Gyutaro rolled on the ground, then thrust his scythe into the earth, forcefully steadying himself. He then hurled the scythe at Byakuya.
The scythe spun towards Byakuya, but at the moment of impact…
Byakuya reached out and pointed forward.
Psychokinesis activated again, and the spinning scythe froze in mid-air.
Byakuya casually flicked his finger, sending the scythe flying to the side. Immediately, the Raijin Beast in Byakuya’s hand tilted forward.
*Zzzzzzt!*
The sound of surging electricity echoed, and then…
With a *thump*, accompanied by the crackle of electricity, a wound appeared on Gyutaro’s shoulder, his entire arm severed.
However, losing an arm was not a significant issue for a demon.
On Gyutaro’s shoulder, flesh and blood writhed strangely, and soon, a new arm grew out.
Gyutaro flexed his arm and looked at Byakuya, asking, "You're not human, are you?"
Byakuya shrugged, "I'm not a demon, that's for sure."
Gyutaro said, "Humans can't be cut by a blade and remain unharmed."
Byakuya replied, "Who knows?"
As Byakuya spoke, he swept his sword forward again. The electricity wrapped around the Raijin Beast transformed into an electric blade, slashing forward.
Gyutaro leaped up swiftly, dodging the incoming electric blade.
With a *boom!*
The houses behind were instantly cleaved by Byakuya. Fortunately, the people in this area had already fled, and no one was inside the houses.
Meanwhile, Gyutaro swung his scythe in the air.
"Blood Demon Art: Flying Blood Scythe!"
Gyutaro swung his scythe forward. Strangely, the blade retracted inward. As he swung, the blade sliced into Gyutaro’s own body.
The next instant, a large amount of crimson blood splattered forward.
The blood transformed into thin blades, rushing towards Byakuya.
Then…
Byakuya touched his cheek.
There was blood!
The blood blades created by Gyutaro could attack Byakuya’s body, which had transformed into the element of thunder.
However…
Byakuya raised his arm sharply, blocking his face.
*Clang, clang, clang!*
The remaining blood blades continuously struck the Aries Cloth, emitting clear ringing sounds.
The blood could not penetrate the Aries Cloth!
After blocking the attack, electricity surged through Byakuya again. With a flash, Byakuya appeared before Gyutaro.
The Raijin Beast was raised high, electricity coiling around the blade, emitting a piercing sound.
The next moment, the sword descended!
Gyutaro quickly crossed his twin scythes, colliding with the Raijin Beast.
The sound of clashing weapons rang out.
But just as Gyutaro thought he had blocked the attack…
Byakuya reached out to the side, and the Steel Slime writhed, quickly transforming into the Shadow Battle Axe in his hand.
*Thwack!*
Byakuya swung the Shadow Battle Axe from the side, accurately striking Gyutaro’s neck.
Then…
With the muffled sound of flesh tearing, Gyutaro’s head flew off, tumbling through the air as a large amount of blood scattered around.
It was over!
Although Gyutaro was much stronger than Daki, he was only at the strength of a normal Upper Rank Six.
In Byakuya’s eyes, it was merely a formality.
But, the moment Byakuya turned away…
Byakuya suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly looked back and saw a large amount of blood spraying wildly in all directions.
The blood was like massive blood-red scythes, slashing madly around.
Anything that was touched by the blood was instantly cut to shreds.
*Zzzzzzt!*
Electricity surged through Byakuya, and he transformed into lightning, reappearing on a rooftop dozens of meters away.
And in front of Byakuya…
A vast expanse of blood light erupted. The blood scythes burst forth in an instant, each seven to eight meters long, sweeping outwards.
Then…
*Rumble, rumble, rumble!*
Amidst the roaring, several houses collapsed simultaneously, turning into a vast expanse of ruins in an instant.
"Don't go, it's not over yet!"
Gyutaro’s voice suddenly rang out, and he slowly walked onto the top of the ruins.
Byakuya blinked in surprise, looking up to see Gyutaro pressing his head back onto his neck.
What was going on?
Byakuya was astonished.
For demons, like zombies, the way to kill them was to decapitate them or blow their heads off.
But this guy picked up his head and reattached it?
And the moment Byakuya was stunned…
Gyutaro leaped forward again.
"Blood Demon Art: Arcing Leap!"
Gyutaro leaped in front of Byakuya and sliced himself open again.
A large amount of blood splattered out, and Gyutaro quickly swung his scythes. In an instant, the blood, guided by the scythes, wrapped around Gyutaro’s body, forming a large, hollow sphere.
*Clang, clang, clang!*
Gyutaro approached Byakuya for close combat.
The blood swirling around Gyutaro’s body continuously struck Byakuya. As it landed on the Aries Cloth, it emitted a constant sound of impact.
Byakuya remained unfazed. He waited until the blood dispersed.
*Thwack!*
Byakuya swung his sword fiercely.
The Raijin Beast left an arc of electricity in the air, striking Gyutaro’s neck. Gyutaro’s head then flew into the sky again.
Gyutaro retreated several steps, his body stiffening. Then…
Suddenly, Gyutaro raised his hand, catching his falling head.
At the same time, as his head was severed, a large amount of blood gushed from the wound in Gyutaro’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, the entire house was cleaved open and began to collapse.
In the blink of an eye, everything around them had once again turned into ruins.
Gyutaro stood there, pressing his head back onto his neck.
"It's useless, no matter how many times you do it, it will be the same!"
The wound on Gyutaro’s neck healed slowly, and his head grew back.
Byakuya also frowned. With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Aries Cloth, his current strength was an absolute crushing blow to Gyutaro.
Byakuya could easily sever Gyutaro’s head.
But severing his head was useless!
This was supposed to be a demon’s weakness, the method to kill them, yet…
It was simply useless!
