Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword - Chapter 234

“Don’t fuċk with me!” Shouted Hei Qi furiously clenching his sword “So what if you fused Life and Death? You only just comprehend them and you are gravely injured.” Hei Qi opened his eyes fully, shining with a black glint. He slashed all over the place, the surrounding swords crumbling away as he shot black sword qi blade towards Bai.

However, Bai didn’t need to avoid them, he walked forward Hei Qi. Just as the blades approached him, they twisted in themselves, their trajectory becoming erratic and changing, failing to hit Bai. The blades dispersed all away, one of them even returning to hit Hei Qi who simply swung his sword again dissipating it.

“I fought all this time, I won’t lose against you. Death won’t take me!” Hei Qi shouted panicked.

Black aura shot from Hei Qi’s sword, it was accumulating all around it forming what it seemed to be an ominous skull.

“Die!<Sword: Death>!” Hei Qi swung his sword, the sword falling over Bai leaving a black trail. It was a silent sword, it killed everything in its path, not even light or sound could exist there. This was the peak of the sword intent Death, not even Bai had reached this state.

Seeing the silent skull that approaching resembling an unavoidable dead, Bai remained calm. A thin gray aura glowed over his sword. It seemed strong and weak, fast and slow, big and small… It was impossible to sense by normal ways, an everchanging aura in which common sense couldn’t be applied.

A light swing. This was the only act of Bai. His sword slashed over the skull lightly, seemingly with no strength at all. There was no clash, Bai’s sword passed through the skull as if it cut over the air.

Before being able to move forward, the skull started twisting, exploding and scattering its death aura all over. The strangest was that it wasn’t uniformly, the aura twisted over all the place.

One little drop of the aura fell over Bai’s left shoulder, tainting black it. Bai could sense how this part had died, his left arm hanging down motionless. Not only this part, but it also seemed that the Death Aura was even trying to expand all over his body, clinging it and never let him go.

Bai clenched his sword with his right hand, swinging it, causing a small cut over the black area. Bai’s skin convulsed, lumps started growing all over the cut as Bai’s cells were affected, duplicating and dying in an insane manner, exploding leaving blood behind. Bai forced his chaotic aura to stop, only letting a gravely injured shoulder. Bai was unable to move his arm, but at least the black aura disappeared.

“Hahahaha!” Hei Qi laughed “It was this! You can even alter reality and causality. However, your power is too strong, you are not able to control it. The results being completely aleatory even for you.”

Hei Qi was right. Chaos was too strong and unpredictable, it was too unstable. Bai was able to decide the time to use it, but not how it would react. Creating an aura around him, it made improbable that attack would pass through, but there was the possibility, even a failing attack could hit. It was like making every attack a strawn arrow, but even strawn arrows could hit.

Bai didn’t know if in the future could it be controlled somehow, but just having comprehended Chaos, it was impossible for now. Moreover, he had been greatly injured previously, his body bȧrėly hanging, his energy almost exhausted. The little attack that he was capable to do would be useless against Hei Qi, his only possibility was using Chaos.

“Die!” A gaseous black aura shot from Hei Qi’s body, it extended all over the Steel Dump, tainting it in black color. Inside the smoke, darker lines appeared all around, seemingly to interlace everything inside, from swords to even the ground and air. In some places, the lines were connected forming nodes and over Bai, they twisted erratically.

“Die!” “Die!” “Die!” “Die!” Hei Qi started madly slashing the lines, his surroundings were crumbling. The Death energy over the place was increasing and with it the aura over his sword was reaching a new level.

“Hahahaha!” Hei Qi seemed completely mad, with his eyes twitching. Denying Death was like denying himself, he won’t accept it. In his head the only thing that matter was killing Bai.

Hei Qi lifted his sword, a giant black pillar shot from it, it was 30 meters wide and it even reached the Steel Dump’s ceiling.

“<Death: Cutting Lines>!” Hei Qi swung his sword towards Bai, the black pillar falling. The pillar seemed to be formed by countless black threads that slashed all around with a thick Death aura.

Bai put all his weight over his feet and dashed forward with the maximum speed that he could use. Hei Qi’s attack was chaotic, enclosing all the aura randomly targetting him. What an irony to be such a chaotic attack the counter of his Chaos.

“<Chaos Intent: Armor>!” Without stopping, gray aura started covering all over the body.

“Boom!” Hei’s Qi’s attack fell over Bai, all the surrounding perishing with it. Death was all around clashing with Bai’s Chaos, unable to slice over it while Bai continued going forward. It was like a little gray meteor was cutting over the infinite black space.

Bai couldn’t see or sense anything, his surroundings too chaotic for that. It was like finding himself floating around, no sight, smell, touch… nothing could be sensed. He clenched his sword and went forward, his only guide his own instinct and sword that pushed him forward.

“Die!” Hei Qi shouted the Death Aura continuously slashed over Bai. Bai wasn’t affected by it thanks to his Chaos, however, he was affected by this Chaos itself. It was Bai’s bet, betting his body to last enough to reach Bai, his possibilities completely depending on his luck. His own skin started twisting, inflating and corroding, veins popped over as blood didn’t stop surging from his orifices.

“Splash!” Bai’s right leg affected by Chaos exploded, leaving a useless lump of meat. Bai almost fell over, but with his last strength, Bai kicked the ground with his left leg, throwing his body forward, guided by his intent.

Seeing Bai continuing forward, Hei Qi’s body started trembling before Bai’s aura. Hei Qi jumped back avoiding Bai’s sword bȧrėly some centimeters. However, in the last moment, Bai let go his sword opening his hand. He bent his wrist, hitting with his palm open the hilt of his sword, pushing it forward before falling to the ground.

Seeing the thrown sword reaching him, Hei Qi’s face twisted in fright. He unconsciously positioned his sword over him trying to block it. It was useless. Bai’s sword pierced forward, obliterating Hei Qi’s sword who was unable to resist its Chaos.

Bai’s sword continued forward piercing Hei Qi’s ċhėst, it was a shallow cut, made with very little strength, but, its Chaos aura invaded Hei Qi. Even Bai as the owner and controlling it only affecting him the minimum, the Chaos Intent had almost killed him. How could Hei Qi resist it?

“Boom” Hei Qi’s body twisted, his upper body exploding in lumps of meat and blood, leaving a bloody and messy corpse.

Bai didn’t know the outcome of the fight as he couldn’t sense anything, his movements completely relying on instinct. For him, he could have even died and not know about it. His Chaos Intent reached his limit and disappearing, continuing would cause Bai’s own death.

Expanding his sense over the place, Bai smiled. The risky bet had paid off. In front of him, he could sense a big lump of meat that it was difficult to think of it as a corpse. Over it, a red spirit ring over 100.000 years old stood floating, emitting his energy.

He was gravely injured, very close to death, but he had won. His body was bȧrėly hanging, it would be difficult to even stand up. He stood there panting loudly, exhausted “I will need to bother Lili to heal me. She would be angry at me” Bai joked to himself.

“You!!!!!!!!!” Black aura shot from what was before Hei Qi. The aura gathered together forming a gaseous black specter, purely made by Death black aura except for his eyes that were Hei Qi’s golden black eyes. The eyes showed fury as they look towards Bai “Death shall fall under you!”
