The flash of light was blinding for a moment, Seth even shielded his eyes to prevent them from being hurt by the radiance.
After a while, the light gradually faded.
When Seth looked at Bai Ye again, Bai Ye was clad in a set of purple-black ancient armor. The most striking feature was the two extremely long plumes on his helmet, which cascaded down to his waist.
Then, Bai Ye held a similarly purple-black Fangtian Huaji in his hand. It was visibly several times larger than an ordinary halberd, exuding an immense sense of pressure and a palpable killing intent.
At this moment, Bai Ye twisted his neck, adjusting to his new body.
With all his physical attributes except for intelligence tripling, Bai Ye's physical strength had surged dramatically.
And this was not even the most terrifying part.
This was a multiplicative increase, not a fixed amount. This meant that the true horror of the War God Lu Bu's possession ability lay in the fact that the stronger the user, the stronger the possession ability became.
A strength of 50 points tripled was not the same as a strength of 100 points tripled, was it?
Thinking this, Bai Ye even felt that obtaining this item from the gachapon machine now was somewhat a waste of a treasure!
Bai Ye grinned and said, "This truly lives up to the name of War God!"
As Bai Ye mused, he raised his halberd and swung it forward.
RUMBLE!
With that strike, the iron bars of the cell door shattered. They weren't cut, but blasted apart!
Under the immense force, the iron bars were reduced to a heap of debris.
Bai Ye put away the gachapon machine and said to Seth, "Let's go!"
The two stepped out of the cell, and immediately a piercing alarm blared. As they moved down the corridor towards the stairs ahead, they saw a group of reapers at the staircase entrance.
Bai Ye didn't hesitate, his speed undiminished as he charged forward to engage them head-on!
"I'm a War God now, am I afraid of these mere shrimps?"
"Fangtian Huaji Slash!"
Seeing the reapers charging up, Bai Ye directly swung his halberd in a sweeping motion!
As the blade swept forward, a purple-black crescent arc appeared, and a terrifying gust of wind instantly whipped up around them!
With a single strike, the reapers at the forefront were sent flying. In the blink of an eye, the group of reapers had fallen in a heap.
On the other side, after the strike, Bai Ye felt a strange sensation, as if a peculiar power had suddenly surged within him. Bai Ye soon understood...
Enchantment state!
This was also a terrifying effect.
Whether it was defensive equipment, items, magic, or abilities, anything related to defense was meaningless in the enchantment state, because in the enchantment state, all defenses could be ignored.
But...
Bai Ye glanced ahead and felt a little awkward...
Why had they all fallen?
Bai Ye wanted to test how terrifying the enchantment state was, but there was no opportunity for a second strike. It was just one swing, and all the reapers in front of him had been taken down.
Bai Ye sighed, "Being too strong is also not good. I wanted to have a bit of fun, but I accidentally knocked everyone down too quickly."
Seth rolled his eyes. "That was quite a show-off. I'll give you full marks for that."
The two quickly crossed over the groaning reapers and proceeded down the stairs.
Upon reaching the next floor, new reapers attacked, and then...
Bai Ye swung his halberd again!
The reapers had no resistance whatsoever. In fact, the Fangtian Huaji in Bai Ye's hand didn't even need to truly strike them.
A flash of purple-black halberd light appeared, and a terrifying gust of wind swept through. The Fangtian Huaji never touched the reapers, yet they were all sent flying as if struck by a heavy object, one after another.
"I told you I could get you out of here," Bai Ye said to Seth as they left the white tower and moved forward. "Does your mission to place the markers have any restrictions?"
Seth replied, "It must be within five hundred meters of the four gates of the Jingling Court. Placing a marker takes five minutes, but the markers possess ghost energy, and once placed, they will automatically hide themselves and cannot be destroyed."
Bai Ye said, "That's quite convenient. We have to fight our way out anyway, and we're heading towards the four gates. You can place the markers along the way."
"Mm!" Seth nodded, then added with a worried tone, "But with such a commotion, is it really alright?"
Bai Ye chuckled, "Don't worry, I haven't even started trying yet!"
Bai Ye continued to move forward as he spoke.
Reapers were converging from all directions.
Bai Ye didn't attack, he just kept moving forward. Once they had gathered, he swung his halberd forward in a sweeping motion.
"Fangtian Huaji Slash!"
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
As Bai Ye's halberd slashed out, the ground continuously exploded. Countless fragments of stone flew through the air, and dust billowed up.
Then...
As the ground shattered, the reapers who had just gathered were instantly blown away by a single strike.
In the blink of an eye, the reapers in front of Bai Ye and Seth were scattered and in disarray, groaning and rolling on the ground.
The two walked past the reapers and continued forward.
From the white tower prison to the location of the four gates was not very far, about two kilometers. Bai Ye knew the way as he had been escorted in before.
They continued forward, leaving the white tower and entering a long street.
At the end of the street, a dozen reapers suddenly appeared. At the same time, reapers began to leap up from behind the surrounding walls, standing on the walls and looking down at Bai Ye and Seth, encircling them.
And Bai Ye...
Still only swung his halberd once, with no change in his actions!
He swung the Fangtian Huaji towards the side, striking the adjacent wall. Immediately, large cracks appeared on the wall, spreading wildly in both directions.
A rumbling sound suddenly erupted. After the strike, that side of the wall was completely pulverized by Bai Ye. The reapers standing on the wall all tumbled down, crushed beneath the collapsed wall.
Bai Ye walked forward and sneered, "Pathetic!"
But at this moment...
From behind Bai Ye, the sound of running footsteps suddenly echoed, followed by a figure leaping from behind Bai Ye.
Bai Ye didn't even look, directly swinging his halberd backward.
CLANG!
A clear metallic sound rang out.
"Hmm?"
Bai Ye was slightly taken aback. The opponent hadn't been blown away?
Bai Ye turned to look. It was a bald man. Although he was sent flying backward after the strike, he managed to brace himself with his feet and slide on the ground, not falling. He had managed to barely block Bai Ye's halberd strike.
"A deputy captain level reaper?" Bai Ye slung the Fangtian Huaji over his shoulder, looking at the opponent and smiling, "Finally, someone a bit more capable has shown up."
