I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 363 - 21: Demonization (Part 2)
The woman’s expression turned ferocious.
The Witch naturally didn’t care about the anger of the demon opposite her. She calmly drew another arrow from her quiver, pointing it at Kaguya in the distance.
"That sword... best use it cautiously, don’t force it."
She spoke softly, not looking in Gu Mo’s direction, but it was obvious she was talking to him.
Because the incident happened rather suddenly, she didn’t have a chance to stop the person from drawing the demon sword. But after confirming that the other party wasn’t directly controlled by the demon sword, turning mindless and murderous, as legendary tales described, she let out a slight sigh of relief and still offered her advice.
"Understood... there won’t be any problems."
Gu Mo nodded in agreement, also looking in Kaguya’s direction. As the Witch released another arrow, he also swung his sword horizontally, sweeping a massive slash. However, the striking brilliance was not as pure and radiant as usual, but instead overflowed with a pitch-black chaotic color.
Even though the demon sword temporarily transformed into one of the Ninety-nine Weapons, it still retained its inherent evil and power attribute. White Viper’s power forcibly harnessed this strength, but in assimilating it into one of the Ninety-nine Weapons, it also became tainted with a pitch-black hue.
—No longer having scales or beauty like fine snow.
—But instead, a massive, pitch-black, incredibly ferocious serpent.
"Wishful thinking! I am immortal!"
Kaguya’s figure blurred, with illusory cherry blossoms scattering at her original position. Throwing down such a harsh remark, she vanished from her spot, dodging the Witch’s Demon-Breaking Arrow and Gu Mo’s slash amid the swirling cherry blossom spell.
The gleam of the Demon-Breaking Arrow and the Ninety-nine Weapons crisscrossed in mid-air, dazzling brilliantly for a moment before disappearing. Although the attack was spectacular and well-coordinated, it indeed had no effect.
"She’s heading for that object..."
The Witch slightly raised her eyebrows, instantly sensing from the demonic aura that this demon seemed intent on seizing the object and leaving immediately.
The next moment, she frowned and glanced sideways, noticing that a certain figure was no longer by her side.
Leveraging his enhanced physicality from being demonized, Gu Mo, whose athletic abilities had rapidly improved, made several leaps and landed on the street, just in time to block in front of Hojo and others, unceremoniously slashing forward with a sword in mid-air. Kaguya reappeared, sneering angrily and disdainfully, extending her slender jade hand to grab the dark demon sword’s blade.
This casual arrogance she felt to the fullest... however, acting cool often leads to consequences, and the next second, the woman’s brow furrowed, her expression startled.
"Commendable courage!"
Gu Mo had already let out a light laugh, exerting force on the sword hilt in his hand, making Cloudy Fang’s blade swiftly spin.
With the celestial maiden body devoured, this vicious woman truly felt like she had achieved an indestructible golden body, able to withstand the blade of the Iron Shattering Fang with bare hands, showing no fear at all. With such confidence, believing she could block a demon blade with her body, she dared to act reckless, but this sword wasn’t an ordinary demon blade.
Even without using the secret technique, the demon sword remained extremely dangerous.
Even those killed purely by the blade would turn into soulless zombies, becoming puppets of Cloudy Fang.
"You...!!"
Just moments ago, the particularly arrogant Kaguya retracted her hand as if electrocuted, but even with a fast reaction, she was still wounded by the unmatched sharpness, with a spray of black blood splashing into the air, nearly losing her fingers to Cloudy Fang!
"This sword, how could it..."
Kaguya retreated a distance, looking at the wound on her hand turning black, the oozing blood turning pitch-black too, filled with shock and anger. The pitch-black blade of the sword had an exceptionally fierce demonic poison, and even with her pure celestial maiden body, she was being slowly corroded by the toxin.
However, she was only briefly surprised, after all, this injury wasn’t too painful for her, and although the poison was fierce, it merely overpowered the passive recovery of her immortal body... She coldly clasped her fingers, a purple glow flashed, the wound healed completely, and the toxin was expelled. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Give me that box of yours..."
Gu Mo focused all his attention on Kaguya, speaking loudly to Hojo behind him without turning his head.
"Ah? Sure... okay..."
Hojo, catching on, nodded repeatedly without hesitation, stepping forward to hand over the box.
Though filled with confusion, he knew what he must do right now... even though he didn’t understand the situation between the two parties, the fact that Kaguya attacked him directly was undeniable; he could only place his hopes on the other side.
"Die!"
With eyes burning with anger, Kaguya turned the mirror, and destructive purple death light was about to burst out, intending to kill everyone in front of her.
Yet at this moment, another Demon-Breaking Arrow flew through the air, the sound lagging behind the arrow, and as it whistled in, the arrow nearly hit the mirror accurately.
A hand emerged abruptly, catching the arrow that broke through several times the speed of sound, the spiritual power shining brilliantly in her hand, a visible blue smoke rising. However, the damage wasn’t severe, and the burn mark on her palm quickly faded away, her jade-like skin becoming smooth and tight again.
