Bang!
Byakuya swept his leg forward, fiercely kicking Daki in the waist, and then, flames ignited.
"Flame Burst!"
With a rumble!
The flames exploded the moment they appeared on Byakuya's body. Amidst the deafening roar, Daki's body was sent flying.
Bang, bang, bang!
Daki's body smashed through walls consecutively as she flew backward.
Byakuya didn't stop. He raised his right hand, striking a pistol-firing pose.
Zzzt!
Azure currents surged, and then, a current shot forward.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The current sped forward, and then the houses in front exploded one by one.
The immense roar also attracted a commotion.
People continuously rushed out of the houses, fleeing in terror into the street. In the houses across the street, everyone fearfully shut their windows.
It was at this moment...
Daki crashed through a window and landed on the street.
"Isn't that Miss Warabihime?"
The men around looked at Daki. One of them lecherously fixed his gaze on Daki's chest.
Then...
Behind Daki, her obi suddenly began to dance, sweeping outwards in all directions.
Before the surrounding people could react to what was happening, as the obi swept past, heads flew off one by one, tumbling through the air.
Time seemed to stand still. The surrounding crowd seemed to lose their breath.
After a moment, someone screamed, and then the onlookers scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.
At this moment, Byakuya leaped out of the house, his body transforming into lightning, and smashed towards Daki.
Rumble!
Daki quickly leaped to the side.
The lightning struck the ground, creating a deafening roar and shattering a piece of the ground.
In mid-air, Daki spread her arms, and countless obi flew towards Byakuya again.
Byakuya's figure reappeared amidst the lightning. Countless mud appeared on his body. The Steel Slime wriggled rapidly, then solidified into the shape of the Aries Cloth.
Telekinesis!
Byakuya merely glanced at it, and the flying obi suspended in mid-air.
At that moment, Daki felt as if her obi was being grasped by a large hand, wrestling for control of the obi. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make the obi move forward.
Then...
Byakuya raised his hand forward!
Zzzt!
A piercing sound of electricity occurred, and a current emerged from Byakuya's hand, heading forward.
Daki reacted quickly, leaping onto the roof of a nearby house the moment the current appeared.
The current struck the ground, shattering a portion of it. Then, Byakuya transformed into current, instantly teleporting in front of Daki, and swept his leg forward.
Daki's face contorted, gritting her teeth. She swung her hands forcefully, and the surrounding obi attacked, crisscrossing in front of Daki, forming a defense.
But...
Bang!
Byakuya's leg swept across the obi. Although it didn't break through the obi's defense.
However, fierce flames instantly ignited, followed by...
Rumble!
The deafening roar of Flame Burst sounded again. A giant fireball exploded between the two, sending Daki flying out again, while the raging flames also burned up Daki's obi.
Byakuya didn't pursue immediately. Instead, he beckoned with his fingers towards the direction Daki flew.
Zzzt!
The sound of surging currents arose again, and then a flash of lightning erupted from beneath Daki's body, striking the still-falling Daki again and sending her tumbling across the rooftops.
Looking at Daki lying on the ground, Byakuya walked forward step by step and said, "I have a question, are you really an Upper Rank of the Twelve Kizuki?"
Daki gritted her teeth and raised herself, kneeling on the ground, and shouted, "What do you mean? My number was personally bestowed by Lord Muzan, the Demon King!"
"Don't misunderstand me, I don't mean anything by it, I just feel..." Byakuya looked at Daki and said, "I feel you are too weak!"
Byakuya truly wasn't trying to provoke her, he genuinely felt Daki wasn't strong.
Although with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Aries Cloth, Byakuya felt it would be absurd for Daki to be able to defeat him.
Even with the Aries Cloth's defense, Byakuya felt he could calmly eat some sunflower seeds before being attacked.
However, whether she could win was one thing, and the combat ability Daki displayed was another.
Byakuya even felt Daki's strength was not much stronger than Rui, the Spider Demon of Lower Rank Five.
The attacks from her obi looked fierce, but they were neither as sharp as Rui's spider silk, nor as durable, nor as numerous.
If anything, Daki's physical combat skills were clearly much stronger than Rui's.
But...
One Upper Rank, one Lower Rank...
It shouldn't be such a small gap, right?
On the other side, Byakuya's words seemed to pierce Daki, causing her exquisite face to instantly turn ferocious, and veins began to appear all over her body.
At this moment, the beautiful courtesan seemed to have truly become a demon.
"Shut up!"
Behind Daki, the obi surged again, becoming exceptionally large, and then slashed forward.
Byakuya stood still, as the obi was unlikely to cause him any harm.
As expected, the moment the obi touched Byakuya, his body transformed into lightning and passed straight through.
Rumble!
A deafening roar followed.
The massive obi struck a house behind, splitting it in two.
As the walls collapsed, the people inside the house appeared before the two.
The guests immediately fled, while the courtesans huddled together, trembling.
Daki seemed to realize something and suddenly laughed ferociously, slashing her obi towards Byakuya again.
Daki growled, "If you dodge again, these people are all dead."
Daki's attack was on the direct line between Byakuya and the house. As long as Byakuya dodged, the people in the house would surely die.
Then...
The obi pierced Byakuya's body and swept directly into the house.
The fleeing guests were instantly cut to pieces, falling to the ground with screams.
Two courtesans, huddled together and crying in a corner, had blood lines appear on their necks from the mere gust of wind from the sweep, and large amounts of blood splattered.
Their heads quickly fell from their necks, rolling to the side.
Daki looked at Byakuya in surprise. Byakuya didn't seem to care about these people at all.
Daki said, "You..."
"What about me?" Byakuya extended his hand, and the Thunder Fang Beast slowly materialized from his palm. Then, Byakuya smiled and said, "My only goal is to kill you. As for you killing people, go ahead and kill them, what does it have to do with me?"
...
