Chapter 81 Fist vs. Fist

Akaza looked at Fang Yi who was posing as a warrior in front of him. For some reason, he made some unnecessary movements.

It first moved its wrists, then clasped its fists and pressed its fingers hard, making the joints make crisp sounds. At the same time, it turned its head, making its neck make slight clicking sounds, and also expanded its shoulders.

But for an Upper Rank Three, whose physical strength is almost unlimited and whose body can be revived quickly, these actions are a complete waste of time.

The upper-rank demons are much stronger than human bodies, not to mention the top three upper-rank demons. There is a huge gap in strength between them and the upper-rank four. They do not need to warm up like fragile humans to prevent their bodies from being injured during strenuous exercise.

But Akaza's body instinctively performed these movements. His familiar physical memory told him that it seemed as if he had done these movements many times in the past.

Then, after doing these actions, the ghost was stunned, as if it didn't understand the meaning of doing so. This would not make it stronger, nor would it help it kill the enemy quickly, but it did it anyway.

These useless actions are generally called "rituals" by humans, but they have no meaning to it, nor are they what a ghost like it wants to pursue.

[I think someone once taught me this, but I can no longer recall the memory. I can no longer remember his name or face.]

Akaza understood that it was the remaining memories of its human life in this body that made it perform these actions, but the memories before it became a demon had long disappeared from its mind, and now the only goal left was to become stronger.

"What's the reason I became stronger? I seem to have forgotten something important, but it doesn't matter anymore, right? 】

Akaza used the silk thread in his hand to forcibly pull his thoughts, which were flying farther and farther away like a kite, back to the 'ground', returned to reality, and began to try to meet Fang Yi's fist.

While it was stunned, Fang Yi had already attacked.
-
Offense is the best defense. After throwing the Nichirin Sword to Tomioka Giyu, Fang Yi decided to attack Akaza.

The opponent's daze only gave him a better opportunity, and the initiative in the previous attacks gave him the advantage of delaying for a few seconds.

The difference in physical strength between humans and upper-rank demons is enormous, and Fang Yi naturally knows this. If he just passively takes the beating and tries his best to dodge the opponent's attacks, he will soon fall into a disadvantage and consume more physical strength than attacking.

Not to mention that Tomioka Giyu's body was already damaged, Nakamori Yuto and Kocho Shinobu were still fighting with several lower-rank masters. In the field, Akaza only needed to face an enemy like Fang Yi, and at the same time he voluntarily threw away the Nichirin Sword, so the number of attacks that could threaten the opponent became less.

There are fewer things that can distract the opponent's attention, and it is a bit idealistic to expect to survive the period before dawn by relying solely on passive combat methods such as avoiding, blocking, and dodging.

Although Fang Yi has a semi-attributed body and good panel attributes, which greatly alleviates the problem of insufficient physical strength caused by using the [Five Emperors' Coins] to resurrect, the aging buff not only brings the side effect of declining physical strength, but also reduces the maximum upper limit of health.

The aftermath of Akaza's attack could take away half of an average person's life, but for Fang Yi it could be a whole life. He was not going to waste his remaining life on Akaza to revive himself.

Such a ghost is not worthy of forcing himself into a desperate situation and using the means of resurrection to trick the other party.

At the same time, he has not forgotten that the scumbag boss Muzan Kibutsuji can know the memories and information of ghosts by distributing blood to them. Before the final battle, Fang Yi will never reveal this trump card of his.

There was nothing to be afraid of, as Akaza's skills as a warrior were far inferior to his own.

After the brief fight just now, Fang Yi already had a general understanding of its abilities. It was just using the ability of [Destruction Killing·Luozhen] to act recklessly and avoid the fatal damage that could kill it in seconds.

At the same time, as an Upper Rank Three, he has extremely strong resurrection abilities, and can withstand attacks that [Destruction Kill·Needle] cannot accurately detect, and can kill his human opponents alive.

Fang Yi already had a basic idea in his mind about how to defeat this opponent and complete the "Survive Until Dawn" mission. What remained was to confirm whether Giyu Tomioka understood his plan and then make adjustments.

He swung his fist, and a mocking smile appeared on his face as he watched Akaza, caught off guard and losing the initiative because his ordinary fist hadn't triggered [Destruction Kill: Ra Needle]. At the same time, Akaza had an inexplicable obsession, not wanting to use the resurrection brought by his demon body to directly take the damage and forcefully exchange injuries.

Instead, he tried to show off his martial arts skills and began to dodge and block. However, under Fang Yi's fierce punches, he was unable to use his [Destruction Kill·X Style] series of attacking abilities.

Fang Yi looked at his opponent dodging and blocking his attacks, the smile on his face grew wider, and the White Eyebrow Fist in his hand became faster and faster, briefly suppressing Akaza, who had inexplicably become interested in martial arts, and compressing its dodging space smaller and smaller.

After a straight punch suddenly turned into a chopped hammer and hit Akaza in the face, causing the demon's tattooed face to swell up a little.

Fang Yi's verbal attack also began, "Your qualities as a warrior are far from perfect. For one thing, you were distracted when facing the enemy, allowing your opponent to take the initiative and put you at a disadvantage."

He added after the other person was hit in the ribs by his elbow.

"Secondly, after you dodged my attack, your steps became unsteady. You should be thankful that you're a ghost and not a human now, otherwise you would have lost your balance and been knocked down by me."

The fighting spirit in Akaza's eyes gradually turned into anger, but the anger obviously did not improve the demon's martial arts level and allow him to fight back.

In a rage, Akaza was hit by Fang Yi's punches again.

Just like when a person is extremely angry and smashes the keyboard in anger, he can eat a few more bowls of rice, but he can't solve math problems or find bugs in the program.

Akaza's extreme anger caused his own combat strategy to go awry. He voluntarily gave up his advantages of quick resurrection and resistance to attacks, and wanted to fight Fang Yi like a warrior.

However, this ghost's martial arts skills were not good enough, and he was hit by several more punches.

But it was obviously hit on the head by Fang Yi's White Eyebrow Fists, which were undetectable by [Destruction Kill·Luo Needle].

Fang Yi's punches and elbows were not very damaging, but extremely insulting. The more he was hit, the more Akaza wanted to fight back with martial arts techniques, but his skills were terrible, so he was beaten by Fang Yi again.

Coupled with Fang Yi's trash talk, the Upper Three became increasingly angry.

Akaza's situation can be simply described as "anxious.jpg".

That Jerry meme or that Hong Wen meme best describes its current situation.

After Fang Yi hit the opponent again, he added, "Who taught you boxing? None of your punches are decent. Do you want me to teach you?"

Akaza roared and chose to put aside the warrior's dignity that inexplicably rose in his body. He took a few punches from Fang Yi and stepped back to prepare to use powerful skills.

Fang Yi looked at Akaza, whose face didn't change but was obviously flushed, and Tomioka Giyu, who had already picked up the Nichirin Sword he had thrown and started breathing to adjust his physical condition.

He has sensed the dawn of victory.

【The rules of victory have been determined.】
