Chapter 151 You Can Only Make One Mistake
The famous general and killer Bai Qi committed suicide at Duyou Pavilion under the death order of King Zhaoxiang of Qin.
Because he committed so many murderous deeds during his lifetime, even after his death his soul was filled with hostility and murderous intent, and even the ghosts in the underworld did not dare to approach him.
The underworld even said bluntly that they dared not accept this soul, so they directly imprisoned its soul in the burial place.
So Bai Qi was imprisoned for thousands of years.
During this thousand years, he witnessed the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the fall of the Second Emperor, and the change of dynasties. The Special Management Bureau at that time... should have been called the Demon-Subduing Bureau.
The staff of the Demon-Subduing Department also visited him several times, thinking that if the resentment in Bai Qi's soul was eliminated, they would let him reincarnate.
But unfortunately, generation after generation of special envoys from the Demon-Subduing Bureau were unable to help Bai Qi to be reborn. The sins of killing he committed during his lifetime had not faded with the passage of time.
Instead, the situation became more and more serious. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died at his hands surrounded Bai Qi's soul day and night. Even before his death, they had reflected on killing the surrendered soldiers, repented, and even refused King Zhaoxiang of Qin's order to go to war.
But these ghosts were not going to let him go.
In this way, the soul of a generation of killing god became the ghost king surrounded by tens of thousands of wronged souls.
Until that day.
Three hundred years had passed when he saw the people from the Demon-Subduing Department coming to find him again.
The man stared at Bai Qi with a deep gaze and slowly said, "Bai Qi, the Demon Subduing Bureau no longer exists in this world. We currently serve the Special Management Bureau, which is directly under the state."
He paused and continued, "In recent days, the land of China has experienced countless wars and turmoil. Now that the war is over, everything is gradually recovering."
Bai Qi was silent for a moment. He originally thought that this man would be like the previous visitor from the Demon-Subduing Division, who would persuade him to let go of the past killings and seek inner peace.
However, the man did something he didn't expect.
The man took out a long sword from his waist and handed it to Bai Qi steadily.
His eyes were firm and resolute. "Bai Qi, you've killed so many people, and you still expect forgiveness and understanding? Nothing in this world comes easy. Since you've killed them, you must bear all the sins. You are both a God of Killing and a God of War. Even in death, you will never find peace."
Bai Qi looked at the sword. It looked like a weapon he had used before, but it was a little different.
What the man said was very simple. Since there is no way to wash away the sins, then just carry these sins with you until the day when your soul is torn apart, and then everything will be cleared.
"So, you have to work for me now."
There was a hint of arrogance and confidence in his words, which left no room for doubt.
"I've just been appointed Director of the Beiyuan City Special Management Bureau, and many of my subordinates are dissatisfied. With a killer like you here, I don't see who will refuse to obey."
This man looks very young, only in his twenties, but his courage and decisiveness are amazing.
He looked at the sword in his hand, feeling its heaviness and coldness.
Bai Qi knew that the man was right.
The people he had killed and the sins he had committed were not something he could let go of easily. He had to bear all of this until the very end.
So Bai Qi joined the Beiyuan City Special Management Bureau.
This man silenced those in Beiyuan City who opposed awakening the ancient war spirits with his extremely domineering attitude and thunderous methods.
He also used some ancient artifact to reshape his body, but the man was able to keep the hundreds of thousands of wronged souls in Bai Qi's sword. He wanted to let Bai Qi know that he was a sinner, and since he was a sinner, he must wear shackles.
So this long sword is Bai Qi's weapon.
It is also his cage.
At this moment, looking at the young man in front of him who had turned into a devil, for some reason, Bai Qi thought of the man in the past.
The former director of the Beiyuan City Special Management Bureau...
"Have you had enough of staring blankly?"
Bal's voice and the thundering sword had suddenly appeared in front of Bai Qi.
Bai Qi raised his sword to block, and the moment the sword made contact, he realized the weight of the blow, so he tilted the sword to let the sword energy slide down and used a clever force to deflect the fierce attack.
Then Bai Qi turned around and kicked with such force that even Bal had to dodge sideways.
In the fierce close combat between the two, every move and every style was full of collision of strength and skill. They seemed to be evenly matched.
Although Baal's power in his prime may far exceed Bai Qi's, Bai Qi's combat experience, especially his skills in close combat and fighting for his life, is incomparable to Baal, a demon god who can shake mountains and rivers with a wave of his hand.
This accumulation of experience comes not only from his skillful grasp of weapons, but also from his courage and wisdom gained from countless battles.
"It seems you are not good at hand-to-hand combat."
Bai Qi seemed to see through Bal's weakness, sneered, and then suddenly stabbed out with his sword like lightning.
Bal narrowly avoided Bai Qi's fierce attack.
However, although he successfully avoided the fatal attack, the murderous aura carried by the sword left a deep mark on his mask, as if expressing contempt and disdain for the demon god.
He was very clear about his current situation. From the moment he chose to suppress Bai Qi with the powerful force of thunder at close range, he no longer had any advantage.
"Fighting with his life... He truly deserves to be called a god of war..."
After showing a sly smile, Bal did not retreat but advanced, and the attack of the Tang sword in his hand was even more ferocious than before.
Although Bai Qi used his superb fighting skills to leave scars on Baal again and again, this did not seem to make the demon retreat.
He was like an unshakable mountain, standing firm on the battlefield and refusing to give in.
Bai Qi began to realize that something was wrong.
Generally speaking, faced with such a situation, the opponent will choose to temporarily move away and look for better attack opportunities.
Moreover, Baal's power is mainly based on thunder, which is more suitable for long-range attacks rather than close combat.
However, Bal did not retreat, but pressed forward step by step.
Soon, Baal told Bai Qi the answer.
He deliberately used the power of thunder to launch a close-range attack, almost giving up any means of defense, and finally exposed Bai Qi's flaw.
The moment Bai Qi raised his sword again, Bal's eyes suddenly burst into golden light, and his body turned into lightning and quickly came in front of Bai Qi. Bai Qi's sword stabbed into the air, but it was too late to turn the sword.
The devil's claws suddenly tightly grasped Bai Qi's wrist holding the sword.
Then he threw away the Fu Jiang Zhen Mo with his other hand, as if it was just an insignificant wooden stick.
Then, he mercilessly strangled Bai Qi's neck, making it impossible for him to breathe.
"Got you."
Barr laughed coldly.
Bai Qi was shocked. He had never seen such a cunning and powerful enemy.
This demon is constantly learning and evolving.
He paid the price of the wounds on his body to get the current situation, which is the situation Bai Qi least wants to see.
Bal could make countless mistakes, but Bai Qi knew that he could only make one mistake, and this time, the opportunity was ruthlessly strangled in the hands of this demon's claws.
