Mao Liang reacted extremely quickly. Both of her hands were flung away by the force of the naginata's upward thrust, but she did not sit idly by and wait to die.
On the contrary, she was not worried at all about Dou Tang's close approach. Instead, she smiled ruthlessly, took a step forward, and responded!
With each step, her original balance was disrupted. She simply thrust her right hand, which was at the end of the pole, forward, and using the upward force of the naginata, she used her left hand holding the pole as the axis and her right hand at the end of the pole as the tip to raise the entire naginata vertically and use the pole to catch Dou Tang's longsword!
Dou Tang's horizontal slash struck the blade shaft squarely, the immense force bending it as if it were a club rather than a sharp blade, sending Mao Liang flying to the other side.
The rambunctious creature, sent flying, performed a backflip and landed with a thud.
They set up their positions again.
Dou Tang stood still, gently stroking the long sword in his hand, and looked at Mao Liang with a leisurely air.
Mao Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said with admiration, "Whether it's countering techniques or combat tactics, his ability to respond to and counter moves is absolutely brilliant. Even without this resentment, Mr. Ren would still be a top-notch expert among ordinary people."
Dou Tang gave a deep "hmm" without speaking, but instead shook his sword and stood facing Mao Liang, continuing to gather his strength.
Mao Liang shook the naginata from side to side, and took another long breath: "If Mr. Ren's weapon hadn't been slightly inferior to mine, that attack just now would probably have shattered the handle and disemboweled me."
“Mr. Ren, don’t you want to get a better sword? If you are willing to form an alliance with us, we can even prepare the most famous swords in the world for you.”
Dou Tang looked at the longsword in his hand, which had two chips in it, and sighed, "My allies are wiping out the forces of Jiuyin Shouwu and have destroyed all your preparations over this period of time. Do you think this deep-seated hatred can be resolved by simply saying that you want to form an alliance?"
“Of course!” Mao Liang raised an eyebrow, a rather arrogant smile on his face: “They are just ordinary people. Even the lives of thousands upon thousands of ordinary people are naturally no match for the help of someone like Mr. Ren!”
"Didn't Mr. Ren ever think about becoming someone who is above ordinary people? Not someone who is revered like an exorcist, but someone who completely regards the lives of ordinary people as objects in his palm, to be manipulated at will."
"To be a superior person, Mr. Ren, isn't that everyone's dream? Someone as outstanding as you naturally deserves such treatment."
Dou Tang looked at the fervor in Mao Liang's eyes and suddenly shook his head.
"Give me a break."
"To become someone superior to others? Perhaps that's what some people dream of, to live a better life than others. Human desires are nothing more than these things."
“But I don’t care!” Dou Tang suddenly exclaimed.
“Those things are not what I seek at all, and they have nothing to do with me! Rambutan…that is what I seek!”
He glared at Mao Liang's arrogant face and said, "The only way is to kill you bunch of self-proclaimed noble and vile trash."
Mao Liang's eyes twitched, and he clicked his tongue, saying, "Hypocritical charlatans, in the end, are nothing more than upholding what humans consider to be justice."
"The survival of the fittest is the most basic thing that living things should do."
She brandished her naginata and continued her attack, swinging it slightly to the left and right, creating an astonishing wall of blade light.
Dou Tang stepped forward with his sword, trembling the blade to meet the dazzling sword light. The two weapons clashed and struck each other in the air, filling the entire floor with the clanging sound of weapons colliding.
The sounds of clashing weapons continued, but Dou Tang began to slowly retreat.
A dark brown light seemed to have enveloped Maolang's naginata. This evil light made the naginata's blade path even more unpredictable and more damaging. After dozens of moves, several chips appeared on Dou Tang's longsword, and the area around the tip of the sword became pitted and uneven.
It seems that overwhelming superiority in weaponry cannot make up for it, tsk.
That being the case...
Dou Tang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Instead of retreating, he advanced and suddenly slashed out with his sword, deflecting the blade light in front of him and striking the blade of the naginata directly. The pitted blade of the sword briefly entangled with the naginata.
Then, he suddenly let go, and the longsword flew out of his hand. He then used the opening of this move to rush into the space behind the naginata and grabbed the hilt in his hand.
"call--"
The dark resentment was released and corroded the naginata, where it merged with the dark brown light and suddenly produced a series of small crackling sounds.
"You!" Mao Liang bared his teeth and frowned, suddenly drawing his naginata with both hands, but his whole body paused slightly.
It didn't move!
Dou Tang and she stared at each other, both hands gripping the hilt of the sword tightly, even tucking the naginata under their armpits, using half of their body strength to firmly control the naginata.
The dark, resentful energy, accompanied by crackling sounds, left twisted, snake-like lightning strike marks on the blade, reaching towards Mao Liang's hands!
Mao Liang clicked his tongue, his face showing difficulty. Just before the resentment reached his hand, he released his weapon, lightly touched the ground with his feet, and distanced himself from Dou Tang.
Only at this moment did Mao Liang truly understand the gap between herself and Dou Tang. In other words, Dou Tang, who had just been wielding a weapon, was at a disadvantage, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was merely sparring with her.
"Mr. Ren... is so powerful!" Although Mao Liang harbored resentment, she still honestly praised him.
It seems that while this monster looks down on ordinary people, it also genuinely respects the strong. If anything, it's an overly straightforward monster.
Dou Tang then threw the naginata far away, stretched his wrists, and said, "Thank you. Your moves have many merits and have broadened my horizons."
After the compliment, Dou Tang's eyes darkened: "But what do you plan to do next? If you can't win, have you thought of what you can say to make me spare your life, Mao Liang?"
Mao Liang chuckled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said, "Hmm... Well then, how about I provide Mr. Ren with some information?"
Dou Tang shook his head and asked in return, "I want to ask you, as a demon, do you remember how many people you've killed?"
Mao Liang's smile suddenly froze, his face turned ashen, and he said coldly, his lips twitching, "Mr. Ren, you don't really think of yourself as some kind of judge who judges people, do you?"
"You think you're so clever? A monster judge? You really don't know your place."
Dou Tang shook his head and smiled: "Not a judge."
"It should be the judge."
Mao Liang seemed to be angry again, silently taking two steps back, his eyes darting around, as if trying to determine the location of the entire floor by looking at the traces of the battle on the ground.
She glanced at the tea table that had been split in two not far away, then looked in one direction and took a deep breath.
She raised her hands and assumed a fighting stance.
Dou Tang was pleasantly surprised to see this and said, "You can even use your bare hands? Why don't we try again?"
Maolang chuckled, reached into the wide sleeves of his haori and produced several spheres, which he then threw hard at the ground!
"Bang bang!"
With a few loud bangs, several huge fluffy balls suddenly appeared in front of the two. These two fluffy balls were brownish-yellow all over, and their size even completely blocked Dou Tang's vision.
Behind the fluffy ball, footsteps could be heard, and taking advantage of the opportunity, the fluffy ball turned and ran away!
She took off running, rushing towards the location she had already planned. Although it was now shrouded in dark resentment, she could still recognize what it looked like.
As she ran, she took off her haori, revealing a strange device underneath.
That was a black extreme sports flying squirrel suit!
She placed her hands on either side of her body, and a layer of flying squirrel wings appeared. She leaped up with all her might, enveloped in brownish-yellow light, and crashed into Dou Tang's resentment barrier.
The barrier of resentment shattered along with the glass behind it, and she herself leaped out from the height, stretching her body in the air.
The choice of the 30th floor as the battleground was not without reason; it was Mao Liang's pre-planned escape route!
With arms outstretched, feet pressed together and then outstretched again, the buttercup transformed into a flying squirrel that blended into the night, flying against the street towards another low building in the distance.
I never imagined that Mr. Ren would be this terrifying... His strength is probably even greater than some powerful demons, right?
Exorcists in the new era are truly terrifying...
As she thought this, she leisurely rolled over and even started flying backwards in the air, while simultaneously peering back at the broken window on the top floor.
Then, her eyes widened suddenly.
what is that? !
The dark, resentful aura that had enveloped the entire floor seemed to condense into a giant ball, transforming into a hazy barrier that obscured vision. It contained something that fell from the sky and then, defying all the laws of physics, flew over?!
Enveloped in resentment, Maolang, through eyes that could see through the barrier of resentment, witnessed a horrifying truth.
That was... a... a giant dragon?!
Mao Liang wanted to cry out, but found that all her voices were tightly suppressed in her throat.
Behind them, a giant dragon, shrouded in resentment and adorned with dreamy pink and light blue hues, was gradually approaching.
"Roar!!!"
Don't come any closer!
Chapter 49 Dragon Hunting
The raging dragon, accompanied by a hurricane, was drenched in cold rain, which slid off its wings and body, creating a hazy and torrential curtain of rain.
This scene was like the most absurd and ridiculous nightmare.
Only the monstrous dragon, visible only by its malevolent form, had a ferocious face. On its other, pale face lay indifference and scrutiny. The dragon swung its long tail, opened its mouth wide, and roared as it stretched its body in the air.
"Whoa!!!"
Thunder and roars mingled together, waking the entire night immersed in torrential rain.
Wearing the flying squirrel suit, Maolang was so frightened that she almost fell down. She no longer dared to fly lying on her back, but turned around, tucked her head in, and began to accelerate.
She cut through the cold rain and the wind, and the pure black flying squirrel seemed to melt into the rainy night as it passed in front of a building. She turned her head to look at the glass curtain wall of the building, and her own figure was so blurry that it could not be seen clearly.
Looking back through the glass curtain wall, what she saw was still just as horrifying.
A colossal dragon passed by the building, its glass curtain wall trembling with the airflow generated by its flapping wings as the massive creature grazed the building.
Moro was uneasy, and panic grew in her heart, but she did not give up. Instead, she decided to use her mobility to shake off the strange creature.
She slightly clenched her hands, her speed suddenly increased, and she turned her body, almost brushing the edge of the building as she made a turn. This inhuman movement caused her whole body to emit subtle creaking sounds.
After the sharp turn, she flew forward again, skimming the edge of the building. This perfect 90-degree turn was a special skill she possessed as a monster.
But the dragon was beyond her imagination.
The ferocious dragon folded its wings and plummeted straight down like a missile, releasing all its forward momentum into its descent. Then it tilted its body and spread its wings again.
"Snapped!"
The dragon suddenly spread its wings, creating a sound like the air bursting open, which momentarily disrupted the rain. After this maneuver, the dragon successfully turned around and was now below the buttercup.
Those inhuman dragon eyes stared intently at Mao Liang.
This sent a chill down the spine of the buttercup high up. The feeling of being treated as prey was something the buttercup hadn't experienced in a long time, but at this moment, the dragon's gaze... was not just that of prey, but that of food already being devoured.
The dragon flapped its wings and soared upwards, spreading its arms wide. Only then could Maolang notice that, within the giant...
The dragon's enormous wings and tail, and the body beneath its head, were actually the ridiculous body of a jelly bean.
Fall Guys?!
She understood immediately.
Before she could say anything, her fear turned to understanding, and she was completely grabbed by the giant dragon Fall Bean's large hands, lifted up to a high place, all the way to the top of a tall building.
The giant dragon Fall Guy flapped its wings, pinning down the struggling buttercup with its hands, and crashed into the helipad at the top of the building.
"call--"
Folding its wings, the dragon transformed into a stream of light, with pale blue and pink radiance flowing behind it. It then thrust the basil in its hand forward, falling to the ground like a shooting star.
"boom!"
The helipad shattered, the huge H-shape was split into countless pieces by spiderweb-like cracks, and the entire skyscraper seemed to tremble for a moment because of the heavy impact.
The tarmac had collapsed into ruins, and in the shattered reinforced concrete crater, Maolang struggled and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The giant dragon, Fall Guy, pressed down on her body with both hands, and its ferocious dragon head slowly lowered until it was less than ten centimeters away from the buttercup's eyes.
The indifference and scrutiny in the dragon's eyes were so dazzling, so...horrifying.
With blood at the corner of her mouth, Maolang smiled, revealing her teeth stained red with blood.
"Ah... I didn't expect you to be... Fall Guy, that... that Fall Guy..."
Her eyes gradually dimmed, as if she were about to die.
Dou Tang slowly released the monster in front of him, preparing to receive her crown.
But at that moment, Mao Liang took a deep breath, making a "hoarse" sound in her throat, and then a brilliant light burst forth from her eyes, which had been dim.
The dazzling golden light, like a slender living creature, flowed to the top of the buttercup's head and solidified into a crown engraved with ancient streets and alleys and cats.
The crown was exquisitely crafted, depicting an ancient city that looked so real, while a cat walking in the street wagged its tail, and strangely enough, the cat had more than one tail.
Dou Tang didn't step forward, but stood there watching coldly, as if he didn't care what Mao Liang would do with the crown, or as if he had enough confidence.
The confidence to defeat the opponent.
After the crown solidified, Maolang suddenly straightened up, let out a long breath, and her eyes returned to their original darkness. Then, she arched her body and shot away into the distance like an arrow released from a bow.
But Dou Tang was faster than her. The giant dragon Bean Man strode forward, its claws reaching out to slam her to the ground with a thud.
“Hmm…”
