Chapter 11 The Undead Slayer is the Number Monster!
The chase had lasted for a full five minutes.
As Daki leaped wildly between rooftops and treetops, her mind, initially clouded by rage, finally calmed down slightly in the biting night wind.
She stopped and hovered above a desolate pile of rocks, warily surveying her surroundings.
Not right.
This place is too far from Kyogoku-ya, and it's even beyond the border of Yoshiwara.
There was no sign of human habitation in the surrounding area, and even the chirping of insects had vanished without a trace. This deathly silence did not resemble a natural wilderness, but rather a "vacuum zone" that had been deliberately cleared out.
She turned to look at the man following her a few dozen meters away. He still maintained his calm and composed demeanor.
"He's not so stupid as to be beyond redemption; at least he can realize it's a trap." Pei Qi stopped in his tracks, a playful smile curving his lips.
"However, now that the fish are already in the nest, do you think they still have a chance to leave?"
Daki sneered, a vein throbbing on her forehead: "A trap? Just you alone? Although I don't know what methods you used to conceal your presence, I haven't sensed any 'pillar' presence within this radius of a thousand meters."
"Arrogant brat, you'll soon pay the price for your reckless plan to lure the enemy!"
"Alone?" Pei Qi scoffed in a low voice, then shook his head.
"I alone am enough to annihilate all of you so-called Upper Moons."
As soon as he finished speaking, a set of jet-black armor with a dark purple sheen covering his entire body appeared.
That's Netherworld Alloy Armor.
Immediately afterwards, the ordinary Nichirin Blade at his waist disappeared, replaced by a longsword that was equally black, with a broad blade and covered in purple light.
Unlike the "all-purpose" sharpness enchantment used before, the sword now has an enchantment called "Undead Slayer".
Pei Qi had always been curious about what the definition of "ghosts" in this world was in Minecraft.
Fearing sunlight, possessing a twisted vitality, teetering on the edge of life and death.
If Pei Qi's guess is correct, the judgment of the undead killer should take effect on these ghosts.
"That kind of toy, no matter how many times you change it, the result is the same!" Daki felt the strange pressure from the sword and launched the first attack.
Several pink ribbons, like pythons emerging from their caves, slashed through the air with a sharp whistling sound, crisscrossing and covering all of Pei Qi's evasive angles.
However, Pei Qi did not dodge.
He casually tossed a dark green spherical object, which traced an eerie arc as it landed beside Daki.
"Bang!"
Just as the ribbon was about to slice through Pei Qi's afterimage, a dazzling stream of purple particles suddenly exploded.
Pei Qi's figure vanished into thin air, and in the next microsecond, he had already traversed dozens of meters of void, suddenly appearing in front of Duo Ji's nose.
"What kind of technique is this? Teleportation?!" Daki's pupils contracted in horror.
In the demon's understanding, only that person's spatial blood demon technique could accomplish such a thing.
She instinctively manipulated the ribbon to defend herself, only to find that the jet-black longsword was already waiting there.
"Sizzle—!"
It was a sensation like a hot knife cutting through ice.
The defensive ribbons, which were originally strong enough to withstand the slashes of the Sun Wheel Blade, dried up and shattered instantly, turning into ashes the moment they touched the Nether Alloy Sword enchanted with "Undead Slayer".
"How is this possible... My ribbon wasn't cut, it was 'erased'?!"
Without wasting words, Pei Qi delivered another horizontal slash.
Daki screamed and retreated. She clearly felt that she had created distance, but the sword's attack range was illogically large.
A purple fan-shaped ripple (a sweeping blade) seemed to spread through the air in an instant.
Not only did it sever the remaining ribbons, but it also left a deep, bone-revealing wound on Daki's body through the void.
"Tsk, the test results are encouraging. The damage increase from the Undead Slayer far exceeds expectations."
"As expected, in the system's underlying definition, you monsters who burn to ashes in the sunlight but survive in the moonlight are 100% 'undead creatures'."
Pei Qi looked at the scene before him thoughtfully.
"Moonlight is just a reflection of sunlight... This basic physics has somehow become the catalyst for some kind of mysticism in this world."
"Since you are beings that defy the logic of physics, then I will crush you with even more illogical numerical values."
Pei Qi pondered as he experienced the area-of-effect damage of "Sweeping Blade".
For oni that like to use clones, strips of cloth, and dense attacks, this AOE range is simply their nemesis.
"It's a pity there aren't any additional effects like counter-regeneration or holy light. But adding a fire effect for a cosplay wouldn't be a bad idea..."
"But in the end, the numbers are the real reason for becoming king. All those strange effects are nothing compared to the directness of me chopping down a monster with one strike," Pei Qi thought to himself.
"As for those fancy special effects, none of them are as effective as this one strike that cuts off 30% of your health bar."
"Bastard... I'm going to kill you! I'm going to gouge your eyes out!"
Daki screamed madly as she tried to recall the core ribbon buried beneath Kyogoku-ya.
Once the ribbon is returned to its place, her power will multiply.
"Don't waste your energy." Pei Qi laughed sarcastically.
"Why do you think I led you here? The 'Sound Pillar' Uzui Tengen and the others should be demolishing the basement of Kyogoku-ya right now."
"I specifically instructed that you should only be 'controlled' and not 'killed'. After all, we still need to keep you as bait to lure out your brother."
"You...you plotted against me!" Daki felt an unprecedented fear.
The man before them was not only strange in strength, but also cold and terrifying in tactics.
She turned around and tried to run away.
Since she can't win in a direct confrontation, as long as she escapes into the depths of darkness, the Upper Moon demon's regenerative abilities will eventually allow her to win.
"You're already here, and the fish have taken the bait, how can you go home empty-handed? Come on over here!"
Pei Qi calmly took out a fishing rod from his backpack.
Under Doki's astonished gaze, Pei Qi suddenly cast his fishing hook.
In the physics of Minecraft, a fishing hook can not only catch fish, but also hook the collision box of any creature and forcibly drag it.
"Whoosh!"
The fishhook sank precisely into Daki's spine.
Come here!
Pei Qi abruptly reeled in the rod. A tremendous and unreasonable pulling force erupted instantly.
Even Daki's powerful body, now that of a demon, was completely unable to resist this "displacement."
She gasped in surprise as her body was forcibly pulled back towards Pei Qi.
But Daki didn't scream again. Instead, she lowered her head and let out a sinister laugh.
"You asked for this! Letting me get close to you will be a decision you'll regret."
A sudden change has occurred!
Just as Pei Qi and Duo Ji were only a few meters apart, Duo Ji's back suddenly split open, and a withered, dull arm covered with blue veins suddenly stretched out.
Immediately afterwards, a man with a hunched back and an extremely ferocious face, Gyutaro, burst out from Daki's body like a dark green bolt of poisonous lightning!
