<Chapter 86> The Great Absolute Demon (5)
The Great Absolute Demon (5)
The thunderous impact sends the bloodthirsty demon's body reeling backward.
The bloodthirsty demon struggles to regain his balance and swings his sword.
The sword, imbued with my energy, slashes wildly in all directions, but the one it should hit nimbly dodges.
A brief step back, then a leap.
The bloodthirsty demon's sword continuously slices through the air.
Born with immense strength and the body of a peak-level martial artist, his strikes are never slow.
But they only slice through the air.
A fist plunges deep into the bloodthirsty demon's abdomen once again.
Despite his solid muscles, a flame erupts from the deeply embedded fist.
In pain beyond imagination, the bloodthirsty demon frantically swings his hand to push away.
But it was already too late.
The bloodthirsty demon gasps for breath.
He clutches his abdomen, clearly feeling the pain.
“I heard you're Gua. Why are you interfering?”
The demon asks, but I give no answer.
I activate the Nine Flame Wheel Technique, spewing flames in all directions.
The demon swings his massive sword to block, but he can't block everything.
The flames, determined to leave not even a trace, surge madly.
I take advantage of the openings they create and plunge in.
Surrounded by the flames, I reach out and grab the bloodthirsty demon's neck.
I wrap my hand in flames.
I intended to burn his hair.
At that moment, the bloodthirsty demon releases a burst of energy, creating distance.
The heat rising up his neck causes him to clutch it with his hand.
Smoke rises from his body, having been in the flames for a while.
Shin Noya's urgent voice repeats in my head.
[How can you be calm when you can feel the boiling rage inside you so clearly!]
It's a strange statement.
I just felt a sense of regret.
The sensation of the demon's neck in my hand lingers.
I should have burned him.
The demon seems to have more than I thought.
The name of the man holding the massive sword and looking this way.
The leader of the Heavenly Demon's direct subordinate unit, the Black Wolf Brigade.
A man with a mouth gag and one eye covered by a patch.
He used to be a man who followed the leader's orders like a zombie.
He seems very different now.
‘Was he from the Black Night Palace?’
Given his extensive past, I never paid much attention.
I was too busy with my own survival to care about others.
Checking the spot where she was lying, I was relieved to see she had moved and was no longer visible.
When I first arrived, Nangong Bia was lying on the ground.
Seeing her, I was reminded of the final moments of the Demon Sword's aftermath.
The moment she quietly passed away in my arms.
If I had been a little late, I might have seen the same scene.
My emotions must be affecting me, as the flames around my body flicker intensely.
I take a step toward the demon.
Immediately, the Nine Flame Wheel Technique begins to rotate rapidly.
I push off with my feet and leap.
The bloodthirsty demon's sword, as if trying to counter, swings quickly.
His innate strength and peak-level body allow him to wield such a heavy weapon with speed.
Enhancing my speed with the energy infused in my body.
Blocking the demon's vision with flames.
The bloodthirsty demon's massive sword, as if it can't be blocked by mere flames, slashes around.
But the chaotic sword path leaves many openings.
If there are none, I can create them.
It seems to have grazed me lightly.
I can afford to give that much.
His solid body makes it difficult to pull out my arm or break any bones, so I focus on one spot.
The demon's sword grazes my collar.
With my side exposed, I wrap my hand in flames and strike.
The bloodthirsty demon's stance wavers.
I stomp on his leg joint, causing him to collapse.
Thud! One knee hits the ground.
He tries to push me away with his arm, but my fist is faster.
His thick head is forcefully turned.
Without stopping, I strike again.
Perhaps from the consecutive blows, the bloodthirsty demon's eyes turn bloodshot.
Energy gathers in his body as he tries to create distance.
His body is pushed back by the energy released from his body.
It seems he only did this to create distance, as there is no impact.
He shakes off the effects and faces me again.
‘...How much time is left?’
Noya doesn't say anything.
My energy, having been wildly circulated, seems to be running low.
The bloodthirsty demon rises, spitting something from his mouth.
It's his molar, rolling on the ground with blood.
Seeing this, the bloodthirsty demon's face contorts like a demon's.
To be beaten by a mere brat in such a situation.
The Great Absolute Demon, indeed.
‘...What a fucking mess...!’
The sound of his teeth grinding is clearly heard.
He grips the hilt of his sword tightly.
Yet, I want to kill this demon.
Now, it's not about the gods or the Nangong family.
The bloodthirsty demon wraps his feet in energy and leaps at me.
I surround myself with flames again.
A sudden, intense pain is felt in my dantian, but I ignore it.
I need to focus on breaking something.
I deflect the sword aimed at my head with flames.
Taking advantage of his disarray, I strike his chest.
I can feel bones breaking as I plunge in deep.
The bloodthirsty demon spits out blood.
He tries to grab me with his massive hand, but I strike again and push him away.
The rotation of the rings surrounding me speeds up.
Simultaneously, the pain in my dantian intensifies.
The pain spreading from my dantian to my entire body is the same feeling I had on the way to Huashan.
At that time, I couldn't even breathe and fainted, but now I can move well.
I don't know, but I feel fortunate.
It means I can still move.
A voice in my head makes my eyes slightly open.
I thought it was Shin Noya's voice, which I hadn't heard.
In this situation, only Shin Noya could speak to me.
But it wasn't Noya's voice.
It sounded like a child's, yet also like an old man's.
The intense pain from my dantian to the top of my head disappears with the voice.
I wanted to ask who it was, but couldn't.
My consciousness suddenly breaks.
Nangong Bia is leaning against a tree trunk, gasping for breath.
Partly due to the acupoints being unblocked, and partly due to the broken arm and the energy used to lift her, she has no strength left in her body.
‘...I need to go help...’
I've seen him easily defeat my brother and a sword expert, whether it was Yingfeng or Yongfeng.
He is likely stronger than me.
Nangong Bia is not just guessing; she is certain.
This is a different matter.
The stench and the energy emanating from the giant I faced are not something I can handle easily.
We need to wait for Huashan to send reinforcements.
The intense battle continues, and the deafening sounds don't stop.
Though not a long time, it feels like an eternity to Nangong Bia.
Struggling to stand, she reaches the source of the noise.
The intense stench makes Nangong Bia
