Illimitable Until Death

755: Fang Li’s eyes also shimmered slightly.

Perhaps motivated by a sense of competition, before coming here, Zhuge Jinghuan had shared some information about the Oni with Fang Li.

According to Zhuge Jinghuan, there are many types of Oni, each with distinct characteristics.

Some Oni are not good at combat, while others are born fighters, showing very different traits based on their nature.

For example, Yen is a grappler Oni, naturally possessing great strength, while Tsubaki is a Shadow Oni, which makes her very fast.

As for Habi, she is a rare Heavenly Evil Spirit, a type of Oni so rare that a single one might not appear for centuries.

This type of Oni is extremely battle-hungry, often born with immense power.

Their bodies are almost entirely enhanced for combat, which can result in lower intelligence and a childlike mentality that rarely matures.

However, precisely because of this, Heavenly Evil Spirits are often exceptionally powerful and highly revered among Oni who value strength.

Habi, even among Heavenly Evil Spirits, is exceptional, with combat abilities far surpassing others.

As Fang Li had anticipated, Habi is at least on par with Sun in terms of rank.

Naturally, such a being seeks powerful opponents throughout their lives, with any individual possessing great power being a prime target for them.

“On Bandire, you displayed extraordinary presence. From that moment on, both Deen and Grenada (servants) began to focus on you and took action,” Zhuge Jinghuan explained.

“Liberty Mason delayed joining Grenada (servants) because of this, eventually leading you into Deen.” “Ranban, including myself, has taken an interest in you, and many high-level members hope to recruit you as the next pillar of our organization.” “Similarly, Oni have their eyes on you, especially Habi Sama.

For her as a Heavenly Evil Spirit, you are like a piece of longevity meat emitting a deadly scent, and she will pursue a battle with you no matter what.” “I anticipated this, so I brought Sun out of Ranban to hold back Habi, thus giving you a fair chance.” “But you must be careful.” “As you mentioned before, Habi Sama is on par with Sun.

In the past, Sun defeated countless Youkai on the western journey, becoming a Big Shot in the Demonic Realm.

Habi Sama, too, has traveled the world seeking experts, defeating all powerful transcendent beings, and is revered as a king among all Oni.

Battling her will not be easier than fighting Sun; it could even be life-threatening.” “If you don’t wish to fight Habi Sama, I can have Sun handle her.

After all, you are someone I value and I wouldn’t want you to face life-threatening dangers.” This was Zhuge Jinghuan’s offer to Fang Li.

In other words, from the very beginning, Zhuge Jinghuan had made all the necessary preparations and calculated everything.

It seems that in Zhuge Jinghuan’s plan, regardless of whether Fang Li needs to fight Habi or not, with Sun’s power, he could turn the situation around, satisfy Habi’s desire for battle, and ultimately persuade the Oni to withdraw from the competition, allowing Fang Li to be absorbed into Ranban.

It’s clear why Zhuge Jinghuan is a descendant of the renowned Zhuge Liang.

Of course, this wasn’t important to Fang Li.

Fang Li came here not to satisfy Habi or to respond to Zhuge Jinghuan’s recruitment.

From the start, Fang Li had only one goal.

That was the Far East Warfare.

At that moment, Fang Li turned his attention to Habi and asked, “Can you tell me why you joined Grenada (servants)?” The sudden question initially stunned the Ranban members led by Zhuge Jinghuan and then left the Oni led by Yen equally bewildered.

Only Habi tilted his head as if contemplating the answer to Fang Li’s question, before eventually clapping his hands.

“Because it allows me to fight with experts.” The somewhat disjointed words came from Habi’s mouth.

And this answer was somewhat enigmatic.

“Fight with experts, huh?” Fang Li said.

“But in this Far East Warfare, Grenada (servants) hold the advantage. It stands to reason that Grenada (servants) would have more experts. If you want to fight experts, wouldn’t joining Deen and battling Grenada (servants) be more satisfying for you?” Before Habi could respond, Yen and Tsubaki interrupted.

“Are you questioning Habi Sama’s decision?” Yen stood up from the ground covered with rice balls and spoke to Fang Li in a deep voice.

“That is disrespectful.

Retract your words.” “Habi Sama’s decision is absolute,” Tsubaki also stood up, glaring at Fang Li with a menacing tone.

“No outsiders are allowed to question it.” Not only Yen and Tsubaki, but even the other Oni members glared at Fang Li with hostility, making the atmosphere extremely tense.

However, Fang Li merely glanced at the Oni.

“————!” A chill ran down the backs of the Oni members, including Yen and Tsubaki.

“You guys are quite loyal and I don’t hate that,” Fang Li said in a calm tone.

“But right now, I’m having a conversation with your king, so I don’t think there’s room for you to interject.” “You…” Tsubaki’s face immediately contorted with anger.

“…” Yen’s expression also darkened.

The Oni members all clenched their fists, their faces showing indignation and anger.

Only Habi, seeming bored, addressed the group of Oni.

“You are not allowed to interfere with Habi’s matters.” As these words were spoken, whether consciously or unconsciously, an incredible pressure emanated from Habi’s body.

The pressure made everyone’s breath catch, leaving them speechless.

In this situation, Habi threw aside the wine jug.

“Bang————!” With a crisp shattering sound, the jug broke into pieces.

Then, Habi jumped up from the ground.

“You, very strong. Habi knows,” Habi said in a somewhat indistinct voice.

“Habi likes to fight with experts.” With that, Habi extended a hand toward Fang Li.

A pure and innocent smile spread across Habi’s face.

“Come, fight with Habi.” “Then, Habi will tell you the answer.” With that, the pressure began to emanate from Habi’s body.

Like a vicious, ferocious beast, it was terrifying.

Under this pressure, everyone’s faces showed fear.

Only Fang Li raised his head, looked at Habi, and slowly walked forward.
