Chapter 778: IUD-Chapter 774 Subverts The Strikes
Pu Chi...
The sound of flesh being torn apart echoed through the air.
A pure white energy sword pierced through the body of the Scarlet Blazing God, its tip emerging from her back, leaving a trail of crimson blood behind.
However, Fang Li's ice-blue Mystic Eyes narrowed slightly, and with a twist of his hand holding the sword...
"Bang!"
The Scarlet Blazing God that had taken over Aria's body suddenly exploded as if her body had been torn apart.
Flesh and blood flew into the air.
However, those pieces of flesh and blood soon flickered like shadows and vanished without a trace.
It was clear - it had only been an afterimage.
No, to be more precise, it was an avatar.
"The real one is over here!"
Fang Li turned quickly, and his Ogre Lux flashed as it sliced through the space in front of him.
"Oh?"
At almost the same moment, the Scarlet Blazing God appeared out of nowhere, reappearing in this place with a surprised gasp. She quickly retreated, moving at lightning speed.
"Chī-!"
With a faint cutting sound, the bright sword light sliced through the empty air, cutting nothing.
"Haha!" The Scarlet Blazing God laughed as she stopped her retreat and said, "I'm impressed that you could locate me. It wasn't exactly teleportation, but it was a similar ability - one where I blend my body into space using an invisibility and stealth technique. Normally, you wouldn't have been able to detect my presence!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Li simply raised his ice-blue Mystic Eyes and looked at the Scarlet Blazing God, saying, "Unfortunately, that kind of power can't hide from these eyes of mine.
Whether it's a barrier or space, as long as it truly exists and is capable of dying, no matter how well it's hidden, the lines of death representing it will clearly appear before Fang Li's Mystic Eyes.
The Forbidden Book Library was also independent of space.
Barriers hidden in the air.
The invisible magic hand.
With his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li had been able to detect all of these existences. Even though the Scarlet Blazing God had merged her body with space, becoming invisible and using stealth, as long as she existed, the death lines on her body could not escape Fang Li's detection.
"As I expected, you possess a truly unique power."
The Scarlet Blazing God turned her gaze directly to Fang Li's ice-blue eyes and spoke with fascination.
"You can kill me with certainty, even slicing through space itself. Such an ability... even I cannot replicate it. Is it really a superpower?"
In response to her question, Fang Li smiled before he spoke.
"Whatever kind of ability it is, as long as it can kill you, it's the best ability."
With that, Fang Li lifted his Ogre Lux once more and shot towards the Scarlet Blazing God at high speed like a phantom.
The Scarlet Blazing God hastily activated her Ability again and transformed into a crimson meteor that streaked across the sky and crashed into the island below.
"Chī-!"
"Chī-!"
With sharp sounds of space being torn apart, both Fang Li and the Scarlet Blazing God became meteors, flashing across the blue sky as they raced toward the island below.
By now, the island's beach had sunk into the sea, and the forest had turned into a blazing inferno. Fire and intense heat filled the area, making it seem extremely dangerous.
But neither Fang Li nor the Scarlet Blazing God paid any attention to the flames or the heat. They landed in the middle of the burning forest and descended into an open space.
All around them, the flames continued to rage.
The temperature of the air continued to rise.
There, in that fiery clearing, Fang Li and the Scarlet Blazing God faced each other.
Fang Li's breathing began to accelerate.
Meanwhile, the Scarlet Blazing God looked extremely pleased.
Seeing Fang Li's labored breathing, the Scarlet Blazing God spoke with both admiration and praise.
"To have lasted this long... you've done quite well. You really are the man I had my eye on."
Fang Li didn't react to her comment, but Shirayuki, who was cuddled in his arms, showed a complex and conflicted expression on her face.
There was nothing she could do about it.
After all, Fang Li hadn't been at his best from the beginning.
During the battle with Habi, in order to stop the Ruyi Bang from firing, Fang Li had to exert a defensive power comparable to that of a warship, which almost depleted his prana.
As a result, Fang Li's prana wasn't the only thing that had been depleted by all the non-stop fighting and running around, his stamina had also decreased significantly.
It was mentioned earlier that even though Hermes' boots allowed the user to fly, they also consumed as much or more stamina than normal movement.
Considering the constant battles, it was truly impressive that Fang Li had managed to last this long.
On the other hand, the Scarlet Blazing God, in her fully manifested form, relied on the power of the Hihiirokane, which allowed her to fight with almost no energy consumption.
Moreover, after attaining her full form, the Scarlet Blazing God could freely use various high-powered abilities, making her even more difficult to deal with.
"Not to mention, this body of mine hasn't even used Ruyi Bang yet."
The Scarlet Blazing God teased Fang Li as if to see his reaction, speaking in a mocking tone.
"If I were to use the Ruyi Bang again, do you think you could block it?"
This single sentence caused Shirayuki's expression to change dramatically.
On the other hand, Fang Li calmly adjusted his breathing and his expression became indifferent.
Then he spoke.
"You can try."
Fang Li's words and demeanor made the Scarlet Blazing God raise her eyebrows slightly.
Then she gave him a defiant look.
Why do all the heirs of the Hihiirokane have such childish personalities and excessive pride?
This was because the consciousness of the Hihiirokane - the Scarlet Blazing God himself - was inherently like this.
Now, provoked by Fang Li's taunt, the Scarlet Blazing God immediately took the bait.
"Fine, I'll give it a try."
As she said this, she raised her gaze.
However, at that moment, Fang Li moved.
"Bang-!"
The sound of a gunshot rang out.
A flash of light suddenly appeared in front of Fang Li, and a bullet shot out at an incredible speed, tearing through the air as it raced violently towards the Scarlet Blazing God.
It was none other than Fang Li's weapon technique, Invisible Bullet.
The Scarlet Blazing God was taken by surprise.
It wasn't her fault that she was surprised. Fang Li had always demonstrated extraordinary close combat skills, strong enough to defeat both Sun Wukong, known as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and Habi, the king of the Oni.
This had left a deep impression on the Scarlet Blazing God, making her avoid engaging Fang Li in close combat at all costs.
Therefore, she never expected Fang Li to suddenly fire a weapon.
Of course, although she was surprised, Scarlet Blazing God was not weak enough to be threatened by a mere bullet, even an invisible bullet. With her superhuman mental and energy abilities, she managed to track its trajectory.
"Such a trivial technique."
She scoffed as her body began to glow.
But just then, an even more intense light erupted from the speeding bullet, turning the entire room into daylight. The blinding light forced Scarlet Blazing God to close her eyes, and her expression changed.
"A flash bullet?!"
It was one of the special Butei bullets.
