After burning the liquid into steam with foxfire, Night Starfall distanced himself from it once again.
He could no longer launch an attack rashly. Judging from the Cardinal's reaction, the monster would only grow stronger as it was injured.
The damage caused... will only turn into more and more child heads with different strange abilities on the cardinal's body. Even if the cardinal's head is burned to ashes with foxfire, it will wriggle and return to its original state.
"It seems... you've already figured it out." The cardinal suddenly said in a sinister tone, "The evil god bestowed upon me... an immortal body. No matter how many times you cut off my head, my beloved children will be reborn!"
Another head wriggled out of the cardinal's body, spewing out a mouthful of dark green poison gas. In the narrow space, Ye Xingluo was forced to retreat, but following the poison gas came dozens of tongues that attacked like sharp spikes.
"The True Spirit Pearl!"
The azure beads, like a clear sky, quietly guarded the night stars.
The misty fog enveloped Ye Xingluo, and the menacing long tongue, upon contact with the fog, recoiled as if electrocuted, instantly purifying the spreading poisonous gas.
However, the True Spirit Pearl dimmed slightly at this moment and was swallowed by Ye Xingluo.
Seemingly realizing that Ye Xingluo had no way to deal with him, the Cardinal also revealed a cat-and-mouse expression, wanting to torment this... guy who insulted the evil god.
"Immortal... What a joke!" Ye Xingluo suddenly sneered. "It's nothing but relying on the vengeful spirits of dead children to maintain its life... yet it shamelessly calls itself immortal?"
The woman's face on the cardinal's body suddenly froze upon hearing Ye Xinglu's words.
A cold, chilling light flashed in Ye Xingluo's eyes. Perhaps there really were immortal beings in this world... but they were definitely not the monster before him who had sold his soul.
Based on his past life's experience, the woman's unintentional words, and the previous battle, Ye Xingluo realized that... those children who had become pitiful sacrifices to the evil god were the source of the cardinal's resurrection.
Although it was just Ye Xingluo's guess, he had to consider the worst-case scenario... that is, however many children died here, this monster could be resurrected as many times as its vengeful spirit.
"To think you could see that...it seems I truly underestimated you." The cardinal's sickly pale face suddenly revealed an extremely manic expression. "But...so what if you saw it? I don't even remember how many children have been saved by the evil god, was it a thousand...or two thousand? If you're so capable, then kill me a thousand times over!"
After speaking, the cardinal, whose body was covered with countless children's heads, launched another attack on Nightfall.
Spiky tongues, chilling aura that invades the soul, corrosive venom... all were hurled at Ye Xingluo at once.
"cut..."
Ye Xinglu snorted coldly and retreated rapidly.
Ye Xingluo, who had been in the upper hand in the battle, was unusually put at a disadvantage.
"Come on! Come and kill me! Weren't you pretty tough just now?"
The cardinal roared wildly, but Ye Xinglu remained unmoved, defending himself while trying not to inflict any more wounds on the monster's body.
"Big sister..."
Just as Ye Xinglu was fighting and retreating, Sasha's worried voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Xingluo paused abruptly, unaware that the children were already behind him.
That means... he can't back down now.
He watched the monster approach slowly and deliberately, and immediately fell into deep thought.
Although he had figured out the cardinal's abilities, this guy was far more troublesome than he had imagined.
He is now in a dilemma.
While the damage inflicted on the Cardinal may deplete her resurrected vengeful spirits, it will also make her even stronger.
Just killing her dozens of times was already like this; Ye Xinglu couldn't imagine what kind of monster would be created after truly killing her a thousand times.
"Kill me! Kill me!"
Not only the cardinal, but also the countless heads on her body were shaking strangely at this moment, emitting eerie cries.
Ye Xinglu glanced at the children behind her, who had already wet their pants in fear and didn't even know how to cry anymore, and sighed helplessly. This guy... will probably be a lifelong psychological trauma for the children.
As the monster drew ever closer, Ye Xinglu desperately searched her mind for a way to kill it.
This situation may leave many Star-Chosen Ones helpless, but... Night Starfall was definitely an accident.
Because... he's the number one summoner under the stars!
Summoners are also the class most adept at creating miracles.
Ye Xinglu looked at the monster who seemed certain of defeating him and smiled slightly... Lately, apart from having fun with the girls, he had spent most of his time searching for powerful void creatures as sacrifices to summon creatures that could enhance his own strength.
So, he has quite a few good things now!
What surprised Ye Xinglu the most was that he successfully summoned... the spatial ring he was currently wearing on his hand.
In any situation... this is an extremely convenient tool!
"Now it seems... making thorough preparations for the apocalypse was indeed a wise choice~" Ye Xinglu murmured softly, the ancient ring on her right index finger shimmering slightly, "I admit your abilities are extremely sinister, and almost no normal Star Favorite can deal with your methods, but unfortunately... you have encountered the strongest summoner. Among the items I summoned in my spare time, there seems to be a treasure that can counter you!"
Then, with a flash of light, an ancient-looking longsword appeared out of thin air in Ye Xingluo's hand.
[Item: Nichirin Blade]
[Quality: Green, Standard]
[Ability: The weapon used by Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen. The blade is made of "Scarlet Gorilla Sand Iron" and "Scarlet Gorilla Ore," materials that absorb sunlight. It is a weapon capable of inflicting irreparable damage on evil entities.]
[Note: Different colors will be displayed depending on the user's attributes]
Ye Xinglu raised the long sword in her hand, pointing it at the cardinal.
The ancient Nichirin Blade also slowly transformed into an ambiguous pink at this moment.
...
Chapter 209 Pink Breath: A Dazzling Display of Peach Blossoms!
Not long ago, Sasha asked Ye Xinglu a question.
Her abilities...aren't they pretty useless?
My ability to interact with small animals is nowhere near as good as how Sister Murou protects everyone.
This is how Ye Xingluo answered her at the time...
"Even seemingly insignificant abilities can sometimes exceed your imagination, and no matter how powerful an ability is, there must be a way to deal with it."
Just like in this complicated underground passage, without the little animals guiding the way, by the time Ye Xingluo found the cardinal, all the children would probably have already been thrown into that ominous flesh and blood.
Suddenly remembering her own words, Ye Xingluo couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He never imagined that the Nichirin Blade, which he had kept in the corner of his spatial ring since it was summoned, would come in handy at this moment.
Yuno's axe was just as sharp as the Nichirin Blade, and he was quite used to using it. In addition, he always had a strange feeling when he held the blade, as if he could feel the resentment coming from the axe. So after trying it out and finding that the Nichirin Blade could not trigger the Void Creatures' irreparable abilities, he stopped taking it out.
Without the additional effects against evil spirits, the Nichirin Blade is just a sharp longsword.
However... if Ye Xingluo is right, the Nichirin Blade in his hand is the best weapon to finish off the monster in front of him.
He watched the monster approach with a sinister aura, and nothing could be more fitting to be called an evil entity than the creature before him.
So... that longsword I've been neglecting all this time...
Let me see your true abilities!
"Pink Breathing, First Form, Peach Cut!"
Night Star's figure flashed, and a ghostly shadow suddenly appeared above the cardinal, the incomparably sharp blade flashing past as lightly as a falling peach blossom.
An ugly head suddenly fell off its twisted body.
"Hahaha... How foolish!" the cardinal shrieked. "Don't you understand? These harmless attacks... only make me stronger, and my children will become more and more..."
"is it?"
The cardinal's voice abruptly stopped as Ye Xinglu softly asked a question.
Her contorted face stared in shock at the smooth, mirror-like wound, where the flesh... showed no sign of wriggling whatsoever, and what seemed to be an indistinct black mist slowly rising from it.
"My child...my child...don't leave me!"
Suddenly, the cardinal let out an extremely shrill scream.
She could feel a scorching heat emanating from the lacerated wound, rapidly spreading throughout her body, as the child residing within her gradually broke free from her grasp.
An unprecedented sense of fear and unease instantly filled her heart.
The power bestowed upon her by the evil god began to dissolve in a disintegrating manner under Ye Xingluo's single strike.
She couldn't imagine... why Ye Xinglu's sudden strike would produce such a terrifying effect!
Just before this, Ye Xingluo had been in a predicament where she could only flee under her attacks.
Pink ripples appeared in Ye Xinglu's eyes as he calmly looked above the cardinal... at the pitiful souls purified by the unique solar power of the Nichirin Blade.
The gloomy black aura quietly dissipated, and the children, who had been baring their teeth and claws, revealed expressions of relief, looking at Ye Xinglu with grateful eyes.
"The attribute of restraint... is unexpectedly powerful..."
Night Star whispered to himself, then took a deep breath and raised the Nichirin Blade in his hand.
Clearly, for the cardinal who was completely bewildered at this moment... now was the perfect time to deliver a fatal blow.
"Pink Breathing, Second Form, Peach Blossom Fluttering!"
As the night star fell into the sky, the pink fox tail spread out like a peacock, its beauty resembling a newly blossoming peach blossom.
The flash of the blade seemed to become incredibly gentle in that instant, like countless petals falling from the sky and gently landing on the cardinal below.
"The breathing technique that Sister Mitsuri taught me in my previous life... is even more effective than I imagined~"
Ye Xinglu landed lightly on the ground, and with a flash of light in his hand, he had already put the Nichirin Blade back into his spatial ring.
"You hurt my child, I'm going to kill you!"
The cardinal suddenly roared ferociously, his bloodshot eyes wide as he stared intently at Ye Xinglu, who had her back to him, seemingly completely unaware of the blade that had just fallen from Ye Xinglu's hand.
However, just as it was trying to control its body to tear the nearby falling stars to shreds, its body suddenly froze.
"My child...my child..."
As the cardinal cried out in despair, countless fine blades of light simultaneously burst forth within her body, representing the scorching heat of the blazing sun as it mercilessly burned her body to ashes.
Ye Xingluo leaned against the wall behind her, a hint of fatigue showing on her beautiful face.
After the battle with the Eye of the Void, the Demon Mother was the first opponent he was unable to handle on his own.
