Chapter 116 That Day, Wu Mie
Chapter 116 That day, Wuzhan again...
Muzan looked at the knife wrapped in lightning in the hand of the man in black in front of him. Due to the heat caused by the friction between thunder and air, the black blade had turned red, and because of some strange ability, it turned dark red, appearing even sharper and tougher.
The murderous intent coming from the opponent and the devilish roar coming from the knife made Muzan's scalp tingle, as if he was back to that night hundreds of years ago.
The enormous pressure made Muzan even forget to fight back. He subconsciously dodged, but the opponent was too fast and he was shocked and hesitated for a moment, so he was unable to dodge.
Like a hot knife cutting through oil, the dark red blade slashed down, cutting from the side of Wuzan's neck, extending all the way to his lower waist, almost cutting him in half!
"what--"
Wu Can screamed in pain and fear, and his body jumped back, releasing countless blood-red thorns to pierce Lu Li, while he himself shouted as he retreated, "Ming Nu!"
As an excellent employee, Mingnu reacted immediately and controlled the Infinite City to open the door where Muzan was, and transferred Muzan to a place farther away from Lu Li.
Seeing that Muzan was transferred, Lu Li swung his sword and splashed Wuzan's dirty blood on the ground, forming an elegant arc.
He was surrounded by thunder and dark purple mist, and spewed out high-temperature white air from his mouth. Under the influence of the hot air flow, his hair and the black clothes on his body fluttered upwards slightly. In the eyes of many evil spirits in Infinite City, he looked like a Shura Thunder God.
Lu Li grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Ghost King? That's it?"
Wuzan, who was moved to the upper side, looked at Lu Li with fear, "Kill him!"
He covered his neck with one hand and tried hard to heal the wound, but even after he reconnected his body, a scar remained. He also felt that there was a corrosive force in his body that was constantly destroying his cells, and the electrical heat from the Thunder Breath also remained in his body.
Fear surged uncontrollably from the depths of his heart. Lu Li's existence reminded him of the man who had chopped him to death hundreds of years ago, forcing him to self-destruct to escape.
Damn it, why did the Demon Slayer Corps have another dangerous person?!
Fortunately, today is different from the past. He has stronger fighting force under his command. Tsugikuni Yoriichi's brother, Tsugikuni Iwaki, has also joined his camp. As the guardian of Upper Moon One, he is now fighting in his home ground, Infinite Castle, and the situation is much better.
Muzan was unwilling to admit that he could not beat Lu Li. He thought that Lu Li was not as stressful as Jiguo Yuanyi, but he did not want to lower his status to fight Lu Li when he had subordinates already, and he did not want to take the risk.
"How dare you attack Lord Muzan?"
The cautious Douma had already released the blood demon technique before reaching the platform where Lu Li was. Amid the tremors of the Infinite City, a tens-meter-tall ice crystal Bodhisattva statue rose up.
Vampire Art·Misty Ice·Water Lily Bodhisattva!
The huge Bodhisattva put his hands together, and under Douma's control, swung his knife towards Lu Li. At the same time, a large amount of ice crystals spit out from the mouth of the Ice Bodhisattva.
At the same time, the new Upper Rank Four, Explorer Qingfeng, also took action. His blood demon art was similar to that of the former Lower Rank Five, Rui, and he used silk threads.
It’s just that Qingfeng’s silk thread is more concealed, completely transparent, and dozens of times tougher than Lei’s silk thread. It is virtually impossible to defend against, and is much more dangerous in a chaotic battle.
Because even if the ghost's body is cut off, it will be fine. Those present are all upper-rank, and it only takes a moment for them to recover after being cut off. But if Lu Li accidentally sprints and touches these lines, he will be cut off and seriously injured or even die.
Qingfeng first waved his hands and set up a transparent spider web in this space to prevent Lu Li from running around and continuing to chase Wuzan.
As Muzan's subordinate, Qingfeng also wanted to say that Muzan was too cowardly, but as the King of Demons, Muzan had absolute control over them, and he could not say it even if he was unhappy.
Not only that, they must ensure Muzan's survival, because once Muzan dies, all demons will die, even if he is an explorer.
Lu Li responded simply and roughly to the attacks of the two ghosts. He took a deep breath before Douma's ice crystals arrived, and then lightning gushed out like a waterfall, and the heat brought by the electric current dissipated the ice crystals approaching him.
Having read the original novel, he knew that if one accidentally inhaled this kind of ice crystals, one would have difficulty breathing, which would lead to alveolar necrosis, so he had to eliminate this auxiliary mage first.
At the moment when lightning flashed, the ground beneath Lu Li's feet collapsed, and he turned into a ray of light interwoven with pitch-black and purple-gold, and slashed forward to imprison the demon. He first cut off the invisible spider web set up by Qingfeng, and then split the huge ice crystal Buddha into two halves.
At this time, he had already killed in front of Douma, but there was no fear on Douma's face. He still had that fake smile on his face and waved the two iron fans in his hands. Then several ice vines with ice lotus wrapped around them appeared and bound Lu Li.
Blood Demon Art: Lotus Flower.
Even Lu Li had nowhere to hide from such a close-range attack, but he did not dodge. While being restrained, he continued to take a step forward with brute force and slashed at Douma's neck with a knife.
Douma stepped back quickly, but because he misjudged Lu Li's brute strength, he was a step slower and was slashed on the neck by Lu Li.
What made Lu Li frown was that his sword was a little shallow, just like a kaishakunin, the chopped-off Douma's head had not fallen off yet, and there was still a layer of skin connected to the body.
Douma was seen holding his head with both hands, pressing it tightly against his neck, and the wound was slowly closing as he jumped backwards.
Although he was not dead, he was also damaged by the erosion of the Prisoner Demon and the thermal thunder damage of the Top-Level Lei Hu, causing him to lose a lot of strength before he was able to connect his head and body.
Lu Li exerted his muscles and completely shattered the ice vines on his body. At this time, the spider web woven by Qingfeng fell from the top of his head. He swung the Demon Prisoner upwards, and the sword light shattered Qingfeng's invisible silk threads, and he rushed towards Douma again.
"Akoza, what are you doing!?"
When Muzan saw that the battle situation was not favorable, veins on his forehead were exposed and he angrily cursed Akaza. At the same time, he was also reminding Kokushibo who had jumped onto the platform but did not take action.
Akaza, who was watching the show, frowned slightly when he heard this, but he immediately moved. He and Kokushibo were not slow, and even arrived at the upper platform earlier than Douma, but neither of them took action immediately.
He watched the show for two reasons. First, he felt that Lu Li was a very strong warrior. He did not want to win by siege, but wanted to fight the opponent one-on-one. In his opinion, this was a duel of honor.
In his opinion, a group of ghosts beating up one person was too despicable. It was not what a strong person should do.
As for the second reason... it was simply because he disliked Douma, and seeing that Lu Li was about to kill Douma, he was too lazy to save him.
Kokushibo watched the show for a similar reason. He felt that Lu Li was the strongest human being of this era, a person similar to his younger brother. He wanted to fight Lu Li one-on-one. If he defeated Lu Li, it would in a sense fulfill his dream and prove that his path was correct.
Back then, he was willing to turn into a ghost in order to surpass his younger brother. However, when his younger brother was about to die of old age, he was nearly killed by the other party with a single sword. His younger brother just died standing up and became the eternal winner. This made Kokushibo very uncomfortable.
So over the years he has been working hard to become stronger, just to prove that he has surpassed his younger brother. It's a pity that he has never had the opportunity to verify it. After all, he and Muzan are partners, and they are in a superior-subordinate relationship. It is not appropriate to use Muzan as a reference.
Seeing Lu Li burst out with such fighting power today, his heart, which had been calm for many years, became hot again, and he wanted to use Lu Li to test the results of his practice.
But now Boss Muzan was getting anxious and shouting. Although he was very respectful and didn't mention it, he was still showing his dissatisfaction.
Helplessly, Kokushibo could only step forward and prepare to attack.
Akaza was the first to rush behind Lu Li, and shouted in a martial spirit, "Take it!"
As he was shouting, a twelve-cornered snowflake formation appeared on the ground. That was his blood demon technique, the Destruction Killing. Luo Needle.
This blood demon technique can sense the opponent's fighting spirit like a compass, making one's own attacks and avoidance movements as precise as being attracted by a magnet. The stronger the opponent's fighting spirit, the stronger the reaction of the compass, and the higher the corresponding strength and accuracy.
At this time, Akaza could clearly sense Lu Li's movements, and also sensed that he was about to make a move.
He assumed a standard boxing starting stance, and the power of his entire body was transmitted like flowing water, concentrating all the power on his right fist, and then threw a superb punch.
Considering how powerful Lu Li was, he immediately used his most destructive boxing technique, the Destruction Killing Style!
At this time, Lu Li cut Douma in half with another sword. Sensing that Akaza was coming to kill him from behind, Lu Li turned sideways and punched backwards with his left hand, colliding with Akaza's fist.
Amid the roar, there seemed to be an explosion where the two fists collided. The shock wave surged in all directions, causing the silk threads that were about to fall towards Lu Li's head to stop for a moment.
Lu Li turned sideways and clasped his left fist with his right hand, while he chopped down the demon with a knife, beheading Douma who was cut in half.
"Ah? I was beheaded? Am I going to die?"
Douma's head was in the air with a fake smile on his face, he had no fear of death, and he spoke in a calm voice.
In the shock wave of the battle between Lu Li and Akaza, his head was thrown out and fell to the ground. His eyes gradually became dull and he finally lost his life.
Just a few tens of seconds after the battle started, Douma, the Second Upper Moon, was killed by Lu Li. This fact shocked many evil spirits in the Infinite Castle and frightened the explorers even more.
Although there are only a few Upper Ranks participating in the siege of Lu Li at present, the remaining explorers in this world have been summoned to the Infinite Castle by Muzan, including several new Lower Ranks and two new Upper Ranks.
They originally thought that the plan to get Lu Li into Infinite City was like catching a turtle in a jar, but now they seriously suspected that Lu Li had been waiting for the opportunity to enter Infinite City.
High-end hunters often appear as prey, and Lu Li took the initiative to join the game!
"Black Death Mou!"
When Muzan saw Douma being killed so quickly and cleanly, the chill he felt behind him became even greater. He could no longer bear it and shouted Kokushibo's name.
Kokushibo did not reply, but he had responded with his physical actions.
He just flashed and took a step forward, and then he came close to Lu Li. He lowered his body, holding the scabbard in one hand and the handle in the other, as if he was ready to fight.
Six eyes were fixed on Lu Li who had just killed Douma. He didn't want to do something as cheap as a siege, but Muzan was obviously anxious. After all, he was the boss and he had to serve him.
Then as he drew his sword, the moonlight flowed like water, and the huge crescent cut towards Lu Li's middle. In a flash, Lu Li had just killed Douma and had not yet put away his sword. He was still maintaining the posture of fighting with Akaza.
Under the collision of fist force, Akaza only felt that in the roar, a huge force rushed towards him like a tidal wave. That force even engulfed the power he originally exerted, just like a tsunami swallowing up weak waves.
In just a moment, his right arm, which was used in the fist fight with Lu Li, began to break from the fist. The fist bone was completely shattered, and the skin was twisted and broken under the spiral force, turning into pieces of flesh and blood that flew everywhere.
This force continued to transmit upwards until the bones and flesh of his entire arm were destroyed. The remaining force was still not exhausted, and the remaining force was transmitted to his entire body, causing him to fly backwards.
At this time, Kokushibo's sword arrived. Lu Li struggled to turn the Demon Prisoner in his right hand and blocked it in front of his waist in an awkward vertical position.
Because he had to defend in a hurry, and Kokushibo's fighting skills were not much weaker than his, and his attributes were also similar, Lu Li's blade was knocked back, pressed to his waist, and hit his body.
Kokushibo's six eyes were cold and ruthless. In the moment when sparks flew, the knife in his hand disappeared and reappeared again. Under the reflection of the crescent moons, the second knife arrived in an instant.
Breathing of the Moon, Form Three: The Moon of Disgust!
