Chapter 132: The Crowd Erupts—Is That the Oiran Daki?!
One was Daki's head.
The other belonged to Hantengu.
Severing them had been so easy that Tengen Uzui felt as though he were playing against a computer.
His confidence soared.
So the Upper Ranks aren't really that impressive after all!
At the same time, seeing his sister's head fall once again, Gyutaro flew into a rage.
"Ume! You bastard! How dare you cut off my sister's head! I'll kill you!"
Gyutaro immediately directed all of his fury toward Tengen Uzui.
He violently twisted his waist in midair, lunging toward Tengen in an extremely bizarre posture.
Entertainment District
What was that?
"My god! That's the Kyogoku House! What happened inside?!"
The people on the street gathered together, staring at the Kyogoku House in horror.
Even the pedestrians who had originally been wandering around to pass the time suddenly stopped.
There had been an explosion on the roof, and nobody knew what was happening inside. For a moment, no one dared enter.
"Look! There's someone up there!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Everyone immediately turned in that direction.
A huge hole had suddenly appeared in the second-floor attic of the Kyogoku House.
Some people vaguely remembered that the hole seemed to have appeared in Daki's room.
This shocked several men who worshipped Daki.
Their faces filled with sorrow as they worried about Daki's safety.
Then, the next moment—
They saw a young man wielding a sword, his gaze fierce, bullying a woman, an old man, and a cripple in midair!
And among them, the woman clutching her head and crying was none other than their beloved Daki!
"It's Daki!"
"My god! My poor Daki! How could he be so cruel?!"
"I've seen that man before! He's the young man who went upstairs just now! What is he doing?!"
The spectators had no idea what was actually happening.
They immediately began discussing the scene, pointing toward Ren in the sky.
But before their discussion could even finish—
Another enormously powerful man suddenly joined the battle.
A magnificently dressed man abruptly threw several concealed weapons into the air before leaping more than ten meters high and charging toward their goddess—Daki!
Flashes of fire erupted.
Several figures collided in midair.
An explosion followed.
Then they disappeared from sight.
After the explosion subsided, two severed heads came tumbling down from above.
One of them was unmistakably a woman's head!
The people on the street were terrified.
"It's murder! Someone's been murdered!"
The street instantly descended into chaos, with people scattering in every direction.
Yet there were always a few brave souls willing to go against the flow.
Among them were several of Daki's devoted fans and a professional journalist, all of whom pushed through the crowd.
"There's been an abuse incident at the Kyogoku House!"
A man who looked like a reporter began speaking excitedly.
"The Entertainment District is one of the most prosperous and important areas in our country, yet something like this has happened! I have to uncover the truth!"
The reporter and several other courageous people immediately moved forward, intending to examine the victims first.
Those at the very front were Daki's admirers.
If they hadn't seen Daki's severed head with their own eyes, they never would have believed that their goddess could actually die!
But when they reached Daki—
They froze.
The good news was that she wasn't dead.
The bad news was that she only had a head left.
And she still wasn't dead!
The admirers suddenly discovered that their goddess, Daki, wasn't merely alive.
She was in remarkably good spirits!
Daki glared at them, her face twisted into a vicious expression.
"Hmph! What are you looking at?! Can't you see a beautiful Upper Rank has been decapitated?! Keep staring at me and I'll eat every last one of you!"
The scene completely overturned everyone's understanding of the world.
The reporter immediately snapped two photographs.
He had a feeling this was going to be enormous news!
Then he turned toward the other severed head—the old man's.
The reporter soon discovered that this old man's head was even stranger.
A moment later, a body and a pair of wings suddenly grew from beneath the head.
Then it lunged directly toward him.
"Hehehe! I'm out again!"
The sight left everyone who had gathered to watch completely stunned.
The reporter couldn't help remembering some of the stories his seniors had once told him.
There was a legend circulating among the people that evil demons existed—creatures that ate humans!
The reporter immediately shouted:
"Demons! They're demons! Run!"
That single cry instantly snapped the spectators back to reality.
When they saw Hantengu's body beginning to split apart, they were terrified!
But their fear didn't slow their escape.
In moments, the crowd scattered in every direction.
Unfortunately, the reporter had been standing at the very front of the crowd.
He couldn't escape immediately.
And the clone that had emerged from Hantengu's body had gone a long time without eating.
How could he possibly let such a delicious meal escape?
"Don't run, braised pork!"
Urogi grinned and beat his wings.
With two powerful strokes, he shot toward the fleeing reporter.
"Dragon Breathing, First Form: Soaring Dragon!"
At that very moment, beneath the moonlight, a figure suddenly appeared.
He was even faster than Urogi.
The blade in his hand radiated scorching heat as it instantly swept toward the demon's neck.
Urogi's pupils contracted.
He recognized the person before him.
It was the Demon Slayer who had severed his head earlier!
Him?! How is he here?!
But Urogi had no time to think any further.
In his vision, a dazzling blade of light rapidly expanded until it filled his entire field of view!
"Dragon Breathing, Second Form: Scorching Breath!"
It was as though a gigantic creature had swept across the mountains.
In an instant, scorching heat spread throughout Urogi's entire body.
A burst of flame ignited beneath the night sky.
Time seemed to freeze.
The blade descended.
Blood sprayed into the air.
Crack!
His neck was severed!
But—
Urogi wasn't going to sit idly by.
Even after his head was cut off, his body continued splitting apart.
His lower body began transforming into a powerful mass of energy, while his head gathered a shockwave, attempting to inflict a devastating blow on Ren the moment he changed his stance!
"Blood Demon Art: Roaring Sonic Shockwave!"
This was Urogi's unique Blood Demon Art.
Even a Hashira would suffer severe injuries—or potentially die—if they took the attack head-on!
But Ren merely looked at him coldly.
The next moment—
He directly manifested the Invisible Hand.
With lightning speed, he seized the demon's mouth.
That's right.
He actually squeezed it shut!
The shockwave that had been building within Urogi's mouth instantly stopped accumulating.
The unreleased energy began rampaging inside his own head.
With a deafening boom—
Urogi's head melted.
Ren cleanly tossed the remains aside.
Then, as though he had foreseen everything, he took two steps to the side.
The next instant—
A gigantic fan-shaped mark slammed into the exact spot where he had been standing!
