Sizzle!
Bai Ye swept his sword forward, and a bolt of azure current appeared.
The current skimmed across the rooftops, causing them to shatter. Wooden planks were continuously flung into the air, tumbling and flipping.
Daki continuously leaped backward, dodging flying debris and the approaching lightning.
But in the next moment…
Bang!
Daki suddenly felt herself collide with something. She looked back and saw Bai Ye appearing behind her. Then…
Bai Ye abruptly raised his hand, grabbed Daki by the chin, and with a powerful flick of his arm, flung her forward.
And then…
Sizzle!
The sound of surging current filled the air. Bai Ye transformed into a bolt of lightning, streaking forward. He caught up to Daki, who was tumbling across the rooftop, and with a swift kick, sent her flying.
Daki was kicked into the air by Bai Ye. Her face contorted in agony, and she involuntarily opened her mouth.
"Cough, cough…"
Daki coughed, spitting blood.
But it was clearly not over yet.
Sizzle!
Bai Ye's body once again transformed into lightning and shot into the air. The moment he zipped past Daki, Bai Ye reappeared and swept a kick across Daki's body.
Bang!
Daki's body plummeted like a cannonball, smashing through the rooftop and creating a hole before falling into the house below.
A deafening roar echoed, and dust billowed up.
Bai Ye descended from the sky, leaping through the hole he had created. He saw Daki pounced on a woman, biting her throat, siphoning her blood, and tearing at her flesh.
Bai Ye said 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. With a sudden twist of her waist, her sash extended again, lashing out at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye casually sidestepped, and the sash whizzed past him.
Rumble, rumble!
The two sashes struck the wall, shattering it to pieces.
Daki spread her arms to the sides and grunted, "Blood Demon Art: Eightfold Sash Slash!"
The sashes rapidly split and crisscrossed within the room, sealing off the surrounding space like a vast net.
Bai Ye glanced around. The technique looked impressive, capable of both restricting the target's movement and attacking.
It was a Blood Demon Art that combined offense and defense.
But…
Bai Ye gripped his sword hilt and gave a forceful upward slash!
The sashes that had been crisscrossing in front of him were severed by Bai Ye's sword.
Bai Ye looked at Daki and said, "Too bad, it's useless against me."
Bang!
The instant he cut through the sashes, Bai Ye's figure flashed, and he suddenly appeared before Daki. Raising Raiga, the Wrathful Beast, he brought it down with all his might.
Daki quickly crossed her arms. Her sash flew from behind her waist, interlocking in front of her.
Clang!
A crisp metallic ringing sound echoed!
Bai Ye's sword strike met the sash with the sound of metal on metal.
Daki blocked Bai Ye's attack. However, as he raised Raiga, the Wrathful Beast, for another strike, Bai Ye's left hand shot downwards and pressed onto Daki's abdomen.
Suddenly, fierce flames erupted.
Flame Burst!
An explosion resounded. Pushed by the flames, Daki was instantly sent smashing through the wall and slammed against the outer wall of an adjacent house.
Daki's face was contorted in ferocity. She struggled to get up, but at that moment…
Bai Ye raised his hand and pressed towards Daki's direction. "Telekinesis!"
An invisible force suddenly descended, crushing Daki. The wall behind her instantly crumbled. Daki's face twisted in agony as she struggled to break free but found herself utterly immobile.
Bai Ye raised Raiga, the Wrathful Beast, and swept his sword forward!
Sizzle!
A torrent of electricity surged, engulfing the blade of Raiga, the Wrathful Beast.
Then…
As Bai Ye raised his sword and slashed forward, a massive lightning blade appeared and crashed down.
Boom!
The moment the lightning blade struck, a colossal roar erupted.
Bai Ye’s single strike pulverized the person and the house. Then, Bai Ye raised his left hand again.
"Phoenix Flame!"
Orbs of flame appeared in Bai Ye's palm and swiftly shot forward, detonating.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Repeated, booming roars filled the air. 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 reduce them to a state where regeneration was impossible.
An explosion was an excellent option. If they were vaporized, there would be no need to bother with severing heads.
Bai Ye thought as he leaped out of the building, landing lightly on the ground.
Before Bai Ye's eyes lay a wasteland, with raging fires burning all around.
Daki lay amidst the ruins, her body aflame and covered in burns.
However, those burn marks were healing at a visibly rapid pace.
"Even that didn't kill her?" Bai Ye grinned. "Alright, I'll admit your regenerative abilities are Upper Rank level."
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised his sword.
Daki looked at Bai Ye raising his sword. A look of utter dejection suddenly appeared on her face, and tears began to stream down.
"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 wailed sadly, her tears flowing like a torrential rain.
Bai Ye froze, his raised Raiga, the Wrathful Beast, suspended in mid-air.
He had seen demons curse, beg for mercy, reminisce about their lives, and try to leave last words as they faced death.
But crying, crying so mournfully…
Bai Ye had truly never seen before!
This wasn't like children fighting, where one would cry after losing.
Although, coupled with Daki's exquisite beauty, her heartbroken cries could easily evoke pity.
But unfortunately, for Bai Ye, that was useless.
Bai Ye twitched his wrist, and Raiga, the Wrathful Beast, descended again. But at that moment…
Clang!
A crisp sound of weapon clashing suddenly rang out.
Bai Ye's pupils constricted!
From Daki's back, an arm had extended, wielding a scythe. It had blocked Bai Ye's Raiga, the Wrathful Beast.
In the next instant, an extremely terrifying aura erupted.
Gloomy, oppressive, filled with the sensation of death.
Making one feel utterly…
Repulsed!
…
