Chapter 565: Domineering Fierceness, All Retreat
Roar!
An even more intense roar erupted in the air, shaking Yang Yan underground to the point where he almost canceled his ninjutsu.
This kind of sonic wave was absolutely abnormal. It was no longer a roar that creatures of the natural world could produce.
[You suffered an attack from an Infected of the Desire Curse (Early Stage). Based on the difference in Spirit attributes between the two sides, you obtained the following information:]
[You suffered a sonic attack from an infected. Vestibular organs damaged, eardrums ruptured...]
Yang Yan held his breath and glanced at the panel.
Infected of the Desire Curse?
What the hell is that!
There was no prompt showing Reincarnator information. Either the other party's Spirit attribute completely crushed his own, or this monster truly wasn't controlled by a Reincarnator.
Yang Yan's mind tensed up again.
Moreover, he noticed that the lightning that just fell from the air didn't appear this time.
Did Your Excellency Mercenary Tao not notice this monster?
No, that possibility is small. My call for help could immediately get a response from Your Excellency Mercenary Tao, meaning I have already entered his perception range.
After Yang Yan escaped from Yun Wujiu's pursuit, his thinking actually calmed down a lot. Even though he was somewhat dizzy at this time, he quickly grasped where the problem lay.
These monsters are permitted to exist by Your Excellency Mercenary Tao!
Or rather, these monsters might exactly be created by Mercenary Tao, in order to keep ordinary people away from this [Paradise] exclusive to Reincarnators!
Yang Yan also harbored some consciousness of [Reincarnator Supremacy]. Therefore, seeing these monsters "surrounding" the outside of the Paradise city, he instinctively thought it was Your Excellency Mercenary Tao deliberately using this method to exclude ordinary people.
Although Kaito Shirogane didn't have considerations in that regard, in reality, [Meme · Curse (Desire)] would indeed become a quarantine zone on a certain level, if these mutants were not cleared away.
Using Earth Release, Yang Yan traveled underground for over two hundred meters. Feeling the increasingly solid foundation underground, he finally surfaced.
The monster behind him let out an even more frantic roar. The decibel level of that sound had already exceeded the range humans could endure.
Yang Yan turned around and threw dozens of shurikens, whistling as they embedded into the monster's body.
Pfft pfft pfft...
The monster hissed and fell to the ground.
Yang Yan's heart stirred. Although this monster looked terrifying and possessed the ability of sonic attacks, its defense was quite weak.
He was pondering whether to go forward and check, but saw that monster sway a few times and stand up again. The wounds on its neck torn open by his shurikens also rapidly healed.
"Is this... High-Speed Regeneration?!"
"Perhaps even Immortality!"
His eyes lit up, and his hands formed mudras.
[Shadow Clone Jutsu]!
Yang Yan was a relatively pure "Ninja" strengthening Reincarnator. Besides the Chakra energy system and ninjutsu from Naruto, he had previously strengthened some ninjutsu from other systems as well.
His combat power wasn't considered powerful, but his reconnaissance and escape abilities were quite good.
The shadow clones from both sides ran rapidly towards the monster with their arms hanging behind them.
Splash!
Chilling freezing air violently erupted from within the dense forest in the distance. That small river at this time actually presented a posture like a bursting dam. A large amount of river water, accompanied by freezing air, rushed out from the forest.
It actually had somewhat of a posture of a melting glacier surging forward.
Before the two shadow clones even arrived, that monster was swallowed by the glacier. In the next moment, the two shadow clones dodged a few times, but still fell into the glacier because there was nowhere to step.
In an instant, they exploded into smoke and disappeared.
Yang Yan's main body didn't hesitate to turn around and run. Within that freezing air was an aura he found familiar and terrifying. It was just that compared to before, Yun Wujiu's power at this time seemed even more frantic!
Yang Yan sprinted wildly towards the city in a ninja running posture. The glacier surged wildly behind him.
The freezing air was even more like a maggot attached to the bone, getting closer and closer.
Fortunately, that quaint and massive [Paradise] wasn't far from him. His figure shot inside directly from a collapsed section of the wall like lightning. Stepping above the shops, constantly leaping and dodging, he then turned around to look at the rushing glacier, ready to decide whether to climb that high tower depending on the situation.
Sizzle!
The violently churning thunderclouds were almost connecting with the top of the black tower at this time. Abruptly, a blue-white lightning flashed explosively from within.
The front end of the glacier exploded violently, revealing the white-haired man hiding inside.
At this moment, Yun Wujiu's eyes were pitch-black, his whole person radiating intense freezing air and mental power around him.
Yang Yan frowned. That state was absolutely not normal.
Sure enough, after Yun Wujiu was blocked by the lightning strike, he didn't stop his steps. The freezing air spread again, striking towards the city.
Yang Yan also grew tense. Yun Wujiu was also a Title-level Reincarnator, and his strength seemed to have enhanced again at this time. Although Your Excellency Mercenary Tao was absolutely stronger than the other party, after all, Your Excellency Mercenary Tao hadn't appeared yet...
Yang Yan prepared to continue running away first.
Sizzle~ Bang!
Like a bolt from the blue, the sky abruptly lit up, followed by a terrifying sound exploding in the air.
Yang Yan's eardrums, which were already ruptured, felt as if countless needles were stabbing inside at this moment. The intense tinnitus made him completely unable to control his center of gravity, directly falling from the shop to the ground.
By the time his vision returned to normal, he only saw the glacier severed, the freezing air completely dispersed, and the charred Yun Wujiu kneeling outside Paradise.
Green smoke curled up from the pitch-black body. His right arm had already been blasted flying. Many granulations squirmed on the wound, but the recovery speed was obviously much slower than that monster just now.
Yang Yan could be considered to have seen quite a few Reincarnators from mission worlds, and ordinarily would also pay special attention to information in various works.
At this time, he also realized that Yun Wujiu, just like that monster, was probably in some kind of infected state, possessing a special recovery ability.
But that kind of recovery ability couldn't reach the level of Immortality, and couldn't be immune to damage types like fire and lightning strikes. Therefore, after suffering a lightning strike, the severed limb didn't regenerate, and the physical healing speed was also extremely slow.
He licked his lips, greed emerging from his heart.
If at this time, I execute [Fire Release: Dragon Flame Jutsu], it is highly likely to kill Yun Wujiu in this state!
With the gap in strength between myself and Yun Wujiu, and it being a kill in the real world, there is a great possibility that a Scarlet Drop Card will appear!
Greed rose in Yang Yan's heart. He raised his hands, about to start forming mudras in an instant, but in the next moment.
Boom!
As if a hurricane erupted.
A fierce and violent momentum attacked from the high tower behind him like a landslide and tsunami.
The madness of that momentum was far more terrifying than a category 12 hurricane. For a moment, he almost felt like he was standing naked on the ocean facing a monstrous tornado directly.
An extremely overbearing momentum instantly swallowed his mind completely.
Yang Yan shuddered all over, his eyes turning white. Let alone forming mudras, he couldn't even manage to move. If it weren't for the terrifying stinging pain constantly appearing in his eardrums, he suspected he might even faint directly.
[You suffered the influence of a special ability. Based on the difference in mental power between the two sides, you obtained the following information:]
[You suffered the influence of Conqueror's Haki. You have entered a shuddering state. Movement speed and spellcasting ability are massively affected...]
Conqueror's Haki...
Black-red lightning constantly swept from the top of the tower. Brushing past Yang Yan's body, he instantly collapsed.
And outside the city, countless bizarre roars also instantly became panicked. Even those monsters felt the terror of this domineering and fierce momentum and began to stay away.
The nearest Yun Wujiu had his hair dancing scattered backwards, the freezing air disappearing instantly. After his eyes trembled a few times, the blackness disappeared, and the lingering look of palpitations returned to his face.
That intense Conqueror's Haki lasted for who knows how long. Perhaps only an instant, or perhaps it lasted a long time. Yang Yan only knew that he was stiff in place for a long time, until Yun Wujiu's voice sounded by his ear, did he wake up with a start.
"Consider yourself lucky. Since Your Excellency Mercenary Tao promised to provide protection for Reincarnators entering Paradise, we will leave our score to be settled in the next mission world."
Yun Wujiu didn't execute his ability again. He merely used ice to freeze his wounds, turned around, and walked into an empty shop, resting by himself.
At the same time, he began to use his phone to contact others.
"That guy escaped into [Paradise]. Yes, it's that city of Your Excellency... Mercenary Tao..."
"I know. I will wait for you to come over."
