"I found you, Obanai!"
A sharp female voice suddenly rose, then with a great commotion, rumbled towards Kurozawa.
Kurozawa watched the dense green bamboo being crushed and broken, feeling the violent shaking under his feet. He said calmly, "Obanai, run back along this pebble path. You being here will hinder me."
Iguro Obanai clenched his teeth, glanced at Kurozawa's tall back, then turned his head and quickly ran away. If he could, Iguro Obanai wanted to stay and help Kurozawa, but he knew he was powerless and had no strength to support him. Staying would only trouble Kurozawa, so he chose to decisively flee.
"This demon is quite unique."
After Iguro Obanai had run dozens of meters away, the dust and smoke also spread around Kurozawa, and he finally saw the giant demon figure clearly.
Its upper body was a charming and seductive woman, covered in strange demon markings, and its lower body was a snake tail with bluish-purple scales that had a cold, metallic feel.
Its body was extremely large; the snake tail alone, as thick as a bucket, was over eight meters long, and the upper human half was about two meters tall. Just the human half was taller than Kurozawa's entire body, and the whole thing was nearly ten meters tall.
"Get out of the way!"
The Snake Woman Demon paid no attention to Kurozawa; her eyes were only on Iguro Obanai who was running away. She casually coiled her thick, huge snake tail and smashed it down directly onto Kurozawa.
The immense size brought immense power. A visible wave of air was stirred up by this tail, and Kurozawa felt a very heavy pressure.
It was the strong gusts of wind rushing at him.
Total Concentration! Breathing Technique suddenly operated at full power. Streams of white, silk-like breath lingered around his nose and mouth. His entire body's muscles began to pulse and vibrate, unleashing powerful strength in subtle ways. At this moment, Kurozawa's blood flow accelerated, his heart pounded like a pump, and all aspects of his physical abilities significantly improved.
If displayed with grayscale data, his physical attributes, excluding intelligence, should have reached an average of around 0.8. The burst of Total Concentration temporarily increased the average by 0.2.
The stronger the user, and the higher their proficiency in the Breathing Technique, the stronger the amplification from the Total Concentration burst.
"You're the one who should get out of the way!"
*Bang!* Kurozawa crossed his arms, directly blocking the downward smash of the snake tail. A muffled sound wave spread outwards, and the green bamboo affected by the snake tail broke off in pieces.
Compared to the eight-meter-long snake tail, his body was truly tiny, but it was the seemingly tiny Kurozawa, with strength not inferior to the Snake Woman Demon's immense power, who managed to withstand the attack, preventing the snake tail from descending any further.
*Crack!* At the same time, the ground under Kurozawa's feet suddenly cracked and caved in. His entire lower leg instantly sank into the ground.
"You!"
The Snake Woman Demon was both shocked and angry. She hadn't expected to be stopped by someone who suddenly appeared. Seeing Iguro Obanai running further and further away, the Snake Woman Demon became anxious. Iguro Obanai, this exquisite food, she had raised him for fourteen years, waited for fourteen years, and finally it was time for the harvest. No matter what, she couldn't let him escape!
Thinking of this, the Snake Woman Demon's expression turned fierce and vicious. Her beautiful and tempting face suddenly deformed. The corners of her mouth split open to her ears, and sharp, faintly glowing blue fangs were embedded within.
"It's you damn swordsmen again! Die!"
Moving her upper body, the Snake Woman Demon spread her arms and grabbed towards Kurozawa, simultaneously biting down viciously with her gaping maw.
"You're truly overflowing with passion, but unfortunately, I can't accept it."
Those faintly blue fangs clearly looked full of venom. Kurozawa didn't dare to be kissed by that dangerous-looking snake mouth; it would be fatal.
Changing his crossed arms, Kurozawa wrapped his arms around the Snake Woman Demon's tail, then grinned at the lunging Snake Woman Demon.
A man's smile has magical power.
Because of his smile, you would fall in love with his lips, fall in love with his eyes, fall in love with his brows, and finally fall in love with everything about him, fall in love with the person he is.
Facing such danger, the fiercely attacking Snake Woman Demon's body stiffened, her eyes glazed over, as if she had been hit by a Charm skill. She forgot the current situation, and her attack came to an abrupt halt, suddenly stopping.
Now, having understood how lethal his smile was to female creatures, Kurozawa no longer regretted the action that had cost a large amount of Potential Points that day.
Products from the grayscale are always top-notch.
And just as the Snake Woman Demon's body stiffened, Kurozawa's arm muscles suddenly bulged, veins popping out, tightly embracing the Snake Woman Demon's tail. Next, veins also bulged on Kurozawa's forehead, and he roared, "Lift!"
His steel-forged arms suddenly exerted force and twisted, and the immense power, like cracking a whip, made the Snake Woman Demon spin.
Snake whirlwind destroys the green bamboo forest!
By the time the Snake Woman Demon regained her senses, her body was already clamped by Kurozawa at the tail and spinning rapidly, smashing down piece after piece of green bamboo. Her unprotected upper body, without scales, was bloody and mangled by the broken bamboo splinters. The intense pain constantly stimulated the Snake Woman Demon's nerves.
Opening her poisonous snake mouth again, the Snake Woman Demon desperately tried to control her body, wanting to turn around and bite Kurozawa. Unfortunately, she was being whipped around so fast that her head was spinning. Her body was suspended in the air with no point of support, making it impossible to break free from the inertia.
On the other side, simply spinning with his hands was no longer enough for Kurozawa. Thus, his body also began to rotate, even using the technique of accumulating power from the Sword Form, Constant Flux. With every rotation, the speed increased slightly, and soon it was like a violent ground storm had been stirred up.
Centered around Kurozawa, within a radius of eight or nine meters, not a blade of grass remained. The area was full of broken bamboo.
After six rotations, a piercing wind filled the bamboo forest. Some Iguro women who had rushed over from a distance watched the spinning Snake Woman Demon, who had become a blur, with wide eyes. Not a single one dared to approach.
In the center of the storm, Kurozawa's arms crushed the scales on the Snake Woman Demon's tail, almost embedding themselves. The Snake Woman Demon's brain was completely blank, thoroughly dizzy, and she had lost the ability to think.
At this moment, Kurozawa also felt a bit dizzy, and the accumulated power was about to go out of control. So, he lowered the angle of the Snake Woman Demon's body and suddenly released his arms.
Under the huge inertia, the Snake Woman Demon spun and flew horizontally, smashing heavily onto the ground with a sound that shook the earth. Kurozawa took the opportunity to release the inertia and accumulated power, shaking his dizzy head.
About ten meters in front of him, the environment was severely damaged and a horrible sight. The Snake Woman Demon lay in a giant pit half a meter deep, her bones dislocated, her flesh twisted and deformed. Her injuries were so severe that she had temporarily lost consciousness.
Although her injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, it would still take several minutes to fully recover at this rate, and that time was enough for Kurozawa to kill her ten times.
*Clang! Because quite a few Iguro women had already rushed over from a distance, Kurozawa didn't want to expose his Pitch-Black Aura. His Nichirin Blade finally had a use. The clang* sound was strangely like the sound of crying tears of joy.
Stepping towards the unconscious Snake Woman Demon, Kurozawa raised his Nichirin Blade.
Just then, a familiar female voice shouted, "Stop! Otherwise, I'll kill him!"
Turning his head, Kurozawa saw Iguro Sayaka holding a sharp knife to Iguro Obanai's neck. Beside her, two other women were firmly controlling Iguro Obanai, covering his mouth.
*Slash!* After a brief glance, Kurozawa brought his hand and blade down, beheading the Snake Woman Demon with one strike.
Under the gaze of the completely disbelieving Iguro Sayaka, Kurozawa lowered his head to wipe the blood from his Nichirin Blade. Without raising his head, he said slowly and deliberately, "If you want to make a move, you're welcome to try."
"His one life, in exchange for your entire clan."
