My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 153 - 152: Node Appears

County, North Gate.

"Ah!!!"

"Help!"

"The supernatural creatures have invaded the county! Where are the Incense Masters?!"

The cries and screams of the common people were unending, occasionally interspersed with roars of anger.

Animals with some human traits rushed out from the night, unleashing a massacre on these unarmed civilians.

Foxes, weasels, snakes...

Originally the Family Guardian Immortals, they had all turned into ferocious supernatural creatures.

There were a great number of them, easily creating numerous maimed bodies, turning the city gate into a scene of bloodshed.

This scene was not happening at just one city gate alone.

All four city gates faced the same slaughter.

Shi Xiangtou had just arrived at the east of the city and saw the devastation at the city gate, pounding his chest in anxiety, spurting several blood arrows.

He managed to save a few civilians who were almost killed by fox claws.

"Bastards!"

As he ran, he lit incense and began to perform a ritual.

If I can’t beat the Altar Immortals, can I not deal with you Household Immortals?

...

To the east of the county was a towering peak with strange rocks.

Standing on the mountain top allowed one to take in the whole view of the county.

The cries of the people couldn’t reach this far, and a silence pervaded the mountaintop.

A white-haired young man, hair reaching his waist, was sitting cross-legged on a giant rock at the top, observing the situation in the county.

"It seems both Huang Yuan and Miss Hu Jiu are having problems."

The beautiful woman standing behind the white-haired young man softly asked, "Should we go take a look?"

The white-haired young man gave an almost imperceptible nod, "Yes, we should take a look."

Beautiful Woman: "Then I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the white-haired young man: "You go, and be careful."

"Second Brother, do those reincarnated demons really require your constant watch?"

The beautiful woman’s brows held a trace of worry.

"I still feel that these reincarnated demons will cause variables in our plan."

The white-haired young man shook his head, then waved his sleeve, a sandalwood box the size of a pencil case appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The box was covered with dense patterns, filled with mystic aura.

He handed the wooden box to the beautiful woman in front of him.

"Take this with you."

"What is this?"

The beautiful woman took the wooden box and casually opened the lid.

Seeing what was inside, her expression changed: "How did this get in your hands?"

...

At the moment the box lid was opened the minds of all the Death Fighters heard an identical mechanical prompt sound.

[Ding!]

[The current Death Arena Node has appeared.]

[Death Fighter who acquires the Node will receive double points reward]

[Node has been located in real-time. (Click to view)]

Lv Bai squinted his eyes slightly, shifting his attention inconspicuously to the system panel on his retina.

Miss Hu Jiu was unaware of Lv Bai’s distraction, and continued explaining: "I’m not lying to you, my second brother is not a kind-hearted person.

If you insist on using me as leverage, you’ll only push him to wipe out all the reincarnated demons in a fit of anger, and you wouldn’t want that, right?"

As Lv Bai confirmed the Node’s location, he casually responded, "That’s right, I don’t want them to die at the hands of supernatural creatures."

"Alright, let me think of a way for you."

Miss Hu Jiu appeared exceedingly sincere, saying earnestly: "Since you want to save them, rather than risking a hostage trade with my second brother, why not just let me go back.

I’ll find a chance to secretly help you get the reincarnated demons out, you can completely trust Hu Jiu."

Regrettably, Lv Bai’s gaze never landed on Miss Hu Jiu, making the white-dressed fairy’s performance akin to throwing winks at a blind man.

Master Bai the Fourteenth seemed quite worried that Lv Bai, this young one, would be fooled, and hurriedly raised his voice: "Xiaobai, you mustn’t trust her, this Hu Jiu is notorious for lying within the Four Great Sects."

Lv Bai nodded noncommittally.

He exited the system panel, stepped forward to Miss Hu Jiu: "Let’s put the reincarnated demon issue on hold, first tell me, how many Immortals are there around the county?"

"Why? Don’t you trust me?" Miss Hu Jiu was puzzled as to why Lv Bai suddenly asked this question.

Woosh~

A white spike flashed by, instantly taking one of Miss Hu Jiu’s arms.

"I’m not in the mood for small talk now." Lv Bai had a smile on his face, yet there wasn’t a trace of warmth in his eyes.

Miss Hu Jiu bit back her scream of pain, urgently said: "Second Brother, Sixth Brother, and Third Sister, the rest are just Altar Immortals and Household Immortals."

Lv Bai’s right hand once again gathered a slender white spike.

"Tell me more about those three."

However, before Miss Hu Jiu could speak, the corner of her eye caught a flash of lightning in the sky, followed by the deafening thunder.

Turning her head to look, under the brief illumination of the lightning, she vaguely noticed the elongated shadow in the sky.

The shadow roamed freely in the air, like the Dragon King manipulating clouds and rain, bringing the thunderbolt.

"Chang Shengtian?"

"Chang San Zhenren?"

Master Bai the Fourteenth and Miss Hu Jiu spoke simultaneously, though their terms differed, both referred to the same entity. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

As it’s another source of his mana, Lv Bai certainly recognized the rapidly approaching giant black python; he just wasn’t sure of its intent.

Finding a rare moment of respite, Xiao Xueyin approached Lv Bai to quietly offer thanks.

This made Fan Ding feel awkward, pretending as if nothing happened, he looked around.

Lv Bai turned back, smiled at Fan Ding, casually threw a spike to send him off.

[Ding!]

[Points +1, current score: 3, current rank 8/435]

Witnessing this scene, Wang was completely bewildered.

Acting without a word of thanks, so intent on killing, is it?

Fan Ding’s body still warm, Wang dared not approach as familiarly as Xiao Xueyin did.

He could only awkwardly bow towards Lv Bai with a smile that was more pained than crying: "Thanks, Mr. Smiley."

Miss Hu Jiu pondered over their relations, too scared to speak, fearing that Lv Bai might stab her again without a word.

"Hmm?"

With such a noticeable fluctuation of mana, Master Bai the Fourteenth naturally noticed too.

Watching the now breathless Fan Ding, it instinctively asked: "Xiaobai, what are you..."

"What is it?"

"Weren’t you going to rescue these people? And you know each other?"

Master Bai the Fourteenth looked utterly confused.

"Free them then kill them."

Lv Bai provided an honest answer, not hiding his intentions.

Hearing this, Master Bai the Fourteenth’s chubby face twitched twice: "Um, aren’t you being too extreme?"

It lowered its voice, muttering as if talking to itself: "Could it be that serving as Chang Shengtian’s Incense Master affects one’s disposition?"

Bang~

Chang Shengtian landed with a great thud, transforming into human form, its expression somber: "Bai the Fourteenth, what nonsense are you spewing!"
