"I will take it really serious."

Gyatso put his only hand onto his forehead.

"No kidding."

"Let's cut the c.r.a.p."

Su Bai didn't accept his kindness. Usually, when Gyatso stepped back and offered a hint, Su Bai should take the excuse, if he was rational. After all, MT 1 had not ended and there were unknown tasks on the way; it was unwise to fight against each other at this point.

Su Bai used to think he had temporarily lost his mind that night, but now he realized that maybe this was who he truly was.

Gyatso didn't say anything more. Something red appeared between his eyebrows and then a light came directly at Su Bai. Even the air was steaming because of the extreme heat of this light.

Su Bai held Exorciser horizontal in front of him and blocked the light with the dagger. Immediately, he felt that the dagger had become hot. But it was not burning. The light broke into numerous spots scattering around Su Bai and started to join one another. Although Gyatso said he was serious, he chose to trap Su Bai instead of going for the kill.

The next moment, Gyatso went towards the window again.

When trapped in the light, Su Bai could barely breathe.

Seeing Gyatso running past him, Su Bai raised his head and roared. His body withered, but this time it was different. Now, although he felt evil and filthy, he still looked like a human being. He was more like the zombies in western movies, only more hysteric.

"Bang!"

Su Bai hit the light beam with his chest. The light beam trembled as his evil energy invaded. By the second time he hit it, it broke down.

Gyatso had just landed on the ground by the river.

Before he could stand still and search for the baby, he had to look up and try to dodge. But Su Bai was almost diving upside down. He grabbed Gyatso's neck with an arm and the two of them fell into the river together.

The water wasn't torrential, but neither of them came out. They started fighting at the bottom of the river and all the mud was stirred.

At last, Gyatso kicked Su Bai's underbelly while Su Bai hit Gyatso's shoulder. Both of them were bounced off and landed on the bank.

Black mist was twining around Gyatso. He kneeled on the ground, supporting himself with his only arm, but his eyes were fixed on Su Bai.

Su Bai sat on one knee with his evil energy running through his body. He looked so calm, neither sad nor happy.

After a while, both of them let out their breath and took in some fresh air. Then, almost at the same time, they jumped up. It was not a wide river, so they knocked into each other in the middle of the river.

A handprint appeared in Gyatso's palm, and he slapped onto Su Bai's face.

But Su Bai's Exorciser appeared quietly and went to Gyatso from beneath.

Neither of them seemed to leaving any room for escape. Especially Su Bai. He had ignored Gyatso's handprint as if he had never thought about getting away. He was going to kill himself along with Gyatso.

Finally, Gyatso called it off. His handprint hit the air so he could step back with the help of the reacting force. But Su Bai didn't stop. His dagger couldn't reach Gyatso's stomach, but it still went all the way up.

At last, Gyatso landed on the riverbank while Su Bai fell into the water.

Gyatso was standing there, bleeding. From his underbelly to his chin, there was a b.l.o.o.d.y line. It was a horrible open wound.

Step by step, Su Bai walked out of the river to Gyatso.

He was fine. When they were fighting to death, he didn't flinch even once. It was Gyatso who withdrew. And Su Bai didn't stop even after Gyatso retreated, leaving him an open wound as a souvenir.

When it came to strength, Gyatso was actually stronger than Su Bai. But he was much weaker now because he was hurt and one of his arm was gone. Most importantly, Su Bai was fighting like crazy as if he was not afraid of death at all. That made Gyatso cornered.

"Is it worth all this?" Gyatso looked at his wound.

"Surely it's not unworthy." Su Bai bent over and stretched himself. A growl like an animal came out of his throat. He was ready for a second round.

"Don't encourage me. You know I'm not gonna fight you to death." Gyatso's breath became faster. Exorciser didn't do anything special to his wound, but it was incredibly sharp, which was enough to cause a lot of damage.

Gyatso was trying to push his wound together with his muscles and stop the bleeding, but he failed. It didn't seem to be the worst wound he ever had, but the bleeding just wouldn't stop. That would be tough. He could feel himself growing weaker and weaker even when he was standing there doing nothing, let alone keep fighting.

"Alright, I give up, OK?" Gyatso sighed, turned around and was about to leave.

Su Bai didn't say anything, but his action gave him away.

He threw himself at Gyatso like a leopard.

Gyatso was really angry. He turned back, tore his clothes off and rapidly cast an obscure spell. A tattoo of a wolf on his chest immediately came to life and merged into Gyatso!

"Howl!!!!!!"

A wolf cry rose into the sky.

Fatty was lying in bed drawing talismans with difficulty. Suddenly he raised his head and murmured to himself in surprise: "F*ck! That sounds intense."

Then he involuntarily looked at Lam Chin-Ying's room through the window. The light was still on, and Chin was sitting by the table.

"He didn't even react to such a cry? Man, he must be still suffering from what happened last time. Didn't even mourn for his dead student."

Fatty shook off all his thoughts and continued his talisman drawing.

Seven, who had been sitting by the door meditating, opened his eyes a little, put his palms together and said:

"Amitabh."

But there was no way to tell whom it was for.

Suddenly Gyatso was twice faster than he used to be. Before Su Bai approached him, he went to Su Bai's side, grabbed Su Bai's neck with one hand and kicked against the ground. Both of them rose like seven or eight meters high above the ground.

Both of them were in the air, unable to use their strength with the help of earth.

Next, Gyatso turned himself upside down and fell down with Su Bai in an extremely fast speed. The minute they touch the earth, Gyatso let go of his grip and backed off.

"Bang!"

Su Bai pounded onto the ground. And the earth sunk beneath him.

Gyatso wasted no time. He held up a block stone by the river, walked to the pit and smashed.

"Bang!"

Even the ground trembled with the hit.

"You asked for death! You asked for it!"

Deep down Gyatso's eyes, it was totally black. After turning into evil, Gyatso had become rather violent. Now Su Bai had brought up the rage buried deep down his heart.

He bent over, lifted the stone and smashed again.

And again.

With all his strength.

Again and again!

Gyatso was almost exhausted. When the wolf tattoo returned to his chest and his breath was disordered, he finally stopped, fell onto the ground and supported himself with his only hand. He raised his head and breathed heavily.

He was tired out. Their fight didn't last long, but he was forced to summon his accompanying totem. To a great extent, it was because Su Bai had been fight desperately from the beginning. He was forced to fight with everything he could do.

All of a sudden, the block of stone wobbled. Then it was pushed away from inside.

A hand reached the edge of that pit. Then the other hand. Then a man climbed out. His head was all covered in blood, his body was wounded every here and there, even some bones were exposed in the air with his skin and flesh smashed open. His head was bleeding heavily, but not even a single drop of blood had dripped onto the ground.

Su Bai staggered up, walked to Gyatso and looked down at him.

"Ho ho ho… … Hem, cough…" Gyatso started to cough, "I'm not playing the game. Kill me if you want. You're crazy."

Su Bai slowly approached. Gyatso just stared at Su Bai and then closed his eyes.

"Clap!"

Gyatso's face was held by Su Bai. Then he was forced down into the dirt, his face pressed by Su Bai's hand and his body by Su Bai's weight.

Gyatso had given in. His neck was pointed by Su Bai's Exorciser and his blood running down from there. Moreover, the blood from his wound in his chest had already dyed the ground under him red.

Su Bai stuck out his tongue and licked Gyatso's earlobe. Then he blew into Gyatso's ear and whispered in a low husky voice:

"Have I permitted your leaving?"

Gyatso didn't say anything. He was too weak to make any sound.

But Su Bai got off him, stood up and held his Exorciser.

"Alright, now you can leave."

After that, Su Bai turned around and headed downstream. He had to support himself against the ground or rocks nearby from time to time while walking away. Apparently, he was also like a spent arrow, hardly any better than Gyatso, only managing to put himself together.

Gyatso coughed out blood. He was still lying on the ground.

"Such a… psychopath!"
