The air was trembling.
The White Tiger is associated with killing and warfare, and is considered an inauspicious deity during the year.
Xia Yan exuded a terrifying killing intent that could freeze the air itself.
As the target of Xia Yan's attack, Spider Brother's mind was frozen by the terrifying killing intent, and he completely lost the ability to think.
In a daze, Xia Yan's figure vanished, replaced by a terrifying divine beast, pure white without a single blemish, resembling a fierce tiger with sharp teeth and claws...
With an indomitable fighting spirit and an unyielding soul, he transforms into a white tiger determined to kill his prey. Any prey that is targeted by those beastly eyes will be captured by his claws and then reduced to fragments under his sharp talons.
The white tiger leaped up and pounced on the giant spider that was standing still. Its sharp claws were like several sharp hooks, tearing through flesh and hooking into bones. Then, as if pulling a rag doll, it pulled the spider back to where Xia Yan was.
bump--
Blood rained down, leaving a crimson trail in the air before crashing heavily in front of Xia Yan.
This process may seem extremely complicated, but it is simply an illusion caused by the brain's reaction speed not keeping up with the visual field.
In reality, when Spider Brother's mangled body fell in front of Xia Yan, the entire process from beginning to end was only a fleeting moment.
brush--
There was no obstruction; it was as if a red-hot knife were cutting into butter.
After the blade sliced across the neck, a head covered in white hair crashed heavily onto the grass. Before it completely disappeared, the bewilderment on its face was still clearly visible, and its eyes were filled with terror and despair.
"Tsk, really, you're so ugly and you still dare to show your face in front of me? You're asking for death!"
The spider's corpse turned to dust, and the stench in the air instantly lessened considerably.
Xia Yan flicked the knife with a hint of disgust, as if it had gotten dirty.
Even though not a single drop of blood remained on the blade during the decapitation process.
In reality, even if there were any bloodstains left, they would dissipate along with the ghost's corpse, and there would be no bloodstains left.
But there was nothing we could do; the ghost was just too disgusting to look at, and it smelled awful too.
It's like when you're wearing your favorite custom-made designer shoes and you accidentally step on a caterpillar on the street. Even if you know it's no big deal that the soles are dirty, you still can't help but rub them on the ground a few times.
If it weren't for the fact that one must use a Nichirin Blade to behead an oni to kill it, Natsuhiko wouldn't want his sword to touch that thing.
Chapter 385 I'll Chase You, If I Win You
After dealing with the Spider Demon, Xia Yan looked up at the unlucky guys hanging in mid-air, who had been poisoned.
Although the disgusting giant spider was dead, the people showed no signs of improvement; clearly, the poison did not disappear with the ghost's death.
Since Xia Yan's action was a sudden whim, he was not followed by any members of "Yin" who were responsible for cleaning up the mess.
While it's possible to take the person back after he's resolved everything, it's not something that offers any benefit. Perhaps JOJO Natsuhiko with his Golden Spirit would do it, but Natsuhiko is probably too lazy to do it.
So I simply gave them a quick death.
"Actually, I don't usually defeat my opponents so easily..."
"After all, taking down my opponent too quickly would take away a lot of the fun."
Despite having already defeated the elite monster in the first map, Xia Yan showed no intention of heading to the next mission location. Instead, he stayed put and began talking to himself.
"Comparatively speaking, I prefer the feeling of letting the prey escape first, and then slowly chasing and toying with it, watching them constantly try to survive, and finally seeing them despair little by little."
"However, this ghost is so ugly and smelly, it's disgusting and makes me completely lose interest."
"If you really want to make a game, you need to find people who are at least somewhat presentable to work with, don't you think? —"
Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling flash of light appeared.
Wow – Wow –
bump--! ! !
Not far behind Xia Yan, a large tree that two people could barely encircle slowly fell to the ground, revealing a female ghost hiding behind the tree with a frozen expression.
"—This ghost lady?"
Xia Yan looked at the female ghost who was spying on him with great interest.
She is around fourteen years old, somewhere between a loli and a teenage girl.
She had long, snow-white hair hanging straight down her back, styled into four braids, secured at the ends with beads; two braids hung down her shoulders, and two hung down her back.
With Rui, the fifth Upper Moon, personally overseeing the redesign, his appearance is quite refined, but by the average standards of this world, he can only be described as average-looking.
His face still bore the red, beaded ghost markings.
Unlike her brother, a spider demon who is a grotesque ghost and doesn't need to wear clothes, the girl wore a snow-white kimono decorated with spider webs.
However, she is the female ghost who plays the role of 'older sister' in the spider ghost family's pretend play game.
As the saying goes, if you want to look good, wear mourning clothes.
Her snow-white hair, snow-white skin, and snow-white kimono added a touch of charm to this female ghost who had passed the "loli" expiration date but could not fully display her girlish beauty.
If Xia Yan were to give it a rating, it would probably be around 83 points.
Unlike Xia Yan, who still has the leisure to appreciate and evaluate his opponents, and even make scores.
The little ghost looked at Xia Yan, who had so casually pulled her out, with an expression as if she were an ordinary person who had seen a ghost.
Because of his extremely pale complexion, no change in facial expression could be seen. However, his terrified eyes and the cold sweat on his forehead clearly indicated the unease he was experiencing.
"Huh? Aren't you going to run away? And you say that even after seeing how I killed that stinky spider, you still have the confidence to be my enemy?"
Seemingly just coming to her senses, the female ghost, reminded by Xia Yan's words, turned and ran away without a word.
Although it wasn't a demon skilled in physical combat or speed, it still unleashed remarkable speed thanks to its physique, which far surpassed that of ordinary demons.
If you participate in the Olympics or something, even if you don't know any sports skills, you could easily win a world championship.
"Hey, that's more like it, so—"
Watching the girl scatter with her head in her hands, Xia Yan smiled with satisfaction and followed her at a leisurely pace.
"—The game has started!"
……
"Hmph hmph hahahaha, run! Run faster!"
"Ugh—"
In the moonlit forest, echoes of slightly sickly, hearty laughter mingled with the occasional screams of a young girl.
A helpless, white-haired girl was seen fleeing in panic, tears welling in her eyes.
Behind her followed a tall man wielding a long sword with a sinister smile on his face, who would occasionally leave a wound on the girl's body.
He looks just like a psychopathic killer from a movie.
If it weren't for the deep, bone-revealing wounds on the girl's body, which could heal in the blink of an eye, it would be truly impossible to tell who was human and who was a ghost.
'Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck!'
'Why is this happening?! He's just a demon slayer, how can he be so strong?!'
'Why did that idiot die so easily?!?'
At this moment, Spider Demon Sister was filled with endless regret and remorse.
Why would I have nothing better to do than come here and join in the fun?!
Although each 'family member' has their own area of responsibility, they are not required to stay there indefinitely.
What Lei wants is for his family to protect him as the youngest brother, and for the intruder to be killed (613). The process is not important.
Since receiving the power bestowed by Lei, decades of peaceful life had long since worn away Spider Sister's vigilance.
Therefore, after discovering through the bio-location of Mount Natagumo that Natsuhiko had chosen the direction of the Spider Demon's older brother, the Spider Demon's older sister, out of curiosity, decided to come and see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, what they saw was Spider Brother's execution livestream.
That couldn't even be called a fight. The opponent only used one move, as casually as if he had just swatted a passing bug!
This means that if this demon hunter wanted to kill him, he would only need one move!
No, it might be even easier than that.
Although I'm reluctant to admit it, my 'older brother,' that slightly mentally unstable guy, is more talented and stronger than me.
"I'll chase you, and if I catch you, I'll...hehehehe..."
Hearing Xia Yan's teasing words coming from right behind her, Spider Demon Sister mustered all the strength she had when she was still human.
The speed, which had already reached its limit, was barely increased by another half percent through desperate efforts.
Although she didn't know what Xia Yan meant by "hehehe," it was clear that whatever it was, it wasn't the result she wanted!
Chapter 386 The General Takes This Side Path
Although she was fleeing in a disheveled state, Spider Sister wasn't running around aimlessly.
Even her cries of pain were deliberately feigned as pitiful.
Although that pain was not fake.
She knew very well that Xia Yan was just playing around and that he wasn't really unable to catch up with her.
If you make the other party lose interest, even if you run a hundred meters ahead, you will be instantly killed.
After all, the 'brother' who was just killed with a single blow serves as a cautionary tale.
The murderous intent that seemed to freeze one's soul, and the feeling of being torn apart by the terrifying white tiger's claws, were enough to terrify anyone who looked at them, rendering them unable to move.
If he weren't a ghost, he probably would have wet his pants from fright.
Therefore, simply running away will not allow you to escape.
Spider Sister's goal is to take advantage of Xia Yan's desire to see him as a plaything and lure him to the area where 'Dad' is.
As for whether Spider Demon Daddy could defeat Xia Yan, that was not within her consideration. It would be best if he could, but if he couldn't, she would find a way to escape while the two sides were fighting.
After all, it was just a game of make-believe, and everyone was a complete stranger, so there wasn't much genuine emotion involved.
