Just as the Demon of the Blade was pondering, Yan Liang had already turned his gaze back to him.
Yan Liang didn't take this terrifying demon, who had just cut Denji in half and beaten Hayakawa Aki to the point of being unable to fight back, seriously.
Times have changed. Before he gained new abilities, he might not have been so confident when facing him.
But now, he has nothing to be afraid of anymore.
"You must be the Demon of the Sword?"
Staring directly at the sword demon before him, Yan Liang casually spoke:
"I'm not one to talk nonsense."
"But I'm in a pretty good mood today, so I'm willing to make an exception for you."
As he spoke, Yan Liang pointed with his chin towards the end of the street:
“If you tuck your tail between your legs and crawl out of here like a stray dog, I won’t lay a hand on you today.”
"Everyone's time is precious, there's no need to stay here and humiliate ourselves, right?"
Upon hearing these words, the Demon of the Blade was first stunned, and then he was so angry that he laughed.
"Ha...hahahaha!"
His shoulders trembled, and after a few soft chuckles, his eyes suddenly turned extremely cold.
"What arrogance!"
He suppressed his rage, which made him want to rush forward and chop Yan Liang into mincemeat, and raised his arm, pointing it directly at Yan Liang's face:
"Don't spout such arrogant nonsense!"
"Before that, I have a question I must ask you!"
"You bastard...why did you kill my grandfather?!"
The voice of the Demon of the Sword was filled with sorrow, as if he were the victim himself:
"Although my grandfather was involved in a gang, he was a man of principle!"
"He treated his subordinates and everyone around him very well, and he was especially kind to me! And what was the result?!"
The Demon of the Blade became more and more excited as he spoke:
"My dear grandfather, you and those zombies chopped him into pieces! Even after he died, you couldn't piece together a complete body!"
"You heartless demon hunters are simply unforgivable!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Liang raised his eyelids slightly, deliberately feigning a blank expression as if he hadn't understood, and asked in return:
"What grandpa? You've mistaken me for someone else."
"Stop playing dumb with me, you fucking idiot!"
With a roar, the Demon of the Sword continued:
"That's the one who turned into a zombie demon in the abandoned factory! That was my grandfather!"
"To be honest, if you kneel down right now, kowtow to my grandfather, and apologize, I might take pity on you and leave you with a whole corpse!"
Yan Liang lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.
Two seconds later, he looked up, feigning sudden realization:
"Oh—I remember now. It seems there really was such a thing."
Under the almost murderous gaze of the Demon of the Blade, Yan Liang lowered his head, glanced at the soles of his shoes, and said casually:
"No wonder my shoes felt sticky when I came out of the factory that day, like I was walking on a pile of mangled flesh that I just couldn't shake off..."
Yan Liang raised his head and smiled at the Demon of the Sword:
"So, it was your grandfather who caused this."
"..."
At that moment, the entire street fell silent.
The Demon of the Blade stood still. He paused for a moment, and after two or three seconds, he understood what Yan Liang meant.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable rage erupted, as if it were going to burn his brains.
"I'm going to chop you into mincemeat—!!!"
Chapter 130 "The Demon of the Blade Wins"
"I'm going to chop you into mincemeat—!!!"
The surging anger within him made the Demon of the Blade unable to maintain his composure, and the roar he let out almost made the entire ruins tremble once again.
His eyes, hidden beneath his hat, had turned bloodshot. His already incredible speed was amplified to an even higher level by his rage.
With a loud "bang!", the ground beneath the Blade Demon's feet exploded, sending shards of rock flying like bullets. Before anyone could react, he had already transformed into a black afterimage, his arms wielding blades in an X-shape across his chest, aimed directly at Yan Liang's face.
"Captain! Watch out—!!"
Collapsed to the side, unable to get up, Hayakawa Aki was so enraged by the sight that he instinctively roared out.
too fast!
It was so fast that he could only see a blur.
The speed of the sword demon had already exceeded the limits of what his eyes could perceive. In Hayakawa Aki's eyes, one second he only saw the sword demon move, the two still quite far apart. The next second, he blinked, and the distance between the sword demon and Yan Liang seemed to fold. When he opened his eyes again—
The Demon of the Blade was already right in front of Yan Liang!
The blades on those arms turned in milliseconds, already facing Yan Liang's nose.
What made Hayakawa Aki even more desperate was that, faced with this fatal blow, Yan Liang either didn't have time to react or didn't want to react. He just stood there blankly, not even raising his hand, let alone launching a killing attack.
Behind the battlefield, Sawatari Akane, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, revealed a cold smile on her indifferent face.
"This idiot is overestimating himself."
Akane Sawatari thought to herself.
Angelica, an American female agent, had disclosed information about Yan Liang, which gave her a general idea of his abilities.
In her view, although Yan Liang's slash was powerful, ignoring distance, physical strength, and defense, and difficult to withstand once activated, Angelica still discovered two major weaknesses in his ability through the intelligence she gathered.
First, there is a clear pre-activation animation before this guy can activate his ability. That is, he must first cross his fingers, snap his fingers, or make a clear hand gesture in order to complete the rule's judgment.
Secondly, his attacks have a cooldown; there's no such thing as continuous attacks.
Although Angelica mentioned in the information that Yan Liang could set some rules and only those who met his conditions could be killed, Sawatari Akane never thought of guessing Yan Liang's abilities or avoiding this matter.
It's very simple. If she tries to circumvent Yan Liang's rules by guessing them, she's just a headless fly right now. There are just too many possibilities to consider, and she's likely to fall into the trap of being too clever for her own good, only to be outsmarted by Yan Liang instead.
It would be better to use those two weaknesses to crush him with sheer force, and before he can react, use that absolute speed to easily sever his head.
This was the response that Sawatari Akane had planned from the beginning, and now, it was working as she had hoped. With the Demon of the Blade completely gaining the initiative, Yan Liang couldn't react to his terrifying speed at all, and didn't even have time to raise his hand and snap his fingers.
Once touched by the blade of the Demon of Blades, not to mention Yan Liang, even the transformed Denji would be no match for him and would be cut in half without any chance to fight back!
"It seems..."
"The Demon of the Blade has won."
With that thought in mind, Sawatari Akane made up her mind.
"Whoosh—!!!"
In that split second, the sword demon's arm was raised high, the sharp blade on his arm reflecting a chilling light in the sunlight, and it struck Yan Liang directly in the face.
However.
There was no blood splattering as imagined, nor was there any separation of flesh and blood.
Upon seeing what happened next, Sawatari Akane's indifferent gaze suddenly froze, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily opened slightly, as if she had seen something frightening.
Not only her, but also Hayakawa Aki and Himeno wore expressions of disbelief. Because what they saw was—
The Blade Demon's blade, after striking Yan Liang's face, did not stop, as if it had struck a wisp of insubstantial air. His seemingly fierce attack was completely ineffective, and the two sharp blades pierced straight through Yan Liang's body and chest!
"what?!"
Sawatari Akane opened her mouth, her eyes widening in shock.
How is that possible?! The information clearly stated that he had only demonstrated the ability to kill, and had never demonstrated the ability to manipulate space or become intangible like this before. How could he possibly do something like this?
The Demon of the Sword, who was involved in the incident, experienced a brief brain freeze due to this bizarre scene.
His speed and strength, which he was so proud of, had no effect whatsoever. It was as if he had hit cotton; when he came to his senses, the strong inertia propelled him forward several steps before he could barely regain his balance.
"What exactly is going on..."
The Demon of the Blade stared in astonishment at his arm, where the blade was spotless, without a trace of Yan Liang's blood.
In the brief half-second that he was stunned and wondering if he was hallucinating, something unexpected happened.
"Snapped."
A crisp snap of fingers rang out behind him.
The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced everyone's ears in the quiet ruins.
The Demon of the Blade's hair stood on end at that moment, an indescribable sense of impending death instantly washing over him. Only then did he realize that Yan Liang had raised his right hand at some point, his index and middle fingers overlapping in mid-air, pointing at him.
"This, how is this..." The Demon of the Blade stammered, trying to move his body, but found that he could not move. In his eyes, dense red lines filled his field of vision.
Where the red line goes, there is absolute annihilation!
His arms, chest, and thighs were all cleanly cut apart at the same time along those invisible red lines!
"How is this possible!"
With a muttered sound, the Demon of the Blade collapsed into dozens of pieces of flesh of varying sizes, mixed with gushing blood, and scattered on the ground with a "whoosh".
In the shadows of distant ruins, Sawatari Akane, who had witnessed everything, nervously raised her hand and rubbed her eyes hard, unable to believe that it was real.
However, when she opened her eyes again, the pile of shredded flesh on the ground was still glaringly obvious.
At this moment, a look of fear finally crept onto her usually calm and indifferent face.
Chapter 131 I gave you a chance, but you were useless.
"Cough... Huff..."
Not far away, Hayakawa Aki was panting heavily, staring at Yan Liang's back. In his understanding, he had no idea what had just happened. At that moment, the Blade Demon's blade, which could easily cut through the Cassiopeia, seemed to have struck a phantom.
It wasn't a simple kill; what other abilities is the captain hiding?!
On the other side, Ji Ye, who was leaning against the corner of the wall and covering his wound, still looked pale, but a deep sense of awe flashed in his eyes.
Faced with a desperate situation, and then rescued by Yan Liang, Ji Ye finally relaxed after experiencing that real sense of security. She even had the leisure to take out a cigarette with a little blood on it from her pocket, but her hand was shaking so much that she couldn't even press the lighter.
The battlefield in the ruins fell silent. While everyone was still staring blankly at the pile of flesh cut into pieces, Yan Liang had already walked unhurriedly to the center of the pile of corpses.
His leather shoes stopped at the edge of the pool of blood. Bending down, Yan Liang stretched out one hand, as if carrying a bag of garbage, and grabbed the head with a huge blade inside the pieces of flesh.
Blood dripped down the cross-section of the sword demon's head.
Yan Liang held the head up in front of him, looking directly at the head of the sword demon, and said in a detached tone:
"Ugh……"
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it."
He had already given the Demon of the Blade a chance; he was someone who disliked trouble.
In fact, Yan Liang had made two preparations for the Sword Demon from the beginning. If he had managed to deter the Sword Demon and the Sword Demon did not attack him, Yan Liang was too lazy to kill him. It would have been better if they had just kept to themselves.
Unfortunately, the Demon of the Sword still ended up on a narrow path.
He made two wrong decisions: first, he went against himself; second, he fell for his provocation and couldn't help but yell, thus triggering his rules.
Yan Liang therefore eliminated him with two rules: "Don't wear a suit at work" and "Don't exceed 80 decibels in public places".
Back to reality, it wasn't until he heard these mocking words that the Demon of the Blade, whose body had been shattered by Yan Liang and who was now just a head, finally came to his senses.
The humiliation, rising like a raging fire, transformed into anger, burning away all his reason.
