Instantly, the once lively battlefield fell silent. All eyes were drawn to the sudden turn of events.
The angels were curious. Having just unleashed such a terrifying energy pulse, how could he be dead already?
The demons were even more curious. Hadn't this guy just fought their Queen? It was a battle that shook heaven and earth back then, and now he was gone. Could he be a fragile mage?
Since they were all standing now anyway, the curious Kaisha walked forward to examine Bai Qi's corpse.
Just as she crouched down to observe him closely, the headless corpse lying on the ground suddenly sat up. The dragon head beside him stared with dead fish eyes, murmuring, "I died a tragic death. Return my life, return my life."
Seeing Bai Qi's state, Kaisha chuckled lightly.
Such a trick meant the opponent was definitely not dead. He must have used some kind of method. Frankly, it was quite amusing.
Kaisha didn't rush to attack. She stood there, watching Bai Qi fumble on the ground with both hands. After a long search, he finally found his head. He cupped it with both hands and poked at it for a while before finally pressing it back on.
Once Bai Qi had reattached his head, Kaisha smiled and asked, "Shall we continue?"
With that, she raised her jade hand, and a pair of enormous silver wings appeared on either side of Bai Qi, sandwiching him. The sharp blades exuded a chilling aura.
Bai Qi wasn't in a hurry either. He patted the dust off his body and stood up, shaking his freshly reattached head as he said, "Since it's a challenge for the pinnacle, there must be a suitable venue."
With a snap of his fingers, a magical barrier expanded, enveloping Bai Qi and Kaisha. Anyone else, be it demon or angel, even Morgana, was driven outside the barrier. Then, a massive magic array appeared on the ground beneath their feet.
These crimson incantations seemed alive. The moment they appeared, they quickly crawled onto Bai Qi and Kaisha's bodies, covering them like maggots clinging to bone.
"What... is this?"
Even Kaisha had never encountered such a situation before.
Bai Qi said nothing more. He lightly drew a cut on his arm with his fingernail. Immediately, Kaisha felt a pain in her arm. She looked down and saw a wound in the same spot on her arm as Bai Qi's.
"Interesting."
Kaisha waved her hand, and the silver wings slashed across Bai Qi's body with incredible speed. It took two seconds for Bai Qi's body to react.
*Pfft!*
A wound more than a meter long, from lower left to upper right, was opened across Bai Qi's chest. Blood gushed out as if it were free.
Concurrently, a similar wound appeared on Kaisha's chest. However, due to their size difference, Kaisha's wound was a significantly smaller version, and the amount of blood was far less terrifying than Bai Qi's.
"Is that so? If you get injured, I will suffer the same damage. It's somewhat interesting, but can your body keep up with my body's recovery speed?"
As she spoke, the wound on Kaisha's chest had already completely healed with a flash of light.
"How will we know if we don't try?"
Just as Bai Qi finished speaking, the wound on his chest also healed at an extremely rapid pace.
Bai Qi was now in combat mode. He unleashed a barrage of attacks on his own body, smashing his left leg with a punch, and then piercing his chest with a claw.
The agonizing pain made Bai Qi grit his teeth, and simultaneously, Kaisha's chest was pierced, and her left leg fractured.
It wasn't that Bai Qi preferred this kind of battle where a thousand enemies were killed at the cost of a thousand of his own casualties.
The two attacks just now had already revealed Kaisha's formidable resistance to external damage. Only by trading blows in this manner could Kaisha be inflicted with any damage at all.
Although Bai Qi knew that this level of damage would be repaired by Kaisha in one or two seconds, and other than causing her some pain, it was useless.
Looking at her injured body, Kaisha swung her silver wings and slashed again, cutting Bai Qi in half at the waist.
Just as Bai Qi was bisected, Kaisha's body was also bizarrely cut in half. However, in the blink of an eye, the wounds on both their bodies were healed perfectly.
Kaisha was intelligent enough to see that Bai Qi was stalling for time. Thus, she stopped actively attacking Bai Qi and flapped her wings, intending to leave the barrier.
Watching Kaisha fly towards the edge of the barrier, Bai Qi made no move to stop her, simply observing her receding figure.
But when Kaisha reached the barrier's edge, she discovered she couldn't leave. Instinctively, she punched the barrier twice. It only caused a few ripples, achieving nothing. Even her silver wings couldn't break through.
"It's useless," Bai Qi said faintly, watching Kaisha's back. "As long as I'm alive, you can't break the barrier. Unless you kill me."
Kaisha analyzed the barrier with her engines, trying to find a way to break it. The results were the same as what Bai Qi said: either kill Bai Qi, and the barrier would naturally disappear, or Bai Qi would voluntarily withdraw the barrier, which was also an option.
Kaisha turned to face Bai Qi and said, "It's probably impossible to make you withdraw the barrier voluntarily."
"Correct."
"Then let's fight."
With that, her silver wings transformed into numerous silver blades that stabbed towards Bai Qi, spinning rapidly around him to form a massive blade storm, continuously shredding his flesh.
As Bai Qi's flesh was cut, Kaisha also sustained identical wounds. And as the blade storm's speed increased, the number of wounds on Kaisha's body multiplied.
However, neither of them paid any mind to their own injuries. Bai Qi even sat down on the ground, letting the silver blades cut his body.
It wasn't that Bai Qi was slacking off, but that he had nothing else to do but endure.
Other than this method of trading injuries, Bai Qi's other offensive means couldn't penetrate Kaisha's defense. It was better to conserve energy and focus on healing his wounds than to waste them on attacks.
Even with the power of the Horse and Dog Talismans, that was only in his original world, supported by the Mother of Dark Energy and the influence of world rules.
Now that Bai Qi had arrived in the Super Gene world, his connection with the Mother of Dark Energy had weakened, and he could no longer use her power wantonly. In other words, he had lost his home-field advantage.
Therefore, Bai Qi was currently depleting his reserves of Dark Energy. Although Bai Qi, as an original demon, could generate Dark Energy himself, and as his strength recovered and improved, he had far surpassed his other six brothers and sisters, the current situation was that the Dark Energy produced by Bai Qi's Dark Chess could not keep up with the Dark Energy consumed by healing his injuries.
If this continued, Bai Qi might truly perish here.
