"*Overwhelming Might! Siphoning Strike!*"
Flames blazed in Mo Shuying's hands, Soul Flames erupting from them and wrapping around Mjolnir. This was the weaponized application of Siphoning Strike! It could significantly boost attack power, provided one's weapon was good enough! The better the weapon, the greater the amplification!
Mjolnir's tier was undeniable; it was truly a Divine Construct. If Shuten Doji couldn't evade this blow, she would die!
But!
"Pfft!"
Mo Shuying, who had been rushing forward, suddenly changed expression and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"This is?"
Mo Shuying's terrifyingly high HP rapidly plummeted! And because Mundo's passive wasn't ready, a sudden feeling of weakness and numbness surged through his body. He couldn't even hold onto the Divine Hammer, which crashed heavily to the ground, and he began to sway as if drunk.
"This is?"
Poisoned? And a terrifyingly potent one at that! Otherwise, with Mo Shuying's various resistances, it shouldn't have had such a strong effect!
"Thousand Purples, Myriad Reds: Divine Poison of Oni. My poison has no antidote, you know~"
Shuten Doji caught her gourd. The three bolts of lightning had been fully absorbed by her. Seeing Mo Shuying swaying, Shuten Doji twisted her slender waist and walked towards him.
Barefoot, Shuten Doji approached, her beautiful, pale legs moving gracefully. Though not tall, her body proportions were excellent; aside from not being amply endowed, she had a top-tier figure.
But that's what a femme fatale meant, wasn't it? Beautiful? Deadly!
"You are truly strong. If it were anyone else, like that old hag just now, under the full effect of my Noble Phantasm, they would have already turned to dust. But you, you're just hungover? How much longer can you last?"
Shuten Doji asked with a smile. As long as he was affected by her poison, it was fine; no one had ever survived after being poisoned by her.
"Should I thank you for the compliment?"
Mo Shuying had cold sweat on his face. Mjolnir had dissipated in his hands, and he seemed to have truly lost the ability to resist.
Shuten Doji wanted to say more, but she forgot one thing: she wasn't sent to kill Mo Shuying alone. There were other Ghost Generals and Servants. Those Ghost Generals and some individual Servants hadn't "had time" to act earlier because Mo Shuying was too strong. But now, they were more than eager to kick a man while he was down!
There were still four of the Twelve Oni Generals.
At that very moment, two streaks of blood-red light shot towards Mo Shuying! From within the bloody light emerged two great Yokai! One was a green-skinned, sharp-mouthed Kappa, and the other was a Demonic Hound wreathed in black smoke!
The two Yokai roared as they charged at Mo Shuying, attempting to steal the kill. Shuten Doji opened her mouth as if to warn them, but in the end, she said nothing, merely smiling. She controlled her poison so as not to harm these two hotheads, and then!
"*You're asking for it!*"
Mo Shuying, who had seemed utterly weak, suddenly exploded into action! His muscles bulged, and his arms transformed into two massive Divine Arms!
"*Bang!*"
"*Get over here!! Smash!*"
"*Boom!*"
Displaying his Divine Arms, Mo Shuying embraced the massive Kappa charging at the forefront!
The roughly ten-meter-tall Kappa was grabbed by Mo Shuying, spun around, and slammed heavily into the ground!
The ground shook instantly! Like an earthquake erupting! The Demonic Hound, which had been charging alongside, was stunned. It turned to flee, but it was too late!
"*Nowhere to run!! Crushing Hand Splitter!*"
"*Boom!*"
Terrifying suction force swept from two directions! The fleeing Demonic Hound was uncontrollably pulled towards Mo Shuying! At the same time, Shuten Doji was also drawn in!
"What?!"
Shuten Doji hadn't expected herself to be the target of Mo Shuying's sudden attack. Her slender body couldn't help but fly towards Mo Shuying, a feeling akin to a young swallow flying into the embrace of a jade swallow.
But Shuten Doji had no desire to be so proactive. With her rich combat experience, she understood very well how dangerous it was to get close to an opponent like Mo Shuying!
"*Intentional Blast Punch!*"
Pulling both targets towards him simultaneously! Mo Shuying endured the weakness and unleashed this punch, augmented by his Divine Arms!
"*Boom!*"
A powerful punch enveloped Shuten Doji and the nameless Ghost General. Shuten Doji already felt an irresistible dizziness washing over her! Seeing that she was about to be hit, she only had time to aim her Lapis Lazuli Gourd at Mo Shuying!
"*Boom!*"
Lightning, accompanied by strong spirits, flew out. The not-so-large gourd seemed capable of holding the five lakes and four seas, and the lightning it contained emerged like silver snakes from a cave, striking towards Mo Shuying!
The result of a clash between two powerful opponents is one being stronger and destroying everything of the other! And this time, Mo Shuying clearly had the upper hand.
The incoming lightning bolts were directly shattered by the Internal Energy of Intentional Blast Punch. The terrifying Internal Energy enveloped both targets. With a roar, only Shuten Doji remained, clutching her gourd as she flew backward, spitting a mouthful of blood in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Mo Shuying maintained his punching posture, frowning slightly. He looked down at his right foot, where a large crater had appeared. It was precisely because of this crater that Mo Shuying's punch had gone slightly off target. The punch, originally aimed directly at Shuten Doji, had become a glancing blow, failing to be a One-Hit Kill.
"That's excellent judgment. Did you perceive the power of the core punch?"
Mo Shuying retracted his fist, his arms returning to their normal state. He felt his body; it was much better.
"Cough, cough! Tsk... I knew fighting this person was like a death wish! As long as I didn't drink poisoned sake, my judgment wasn't wrong!"
There were three bolts of lightning that Shuten Doji had released. Two were shattered by Mo Shuying's punch and had no effect, but one was aimed at Mo Shuying's foot, blasting the ground beneath him, creating the crater, and causing Mo Shuying's body to shift and miss the punch.
But even without being instantly killed, the situation was not optimistic.
Shuten Doji's Class was Assassin, meaning her health was relatively low. Because she hadn't been hit by the mid-range attack, her vitality instantly plummeted! Although she still had Battle Continuation to save her, even if it came to that, living for a few more seconds wouldn't change the outcome.
"Still want to fight?"
Mo Shuying stretched his arms, collecting the two Spirit Orbs on the ground. Two more added to his tally, leaving only the last two Ghost Generals who hadn't appeared yet.
"Fight! I haven't even put in serious effort yet!"
Shuten Doji swayed, barely managing to stand. She raised her gourd, opened her mouth, and let the wine pour out, drinking deeply. A large amount of wine also flowed down her jade neck, from top to bottom! This wasn't drinking; this was a bath!
"Ah, that hits the spot!! Hah! I should thank you for not interrupting me while I was drinking. It's my only pleasure. As long as it's wine, what does it matter if it's poisoned?"
Shuten Doji displayed her unrestrained and carefree nature. In terms of personality, Mo Shuying actually appreciated Shuten Doji's character, but an enemy was still an enemy.
"As a thank you, this will be my strongest attack! To be honest~ I'm a little excited to taste your bones~"
Shuten Doji's eyes showed excitement. The wine gourd was slung behind her back, and Mana condensed behind her into the image of an Oni God!
The Oni God's oppressive presence was immense, fixing its gaze on Mo Shuying as Shuten Doji activated another of her Noble Phantasms!
"Hundred Flowers in Disarray: My Beloved Name!!"
It was fine before this business trip, but now there's no going back.
