"Tsk!" Bai Ye clicked his tongue. "What a troublesome ability!"
Hyoukai suddenly became excited, looking at Bai Ye. "You think my Blood Demon Art is strong too, right?"
Bai Ye glanced at Hyoukai. "It's just troublesome."
Hyoukai didn't pay attention to what Bai Ye said and continued to press, "How does it compare to Lower Rank Five?"
"Not at all," Bai Ye said. "I'll be cutting you down anyway."
As Bai Ye spoke, the Nanming Lihuo Sword swept forward again.
Accompanied by the sound of the sword, the Nanming Lihuo Sword immediately transformed into a long rainbow, striking forward.
However, Hyoukai immediately began to drum on his body again, and the room began to spin, shifting their positions. The long rainbow formed by the Nanming Lihuo Sword landed in an empty space.
Hyoukai said, "Your attacks can't hit me."
"That's not necessarily true," Bai Ye said with a slight smile. "Just cover the entire room with the attack."
*Crack!*
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers with a crisp sound.
In an instant, the flying long rainbow exploded.
Flowing Light Through the Heavens (The sword light exploded, transforming into one hundred and eight streams of radiant light to attack)
The exploding long rainbow turned into countless streams of light, originating from where the long rainbow had exploded, and shot out in all directions.
No matter how Hyoukai spun the room, the size of the space remained unchanged.
Therefore…
In that instant, the entire space was covered by the exploding streams of light.
This sudden attack seemed to leave Hyoukai helpless. He could only stare blankly at the flying streams of light.
Then…
*Thwack, thwack, thwack…*
Several streams of light struck Hyoukai's body, piercing him continuously.
The immense force even sent Hyoukai flying backward, smashing him hard against the wall.
Blood flowed out continuously.
However, for a demon, injuries of this magnitude were not a major problem.
To kill a demon, one either had to expose them to sunlight, decapitate them, or slice their body into pieces that could no longer regenerate or recover.
Therefore, although the bloody holes in Hyoukai's body were gruesome, they were not fatal.
However, the sudden blow stunned Hyoukai for a moment, and then he became enraged.
"How can I be defeated by a human? Impossible, impossible…" Hyoukai roared. "Blood Demon Art, Speed Drumming!"
Hyoukai's hands moved with unimaginable speed, becoming streaks of afterimages as he continuously beat the drums on his body.
*Dong, dong-dong, dong, dong-dong-dong…*
The drumbeats were no longer singular but formed a distinct rhythm.
In an instant, the house began to spin again, its positions changing more rapidly than before.
As the house turned, the surrounding streams of light crisscrossed, filling every part of the room in the blink of an eye, and at the same time…
The traces of claw attacks began to appear, and their power had clearly increased, changing from three to five.
At this moment, the house seemed on the verge of shattering.
Bai Ye used his instant movement twice, repositioning himself to a corner.
Bai Ye saw through Hyoukai's intention, which was to play a game of mutual destruction, harming the enemy a thousand times while also hurting himself eight hundred.
The scattered streams of light continuously struck Hyoukai's body, but as long as his head wasn't severed, Hyoukai didn't care about the injuries. After all, as long as he killed Bai Ye, these injuries would quickly heal.
However, the house's frantic spinning, combined with the sonic claw attacks, made Hyoukai's attacks completely unpredictable.
The claw marks appeared out of nowhere, making it impossible to determine the timing or pattern of the attacks.
In fact, it wasn't that Bai Ye couldn't discern the pattern, but that Hyoukai himself couldn't.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. Since that was the case…
Then there was no need to discern it!
Kill Hyoukai, and everything would naturally end!
"Five Spirit Curses!"
Thunder Flash!
Bai Ye took out ten talismans at once, spreading them out in a fan shape. The talismans immediately burst into flames.
Then…
*Rumble, rumble, rumble…*
The sound of thunder echoed continuously, and streams of azure electricity appeared, piercing through the entire house and advancing forward.
The next moment, accompanied by the drumbeats, Hyoukai's claw attacks appeared again.
With a boom, a stream of electricity was shattered, exploding into countless arcs of electricity that scattered in all directions.
But it didn't matter. Bai Ye had taken out ten talismans precisely to prepare for such a situation.
Although Thunder Flash was an offensive spell, it was being used at this moment to…
Cover Bai Ye!
Bai Ye plunged into the lightning, moving forward with the thunder of Thunder Flash.
*Rumble, rumble!*
The sound of exploding lightning echoed, and the lightning surrounding Bai Ye was shattered one by one, scattering into arcs of electricity.
This was the drawback of Hyoukai's concentrated attacks. The trajectory of his claw attacks was indeed difficult to predict.
But…
Since Hyoukai himself couldn't distinguish the trajectory, he naturally couldn't accurately pierce through the lightning to attack Bai Ye!
Then…
Bai Ye leaped out, passing through the scattering arcs of electricity, and appeared before Hyoukai. He then grabbed Hyoukai's head.
*Bang!*
Bai Ye grabbed Hyoukai's head and forcefully pressed it downward, slamming him onto the ground.
The drumming stopped at this moment, the constantly spinning house returned to normal, and the claw attacks ceased.
Hyoukai stared blankly at Bai Ye, his face filled with unwillingness.
"My Blood Demon Art…" Hyoukai murmured. "Is it really inferior to Lower Rank?"
"No, it's not inferior, it's just too weak for me!" Bai Ye said. "They are all too weak."
*Slash!*
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, he reached upward.
The surrounding streams of light condensed, transforming back into the Nanming Lihuo Sword, which returned to Bai Ye's hand.
Then…
*Slash!*
Bai Ye raised his sword and thrust it towards Hyoukai's throat, piercing it. He then slid the blade sharply to the side, severing Hyoukai's head.
Everything returned to peace.
Looking at the head rolling to the side, Bai Ye slowly stood up, then opened the door, which was covered in claw marks, preparing to leave. Just then, Bai Ye saw a figure sprinting towards the entrance.
Bai Ye couldn't help but curve his lips.
"No, no, it's not what you think," Karasumaru quickly waved his hands. "This is a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to trick you. Actually…"
Bai Ye didn't give Karasumaru a chance to explain. He slowly bent down, reached out, and grasped the hilt of the Nanming Lihuo Sword, assuming a drawing posture.
"Thunder Breathing!"
Bai Ye took a deep breath, and then the sound of crackling arcs of electricity suddenly appeared around his body.
Orange-yellow currents instantly enveloped Bai Ye's entire body.
The next second…
"First Form, Thunderclap and Flash!"
…
