—Others are unaware of his weaknesses!
Chapter 418 Sincerity is the Greatest Weapon
To be fair, if Hantengu is determined to stall for time, unless someone has extraordinary senses like Tanjiro, he could fight four Pillars all night long.
It's not impossible that they could even be dragged down to their deaths.
This is also a tactic that Hantengu has always used: first, he pretends to be weak and deliberately gets cut down, then he splits into clones to gang up on the enemy, while the main body hides aside.
If all else fails, then we can reunite and release the vengeful spirit.
This time, however, he encountered Xia Yan...
Not only is he strong enough to instantly kill his four clones, but he also already knows all of his abilities, and possesses the Byakugan and the Transparent World, which allow him to search for enemies on a large scale and see through everything.
They can only be described as natural enemies...
"No way! Natsuhiko-kun will definitely be back soon!" Kanroji Mitsuri clearly had plenty of faith in Natsuhiko. "He almost killed you just now!"
"Since dealing with you was so easy, killing that Upper Moon Four shouldn't be too difficult either!"
"...Damn it! Who do you think you are, you disgusting pink-haired shrew!"
Although Kanroji Mitsuri's words were unintentional, they were like a thorn in Gyokuko's side. After all, he had almost been killed by Natsuhiko, which was why he tried to lure Natsuhiko to Hantengu's side.
In other words, he was scared!
He feared Natsuhiko, who, despite being human, was able to kill Upper Moon Two and Upper Moon Three.
Staying here to fight Kanroji Mitsuri now is nothing more than trying to salvage the situation and prevent the punishment he receives from being too severe!
"Huh!? I didn't mean to look down on you, you're really strong."
Seeing that Gyokuko seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, Kanroji Mitsuri quickly waved her hand and said, "I was just telling the truth. After all, you really did almost have your head chopped off by Natsuhiko-kun..."
"You're looking down on me with that kind of talk! You brat! You've only lived for a little over ten years, what right do you have to judge me!"
"Hey, by the way, the ghost's actual age seems to be different from its appearance. So you're hundreds of years old! You're even older than my great-great-grandfather!"
Kanroji Mitsuri put on a beady look and muttered to herself thoughtfully.
Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he said, "But you're a man-eating demon, why should I respect you?!"
"And he looks so strange..."
"Shut up! You ill-mannered country bumpkin!" Yu Hu interrupted Ganluji Mitsuri's rambling excitedly.
As the saying goes, sincerity is always the most powerful weapon.
Kanroji Mitsuri's heartfelt words were like a small knife, stabbing into Gyokukō's back again and again.
He considers himself an artist, viewing his body as his most perfect masterpiece, yet he is now being called ugly, and this is a completely heartfelt evaluation without any malicious mockery.
"A freak like you with disgusting pink hair, even if you held a knife to my neck, you couldn't leave a single scar on my magnificent and beautiful body!"
"But all I need to do is stall for time until Xia Yanjun comes back. He'll definitely be able to chop off your head!"
"..."
Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.
Although Xia Yan's two strikes failed to kill him, they left Yu Hu with psychological trauma.
Now that the other party has brought it up again and again, it's like Garen whispering something, leaving him speechless and vulnerable.
Moreover, from the moment he appeared, Yu Hu felt as if someone was watching him, which gave him a chilling feeling, as if everything about him had been seen through.
But Yu Hu could not find the person who was observing him.
That's why he didn't dare to go all out, which is why Kanroji Mitsuri has persisted until now without suffering any real harm.
Mitsuri Kanroji's words also served as a reminder to him. If the Tengu really proved to be weak and died too quickly, allowing Natsuhiko to escape ahead of time, then with the two Pillars attacking him, he would likely only have one fate...
"Tch! Although your strength is not up to par, time is limited, so I will reluctantly show you my true strength."
"Feel honored! You are the third person to see my true face!"
As it spoke, the jade pot emerged from its empty shell, much like a reptile shedding its skin.
"Huh? The third one, so there were two before that...?"
"Shut up!" Gyokuko interrupted Kanroji Mitsuri in exasperation. "Once I unleash my true power, everyone will die!"
"You're kidding me. If you were really that strong, how come you're still Lower Moon Five?"
"Shut up, you damned old hag!"
"My crystal-clear scales are harder and more solid than diamonds. Behold this flawless jade body that I have meticulously carved inside the pot! Why don't you kneel down and worship!"
As if showing off, Yu Hu proudly displayed her body.
After molting, Yu Hu's body size increased significantly. While retaining his facial features and muscular physique, he also had a more human-like body covered with transparent white scales similar to those of a fish.
Longer, fish-tail-shaped hairs grew on its head, cascading down to its shoulders.
The demonic markings on its forehead connected, its lower body transformed into a snake's tail, its arms turned blue and webbed, and the eyes and corners of its mouth split open, making it appear somewhat ferocious.
What started as a strange, unidentified creature transformed into a half-human, half-snake monster resembling Medusa.
Although it's not much better, it's definitely much better than before.
However, for women, it might not be as pleasing to the eye as before...
"Ugh—it's slippery like a snake, it feels disgusting!"
Kanroji Mitsuri couldn't help but shiver, but before she could finish speaking, Gyokko suddenly rushed over and slammed his fist, as big as a sandbag, into Kanroji Mitsuri's face without mercy.
“——So fast!”
Mi Li's pupils suddenly contracted. She saw that Yu Hu's movements were extremely strange, but its speed was unexpectedly fast. Like a snake launching an attack, it twisted its body and rushed over.
bang bang bang-
A series of collision sounds rang out.
Kanroji Mitsuri staggered and dodged Gyokuko's attack, her haori mostly destroyed, making her look extremely disheveled.
Puffs of smoke rose, obscuring the shape of the jade pot.
Chapter 419 A deafening roar in the sky, and the hero makes a dazzling entrance.
The smoke slowly dispersed.
The jade pot, with a human upper body and a snake lower body like a Naga, was crouching on the ground in a superhero squatting pose.
The ground was riddled with craters from his impact, as if it had been plowed by bombs, giving one the feeling of being transported back to the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield.
The next second, the soil that he had smashed and churned up came to life, turning into lively sea fish, staring blankly at the sky, thrashing about on the ground.
At the same time, the tattered edges of the haori on Kanroji Mitsuri's body turned into live fish and fell to the ground with a splash.
"Ugh—what is this?! It's slippery and disgusting!!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Kanroji Mitsuri suddenly shivered, her pink hair standing on end in shock.
She wasn't actually afraid of snakes or fish, those slippery, scaly animals.
But the premise is to avoid any sudden physical contact with her!
The clothes she was wearing turned into slippery, sticky live fish, jumping around on the ground, which made Kanroji Mitsuri feel a sense of unease.
"Oh my, hehehe, you actually dodged my attack, I'll give you a little praise!"
"How about that? My God Hand is really powerful, isn't it? Anything that touches my fist will turn into a cute little live fish."
"And this speed, the supple yet resilient elasticity of my body, combined with the undulating waves of my scales, allows me to gallop freely! I feel so free!"
Perhaps it was the integrity of a self-proclaimed artist, but Yu Hu spread out his hands, explaining his abilities in detail as if introducing his own outstanding work.
When he got excited, he even started dancing with joy.
If it weren't for his unconventional appearance and unique aesthetic sense, he would indeed have the air of an artist.
"La la la~, you're trembling, are you scared? I wasn't even serious about that attack just now~" Yu Hu's voice trailed off with an upward inflection, giving off a cheeky and irritating vibe.
"Shut up! I told you I'd protect everyone until Xia Yanjun comes back! Bring it on! I absolutely won't lose to bad guys!"
Even so, Kanroji Mitsuri still felt a lingering fear when she thought about what had just happened.
The sudden attack and the surge in speed put her on high alert, her attention was focused like never before, and her body seemed to have been stimulated and entered some kind of stress response.
In that instant, Kanroji Mitsuri felt the hairs on her body stand on end.
His senses were sharper than ever before, his condition was better than ever before, and all the potential power in his body was brought into play.
It's like I've only just realized who I am today.
That's why she was able to dodge Yu Hu's attack without getting hurt.
"So you're just talking big! Well then, let me show you my true, magnificent skills: Blood Demon Art - Array Killing Fish Scales!"
Before she finished speaking, Yu Hu opened her arms and transformed into a blur, rushing towards Ganlu Temple Mitsuri.
The scales shimmered with a faint red light, moving at twice the speed of before.
If the fins on its head were replaced with horns, its speed might be able to exceed three times.
"Hahaha! How should I deal with this illogical move of mine!"
"These fish scales allow me to swim freely, making my movements completely unpredictable! I love defying the laws of nature!"
Seemingly convinced that victory was assured, Yu Hu did not rush to attack Mi Li. Instead, she playfully circled around her, leaping repeatedly at extremely high speeds, leaving afterimages in mid-air.
As he said, the movement was completely unpredictable, like a primary school student seeing a straight wooden stick.
Even he himself didn't know what moves he would use.
"What should we do with you? We'll twist off that disgusting pink hair on your head and replace it with a pretty fish head!"
"it's over!!!"
Seemingly having had enough fun, or perhaps realizing that he didn't have much time to waste, a ferocious arc appeared at the corner of his eye, and his claws flashed with scarlet blood light as he launched an attack on Kanroji Mitsuri from the front.
So fast!
