Chapter 747: The Might of Shura

"Awoo—"

An angry roar resounded throughout the entire forest. On the massive body of the Blood Demon Beast, huge wounds appeared, and scarlet liquid flowed out from these gaping gashes. This scarlet liquid swirled over the wounds, and before long, it restored the wounds to their original state.

The Blood Demon Beast retreated several steps, its eyes fixed firmly on Busujima Saeko, filled with wariness. It had not expected that its own body would be so frail before this woman, who did not look particularly strong; the opponent could tear its body apart with just a single strike.

Busujima Saeko's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. Although this Blood Demon Beast exuded powerful fluctuations of strength, such a massive size and fragile defense made it no different from a large target in front of her.

"Lingyun, you have already set up an Isolation Array in the surrounding area, right? Otherwise, with such a huge commotion, it would be impossible for people nearby not to have sensed it." Andiya, watching the battle in the field, asked Lingyun.

Lingyun smiled and reached out to draw a circle on the map; this circle completely enclosed the place where the Blood Demon Beast and Busujima Saeko were fighting. This was the exact location where Lingyun had set up the Isolation Array.

"Shura Slash!"

The Shura Slash in Busujima Saeko's hand was held high, and she suddenly unleashed a blade aura dozens of meters long. The Blood Demon Beast had no time to dodge, and its massive body was instantly sliced diagonally into two halves. The Blood Demon Beast's huge body fell to the ground, turning into a giant pool of blood-colored liquid.

"If this is all you are capable of, then this battle can come to an end!" The Samurai Sword in Busujima Saeko's hand pointed at the liquid writhing crazily on the ground.

As soon as she finished speaking, the scarlet liquid on the ground suddenly formed a vortex. The vortex shrank continuously, and one could faintly see small crystals appearing within it.

Busujima Saeko stomped her right foot heavily on the ground, and her figure instantly turned into a phantom, darting toward the blood-colored vortex. The Shura Slash in her hand traced a sharp trajectory and swept heavily toward the vortex.

"Clang—"

A sound of metal clashing rang out. Busujima Saeko frowned, discovering that her Shura Slash had actually been blocked. A hard, blood-colored barrier had appeared in front of the blood-colored vortex, forcibly resisting Busujima Saeko's attack.

Behind the barrier, the vortex had already begun to deform again, turning into a Giant three or four meters tall. This Giant looked somewhat similar to Busujima Saeko, and in its hand, it held a Samurai Sword identical in shape to the Shura Slash.

"Is this... an imitation ability?" Busujima Saeko gripped the Shura Slash in her hand, exerted force with both hands, and the blood-colored barrier in front of her instantly shattered.

The moment she broke through the blood-colored barrier, the Blood Demon Beast also moved, its Samurai Sword sweeping horizontally toward Busujima Saeko. Every move and stance was exactly the same as the posture Busujima Saeko had used to attack it just moments ago.

"Ding—"

The two Samurai Swords, one large and one small, collided heavily. Busujima Saeko's figure could not help but pause slightly downward; clearly, the opponent's strength exceeded her expectations. While pinning Busujima Saeko down with the Samurai Sword, sharp spikes emerged from the Blood Demon Beast's body, instantly tearing through the air and rushing toward Busujima Saeko.

"Hmph—"

Busujima Saeko let out a cold snort, and the blood-colored mist around her body suddenly expanded, forming a barrier around her. The moment the blood-colored spikes shot into the blood-colored mist, they were dissolved by the mist, not even causing a ripple.

With one strike failing, a Snake head suddenly sprang out from the Blood Demon Beast's body, biting toward Busujima Saeko. Busujima Saeko could not dodge in time and had to use the barrier formed by the blood-colored mist to take the hit head-on.

With a crack, a small piece of the blood-colored barrier around Busujima Saeko was bitten off by the Snake head of the Blood Demon Beast. After biting off a small piece of the blood-colored barrier, the Snake head swallowed it directly. Before long, the Snake head that had swallowed the blood-colored mist twisted violently; the entire head became even more ferocious, and its momentum seemed to have increased slightly.

Seeing this, the Blood Demon Beast's eyes lit up. The Samurai Sword in its hand continued to press down hard on Busujima Saeko's Shura Slash, while countless Snake heads extended from its body, biting toward the blood-colored barrier around Busujima Saeko.

"You're courting death!" Seeing the Blood Demon Beast actually setting its sights on the Shura Power she had emitted, a flash of anger crossed Busujima Saeko's eyes. "Shura Thorn!"

The blood-colored mist around Busujima Saeko surged, condensing into sharp spikes that pierced toward the incoming Snake heads. The Snake heads extending from the Blood Demon Beast directly opened their large mouths to bite at the spikes, appearing as if they intended to devour them.

The Snake heads that swallowed the Shura Thorns instantly began to swell, and before long, they exploded into a sky full of blood-colored liquid amidst a violent boom.

"Rise for me!" A scarlet light flickered in Busujima Saeko's eyes. She pressed both hands onto the Shura Slash and lifted it upward with all her might, forcibly pushing away the Blood Demon Beast's Samurai Sword.

After pushing away the Blood Demon Beast's Samurai Sword, Busujima Saeko stepped back, gripped the Shura Slash with both hands, and countless blood-colored blade auras swept out from the Shura Slash, bombarding the Blood Demon Beast.

A layer of semi-transparent blood-colored armor suddenly appeared on the surface of the Blood Demon Beast's body. The blood-colored blade auras struck the blood-colored armor, leaving behind gashes, but they were unable to pierce through the armor.

Seeing this, Busujima Saeko narrowed her eyes. Behind her, the blood-colored mist twisted continuously, condensing into a giant phantom several meters tall. It was a Shura image that looked extremely ferocious, with three heads and six arms, holding various different weapons in its hands. Immediately, the Shura figure twisted and actually transformed into the likeness of Busujima Saeko.

"Great Shura Slash!"

Busujima Saeko slashed out with her blade, and the phantom behind her did the same, its Samurai Sword hacking toward the Blood Demon Beast.

The Blood Demon Beast let out a roar, and countless blood-colored crystals appeared on the Samurai Sword in its hand, causing the entire sword to expand significantly. It held the sword with both hands and swung from bottom to top toward the phantom's Samurai Sword.

"Crack—"

The two Samurai Swords collided, and the Blood Demon Beast's Samurai Sword shattered directly into countless fragments. Subsequently, the phantom's Samurai Sword pressed down violently, the powerful force causing the sword in the Blood Demon Beast's hand to break completely.

After snapping the Blood Demon Beast's weapon, the Samurai Sword continued with unstoppable force, striking heavily against the Blood Demon Beast. Although the Blood Demon Beast had long since laid layers of tough armor upon itself, it was of no use before Busujima Saeko's Great Shura Slash. If the Blood Demon Beast had not retreated a step at the very last moment, the phantom's Samurai Sword could have split it in two.

Even so, a huge wound appeared on the Blood Demon Beast's body, from its left shoulder to the right side of its abdomen. The blood-colored liquid on the Blood Demon Beast's body writhed continuously, attempting to restore the wound. However, the Shura Power within the Great Shura Slash prevented this regenerative ability.

The Blood Demon Beast's body twisted continuously, actually discarding the parts contaminated by the Shura Power. Large chunks of jelly-like blood-colored matter fell from the Blood Demon Beast's body, and upon hitting the ground, they were completely eroded into nothingness by the Shura Power.

Having discarded a portion of its body, the Blood Demon Beast's form twisted once more, turning into a large Snake with nine heads, its eighteen eyes fixed firmly on Busujima Saeko, seeking an opportunity to attack again.
