"Hu—!"
That was the sound of a gust of wind roaring.
Right in front of Fang Li, the Murdering Demon known as Nanaya Shiki performed a special skill-like move. With a spin, he unleashed a powerful high kick toward Fang Li, resembling a meteor.
The speed of the kick was so fast that it was impossible to defend against.
In this situation, Fang Li's desperate attempt to retreat seemed to be firmly captured, and he couldn't evade it at all.
"Bang—!"
A heavy and suffocating sound echoed as Fang Li was directly struck by that swift and powerful kick, soaring through the air like a kicked football, creating friction with the air as he flew backward.
Feeling the intense pain from the impact, Fang Li's mind experienced a split-second of blankness.
During this split second of blankness, Fang Li's vision became blurred for a moment.
When Fang Li's vision returned to normal, and his mind restarted, he was greeted with a scene that caused his pupils to shrink.
In the blink of an eye, Nanaya Shiki, who had just unleashed a powerful attack, appeared in front of Fang Li as if he hadn't done anything at all, wearing a smile.
That smile was extremely pleasant.
Fang Li's heart trembled, and without thinking, he raised the dagger in his hand and held it in front of him for defense.
However, this defensive stance was completely meaningless.
"Flashing Scabbard – Eight Point Opposition…"
A high-level slash, akin to a fierce storm, was unleashed by Nanaya Shiki.
"Shua shua shua—!"
Amidst the piercing sound of the wind, the knife in Nanaya Shiki's hand turned into blade lights that slashed from all directions, enveloping the area where Fang Li stood.
In that instant, Fang Li's field of vision was completely filled with the onslaught of blade lights, akin to a fierce storm.
Each blade of light effortlessly pierced through the air.
Each blade light carried an overwhelming murderous aura in them.
Such a violent assault was unleashed by Nanaya Shiki, and it engulfed Fang Li's entire body.
"Pū chī pū chī—!"
As if being thrown into a meat grinder, Fang Li's entire body was cut by the blade lights, easily slicing through his skin, leaving behind trails of blood.
At that moment, how many slashes did Fang Li endure?
Fang Li himself didn't know the answer to that question.
Fang Li only knew that his entire body had been torn open, which was a horrifying sight to behold.
Intense pain assaulted Fang Li's mind and at this moment, Fang Li's only thought was:
"Strong…"
This was Nanaya Shiki.
This was the Murdering Demon who possessed the complete version of the Nanaya Assassination Technique.
Under the exquisite and peerless assassination technique, Fang Li couldn't even put up a resistance. He was directly submerged in a sea of blood.
This was something that Tohno Shiki could never compare to Nanaya Shiki.
In terms of mastery of the Nanaya Assassination Technique, Tohno Shiki, who had only learned the basics, had no chance of surpassing Nanaya Shiki, who had mastered the complete version of the technique.
"If I use the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception…"
If Fang Li were to use the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, he could see through Nanaya Shiki's slashes, just like when he fought against Amatori Biba and Konochi Kurusu before. By capturing the Death Lines, he could predict Nanaya Shiki's attacks.
However, Fang Li couldn't do that.
Because capturing only the Death Lines wasn't enough.
Fang Li didn't fight Nanaya Shiki to defeat him; he fought him to learn the combat skills of the Nanaya Assassination Technique.
Therefore, Fang Li couldn't just see the Death Lines; he had to personally witness the trajectory of Nanaya Shiki's slashes.
"Let's go all out!"
At that moment, Fang Li gritted his teeth, held his Moonlight Dagger, protecting his head and chest, and endured Nanaya Shiki's extremely fast high-level slashes. With wide-open eyes, he focused intensely on the blade lights, attempting to discern their trajectory.
It should be noted that Fang Li was still in a state of being thrown backward by Nanaya Shiki's kick.
In this state, Nanaya Shiki's figure moved swiftly, like a maggot on bones, firmly locking onto Fang Li's position. With a sadistic smile on his face, he continuously unleashed rapid slashes.
"Pū Chī Pū Chī—!"
The sound of flesh being torn apart continued to echo.
Fang Li's entire body was covered in grotesque wounds, with blood spattering uncontrollably, dyeing the ground of the alleyway red.
It was a scene that truly resembled bathing in a sea of blood.
However, Fang Li could only endure, and his eyes were fixed on the slashes.
Finally, Nanaya Shiki's slashes came to a halt.
"An opportunity!"
A bright light flashed in Fang Li's eyes as his Moonlight Dagger swiftly slashed toward Nanaya Shiki.
But just as Fang Li's Moonlight Dagger was about to hit Nanaya Shiki, he suddenly disappeared.
No, he didn't disappear. His figure flickered, and he appeared beneath Fang Li.
"Flashing Dash – One Deer…"
Maintaining a low-hovering stance, Nanaya Shiki's figure suddenly moved forward in an eerie manner, launching a powerful front kick toward Fang Li's lower body.
"Bang—!"
With a stifling sound, Fang Li was directly sent flying by Nanaya Shiki's kick, completely losing his balance and crashing to the ground. While suspended in mid-air, Fang Li clearly witnessed what was happening in front of him.
In front of him, Nanaya Shiki squatted down like a ferocious beast, raising the knife in his hand.
"Flashing Scabbard – Seven Nights…"
In the next moment, accompanied by a peak-speed slash, a chilly blade light traversed through space, akin to an aurora, aiming for Fang Li's neck.
"Pū chī—!"
The sharp weapon pierced through fragile skin, cutting through flesh.
Fang Li's neck was directly severed, just like Tohno Shiki had been decapitated earlier. A large amount of blood sprayed from his neck, falling to the ground.
…
The surrounding images once again blurred, and the sealed space returned.
Fang Li remained standing in the center of the training ground, seemingly unfazed, but his face was covered in cold sweat.
It wasn't just his face; Fang Li's whole body was drenched in sweat.
And that was only natural.
Although it was just a simulated battle, Fang Li had been sliced open all over, with his neck severed. The intense pain still lingered in his memory. How could he not break out in a sweat?
Immediately, Fang Li forced out a bitter smile.
"If the first battle with Tohno Shiki was an instant kill, then the first battle with Nanaya Shiki… I was completely tortured, right?"
At least, without using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li was completely overwhelmed from start to finish— it was a complete one-sided torture.
"But, it wouldn't be meaningful otherwise."
The more miserable it was, the more it proved just how terrifying the Nanaya Assassination Technique Fang Li wanted to learn truly was, wasn't it?
Therefore, Fang Li wished to endure even more suffering.
"Let's go again!"
Without any hesitation, Fang Li opened the training interface once more.
