Chapter 2495: Chapter 1670: Isn’t Immortality Nice (Is Yan Yun Interested?)

"To be honest, I already guessed you’d lose, but I didn’t expect you to lose so badly."

Duanmu Huai stepped forward, looking at the Nine Pillars, collapsed on the ground. He hadn’t paid attention to the battle here earlier, but seeing them all lying down, it was clear the Nine Pillars were no match for Wu Can.

While speaking, Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at Wu Can in front of him. The latter was a somewhat handsome man, but at this moment, aside from his face, everywhere else was basically a collection of gaping mouths, with several tentacles swaying behind him. To those unaware, he might very well be mistaken for a demon.

Hmm, come to think of it, there’s not much difference from a demon.

"Who are you?"

Wu Can turned his head to stare at Duanmu Huai. Of course, he saw the scene where the latter effortlessly slaughtered his two subordinates. But even so, Wu Can felt no fear of Duanmu Huai. After all, he had an undead body. As long as there was no sun, he was immortal!

"It’s none of your business, just know that you’re about to die."

"Just you?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Wu Can was stunned for a moment, then silently sighed.

"To be honest, I’m tired of all this. I’m really fed up with you ghost hunters."

While speaking, Wu Can looked at the fallen Nine Pillars around him. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Whenever they open their mouths, it’s invariably about avenging the deaths of parents, children, brothers, and sisters. Having narrowly escaped death, isn’t that enough?"

"You, what did you say...!?"

Hearing Wu Can’s words, the Nine Pillars were shocked, but Wu Can just shook his head.

"Even if your family was killed, what can you do about it? Accept the reality of your survival, just continue living your life. Just chalk it up to being an unlucky victim of a catastrophe. There’s no need to overthink death. Torrential rain, fierce winds, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions — no matter how many people these catastrophes kill, no one ever seeks revenge on them."

Wu Can spread his hands, looking at everyone.

"After all, the dead can’t come back to life. Instead of dwelling on the past, find a job and live stably. That’s what most humans would do. Why are you the only ones who won’t? There’s only one reason, and that’s ghost hunters... are all abnormal."

While speaking, Wu Can raised his hand.

"I’m tired of you abnormal humans, let me end it all personally."

"You’re right."

Duanmu Huai nodded, then discarded the longsword and shield in his hand and clenched his fists tightly.

Seeing this, the other Nine Pillars were puzzled, not understanding what Duanmu Huai was doing, except for Chiaki, whose eyes flashed with a gleam.

After all, back then, when facing Upper Moon Three, Duanmu Huai did the same thing!

And his reasoning was...

"Ready to die?"

"Foolish, here, you’ll never be able to kill me!"

Wu Can, with a cold gaze, glanced at Duanmu Huai, then the tentacles behind him suddenly extended, stabbing towards Duanmu Huai like sharp blades!

In the face of Wu Can’s attack, Duanmu Huai neither dodged nor evaded, reaching out directly to grab Wu Can’s flying tentacles.

Then—pulled with force!

Before Wu Can could react to what had happened, a pitch-black iron fist appeared before him and smashed directly into his face!

"Bam!"

Duanmu Huai delivered a right hook to Wu Can’s cheek, knocking him to the ground, then pounced on him, raised both fists, and like a torrential storm, rained down blows on Wu Can’s body!

"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

"Foolish, foolish, what you’re doing is useless, you can’t kill me at all!"

As the Lord of Demons, Wu Can’s regeneration ability was indeed much stronger than other evil spirits. Duanmu Huai’s earlier punch almost blew up his head, but in just a second, Wu Can’s head had restored its original form. This clearly showed that as the Lord of Demons, Wu Can’s regeneration was indeed above that of other evil spirits.

But...

"That’s just perfect!"

"...Eh?"

"This way, I can fulfill my wish! An indestructible punching bag, is there a more entertaining toy?! Hahahahaha!!!"

"You———!"

However, before Wu Can could finish, Duanmu Huai’s fist came crashing down again, easily shattering his teeth and skull, turning his brain into a mush. Yet soon after, Wu Can’s head regained its form, but almost as soon as he recovered, Duanmu Huai’s fist struck down once more!

"Aaaahhh! What you’re doing is meaningless!"

"Hahaha, how is it meaningless? You just can’t die, but you can still feel pain, can’t you?!"

"—————————!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Wu Can felt his blood almost freeze.

Indeed, just as Duanmu Huai said, Wu Can just couldn’t die, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t feel pain. In fact, the pain Duanmu Huai inflicted on him far exceeded that of the Nine Pillars. The reason was simple: most of the Nine Pillars used swords, and because their sword technique was highly advanced, they could often achieve the level of "being hit before the opponent even realized it".

Against other enemies, the Nine Pillars’ sword technique was considered extremely advanced and threatening, but it was useless against fast-regenerating Wu Can. Wu Can didn’t even feel being hit by them; his body automatically regenerated!
