Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Embarrassed Qian Renxue (Request for Subscription)
“Are you back?”
Bai Luo stood alone at the edge of the floating wooden house, looking down at the scene below: “Didn’t recruit them all at once?”
“I gave them time to consider.”
Asato Seiri naturally stood beside Bai Luo. She should be the most serious and diligent among all the crown princesses.
She carried out her duties as Bai Luo’s subordinate with meticulous care.
“You can focus your attention on the girl with multicolored hair and another young girl.”
“What is special about them?”
Asato Seiri didn’t understand, Bai Luo explained: “They don’t have many ties in this world.”
Mitsuri Kanroji longs for love and is a very pure child.
Butterfly Shinobu developed self-destructive tendencies after her sister died, determined only to avenge her sister.
The favor of entrusting Doma to Butterfly Shinobu was enough to make her willing to serve Asato Seiri.
Moreover, in such a vast world, there are countless ways to resurrect people.
Just because Bai Luo can’t do it now doesn’t mean he won’t be able to in the future.
Speaking of the newly promoted children, Butterflies Kanae has a damaged psyche; she will likely follow wherever Butterfly Shinobu goes.
“Is this really good?”
“It’s just changing jobs,” said Bai Luo, “And isn’t it also a good start for them?”
In comparison, the Flame Pillar has a family in this world, with a father and younger brother to take care of.
Tengen Uzui’s situation is similar to Butterfly Shinobu’s.
And Tooru Giyu.
These are the people Bai Luo believes could possibly join under Asato Seiri’s command and possess relatively good character.
Of course, the specific results depend on Asato Seiri’s own choices.
“Step! Step! Step!”
While the two were conversing, the space beside Bai Luo twisted, and then Esdeath emerged from it.
The queen was emitting cold air all over her body, and every step she took caused icy flowers to bloom on the floor.
“This guy is quite durable.”
Esdeath casually threw Doma’s head on the ground: “These demons are hard to kill, but they’re utterly uninteresting.”
She didn’t use the Sun Wheel Blade, yet her control over ice easily suppressed Doma’s regeneration ability.
His limbs were shattered by frost, and his wounds were sealed by ice.
Both being users of ice-based abilities, their power levels differed greatly.
Within just a few exchanges, Esdeath had thoroughly beaten Doma, leaving the queen quite disappointed.
“I thought he’d be some kind of formidable opponent.”
“Just this?”
Esdeath shook her head and no longer paid attention to Doma’s frozen head: “What about that Ghost Dance Muzan?”
“He was dealt with by Tzudoki.”
Bai Luo pointed towards the distant Sword of Damocles: “By now, his ashes have probably been scattered.”
“What a pity.”
Esdeath had originally planned to spar with Ghost Dance Muzan.
Although Muzan may be despicable, his physical strength is undeniable.
Even if Esdeath were to be caught off guard by Muzan’s close-range attacks, facing an endless barrage of strikes would trouble her.
Of course, using the power of the Imperial Treasures, Esdeath could still instantly freeze Muzan.
It’s simply that energy-based powers versus physical-based ones.
Without resistance, the former clearly holds an advantage.
“How are they doing?”
“Kurumi Tiske is doing well; Half-dog’s shadow couldn’t do anything to her.”
Kurumi Tiske’s City of Time Consumption combined with the power of Kukkuruki Emperor and countless shadows completely toyed with Half-dog.
To Kurumi Tiske, Half-dog had become nothing more than a large feast.
Half-dog’s time and life force were continuously being drained, while Kurumi Tiske grew stronger.
In a way, Kurumi Tiske is truly the bane of the demons in the Demon Slayer World.
To put it bluntly, even if you tore Kurumi Tiske into pieces, you’d merely eliminate one of her past shadows.
Demons unable to reach Kurumi Tiske’s true form cannot harm her.
“From the moment the battle began, the outcome was already decided.”
Bai Luo commented on Kurumi Tiske’s battle while focusing on the other two women’s battlefield.
Ace held an absolute advantage.
Since joining the chat group and practicing with Esdeath and Bai Luo, her control and application of superpowers have advanced several levels.
At this moment, Ace was commanding a thunder giant composed of iron sand and metal, relentlessly pursuing Yuhu with overwhelming force.
Yuhu couldn’t touch Ace because the young woman was surrounded by currents of several hundred million volts.
The reason demons fear Hekkido is due to its extreme high temperature.
However, when it comes to high temperatures, the effect of high-voltage electricity surpasses even Hekkido.
This means that if Yuhu were hit by Ace’s iron sand sword, railgun, or even just the electric current, his flesh would immediately carbonize.
“Miho, you’ve grown.”
Esdeath watched Misaka Mikoto’s battle, a smile forming at the corner of her mouth.
Esdeath was pleased to see the gradual growth of those she deemed promising.
“…but here…”
Esdeath observed Qian Renxue who was still evenly matched against Lei and sighed helplessly: “Her combat awareness is really too poor.”
In terms of raw strength, Qian Renxue, who has reached the level of Soul Emperor and possesses the divine-level Battle Spirit of the Six-Winged Angel, should be above Lei.
However, Qian Renxue’s fighting style leaves much to be desired.
Soul techniques released like shortcuts, flashy swordsmanship that looks impressive but lacks substance.
Most importantly, the ultimate fire and ultimate holiness possessed by Qian Renxue’s Battle Spirit failed to exploit any significant weaknesses in Lei.
“The temperature of the flames is nowhere near as high as imagined.”
Esdeath made such remarks about the so-called ultimate fire, which at best scorches Lei’s spider silk.
To advance further, Lei isn’t foolish; he runs, dodges, and resists.
Through their prolonged exchange, Lei has discovered Qian Renxue’s weak point: soul power!
Compared to Lei, who has infinite stamina, Qian Renxue’s consumption is rather immense.
Simply maintaining her Battle Spirit-possessed state consumes a great deal of her mental energy, let alone releasing various soul techniques.
No, if things continue like this, I will surely be the first to collapse!
Qian Renxue wanted to find a way to deal with Lei.
Unfortunately, the ultimate holiness she initially relied upon failed to suppress Lei significantly.
Ultimate holiness leans toward light and contains elements of the sun.
Logically, this should be the most effective restraint against Lei, not to mention the absolute suppression that the Six-Winged Angel has over evil attributes.
Yet, the cursed demon who should fear sunlight continues to jump around lively under the Six-Winged Angel’s assault.
For a moment, Qian Renxue was speechless: Is it reasonable to have such an invincible monster?
