CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 15: THE WARRING STATES’ NO. 1 GREAT DEMON AND HER USELESS TAGALONG

Hidechika walked towards the cemetery, her solitary figure with a single knife bravely meeting the gigantic creature as large as a small mountain, exuding a formidable aura, which alone could shroud the space within a few hundred meters in the "Constant Dark Domain".

The creature, initially searching around the cemetery, seemed to be wandering for some reason, immediately sensed her presence when the girl approached, and the enormous ox head suddenly turned, its blood-red eyes instantly emitted an intimidating bloodlight, letting out an excited howl!

The next moment, the heavy, gigantic beast opened its hooves, dragging a massive Nail Hammer Iron Rod, charging towards the girl!

This terrifying weight, whether it’s the ox-headed creature or its weapon itself, the combined weight is already extremely frightening, akin to a locomotive rushing at maximum speed, with a creepy momentum that even uplifted the ground ahead, and any grave mounds, tombstones were instantly smashed to pieces!

Yet, facing such a terrifying giant beast charge, which makes one feel insignificant in comparison, the girl also quickened her pace, confronting it head-on.

In the midst of the howling, the Ox-headed Ghost suddenly swung the gigantic Nail Hammer Iron Rod dragged behind it, and the sound of the wind was instantly sharp and shrill, but it was covered by a thunderous roar that lasted less than a blink of an eye, and even the ground shook fiercely!

With immense force, the massive Nail Hammer Iron Rod smashed down forcefully!

In the turbulent wind raised by the explosive shockwave, earth and stone fragments splattered in all directions, the ground was hammered to sink, and enormous cracks spread rapidly towards all directions like lightning, the power of this strike, let alone being hit on a human body, would instantly render a main battle tank so obliterated that its original form would be unrecognizable.

But in the next second, amid the explosive impact, a cold light burst forth, effortlessly slicing through the fierce winds.

An overbearing and dazzling slash traced a deadly and perfect arc, time seemed to freeze at this moment, in a background of frozen space, the silhouette of the black-haired girl appeared behind the Ox-headed Ghost, maintaining a stance so stunningly beautiful yet elegantly and accurately swung a slash forward—

She didn’t know how but managed to dodge that extremely fierce strike while simultaneously swinging her attack!

The ferocious wind was suddenly shredded by the blade light, although there was no blood light blooming, but accompanied by a sound like shattering glass, countless crystal-clear golden light points burst forth in the air, brilliant essence reflecting a lustrous jade-like radiance!

"Roar——!!"

The piercing howl was earth-shattering, the Ox-headed creature that was just ferocious beyond compare, at this moment seemed to lose the power to support its body instantly, collapsing feebly to the ground, let alone wave that heavy weapon, even its sturdy arms and head suddenly drooped powerlessly.

The Constant Dark Domain covering the surroundings disappeared.

On the head of the Ox-headed Ghost, the twin, sky-reaching, crystal-like yellow jade horns, as if containing flowing essence, also dimmed down just like the pair of red eyes, and only the base of the horns remained.

——because both horns were cut and shattered at the base in the previous slash!

The girl Ah Xiu, who had always lived alone, exterminating demons as her profession, was very aware that, for most Demon Ghosts, their Ghost Horns were a weakness... although this was relative, like this Ox-headed Ghost, its Ghost Horns were equally its most powerful and deadly weapon.

So, if the Ghost Horns themselves were fragile and easily damaged, how could they be used as weapons?

It was precisely because the Ghost Horns were so hard as to be seemingly indestructible that they became the Ox-headed Ghost’s strongest weapon, so even knowing that breaking these horns would defeat this terrifying demon ghost, yet most people still couldn’t accomplish it, adding to the useless trivia.

However, Ah Xiu was not among them, and she wasn’t an ordinary person.

Turning around, she gave the sword a flick, as if habitually flicking away nonexistent blood on the blade, at the same time quickly walking towards the Ox-headed Ghost.

"Roar!"

Perhaps sensing the danger to its life, even the recently gravely wounded Ox-headed Ghost was struggling and roaring, quickly forcing itself back up, seemingly preparing for a desperate counterattack.

......

Watching everything happening from a distance, the brief yet seemingly thrilling confrontation came to an end, Gu Mo couldn’t help but show a look of admiration.

So strong, and really so cool!

Even though he knew the girl wouldn’t have any problems, seeing such effortless and fluid performance still made him a bit amazed, that beauty, that precision, that ease, at the moment the clash ended, she managed to harm the enemy without sustaining any damage herself, nearly leaving the enemy half-dead.

He exhaled gently, feeling completely relieved, and it seemed this instance was no longer problematic, in just a short moment, the situation had completely reversed from before.

A few minutes prior, Gu Mo was still the weak, pitiful, and helpless one, in the whole scene, possibly the weakest apart from corpses, no matter what, he could never clear this scene relying on his own power—if the requirement was indeed defeating the monsters to pass.

Even in the game, he had to die so many times, he was just an ordinary person, where would he get the confidence to say he could clear with one life during a real-life reenactment.
