The Warrior of Love

"Give it over... not a drop left... not a piece of flesh left... give me your body!"

Chapter 50: Jiang Liu's Secret Sword

No evil ghost had ever eaten Jiang Liu's flesh and blood before, so Jiang Liu had never discovered his specialness.

Just like "rare blood", his body also has a great attraction to evil spirits, but the specifics are a little different.

To ghosts, rare blood is like delicious food that exudes fragrance all the time, tempting them to pounce on it and feast on it.

Jiang Liu's blood, on the other hand, is not so "ostentatious" but rather extremely restrained. If you don't really taste it with your lips and tongue, you will never be able to discover its beauty.

But if you have already entered, you will inevitably sink and be tempted by the irresistible devil.

To use an analogy, the thin blood is like the fragrant wine, while the flesh and blood of Jiang Liu is the "drunkenness and dream" that looks like clear water.

The reason why this happens is very simple: divinity.

Jiang Liu obtained the composite divinity of three mecha gods and the Great Evil God from the world of "The Light Messenger".

Although it is a mechanical divinity, although it cannot play a real role without a mechanical god, although the concentration is low and it cannot be called a demigod, although Jiang Liu has only obtained divinity for more than a year...

However, no matter what, it is divinity!

Jiang Liu's body was indeed being transformed imperceptibly. The physical fitness he displayed when practicing with Dao Lin Tang Feng was only an external manifestation. His internal improvement was also great, but it could not be seen directly.

Compared to the rare blood, Jiang Liu's side is closer to "Tang Monk's flesh"... No wonder Ling Yuzi reacted so strongly.

Not to mention that the smell is something that ghosts cannot stop eating, just like a drug addiction. Besides, this Lower Moon Four has a strong premonition that if she can eat Jiang Liu, not to mention securing her position as the Lower Moon, she may even be able to challenge the Upper Moon!

However, even so, she underestimated the role of Jiang Liu's flesh and blood.

Because of the special nature of the three mechas - they are incarnations of the "Sun King", the composite divinity obtained by Jiang Liu is actually also contaminated with some of the sun's breath. Although it is not very strong, the level of "Demon Slayer" itself is not too high. Even with the mixed world view of "Sekiro", it is at most a mysterious and declining Dharma Ending Age.

In other words, Jiang Liu's physique is a unique miracle in this world view, or even a product of miracle.

If he could be eaten whole, not only would he be able to break through his limits, he might even be able to overcome the evil spirit's fear of sunlight!

Just this point alone would make even Demon King Muzan go crazy if he knew about it!

Of course, no one knows unless they have actually tasted it. Even Jiang Liu himself doesn’t know how “delicious” it is.

"What happened..."

He jumped backwards nimbly to avoid Ling Yuzi's pursuit. Covering the wound on his chest, Jiang Liu tried his best to control his breathing rhythm and try not to tear the wound.

"This ghost is suddenly so excited. Given my current state... this is not good."

If Jiang Liu had known the opponent's intelligence in advance and had fought a fair battle in an open area, he might not have lost to Ling Yuzi, but as emphasized before: humans are very fragile.

Unlike hot-blooded comics, in real battles there are not many situations where one can get back on their feet. Often a single defeat will lead to serious and irreparable consequences. This is the case with Jiang Liu now. He almost lost his life after being hit by just one attack.

Although the instinct to fight back (get hit) and avoid (get hit) etched into his bones saved his life, the wound was so deep that it could not be treated now... Death from excessive blood loss is really not a suitable ending for a swordsman.

Even though his physique is better than most people, he is definitely unable to continue fighting with such serious injuries. If he were to force such an overwhelmed body to move... it would be tantamount to suicide.

One minute, or half a minute. If the battle cannot be resolved in a short time, Jiang Liu will be killed by his own breathing method!

In that case——

"one move……"

Jiang Liu suddenly stopped dodging and instead stood in place, taking a stance. He turned around with the knife in one hand and blocked his body with the other hand, facing Ling Yuzi sideways while also covering half of his body. The cold blade swung horizontally in the darkness, but its edge was completely restrained, making it difficult to capture even with the eyesight of an evil ghost.

"I'll kill you with the next move!"

"Huh? Are you kidding me? Just you?"

There was a sound of muscles breaking on Ling Yuzi's arm, and sharp bone spurs grew out one after another, just like a sword mountain and a knife wheel.

"Give up. Even if you resist, you will only taste more despair. Just let me eat you... Don't worry, I will be quick and will not let you suffer too much."

"Don't underestimate me."

There was no trace of panic in Jiang Liu's voice, only indifference and confidence.

"I've been through worse situations. Yes, the human body is much more fragile than a demon's. I no longer have the strength to fight. But if it's just one sword—"

"You want to kill me with just one sword?!"

"I'm betting on this sword, take it!"

Could it be that he was really sure? Ling Yuzi couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

Even though she had the upper hand, her inherent caution still made her timid and cautious. She stared at the Sun Blade in Jiang Liu's hand and became alert with full concentration.

Jiang Liu shouted in a low voice: "Secret Sword——"

coming!

Ling Yuzi's heart tightened, the murderous intent emanating from the human in front of her at this moment was undoubtedly real, making her skin tense, and his sword was definitely more dangerous.

Where will the attack come from?

Iai? Continuous slashing? Or using force to defeat the opponent's skill and then slashing directly?

But no matter what, as long as the bones on the neck are reinforced, his life can be saved. As long as he can survive this blow, this human will lose the ability to resist, and the flesh and blood that is more delicious than thin blood will become his own private property!

I won't lose!

Suddenly, the river began to flow, and Ling Yuzi's pupils suddenly shrank.

"This move... is really targeting the neck?"

Taking a deep breath, Ling Yuzi stared at the trajectory of the Sun Blade, and at the same time, the bones on his neck became tighter and stronger.

Gululu...

In this oppressive atmosphere that was so tense that not even a hair could be inserted, a strange sound attracted Ling Yuzi's attention. It was a few round balls the size of glass marbles, which somehow rolled to her feet.

"This is--"

clap clap clap!

The small balls suddenly exploded, and the pungent and spicy mist hit Ling Yuzi's sense of smell, which was far more sensitive than that of normal people, and the continuous noise also disrupted her concentration.

She only paid attention to the sword hidden behind her, but ignored the hand that Jiang Liu was clearly placing in front of her!

It seems to be covering up the final secret sword, but in fact the arm used to cover it up is the key to victory or defeat!

Ling Yuzi had no idea how Jiang Liu took out these special gunpowder bullets and how he threw them away quietly.

It’s called a martial art, but this technique might as well be called magic, or - ninjutsu!

"Don't come near me, human!"

The opponent would definitely take the opportunity to chop his neck - with such a thought in mind, Ling Yuzi was terrified and used all his strength to activate the blood ghost technique. Dozens of bone spurs protruded from his body, turning the area within one meter around him into a life restricted zone.

However, the protective bone spurs failed to touch anything, and Jiang Liu actually gave up this great opportunity and did not attack.

Whoosh!

A short and sharp sound was heard, and a dim cold light flashed in the chaotic gunpowder mist. When Ling Yuzi wanted to dodge, it was too late.

The next moment, unspeakable pain came from her eye sockets, and her world fell into absolute darkness.

“My eyes ahhhhh!!”

Chapter 51: Type Zero: Immortal Slash

Damn humans!

Kill you, I will definitely kill you!

It hurts, ahhhh it hurts! What on earth is this? Why does it hurt so much? !

Ling Yuzi, who had transformed into a porcupine, was destroying everything in the room. The four walls were almost instantly cut into countless small pieces, as if a storm of swords and sharp blades had blown through.

However, the structure of this mansion is very special, or perhaps it is due to the vampire magic, even if the walls are demolished, the house is still standing.

He vented his anger to his heart's content, but still could not feel the touch of penetrating the human body. He knew in his heart that he had failed to kill Jiang Liu. Ling Yuzi's hatred and anger had no way of being reduced, and it grew higher and higher like a flame.

The action had just stopped for a moment, and before she had time to catch her breath, she felt an unbearable tingling sensation from her injured eye, causing Shao Mei to frown.

The pain...gradually disappeared, but Ling Yuzi knew that this was not a good thing.

Generally speaking, ghosts are not afraid of ordinary poisons due to their physical condition, but they are not without any weaknesses.

“Did you apply the wisteria flower ingredient?!”

He pulled out the hidden weapons from his eyes without hesitation. Ling Yuzi felt a large amount of warm liquid flowing out of his eye sockets, but it was not blood but something like thick juice.

"cut!"

Feeling the shape of the hidden weapon, she determined that it should be a flying prop such as a long needle. She didn't know what material it was made of, but it was much harder than ordinary metal, and there was indeed the scent of wisteria flowers coming from it.

If her guess was correct, this thing might be partially hollow, hiding a potion made with wisteria flowers...

It is naturally impossible to poison an evil ghost to death, but you can slightly reduce the ghost's body functions and inhibit the regeneration speed of the injured parts.

"Want to take my eyes away... Where are you hiding, human?"

Yelling and shouting at Jiang Liu who was nowhere to be found, Ling Yuzi was now covered in blood, with sharp white bone spurs all over his body. His eyes had also become blood holes, continuously leaking unknown liquids, and he had truly become a true "evil ghost".

However, no matter how she yelled or provoked, she could not get any response from Jiang Liu, and she could not sense Jiang Liu's presence at all.

As for the smell...the pungent smell left by those special explosive bombs has not disappeared yet.

"Did he really escape?"

Ling Yuzi showed his sharp white teeth, looking extremely ferocious.

"Or are you secretly waiting for the chance to kill me? Ahahahaha - I really have been underestimated!"

The sharp nail popped out and shaped into a knife. Ling Yuzi inserted his index finger into the bloody holes of his eyes and cut off the poisoned area bit by bit. Perhaps because it touched the bone, it made a harsh friction sound, which made people shudder.

Although it was removed bit by bit, Ling Yuzi moved extremely quickly and the pain seemed non-existent to her. She quickly removed all the diseased tissue, leaving only the eye area which was almost like a skeleton.

"If it was against humans, you would have won by now, but don't compare me to humans!"

The lost flesh and blood grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually filling up every inch of blank space. Those blood-red eyes, and even the word "disgraceful" in the pupils, returned again!

"Okay, now go die for me--hmm?"

He had originally planned to kill and eat Jiang Liu immediately after regaining his vision to avoid any unnecessary complications, but when Ling Yuzi took a look, he really saw nothing.

There should be no obstacles in this room, but there is not even a shadow of a person... Did he really run away?

——Just as this thought came to mind, a slight and almost imperceptible airflow quietly fell from above.

"clatter……"

It was as light as a butterfly landing on flower petals. The silver-gray long sword flashed with blood-red spots, cut through the girl's skin, passed through the gaps between bones, and penetrated deep into her internal organs.

Enter from between the neck and collarbone to the heart!

There was almost no pain. The sharp blade broke through the body's defenses naturally as if breathing, inserted from the joints, and cut through the tendons and connective tissues. It was more skillful and smooth than processing food. There was almost no unnecessary collision. It achieved its goal by causing only minimal damage to the body.

And when all this was done, Ling Yuzi came to his senses and realized what had happened.

"Snapped!"

A big hand rested on Ling Yuzi's shoulder, and the weight of an adult male pressed down on him, waking the evil ghost from his daze.

"How dare you-"

"call!"

It was a man standing upside down in the air like a bat. He seemed to have just fallen from the ceiling and did not land directly on the ground, because given his position, he would undoubtedly be pierced by the bone spurs on Ling Yuzi's body.

Therefore, he "landed" in the only place where he would not be harmed: right above the remaining piece.

Holding the Nichirin Sword with one hand, and supporting the whole body weight with the other hand and pressing it on Ling Yuzi's shoulder, this difficult acrobatic move can only be done by Jiang Liu who has received ninja training.

This knife had undoubtedly destroyed Ling Yuzi's heart!

However, evil spirits will not die just like that. Their vitality is so strong that it cannot be defeated by "just a fatal wound".

"Humanity!"

Once they are given the opportunity, they will naturally tear the enemy to pieces.

At this moment, the anger caused by the threat to his life even overwhelmed his instinct for appetite. He no longer cared about the taste and freshness of the food. It didn't matter even if Jiang Liu was cut into pieces. There was only one thought left in Ling Yuzi's mind.

The girl reluctantly raised her head and looked at Jiang Liu, who had an indifferent expression.
