Mirror Flower Water Moon!

The red mist around Yang Lin is increasing, and his energy is surging.

"Peak of the third tier?"

Bai Ye muttered to himself as if he had thought of something. Was it something from the Inner World that did this?

"Is this your trump card?"

Bump!

Yang Lin charged out from the red mist, sword in hand, the blade gleaming. Bai Ye attacked with his sword, but this time Yang Lin was not forced to retreat.

The two exchanged blows, but Bai Ye was superior in both skill and ability.

What troubled Bai Ye was the red mist. Its origin was unknown, so Bai Ye began to intentionally avoid it.

Bai Ye took a step back to create distance, and the white sword in his hand transformed into Yang energy, enveloping his arm and piercing directly through the red mist!

Yang Lin pressed close to the sword tip, colliding directly with his palm!

As a result, countless plants suddenly sprouted from inside Bai Ye's arm, squeezing out all his muscles, bones, tendons, and blood vessels!

Pfft!

With his arm cracking and covered in plants, Bai Ye made a ruthless decision and cut off the arm with his black sword. Then, he used his Yang energy to condense a white energy arm!

Seeing Bai Ye's expression, Yang Lin attacked again!

"So you can feel fear too?"

Block!

Yang Lin swung his sword again, but this time it was caught by Bai Ye's hand made of white mist!

"Fear?"

"All living beings have seven emotions and six desires, but fear is the only emotion that is ingrained in their bones."

"To overcome fear, I became fear!"

Bai Ye spoke, he wielded a black sword and swiftly attacked. Yang Lin's pupils widened, and a large number of hard tree roots erupted from his body!

However, Bai Ye's Yin energy directly severed the tree roots, and in an instant, a sharp and swift killing aura surged out violently!

That move again, the final strike!

Ascend to heaven!

"Absolute Darkness!"

Nightmare enveloped the battlefield in darkness, Bai Ye's gaze turned cold!

"This is never going to end."

Then there's no need to hold back. Slaughter all living things within a hundred miles of this place!

Just as Bai Ye was thinking this, someone suddenly flew over!

Bai Ye felt a tearing sound behind him as yin energy was released and ripped backward!

But at this moment, the old man of the I Ching reversed his five senses again!

Bai Ye turned in the wrong direction, and by the time he realized it, the rapidly approaching figure had already grabbed him by the back!

It is the Lord of Flesh and Blood!

In the darkness, 009 tossed the Lord of Flesh and Blood into the air and threw him directly at Bai Ye with Absolute Accuracy!

"If we don't pull a fast one on you, do you really think we're all just sitting around doing nothing?"

As 009 shouted, the Lord of Flesh and Blood expanded his body, transforming into Meat Mountain. The massive flesh and blood matter completely enveloped and swallowed Bai Ye's body!

Absolute Rot has hit Bai Ye, Bai Ye's body immediately begins to rot!

The sharp sword energy and edge dissipated, and the Absolute Darkness was also dispelled!

The Lord of Flesh and Blood felt Bai Ye's body dissipate within him, slowly returning to human form.

"I told you, if you let me get close, you will surely die."

After saying that, the Lord of Flesh and Blood looked at Yang Lin, who was holding a sword, and said, "It's all thanks to you for attracting his attention. Ever since you appeared, Bai Ye's attention has been entirely on you."

"Now, it's all over."

009 reached out and looked at the watch on his wrist. "It's a little faster than I expected. December 31st, there are only three hours left until the New Year."

"Gentlemen, I think we can start our victory celebration early..."

"Wrong!"

For some reason, Yang Lin suddenly interrupted 009.

009 frowned. "What's wrong?"

What's wrong?

"Something's not right about this Bai Ye!"

Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, one of the Queen Bee's clones suddenly frowned.

"Yes... something's not right."

What are you talking about?

"They can't feel it."

"Because their Mental Power is too low." The Queen Bee said, turning to look at Yang Lin. She had fourth-level Mental Power and could sense it.

Bai Ye's Mental Power did not dissipate.

Why would you say that?

Because reaching the fourth level of Mental Power is a qualitative change, the soul or spirit will be released after a person dies.

If one possesses a fourth-order spirit, one can clearly sense a fluctuation during the release of the soul.

This mental fluctuation will linger in the surrounding area for a long time.

However, when Bai Ye died, there was no mental fluctuation as one would when a soul is released.

So...

"Bai Ye is not dead!"

Click!

At that moment, everyone heard a crisp sound!

The sound was like glass or a mirror shattering—crisp, piercing, and exceptionally loud!

Yang Lin turned his head sharply and saw a figure wielding a black sword that pierced through his chest!

Pfft!

Yang Lin's pupils widened as black yin energy instantly surged into his body!

Before him lay a perfectly intact Bai Ye.

Bai Ye was holding a mirror in his hand, and the mirror was broken.

He casually tossed the mirror on the ground. It was a Containment Object he had acquired from the Mad Hatter Merchant for a hefty sum, called "Mirror Flower Water Moon."

It has a rather interesting ability: it can reflect an avatar projection.

This avatar projection possesses the exact same strength and abilities as the original body, like a reflection in a mirror.

However, if the reflection dies, the water mirror will shatter.

However, this is almost impossible, because the reflected image possesses pseudo-immortality.

Because it is a projection, it is immune to the vast majority of attacks.

Just like the Queen Bee's stingers, Bai Ye didn't actually block them; it's just that the stingers didn't actually prick him.

The same principle applies to Yang Lin's Spear of Yelloh. How could it be effective if it didn't pierce Bai Ye's body?

But even projection cannot stop both conceptual and absolute attacks.

The Lord of the Red Flow's power is the concept of life, while the Absolute Trait of the Lord of Flesh and Blood is that anything touched will rot.

Although the water mirror projects a shadow, it is only a conceptual projection, not that it is actually a shadow.

He is a clone with a fictional concept.

Therefore, the Lord of Flesh and Blood did indeed kill Bai Ye's projection, which caused Mirror Flower Water Moon to be completely destroyed.

However, Bai Ye achieved her goal.

Yang Lin was pierced through the body and immediately knelt down on the ground.

Seeing his expression, Bai Ye grinned, "Do you know what the most agonizing thing is?"

"The answer is, the process of waiting for death."

"I know when I will die, and I am both honored and terrified by it. I am not afraid of death."

"But I foresaw one thing: as the date of my death drew closer, the torment and agony would drive me insane."

"So I repeatedly make myself forget those memories, so that every day I am the same as yesterday."

"... What a pity, what a pity, because I overused the Golden Lotus Seed, those memories... I can't forget them."

"So every day from then on, I faced death head-on. But after facing death, I became more and more clear-headed and understood more and more what fate is!"

"This is my destiny."

"I do not accept this fate, so I rebel against it. If fate makes me die today, then I will grant fate its own death!"

"I do not accept this predetermined death."

Wide awake?

How can one be considered sober during the current Bai Ye?

Those who don't know him say he's always been a madman, but those who do know him know that Bai Ye is meticulous and thoughtful, and although his actions may seem absurd, he is actually very rational.

But where is Bai Ye's rationality now?

He hadn't even taken precautions against the betrayal of his nightmares; Yang Lin was all he cared about!

Because he felt that his destined death was brought about by Yang Lin!
