Jifu Taro rolled on the ground repeatedly, then thrust his scythe into the earth, forcibly stabilizing himself. He then threw the scythe towards Bai Ye.
The scythe spun towards Bai Ye, but at the moment it was about to hit...
Bai Ye reached out and pointed forward.
Psychokinesis activated again, and then, the spinning scythe hovered in mid-air.
Bai Ye casually flicked his finger, and the scythe flew off to the side. Immediately after, the Thunder Fang Raging Beast in Bai Ye's hand slanted forward.
*Zzzt!*
A crackling sound of electricity surged, and then...
With a *thump*, accompanied by the rush of electricity, a wound appeared on Jifu Taro's shoulder, and his entire arm was severed.
However, severing an arm was clearly not a big deal for a demon.
On Jifu Taro's shoulder, the flesh and blood wriggled strangely, and soon, a new arm grew out.
Jifu Taro flexed his arm and looked at Bai Ye, saying, "You're not human, are you?"
Bai Ye shrugged, "Well, I'm 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 entwined around the Thunder Fang Raging Beast transformed into an electric blade, slashing forward.
Jifu Taro leaped rapidly, dodging the incoming electric blade.
*Boom!*
The houses behind were instantly cleaved by Bai Ye's attack. Fortunately, the inhabitants of this area had already fled, and there was no one left inside the houses.
Meanwhile, Jifu Taro swung his scythe in the air.
"Blood Demon Art, Flying Blood Scythe!"
Jifu Taro waved his scythe forward. Strangely, the blade seemed to retract inward. In doing so, as he swung the blade, it sliced into Jifu Taro's own body.
In the next instant, a large amount of crimson blood splattered out, spraying forward.
The blood transformed into thin blades, rushing towards Bai Ye.
Then...
Bai Ye touched his cheek.
There was blood!
The blood blades formed by Jifu Taro could attack Bai Ye's elementalized body from the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
However...
Bai Ye suddenly raised his arm, blocking his face.
*Clang, clang, clang!*
The remaining blood blades continuously struck the Aries Cloth, making crisp ringing sounds.
The blood could not break through the Aries Cloth!
After blocking the attack, electricity surged around Bai Ye again, and his figure flickered. He appeared in front of Jifu Taro.
The Thunder Fang Raging Beast was raised high, electricity coiling around the blade, emitting a piercing shriek.
In the next moment, hand moved, sword fell!
Jifu Taro quickly crossed his dual scythes, colliding with the Thunder Fang Raging Beast.
The sound of weapons clashing echoed.
But the moment Jifu Taro thought he had blocked the attack...
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.
Then...
With a muffled thud of tearing flesh, Jifu Taro's head flew off, tumbling through the air, and a large amount of blood scattered around.
It was over!
Although Jifu Taro was much stronger than Daki, he was only at the normal strength of an Upper Rank Six.
In Bai Ye's eyes, it was merely a formality.
But the moment Bai Ye turned away...
Bai Ye suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly looked back and saw a vast expanse of blood spraying wildly in all directions.
The blood was like huge blood-colored scythes, slashing madly around.
Anything that came into contact with the blood was instantly shredded to pieces.
*Zzzt!*
Electricity surged around Bai Ye, and he transformed into a streak of lightning, reappearing on the roof 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 in all directions.
Then...
*Boom, boom, boom!*
Amidst the rumbling, several houses collapsed simultaneously. In a single moment, a vast area of ruins was formed.
"Don't go, it's not over yet!"
Jifu Taro's voice suddenly rang out, and he slowly walked to the top of the ruins.
Bai Ye paused, looked up, and saw Jifu Taro pressing his head back onto his neck.
What was going on?
Bai Ye was taken aback.
Demons, like zombies, could only be killed by decapitation or blowing off their heads.
Yet, he 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 sliced himself open again.
A large amount of blood gushed out, and Jifu Taro quickly swung his scythes. In almost an instant, the blood, guided by the scythes, wrapped around Jifu Taro's body, forming a large, hollow sphere.
*Clang, clang, clang!*
Jifu Taro approached Bai Ye for close combat.
The blood circling Jifu Taro's body continuously struck Bai Ye. When it landed on the Aries Cloth, the sounds of slashing echoed.
Bai Ye remained unmoved. When the blood finally dispersed...
*Thwack!*
Bai Ye swung his sword fiercely.
The Thunder Fang Raging Beast left an arc of electricity in the air, striking Jifu Taro's neck. Then, Jifu Taro's head once again flew through the air.
Jifu Taro retreated several steps, his body stiffening, and then...
Suddenly, Jifu Taro raised his hand, caught his falling head, and received it.
At the same time, with the decapitation, a large amount of blood spurted from the wound on Jifu Taro's neck, transforming into countless terrifying blood scythes that swept outwards.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
The surrounding houses were once again devastated. The moment the blood scythes swept past, the entire houses were split open and began to collapse.
In the blink of an eye, everything around became ruins again.
Jifu Taro stood there, pressing his head back onto his neck.
"It's useless, no matter how many times you try, it will be the same!"
On Jifu Taro's neck, the wound healed slowly, and his head reattached itself.
Bai Ye also 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 sever Jifu Taro's head.
But severing the head was useless!
This was clearly the demon's weakness and the method to kill them, but...
It was just useless!
