Jifu Taro rolled on the ground repeatedly, then thrust his scythe into the ground to forcibly stabilize himself. He then hurled the scythe at Bai Ye.
The scythe spun towards Bai Ye, but at the moment it was about to hit...
Bai Ye reached out and pointed forward.
Telekinesis activated again, and the spinning scythe hovered in mid-air.
Bai Ye casually flicked his finger, and the scythe flew to the side. Immediately after, the Thunder Fang Rage Beast in Bai Ye's hand slanted forward.
Zzzt!
The sound of surging electricity rang out, and then...
With a thud, accompanied by a flash of electricity, a wound appeared on Jifu Taro's shoulder, his entire arm severed.
However, severing an arm was not a major issue for a demon.
On Jifu Taro's shoulder, flesh and blood wriggled bizarrely, and soon, a new arm grew out.
Jifu Taro flexed his arm and looked at Bai Ye, "You're not human, are you?"
Bai Ye shrugged, "I'm definitely not a demon."
Jifu Taro said, "Humans can't be cut by a blade and be completely unharmed."
Bai Ye replied, "Who knows?"
As Bai Ye spoke, he swept his sword forward again. The electricity coiled around the Thunder Fang Rage Beast transformed into an electric blade, slashing forward.
Jifu Taro leaped rapidly, evading the incoming electric blade.
With a deafening roar!
The houses behind were instantly cleaved by Bai Ye. Fortunately, the residents in this area had already fled, and there was no one left in the 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 inwards, causing the scythe to slice into Jifu Taro's body as it swung.
The next moment, a large amount of crimson blood splashed out, scattering forward.
The blood transformed into thin blades, attacking towards Bai Ye.
And then...
Bai Ye touched his cheek.
There was blood!
The blood-blades formed by Jifu Taro could attack Bai Ye's body even after he had elementalized with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
However...
Bai Ye abruptly raised his arm, using it to block his face.
Clang, clang, clang!
The remaining blood-blades continuously struck the Aries Cloth, producing crisp clashing sounds.
The blood could not break through the Aries Cloth!
After blocking the attack, electricity surged from Bai Ye again. He flickered and appeared in front of Jifu Taro.
The Thunder Fang Rage Beast was raised high, electricity coiling around its blade, emitting piercing sounds.
The next moment, the sword fell!
Jifu Taro quickly crossed his twin scythes, colliding with the Thunder Fang Rage Beast.
The sound of clashing weapons rang out.
But just as Jifu Taro thought he had blocked the strike...
Bai Ye reached out to the side, and the Steel Slime wriggled, rapidly transforming into the Shadow Battle Axe in Bai Ye's hand.
Thwack!
Bai Ye swung the Shadow Battle Axe from the side, accurately hitting Jifu Taro's neck.
And then...
With a muffled sound of flesh tearing, Jifu Taro's head flew off, tumbling through the air as a large amount of blood splattered around.
It was over!
Although Jifu Taro was much stronger than Daki, he was only of Upper Rank Six strength.
In Bai Ye's eyes, it was merely a formality.
However, the moment Bai Ye turned...
Bai Ye suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly looked back and saw a large amount of blood spraying wildly in all directions.
The blood resembled enormous blood-red scythes, slashing wildly outwards.
Anything that came into contact with the blood was instantly sliced to pieces.
Zzzt!
Electricity surged from Bai Ye, and he transformed into a flash of lightning, reappearing on a rooftop dozens of meters away.
And in front of Bai Ye...
A large expanse of blood light bloomed. The blood scythes erupted in an instant, each one seven to eight meters long, sweeping outwards.
And then...
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Amidst the thunderous roars, several houses collapsed simultaneously, turning into vast ruins in an instant.
"Don't go, it's not over yet!"
Jifu Taro's voice suddenly echoed, and he slowly walked to the top of the ruins.
Bai Ye froze, then looked up, seeing Jifu Taro pressing his head back onto his neck.
What was going on?
Bai Ye was stunned.
Demons, like zombies, could only be killed by decapitation or by blowing off their heads.
But he picked up his head and reattached it?
And the moment Bai Ye was stunned...
Jifu Taro leaped forward again.
"Blood Demon Art, Arching Leap!"
Jifu Taro leaped in front of Bai Ye and sliced himself open again.
A large amount of blood spurted out, and Jifu Taro quickly swung his scythe. In an instant, the blood, guided by the scythe, swirled around Jifu Taro's body, forming a large, hollow sphere.
Clang, clang, clang!
Jifu Taro closed in on Bai Ye for close combat.
The blood swirling around Jifu Taro's body continuously slashed at Bai Ye. When it landed on the Aries Cloth, the sound of slashing echoed.
Bai Ye remained unaffected. Finally, when the blood dispersed...
Thwack!
Bai Ye fiercely swung his sword.
The Thunder Fang Rage Beast traced an arc of electricity in the air, striking Jifu Taro's neck. Immediately after, Jifu Taro's head flew off again, tumbling into the sky.
Jifu Taro stumbled back several steps, stiffening, and then...
Suddenly, Jifu Taro raised his hand, catching his falling head.
Simultaneously, with the decapitation, a large amount of blood gushed from the wound in Jifu Taro's neck, transforming into countless terrifying blood scythes that swept outwards.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The surrounding houses were once again devastated. 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.
Jifu Taro stood there, pressing his head back onto his neck.
"It's useless, no matter how many times you try, it's all the same!"
The wound on Jifu Taro's neck healed, and his head reattached itself.
Bai Ye frowned. With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Aries Cloth, his current strength was an absolute crush against Jifu Taro.
Bai Ye could easily sever Jifu Taro's head.
But severing his head was useless!
This was clearly the demon's weakness, and the method to kill demons, yet...
It was completely ineffective!
