Bang!
Bai Ye swept his leg forward, kicking Daki hard in the waist. Instantly, flames erupted.
"Flame Burst!"
Boom!
The moment the flames appeared on Bai Ye's body, they exploded. With a tremendous roar, Daki's body was sent flying.
Bang, bang, bang!
Daki's body smashed through walls as she flew backward.
Bai Ye did not stop. He raised his right hand, forming a gun-like gesture.
Zzzt!
Azure current surged, and then a bolt of electricity shot forward.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The current streaked forward, and houses ahead exploded one by one.
The deafening roars also attracted a commotion.
People continuously rushed out of their houses, fleeing in terror onto the streets. In houses across the street, everyone fearfully shut their windows.
At this very 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 lewdly let his gaze linger on her chest.
Then…
From behind Daki, her obi suddenly writhed and swept outwards.
Before the surrounding crowd could even react, as the obi swept past, heads began to fly, tumbling through the air.
Time seemed to stand still. The people around seemed to lose their breath.
A moment later, someone screamed. Immediately, the onlookers scattered like startled birds, fleeing in all directions.
At this time, Bai Ye leaped out of the house, his body transforming into lightning, and plummeted towards Daki.
Boom!
Daki quickly leaped to the side.
The lightning struck the ground with a deafening roar, shattering a section of the earth.
In mid-air, Daki spread her arms, and countless obi once again shot towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye’s figure emerged from the lightning. Countless mud-like substances appeared on his body, the Steel Slime writhing rapidly before solidifying into the form of the Aries Cloth.
Telekinesis!
Bai Ye merely glanced, and the incoming obi froze in mid-air.
In that instant, Daki felt as if her obi was being gripped by a giant hand, wrestling for control. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make the obi move forward.
Then…
Bai Ye raised his hand forward!
Zzzt!
A piercing electrical sound emerged, and a bolt of current shot from Bai Ye's hand into the distance.
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, Bai Ye transformed into electricity, instantly teleporting in front of Daki and unleashing a sweeping kick.
Daki's face contorted in ferocity, her teeth gritted. With a forceful swing of her hands, the surrounding obi attacked, crisscrossing in front of Daki to form a defense.
But…
Bang!
Bai Ye's kick struck the obi. Although the obi's defense was not breached,
fierce flames instantly ignited. Then…
Boom!
The thunderous sound of Flame Burst erupted again. A massive fireball exploded between them, blasting Daki away once more while the raging flames also burned away Daki's obi.
Bai Ye did not pursue immediately. Instead, he beckoned towards the direction Daki was flying.
Zzzt!
The sound of surging current arose again, and then a lightning strike surged from beneath Daki's body, striking the still-airborne Daki and sending her tumbling across the rooftops.
Looking at Daki lying on the ground, Bai Ye walked towards her step by step and said, "I have a question. Are you truly an Upper Rank of the Twelve Demon Moons?"
Daki gritted her teeth and raised herself, kneeling on the ground, and exclaimed, "What do you mean? My number was personally bestowed by Lord Muzan, the Demon King!"
"Don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything by it, I just feel…" Bai Ye looked at Daki and said, "I feel you are too weak!"
Bai Ye wasn't trying to provoke her, he genuinely felt Daki was not strong.
With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Aries Cloth, Bai Ye felt it would be absurd if Daki could defeat him.
Even with the defense of the Aries Cloth, Bai Ye felt he could stand there and let Daki attack while he munched on some melon seeds.
However, whether she could win was one thing, and Daki's displayed combat ability was another.
Bai Ye even felt Daki's strength was not much greater than Rui, the spider demon of the Lower Ranks.
Her obi attacks looked sharp, but they were neither as sharp nor as durable as Rui's spider silk, nor did she possess the same quantity.
If anything, Daki's physical combat skills were clearly much superior to Rui's.
But…
One was an Upper Rank, the other a Lower Rank…
The difference shouldn't be this small, right?
On the other side, Bai Ye's words seemed to deeply sting Daki, causing her once exquisite face to contort into a狰狞 expression, veins bulging on her body.
At this moment, the beautiful courtesan seemed to have truly become a demon.
"Shut up!"
From behind Daki, the obi surged again, growing exceptionally large before slashing forward.
Bai Ye stood his ground. The obi could not possibly harm him.
As expected, the moment the obi touched Bai Ye, his body transformed into lightning, passing straight through it.
Boom!
A massive roar followed.
The enormous obi struck a house behind him, cleaving it in two.
As the walls collapsed, the people inside the house were exposed.
The customers immediately fled, while the courtesans huddled together, trembling.
Daki seemed to have an idea and let out a ferocious laugh, slashing her obi at Bai Ye again.
Daki growled, "If you dodge again, these people are dead."
Daki's attack was on a direct line between Bai Ye and the house. If Bai Ye dodged, the people inside would surely die.
Then…
The obi passed through Bai Ye's body and swept into the house.
Fleeing customers were instantly cut to pieces, collapsing to the ground with screams.
Two courtesans, huddled together and weeping in a corner, had bloodlines appear on their necks and large amounts of blood splattered from the mere gust of wind that swept past.
Their heads quickly fell from their necks, rolling to the side.
Daki looked at Bai Ye in astonishment. Bai Ye clearly had no intention of caring about these people.
Daki said, "You…"
"What about me?" Bai Ye extended his hand, and Raijū (Thunder Beast) slowly materialized from Bai Ye's palm. Then, Bai Ye smiled and said, "My only goal is to kill you. As for whether you kill people, feel free to do so. What does it have to do with me?"
