The Ferocious Predator

Shisui, who had planned to watch the show, immediately lost interest after realizing that the two hadn't actually fought.

Bored, I want to see a river of blood. JPG

In a flash, the Ghoul appeared behind Suo Qiaoyun.

The moment Suo Qiaoyun turned around, her Kakugan appeared.

"Ahhh--!"

A painful scream instinctively erupted from Suo Qiaoyun's body.

That pain is caused by a direct attack on the soul, and it is a hundred times more painful than physical torture.

While Suo Qiaoyun was being attacked, Jiqu was retreating little by little, trying to get away.

But all of this was in vain.

The thick fog around them distorted space, causing the Jiqu to move in place but only step by step.

He realized this almost instantly and abandoned his attempt to escape.

Its massive, black body wriggled, and its branching spikes extended like tree branches.

We can't let Suo Qiaoyun die now.

In a one-on-one situation, despite his strong survivability, he is not a top-tier fighter and would definitely be no match for the Ghoul in front of him.

Jiqu knew perfectly well that once Suo Qiaoyun died, he would be next.

He charged forward suddenly, the burst of Psychic Energy briefly blowing away a patch of Feather Powder in front of him.

Then, as Shisui's long sword slashed down, he flung Suo Qiaoyun a little distance behind him.

The long sword plunged into Jiqu's body once more.

This time, the moment Koukaku split the ever-expanding body of the Basket Star Type in two, his body had already healed completely.

Like cutting water with a knife, the flowing blackness consumed a lot of Psychic Energy, but did not suffer serious injury.

Taking advantage of the brief opening after Shisui Sui's strike, Jiqu was about to push back and create distance.

But by then, the Feather Powder that had been briefly blown away had already gathered back together.

Furthermore, because they had been blown away before, this time the amount of Feather Powder that surged in was greater and more concentrated.

It even made the Jiqu, which relied on its outer skin to absorb Psychic Energy from the air, feel a little suffocated.

The moment when the Jiqu movement was restricted and forced to stop.

Shisui Koukaku's longsword suddenly deformed, and Rc Cells regrouped and covered his fist.

Immediately afterwards, Composite Radiant Feathers surged from behind, covering the fist with a layer of feathers.

Then, his fist slammed into the huge black "sea urchin" in front of him.

"Bang!"

The force of the fist tore through space, striking Jiqu with a series of explosive sounds and penetrating his body.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of Radiant Feathers on the fist were detonated.

"Boom--!"

Jiqu heard a loud bang, and then lost his hearing.

A sharp pain shot through him, and his massive body exploded from the inside, scattering black cellular tissue everywhere in an instant.

Only five seconds had passed since the start of the fight, and most of Jiqu's body had disappeared.

Because of the pain, the remaining internal organs and blood vessels trembled with the body's uncontrollable spasms.

Surprisingly, despite suffering such a severe injury, he is still alive.

Furthermore, Jiqu can also manipulate the splattered Undying Cells.

Move them toward the largest, intact piece of the original body, and then re-merge them.

This scene was truly bizarre and physically disturbing.

But Shisui was not frightened by the scene before him.

In his view, the reason why the Jiqu did this was simply to repair itself as quickly as possible by retrieving the scattered limbs.

His Rc Cells also possess similar capabilities, so there's nothing surprising about it.

However, understanding Jiqu's actions is one thing, but whether or not to hinder his recovery is another.

The surrounding Feather Powder surged like ocean waves, quickly engulfing and scattering the Undying Cells.

Invisible barriers rose rapidly, separating the scattered cells and tissues.

As the Kakuhou behind Shisui surged, eight Bikaku suddenly shot out.

The Blade Scales on the Bikaku exploded, swung like a flowing crimson chainsaw, slicing through the Undying Cells and rapidly devouring the Jiqu body.

"Suo Qiaoyun, if you don't help me, you'll be next after I die!"

Jiqu's loud shouts finally awakened Suo Qiaoyun, who was suffering from a splitting headache due to damage to her soul.

She struggled to regain her senses from her dazed state.

Being struck at close range by the energy wave of the Kakugan is extremely unpleasant for the soul.

It almost made her want to escape to a safe place at all costs to absorb life energy and repair herself.

But she was self-aware.

Suo Qiaoyun knew very well that Shisui's strength far surpassed theirs, and with the Spatial Lockdown, their escape route was cut off.

Therefore, she had no choice but to fight a desperate battle.

Now is not the time to dwell on past grievances; only through cooperation will they both have a chance to leave alive.

Fine, dense golden threads rippled across Suo Qiaoyun's body.

As her fingers flew across the paper, she spread out her Motherly Silk like a spider weaving a web to catch insects.

The energy of the Heaven-Controlling Realm, combined with the Motherly Silk, repelled the Feather Powder from this area.

After spending half a second weaving a relatively safe "nest" for herself, Suo Qiaoyun then shifted her focus to the Jiqu ahead.

Countless strands of Motherly Silk pierced the Ghouls waving their Bikaku in the distance.

Jiqu sensed the presence of Motherly Silk, and its black body seemed to yearn to reunite with its temporarily allied forces.

However, this seemingly short distance of less than ten meters felt like an insurmountable chasm.

With the Feather Powder blocking their path, the two sides could only get closer by clearing away the tens of millions of Feather Powder within the ten-meter radius bit by bit.

Before they could successfully reunite, it would have been enough for Shisui to kill Jiqu.

The splattered Undying Cells were quickly devoured.

The Shisui Bikaku towards the Jiqu body that produced the Undying Cells, carrying terrifying energy, and charged forward fiercely.

The fear of death also descended upon them as the Bikaku approached.

The feeling was strangely familiar; he had experienced it countless times during his long life on the Heaven Realm before he achieved immortality.

Jiqu thought he would never feel this way again in his life.

But the reality before him left him no choice but to remain steadfast in his belief.

He knew perfectly well that this part of his body was doomed to die.

Sensing the Undying Cells tissue he had left within the Ten-Thousand-Blade Mountain Range, Jiqu prepared to transfer his soul there.

Giving up this body is naturally not without cost.

But compared to the soul dying with it, any price is acceptable.

The Bikaku pierced through the Jiqu in an instant, tearing apart the massive black body before beginning to devour the Undying Cells.

Intense pain struck, and Jiqu felt as if his flesh was being slowly ground away by blades.

But to ensure the other person felt completely dead, he did not immediately transfer their soul.

Moments later, as his body was completely dismembered into head-sized fragments, his life force rapidly waned.

A large amount of energy was lost, and finally, it vanished as if its soul had dissipated.

Shisui sensed the Jiqu to death.

A question arose in my mind.

He died?

He was captured by the Planetary Will half a year ago, but he held on for a long time, eventually managing to survive until the Planetary Will fell asleep.

How could it have been completely devoured so quickly?

"Looks like I'll have to find some time to search the interior of the Ten-Thousand-Blade Mountain Range."

murmured something softly, and then Shisui shifted his attention to Suo Qiaoyun.

At this moment, Suo Qiaoyun stood within the protective range of a large amount of Motherly Silk, her face ashen.

Jiqu didn't die.

She knew exactly how abnormal the other person's survival skills were.

Leaving aside the fact that the Basket Star Type itself possesses Undying Cells, after so many years of research and modification by the Demon Race, it's impossible that it didn't have a backup plan.

But none of that matters anymore.

Because now it was her turn to face the ferocious Predator not far away.
