"Of course!"
Hibiki suddenly became furious, turned his face, and roared at Karasumaru.
At that moment, the drums on Hibiki's body sounded, and then, the wind around him surged, blowing Karasumaru away.
Hibiki roared, "I will definitely make Lord Demon King recognize me again, I can do it, blood, I just need more blood!"
Karasumaru hit the wall, smacked his lips, and wisely refrained from speaking.
Karasumaru wanted to say that even if there was a Demon King in the world battlefield, it might not be the Demon King of their own world!
And...
This is the world battlefield!
There are ways to get stronger here, so there's no need to be fixated on drinking blood.
His current identity is a chosen one, not just a mere demon. If so, why should he use demonic methods to become stronger?
However, Karasumaru dared not speak.
Because Hibiki was stronger than him.
Secondly, Hibiki only wanted blood, while Karasumaru wanted fragments of the God Stone. Thus, their partnership had always been pleasant. Hibiki defeated opponents, and Karasumaru killed them.
Hibiki got blood, and Karasumaru got fragments of the God Stone.
This was immensely beneficial for Karasumaru. He only needed to lure people over and deliver the final blow. Moreover, the fragments of the God Stone seemed much more valuable than the so-called blood.
Karasumaru did not want to offend Hibiki over trivial matters and lose such a great opportunity to earn God Stone fragments.
"Alright, you will definitely return to the Twelve Demon Moons." Karasumaru smiled fawningly and then said, "Do you know the Lower Rank Five of the Twelve Demon Moons? That little brat named Rui, I heard he is very favored by the Demon King. He is the only Lower Rank who can share his blood with others."
Hibiki's pupils immediately trembled, then showed anger.
Sharing blood with humans was a privilege granted by the Demon King to the Upper Ranks.
For a Lower Rank to possess such power was a special privilege!
As expected, he was very favored!
But why could he, while Hibiki was expelled from the Twelve Demon Moons?
Why!
Hibiki became even more furious.
Seeing this, Karasumaru continued to stir the pot, "But, that brat Rui, the Lower Rank Five, was killed by the guy I brought. So, as long as you kill him..."
Hibiki interrupted, "I can prove that I am stronger than the current Lower Rank Five, more worthy of the Demon King's favor, and I deserve the title of the Twelve Demon Moons, right?"
Karasumaru smiled and said, "Isn't that so?"
Hibiki took a deep breath, his gaze turned ferocious, and he pounded the drum on his waist. "I will get my number back!"
With that said, Hibiki walked to the side and left the house.
...
At the same time...
Byakuya was hanging upside down from the ceiling. To be precise, the floor had become the ceiling, and the ceiling had become the floor.
This room was very strange!
As Byakuya thought, he leaped down from the ceiling and walked towards a reversed door on the side.
But just as Byakuya reached the door and was about to reach out, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Byakuya immediately leaped backward, and at that moment...
With a boom!
The door was blown to smithereens and shattered.
Hibiki walked in from outside the door and looked at Byakuya. "Did you kill the Lower Rank Five?"
Byakuya looked into Hibiki's eyes and couldn't help but say, "So there really is a former Lower Rank?"
Byakuya had thought Karasumaru had tricked him here to kill him, and the so-called hidden mission and the former Lower Rank didn't exist.
Hibiki said again, "Did you kill the Lower Rank Five?"
Byakuya smiled and said, "If you are referring to a little brat who plays with spider silk, then yes, I killed him!"
Hibiki's expression immediately became excited, and he growled at Byakuya, "I will kill you to prove to the Demon King that I deserve my number!"
Dong!
While speaking, Hibiki violently beat the drum on his chest.
As the drumbeat sounded, Byakuya felt something was wrong and quickly leaped to the side.
The next moment, three terrifying claw marks appeared out of thin air on the wall behind Byakuya, tearing it apart.
"An invisible attack?" Byakuya frowned. "Or an attack that uses sound?"
Byakuya quickly glanced at the strangely laid-out room, and it was possible it was an attack that ignored space.
"Forget it!" Byakuya shook his head, raised his sword, and slashed, "It's all the same anyway, just kill him."
Byakuya raised his Nanming Lihuo Sword and slashed forward.
Buzz!
A sword hum suddenly sounded, followed by a large amount of radiance blooming from the Nanming Lihuo Sword, turning into a long rainbow that slashed towards Hibiki.
Dong, dong!
Hibiki had no intention of dodging, but stood his ground and beat the drums on his shoulders.
The next moment, the room suddenly rotated.
And as the room rotated, the rainbow that swept forward changed its trajectory, from slashing forward to slashing upward.
With a booming sound, a hole was punched through the roof, and Hibiki seized this opportunity to instantly attack Byakuya, sweeping a leg at him.
Byakuya quickly crossed his arms...
Bang!
Feeling the force, Byakuya was kicked backward, and then...
Dong, dong!
Hibiki beat the drums again, and the room spun rapidly.
Although Byakuya was flying backward, he suddenly moved forward, and Hibiki, who was originally in front of Byakuya, suddenly appeared above Byakuya as the room rotated.
Hibiki clenched his fists, his face contorted with ferocity, and he powerfully smashed down towards Byakuya's spine.
With a bang, Byakuya fell downwards, hitting the door below.
The door was instantly smashed to pieces, and Byakuya was thrown out of the room into the corridor outside the door.
The corridor was also extremely strange. The wall was below, the floor was on the right, and the ceiling was on the left.
It only looked like the structure of the house was strange and didn't affect anything, but the visual impact was significant.
Even though Byakuya was standing on the ground, he felt like he was standing on a wall, and it even made Byakuya question whether his body was horizontal or vertical.
The feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
The next moment...
The drumbeat sounded again.
Byakuya quickly leaped to the side.
Then, the ceiling directly in front of him was torn to shreds, and three huge claw marks appeared in the place where Byakuya was standing.
Byakuya glanced at the claw marks, and then...
Teleportation!
Byakuya suddenly appeared behind Hibiki and slashed forward with his Nanming Lihuo Sword.
But...
The room rotated again. With Hibiki and Byakuya as the dividing line, they interlocked above and below each other. Thus, the Nanming Lihuo Sword cut through empty space.
