I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 287: Chapter 256: Tragic (4400 words)

Guo Youliang knew the full weight of this blow. Against anomalies like Half of a Skin, if he hadn’t used a human body for defense, a single strike could have chopped it down.

Yet, before his eyes now, the Ancient Corpse Mo Da managed to nearly shatter the magnetic glow with a rust-covered sword.

“This sword?” @@novelbin@@

Guo Youliang revealed puzzlement and looked up, his gaze penetrating through the Old Pagoda Tree, vaguely sensing a heavy shadow above that seemed out of place.

However, at that moment, Mo Da, holding the sword in one hand, took several steps forward and raised the sword to chop down towards Guo Youliang’s head.

The sword was thick, suitable for both chopping and piercing, and appeared to be an ancient sword. It was unclear where Yan Long had acquired it from, but now that Mo Da wielded it, it seemed to match him well.

Before Guo Youliang could discern what exactly was on the Old Pagoda Tree, he was pressed into a retreat by Mo Da and immediately began engaging in a fierce battle with his magnetic knife.

From his Exorcist training, he grasped the combat skills with the magnetic knife and basic barehanded combat techniques well, having become quite adept at these fighting tactics.

Unlike the ancient people who needed to master various martial arts maneuvers, the Exorcist combat techniques contain only the simplest, most direct moves capable of killing anomalies with a single strike.

However, Mo Da was well-versed in the true arts of battlefield enemy-killing, each move forged in the midst of mountains of corpses and seas of blood — brutal and ruthless. Every blow, if not fully countered, could potentially injure or even kill Guo Youliang.

After receiving two blows, Guo Youliang sensed something amiss. The opponent’s strength was immensely powerful; with each contact, the magnetic knife trembled, and it might break if the battle went on like this.

He immediately retreated several steps, unleashed the magnetic glow, and used it to make contact with his opponent.

Thus, the tide began to turn. The invisible magnetic glow, despite still physically coming into contact with Mo Da’s ancient sword, could wound Mo Da’s body.

In less than a minute, Mo Da’s chest had been sliced open with seven or eight cuts.

Yan Long, witnessing this scene, felt a pang of distress. This Ancient Corpse was perfect and should not be damaged.

After a moment’s hesitation, he slowly slid down the coiled tree branches, for Guo Youliang’s attention was already elsewhere, allowing him to descend undetected.

Bending over, he circled the edge of the deep pit and approached the area of fierce battle gradually.

Although Mo Da appeared to be a normal human, his movements remained sluggish, which aligned with Yan Long’s conjectures that this being was merely perpetually nourished by Yin Energy, keeping its corpse unspoiled, but it didn’t mean it could immediately fly or become invulnerable to swords upon emergence.

After all, this was no fantasy movie.

Thump!

The magnetic glow of the magnetic knife pierced through the right side of Mo Da’s abdomen, flickering away instantly, yet Mo Da’s belly now had a gaping hole, bereft of blood or the kind of injuries living people experience.

For Mo Da, this wound had no effect on his movements.

But seeing this, Yan Long’s heart twisted once more, and he hastened toward Guo Youliang, who now had his side facing him.

Yan Long held a dagger in his hand and, with the swiftness of lightning, aimed a stab near the heart area on Guo Youliang’s left chest.

This stab, Yan Long had carefully considered, aiming right for the heart, would surely be a fatal blow.

Just as the dagger was about to strike, Guo Youliang sensed a premonition. His head buzzed, and his nerves tensed in an instant as if his thoughts were beyond his control.

A force of magnetic energy naturally rebounded from within his body, and during this, Guo Youliang intensified the strength of the magnetic rebound.

The invisible magnetic force caused the dagger about to strike him to pause in mid-air. Yan Long felt an overwhelming turmoil inside.

In reality, the nearby magnetic field was disrupted, affecting a person’s normal bodily functions, and giving Yan Long a nausea-inducing feeling of vertigo.

Mo Da, who was engaged in battle before Guo Youliang and equally affected by the disturbed magnetic field, turned his sword and thrust it towards Yan Long. The blade was unrelentingly sharp and fast approaching his neck.

Yan Long was startled. He didn’t possess the Exorcist-level ability of magnetic reinforcement. He hadn’t expected that it would not only affect himself but directly interfere with the behaviors of other anomalies.

Mo Da’s thrust came swiftly. Unable to dodge, Yan Long, in desperation, forced out his Semi-Spirit Body. A black silhouette emerged behind him, blue-faced with fangs, twin horns on its head, and sharp bone spurs growing out from its elbow joints. It extended a hand to snatch at the incoming sword tip.

A snap.

The ancient sword was repelled, and the Monster Spirit withdrew its hand, blocking the lethal strike for Yan Long.

Then Yan Long shook his shoulders, the Monster Spirit seemingly overlapped with him, forming a double image. He stretched his claws towards Guo Youliang, nearby, aiming for the crown of his head.

At the same moment, Mo Da, having recovered from the magnetic field disruption, shifted his target back to Guo Youliang, swinging the heavy sword at his right shoulder.

With enemies on both sides, Guo Youliang had to retreat, but his speed was astonishing. In that moment of retreating, he tossed out two High-Energy Collapse bombs.

Bang! Bang!

Plumes of white smoke rose up between Yan Long and Mo Da, and the close-range force, compounded, blasted them both to the ground, pushing them a couple of meters backwards.

Immediately afterward, Guo Youliang threw out three Chilling Hidden Buckle bombs, and masses of icy shards formed and quickly encased the fallen area in frost. Yan Long, including the Monster Spirit at his back, and apparently Mo Da as well, were all encased in a layer of ice.
