"Damn it, they're just humans. They're just mere humans. Why?!"
The battle lasted for nearly an hour. During this time, the green-faced ghost used all its skills and put in more effort than when it faced the Ghost Killer Squad. Even so, it still could not cause any substantial damage to Megumi Kato and Yukina. Instead, it seemed to make them stronger?
This was not an illusion. After an hour of battle, Megumi Kato and Yukina had indeed become stronger.
For people who stepped into the realm of transcendence for the first time, after passing the initial stage called the foundation, the speed of improvement would always be the fastest. The best way was, of course, actual combat.
Megumi Kato and Yukina had young bodies and were far more talented than ordinary people. Coupled with the guidance of a famous teacher, even if they had only cultivated for a short time, they had already walked quite far on this path of transcendence. The only thing they lacked was experience and the mentality of a powerhouse.
Then, these things that needed to be accumulated later on were obtained in this battle and further excavated their potential, thus making them stronger. For example, Megumi Kato's Dark Walking Technique could now last for a minute and a half.
Of course, there was also a very important treasure that prompted them to improve — the harvest from the Small Circle World.
For other transcendents, after they obtained the benefits from the world, they could quickly transform it into their own power. However, it was very difficult for newcomers like Megumi Kato and the others. Even with the guidance of an expert, they could only really digest a very small part of it. After all, some things could only be obtained in actual combat.
It was this battle that dug out their undigested power and provided them with an endless source of power, enough to support them to complete this long battle.
However, there was also a limit to this kind of digestion. Many things could not be transformed before their strength reached a certain level. After an hour, even if their spirit was still very strong, their physical strength was gradually declining.
If they continued to fight, there would not be any benefits. Instead, it would cause a certain amount of damage to their bodies.
Kuriyama, who had been watching the two of them, made such a judgment. She felt that this was enough and decided to take over the battle.
However, before she could do anything, the green-faced ghost suddenly rushed out of the battle.
It didn't run away. Instead, it took the initiative to attack Li Shan's future.
Megumi Kato and Yukina's rapid improvement in strength made it more and more difficult for it to fight. Although a ghost wouldn't die, it would still become weaker as its power was depleted. If it couldn't win, then the moment its power was depleted, it would be captured alive. Then, as long as it waited for the sun to rise, it would definitely be turned into ashes under the sunlight.
Although it could still choose to escape, being defeated by two human girls and suffering such humiliation was something that it could not tolerate. In that case, there was only one path left for it … to eat humans and become stronger!
It couldn't do anything to Megumi Kato and Yukina, but Kuriyama had been hiding in the back all this time. It was obvious that Kuriyama was the one being protected. There was nothing more suitable than Kuriyama as food to replenish its power.
Therefore …
"Die!"
The green-faced demon roared and swept past Megumi Kato and Yukina at an extremely fast speed. Its sharp claws tore at Chishan's future body.
With just one strike, this kind of weak human would die without a doubt.
It was supposed to be like this, but the moment the two of them got closer, Kuriyama drew a bloody knife from his palm.
"What?"
The green-faced demon couldn't believe the scene in front of it. Human blood turned into a knife. Even the swordsmen of the Ghost Killer Squad couldn't do this. How could a mere human, no …
"Blood Ghost Technique? Are you a human or a ghost! "
The green-faced demon subconsciously roared. After asking, it realized that it might have made the worst choice. It almost reflexively wanted to retreat.
However, it was too late.
If it chose to escape before Kuriyama could react, it might have a chance of survival. After all, Kuriyama didn't have any long-range attack methods. However, it took the initiative to attack Kuriyama, and its whole body was within the range of Kuriyama.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, the bloody knife slashed across. The green-faced demon's face cracked, and it was cut in half in mid-air.
"Ahhhhh …" The green-faced demon's broken mouth wailed in pain. At this time, the pain it felt was far more than being cut by the Kusanagi Sword. Even its ghost power was being lost. It couldn't wait to reassemble its body, but it suddenly realized that it couldn't control this body anymore. The wound that was cut by the bloody knife seemed to be burning, emitting thick black smoke as if it was being shone by the sun.
"So painful … so painful … so painful …"
The two halves of the green-faced demon's body were in so much pain that it rolled on the ground, and even tears flowed out.
Kuriyama, who was about to stab it again, was stunned when he saw this scene. He then looked at the blood flowing out of his palm and said, "So that's how it is. Is it my blood?"
Kuriyama was not an ordinary person. Even among the otherworldly beings, she was the most special. As a cursed race, her blood was extremely poisonous, comparable to strong acid, and it had a strong corrosive effect on life and inorganic matter.
The ghosts in the Demon Destroyer world were not ghosts or spirits in the ordinary sense. They were more like mutated creatures. They had life and needed flesh, and what supported all of this was their mutated blood. When their bodies came into contact with Kuriyama's blood … different curses intertwined and corroded each other.
Blood Curse!
If the green-faced demon had the strength of the Twelve Ghost Moons, it might have a way to get rid of this curse. However, it wasn't that strong, and it had used up most of its power in the previous battle, so it couldn't resist at all. In the blink of an eye, its body was riddled with thousands of holes.
Kato Megumi and Yukina instinctively averted their gazes. It was not that they could not bear to see it. During the battle just now, the green-faced ghost was full of filthy words. Not only did it humiliate them, but it also dazzled them by saying how many people it had eaten. It also said how miserable and miserable those people were when it ate them. It was hard to describe how much sin it had committed.
Even they couldn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy and pity for such an ugly and evil existence. Now that it had ended up like this, it deserved its retribution.
If they repaid evil with good, how would they repay good?
Therefore, when they heard the green-faced demon's wails, they even felt a sense of satisfaction. However … the body was corroded by the blood, and it looked really disgusting. If they continued to look, they would probably vomit out the bitterness in their stomachs.
"It's dead." After a moment, Kuriyama's voice sounded.
"Dead?" The two immediately turned their heads, but they still didn't look at the body on the ground.
"Mhmm." Kuriyama nodded lightly. Not only did he stare at it, but he even took a branch and squatted down to pull out the green-faced demon's body. He said, "I can't feel any signs of life at all. It is indeed dead. However, I think, besides the blood, there should be a second soul factor. The power of the blood has become stronger."
"It's fine no matter what, you should leave it quickly." Yukina urged.
"Oh." Kuriyama responded. After confirming that the green-faced demon wouldn't come back to life, he casually threw the branch away and walked towards the two.
Both Kato Megumi and Yukina were overjoyed. Even though the ghost's head was stolen by Kuriyama Miyamoto, it also meant that Kuriyama Miyamoto could deal fatal damage to the ghost. In that case, they wouldn't have to bother looking for the Chinese Wisteria or the Solar Wheel Blade anymore.
Sure enough, a famous saying was a famous saying.
Magic could only be defeated by magic, and blood curses could also be broken by blood curses.
"Let's continue our journey and recover our strength on the way."
"Mhmm."
"By the way, you guys fought well just now, but the gap in the battle is still relatively large. If the demon's strength was a little stronger, you guys might have been injured."
"If that's the case, how should we improve?"
"I don't know much about ninjutsu …"
"Let me do it …"
The three of them walked on the road, and as they moved forward, they reviewed the battle just now. Then Orochimaru also joined in to help correct some mistakes during the battle.
…
Not long after Megumi Kato and the other two left, a few warriors with swords arrived in a hurry.
"It's here. Can you feel it?"
"Mhmm, there is indeed a demon's aura."
"Be careful, that demon is very strong. It has eaten a lot of people, including our Ghost Killer Team's warriors. Three people are missing here."
"That's why they sent us to carry out the mission."
"Hey, wait."
"What's wrong?"
"Look over there, is that a demon?"
"This …"
There were a total of four people in this Ghost Killer Team. Originally, they were arranged by their superiors to eliminate the demons hiding in this town. But now, they only saw the demon's corpse split in half.
"Someone acted before us."
"Is the demon already dead?"
"Yes, but the corpse didn't disappear. Strange."
"Could it be that it was killed by Lord Worm Pillar?"
"Impossible, if Lord Worm Pillar took over this mission, there was no need to send us here, and … its corpse was corroded like this, it doesn't look like it was done by Lord Worm Pillar. It's really strange."
"Anyway, let's report it to our superiors."
"Mhmm …"
…
The demon that Li Shan killed in the future didn't cause too much of a stir in the Ghost Killer Team, but it was a different matter for Ghost Dancer Mei Wuai.
He was the Gui Zu. Almost all the demons that were mutated by him were under his control, including death.
When the Green-faced Ghost was killed, the death information that was completely different from before made him instinctively have an ominous premonition. As time passed, this uneasiness began to become stronger and more obvious.
Like the will of the heavens, he seemed to be able to see some scenes from the future.
Three days later, he finally couldn't sit still anymore and gave an order to the demon that was far away.
"Crescent Moon, listen up, immediately head to the Infinite Train and kill the human who used the Blood Blade … at all costs!"
