Chapter 65: Tzudoki’s Sword of Damocles (Request for Subscription)
“Next…”
Kawasubo noticed Tzudoki directing her gaze back at him and realized there was no avoiding it.
“Huff!”
Thus, Kawasubo took a deep breath. He didn’t retreat but instead unleashed a surge of Qi, launching a powerful punch toward the young girl.
“Boom!!”
A howling wind swept through, causing everything within a one-meter radius around Tzudoki to collapse instantly.
Unfortunately, Kawasubo’s all-out attack was effortlessly intercepted by Tzudoki, unable to budge her pale, tender jade hand even slightly.
“Impressive courage!”
These words were not spoken by Tzudoki but by Bai Luo: “Unfortunately, failing to gauge the gap between you and your opponent… was rather reckless.”
“Throw him in.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Without paying attention to the shocked Kawasubo, Tzudoki grabbed his fist and forcibly tore off his entire right arm. Blood splattered everywhere.
However, Kawasubo’s expression remained unchanged as he prepared to continue attacking with his other fist.
“Go inside and reflect on your actions for now.”
Tzudoki had no intention of prolonging this confrontation. She kicked him hard, sending him flying backward before disappearing into a black vortex.
“Will you go in yourselves, or should I throw you in?”
The remaining Remnant, Lei, Half-Dog from the Upper Strings, and Yuhu felt their scalps tingle. That overwhelming power which had annihilated several members of the Twelve Ghost Moons in an instant, coupled with Tzudoki’s noble bloodline surpassing that of Doma’s, left them awestruck.
Kyoukaku and Kawasubo resisting such fear and continuing to fight was already commendable. Normally, they should have been like Half-Dog, Yuhu, and Remnant—lacking even the courage to attack.
“What kind of beauty is this…”
Doma gazed fixatedly at Tzudoki, feeling regretful. Though Tzudoki was a cute girl who met his criteria for food, she wasn’t human. She was the new Demon King.
“I dislike your gaze.”
Tzudoki disliked Doma’s look, finding it extremely repulsive.
“Send him to Esdeath; she’ll help you eliminate him.”
Before Tzudoki could inquire, Bai Luo delivered the verdict. Bai Luo could sense Tzudoki’s emotional changes; thus, Doma had no reason to exist.
The prerequisite for recruiting demons wasn’t about how great their sins were but whether the other companions could accept them. Demons like Doma, who consumed women, would never be accepted by Bai Luo’s group.
“Alright.”
Tzudoki turned to Mingnv, who had been kneeling since the beginning. Unable to resist, Mingnv played the strings under Tzudoki’s control.
“Twang! Twang twang!”
As the sound of the lute fell, Doma disappeared.
Meanwhile, in another space, Esdeath had been waiting eagerly. The queen longed to face an immortal demon, and Doma, who could also manipulate ice, seemed like an excellent opponent.
“Give me one too!”
“Me as well!”
Ace and Kurumi Tiske quickly requested opponents after seeing Esdeath gain hers.
“Send the other two over as well.”
Bai Luo transmitted his thoughts to Tzudoki: “Half-Dog and Yuhu are too ugly; they seriously lower our team’s aesthetic appeal.”
You think Gigifutaro is also unattractive?
But doesn’t he have a sister? Dokkei is the aesthetic champion among the upper string demons.
Regarding Kawasubo and Kyoukaku, the former wasn’t much different from humans, while the latter, with six eyes, looked quite ferocious.
Half-Dog: I’m terrifying too!
Yuhu: Jumping out of the pot will scare you!
Of course, Bai Luo didn’t particularly like Kyoukaku. Even if he had passed Tzudoki’s first test, Bai Luo wouldn’t hire him. A person who pursued strength by abandoning his wife and daughters, betraying his race, and deserting his organization couldn’t be trusted.
In short, Kyoukaku was purely a white-eyed wolf.
If even Kyoukaku could receive Bai Luo’s blessing, wouldn’t that be unfair to Bai Luo’s loyal followers?
“That thing…”
Qian Renxue asked: “Can I try too?”
“Sure, but be careful not to get hurt by the demons.”
Bai Luo said: “Tzudoki, send the white-haired boy to Xiao Xue.”
After speaking, Bai Luo immediately opened three new battlefields, allowing the four women to fully enjoy combat.
“What?! ”
Remnant looked around. Unknowingly, she was the only one left with Mingnv. The Lower String Four had been cursed to death by Tzudoki, Kawasubo, Kyoukaku, and the Dokkei siblings were trapped in a dark space, while Doma, Half-Dog, Yuhu, and Lei were assigned their respective opponents.
Remnant was now very anxious. If she weren’t a demon herself, she might have cried.
No, she was already crying. Large drops of blood tears fell. When Tzudoki looked at her, she collapsed in fear, emitting a shameful cry.
“So weak.”
Tzudoki didn’t know how to handle Remnant. Should she kill her? But seeing Remnant’s pitiful appearance, Tzudoki hesitated.
Although Tzudoki appeared fierce before the demons, in reality, she was merely imitating Bai Luo. Through the connection of the Sacred Domain, Tzudoki gained some knowledge, including Bai Luo’s speech style.
</html>
From the current perspective, this seems unsuitable for Tzudoki.
“Never mind, let’s leave it to Brother Bai Luo to decide.”
Tzudoki surpassed the Remnant, and just as she took a few steps forward, an overwhelmingly fierce killing intent surged up from beneath her feet!
“Hoong!”
The house shattered completely, amidst flying debris, two figures confronted each other—one above, one below.
“Damn it!”
“You bastard!!”
The one who launched the attack on Tzudoki was none other than Mushan from earlier, whom she had flung away.
In merely dozens of seconds, Mushan had fully restored himself from being reduced to just a head, without losing even a fraction of his strength.
Endless stamina, infinite regenerative abilities, and the power to transform flesh into thorny whips as hard as rock.
Almost instantaneously, Mushan unleashed hundreds of attacks on Tzudoki.
“Is that all?”
Tzudoki did nothing because there was no need.
She is the Red King.
And Authority Holders are naturally protected by the Sacred Domain.
The force of causality isn’t something mere physical strikes can counter.
Not to mention Mushan’s close-range attacks; even if En’i Yoriichi were reborn and used his Transparent World, the Sacred Domain would distort reality and rules to teach him a lesson.
There’s no way around it; the gap between them is too great.
So great that simple breathing techniques or sheer physical strength could never bridge it.
“Damn! Damn damn damn!”
“Why? Why is my attack ineffective against you?!”
Mushan had given it his all; the five brains and seven hearts in his body were overworking beyond their limits.
But here’s the problem: no matter how he attacked or tried to find Tzudoki’s weak points,
all his attacks dissipated like water flowing back into the sea when they reached the girl, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.
“What kind of power is this?!”
“Why have you evolved so quickly?!”
In fear and madness, Mushan angrily questioned Tzudoki: “The Blue 彼岸花 (Coeruleum)! It must be the Blue 彼岸花!”
“Tell me, where is the Blue 彼岸花?!”
After a thousand years of searching, the Blue 彼岸花 had almost become Mushan’s obsession.
Due to his limited understanding, Mushan couldn’t imagine what power allowed Tzudoki to resist his attacks.
The only thing he could think of was that Tzudoki had evolved into a higher life form—a truly perfect organism.
“Pitiful creature.”
Tzudoki originally harbored deep hatred for Mushan.
But seeing his reaction now, she suddenly felt that this man was pitiable.
Upon contact with Mushan, through the blood of the 恶鬼 (evil ghost), Tzudoki saw countless images—sins committed by Mushan over these thousand years.
These images were also observed by Bai Luo.
“What has Mushan done over a thousand years?”
Bai Luo thought that the existence of Mushan was an insult to those villains with ideals and plans.
With Mushan’s experience and resources, even replacing him with a pig as the Demon King would likely be enough to conquer all of Japan.
“Eliminate him and avenge your family, Tzudoki.”
Bai Luo had no intention of recruiting Mushan; this guy was utterly useless.
Compared to Mushan, Kyoukaku and Kawasubo were far superior.
“Thank you, Brother Bai Luo.”
Tzudoki eagerly awaited the opportunity to kill Mushan herself.
For this man alone, the girl would feel not an ounce of mercy.
“Repent well in hell, Mushan!”
The Sacred Domain of Red centered on Tzudoki unfolded, instantly incinerating all the whip-like appendages Mushan had released.
That terrifying heat seemed capable of melting everything in the world.
Just standing before Tzudoki, Mushan felt the pain akin to facing the scorching sun.
“Aahh!!”
“What…what kind of power is this?”
“No, no!”
Only now did Mushan realize that Tzudoki’s power was far beyond what mere 恶鬼 (evil ghost) blood could grant.
“Hooomg!!”
Crimson light illuminated the dim Infinite Castle. It was an ancient sword resembling a samurai blade—the Sword of Damocles.
The crimson hilt resembled coral carving, while golden suns revolved endlessly around the blade, rising in the morning and setting in the evening.
On the tsuba (hand guard), blood formed two feathered robes, or like waterfalls hanging from the heavens, continuously dripping pure blood.
Moreover, unlike any Sword of Damocles Bai Luo had ever seen, Tzudoki’s came with a matching scabbard.
The surface of the scabbard was adorned with various phenomena—lightning, fire, wind, mist, waves, rocks, and jewels—like chains sealing the blade symbolizing slaughter and destruction within.
“Aaaahhh!!!”
The Demise Power enveloped the painfully screaming Mushan.
Despite having the trump card of splitting into thousands of pieces, Mushan still met his end.
En’i Yoriichi once slashed 1500 times in a second.
But compared to Tzudoki’s Demise Power, those 1500 strikes were nothing.
In an instant, every part of Mushan—his body, flesh, even down to a single cell—was thoroughly erased at the particle level.
“It’s over…”
With Mushan’s death, the demons who should have disappeared along with him did not immediately turn to ash.
Because a new Demon King had taken Mushan’s place.
All of Mushan’s privileges were transferred entirely to her.
