Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 59 fierce battle

……

clang--!
There was a collision sound, and the Nichirin Sword in Xin Lailai's hand only blocked the opponent for 0.1 seconds before it was cut open with both the man and the sword.

"624."

The executioner shook off the blood on the black blade and looked at the effect of the death gaze with only half an hour left in front of him, a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

A full six hours have passed since the beginning.

The fragments of flesh and blood that Xin Lailai hid in this mountain range were endless. No matter how hard he tried, he could not kill them all. This even made the executor feel uneasy.

Although she had already prepared a back-up plan for Muzan and could guarantee that even if it was delayed until dawn, Muzan would never be killed by the Demon Slayer Squad, Xin Lailai's behavior had shaken the confidence of the executioners and others. .

"You should be thinking now, what exactly gave me the confidence to persevere until now."

Suddenly, Xin Lailai's voice came. The executioner's pupils shrank slightly and he turned around suddenly. The black blade in his hand cut through the sky, creating a dark trace under the night sky.

Ping!
The sound of blades colliding was heard. Xin Lailai looked at the incoming attack with calm eyes. As if he had predicted it, he hit the side of the dead man's black blade with the blade in his hand accurately, deflected the blow, and then his body suddenly The ground turned into a black shadow, avoiding the death energy that erupted under its feet, and fell to the side.

"It seems that I did feel right."

A chuckle rang out, and Xin Lailai stood in the shadows, looking at the executioner wrapped in black armor in front of him, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

"Your body is starting to feel tired."

Xin Lailai is very sure that the dead person has not mastered the world of transparency. The world of transparency is a realm that can only be entered after the breathing method has been understood to the extreme. However, there is no trace of the breathing method on the body of the dead person.

In other words, the other party cannot rely on the [forced calming] effect provided by the transparent world to force his body and mind to stay awake like himself.

- She will feel tired!
After six hours of high-frequency fighting, and repeatedly consuming all his cell energy and mana, no matter how strong his will is, he cannot always maintain his peak condition.

And this is indeed the case. From an hour ago, Xin Lailai could clearly feel that there was a clear sense of lag in the executioner's attacks, the connection of moves began to become templated, and the reaction speed also dropped significantly.

Of course, even so...

"so what."

The knife wrapped in the death energy struck Xin Lailai with lightning speed. Xin Lailai's pupils shrank and his body quickly turned into a black shadow, but the next second, a sound of breaking through the air came to him instantly.

boom--!
The blade in the hands of the deceased was released, and with the help of terrifying body strength, the black blade as tall as a person shot out like a sharp arrow, instantly piercing Xin Lailai's head.

Then, the death energy wrapped around the handle of the knife was pulled, and the black blade was pulled back into the hands of the deceased. She looked at the corpse in front of her, without saying anything, she just silently untied Shura's armor and poured out the last mana potion and cell energy supplement potion. Drink it all.

"Roar--!!"

In the burning mountain forest, the angry Shura roar sounded again, and the dark armor once again wrapped around the executioner's body. She looked at the blade in her hand, her eyes slightly condensed.

Xin Lailai was right, her condition was indeed declining.

After six hours of continuous fighting, her body would have been unable to hold on long ago if the evil spirit's body hadn't already had extremely powerful ability to fight continuously.

but--

"Don't worry, I won't lose."

The executioner looked at his chest, placed his left hand lightly in front of his heart, and a flash of determination flashed in his blue pupils.

Yes, she will not lose and must not lose.

“That’s where the willfulness ends.”

The executioner whispered in her heart that even if she continued to enjoy this battle, she knew very well that if it continued like this, something unexpected might happen.

She didn't like to use this trick. After all, she didn't have much sense of belonging to the so-called Death Cult, and she had no feelings for the guy who called himself the God of Death.

But in order to ensure victory, she doesn't care how much favor she owes.

"Great God of Death, please hear my prayer."

The executioner inserted the black blade into the ground, closed his eyes, and chanted in a calm tone.

"I will sacrifice the souls of the dead who were killed by the sword."

A sharp howl came from the black blade in her hand.

"I will offer the flesh and blood of death."

She cut her palm open and blood dripped down, falling to the ground and turning into a bright red formation.

"I will offer my sincere faith."

Thick death energy erupted from the formation, and a shadow began to condense behind her.

"Please send down your divine power to protect me!"

In an instant, an indescribable sense of oppression came from the shadow behind her, and a muddy and majestic voice began to sound:
"Your prayers, I have..."

boom--!
Just when the shadow was about to complete something, a loud noise suddenly sounded out of thin air. Then, in the stunned eyes of the executioner, the shadow of the God of Death suddenly collapsed. Before it collapsed, she even heard an angry sound. roar.

……

"looks!!"

In the Kingdom of God, the God of Death, who was wrapped in a thick aura of death, roared angrily, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

I saw a huge hole appearing above His Kingdom of God, and a young man in white was standing in front of Him with a smile on his face.

"Sorry, that little guy wants to use your power to deal with my little guy. Although I don't want to interfere in their battle, I have to do something, right?"

Eyebrows said with a smile, looking at the Kingdom of Death made of corpses and dead energy, it seemed that the God of Death in front of him was completely worthy of it.

"I am the notary god in the temple of gods. If you break into my kingdom without permission, aren't you afraid of the punishment from Paradise?"

The God of Death grasped the scepter in his huge hand and said angrily to Mei Mu.

"Well, I know. Didn't I just happen to be testing the latest version of the magic-killing teleportation array and bump into this by accident? If you don't believe it, you can apply to the paradise to find out what I was doing just now. I Guaranteed it was just an accident.”

What a fucking accident!
Good fortune-telling surprises, right?

The veins on the God of Death's forehead suddenly popped up, and he slammed the scepter in his hand onto the ground:
"Don't you have any dignity as a strong man?"

"Yes, so am I standing here?"

Eyebrow said with a smile and pointed at himself.

"The so-called dignity of the strong is nothing more than whoever has the biggest fist has the right."

Circles of starlight began to appear behind him. For a moment, it was as if the stars were coming, and the bright starry sky directly covered the kingdom of the God of Death.

"So, I'm here. If you don't accept it, bring your Kingdom of God to challenge me."

The young man in white robe smiled and looked at the God of Death in front of him, with a hint of indifference in his gray and white pupils.

"Otherwise, just stay here and accept the compensation I give you."

There are as many fortune-telling schools in the void as stars. In theory, no one can guarantee that their fortune-telling skills will be the strongest.

But he is still called the strongest fortune teller in the void, and the reason is very simple:
——Among the diviners, he is the most capable one.

……

The World of Ghost Slayer.

The executioner who had been waiting for several minutes looked at the motionless formation and fell silent.

After she showed off her talents in the first derivative world, she was directly invited by a large number of divine religions, including the Elemental God Cult, which was ranked third among all the divine religions in the Sanctuary.

But in the end, out of considerations of his own talent and profession, the Executioner finally chose the Death Cult, which was ranked No. 20.

However, now it seems that this choice is not so suitable.

"After I go back, I'd better change to another religious cult."

After all, no matter how suitable it is for you, a god who has problems responding to his followers for the first time is not very reliable no matter how you think about it.

The executioner pulled out the black blade, felt the direction pointed by the death gaze, and pursued him straight away.

Since the gods are unreliable, she can only continue this battle by herself.

……

In a forest.

Xin Lailai sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling the imprint of the death gaze that was already in danger in the spiritual world, and slowly opened his eyes.

"I didn't expect such an operation. It's really..." He opened his communication interface and looked at the prompt that popped up, with a strange look in his dark pupils.

[*Notification: [Leader] has used administrative rights to initiate a communication channel name change request for you. Do you agree to change the communication channel name to [You have 5 minutes of rest time] (If you do not respond within 5 minutes, it will be automatically rejected. )]

"What does this mean? There are always more ways than difficulties?"

Xin Lailai complained, stood up, and looked at the burning woods around him. The hot air slapped his face, and the pungent burnt smell filled the air.

During these six hours, the artillery team stationed outside launched several rounds of shelling according to his prompts. Now the mountain range was completely wrapped in flames. If ordinary people broke in, they would not last long and would suffocate to death.

Even the bonus brought by his own breathing method was obviously affected. Not only that, because of the flames and shelling, part of his brain hidden in the mountains was directly destroyed. Now he has only the last remaining There is a resurrection point.

Once he dies two more times, he will have to be resurrected at the Demon Slayer Headquarters. At that time, as long as the executioner once again uses the same teleportation method that he used when he first followed him, he will be teleported directly to him to use the executioner's combat power. The battle at the Demon Slayer Headquarters will probably end in an instant.

"Is this retribution for setting the mountain on fire?"

Xin Lailai complained to himself, but he knew in his heart that this was actually a mistake in his own decision-making.

After all, he is just an ordinary person and cannot be perfect in this regard.

"The next step is to fight to the death."

Feeling the gradually relieving pain in his head, Xin Lailai looked at the field in front of him, controlled the cell energy in his body, converted it into the power of shadow, and began to make the final arrangements.

He can't have another 5 minutes, so he has to stall here for enough time.

The power of shadow poured into the ground and began to spread under his control.

Xin Lailai looked at the scene in front of him, and vague shadows were intertwined in his field of vision.

After experiencing six hours of death stimulation, his transparent world seemed to have undergone some changes. Now, even if he does not enter a deep meditation state, he can vaguely 'see' the extraordinary energy floating around him.

"This is done."

Xin Lailai looked at the field that was covered with a layer of darkness in front of him, raised his head, looked behind him, and waited patiently.

Then, a figure fell from the sky and hit him about 20 meters away.

The pungent burnt smell filled the air, and the two people faced each other in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Whoa!

Suddenly, a charred tree collapsed in the flames, and in an instant, the executioner wrapped in pitch black armor moved.

Dark Slash·Draw the Sword!

Clang!
The dark arc-shaped slash cut off the flames and came to Xin Lailai in an instant, but Xin Lailai turned into a shadow and disappeared directly as if he had expected it.

The executioner, who was already very familiar with Xin Lailai's moves, did not hesitate at all. He pulled out the blade and slashed down instantly——

Underworld Cut·Cut off the flow!

boom--!
A deafening roar sounded, leaving a huge slash mark on the ground, but the executioner's pupils shrank suddenly and he looked towards the sky.

I saw a slender magic chip hanging in the sky, and Xin Lailai's figure stood in mid-air.

At that moment, Xin Lailai relied on the magic chip to transfer his shadow directly from the ground to the sky to avoid the slash.

Without any hesitation, the executioner who missed the blow stepped hard, and her body rushed out in an instant. But the moment she reached the air, a large number of shadow spikes suddenly poured out from the ground, heading towards the edge of her armor. Poke the gaps.

The executioner's pupils shrank suddenly. With Xin Lailai's control over these energies, she knew exactly what would happen if these shadow spikes entered her body.

Ding Ding Ding-!
A series of collisions sounded. At the critical moment, the executioner decisively released the death energy condensed on the black blade. The dark death energy exploded instantly and turned into a huge spherical shield, blocking all the spikes.

boom!
The executioner landed on the ground and looked at Xin Lailai who was still standing in mid-air, his blue pupils slightly condensed.

Through constant fighting, although she was completely familiar with Xin Lailai's methods, Xin Lailai also almost understood her attack mode.

Only one gamble--

The mana in the body quickly turned into death energy, and then the executioner stepped forward heavily.

Seeing this in mid-air, Xin Lailai jumped back, turned into a shadow and fled towards the ground. When he was about to avoid the opponent's large-scale sword slash, an astonishing chill suddenly came from behind him. rising.

Dark Slash·Instant Prison!

at the same time--

Vampire Technique: Industry Armor Shura!

"Roar--!!"

The huge air wave directly flew away the burning dead wood around him, and the executioner's body suddenly turned into a black line and rushed to Xin Lailai's eyes instantly.

Must stop!
Cut and change the water surface!

The Sun Blade drove the icy sword light away. Xin Lailai gritted his teeth, and the mana in his body poured out, turning into layers of spell shields. But just as his blade came into contact with the black blade of the executioner, At the moment of contact, the body of the executioner suddenly dispersed into a jet-black mist.

not good!

I saw the executioner who was supposed to be right in front suddenly appeared on Xin Lailai's right side and slashed at Xin Lailai with a knife.

boom--!
The defense constructed by the spell chips shattered instantly, and the dark death energy directly blocked the effect of the power of shadow. The black blade slashed at Xin Lailai's neck with a sound of breaking through the air.

Whoa-!
The slash passed by, Xin Lailai's head flew high, and then...

puff!
The sound of piercing flesh and blood was heard. The executioner looked at the shadow thorns that penetrated his side along the gap in the armor, and decisively kicked Xin Lailai away.

The next second, the shadow thorn exploded, and the executioner suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, mobilized the death energy in the body, destroyed the power of shadow in the body, and looked at Xin Lailai.

"It's such a close call. If your reaction hadn't slowed down, I would have died just now, right?"

Xin Lailai's head opened his mouth frivolously, and fell back to his neck under the pull of blood and shadow power.

At that moment, taking advantage of the short barrier brought by the spell chip, he used the power of shadow to actively cut off his neck in time.

"This way, it's over."

Xin Lailai looked at the light blue prompt that appeared in front of him, and his heart that had been hanging high finally fell to the ground.

"How did you do that? Kibutsuji Muzan should no longer be afraid of the sun."

The executioner also received the prompt. She looked at Xin Lailai and slowly put down the black blade in her hand. She had a prop in her hand that could greatly speed up the growth of plants. Therefore, before the decisive battle, she had already put herself and Wu They all turned into perfect evil spirits.

"My ghost blood is defective. For those evil ghosts who have lived beyond the normal age, it will become a fatal poison that accelerates their aging."

The executioner fell silent after hearing this. She didn't expect that she would be defeated in the end.

[*Warning: The BOSS unit of this world: Ghost King Onibutsuji Muzan has died. Contractors are requested to collect the blood of the Ghost King immediately, otherwise the assessment mission will fail]

She looked at the prompts in front of her and didn't react much.

Although she has a means of teleportation, it can only be used on people who have been given a death gaze. With her current ability, the upper limit of the death gaze can only be locked on one person.

"What would you have done if I hadn't come?"

She raised her head, looked at the white sky in the distance, and asked suddenly.

"I'll probably take Tanjiro and run away until the end of your mission."

Xin Lailai shrugged his shoulders and said.

"is it?"

The executioner laughed when she heard the words. Then, she took a deep look at Xin Lailai. Under Xin Lailai's stunned eyes, she threw out the things in the storage space and the black blade in her hand.

"These are yours, in exchange, help me take care of her."

After saying that, she sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes quietly.

A few seconds later, a golden chain fell out of the air and penetrated her body instantly. Her beautiful face was directly turned into ashes in the golden light.

A thing falls to the ground.

Xin Lailai walked over and picked it up.

It was a flip-top pocket watch. On one side of the pocket watch, there was a photo. In the photo, the executioner was holding a girl who was a few years younger than her and facing the camera. Both of them had happy smiles on their faces. In the photo, Below, there is a line of beautiful handwriting:
'To the best sister in the world. '

Xin Lailai fell silent, silently put the pocket watch and the things thrown by the executioner into the storage space, and looked at the sky in the distance.

He won.
