Chapter 778 - 389: My Name Is... Baiyi!

Chapter 778: Chapter 389: My Name Is... Baiyi!

During this time, Alex’s life was shadowed by an Avenger.

The little girl from back then had now become a mature woman.

For the Human Race, a century is a lifetime, but the Golden Level lasts five hundred years.

The girl persistently followed Alex’s footsteps, wielding not a sword, but a blade.

After every battle Alex fought, she would inevitably appear, grasping the remnants of sword intent, innovating, and growing upon them.

Finally, after a life-and-death crisis with a formidable foe.

Alex was heavily injured once again.

The scene was the same: a shattered city, pungent blood, and a beheaded King.

The only difference this time was the blazing sun overhead.

The disorderly fierce sun bathed the world in a faint red.

Thud... Thud...

Alex walked heavily, silently heading out.

But at this moment, the Avenger appeared before him.

Alex halted his steps.

The woman in front still dressed in beast skins, with black hair, black eyes, and holding a long blade in her right hand, her gaze full of hatred as strong as ever despite a century having passed.

Alex looked at her quietly for a long time, as he had countless times before, disregarded her, altered his steps slightly, and walked to the side.

Yet at the instant they were about to pass each other.

Clang~

Thud~

The woman flew backward, crashing through some broken buildings.

Clang~

The blade hummed in pursuit, but Alex’s sword stopped just ten centimeters from the woman’s neck, not descending further.

The blade even grazed the woman’s skin, drawing a trickle of scarlet.

A hair’s breadth more, and the woman would have perished.

Cough, cough~

Alex coughed up some blood, sheathed his sword and turned away, leaving the city with heavy steps.

Among the ruins, the woman clutched her broken blade tightly, her gaze filled with complicated hatred watching Alex’s retreating figure, but eventually the complexity faded and hatred filled her heart anew.

She was once a princess of the Human Race Kingdom, and the vengeance for her slaughtered royal city could never be washed away.

The legacy continued as Alex recovered from his injuries and resumed his growth.

Quickly advancing from Tier Seven Legendary to Tier Nine Legendary.

In this godless era, he stood at the pinnacle of strength.

Now the only thing left was how to break the shackles of life and step into the Forbidden Level, or even... the Divine Level.

In battle, slaughter followed Alex all his life.

And the woman full of hatred persistently shadowed Alex, surviving each assassination attempt after his inexplicable mercy.

But the outcome was....

The woman could fail countless times, but the original swordsman only had to fail once and he would die.

Clang~

The shattered body flew after being cut down.

After countless battles leaving him drained, Alex finally did not overpower the woman who had reached the Legendary Domain.

This woman was like Alex’s shadow, her swordsmanship almost identical, except for their differing sword intent.

Alex’s sword intent encompassed all, accepting all systems, while the woman’s sword intent had but one focus... hatred!

Thud, thud, thud, thud....

The woman rushed forward, never uttering a word, raising her long blade to thrust fiercely at Alex’s head.

Clang~

Alex tilted his head with effort, her blade sliding off the exoskeleton on his face, embedding deeply into the ground.

Breathing heavily, Alex looked at the face close to him.

This woman had pursued him for nearly seven hundred years, her youthful visage unchanged though her eyes had become as silent as his own.

"You...."

He broke the silence of battle with his first words, "What is your name? You... seem familiar."

The woman momentarily paused, frowned first, then her eyes returned to silence, "Is that why you don’t kill me?"

Clang~

Thud~

The woman showed no hesitation, her blade embedded in the ground sliced sideways.

The sound of metal clashing resounded, her blade piercing into Alex’s exoskeleton.

Blood gushed from the exoskeleton.

"I don’t know, I think... I should know your name, but I’m uncertain."

Alex spoke as though oblivious to the mortal peril, his weak tone filled with hesitation.

"Then take a guess..."

Clang~

The woman replied, drawing out the bone blade, once more thrusting unhesitatingly toward Alex’s head.

Within the enormous sword intent, hatred transformed into a sharp edge, making the long narrow blade exude a keen sharpness.

Swoosh~

Alex barely inclined his head, the long blade driven by extreme hatred pierced through the exoskeleton on his cheek, cutting into his face.

Such pain was no stranger to Alex; it was merely routine. His eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"Guess...."

He murmured, "Your name is...Diane? Diane Di Feng!"

"Such a familiar name, and very important. I don’t think I should forget it...."

The woman frowned and said coldly, "No, you don’t need to know. I just want you to die."

Clang~

The blade made a horizontal cut, the blade scraping harshly against his exoskeleton.

Alex ignored the pain and the life-and-death crisis, staring intently into the woman’s eyes.

His vision suddenly blurred, a blindness caused by one eye being cut open.

Scarlet blood accompanied the life-and-death crisis, along with the woman’s slight relief and melancholy as her great revenge was about to be fulfilled.

In the blur, this person seemed like an anchor, bringing a series of memories into clarity.

["Hello, new student, my name is Diane. What’s yours?"

"So aloof, huh? I heard your grades are really good? But don’t you find classes boring? I really want to go out and play..."

"Hey, new student, don’t ignore me, okay? Your clothes have so many holes. How about I take you shopping? You dressing like this affects my mood."

"What, you don’t believe it?"

"Hey, I thought you were mute, but your hearing is quite keen, huh? If you take my money, you have to talk to me, alright~ What’s your name?"

"Baiyi."

"Baiyi? What a strange name? Why not called Bai Yi? Or Bai Yi (different character)? Doesn’t that have a better meaning?"

"Baiyi..."]

"Baiyi...."

Dong~

Alex suddenly raised his hand to grab the blade, which sliced into his hand, blood gushing.

But the difference between a Tier Three Legendary and a Tier Ten Legendary was too vast; merely the body’s defense blocked the sharp blade’s cut.

Alex turned his head, his cheek being cut open caused his speech to be slightly airy.

"What is my name?"

The woman seemed to sense something was wrong.

Without hesitation, she let go of the blade, raising another long blade, gathering power, the sword intent appearing anew.

Without answering, she struck directly at Alex.

Alex raised his hand again.

Clang~

His exoskeleton couldn’t completely block this strike, his hand was easily severed.

The sword intent left a deep gash on his neck, blood wanton.

Alex instinctively looked at the severed limb, having a feeling that this severed limb should grow back quickly.

Even all his current injuries should be easily recoverable.

He should...stand here and be chopped by this woman for a day without harm....right....

Where exactly did it go wrong?

Alex thought, and the memory in his mind grew clearer.

When the memory in his mind and the memory here had a point of conflict, at its peak.

He suddenly murmured, "You...are not Diane.... She would never point a blade at me..."

The woman grabbed the blade still embedded in his head, yanking it hard.

Clang~

The blade resounded again, hatred breaking through limits, a deadly crisis approaching.

Alex stood staring blankly at the woman, muttering vaguely, "Yes, this face....and this purpose...do not match...."

Clang~

When the crisis of life and death arrived in a flash, the frenzied blade’s call burst explosively.

Dong~ Zing~

A long-haired head flew high.

Baiyi stood up, the massive memory conflict ongoing, at a certain moment.

In his memory, a golden ball faintly appearing.

Baiyi looked silently at the severed limb.

He remembered....

"My name is...Baiyi!"

Clang~

The sound of a blade exploded in his mind, the memory golden ball shattered.

The divine memory captured by the Extreme Evil Will in the battle with God was opened.

In an instant, Baiyi’s swordsmanship soared, a powerful will instantly took control of this body.

His eyes were full of silence, glancing at that head which looked exactly like Diane’s.

A ghastly smile appeared on the broken face.

Steps, thud...

The heavy footsteps moved forward.

He ignored the corpse that entangled him for over seven hundred years.

Continuing to walk towards the distance.

Blood gathered into blood Qi, faintly shaping a figure in his depth.

A soft murmur scattered in this world of memory.

"I did it, indeed, even a God’s inherited memory can be influenced...is this...intent?"
