This time, the Iceman wasn't just attacking by waving his folding fan.
As the folding fan gracefully fell, layers of frost suddenly condensed in the air. These icicles, like sharp blades, were driven by an invisible force, carrying a biting cold current, and rushed straight towards Kanae.
Although Kanae had already seen the frost wrapped in the folding fan, the change came abruptly. The Nichirin Blade had already been swung out, and her consciousness had no time to command her body to use the sword form to resist.
"Keng"
A crisp metallic clang rang out as Kanae, with her exceptional reflexes, managed to deflect most of the frost by colliding her Nichirin Blade with her folding fan.
However, just as waves crash against the shore, there are always tiny fragments that can penetrate the defenses. Those tiny ice crystals, like sharp shards, crossed the Nichirin Blade's defenses and shot towards Kanae.
At this critical moment, Kanae's body seemed to have been tempered a thousand times, automatically making the optimal evasive maneuver without much conscious intervention.
Her figure was like a butterfly dancing in the cold wind, light and agile, leaping back several meters in an instant, skillfully avoiding the pursuit of most of the ice crystals.
Only a few tiny ice crystals eventually struck Kanae's Demon Slayer Corps uniform, producing a series of soft, dense "plop" sounds.
Thanks to the Demon Slayer Corps ' uniforms being tough enough, the ice crystals did not penetrate the uniforms and cause damage.
"Clap clap clap..."
An untimely round of applause erupted from the other side of the battlefield, and Kanae looked toward Doma.
Wow! You actually reacted to that? You're amazing!
Exaggerated words came from Doma's mouth, and although they sounded like praise, Kanae felt a sense of unease.
"It's rare to see someone so strong when they're clearly a girl!"
Kanae frowned but did not reply.
Seeing that Kanae didn't intend to reply, Doma didn't mind and gently unfolded his folding fan in front of him.
Several small ice figures slowly took shape in front of the Doma ).
"Keep it up!"
Teasing words came from Doma's mouth, and then several small ice figures rushed towards Kanae.
As she watched Doma effortlessly conjured several more small ice figures, Kanae's brows furrowed deeply, a sense of unprecedented gravity rising within her.
The little ice golems she had just seen made her realize that these little ice golems were not just simple physical attack tools; they could actually unleash some of the Blood Demon Art abilities of Upper Rank Two.
In this situation, the little ice man in front of us can almost be described as a Lower Rank version of the Upper Rank Two.
"Clang," "Clang," "Clang"...
The dense clanging of metal echoed across the battlefield like a torrential downpour, each collision accompanied by a shower of sparks, demonstrating the intensity and brutality of the battle.
Unlike before when there was only one little ice figure, this time five little ice figures launched an attack simultaneously. They coordinated perfectly, and their offensive was relentless, making Kanae feel unprecedented pressure and challenge.
She began to think.
He had initially thought that since he was only fighting the little ice man, he could buy himself some more time.
Could it be that I've fallen into Upper Rank Two's trap instead?
Upper Rank Two isn't actually good at close combat, so could this little ice figure be Upper Rank Two's strongest killing move?
The sword light flashed continuously on the battlefield, each flash accompanied by a crisp "clang".
Vines, petals, lotus-shaped ice crystals, and all sorts of Blood Demon Art attacked Kanae from time to time.
But all of these attacks were evaded by Kanae's skillful dodging or her Nichirin Blade.
Kanae is now facing a choice.
Is the plan to use a sword technique to wipe out all the small ice golems around him, then attack Upper Rank Two, betting that Upper Rank Two isn't good at close combat?
Or should we just keep stalling for time?
If you bet wrong, it means you'll be facing the strongest opponent of the Upper Rank!
At that time, I will have no way to survive!
Kanae's mind raced with thoughts, and as the battle raged on, fine beads of sweat began to appear Ueya her forehead.
However, at this tense moment, Kanae failed to notice a subtle change.
As the Ice People frequently unleashed their Blood Demon Art and she fought back with all her might with her Nichirin Blade, the scattered ice crystals on the battlefield gradually turned into fine powder, silently spreading through the air.
At this moment, the air around the battlefield was shrouded in a light blue mist, which was slowly deepening.
far away.
Doma gazed at Kanae, who was struggling to resist, a sickly smile crept onto his lips.
She raised one hand to support her cheek, and licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.
"What a wonderful day! To meet such a powerful girl. If I were to devour her, my strength would surely increase significantly!"
Thinking of this, Doma's body trembled involuntarily, and his eyes glared at Kanae with fanaticism.
On the battlefield.
Kanae was still wielding her Nichirin Blade with all her might.
Abrupt.
"Cough cough..."
A slight, instinctive cough disrupted Kanae's defensive rhythm, and the little ice figure on the battlefield seized the opportunity to launch a swift attack on Kanae.
The lotus-shaped ice crystals rapidly magnified before Kanae's eyes.
Not only was there an attack in front of her, but Kanae was also surrounded by attacks from other small ice figures.
Lotus flowers, vines, petals, icicles—all sorts of ice crystals surrounded Kanao and rapidly approached Kanae.
At this moment, the situation was extremely urgent.
" Flower Breathing Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum "
The clear, crisp sound pierced through the clamor of the battlefield.
"Exhausted"
The sword light bloomed on the battlefield like plum blossoms, accompanied by a sharp "clanging" sound, shattering the incoming ice crystals one by one, and the little ice man was also forced back several meters by this force.
"Cough cough..."
She coughed lightly to relieve her discomfort, Kanae quickly assessed her own condition.
The bone-chilling cold that surged through her lungs startled Kanae.
During the fight, my lungs were working at high speed and I didn't feel it, but now that the fight has stopped, I immediately feel the chill coming from my lungs.
As she practiced her Breathing Style, a cool sensation emanated from her nasal cavity, accompanied by a stinging pain in her lungs. Kanae seemed to realize something.
His gaze swept around.
A cold, blue mist had somehow enveloped the entire battlefield.
This demon's Blood Demon Art can leave a chilling aura in the air; would inhaling it damage a person's lungs?
Kanae quickly understood the reason, and as she did so, a look of despair, as deep as an abyss, appeared in her eyes.
Did you get infected again?
"Hahaha..."
In the distance, Doma's laughter drifted over.
"We've been discovered? But it's a bit too late..."
Words of joy and regret echoed in her ears, Kanae, in her desperate situation, seemed to have discovered something.
His gaze was fixed on Doma's figure.
"You"
"Is it because you can't understand human emotions?"
