Gyutaro had been cut down by this guy too?!
He had been only a second too late.
The furious Muzan had already caught up with Xia Xi.
This time, Muzan did not continue attacking with those sharp, fast whips.
Instead, he used his Blood Demon Art to gather a massive amount of energy in front of his chest.
With Muzan's killing intent,
an enormous, dazzling sphere of light that had no business appearing at night instantly burst forth with him at its center.
It was an astonishing mixture of lightning and plasma flames.
In an instant, it lit up the entire battlefield.
In less than a second, it engulfed Xia Xi and the remains of Gyutaro and his sister, which had yet to dissipate completely.
Even Kazetoriin, who had already begun retreating according to plan nearby, turned back in astonishment at this terrifying strike.
Had there just been thunder over where Xia Xi was?
That was not the sword intent of Thunder Breathing, visible only to Swordsmen, but actual, outrageous lightning capable of illuminating the night sky.
She was still hesitating over whether to turn back and help Xia Xi again.
But the very next second, Sister Xianyu received his message in the channel.
[Holy shit, shit! That old bastard actually had another big move up his sleeve! Almost fried my hair!]
After hearing Xia Xi's remarkably lively voice,
Kazetoriin and the other members of the Nine Hashira watching this area could not help smiling.
Xia Xi was still this energetic.
It looked like he was fine.
Meanwhile, Muzan, who had just unleashed that outrageous attack, took a few shallow breaths amid the thick smoke.
Using his Blood Demon Art this time felt much more strenuous than before.
Was it because he had exhausted so much stamina resisting the poison?
