Illimitable Until Death

779: Fang Li no longer had the ability to block another attack from Ruyi Bang.

After all, his prana was almost completely depleted.

Even if he squeezed out the remaining amount, it was impossible to raise his defensive power to the level of a battleship and block this ultimate move.

However, Ruyi Bang is only a guaranteed kill once it is actually unleashed.

It had been said before that if there was a clear countermeasure against Ruyi Bang, it would be to prevent it from being used in the first place.

Therefore, Fang Li deliberately provoked Scarlet Blazing God, knowing that her personality would definitely take the bait.

Before she could react, he fired a flash bullet from the Butei bullets he’d saved.

This was all to prevent the Ruyi Bang from being used.

No matter how powerful the Ruyi Bang was, it still had to be fired from Scarlet Blazing God’s eyes.

So, if Scarlet Blazing God couldn’t open her eyes, the Ruyi Bang couldn’t be activated.

At that moment, Fang Li used the ability of his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and clearly captured the death line on Scarlet Blazing God’s body amidst the intense flash of light.

“Pa!” With a crisp sound of his feet hitting the ground, Fang Li’s figure moved like a shadow and shot forward.

“Flashing Scabbard- Eight Falcons!” As if his entire body had turned into a beam of sword light, Fang Li shot violently at the Scarlet Blazing God.

His Bo Xie Sword aimed directly at her chest, slicing through space with a god-speed thrust.

From the outside, it looked like a ray of light streaking through space, heading straight for Scarlet Blazing God.

However, amidst the blinding flash, Scarlet Blazing God spoke out loudly.

“Such a trivial ability!” No matter what, Scarlet Blazing God was still a manifestation of extraordinary abilities, the very essence of the Hihiirokane.

Even though possessing Aria’s body gave her human traits, such as reflexively closing her eyes at the blinding light, her powerful mental and energetic senses allowed her to perceive changes in the air, much like the famous Sherlock Holmes once did.

Therefore, Fang Li’s sudden attack did not pose any real threat to her.

“Ding-!” The Scarlet Blazing God quickly raised Aria’s twin pistols and crossed them in front of her to block the incoming sword tip.

A sharp, clear sound echoed out in the surroundings.

Whether due to some extraordinary ability or not, Fang Li felt as if his full-strength thrust had pierced a mass of dense gas, reducing its power by at least 80%.

The remaining 20% of the power was something that Aria’s physical abilities alone could block.

As a result, fierce sparks erupted as the tip of the sword collided with the barrels of the twin cannons.

“Is that supposed to be your killing move?” Scarlet Blazing God wasn’t disappointed, but merely remarked with this comment.

“Although it’s clever to completely see through my actions, you won’t be able to defeat me with just that.” As Scarlet Blazing God spoke, she couldn’t see through the intense light.

She didn’t notice the faint smile that slowly appeared on Fang Li’s lips.

“Pa!” The next second, the sound of footsteps echoed again.

But this time, it wasn’t Fang Li’s movement.

At that moment, Shirayuki, who had been nestled in Fang Li’s arms all along, jumped out like a startled rabbit.

She was holding a katana in her hands.

“Not good!” Scarlet Blazing God, who could clearly feel the change in the air, seemed to sense something ominous, and her expression changed dramatically.

It was a look that even Fang Li had never seen on her face before.

“Zheng-!” As Scarlet Blazing God’s expression changed, Shirayuki’s katana suddenly burst into light.

It wasn’t the usual flame of Shirayuki’s Fire System Demon Path Arts, but a crimson light, just like that of the Scarlet Blazing God.

The light came from the katana in Shirayuki’s hands.

As the clan that managed the Hihiirokane Jewel, the Hotogi Shrine had been studying how to suppress the power of the Irokane for centuries.

It was because of this power that the Miko of the Hotogi Shrine, together with the samurai of the Tohyama family, were able to defeat the Scarlet Blazing God seven hundred years ago.

Now, that very power was in Shirayuki’s hands.

After centuries of research and development by the Hotogi Shrine, a weapon was finally created that could reflect and counteract the power of the Crimson Irokane, neutralizing all of the Scarlet Blazing God’s abilities and striking directly at the physical body she possessed.

This weapon was called the ‘Irokane Slayer’.

With this anti-Irokane weapon, Shirayuki flashed in front of Scarlet Blazing God.

Since Fang Li and Scarlet Blazing God were already in hand-to-hand combat, the distance between them was less than a meter.

After jumping from Fang Li’s arms, Shirayuki covered the distance in less than a second and arrived in front of Scarlet Blazing God.

Then, with her eyes closed, she spoke with the solemn grace of a saint, her red lips parting.

“Hotogi Houtennryuu – Crimson Hotogi God!” A crimson slash, as if cutting through the intense surrounding light, swung violently upward toward Scarlet Blazing God.

At such a close range, Scarlet Blazing God had no time to react.

Just as the Irokane Slayer was about to strike Scarlet Blazing God, two small figures suddenly emerged from the burning forest.

They rushed right in front of Scarlet Blazing God.

“Pū Chī-!” The crimson glowing slash landed on the two small figures.

“Ugh…!” Painful groans escaped their mouths.

“…?!” Shirayuki opened her eyes and was shocked by what she saw.

Even Fang Li’s eyes flickered, surprised by the unexpected turn of events.

The ones who had stepped in to protect the Scarlet Blazing God were none other than Sun and Habi.

Under the slash of the Irokane Slayer, the two incomplete Scarlet Blazing Gods were struck as if hit by lightning.

“Shhh…” Crimson steam-like energy began to rise from Sun and Habi’s bodies.

“Ah…” “Ugh…” Both Sun and Habi let out strained cries of pain.

When the steam disappeared, they collapsed like puppets whose strings had been cut.

As a result of blocking the Irokane Slayer’s strike, their Scarlet Blazing God states had been reversed, and they were no longer under Scarlet Blazing God’s control.

“I lost two decent pawns because of that damn Himiko!” Scarlet Blazing God cursed harshly, revealing how bad her mood was.

Even in such a situation, Scarlet Blazing God knew not to underestimate the power of the Irokane Slayer.

Golden particles began to swirl around her body.

What else could it be but her teleportation ability?

This time, Fang Li wasn’t going to let her escape.

His ice blue Mystic Eyes glowed with unprecedented intensity.

The Ogre Lux in his hand flashed with extreme speed.

“Pū chī-!” As if piercing through her physical body, Fang Li’s strike sliced through the golden particles surrounding the Scarlet Blazing God.

The golden particles scattered into the air.

“Click…!” Scarlet Blazing God clicked her tongue and quickly retreated to put some distance between herself and Fang Li.

The battle had suddenly become much more delicate.
