Xia Yan's main target for this operation was the volunteer for this drug clinical trial, the spider demon Rui, who is the fifth of the twelve demon moons!
"Mom, are you planning to leave with this person?"
Lei's tone was cold and flat, revealing no emotional fluctuations. It didn't sound like he was speaking to a relative at all; rather, it sounded more like he was talking to a roadside stone or tree trunk.
This calm tone only made the spider mother more flustered, and she could barely speak.
"I'm tired, I... I'm just..."
"Hey kid, don't scare my little pet."
Xia Yan interrupted the little pet's speech, put his left arm around her shoulder, and pulled her into his arms amidst the spider mother's surprised expression.
He struck a pose that said, "I'm taking her away today, let's see who dares to stop me."
"And soon, you won't have to play your pretend game anymore."
Chapter 391 I am the Heavenly Emperor, and shall infuriate all my enemies.
"What did you just say?!"
Lei, who had just been ignoring Xia Yan and completely disregarding him, suddenly glared at him angrily, as if some key word had been triggered.
Although he is a ghost, Rui has a twisted obsession with family ties.
Although she was tired because her father wanted to kill her, and her mother chose to collude with him, she believed that the bond between her and her parents was hypocritical.
Ultimately, consumed by rage, he murdered his parents.
But actually, he was just overwhelmed by anger when he was exhausted. After calming down, he remembered what had happened.
The reason his father wanted to kill him and his mother did not protect him was not because their bond was false, but because they had done something wrong.
To atone for his mistakes, the father decided to take the blame and die with his son to atone for their sins and go to the underworld together!
The love my father and mother had for me was real, and the bonds I shared with my family were real.
But by the time he realized this, he had already severed this real bond with his own hands...
Unwilling to accept this reality, and living in constant pain, he eventually lost his memory.
So he formed his own "family" on Mount Natagumo, trying to find his lost memories through this method.
Lei believes that by connecting with genuine family bonds, he can regain his memories and remember what he truly wants.
Therefore, he could not tolerate Xia Yan saying that the family he had built and the bonds he had created were just playing house.
However, this kind of outburst behavior, when placed in front of Xia Yan, is tantamount to exposing his own mental weakness!
"Hey~ You're angry? Because I said you were playing house? But it was fake to begin with!"
"No way, no way, does anyone really think that just because someone is forcibly put together to play house by relying on terror, they are family?"
"My family is laughing so hard they can't stand it! It's really bad! My poor little pet has to play house with this brat every day, it's so hard on her..."
Having grasped Lei's weakness, Xia Yan immediately unleashed a series of incredibly smooth and sarcastic internet-style moves.
Perhaps Xia Yan himself did not become corrupted by his tragic experiences like he did when he transmigrated into the worlds of One Piece, Ajin, and Harry Potter, and became completely immersed in the idea that "the world kisses me with pain, and I must take revenge on the world."
However, he is the one with the strongest sense of fun and the most adventurous spirit.
The key point is that, in the current world, given his strength, he is definitely at the very top level.
In other words, he's not just a comedian, he's a really good fighter, and he's the kind of person who can get away with anything and never die.
However, Xia Yan's words, spoken in his attempt to have fun, terrified the spider mother he was holding in his arms.
She had only leaned against Xia Yan because she didn't dare to resist.
At this moment, the entire ghost collapsed into Xia Yan's arms, so frightened that it was powerless and could not even stand up.
Due to excessive fear, even the mimicry became unstable, and the eyes returned to their original golden color.
Only because Xia Yan held her did she not fall directly to the ground.
Having lived on Mount Natagumo for decades, she was often punished for her clumsiness, but she has managed to survive to this day, which naturally proves that she knows what problems she absolutely cannot make!
At this moment, what Xia Yan said and did was absolutely forbidden!
"You...you bastard! What did you say?!"
"What did you just say?!"
Having lived in the mountains for decades, Lei, with his simple and honest mind, could not withstand such an abstract attack. He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and he could no longer speak coherently.
His eyes were fixed on Xia Yan, his teeth were grinding, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Between their ten fingers, it was as if they were playing cat's cradle, weaving a spider web.
The intense killing intent was almost tangible; the surrounding wind froze, and the air became so heavy it seemed to have turned into mercury.
From the moment Xia Yan entered the mountains, the sound of spiders crawling, which had never stopped, also fell silent.
If Lei wasn't a demon but a Saiyan, he'd probably be emitting golden light from his body.
"Hey, say what you just said again..."
Perhaps confident in his own imposing manner, believing he could make Xia Yan realize the difference in their strength, Lei feigned calmness as he uttered harsh words, even revealing a hypocritical and cold smile on his face.
However, this childish behavior, which had no offensive capabilities, almost made Xia Yan burst out laughing.
Just kidding?
Even Upper Moon Three Akaza was brutally beaten to the ground by Natsuhiko, and could only rely on the powerful regenerative abilities of the demon's body to stall for time and fight a war of attrition.
With just that little bit of killing intent, even calling it a breeze seems too weak.
"Hey, are you trying to scare your dad?"
"You've already broken down? All I said was that you like playing house, it's no big deal, why are you getting so worked up?"
What's tiring to answer is Xia Yan's endless stream of trash talk.
Although he could barely protect his family online before, he brought his craft to the Taisho era more than a hundred years ago.
That can only be described in one sentence.
I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I shall suppress all enemies in the world!
Weng——
A strange buzzing sound rang out.
Countless dense spiderwebs overlapped together, swarming towards Xia Yan from all directions like a shrinking cage.
Blood Demon Art: Killing Eyes!
Without saying much, he struck with a deadly move.
He was too tired to smile anymore; smiles had become a distant memory for him.
He was so angry that he couldn't even muster the thought of torturing Xia Yan; all he wanted to do was cut him into pieces to vent his anger.
The blood-red spiderweb seemed cursed, carrying an unusually strong aura of blood and misfortune.
This color wasn't for aesthetic purposes, but rather because Lei, in order to prevent Xia Yan from blocking his attacks, not only used the hardest silk threads but also further strengthened them with blood.
The trees along the way were as fragile as tofu in the face of the silk threads.
The silk threads themselves possess the strength to cut through gold and jade; once they are coated with his blood, even diamonds will be sliced open like butter.
If you were hit by such an attack, it wouldn't just be described as being "shredded." Given the density of the mesh, it could probably be used as filling.
Chapter 392 A Suffocating Feeling Like a Python Coiling Around
"Yare yare~, you Twelve Demon Moons, you're all like monsters, so~ scary~!"
Faced with Lei's unsportsmanlike sneak attack, Xia Yan continued to make his usual strange jokes, but his eyes became more serious.
Despise the enemy strategically and value the enemy tactically.
Even if it's just the lower crescent moon, the Blood Demon Art of the Twelve Demon Moons would be so powerful that even a single blow to him would be extremely painful.
Moreover, Rei is no ordinary Lower Moon demon.
Being more favored by Muzan means that he received more blood from Muzan.
Even though he shared his power with his so-called 'family', which weakened his own strength considerably, he is still not to be underestimated.
From the perspective of destructive power alone, this move is almost comparable to the attack of an Upper Moon demon.
Therefore, it's no longer possible to simply block with simplified moves as before.
However, it's not that difficult.
The blade pointed vertically downwards at the ground, and Xia Yan's eyes gleamed with a cold light that made it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.
"Storm Breathing - Ninth Form - Mysterious Wind - Genbu!"
At that moment, the air vibrated!
hold head high--
The howling winds gathered together, pressed down, collided, and rubbed against each other, producing a dull sound.
613
It has an inexplicable sacred charm.
It sounded like rolling thunder, or like the roar of some mythical beast.
The surging sword energy soared straight into the sky, and the terrifying sword intent made people see a strange scene before their eyes. In a daze, it seemed as if an enormous divine beast with a tortoise body and a snake tail was roaring to the sky.
The guardian beast Xuanwu, whose shell is the sky and whose belly is the earth, gives birth to the serpent of the atmosphere!
That atmospheric barrier that covers the heavens and the earth intertwines with the unobstructed divine wind, which can reduce any move to nothingness!
It represents an absolute defense and binding technique!
laugh--
The ear-piercing scraping sound rang out continuously, as if an angle grinder was cutting steel cables.
The collision between the blood-red threads and the invisible object instantly sparked countless fires in the air, making even those who were not directly involved aware of the danger.
