Chapter 95: All Explorers Are Destroyed
Chapter 95: The Explorers Are All Destroyed (Fifth Update)
Jifutaro could accept that a human pillar could fight him back and forth, but he could not accept that a human could resist his blood demon art without weapons and take it without any harm.
He had seen the entire battle just now. The attack from the demon with long-range blood vampire magic landed on the man in black, but failed to break his skin.
If the other party was a ghost, he could still understand it. After all, powerful ghosts have tough skin and can even shatter the Nichirin Sword of the Demon Slayer Corps. But in his perception, the other party was clearly... not a ghost.
But he could also be sure that the male creature in front of him was definitely not a human!
Because the human body is weak and can never block the blood demon magic and the shattering iron sword, the opponent must not be human!
"How rude."
Lu Li's expression darkened. "My name is Lu Li. I am a new swordsman like Aoi who has joined the Demon Slayer Corps. But I am a human with pure bloodline who has been certified by the Demon Slayer Corps."
As he spoke, lightning flashed between his breaths and he ran at an extremely fast speed with the blessing of Instant Step. The sound of thunder and air friction echoed in the street. As he accelerated, smoke and dust spread backwards in a ring shape. He passed through the long street like a flash of lightning and leaped towards the rooftop in the distance.
The sniper who was originally locking his sights on Lu Li through the scope widened his eyes, because Lu Li was only two hundred meters away from him just now, but in just one second, Lu Li's face was quickly magnified in the scope... and the opponent had already arrived in front of him.
What kind of monsters are they...hunting down?
With a desire for the soul, the prisoner cut off the neck of the sniper who was too shocked to fire a shot.
However, Jifu Taro arrived late, and his blood sickle fell behind Lu Li, but only touched the remaining golden electric light.
Lu Li had already jumped up, and the long sword slashed down from above with the force of splitting Mount Hua. Jifu Tailang barely fought back and blocked the sword, but was also hammered into the house below by the huge force.
Lu Li stood in the hole and swung his knife, the blood of the sniper splashed in an arc on the beams. He lowered his head and looked down at the prostitute Taro below, "Now it's quiet, I'll take you to see my sister."
"Land from!"
Jifutaro roared and released all his strength. The blood blade drawn by the blood demon technique set off a blood-colored storm, which shattered the entire house. He rode the whirlwind to kill Lu Li who was on high, his eyes full of unwillingness and hatred.
Could it be that I can't even avenge my sister?
I'm sorry, Mei, I'm a useless brother!
boom--
Filled with grief and indignation, Jifu Taro rushed towards Lu Li with all his strength, and the blood sickle and long sword collided dozens of times in the air in an instant.
The two men fell to the ground under the influence of gravity, and the fight was accompanied by sparks of weapons clashing and a bloody storm.
Hinazuru, who had just finished evacuating the crowd, turned back and saw Lu Li and Jifutaro fighting, as well as the corpses of seven evil spirits. She was so shocked that her mouth opened slightly.
She had only been away for a few minutes, so how could this group of powerful ghosts be wiped out?
The evil ghost that was fighting with Lu Li on the street at this moment was definitely an upper-rank demon, because a lower-rank demon would never make such a loud noise when it attacked, and its destructive power would be incomparable.
She was glad that she had let the residents of Yoshiwara escape, otherwise, with the speed and destructive power of these two people, dozens of people would have died tragically wherever they passed.
Hinazuru's sister, the female ninja Makiu with short black and gold hair, also jumped onto the roof. Her eyes widened when she saw this scene. "So strong... Is he the new pillar?"
"Is this the power of the upper ranks? It's so scary. I can't do anything about it..."
Suma, who had long black hair, also came over. When he saw Jifutaro, he was frightened by his terrifying aura and could not help but cross his shoulders.
"Did he do all of this?"
Hinazuru looked at the corpses of the demons, muttering to herself, and wondering why the demons had not dissipated even though they were clearly dead. "There shouldn't be any other members of the Demon Slayer Corps here..."
Maki replied to Hinazuru. Although she said so, there was also disbelief in her eyes, because when she met Hinazuru before, she heard Hinazuru say that there were several "Twelve Demon Moons" here.
She believed that her good sister Hinazuru would not lie to her, so doesn't that mean that seven demons with strength almost as strong as the Twelve Demon Moons have been killed?
Even if he only has the strength of a Lower Moon, he is still very powerful to be able to kill seven Lower Moon Twelve Demon Moons by himself.
Moreover, the man on the street was still fighting with Upper Six, so doesn’t that mean he killed seven demons in a row when he was outnumbered by eight!?
"He is so strong, perhaps even stronger than Lord Tianyuan."
Suma exclaimed, it was the first time she had seen such a powerful swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even though she admired her husband very much, she had to admit that it was good enough for Uzui Tengen to escape in the previous situation, let alone he killed seven of the eight enemies alone.
"What are you talking about? Master Tianyuan is the strongest!"
After hearing what Suma said, Maki raised his hand and patted her on the head.
Suma covered his head a little aggrieved, "But, that pillar down there is really strong..."
Hinazuru did not join in the bickering between the two men, but focused on watching the battle on the street. She just felt in her heart that this pillar who could fight eight people alone was indeed very strong.
Wait... one against eight?
Didn't she remember that the upper-rank demon was a woman before? There were seven demons surrounding Kyogoku's house. She had just seen the body of Dakimaki. So where did this upper-rank demon who was fighting with Lu Li come from?
Could it be that Lu Li has already killed an Upper Rank and is now fighting with a new Upper Rank?
When did such a powerful man appear in the Demon Slayer Corps?
At this moment, the sound of the collision between Jifutaro's blood sickle and Lu Li's long sword was like hammering iron, echoing under this false night. Both sides had extremely high speed and strength, and the collision created gusts of wind, constantly ravaging this street that had already been in a horrible state.
The Prison Demon and the Blood Scythe intersected, and through the sparks, Lu Li saw the eyes of Jifu Taro up close, and there was no desire for life in them.
After another collision, the two sides separated, and even the ghost Jifutaro began to gasp for breath, which showed how much energy he had just consumed.
Normally, demons would not get tired unless they expended too much energy on regeneration or used blood demon arts, and now Jifutaro had both.
His body was injured many times during the fight with Lu Li. Even though his super-speed regeneration was very proficient, it was still very difficult for him to recover. Moreover, the opponent's knife was very strange. It seemed that there was a kind of toxin in the place where he was cut, which was corroding his wound and continuing to cause harm to him.
Every time he was injured, the duration of the injury would be prolonged, which greatly consumed his strength.
What made him despair was that he had already used all his strength and was covered in blood, but the man opposite him had not been injured at all.
Although he had never received formal instruction in swordsmanship or martial arts, Jifutaro believed that he had a talent for fighting. Otherwise, he would not have been feared by many people as a debt collector during his lifetime, and he would not have been able to kill properly trained samurai.
After becoming a ghost, he continued to fight for hundreds of years to protect his sister. It can be said that his combat experience and skills are far better than when he was still a human.
But even so, he failed to hurt the man in front of him at all. His always confident fighting instinct seemed to be worthless in front of him. In terms of the sophistication of fighting skills, he was more like being left several blocks behind by the opponent.
After his sister Daki died, he had taken back the power he had placed on Daki. He clearly felt that he was stronger than the man opposite him, but he could not gain an advantage in a head-on confrontation. Not only that, he also showed signs of being suppressed.
The opponent is a swordsman who uses the Thunder Breathing Technique, and his speed is unmatched. The only thing that puzzles him now is why the opponent hasn't killed him yet?
Yes, Jifutaro had become enlightened after a period of fighting. Although he was unwilling, he was no match for the man in front of him. The man had several chances to chop off his head, but he did not do so.
Thinking of this, Jifu Taro was even more grief-stricken and angry, "Are you humiliating me?"
