Chapter 457: Evil God Ritual - Boathouse

"Huh."

A low, mature male laugh comes from behind Bai Liu.

The moment he heard the sound, Bai Liu's pupils flinched and he kicked the Xie Ta in front of him far away from him, then Bai Liu leaned across with one foot, raised his shoulders sideways, his muscles tensed, his wrist flipped and the spurs of his whip flared out, throwing the whip with all his strength towards the place where the sound came from.

The whip smashed into the ground, the bone spikes into the floor, but the tremendous force of the whip was not yet diminished, and it continued to smash through the boards, finally hitting the pond with a splash directly.

"Phew - bang bang bang - !"

The water splashes into the air, creating a curtain of water as it falls, through which you can see the brilliant fireworks bursting into the night sky at the moment.

Twisted and beautiful.

A pale, bony, black-gloved hand emerges from the curtain of water, a hand that catches Bai Liu's whip with all its might, and whose owner is now following it out.

The man at the end of the curtain, like an actor who has lifted the curtain, finally appears on stage, his face bloodied, his body covered with the gunshots Bai Liu has just fired, but without any of the panic and dodginess of his previous appearance, he walks calmly towards Bai Liu.

With a smile in his eyes, he looked across at Bai Liu, whose chest was rising and falling with his breathing, and said with admiration.

"Wow, what a quick response time."

"Almost killed by you then."

[System Alert: Player Bai six sacrifices the shrine offering (Tavel) and the suffering of (player Bai Liu) before exiting the game and makes a wish -]

[--- Invite the evil gods to come to earth and kill them.

Bai six tugged at the glove on his right wrist with his left hand, and on his back were huge fireworks in continuous bloom, casting a demonic splash of light against the light on the side of his face, making the smile on his face look even more dangerous.

"I forgot to tell you that although you got your identity as an evil god believer in the third game, the Bai six of the other world lines, however, did not hesitate to choose to believe in me as an evil god the moment they entered their first copy of the game, The Evil God Festival - Funhouse, on the first day they entered the shrine, the moment they learned of my existence oh."

Bai six smiled and hooked his index finger over the brown thread that hung in front of this body's heart.

Instead of a coin like Bai Liu's, a shiny reverse cross pendant hangs from a brown cord.

"And I can come to earth by landing in the game in the bodies of these believers."

"Just like what you did to Yuan Guang, isn't it?" Bai Liu calmly took Bai six's words as he stepped back without moving, "Another one of your special cheating tricks?"

Bai six shrugged and he smiled noncommittally, "I can take that as a compliment from you."

"What game do you want to play again?" Bai Liu asked, looking at him.

Bai six hooked the corners of his mouth, "The game has begun."

The door behind Bai Liu was slammed open and a group of blindfolded, armoured, shuriken-wearing Gifune warriors burst in.

They shouted and raised their swords and hissed, "- Kill!"

Looking out through the open door, the ground was strewn with the men of the Bei Yuan clan who had been slain by the warriors of the House of Mifune, lying broken and dead, the blood of these men staining the entire courtyard of the shrine red, with some pools of blood still left on the ground.

Bai six smiled at Bai Liu as he held his left hand out flat and opened his five fingers, transparent threads flew out from the inner layer of his glove, against his wrist, "Let me see how much you have grown recently, my heir."

[System Alert: Evil God Bai six uses skill (Puppet Silk)]

The sharp heads of these rapidly flying threads stuck like needles into the necks and joints of the limbs of the onrushing Gifune warriors, who covered their necks with a stifled grunt of pain.

Before they knew what was happening, the next moment Bai six turned his wrist down and slowly closed the five fingers of his left hand, his fingers picking at the puppet silk wrapped around his fingertips and shaking them outwards, and the warriors were being manipulated into action by Bai six.

The warriors raised their reflective shuriken high and slashed at Xie Ta, who had been lifted by Bai Liu's foot into a safe corner and was bound in place by heavy silk threads.

Bai Liu jerked back and lashed out with a whip, then swung right, knocking away the short knife the group had slashed at Xie Ta.

The silver glittering blade reflected the light of fireworks from all sides, and the walls of the room reflected this light like fish scales, which made people close their eyes.

Bai Liu looks sideways to avoid the light.

A long black bone whip was flung into the air, wrapped around the handle of a certain short blade and swept towards the right side of Bai Liu's neck, hidden in the light of these blades.

Bai Liu's eyes were cold as he raised his hand and turned his whip into a sword, holding it diagonally in front of his neck with his backhand.

The two swords clashed with an ear-splitting sound of metal on metal.

Bai Liu held the knife and pushed it outwards, backhanding the sweeping blade which flew away, and it bounced back along the same path as if it were a boomerang, opened casually by Bai Liu with a whip.

Bai six smiled and looked over at Bai Liu: "Just a reminder that I'm the one you have to be wary of."

"Those minions aren't worth all the attention you're going to give them."

The next second, Bai six's coat was raised and he disappeared like the wind.

Bai Liu side-steps and raises his hand and turns his blade almost as soon as Bai six disappears, making a blocking gesture to the air in front of him.

"Boom-!!!"

Bai six appeared out of nowhere in front of Bai Liu, holding the same short knife as Bai Liu, in the same backhanded position, also trying to squeeze his opponent from the top down, shaking Bai Liu backwards.

[System Alert: Player Bai six uses player Liu Huai's personal skill (Flashing Strike)]

Bai six laughed as he slowly used his elbow to push the knife inwards from Bai Liu's dominant hand, turning his pinned position on the bottom into a pinned position on top, while the blade of the knife in his hand slowly pressed against the large, pulsating blood vessels on the side of Bai Liu's neck.

He smiled, "Not bad, now you can predict my skill articulation, just not as skilfully as I can."

"Growing up so fast, really looking forward to the day you kill me."

The moment the knife was pressed against the side of Bai Liu's neck, without hesitation, Bai six withdrew his hand and gripped the knife, slashing it diagonally upwards against Bai Liu's rapidly pulsating neck veins!

--There was no sound of blood spurting as the veins were cut open, and Bai six's slash fell short.

Bai six's expression remained unchanged as he barely paused to grip the hilt of the shuriken in his hand, turned it around and reversed it across the back of his neck right in the middle.

"Pop-!!!"

The two short blades met again.

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu uses Player Muke's personal skill (Flashing Strike)]

Bai Liu appears in mid-air behind Bai six.

He drops slowly through the air, using the weight of his own body and his rear sneaking position to squeeze Bai six's wrist strength and bring his blade down on the back of Bai six's neck!

Bai six turns the horizontally placed hilt outwards quickly and the blade is pressed away from Bai Liu's downward-facing short blade.

Bai Liu didn't retreat at all, his gaze was fixed on the reverse cross pendant hanging on the back of Bai six's neck, the tip of his blade came across and angled, in a flash of light, the short blade transformed into a monkey's claw and struck towards the brown silk thread on the back of Bai six's neck, looking to steal the reverse cross pendant hanging on Bai six's neck!

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu uses Player Mu Sicheng's Personal Skill (Thief Monkey Claw)]

Bai Liu's intention was instantly detected by Bai six, who was now standing with his back to Bai Liu, and his reaction and strength could not be as fast as Bai Liu's. The difference in strength was so great that it was unlikely that Bai Liu could kill him from this position.

--but it couldn't be more convenient to steal.

Bai six hooks the corners of his mouth.

How clever, to pick up so quickly on what the key prop was in this game he was playing with him.

The short blade Bai six had affixed to the back of his neck flashed, no longer spreading out protectively, but closing up against his skin and rising up, cutting dryly through the strands of hair he used to tie his long locks.

The moment the hairline was cut, long black hair tilted like water down Bai six's shoulders, blocking the view of Bai Liu's theft behind him.

At the same time Bai six's gloved right index and middle fingers twisted and a sharp-edged playing card appeared in the gap between his two fingers.

The poker ran through the long hair at the back of Bai six's neck and spun towards the face of Bai Liu who was approaching the long hair.

Bai Liu regained his senses and leaned back to avoid the poker, while the monkey's paws continued to claw their way towards the back of Bai six's neck.

Bai Liu's claws, originally aimed at the back of his neck, only ended up on his shoulders.

The poker flew past Bai Liu's eyes and lodged in the board behind him.

The face of the card tied into the board is still shaking, and in the centre is a spinning red peach heart in which pictures of various people keep appearing.

The muscles of his shoulders were firm and familiar, and Bai Liu's breath caught as he was about to claw right through his shoulder blades, his dark eyes reflecting the Bai six who had turned to him.

[System Alert: The evil god Bai six uses the personal skill (Heart for Heart) of the player (Queen Hearts)]

The peach heart in the centre of the card keeps turning and the picture is finally framed as a picture of Xie Ta reading a book with the library of the orphanage in the background.

Bai six turned around, his long black hair turning into long silver-blue curls as it slid down his shoulders, he turned to face Bai Liu and looked down at the other man, his silver-blue eyes glinting with a gentle smile, "How unexpected that my heir should be so deeply in love with a creation that I have given up."

Bai six is completely transformed into Xie Ta.
