Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 58 fierce battle

For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and with the sound of the blade breaking through the air, a huge arc-shaped slash with a radius of 40 meters appeared.

A huge roar sounded, and the mountain walls on both sides were forcibly cut off by the executioner's knife. Xin Lailai, who was within the attack range, did not even have time to make any unnecessary movements, and his body was directly hit by this knife. Split in half from the middle.

Boom--!
A large number of rocks rolled down, directly crushing Xin Lailai's body into a puddle of flesh.

The executioner landed on the top of the pile of fallen rocks and glanced at the blood bar that had slipped away from the edge of his sight. After being silent for a while, and just as he was about to leave, his blue pupils suddenly condensed.

In the sky, shells fell from the sky one after another!

Without any hesitation, the executioner, who realized that he had no time to rush out of the range of the artillery fire, decisively gathered a thick shield of death energy to block himself, and then jumped to the corner.

Bang-!
The next second, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and dazzling fire broke out in the narrow mountain path.

After several minutes, the bombardment finally ended. At this time, most of the mountain walls on both sides had been blown down, and the collapsed rocks directly buried all traces of the battle.

The smell of burning trees began to fill the air, and the mountain forests affected by the shelling began to burn.

Immediately after—

boom!
The dark breath burst out, instantly blasting away all the rubble on top of him. The executioner stood there, his blue pupils staring at the sky. The next second...

Chong——!
Xin Lailai's figure was seen falling from the sky, and the blade in his hand used the kinetic energy brought by the fall to hit the blade in the hand of the deceased.

The body of the executioner sank suddenly, but then she saw a sudden force on her waist, and with a turn of her wrist, she directly directed all the force of Xin Lailai's sword aside.

Xin Lailai's center of gravity, who was above him, was suddenly unbalanced, but there was no trace of panic in his eyes. He directly let go of the blade in his hand, and a spell chip was instantly generated. His legs suddenly exerted force, and he directly completed a normal human in mid-air. A physically impossible turn.

Waterwheel·Change!
The magic chip was attached to his heel. Xin Lailai's body turned in the air and hit the executioner's head hard with his right foot.

Bang!
A small shield of death energy condensed and shattered after blocking Xin Lailai for a brief moment. But at this moment of opportunity, the executioner responded directly.

"Roar--!!"

With an angry roar, the majestic cellular energy and death energy intertwined into a terrifying storm, instantly blasting Xin Lailai away.

Stab it--!
The blade wiped out a series of sparks on the mountain wall. Xin Lailai stabilized his body in mid-air and stared at the executioner in front of him.

The body surface of the executioner was suddenly covered by pitch-black armor. In the center of the armor was a ferocious-looking Shura ghost, with claw-like things wrapped around the limbs and head, forming a helmet and armor.

Is this this guy's vampire technique?
There was a solemn look in Xin Lailai's eyes.

He had previously inquired about the vampire form of the executioner from Ling Yuzi. Because of this, he showed such a serious expression.

'After the executioner used the vampire surgery, her speed, strength and defense suddenly increased a lot. Hei Shimo who originally suppressed her had no time to react before his head was chopped off. '

"Your purpose is probably to drag me here."

The executioner's voice sounded. She looked at Xin Lailai in front of her and walked towards him step by step.

"Let me guess, how many heads did you bury in this mountain? One hundred, two hundred? Or more?"

Because of the helmet, the executioner's cold voice sounded a bit muddy, but this made her more oppressive.

"What? Is it because you are preparing a big move that you suddenly spoke?"

Xin Lailai deliberately teased, while his dark pupils were always staring at the other party's actions.

"It's nothing, just because you can do it to this extent, I can tell you one thing."

The executioner spoke calmly, the black blade in her hand slowly moved to the top of her head, and then she said:

"You are... too weak now."

Xin Lailai's pupils shrank suddenly, and due to this moment of slowness, the executioner moved instantly.

Underworld Cut·Cut off the flow!

The same move, but this time, the executioner's sword swing was much faster than before. Almost as soon as Xin Lailai heard the sound, he saw that the opponent's slash had already reached his eyes.

No, this knife...

He can't get out of the way!

boom--!
The pitch-black death energy burst into the sky, splitting the entire mountain road into two. Xin Lailai's body froze in place, and then suddenly turned into a ball of black ashes and collapsed.

This time, the executioner did not choose to wait, he looked directly in a certain direction, and then stepped heavily. His whole body instantly rose into the sky like a cannonball. Amidst the shattering sound of the ground, he landed on a tree nearly a hundred meters high. The top of the mountain wall.

Then, without any hesitation, the executioner rushed straight towards the direction locked by the death gaze like a dark sharp arrow.

……

In an abandoned cave.

The wooden basin filled with blood seemed to be boiling. Xin Lailai's body quickly formed and rushed out from it. Then, he grabbed the dead soldier beside him and shouted:

"Send a signal flare immediately and let them launch a second round of artillery fire."

"Yes, my lord."

The dead man obeyed the order and rushed out of the cave without any hesitation, but the next second——

boom!
The dark figure slammed into the cave like a cannonball. Xin Lailai's pupils shrank suddenly, and when he was about to resist, a dark blade flashed across his body in an instant.

Heck!

Before losing consciousness, Xin Lailai looked at the slender figure wearing pitch black armor in his field of vision and suddenly realized a huge omission in his plan.

Although he had tried his best to overestimate the executioner's strength, only now did he realize that he... probably underestimated the opponent's terror.

"The third."

A cold voice came, and Xin Lailai's consciousness completely fell into darkness.

……

"the fourth."

"the fifth."

……

……

"176."

"177."

……

"Hu... huh!"

In the abandoned wooden house, Xin Lailai suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking unnaturally.

No delay!

Without any hesitation, Xin Lailai pushed away the dead man beside him, turned into a shadow, and ran towards the outside of the wooden house.

170 five times!
After the executioner used the vampire technique, in this hour and a half, he was killed by the opponent a total of 170 times!
On average, he will die basically every 30 seconds. In addition, it takes about 15 to 25 seconds to reshape his body every time he is resurrected. In other words, it takes about 5 to 10 seconds every time he opens his eyes. After that, he will be killed by the executioner who is chasing him!

"We have to find a way out of this lock!"

Xin Lailai felt the vague gaze. After looking around, his eyes locked on a gap in the mountain. Without any hesitation, he pounced directly.

The next second, a dark slash fell from the sky and landed where Xin Lailai was.

Earth and rocks splashed, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

"Are you a step slower this time?"

She looked at her feet, her eyes seemed to penetrate the rocks, and she saw Xin Lailai curled up in the crevices of the rocks below.

"In that case..." She glanced at the armor on her body that was constantly shaking slightly, her eyes moved slightly, and she slowly raised the black blade.

"Roar--!!"

An astonishing roar erupted from the armor on her body, and the armor on the executioner was separated from her body, gathered behind her, and turned into an evil ghost, rapidly expanding.

Vampire Art·Year Armor Shura.

This is the vampire technique she has mastered. In the [Karma Armor] state, it greatly improves physical attributes and defense, but it will undergo a gradually increasing willpower judgment every minute. If the judgment fails, it will immediately suffer a strong backlash.

As for the [Shura] state, she abandons all defenses, liberates the karma armor, and turns it into Shura. In this state, her defense power will be greatly reduced, but the benefits in exchange are...

[[Shura Effect] has been activated, and the next attack will be strengthened into [Shura Strike] based on the duration of [Karma Armor]. 】

[The current [Shura Strike] effect is: the next attack strength increases by 450%]

——The ultimate and terrifying attack power.

Underworld Cut·Cut off the flow!

As the executioner swung the sword, a huge black blade also appeared in the hand of the tall Shura figure behind her, and he swung the sword with the executioner.

For a moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet for a moment, and then...

boom!
The entire ground was lifted up at a speed visible to the naked eye. The mountain peak about [-] meters high in front of him split into two in an instant, cracking along with the entire earth.

"178."

The executioner put away the black blade, and the Shura behind him slowly disappeared.

But before the Shura behind him had dissipated, the executioner took out two bottles of potion and drank it in one gulp, allowing the depleted mana and cell energy to begin to recover quickly.

Then, she smashed the blade against the ground, the death energy and cell energy exploded, and the dark armor condensed again.

Xin Lai Lai is indeed difficult, the executioner admitted.

But she also has her own confidence. In other words, it is precisely because she is also good at calculations that she understands one thing better:

——In the face of absolute crushing strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just powerless clouds.

[*Tips: Due to the intervention of external factors, the duration of the death gaze has been reduced by 3 minutes]

Suddenly, a reminder sounded.

"Already trying to break the death stare?"

The executioner glanced at the content of the prompt, and a glimmer of light flashed across his blue pupils.

She naturally knew Xin Lailai's purpose of guiding her here.

——The other party wanted the Demon Slayer Squad to kill Muzan, while he came to hold her back.

Muzan Kibutsuji and Tanjiro... no matter which one of these two people dies early, her assessment mission will fail.

It can be said that from the surface, the risk of pursuing her is huge. After all, if she followed Muzan and Tongmo and teleported to the Demon Slayer team, the outcome of the current battle would have been decided long ago.

But the executioner also had his own purpose.

If the opponent can be exempted from the main punishment once, there may be a second or third time, so she cannot place her hope on this aspect.

But allowing such a powerful enemy to return to Paradise alive is an intolerable risk for the executioner, especially since the Lai Lai Cult that the opponent backs is by no means a sect that is easy to mess with.

Not only that……

A strong sense of desire flashed through the executioner's blue pupils.

This was the first time she had encountered an enemy like Xin Lailai. For her, who had easily crushed her in the previous two derivative worlds, this was an experience she had never had before.

Although it was not stated explicitly, the executioner knew very well:

She... was enjoying this battle.

This was the first time she had encountered an enemy that gave her such pleasure.

Therefore, she took the initiative to accept Xin Lailai's "invitation" and stepped into this trap.

——She will bring this battle to an end with her own hands.

——This is her respect for the strong ones who are equal to herself.

……

After an hour and a half.

"Cough...cough!"

Xin Lailai coughed violently and had severe hallucinations in front of his eyes due to experiencing a large number of death feelings in a short period of time.

This was his 326th death.

He finally understood why Meimou had given up any hope for him to defeat the executioner!
——This TM is not a monster that a normal first-order contractor can defeat!

Xin Lailai can now be 100% sure that the executioner's strength is definitely higher than that of Muzan Kibutsuji!

"Calm down, now is not the time to think wildly."

The chaotic thoughts only lasted less than a second before Xin Lailai calmed down and opened the transparent world, and then entered a deep meditation state in less than two seconds.

For a moment, Xin Lailai's mind became ethereal and calm, and his thoughts began to deepen rapidly. A vague outline began to appear in his mind, and it quickly became clear.

Thanks to the blessings of the dead, due to the stimulation brought by a large number of deaths, and the help of the transparent world, Xin Lailai completed in one and a half hours what other people who have mastered deep meditation theoretically need a month to complete - —Perceive your own spiritual world in a meditative state.

Without any hesitation, the moment he sensed the mental space, Xin Lailai immediately guided his mental power to hit a location with ease.

boom!
The uncertain space trembled suddenly, a muffled groan sounded, wisps of blood spilled from Xin Lailai's mouth and nose, and a strong tingling sensation came from his brain.

But at the same time, the illusory blue eye located in his mental space became even more illusory.

A few seconds later, Xin Lailai, who had recovered a little from the severe pain in his head, opened his eyes and looked at the executioner who still hadn't arrived, his eyes moving slightly.

"An hour and a half?"

He clearly remembered that an hour and a half ago, the other party suddenly stopped like this for nearly a minute before rushing over.

Do you need to replenish your mana and cellular energy every hour and a half?
As the Executioner of the First String, the upper limit of cellular energy provided by the ghost blood in his body is definitely not something he can match. In theory, if he had the same cellular energy reserves as the other party, it shouldn't be a problem to squander it for a few days.

But if you take into account the terrifying degree of the opponent's blood ghost technique, Xin Lailai even felt that the opponent's duration was a bit too outrageous.

"I originally thought that more than 600 would be enough, but now it seems that it is still too much, right?"

If he had known that the other party would be so perverted, he would definitely stuff a piece of his brain into every corner of this mountain range!

——Although this can only be a beautiful fantasy, after all, there is only so much preparation time left for him. Being able to prepare more than 600 places is already the result of him and hundreds of dead soldiers working tirelessly.

"We can only resist."

Xin Lailai gritted his teeth, and a look of madness emerged from his pupils.

At this point, even if he doesn't want to face it, he must find a way to slow down the executioner.

According to Xin Lailai's original expectation, as long as the executioner followed here, he would already have a chance to win, but the executioner used his overwhelming strength to teach him a lesson about how real wisdom cannot match magical powers.

Now, he really has no confidence as to whether he can hold on for the next three hours.
