Baiyu stared intently at the Sanctuary Spirit floating in midair.
As a book, it was strange to the extreme.
The words written on it seemed to have some special effect, able to influence reality to a certain extent.
Is this the power of the Sanctuary Spirit?
He had always thought the Sanctuary Spirit was a humanoid lifeform like Yao Ji.
But now it was clearly wrong.
The Sanctuary Spirit not only had humanoid forms like Yao Ji, but also bizarre types like this book.
The stranger the shape.
The more freakish the ability.
Baiyu cautiously watched the book that kept flipping pages.
Just now, the Sanctuary Spirit seemed to be on the opposing side against Guang Yuanba, but now, clearly the words emerging on the book were unfavorable to him.
The cause of the change.
Was that black Feather Pen.
After the Feather Pen exploded, it turned into black gas and surged entirely into the book.
Then the situation rapidly deteriorated.
Clearly now.
The Sanctuary Spirit was battling with that black gas, locked in a stalemate.
No one knew how Guang Yuanba got hold of the Feather Pen, which had such a big effect.
When the enemy is strong, it's wise to avoid them for now.
Time was on his side.
As long as he held out until people from the Anomaly Bureau and Armed Department arrived.
Guang Yuanba would have no way out.
But by that time, it would be hard for Baiyu to kill him.
The Anomaly Bureau and Armed Department would definitely take him back for interrogation.
There were downsides and benefits.
Baiyu did not hesitate any longer.
Seeing Guang Yuanba's muscles and fascia bulging, his eyes bloodshot, he understood that this person was exchanging his life for power.
He quickly turned around, the Forbidden Armament covering his skin.
In almost an instant, he had already jumped out of the core control area.
But clearly, Guang Yuanba wouldn't give up.
The City Lord, exuding murderous intent all over, rushed out, swinging a long sweeping whip toward Baiyu.
The fierce wind swept through the passage.
Like an Air Cannon compressed to the extreme, it grazed the surface of the metal wall, blasting toward Baiyu in the passage.
Because of the Sanctuary Spirit.
Guang Yuanba's power had at least increased by two levels, otherwise, he wouldn't have turned into such a state.
Even the Forbidden Armament couldn't close the gap.
It was imaginable.
How freakish the power of the Sanctuary Spirit truly was.
But at this time.
Baiyu escaped into a side transfer passage.
Unaware that in the core control area, the Sanctuary Spirit kept flipping pages, expelling waves of black gas.
Seemingly regaining the upper hand.
The words floating above the book also began to change, popping out one by one, glittering with light.
...
In the metallic passage.
Baiyu took a direct hit once again.
It made his chest feel hot with pain.
Fortunately, there was the Forbidden Armament, otherwise, he didn't know if he could withstand it.
"This is a dead end, Baiyu, you can't escape."
Da, da.
Footsteps echoed in the passage.
Guang Yuanba's body, almost twice its size, stood like a humanoid Demon Ape at the entrance, blocking most of the light.
The walls of the core area were all made of A Level alloy.
It was extremely difficult to break through with sheer force.
Baiyu was able to break through an entire wall at first because of the Forbidden Armament combined with his full power.
Now, it was impossible to break through.
But just as Guang Yuanba was about to end the battle completely, he suddenly felt a change within his body.
The endless power vanished like a receding tide.
Waves of weakness surged through his limbs, and his full head of black hair instantly turned white.
Baiyu's eyes lit up.
At this moment, Guang Yuanba.
Was like a blazing torch suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water, extinguished in an instant.
This opportunity was exceptionally rare.
Baiyu swallowed two Blood Qi Pills, swiftly drawing out Shark Bite, and aimed a shot at Guang Yuanba's head.
Two Explosive Bullets were fired from the gun barrel, bursting into a shower of sparks upon impact.
Then.
Two Freezing Bullets pierced through, bringing a large patch of frost with them.
After Shark Bite's upgrade.
The revolver with only a six-round capacity now served more of an auxiliary role than an offensive one.
Seizing Guang Yuanba's extreme weakness, Baiyu twitched the Great Guan Blade, slicing at him with a whistling wind.
Ka-cha!
With one stroke, blood splattered.
Guang Yuanba's arm was severed completely, his entire body flying away like a ragdoll.
Baiyu did not know why the once imposing Guang Yuanba suddenly weakened so.
But seizing the opportunity at someone's weakness is an eternal truth.
Baiyu landed the hit, hot blood surged within him, and he drew the long blade once more.
The Blood Qi-infused blade slashed toward Guang Yuanba's neck.
"Stop, I'm the City Lord of Mountain City, who dares to kill me..."
The words were not yet finished.
The blade had arrived.
The Living Iron long blade, infused with Blood Qi, could slice through metal and rock.
Slicing through Guang Yuanba's flesh was even more effortless.
The long blade smoothly cut into his neck, severing his skin, flesh, and major artery, taking off his massive head.
Thunk.
The body fell heavily to the ground.
Baiyu exhaled heavily, flicking off the blood from the blade's tip, and glanced at the corpse on the ground. He didn't bother with it further and walked to the control center.
The Sanctuary Spirit had not returned to normal.
The book-like Sanctuary Spirit was stranger than anything Baiyu had ever seen.
Truly just like
At this moment.
The book continued to tumble in the air, flipping pages, with flames still burning on them.
Baiyu frowned and looked at the glass pillar where the Sanctuary Spirit originally was.
The liquid inside had all drained out.
Putting it back as it was seemed almost impossible, and besides, he didn't even know how to handle this thing.
However.
Before Baiyu took any action, lines of text began to appear on the book.
"Over there, beneath the control console, get that thing out for me."
Baiyu frowned, walked over, and opened the cover beneath the console.
Inside was a square box.
It had a strong metallic feel, cold to the touch like an ice block, sharp as a blade.
In the middle of the box.
There was a perfectly square indentation.
As soon as Baiyu took it out, the Sanctuary Spirit swiftly descended, fitting perfectly into the box.
The edges of the box and the book's cover matched completely.
As if crafted specifically as its resting place.
Once it lay inside, it made a comfortable cooing sound, and then, like farting, expelled a long strand of black gas from the book.
The instant the black gas was expelled, it twisted and coiled in the air, forming a ghostly face that stared intently at Baiyu.
But soon.
The ghostly face was dispelled by the light emerging from the book.
"Young man, well done!
Although without my help, you surely wouldn't have won, but now I have high hopes for you!"
After lying in the box.
The Sanctuary Spirit seemed to regain full vitality, displaying this sentence on the book's cover.
It was astonishing to communicate with a person this way.
Baiyu felt as if he had discovered a new world, he asked: "You can understand what I'm saying, right?"
Light flickered on the book's cover: "Yes, but now isn't a good time to talk, the people from the Anomaly Bureau and Armed Department are about to arrive, you should take care of things here first."
A long sentence was revealed.
Baiyu paused for a moment.
If before today, someone had told him he could converse with a book, Baiyu might have slammed his head in disbelief.
