The earth shattered beneath his feet.
"Spell activation!"
Akaza adopted the starting stance of the Su-ryu style.
The feet are in a horse stance, the front hand is outstretched with a palm, and the back hand is clenched into a fist and tucked under the ribs, assuming a posture of drawing in power.
"Destruction Kill - Compass Needle!"
The surging blood energy, symbolizing the Blood Demon Art, spreads out from Akaza's feet, forming a twelve-pointed snowflake pattern. Each snowflake branch has the number 1.4, arranged from Ichi to Shini.
This is Akaza's core ability in Blood Demon Art.
Akaza is born with a keen sense of the fighting spirit of others.
After unleashing the spell, he can use this ability to sense his opponent's fighting spirit like a compass.
It makes one's attack and evasion movements as precise as a magnet. The stronger the opponent's fighting spirit, the stronger the compass's reaction, and the higher the corresponding strength and accuracy.
However, to his perception, Xia Yan was as if he did not exist, and the magic targeting him did not react at all.
Akaza's brows furrowed slightly.
Is this truly the highest realm...?
But then the fighting spirit in his eyes surged like a raging fire.
"Isn't this perfect! I'll kill you!!!"
Chapter 87 The Administrator Extends Another Invitation to You
Akaza roared, his figure turning into a blur as he instantly appeared in front of Xia Yan, delivering a powerful punch to his chest.
laugh--
A sharp popping sound rang out in the air.
With his terrifying power, even a simple punch has unparalleled power.
If you were hit by that punch, your body would probably be pierced through instantly.
But how could such a straightforward attack possibly reach Xia Yan?
The next second, blood splattered everywhere.
A severed arm with striped tattoos fell to the ground; it was the arm Akaza had used to launch the attack.
"It's useless! Your attack is completely ineffective against ghosts!"
Despite having his arm severed, Akaza seemed completely unconcerned, not even glancing at it, and launched an attack with his other hand.
At the same time, the arm that had just been severed regenerated in an instant.
One was fast at chopping, the other was fast at growing; for a time, they were locked in a stalemate, neither giving an inch.
Seeing this, Tamayo, who was watching from the sidelines, covered her mouth in surprise.
"Mr. Xia Yan... is he really that strong...?"
At this moment, in her eyes, although the two combatants did not move from their feet, there seemed to be a barrier formed by the attack around them.
The two barriers collided and crushed each other continuously, resulting in a stalemate. However, if any outsider were to intervene, they would likely be crushed into pieces by the aftershocks of the attack in an instant.
Looking at Akaza's pure regeneration style, treating everything except his neck as a consumable item, Natsuhiko shook his head.
"Let's end the game here. That's why you'll never reach the threshold of the highest realm!"
The next second, he suddenly increased the speed of his sword swings.
The sword in his hand blurred into a blur, severing Akaza's arms in the process, and before Akaza could regenerate, he slashed straight at his neck.
"What!?"
Faced with Xia Yan's sudden attack, Akaza, who usually relies on the compass to sense battle aura and is used to automatic dodging, was unable to dodge in time.
However, he was a veteran of countless battles. In desperation, he stomped his legs on the ground, causing the demon to rise a height in mid-air. This caused the Nichirin Blade, which was supposed to sever his neck, to deviate from its attack position and instead cut him in half at the waist.
Driven by inertia, Akaza's upper body continued to fly towards the sky, and at the same time, his severed arm regenerated.
"Destruction Kill·Sky Style!"
Akaza, suspended in mid-air, clenched his fists and threw more than a dozen punches toward Natsuhiko's location at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Countless wisps of transparent air, under the influence of the Blood Demon Art, seemed to gain half-solidity, transforming into cannonballs that hurtled towards Xia Yan.
Although it was an invisible attack, it still couldn't escape the Byakugan's powerful perception.
Xia Yan simply tilted his head slightly and easily dodged Akaza's attack.
However, Akaza's attack interrupted his best opportunity to pursue, allowing him to successfully regenerate his lower body.
"What! What did you just say!?"
After landing safely, Akaza did not attack Natsuhiko again. Instead, forgetting all about his memory, he asked him a question.
"Just now? I didn't say anything just now!"
"asshole!"
Seeing Xia Yan's mocking smile, Akaza realized he had been tricked again and charged at him once more.
Having experienced the danger just now, Akaza has realized that Xia Yan's strength is incomparable to that of his previous opponents, and this time he used his full strength right from the start.
"Destruction Killing Random Style!"
Boom boom boom boom——
Akaza's arms instantly transformed into a series of afterimages, launching fierce attacks on various parts of Xia Yan's body, unleashing a barrage of attacks single-handedly.
The fist tore through the air, producing a series of ear-piercing explosions.
With the enhancement of the Blood Demon Art, Akaza even unleashed terrifying shockwaves with his fists.
There is no doubt that he could even break through a mountain range with his bare hands.
only--
"It's no use! Your attacks have no effect on my eyes!"
Xia Yan's lips curled into a dangerous smile, and the blood vessels and veins around his eyes suddenly bulged.
Everything around seemed to slow down countless times, and Xia Yan could clearly see the trajectory of Akaza's every punch.
In that brief instant, Xia Yan adjusted his breathing, raising his mind, skill, and body to their peak, merging the three into one and integrating them into the blade in his hand.
He suddenly swung the blade down.
Let your heart vanish like darkness, let your techniques be as clear as light, and let your body blend into nature like a shadow.
Listen to all the voices, and with the swift winds of God, cut through everything in the world.
"Storm Breathing - Third Form - Mysterious Divine Wind - Azure Dragon!"
The howling wind created a faint, almost imperceptible, dragon's roar.
The blade, wreathed in a fierce wind, tore through the air, accompanied by the chilling glint of the Nichirin Blade, like a world-destroying hurricane. In a daze, a colossal, winding, azure dragon, which should only appear in myths, descended upon this place.
The dragon groaned and transformed into Xia Yan's sword blade, facing Akaza's attack head-on.
Boom boom boom boom——
Countless sounds of collisions mingled together.
The next second, Akaza's body flew backward like a tattered rag doll, crashing to the ground and rolling repeatedly to dissipate the force.
His body had many deep wounds that exposed bone, and his neck was covered with three horrific cuts that looked like ribbons, almost severing his head completely, held together only by a thin layer of skin.
However, due to the Upper Moon Demon's terrifying regenerative abilities, these suffocating injuries were completely healed in just a few breaths.
Akaza looked up at Tamayo's location, which was now dozens of meters away from him.
In that instant, the two sides clashed nearly a hundred times, and he was almost beheaded three times.
However, this near-fatal encounter did not deter Akaza; instead, it only deepened the smile on his lips.
"You are indeed very strong! People age and die. Even a powerful being like you, who has reached the highest realm, will gradually lose your power! How tragic!"
Akaza said regretfully, "If you die, your excellent swordsmanship will disappear along with you! Natsuhiko! Don't you feel sad?"
"I'll ask you one more time, do you want to become a ghost?"
Chapter 88 Xing Tian came over and gave a thumbs up
"Huh? You mean I'm going to die?" Xia Yan raised an eyebrow at Akaza, somewhat surprised, and said, "You were beaten like a dog, so why are you still talking tough to me?"
Despite saying this, Xia Yan secretly became more vigilant.
Unlike the battles with other demons before, the demons were far too weak, not even capable of allowing Xia Yan to use his sword form.
Even the lower moon demons of the Twelve Demon Moons were nothing more than toys to Xia Yan, to whom he could manipulate at will.
If he didn't want to, the other person wouldn't even have the right to die in his presence.
Even if someone wanted to utter Muzan's name, Xia Yan could use his Byakugan and the powerful perception of the Transparent World to discover the other party's intentions first.
And cut off the ghost's tongue beforehand.
However, in his battle with Akaza, every attack by Natsuhiko was filled with killing intent.
Even so, the opponent was still able to hold out for so long, even though he was just a hair's breadth away from having his neck severed several times. But the fact that he was just a hair's breadth away each time speaks volumes about his strength.
The Upper Moon demons, especially the first three, are beings from a completely different dimension from the other demons.
Although he has the upper hand so far and is confident of victory, Akaza is indeed a threat to him and not an opponent to be underestimated.
Akaza was naturally unaware of Natsuhiko's thoughts, but he showed no anger in the face of Natsuhiko's provocative words.
For him, a temporary advantage is nothing; true strength lies in achieving final victory.
"Because your attacks are ineffective against me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Akaza leaped high into the air, covering a distance of dozens of meters, and appeared in front of Xia Yan as if by teleportation.
Then, using the momentum of its descent, it slammed down on Xia Yan like a falling meteor, delivering a powerful punch from above.
