Chapter 18: Gyokko? Night Pot!

"Gyokko, your pot is the... ugliest one I've ever seen!!!"

"Ah ah ah!!! You damn stinky kid! You guy with a brain full of muscles and not a bit of artistic cells! How could you understand my art..."

Before Gyokko could finish speaking, he felt a killing intent that hit his soul, and his body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

I saw Zero's scarlet eyes looking very bloodthirsty in this night, plus that evil smile full of anger, which made him somewhat frightened...

"Kid? Hehehehe... Hahahahaha... Gyokko, you dare to call me kid?! The last evil demon who called me kid is already dead. I don't know if you... can withstand my anger next!?"

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!...

I saw the space around Zero fluctuate, and 【Destroyer Micro-Drones】 appeared in the air behind him, totaling 20.

But it wasn't over yet. 8 【Dark Alloy Cross Floating Cannons】 appeared around Zero's left and right and behind him.

The 【Quantum Dual Guns】 in his hand aimed at Gyokko, and he said: "Gyokko little brat, I will accompany you to play next! Are you ready to bear my anger?!"

Zero had already made up his mind, not only to behead Gyokko, but also to break Gyokko's psychological defense line before that, making him wish he were dead and unable to die in peace!

Hearing these words, the arms on Gyokko's body couldn't help but clench, and he roared: "I am a dignified Upper Moon demon, how could I be scared by you, a human guy! You guy without a bit of artistic cells, go to hell!!"

Gyokko suddenly changed two pots with his two hands, and released two carp that could live in the air from them.

"Blood Demon Art. Thousand Needle..."

Bang! Bang!

Before Gyokko could shout his Blood Demon Art, the two carp just released from the two pots were killed by Zero with dual guns, turning into ashes and dissipating in the air.

Seeing this, Gyokko was about to get angry, but Zero fired two more shots and shattered the two pots in his hands.

"Ah ah ah!!! I must kill you! Daring to destroy my pot..."

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before Gyokko could finish his words, Zero fired several shots in a row.

Gyokko, who had already seen the power of this pistol, already understood that if he were hit again, his regenerative power would be restrained. Although the time was not very long, it could make him lose a favorable opportunity.

So he immediately hid in the pot the moment Zero fired, and appeared in another direction.

"Hehehehe... playing hide and seek? Interesting!"

Controlling the drones to fly in all directions, he received every picture captured by the drone through the 【Analysis Glasses】.

And through the conversation just now, Zero knew a little bit about Gyokko's personality. He guessed that Gyokko was probably cruel and conceited, talkative and liked to mock others, and liked to go against the laws of nature the most.

He opened his mouth to mock: "Gyokko, you claim to be an artist? Why are you like a coward... ah no, you are a ghost! And ah... your pot is simply ugly and ugly, not like an artwork at all. I'm afraid you can't find a pot uglier than this in the world!"

"Also tell you one thing, your pot is crooked... not symmetrical at all!"

Creak!

Gyokko, hiding in the pot, heard this and was instantly furious. The arms on his body and head clenched his fists and made a sound.

He would never allow anyone to say anything about his pot. He only felt that his pot was an artwork, the most perfect artwork in the world.

Now Zero said these words, making him immediately pop his head out and start refuting: "You damn guy..."

Bang!

Before Gyokko could finish his words, the drone fired a shot at him, scaring him to immediately hide in the pot and appear in another direction, and the pot where he was just now had been shattered and turned into ashes.

Then he popped his head out again: "You..."

Bang!

"I absolutely don't..."

Bang!

"Have the ability..."

Bang!

"You don't let me finish..."

Bang!

"Ah ah ah!! I must kill..."

Bang!

"Damn it..."

Bang!

Gyokko almost collapsed every time he dodged the drone's attack. Just as he popped his head out, his words were interrupted by another drone attack before he could finish, making him feel more and more angry.

He intended to escape, but Zero's next words stimulated Gyokko again! Making him unable to stand the stimulation anymore, he decided that he must kill Zero to eliminate his hatred and the anger in his heart!!

"Gyokko, you are an Upper Moon demon, why are you so timid, not even daring to show your head! Only hiding in the pot!"

"Your pot is not only ugly, but also very ugly, and very smelly! I think you should stop calling yourself Gyokko, just change your name to Night Pot, so it is more appropriate for you and your pot!"

Zero black-belliedly controlled the drones to shoot black guns at Gyokko while venomously stimulating Gyokko's mentality.

"Damn it! You damn demon slayer..."

Bang!

"Why do you say my pot..."

Bang!

"I must..."

Bang!

"Do you believe I..."

Bang!

Gyokko was furious. Every time he popped his head out, he was interrupted by the attack before he could finish his words, and he felt more and more angry.

He directly used Blood Demon Art to create two huge alien carp in the pot and released them.

The two huge alien carp were at least seven or eight meters high, with four huge legs under their bellies.

There were two abnormally strong arms on both sides of the body, and four huge pots behind the fins.

There were sharp teeth in the upper and lower rows of the mouth. This kind of alien carp made by Blood Demon Art looked very disgusting and ugly.

Immediately after, the two huge alien carp rushed over, and the trees around them also fell one by one because of the collision of these two giant carp, making a violent sound.

As the trees fell, a large open space was formed around them.

"Hehe... today I'll have a barbecue!"

Controlling the 【Dark Alloy Cross Floating Cannon】 to switch from defense mode to attack mode, and turned on the burning flame mode.

The cross floating cannons were divided into two batches, and the tails were aimed at the two giant carp to spray flames. Because red energy crystals were added, the temperature of the flames emitted was nearly a thousand degrees.

And Zero was not idle, directly using the 【Quantum Dual Guns】 to aim at the legs of the giant carp and fire, shattering the biological function of the giant carp's legs, turning them into ashes.

Because they lost their legs, the giant carp could not move and fell to the ground, becoming fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

In just a few seconds, the giant carp turned into red roasted fish, and even emitted a trace of fragrance.

The attack was not over yet. I saw the drones also flew over, constantly shooting at the four huge pots on the back of the giant carp.

The high-explosive bullets fired by the drones with energy crystals shattered the pots and turned them into ashes, and the giant carp disappeared because of this.

"Hehe, nothing more than that!"

However, Gyokko's attack was not over yet. The few seconds that the giant carp fought for him allowed him to release two Blood Demon Arts.

"Blood Demon Art. Blood Hell Bowl!"

"Blood Demon Art. Octopus Pot Hell!"

Two Blood Demon Arts were released from Gyokko's pot. I saw the water bowl flying toward Zero as if it had life.

And following closely behind was the giant octopus tentacle.

Zero had already learned through the 【Analysis Glasses】 that the Blood Hell Bowl could trap opponents. Its water wall was very soft and very hard, and it could also limit the opponent's breathing, making them suffocate to death.

And the giant octopus's powerful tentacles were soft and elastic, and could strangle opponents.

Gyokko's idea was very simple. As long as he trapped Zero with the Blood Hell Bowl, making him unable to breathe, and then trapped him with octopus tentacles, he would slowly torture Zero and turn him into art.

But Gyokko could think of it, how could Zero not know!? Even so, Zero didn't have any breathing method at all, so he didn't need to worry about this, and he had already thought of a corresponding strategy.

Zero controlled a 【Dark Alloy Cross Floating Cannon】 to come in front of him to block the Blood Hell Bowl.

And he himself took out the 【Dark Alloy Missile Launcher】 from his nano-space and fired missiles at the giant octopus tentacles.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Boom!...

Ten missiles were fired in unison, destroying all the tentacles of the giant octopus, and the flames produced by the explosion burned the tentacles, and the smell of roasted octopus filled the air.

"Blood Demon Art. Ten Thousand Gliding Sticky Fish!"

The moment the giant octopus tentacles were destroyed, Gyokko took out ten sticky fish pattern pots and summoned ten thousand sharp-toothed sticky fish from the pots.

These sticky fish would eat up the opponent's bones and flesh, and after being cut off, they would splash out toxic body fluids, and the toxins could enter the opponent's body through the opponent's skin.

"Just in time, taste this! Uh hahahahaha!!!" Zero directly took out the 【Dark Alloy Gatling】 that had been prepared in advance from his nano-space and fired a rapid sweep at those sticky fish!

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat...

Injecting energy crystals, the machine gun 【Dark Alloy Gatling】 with red fire began to sweep wildly, colliding with the ten thousand gliding sticky fish released by Gyokko, blowing up those sticky fish.

Not only that, the deafening machine gun sound caused sand and dust to roll up around, and the toxic liquid splashed by those sticky fish was all burned by the high-temperature flames of the remaining 7 【Dark Alloy Cross Floating Cannons】 controlled by Zero.

During this period, he also used the 【Analysis Glasses】 to control the cross floating cannon trapped by the Blood Hell Bowl to emit high temperature, evaporating the Blood Hell Bowl.

Seeing this, Gyokko didn't know how to describe the person in front of him.

After the sweep ended, only a mess was left around, and a smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.

But Gyokko found that Zero had disappeared in place, and his figure was gone, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"That guy... where did that guy go? Where? Where exactly?"

Just as Gyokko was looking for Zero's figure, Zero appeared behind Gyokko at some point, took out one of the 【Dark Alloy Type IV】, and slashed at Gyokko's neck.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be slashed!"

Pfft!

Gyokko's head was cut off, but Zero didn't feel the real feeling of cutting into meat, as if he had just cut on a thick piece of paper, easily passing through.

After Zero landed, he looked at the pot, only to find that only a piece of skin was left. Only then did he remember the analysis data of the 【Analysis Glasses】 earlier: Gyokko has two forms.

It is estimated that at the moment Gyokko was about to be cut off his neck, he completed molting.

The fact was indeed as Zero expected, Gyokko appeared on another tree after molting.

After molting, Gyokko had webs between his palms, his lower body looked like a snake, and his whole body was covered with scales harder than diamond, but his body was very soft.

And Zero also noticed a record in the data just now: Gyokko possesses the "God's Hand" that can turn everything touched by the fist into fish.

Gyokko twisted his body and climbed onto a tree, the snake-tail-like lower body wrapped around the tree trunk, looking down at Zero, mocking: "Hehehehe~ Just now it was just my carelessness, now let you see my true face!"

"(? _?) Oh~ saw it now, and then? Night Pot, what do you want to say?"

Gyokko saw Zero's appearance and was furious, roaring there: "Shut up, you guy without artistic cells! Daring to insult me like this! I must..."

However, before Gyokko could finish speaking, Zero took out the 【Dark Alloy Gatling】 again and aimed it at Gyokko. The eight gun barrels of the machine gun began to rotate, seemingly ready to fire at any time.

"Night Pot, what did you want to say just now? I didn't hear clearly... can you please say it again? What did you say you must do just now?"

Gyokko clenched his hands, very angry. He didn't expect this demon slayer in front of him to have so many strange weapons.

Not only did he beat him so embarrassed just now, but what he said was also very annoying.

But Zero didn't care what Gyokko was thinking, and directly mocked again: "Night Pot, you are just like that coward Kibutsuji Muzan. I guess Kibutsuji Muzan is also a waste who is neither human nor ghost!

Speaking of which, I once investigated one thing. Three hundred years ago, Kibutsuji Muzan seemed to be chased by a swordsman named Tsugikuni Yoriichi and ran around, not even daring to let out a fart! Scared to hide!"

Gyokko heard Zero say these words and was even more angry: "Shut up, you damn human, don't you dare insult that noble Muzan-sama! I must kill you! Must kill you!"

Hearing Gyokko shout Muzan's name, Zero's previous guess was confirmed again, that is, Upper Moon demons shouting Kibutsuji Muzan's name will not die!

But Gyokko didn't think so. In his heart, Kibutsuji Muzan was undoubtedly the most noble person who understood his art.

He would never allow anyone to say anything about Kibutsuji Muzan.

"Go to hell!"

Swish!

Gyokko's extremely fast attack suddenly appeared in front of Zero. The moment the attack was about to fall, Zero quickly retreated to avoid this blow.

Gyokko's fist, which was avoided by Zero, fell to the ground, and the ground was smashed into a big pit, turning into a strip of fish.

Zero didn't dare to use his weapons to block the attack, because he didn't know if his weapons would also turn into a strip of fish if touched by Gyokko's attack?

Moreover, he had already given the 【Quantum Shield】 to Auntie Kie, so he didn't dare to take risks for the time being. He didn't want to do things he wasn't sure about!

"Hehehehe~ Why are you running! Weren't you very powerful just now? I haven't used my full strength yet~ As long as you are hit by my God's Hand, you will turn into fresh fish! Even if your weapons are powerful, it's useless!"

Ugh~

Zero smelled a foul smell in the air and kept retching.

"You fresh fish... are smellier than the stinky socks that my comrade number one hasn't washed for several months! Ugh~ As expected of you Night Pot, the fish you turned into are as smelly as your asymmetrical night pot! Ugh~"

Hearing the word Night Pot again, the anger in Gyokko's heart erupted again, obviously losing his mind!

"Blood Demon Art. Array Kill Fish Scales!"

The scales on Gyokko's body radiated red light, twisting his body and moving at high speed, so fast that only shadows could be seen.

Extremely fast repeated jumping, using smooth scales to make his movement trajectory difficult to predict, while taking the opportunity to attack Zero.

But how could Zero let him do what he wanted, controlling the 【Dark Alloy Cross Floating Cannon】 to switch to defense mode, rotating at high speed around himself, the speed faster than Gyokko's attack, making him unable to get close.

After Gyokko's attack ended, the cross floating cannons directly surrounded Gyokko, and his head was also surrounded by 20 drones, unable to retreat at all.

"Night Pot, game over!"

Crack!

All the cross floating cannons switched to attack mode, the ends aimed at Gyokko and fired high-temperature bullets, and the drones also began to shoot high-explosive bullets wildly.

Gyokko had no time to escape, and could only protect his head with his arms and protect his body with his tail.

And Zero took out Type I and Type II and appeared behind Gyokko, alternating the two knives to cut off Gyokko's neck...

"Eh? What's going on? Why is the world starting to turn upside down?" Gyokko didn't understand what happened at this moment, only seeing Zero holding two red knives in his hand.

Seeing those two red knives, a strange memory floated in his mind...

Until his head fell to the ground, Gyokko realized that he had been beheaded.

"Cut... cut off? Actually cut off! Head cut off! Impossible! This is impossible!! I don't believe it!!"

Gyokko didn't want to believe this fact, his head roared on the ground.

"How is it possible?! How could I be cut off my neck by a humble stinky kid! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zero: (▼ヘ▼#)

Hearing the evil demon call himself a stinky kid again, Zero said directly to Gyokko's head on the ground: "Evil demon little cu (te) tie (bastard), you wait for me!"

He took out a special large syringe at least half a meter long and 10 centimeters wide from his nano-space, then walked to Gyokko's body that hadn't dissipated, and stabbed it directly to start drawing blood!

"Ah ah ah! Stop it, what do you want to do to my Gyokko master's body?! Stop it!"

Zero didn't care about Gyokko's shouting, directly drew a full syringe of blood, and Gyokko's body accelerated the speed of turning into ashes because a large amount of blood was drawn.

Then Zero put the syringe full of Gyokko's blood into his nano-space, summoned the messenger crow Xue hiding in the tree not far away, and said: "Xue, work hard to check the situation around here again, see if there are any other missing demons."

"Yes, Master." The messenger crow Xue didn't understand why its master wanted it to do this, but still obeyed the order.

And it also had to notify the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters of the news that Zero beheaded the Upper Moon demon, so that everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps knew about this.

Watching the messenger crow Xue leave, Zero came to Gyokko's head who was still chattering, took off the 【Analysis Glasses】, and was about to speak, but was a little worried.

Carefully checking the surroundings again, he found that there was indeed no one else, and then he felt relieved.

Taking a deep breath, he began to curse: "Shut up, you dirty and disgusting guy! You don't even look at what kind of bird you are! Neither human nor ghost, looking at it makes me want to retch!"

"Other evil demons have three heads and six arms, I think you are just a head and two arms! You are not only ugly, but your pot is as ugly as you!"

"Your pot is not symmetrical! Even if it's not symmetrical, it's so disgusting and flashy! Even if it's flashy, the things you make are as smelly as if you blew up your own toilet!"

"You are so powerful, why don't you go to heaven and shoulder to shoulder with the sun?! You are so capable, why don't you spiral into the sky like a rocket with sparks!"

"Ugly and beautiful, you are still shouting here about how powerful you are! I think you should stop calling yourself Gyokko in the future, just change your name to Upper Moon Five Night Pot!"

"Always shouting, shouting, shouting, how far your art dream is, just get as far away from me as you can!!!"

Gyokko, whose head had disappeared by one-third, heard these words from Zero and didn't continue to shout, but shed tears.

Not because he was in so much pain, but because what Zero said was very heartbreaking and very venomous.

Almost every sentence was like a knife, deeply stabbing into his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, the more angry he became, and he shouted again: "Ah ah ah ah! Damn guy! I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"

"You still have the face to cry! If you are not reconciled, just get out of here!!!"

Thump!

He kicked Gyokko's head that hadn't dissipated, hit a tree trunk, and then bounced back.

"You still dare to come back?! Get out!!!"

Thump!

Another kick kicked Gyokko's head away. This time it didn't bounce back. But coincidentally, a tree that had been devastated couldn't support it anymore and just happened to fall down and hit Gyokko's head.

As a result, Gyokko's head was like a soap held in one hand, and it was bounced out, and it landed in front of Zero again.

"(ー`′ー) Give me... get out!!!!!"

Bang!

This time, the kick was more forceful, directly kicking Gyokko's head, which had disappeared by half, into the air, and then controlled the drone to blow it up...

Looking at Gyokko, who was blown up by the drone's high-explosive bullets without even leaving any residue, Zero seemed to feel a little relieved in his heart.

Putting all the weapons back into the nano-space, he came to the bodies of the five swordsmen, arranged their bodies, and took out a few pieces of white cloth from the nano-space to cover them...

The sky had begun to brighten. Zero stood by the bodies and guarded them without leaving, until later the messenger crow Xue led the cleanup squad to this place.

"Pillar Zero!" A cleanup squad member respectfully shouted at Zero.

He had also heard about the matter on the way here, that Zero alone beheaded the Upper Moon demon, which made them admire him very much.

"Bury them well..."

"Yes, Pillar Zero!"

"If I had discovered it earlier and arrived earlier, maybe... these five little brats wouldn't have died..."

The cleanup squad member who heard this also felt bad in his heart.

"Pillar Zero, please don't say that... they must have also been prepared for the awakening..."

Before he could finish his words, Zero raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

"I know, I understand... handle this place as soon as possible, I want to go back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to help the lord treat his curse."

"Yes, Pillar Zero! Wish you good luck in the battle!"
