Screech!
The moment Bai Ye's sword slashed forward.
Vast swathes of lightning bloomed.
Accompanying the sword's release, the crackling current spread out like a great net, enveloping everything from all directions.
Then…
The belt began to scream.
The explosive current, sharp as a blade, swept out, effortlessly slicing through the belt, breaking it into pieces.
At the same time…
As the belt was cut apart again, more people fell out, crashing onto the ground around them, even…
"Agatsuma Zenitsu?"
Bai Ye saw a figure fall out, who was none other than Agatsuma Zenitsu.
This guy had been captured too?
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
At this moment, the belt roared in anger. Then, the belt, severed in mid-air by Bai Ye, instantly straightened, transforming into a multitude of blades.
Bai Ye stood unmoved, knowing it was futile no matter how many times they attacked.
The opponent's attacks were ineffective against his elemental transformation.
But Bai Ye wasn't the only one who didn't intend to retaliate.
As the straightened scraps of cloth rained down from the air, a soft female exclamation sounded from behind Bai Ye.
The next instant, Bai Ye saw a large number of kunai fly towards the sky, colliding with the scraps and deflecting them.
Bai Ye glanced sideways and saw a very beautiful woman with a high ponytail, a mole beneath her left eye, and a tight-fitting ninja outfit that accentuated her voluptuous figure.
Bai Ye couldn't help but ask, "A ninja?"
The other party replied, "Demon Slayer Corps?"
Bai Ye scratched his head and said, "Something like that."
The other party immediately got excited, "Has Tengen-sama arrived?"
"Uzumaki Tengen?" Bai Ye realized with a jolt; "Ah, you're his missing subordinate?"
"I'm not just his subordinate!" the woman emphasized unhappily, "I'm also his wife, Hinatsuru!"
"Nani?"
Bai Ye's face immediately contorted into a question mark. That guy, who looked so dashing and flirtatious, actually had a wife?
Hinatsuru nodded, "Besides me, Tengen-sama has two other wives!"
"Ah?"
Bai Ye was instantly astonished. Three wives?
"Hello, 110? There's bigamy here!"
But…
How enviable!
Bai Ye mused, if he joined the Demon Slayer Corps now and became Uzumaki Tengen's disciple, would it still be too late?
"Are you done chattering?"
At this moment, an angry roar came from the air. It was the belt, which had attacked again, splitting into dozens of strands and descending simultaneously from the sky.
Hinatsuru immediately assumed a defensive stance.
"No need to be so nervous, it's fine," Bai Ye said to Hinatsuru, "How did you get captured?"
Hinatsuru replied, "I heard the screams of the girls. When I rushed over, I found the room empty, and then I was knocked unconscious."
"Oh!"
Bai Ye nodded. This was clearly a trap. It seemed the Sound Hashira's wives weren't very clever.
Meanwhile, as Bai Ye casually chatted with Hinatsuru, the belt's attack arrived.
Boom, boom, boom!
The belts continuously pierced Bai Ye's body and then embedded themselves into the ground.
Amidst the rumbling, vast clouds of dust were kicked up.
Hinatsuru was stunned. She had thought Bai Ye was confident, but he was actually hit head-on?
Was the new subordinate her husband had recruited not very bright?
But just then…
Screech!
Vast swathes of azure current surged out of the dust, spreading out along the ground in all directions.
Crackling, crackling!
The ground continuously emitted light sounds. As the current swept over it, cracks began to appear.
Affected by the electromagnetic force, small stones rolled on the ground and then slowly floated up, about half a meter off the ground.
Bai Ye stepped out of the dust, looking at the belt suspended in the air and said, "It's about time this ended. I'm already getting a little bored."
"Brat!" the belt said angrily, "Who do you think you are?"
Bai Ye smiled, not answering. Instead, he slowly bent down, placing one hand on the Thunder Fang Raging Beast and the other hand above the hilt, assuming a sword-drawing stance.
"Breath of Thunder…" Bai Ye took a deep breath and said, "Thunderclap and Flash!"
Bang!
Bai Ye stomped on the ground and leaped forward.
In an instant, Bai Ye's body transformed into a bolt of lightning, rapidly weaving through the belt.
As Bai Ye weaved, the belt continuously emitted tearing sounds, being cut into pieces.
He reached the rock wall, stomped on it, and gripped Thunder Fang Raging Beast tightly.
Thunder Fang (releases current from the blade, capable of aerial slashes, can also wrap around the blade for reinforcement, and can be used with all lightning effects).
Screech!
The sound of crackling current suddenly rang out.
Vast amounts of current appeared, encircling Thunder Fang Raging Beast. Then, Bai Ye raised the sword high.
"Slash!"
Bai Ye let out a low roar and then slashed downwards with the sword.
The current condensed on the sword transformed into an electric blade, which roared down towards the ground.
The electric blade was only a foot long initially, but as it descended, it continued to grow, its speed astonishingly fast.
In the blink of an eye, the electric blade became so enormous that it spanned the entire space.
The ends of the electric blade cut through the rock wall, and then with a thunderous roar, the rock walls on both sides were forcibly cleaved open.
Countless debris rained down, and large amounts of dust swirled, forming two pillars of dust.
Within this space, it was as if it had been instantly covered by electricity.
The walls, the ground, the surrounding rocks, every part shimmered with azure arcs of electricity.
The piercing sound of the current vibrated the eardrums.
Then…
Rumble!
The electric blade finally struck the ground, and also struck the belt.
The entire space trembled at this moment.
Even the buildings of the Entertainment District above began to tremble and shake continuously.
Some people looked around in terror.
Some quickly hid under tables.
Some steadied themselves against the walls.
Was this…
An earthquake?
At the same time…
The ground below was completely filled with lightning. As the lightning gradually dissipated, the belt was revealed to be completely scorched black.
"You have rescued the people trapped by the demons, and received mission rewards: Chain Twin Blades x1, Advanced Breath of Sound x1"
The belt was utterly destroyed, and the people trapped within were released. Bai Ye's mission was naturally completed.
However…
Things were clearly not over yet!
Because the next hidden mission had appeared.
…
