Chapter 48: Extreme Spell - Blood Deception!

In the vast cave, two figures clashed intensely, the sound of their physical confrontation echoing through the space.

Each punch and kick was filled with tremendous force.

Buzz...

The bald, four-eyed curse spirit was kicked into the air, and while still airborne, it began compressing its curse energy.

A shining orange light sphere rapidly grew larger between its palms!

Kamehameha?

Shinji had no time to make a sarcastic remark and immediately began to dodge.

In the next moment, with a deafening roar!

The ground was pierced through, leaving no footing. Shinji had no choice but to jump to the next level.

The bald, four-eyed curse spirit immediately followed, and Shinji, unaccustomed to being off-balance, was struck on the head with a blade!

The bald, four-eyed curse spirit raised its left arm, using it to block and deflect the attack, costing it an arm and widening its mouth.

Virtual Flash!

Oops, wrong channel.

Boom!

Struck by a compressed curse energy sphere, Shinji was hurled into the ground of the next level like a cannonball.

Bang...

The bald, four-eyed curse spirit landed steadily. Its severed arm's cells quickly surged, and in the blink of an eye, a new arm grew back.

With its hands pressed in front, the massive curse energy began compressing and flickering again.

It intended to use its maximum power in a single blow to obliterate the enemy.

The light from the increasingly large and rapidly compressed orange sphere indicated that this attack would be several times more powerful than the previous one!

If hit, it would be hard to even leave a complete corpse.

For Shinji and Hidan, such a "deathless body" might only be able to serve evil gods.

"Ha!"

The terrifying light sphere shot out at high speed.

It's over.

The bald, four-eyed curse spirit was very confident.

But just at the moment it attacked, it was also its most vulnerable!

[Invisible Strike]

Shinji, who was supposed to be obliterated, almost instantaneously crossed the spatial distance and appeared behind the bald, four-eyed curse spirit.

This blade had been saved up since he entered, just waiting for this moment!

The curse spirit's four small eyes widened, and it used all its strength to try to turn its head to dodge.

But...

Swish!

A two-meter-long blade cleaved him from below, splitting him from groin to head!

Puff!!!

The bald, four-eyed curse spirit was literally split in half.

"Ha... Hoo..."

Shinji, who had seized the timing to deliver this stunning blow, was not in a good condition either. He was currently catching his breath, trying to stabilize his breathing rhythm.

The previous attack that had knocked him down had indeed caused him significant injury.

If not for the simultaneous effects of [Crimson Scales - Load] and [Immortality], he might have already lost the ability to resist.

A [Special Grade Curse Spirit] was truly formidable. Its flexible use of curse energy was unmatched by other minor spirits.

But... it wasn't over yet!

The bald, four-eyed curse spirit's four eyes suddenly slid to the back of its head, staring intently at Shinji.

At the same time, a large amount of flesh began to grow and stretch from its severed halves, almost like clay, seemingly ready to reattach.

The body being split in two was only a temporary setback. As long as the core wasn't destroyed, it could keep consuming curse energy to heal itself.

So, to completely eliminate it, either a powerful attack must destroy its core in one blow, or the curse energy must be exhausted, preventing further self-healing.

The former sounded simple, but no one knew where the core was, or which part of the body it was hidden in besides the curse spirit itself.

Moreover, during a crisis, it could temporarily relocate the core to avoid destruction.

The latter method was even more difficult. Comparing consumption with a [Special Grade Curse Spirit] was essentially seeking one's own death.

Fortunately, Shinji didn't think that one blow would be enough to kill it.

So while the bald, four-eyed curse spirit was healing, he began preparing for the next step.

He casually stuck the Executioner's Blade aside, quickly crushed two blood bags with his hands, and turned them into two blood blades.

[Crimson Blood Art - Blood Blades]

The blood coagulated to form the surface contours, and the internal rotation of the blood increased its lethality.

Puff, puff!

As soon as the two blood blades were formed, Shinji unhesitatingly drove them into the curse spirit's back.

Then he took out two more blood bags, crushed them, and shaped them!

Puff, puff!

This time, they were thrust into the bald, four-eyed spirit's waist, likely tearing apart its kidneys, if it had any.

By now, Shinji had exhausted all the blood bags he carried during the battle, so he immediately used his fingertips to cut open his own wrist, allowing a large amount of blood to flow out.

Puff, puff, puff!

One blood blade after another was mercilessly driven into the curse spirit's body, causing it to emit painful cries.

However, by the time Shinji had inserted all eighteen blood blades into various parts of the curse spirit's body, the bald, four-eyed curse spirit had reformed and regained its ability to move, and immediately punched Shinji away.

Crack...

As Shinji was thrown against a wall, he heard a cracking sound from his arm.

It was clear that even though he had crossed his arms to block the attack, he hadn't been able to withstand the immense force, resulting in a fractured arm bone.

Clatter, clatter...

Standing up from the debris, Shinji surprisingly took the time to brush off the dust from his body.

Meanwhile, the bald, four-eyed curse spirit was puzzled and uneasy.

When it attempted to remove the 'weapons' stuck in its body, they suddenly vanished.

No, not exactly vanished.

Rather, they had turned into liquid and seeped into its body.

The curse spirit felt that these were not good things and wanted to expel them immediately, but in less than a breath's time, all its wounds had healed.

This was quite awkward!

But then it thought again, and didn't believe that the substance would have any significant effect.

Poison?

It wasn't afraid at all.

So it decided to directly kill the opponent.

But at that moment, the opponent suddenly spoke.

"You don't think I'm trying to poison you, do you? Although the initial blood blades did contain poison, it should be ineffective against you. Hmm, judging from your current state, the poison should have already taken effect by now."

Shinji showed a relaxed demeanor, as if the battle was already over and the outcome was certain.

The bald, four-eyed curse spirit didn't fully understand Shinji's words but grasped part of the meaning.

It then strode towards Shinji with caution, not giving the opponent any chance to ambush.

Then it saw Shinji make a strange hand gesture with crossed hands and smile, "Let me show you what real 'poison' is."
