Chapter 37 The Raging Evil Spirit
Chapter 37 The Raging Evil Spirit
"What is this thing!" Lie Huang, who was originally heading towards Qi Hao, was extremely surprised to see the ferocious purple monster that looked like a beast. However, he did not forget about fighting. He blocked the attack of the bronze bell with both hands and used a surprise attack (arriving first when the enemy attacks, and the attack is ineffective if the enemy does not attack) to knock the opponent away.
Bronze Bell noticed that Lie Huang's combat power was getting stronger and stronger, and his attacks were becoming more and more ferocious. As he kept pressing his belt, Lie Huang, who was initially evenly matched with him, was now even somewhat unhurried. It seemed that he had to use his full strength, otherwise the fight would not be able to drag on any longer.
Bronze Bell unleashed its superpowers, and Lie Huang realized that the other party had exerted its strength. However, he did not quite understand the situation on Qi Hao's side, so he had no choice but to start fighting with Bronze Bell again.
Meanwhile, the purple monster's attention was drawn to the Slashing Commander, and it pounced forward, its hands forming claws as it crossed to grab at the opponent.
Seeing this, Commander Pi Zhan tilted his body in the opposite direction of the giant sword in the opponent's mouth just before the attack landed, raised his hand, and pushed off with his back foot, attempting to cut the purple monster's arm in half.
Ding!
The scene that Commander of Slash had anticipated—slicing through the opponent's arm—did not occur. Instead, the opponent's steel hands directly grabbed Commander of Slash's blade. The purple monster's pupil-less red eyes curved slightly, its grinning mouth turned up even more, and its body twisted violently as if boneless, its neck rotating to its limit.
A gust of wind pressure appeared behind the commander's head as he was cleaved, but the immense force of the blade prevented him from breaking free.
coax!
The purple fire giant sword in the purple monster's mouth slammed into the back of Commander Cleave's head, the immense force sending him flying. Commander Cleave crashed into a wall, kicking up thick clouds of dust.
"Hehehehehehe." The purple monster laughed as always, took the greatsword back into its hand, and charged straight into the smoke and dust, intending to strike the Commander of Slashing Slashes again.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to get close, the purple monster seemed to have a premonition, and suddenly increased the distance, lowered its body, and gathered its strength again.
“Commander… (How pathetic…)” As the dust settled, Commander Pi Zhan stood there almost unharmed, patting the dust off his hands. There was a shallow scar on the back of his head. Apart from the wall being hit, the purple monster’s attack had only managed to injure him.
He then looked at the purple monster with a serious expression: "Since it can hurt me, it seems I need to take this seriously."
What happened next was unexpected: Commander Pi Zhan bowed to the other party and said, "I apologize for my previous disrespect."
He then stood up straight, the blades on his arms beginning to extend outwards, faintly gleaming with a cold light, revealing a murderous aura. At this point, he had officially recognized his opponent as a worthy adversary.
A red and black afterimage flashed by, and the Slashing Commander aimed straight for the head. The purple greatsword was held horizontally in front of the neck. The opponent barely managed to block the attack. Then the Slashing Commander disappeared again and reappeared behind the opponent. He swung his arm backward and attacked the back of the neck with the tip of his blade.
The purple monster suddenly lowered its head forward, then bent over, raised its sword with both hands, and actually did a front flip on the spot. The alloy floor was directly melted by the giant sword, and the giant sword, with inertia, directly slashed at the base of the cleaving commander's arm.
Seeing this, the commander sheathed his sword, whirled around, and slashed at the side of the greatsword with the other blade. This blow sent the greatsword flying from his hand, heading straight for Xiao Tie, who was still unable to move and was struggling to pick up scattered apples from the ground and put them in his mouth, trying to regain his mobility. (Xiao Tie: Is this never going to end?!)
Xiao Tie's pupils shrank dramatically. This sword was aimed squarely at Xiao Tie's face. If he were hit, he might be cut in two.
But the greatsword stopped just before it was about to touch Xiao Tie. Xiao Tie could even feel the high temperature emanating from the purplish-blue blade. A strange purple figure appeared in front of him, reaching out a hand to grab the hilt of the greatsword that was flying towards him at high speed.
Commander Pi Zhan didn't move, or rather, he was puzzled. The guy who was just in front of him suddenly moved to Xiao Tie's side at a speed similar to his.
Seeing this, Zhang Zengsong, who was not far away, said, "It is said that there was an experiment in which grasshoppers that could jump out of a jar were placed in the jar and the lid was used to limit their jumping height. After a while, when the lid was opened, the grasshoppers could not jump out. Then the jars were changed to be shorter and shorter, and the grasshoppers jumped shorter and shorter, until one time the experiment caught fire, and those grasshoppers jumped out of the jar again."
"Si... (So it's because you don't understand yourself enough that you're only now using this speed?)" Si asked Zhang Zengsong. This situation usually only occurs when a Pokémon has just evolved.
After explaining, Zhang Zengsong turned to Commander Pi Zhan and said, "Yes, that's right. Apart from not being of the same level, this guy seems to be on the same level as you in other aspects, and his strength even surpasses yours."
Commander Pi Zhan's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this: "Commander... (That's precisely why he can be considered an opponent.)"
Both disappeared simultaneously, and when they reappeared, their weapons had already clashed. The giant sword, as tall as a man, was swung by the purple monster, leaving afterimages, while the Commander of the Slashing Sword used both hands, and the sound of weapons clashing increased continuously.
The purple monster found an opportunity to sweep its greatsword horizontally, intending to cut the opponent in half at the waist. Although the Commander knew that the opponent's attack might only knock him away, he was not sure. He jumped back and grabbed the blade with his evil energy in mid-air, launching a surprise attack in the form of sword energy.
Seeing this, the purple monster brandished its giant sword, plunging it directly into the ground to receive the blow. The impact of the energy sent it staggering back several meters, the sword carving a large crater in the floor.
The moment the purple monster was attacked, it drew its greatsword and charged at the Slashing Commander. The Slashing Commander charged as well, but its target seemed to be someone else entirely. From the purple monster's perspective, the other monster passed right past it. Then, it turned around in the direction the other monster had run, its red eyes wide open.
Commander Pi's target is Little Iron again! (Hmm? Why did I say "again"?)
He raised his hand and swung the knife in one swift motion, the tip of the blade piercing straight between Xiao Tie's eyes!
puff
The sound of a knife piercing flesh rang out. The purple monster actually used its body to protect Xiao Tie. The blade pierced through Xiao Tie's back and came out through his abdomen, but the direction was off and it only cut Xiao Tie's arm.
"Commander. (Although Steel Crow's moves are shameless, they are indeed very effective. Sure enough, the little guy who can make you unleash that kind of speed is very important to you.)" Commander Slash pulled out his sword directly, and the purple monster grinned and spat out a mouthful of blood, which dripped onto Little Iron's face.
"Get lost, or I'll cut you down too..." The purple monster, spitting blood, seemed unaccustomed to speaking, and its words were somewhat incoherent.
Looking at the blood dripping onto his face and his pierced abdomen, Xiao Tie couldn't help but shed tears: "Big Brother..."
The purple monster grabbed a blood-stained apple and stuffed it into Xiao Tie's mouth, saying, "Stop making so much noise, I'm not your big brother."
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting! So monsters like you can communicate? Then may I ask what you are?" Zhang Zengsong, who was watching the show, clapped and asked questions, never one to miss a good spectacle.
"I am just an evil spirit." The evil spirit turned around, touching the wound on its abdomen. It swung its sword at the ground, and flames suddenly rose on the greatsword, then gathered on the wound. The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Goodness, it used the Regret Sword to exploit a bug.
"Oh? Do evil spirits choose to protect other things?" Zhang Zengsong still looked amused, but the next second, he turned his head to the side, and a giant sword flew past his hair.
"No, you've misunderstood! I'm not explaining, I'm not giving a notification!" The evil spirit's expression grew increasingly ferocious, then its figure vanished again. Seeing this, Commander Cleave prepared to strike, and then…
Then the evil spirit stopped halfway and yelled, "Ouch, my god!"
For a moment, everyone present except for the Fierce Emperor and Bronze Bell, who were still fighting, was stunned.
