Chapter 56: Leave Here

Chapter 56: Leave Here

On the Golden Arch Bridge, rain pours down like a waterfall, cleansing all chaos and filth. Katrina drags the heavy chain hammer with one hand and twists the black leather hat on her head with the other. She presses her long, beautifully muscled leg against the guardrail of the steel bridge. She opens the pocket watch held tightly in her right hand. The hands inside slowly rotate. The duration of this illusion at most is only a quarter of an hour. Now, ten minutes have passed. If Constance still hasn't finished, she really needs to consider disturbing the "underwater tryst" of those two. But in the next moment, Katrina's amber eyes narrow slightly because she notices that the churning river water turns into a black vortex at this moment. A constantly withering black dahlia blooms from the center of the vortex. Countless death lines spread from the stamen, weeping in the stillness of withering and decay. However, that mournful black dahlia is dragged into a certain space by an even more terrifying aura in an instant, without any room for struggle or retaliation. "What's going on?" Katrina's smile fades as she witnesses a towering black wave rising from the depths of the vortex. But before she can see clearly what's in the water, her brows suddenly tighten. With a burst of strength in her palm, blazing red flames ignite on the chain of the chain hammer and the brim of her hat. She swings the chain hammer forcefully backward. The metal hammer, ablaze with red flames, stirs up waves and extinguishes raindrops as it swings towards the person behind her.

Bang!

The heavy hammer and sword blade rub violently. Sporadic sparks dance in Bai Heng's eyes. With one sword, he blocks the chain hammer. The rain falls on the scalding hot sword blade, raising a hazy mist. But this time, Bai Heng doesn't move an inch. Has his strength increased so much in such a short time? Katrina's amber eyes tremble slightly. The hand that retracts the chain hammer trembles slightly, and the metal joints of her body also vibrate slightly due to the remaining force of the sword.

Just at this moment, Constance, with her long black hair slightly disheveled, one horn beside her beautiful and tragic face broken off 硬生生,and her spotless white dress completely soaked by the river water, lands rather disheveled beside Katrina. She holds the broken rhombus pendant on her chest with one hand and tidies her clothes with the other. The composure and banter on her cold face are no longer there. She stares warily at Bai Heng and warns, "This guy has hidden his strength deeply. The cassette has been taken by him. You can't deal with him."

When Katrina hears this, just as she is about to say something, her amber pupils suddenly contract. In almost just a few breaths' time, Bai Heng's figure suddenly enlarges in her eyes. The approaching sharp sword aura not only cuts through the rain but also seems to cut through space. No... it's not just seeming. It is indeed so. This is the space transfer ability of the Origin Cassette! When Katrina just figures this out, the surging sword intent crashes onto her like a fierce tide, knocking her mechanical body away and embedding it into a bridge pillar.

"Cough..."

If her body weren't completely made of machinery and her heart weren't ignited by flames, this blow would be completely enough to shatter all her internal organs. When she slowly slides down from the bridge pillar, biting her tongue and forcibly clenching the chain hammer while struggling to hold on, Constance also retreats to her side.

The rain is still pouring down, forming a rain curtain that resembles a hazy film. Bai Heng feels the scorching heat at his fingertips and the burning of his boiling blood. He stretches out his left hand, palm up, and makes a virtual grip forward, as if to crush something. He rests his long sword on the steel bridge, raises his eyes slightly, and says, "You two from the Annihilation Gang, leave now. No one will be hurt."

When Bai Heng utters these words, Constance looks at Katrina and holds her worn-out body with one hand and says, "Let's go."

In an instant, she takes Katrina and leaps backward. Her figure disappears into the void and vanishes in the rain curtain in the blink of an eye.

And after they retreat, the scorching heat at Bai Heng's fingertips dissipates. A mouthful of boiling blood spurts out from his chest. He kneels on one knee, instinctively relying on his sword body to stand. His vision gradually begins to blur. Bai Heng feels the boiling blood in his body and the sweet and fishy blood surging up in his throat. He slowly exhales a turbid breath, his voice slightly hoarse, and says, "Fortunately... I bluffed those two guys... The price of editing the body is a bit high..."

Bai Heng's voice grows softer and softer. The faint light in his eyes gradually closes. Finally, he slowly collapses in the rain curtain.
