They were surrounded by a group of people, some of whom were specifically targeting the flying sword, while others were dealing with Chu Yu and his companion.

Without their flying swords, they could only use the Formless Heart Sutra defend themselves.

This is restraint.

Moreover, it was a restraint specifically designed for them.

If some fifth-rank experts were here, they might have already broken through the impasse.

But the other side meticulously planned to prevent them from escaping.

"Brother Yun, you'll have to pay more!" Xu Bai shouted.

No sooner had I shouted than I was attacked from all sides.

The Ghost-Head Saber was entangled and engaged in close combat, its dark light teetering precariously.

Fortunately, Xu Bai had a kidney-strengthening method, and Wu Guang replenished his energy quickly.

However, True Yuan Power is also consumed very quickly.

Yun Zihai kept frowning, defending while looking for an opportunity to break the deadlock.

Upon hearing Xu Bai's words, Yun Zihai turned around and said loudly, "If Brother Xu can break this deadlock, I'll add more money. I'll go and get you a fifth-grade book from the Academy."

Chu Yu: "..."

Qin Feng: "..."

They were also dealing with the attacks, and their expressions changed after hearing Xu Bai and Yun Zihai's words.

Chu Yu smiled with relief. Since Xu Bai had offered to pay more, there was no problem.

Pay more, get things done—that's Xu Bai's style. It proves that he can get things done; otherwise, Xu Bai wouldn't offer more money at all.

At this moment, Chu Yu had only two words in her mind—it was all settled.

Qin Feng, however, looked completely puzzled.

Are people this direct these days?

Fight! We are fighting!

Although there is no immediate danger, we are being entangled, and if this continues, it will be easy for a weakness to emerge.

In this extremely tense moment, you're asking for more money? Isn't that just too out of place with the atmosphere? Qin Feng really wanted to complain, but the Masked Man had been leading the attack on Xu Bai got there first and got angry.

"Add more money? You should worry about your own life first, don't lose it."

The Masked Man attacked while barely concealing his anger.

This is an insult to him! Can't you guys be serious for once? Can't you stop being so frivolous! If adding money can solve the problem, what's the point of having them? The more he thought about it, the angrier the Masked Man became.

"Boy, your knife is blocked by me, and your attempt to redirect it is useless. You won't even have a chance to use your poison. See the people behind me? If they try to use poison, I'll redirect it. How long can you defend yourself? I will exhaust you and humiliate you to death! Then I'll turn around and kill them!"

As he spoke, the Masked Man felt a little better.

Xu Bai said "Oh," and then added, "Actually, the problem can be solved by simply paying more money."

As he spoke, Xu Bai made a gesture at his waist.

As Xu Bai made this movement, something pale appeared before the Masked Man's eyes.

Pale, with strange makeup on her face.

This is a paper figure the size of a fist.

As soon as the paper figure appeared, before the Masked Man could react, Xu Bai casually tossed it aside.

The paper figure suddenly grew larger, reaching a height of over three meters in the blink of an eye, wielding knives, spears, axes, and halberds, and descended from the sky.

"What is this thing? I know he can Paper Art, but didn't he just learn it? How come he made a fifth-grade paper figure for me?"

The Masked Man felt completely bewildered and couldn't react at all.

The scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension.

Didn't the Manager say that the other party had just learned the Paper Art? How could they have conjured up a fifth-grade paper figure so easily?

Something's not right; this doesn't make any sense!

Not only him, but also Yun Zihai and the others were stunned.

"Brother Xu must be the reincarnation of an old monster!" Yun Zihai thought.

"As expected of the young master, no wonder my father and uncle were fighting over him and almost came to blows." Chu Yu didn't know how to describe it, her heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

The most shocked person was Qin Feng.

"What? He just learned this? If he only studied one thing, wouldn't he have already reached the first rank?" Qin Feng originally wanted to fight Xu Bai again, but now he gave up the idea.

What can we use to fight?

These are not even in the same league. Isn't this just asking for trouble? Forget it, I'll just stay here and fish quietly.

In this cold world, only fishing can give me a little warmth.

Of course, the scene before us was inexplicable, because after the paper figure fell, it brandished four weapons.

The paper figure wore a strange smile, and the weapon in its hand was powerful and incredibly strong.

The Masked Man reacted quickly, retreating swiftly as the weapons fell, narrowly avoiding them.

But this retreat changed the entire landscape.

A butterfly flapping its wings can trigger a tsunami.

Their strategy against Xu Bai was completely disrupted at this moment.

Xu Bai felt a sense of relief wash over him, and then a cold smile appeared on his face, revealing a murderous aura.

—They're finished.

"Now it's my turn to perform."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Masked Man had a bad feeling.

But it was too late.

Xu Bai used the Four-Directional Movement Technique to arrive in front of the Masked Man had initially diverted his aura, and struck the Masked Man in the chest with a palm.

The Masked Man quickly raised his hands and transferred the dark light from Xu Bai's hands to the ground.

But before he could even transfer halfway through, he suddenly discovered that the energy had become uncontrollable.

The Masked Man looked up, his face filled with horror, and saw Xu Bai smiling at him.

That smile was terrifying, like looking at a dying person; it was mocking and murderous.

"When it comes to relocation, I'm the expert."

The dark light that was transferred was partly disrupted by the Cosmic Shift.

Although it was only a part, it was enough to completely disrupt the Masked Man's aura.

"Ah--"

The Masked Man clutched his chest and cried out in pain.

The next moment, a flash of cold light appeared, and the Masked Man's head flew high into the air, spinning around and staring wide-eyed, his death unresolved.

Xu Bai turned around and looked at the remaining Masked Man, his tone like that of a grim reaper from the abyss, sending chills down one's spine.

"Next, it's your turn. Now, the killing begins."
