Chapter 227: Light Flow Method

"Is this the art you take pride in? Truly nauseating."

Dio stood in place, a flash of disdain crossing his golden pupils. "Before me, DIO, it is nothing but a jumping clown's tricks."

"Arrogant bastard!" Gyokko roared, swinging his arms, sharp nails tearing through the air.

Dio tilted his body slightly, easily dodging this fatal strike. Gyokko's fingers brushed past the brick wall beside him. With a "hua" sound, the wall instantly turned into a school of silver carp.

"Hahaha!" Gyokko laughed wildly. "Anything I touch turns into fish!"

Dio stomped hard on the ground, using the force to retreat. However Gyokko was faster; his tail suddenly lashed out, a "pa" sound as it struck Dio's right arm, the tremendous force knocking him back several meters.

Seizing this chance, Gyokko instantly closed in, his open palm striking toward Dio's chest: "God Hand!"

The flesh and blood on Dio's chest began to ripple with fish-scale patterns, countless fish spraying out from within.

"This level of ability, to me, DIO" Dio's mouth curled into a cruel smile. "Useless! Useless! Useless!"

The moment his voice fell, the surrounding cells began to writhe wildly, directly digesting and absorbing the fish that had appeared.

Almost simultaneously, his right hand clamped onto Gyokko's wrist like lightning, icy cold sensation spreading instantly. "Vaporization Freezing Technique!"

Cold air erupted, water vapor in the air condensing into frost, a thin layer of ice forming on the scales of Gyokko's arm.

"You think this level can hurt me?" Gyokko laughed wildly. "My scales are."

Before he finished speaking, Dio suddenly exerted force. His left foot stomped a deep pit into the ground, his whole body spinning half a circle with Gyokko, then his right hand violently flung him.

"Hong!" Gyokko slammed heavily onto the ground, the ground instantly collapsing. Amidst the flying dust, the sound of dislocated bones came from Dio's chest cavity.

"Kacha!"

Ribs broke through flesh, stabbing toward Gyokko like steel spears. The bone blades rotated at high speed, striking the scales, sparks flying everywhere.

"Heh!" Gyokko smiled triumphantly. "This level of attack fundamentally cannot break my defense!"

Before his voice fell, the blood vessels inside Dio suddenly burst out of his body, entangling around the rotating bone blades like a spider web.

Strange red light surged within the blood vessels, the surface of the bone blades instantly turning crimson.

"Zizi."

The air was scorched by high temperature, emitting a piercing sound. The smile on Gyokko's face suddenly froze.

"Kacha!"

A crisp sound suddenly came from the surface of the scales. Gyokko looked down, his pupils violently contracting — on that flawless scale, a tiny crack was slowly expanding.

"No! This is impossible!" The triumph on Gyokko's face instantly turned to horror, his hands striking Dio like a violent storm. "Die! Die! Die!"

Dio's flesh and blood began to twist and deform the moment of contact, turning into strips of fish in the blink of an eye, but in the next instant they were digested and absorbed by the surrounding cells.

"Hong!"

The bone blades finally broke through the defense, stabbing deep into Gyokko's body. They then began to rotate wildly, mincing his internal organs into pieces.

Countless blood vessels burst out of his body, greedily absorbing Gyokko's blood and power.

"Wryyyy!"

Dio threw his head back and let out his signature long howl, blood vessels bulging all over his body. "Hu!"

A sharp wind pressure suddenly attacked from the side, its speed so fast the trajectory was almost invisible. Dio had no choice but to release Gyokko and leap back.

Dio steadied his stance, raising his head to look.

Under the moonlight, two figures stood side by side, one holding a Lightning Khakkhara, eyes wide with rage; the other holding a fan, wearing a cold smile.

They were precisely Hantengu's two major avatars — Sekido and Coke.

"Honglong!"

Sekido slammed the Imperial Scepter in his hand heavily onto the ground. In an instant dark clouds covered the sky, a thick bolt of lightning descending from the heavens, striking straight at Dio's location.

Dio stomped his right foot hard on the ground, wanting to dodge, but Gyokko had already seized this opportunity.

"Blood Demon Art: Formation Killing Fish Scales!"

Gyokko's body suddenly shot out like a pinball, so fast not even an afterimage could be seen clearly. He continuously changed direction in mid-air, his trajectory bizarre and unpredictable.

Dio was just about to dodge when Coke suddenly waved his fan, a wild wind howling, actually pinning him in place.

"Pilipala!"

The lightning struck Dio's body dead center, a pungent scorched smell permeating the air.

At the same time, Gyokko's voice suddenly rang out in the air: "Blood Demon Art: Formation Killing Fish Scales!"

Only to see Gyokko's figure suddenly flashing in mid-air, each appearance bringing piercing cold light. His speed was astonishing, his movement trajectory completely defying common sense, utterly impossible to predict.

"Zheng!"

A flash of cold light, and Dio's left arm fell in response. Fresh blood spurted out, but the wound had already begun to writhe, new flesh and blood rapidly growing.

"Peng! Peng! Peng!"

Gyokko's figure kept flashing, each movement accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking air.

The three's offensive perfectly coordinated, enveloping Dio in a storm of attacks.

"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!"

Three consecutive flashes of cold light passed, and several more deep wounds appeared on Dio's body. Flesh and blood flew horizontally, minced meat scattering in all directions.

"Hahaha!" Gyokko laughed wildly in mid-air. "How about it! This is the power of an Upper Rank Demon! You arrogant bastard, you have today too!"

However just at this moment, Gyokko suddenly felt a strange sensation coming from his tail.

Looking down, Gyokko's pupils violently contracted — only to see countless tiny fragments of flesh and blood silently attaching to his fish tail.

These flesh fragments seemed alive, constantly wriggling on it.

"Too late." Dio's mouth curled into a cold smile. "Vaporization Freezing Technique!"

Piercing cold air instantly erupted from the flesh, Gyokko's fish tail instantly covered by heavy frost.

Even the moisture in the air condensed into ice, forming a crystalline ice mist.

"Hmph! Wasted effort!" Gyokko sneered disdainfully. "The same move is already useless against me! My scales have undergone countless evolutions."

"Is that so?" Dio interrupted him, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Then do you know what thermal expansion and contraction is?"

"What?"

Gyokko revealed a trace of doubt at this moment.

Voice Not Fall, the flesh attached to Gyokko's body suddenly turned crimson, the temperature soaring to its limit in an instant.

The extreme temperature difference between ice and flame subjected the scales to unprecedented pressure.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Gyokko's proud scale defense finally completely collapsed, scattering and drifting down like shattered crystal.

"No!"

Gyokko's cry of alarm had not yet fallen, when that flesh suddenly went berserk. The flesh instantly turned into countless tiny tentacles, directly entering Gyokko's body, frantically absorbing his blood and power.

"Aaaah!"

Gyokko let out a miserable shriek, he could clearly feel his vitality rapidly draining away.

Gyokko's body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a balloon that had been drained dry.

Dio's right foot stomped heavily on the Ground, his whole body rushing toward Gyokko like a Shell. The Ground instantly cracked and shattered under this stomp, rubble flying.

He extended his right hand, the flesh inside Gyokko's body instantly flying out and entering Dio's body.

As Gyokko's power was completely absorbed, Dio felt a strange change occur inside his body, new power welling up. "Stop!"

A furious roar suddenly came from the side. Sekido's face changed drastically, his figure flashing, the Shakujō in his hand Carrying Lightning Release Armor, slashing toward Dio's head like a silver lightning bolt.

"Boom!"

Lightning Release Armor exploded, Air Wave rolling. This strike of Sekido's condensed his whole body's power, even the air was ionized, emitting a piercing explosive roar.

However, when the smoke and dust dispersed, Sekido's face changed.

Dio's empty hand steadily caught his Shakujō. Where the palm contacted the lightning, the flesh was scorched charred black.

"Just this level?" The corner of Dio's mouth hooked into a contemptuous smile.

Not waiting for Sekido to react, Dio's right hand had already turned into a sharp blade, stabbing into Sekido's chest like lightning.

"This feeling. Not good!"

Sekido's Pupils shrank violently, wanting to Activate his splitting ability. However, the flesh inside his body seemed no longer under his control, the splitting process forcibly interrupted.

Original text is watching!

"What's going on? Why can't I split?" Sekido's face changed drastically. "Whoosh!"

A violent gust of wind suddenly struck.

Coke made a move, the fan in his hand Swinging wildly, forming a hurricane that forcibly separated Sekido and Dio.

"Bang!"

Sekido's body fell heavily to the Ground, the hollow in his chest still continuously gushing fresh blood. He laboriously propped up his body, looking at Dio with eyes full of wariness.

"Can't let him get close." Sekido panted heavily, rapidly thinking of a Countermeasure. "As long as he touches me, I'll be absorbed by that bizarre power."

Sekido's gaze suddenly fell on Coke, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Clang!"

"What?!" Coke couldn't even react in time, his Skull had already flown out.

At the same time, Sekido also severed his own Skull.

"Thud! Thud!"

Two Skulls hit the ground simultaneously, fresh blood spurting. But a bizarre scene occurred — the blood did not flow away, but condensed in midair, gradually forming two human figures.

One tall and slender, with double wings on the back, Fingertips sharp as knives; the other holding a cross-shaped long spear, whole body Emitting a fierce aura. Precisely Urogi and Aizetsu.

"Hahaha! Finally came out!" Urogi flapped his wings, letting out an excited laugh.

"Don't be happy too early." Aizetsu held the long spear, saying calmly.

However, before the two's voices had fallen, Sekido suddenly erupted, both hands grabbing forward. The three figures were instantly pulled by a bizarre force, beginning to Approach Sekido uncontrollably.

"No!"

"Wait!"

The three's cries of alarm still echoed in the air, when their bodies were already forcibly absorbed by Sekido, flesh twisting and deforming in midair, finally fusing into Sekido's body.

Dio narrowed his eyes, Looking at the bizarre scene before him.

Sekido's figure rapidly shrank, turning into the form of a child holding drumsticks. Behind him, six giant taiko drums inscribed with the character "Hate" floated in the air, Emitting a sinister aura.

Zohakuten raised his head to Look at Dio: "You, this ultimate evil person!"

Hearing these words, Dio couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Ultimate evil person?"

"WRYYYYY!"

Dio's whole body erupted with a suffocating Oppressive Feeling. "Foolish. Before me, DIO, you don't even have the qualifications to judge 'evil'."

Dio's right foot fiercely stomped on the Ground, the whole floor tile instantly shattering. The powerful reaction force made him rush toward Zohakuten like a Shell leaving the barrel, an Air Wave forming a visible Shockwave behind him.

"Blood Demon Art: Endless Karma Tree!"

Zohakuten held drumsticks in both hands, rapidly striking the six taiko drums behind him. "Thump! Thump! Thump!" The dull drumbeats echoed in the Night Sky.

The earth suddenly violently trembled, Cracks spreading outward with Zohakuten as the Center. Next Second, a gigantic Wood Dragon burst from the ground, its whole body covered in bizarre patterns, Emitting an ominous aura.

"Roar!"

The Wood Dragon let out a heaven-shaking roar, opening its mouth full of Fangs, lunging straight at Dio.

"Useless useless useless!"

Dio advanced instead of retreating, his left arm suddenly transforming, a Bone Blade breaking out of his body, Shining with cold light under the moonlight.

"Clang!"

Bone Blade and Wood Dragon Collided, emitting a piercing metallic ringing. Dio's arm Muscles instantly swelled.

"Crack!"

The Wood Dragon's skull was severed in two by a single slash, the massive dragon head flying into midair while still maintaining its pose with jaws wide open.

Zohakuten's gaze sharpened, and he rapidly swung the drumsticks with both hands.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

All six taiko drums sounded simultaneously, their sounds resonating with each other to form a bizarre frequency. The ground trembled once more, and this time three ferocious dragon heads burst from the earth at once.

The three dragon heads opened their massive maws simultaneously, terrifying energy condensing within.

Lightning, storm, and sound waves — three forces intertwined, forming a destructive torrent of energy.

"Die!" Zohakuten's eyes were bloodshot; clearly this strike had poured out all his strength.

The energy torrent whistled out; wherever it passed the air twisted, the ground cracking apart.

However, just as the energy was about to strike, Dio's figure suddenly blurred, dissipating into the air like mist.

"What?!" Zohakuten's pupils contracted sharply. "How could he vanish?!"

At this moment, a voice full of mockery rang beside his ear: "Your attack... is too slow."

"Clang!"

The sound of a sharp blade breaking the sky had just risen when Zohakuten's skull had already soared skyward, the cut smooth as a mirror, blood not yet having time to spurt.

But the next moment, a bizarre scene occurred.

Zohakuten's neck suddenly writhed, a new skull growing out at astonishing speed, lunging directly at Dio.

"Boom!"

Terrifying sound waves erupted from its mouth, forming a visible shockwave. The air was shaken into distortion, emitting a piercing shriek.

Surrounding trees instantly disintegrated under this terrifying sonic impact, turning into countless wood chips that scattered. Rocks on the ground shattered inch by inch, forming a ring-shaped crack spreading outward.

Dio crossed his arms before his chest, his whole body forced to retreat repeatedly by this power, two deep gullies left in the ground beneath his feet, rock fragments flying.

"Interesting. It seems ordinary attacks are ineffective against you."

Dio slowly lowered his arms, blood vessels across his body beginning to writhe: "In that case, let me absorb you completely, leaving not even a scrap!"

In the distance, Akaza was locked in fierce battle with Rengoku Kyojuro. Suddenly, a violent tremor arrived, powerful energy fluctuations causing the air itself to distort.

"This is..." Akaza's fist paused, a trace of wariness flashing in his eyes.

Only now did he sense Gyokko's presence suddenly vanish without a trace.

"It seems that monster is even more troublesome than imagined." A cold light flashed in Akaza's eyes as he looked at Rengoku Kyojuro: "No time to play with you anymore!"
