Seeing this scene, Yushiro made a decisive decision and shouted at Coulson and Bobbi, "I'll hold back this disgusting eye guy! You go deal with the ball girl—she's been poisoned by wisteria and needs to use her body cells to suppress and decompose it. She has no time to deal with anything else!"
"Anyway, calling me 'disgusting' to my face is too much!"
Although Yahaba's body was tattered, he spoke with composure, raised his hands, and fired Koketsu Arrows.
Yushiro rolled over and his body disappeared into the air.
"It's useless, it's useless! I can see you!"
Yahaba controlled the red arrows to turn and pursue where the airflow was disrupted.
Yushiro didn't care and rushed toward Yahaba.
"Want to fight me in close combat... Do you really think that because you hit me once, you can beat me in melee?"
Yahaba sneered while controlling the Koketsu Arrows to chase and met him head-on.
Then he was punched away.
Yahaba had taken it for granted.
Even if he could tell Yushiro's position through the airflow, he couldn't see what he couldn't see.
"Dog of Muzan Kibutsuji, do you really think you're my opponent?" Yushiro's proud voice came from the air, making everyone instantly imagine an imposing and arrogant posture.
Seeing this, Coulson and Bobbi were relieved and turned to look at Susamaru. She was half-kneeling on the ground, blood vessels bursting all over her body, her face full of pain.
Immediately, they couldn't help but nod.
"Leave this to us!"
Even if they didn't know how to deal with demons, they certainly knew how to beat a downed dog.
Coulson leaned against the wall and used his mouth to change the magazine with difficulty, while Bobbi took out two alloy batons and walked forward.
Bobbi was no ordinary person either.
In high school, she'd already been a gymnastics champion, able to perform all kinds of movements at the limit of human capability.
After joining S.H.I.E.L.D., she'd been seriously injured on a mission and received the same Infinity Formula treatment as Director Fury. Although this was only a weakened version based on super soldier serum research that needed long-term injection to maintain its effects, it still enhanced her body beyond the ordinary.
Bobbi twirled her batons and moved forward slowly, her eyes full of vigilance.
Although this female demon named "Susamaru" seemed to have lost her resistance, Bobbi didn't forget the other party was a non-human with power beyond common sense.
"Mere humans, don't be too arrogant."
Susamaru clutched at the missing piece of her left abdomen and glared at Bobbi, who was cautiously approaching. "Even if I've been poisoned by wisteria and 99% of my strength is being used to decompose the toxin, I'm still a demon. I'm not comparable to mere humans!"
"Really?" Bobbi smiled noncommittally. "Originally, I couldn't confirm your status, but now I'm certain—you're at the end of your rope!"
As soon as the words fell, she strode forward abruptly and appeared in front of Susamaru. The baton, which she'd raised long ago, slammed down toward her head with full force. The whole process was smooth and fluid, without the slightest sloppiness.
As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark.
With the attitude the other party displayed—aloof and looking down on humans—if she really retained considerable power, she wouldn't waste so much breath talking.
Bobbi's years of mission experience convinced her of this.
Her judgment wasn't wrong.
Boom!
With a dull sound, the alloy baton successfully cracked Susamaru's head open.
However, with blood splashing everywhere, Susamaru, who was beaten with great force and bowed her head, only sank slightly before lifting up against the baton, revealing a face with bursting blood vessels and veins, features twisted in pain.
"As I said before, even if I can't exert 99% of my strength, it's not comparable to mere humans like you!" Susamaru roared, waved her hand, and sent Bobbi flying.
Bang bang bang...
Rapid gunshots rang out.
Coulson, who'd just replaced the magazine, took advantage of Bobbi flying out to clear the space and emptied the magazine again.
Her cells damaged by wisteria flower poison and 90% of her power used to suppress and decompose the toxin, Susamaru in such a state couldn't dodge bullets at all. She could only endure being shot repeatedly, blood flowers blooming.
However, it was only to the extent of broken skin and splashing blood.
Her strength couldn't be exerted because of weakness, but her physical durability wouldn't decrease because of weakness. If it weren't for the cellular damage, the bullets wouldn't be able to break her defense at all.
Being able to break the skin and sink into muscles was already a manifestation of Susamaru's extreme weakness.
"Damn humans!"
Blood spilled from the corner of Susamaru's mouth as she stared fiercely at Coulson, wishing she could eat him alive immediately.
But although the bullets just now hadn't caused much damage to her, they'd caused the suppressed and decomposing toxin to spread again, inflicting huge damage and pain. She had to devote even more power to suppression and decomposition.
"She really is at the end of her rope!"
Bobbi got up from the ground in the distance and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
Her condition was very bad.
All the bones were broken where she'd been hit, and the impact from flying out had also damaged her internal organs. But compared to physical strength that even bullets couldn't significantly damage, the blow she'd suffered was far from what that physical body should have produced.
Bobbi gritted her teeth and endured the pain of broken bones and damaged organs. Holding an alloy baton, she limped toward Susamaru.
Coulson was also anxiously replacing the magazine.
And Susamaru could only squat in place, watching the enemy who was trying to kill her approach step by step, shouting unwilling and angry words.
"Hateful, hateful, hateful... When I recover, I'll keep you awake and watch me eat you in one bite!"
"You... should worry... about yourself first!"
Bobbi dragged her heavy body, swayed to Susamaru, concentrated her remaining strength in her right arm, raised her baton tremblingly, and slammed it down.
Looking at the baton constantly magnifying in her eyes, Susamaru widened her eyes and let out an unwilling roar.
But after the previous head blow and shooting, her body had been further damaged by the wisteria flower poison. It was already very difficult just to keep squatting in place—she was unable to dodge at all.
And in this state, if her head took another heavy blow, she might really die.
Coulson changed the magazine and aimed the gun.
He happened to see the scene where Bobbi made the final blow to Susamaru. He couldn't help swallowing and watched nervously.
Boom!
At the last moment, a dark shadow flew over and knocked Bobbi away.
Coulson was startled and looked in the direction from which the shadow had flown—Yahaba, whose body was tattered and covered in blood, aimed his palm at him, his expression full of anger.
