Screech!
Bai Ye swept his sword forward, and blue currents appeared.
The currents swept horizontally along the roof, causing it to shatter. Wooden planks were continuously lifted and tossed into the air.
Daki leaped backward, dodging the flying debris and the approaching lightning.
But in the next instant…
Bang!
Daki suddenly felt herself collide with something. Turning around, she saw Bai Ye appearing behind her, and then…
Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Daki's chin, and with a powerful swing of his arm, threw her forward.
Then…
Screech!
The sound of surging currents filled the air as Bai Ye transformed into a current and shot forward, catching up to Daki who was tumbling on the roof. He then stomped his foot, kicking Daki.
Daki was kicked into the air by Bai Ye, her face contorted in ferocity as she involuntarily opened her mouth.
"Cough, cough…"
Daki coughed, spitting blood from her mouth.
But it was clear that it wasn't over yet.
Screech!
Bai Ye's body once again transformed into lightning and shot into the air. The moment he flashed past Daki, Bai Ye reappeared and swept another kick across Daki's body.
Bang!
Daki's body plummeted towards the ground like a cannonball, smashing through the roof and into the house below.
Amidst the thunderous roar, dust billowed.
Bai Ye descended from the air and leaped through the hole he had created. He then saw Daki pouncing on a woman, biting her throat, and feasting on her blood and flesh.
Bai Ye stated indifferently, "Even if you recover your strength this way, you are no match for me. You are too weak."
"Shut up!"
Daki roared in anger, then twisted her waist. Her obi extended again, attacking Bai Ye.
Bai Ye casually sidestepped, and the obi whizzed past him.
Rumble, rumble!
The two obis struck the wall, shattering it.
Daki spread her arms to the sides and grunted, "Blood Demon Art, Eightfold Serrated Slash!"
The obi quickly split and crisscrossed within the room, forming a dense grid that sealed off the surrounding space.
Bai Ye glanced around. The technique looked decent, capable of both restricting the target's movement and attacking.
It was a Blood Demon Art that served both offense and defense.
However…
Bai Ye gripped his sword hilt and gave it a strong upward flick!
The obi that had just crossed in front of Bai Ye was severed by his sword.
Bai Ye looked at Daki and said, "Unfortunately, it's useless against me."
Bang!
The moment he severed the obi, Bai Ye's figure flickered, appearing directly in front of Daki. He raised Raija Nūju and slashed down with all his might.
Daki quickly crossed her arms, and the obi from her waist flew out, crossing in front of her.
Clang!
A clear metallic ringing sound echoed!
Bai Ye's sword strike hit the obi, sounding like it struck iron.
Daki blocked Bai Ye's attack. However, as he raised Raija Nūju to slash, Bai Ye's left hand suddenly reached down, pressing onto Daki's abdomen.
Suddenly, fierce flames erupted.
Flame Burst!
The sound of an explosion accompanied the blast of flames, sending Daki crashing through the wall and slamming into the outer wall of another house.
Daki's eyes were filled with ferocity. She struggled to get up, but at this moment…
Bai Ye raised his hand and pressed it towards Daki, saying, "Telekinesis!"
An invisible force suddenly appeared, pressing down on Daki. The wall behind her instantly shattered into pieces. Daki's face contorted in pain as she tried desperately to break free, but she couldn't move an inch.
Bai Ye raised Raija Nūju and swept his sword forward!
Screech!
A torrent of electricity appeared, enveloping the blade of Raija Nūju.
Then…
As Bai Ye raised his sword and slashed forward, a colossal lightning blade appeared and descended.
Rumble!
The moment the lightning blade struck, a deafening roar ensued.
Bai Ye's sword, along with the person and the house, was obliterated. Then Bai Ye raised his left hand again.
"Phoenix Flame!"
Balls of flame appeared in Bai Ye's palm and shot forward, exploding.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Thunderous explosions continued to erupt as scorching flames spread in all directions, igniting the surrounding houses.
Killing demons was troublesome; their heads had to be severed, or they would regenerate indefinitely.
Of course, there was another way…
To obliterate them to the point where they had no chance to regenerate.
Explosions were a good choice. If they were blown to smithereens, there would be no need to bother with decapitation.
Bai Ye thought as he leaped out of the building, landing lightly on the ground.
Before Bai Ye's eyes was a ruin, with raging flames burning all around.
Daki lay amidst the debris, her body scorched and covered in burns.
However, the burned areas were healing at a visible rate.
"Even that didn't kill her?" Bai Ye grinned. "Well, I admit, your regenerative ability is at the Upper Rank level."
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised his sword.
Daki looked at Bai Ye raising his sword, and her face suddenly showed a wronged expression. Tears began to stream down her face.
"Ah, he's bullying me! Didn't you see? He's bullying me! Why aren't you saying anything? Why aren't you saying anything? I'm being bullied…"
Daki suddenly wailed in sadness, crying as if a storm of flowers and rain had descended.
Bai Ye was stunned, and even the Raija Nūju he had raised hung suspended in mid-air.
He had seen it all before: curses, pleas for mercy, calm reflections on life, last words… all from those facing death.
But crying, crying so sadly…
Bai Ye had truly never seen it before!
This wasn't like children fighting, where they cry when they lose.
Although, with Daki's exquisite face, her sorrowful cries could indeed easily evoke pity.
But unfortunately, it was useless to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye flicked his wrist, and Raija Nūju descended again. But at this moment…
Clang!
A clear sound of weapons clashing suddenly rang out.
Bai Ye's pupils contracted!
From Daki's back, an arm had extended, wielding a scythe and blocking Bai Ye's Raija Nūju.
In the next instant, an incredibly terrifying aura erupted.
Gloomy, oppressive, filled with the feeling of death.
Making one feel…
Utter disgust!
