Jifu Taro tumbled on the ground, then plunged his scythe into the earth, forcefully steadying himself. He then hurled the scythe towards Bai Ye.
The scythe spun towards Bai Ye, but at the moment of impact…
Bai Ye reached out and pointed forward.
Telekinesis activated again, and the spinning scythe hung suspended in mid-air.
Bai Ye casually flicked his finger, sending the scythe flying to the side. Immediately, Bai Ye tilted his Thunderfang Fury Beast forward.
*Zzzzzzt!*
The sound of surging electricity filled the air, followed by…
*Thwack!* Accompanied by a flash of electricity, a wound appeared on Jifu Taro’s shoulder, his entire arm severed.
However, losing an arm was clearly not a significant issue for a demon.
On Jifu Taro’s shoulder, flesh and blood writhed strangely, and soon, a new arm regrew.
Jifu Taro flexed his arm and looked at Bai Ye, saying, "You're not human, are you?"
Bai Ye shrugged, "I'm definitely not a demon."
Jifu Taro stated, "A human wouldn't be hit by a blade and remain unharmed."
Bai Ye replied, "Who knows?"
As Bai Ye spoke, he swept his sword forward again. The electricity wrapped around Thunderfang Fury Beast transformed into an electric blade, slashing forward.
Jifu Taro leaped rapidly, evading the incoming electric blade.
*Boom!*
The house behind them was instantly cleaved open by Bai Ye. Fortunately, the inhabitants of this area had already fled, and no one was inside those houses.
Meanwhile, Jifu Taro swung his scythe in the air.
"Blood Demon Art, Flying Blood Scythe!"
Jifu Taro swung his scythe forward. Strangely, the blade retracted inward, causing it to cut into Jifu Taro’s own body as he swung.
The next instant, a large amount of crimson blood sprayed out, splattering forward.
The blood transformed into thin blades, hurtling towards Bai Ye.
Then…
Bai Ye touched his cheek.
Blood!
Jifu Taro’s blood blades could strike Bai Ye’s body, which had elementalized from the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
But…
Bai Ye suddenly raised his arm to shield his face.
*Clang, clang, clang!*
The remaining blood blades struck the Aries Cloth, emitting clear ringing sounds.
The blood could not break through the Aries Cloth!
After blocking the attack, electricity surged around Bai Ye again. He then flashed forward, appearing before Jifu Taro.
Thunderfang Fury Beast was raised high, electricity coiling around the blade, emitting a piercing hum.
The next moment, hand rose and sword fell!
Jifu Taro hastily crossed his twin scythes, colliding with Thunderfang Fury Beast.
The sound of clashing weapons echoed.
But just as Jifu Taro thought he had blocked the strike…
Bai Ye reached out to the side, and the Steel Slime wriggled, quickly transforming into the Shadow War Axe in his hand.
*Squelch!*
Bai Ye swung the Shadow War Axe from the side, accurately hitting Jifu Taro’s neck.
Then…
Amidst the muffled sound of flesh tearing, Jifu Taro’s head flew off, tumbling through the air as a large amount of blood scattered around.
It was over!
Although Jifu Taro was far stronger than Daki, he was merely at the normal strength of an Upper Rank Six demon.
In Bai Ye’s eyes, it was just a formality.
However, the moment Bai Ye turned…
Bai Ye suddenly sensed something was wrong. He quickly looked back and saw a vast amount of blood spraying wildly in all directions.
The blood was like massive blood-red scythes, slashing madly outwards.
Anything that came into contact with the blood was instantly minced into pieces.
*Zzzzzzt!*
Electricity surged around Bai Ye, and he transformed into a lightning flash, reappearing on a rooftop dozens of meters away.
And in front of Bai Ye…
A large expanse of blood-red light erupted. The blood scythes burst forth in an instant, each seven or eight meters long, sweeping outwards.
Then…
*Rumble, rumble, rumble!*
Amidst the roars, several houses collapsed simultaneously, turning into a vast expanse of rubble in an instant.
"Don't go, it's not over yet!"
Jifu Taro's voice suddenly rang out, and he slowly walked to the top of the rubble.
Bai Ye froze, then looked up, only to see Jifu Taro pressing his head back onto his neck.
What’s going on?
Bai Ye was taken aback.
Demons, like zombies, were killed by decapitation or by blowing off their heads.
But this guy just picked up his head and reattached it?
And the moment Bai Ye was stunned…
Jifu Taro leaped forward again.
"Blood Demon Art, Arrogant Leap!"
Jifu Taro leaped to Bai Ye’s front and cut himself open again.
A large amount of blood gushed out, and Jifu Taro quickly swung his scythe. Almost instantly, the blood, guided by the scythe, wrapped around Jifu Taro’s body, forming a large hollow sphere.
*Clang, clang, clang!*
Jifu Taro closed in for close combat with Bai Ye.
The blood swirling around Jifu Taro’s body continuously struck Bai Ye. When it landed on the Aries Cloth, the sounds of slicing echoed repeatedly.
Bai Ye remained unaffected. Once the blood dissipated…
*Thwack!*
Bai Ye swung his sword fiercely.
Thunderfang Fury Beast traced an arc of electricity in the air, striking Jifu Taro’s neck. Jifu Taro’s head once again flew into the sky, tumbling.
Jifu Taro stumbled back several steps, his body stiffening. Then…
Suddenly, Jifu Taro raised his hand, catching his falling head.
Simultaneously, as his head was severed, a large amount of blood sprayed from the wound on Jifu Taro’s neck, transforming into countless terrifying blood scythes that swept outwards.
*Rumble, rumble, rumble!*
The surrounding houses were once again affected. The moment the blood scythes swept past, entire houses were split open and began to collapse.
In the blink of an eye, everything around them had once again become rubble.
Jifu Taro stood there, pressing his head back onto his neck.
"It's useless, no matter how many times you try, it'll be the same!"
On Jifu Taro’s neck, the wound healed, and his head reattached itself.
Bai Ye frowned. With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Aries Cloth, his current strength was an absolute crushing advantage against Jifu Taro.
Bai Ye could easily decapitate Jifu Taro.
But, decapitation was useless!
This was supposed to be a demon’s weakness, the method to kill them, yet…
It was completely ineffective!
