"Fortunately, Xiao Ye was prepared!"
Bai Ye grinned, swiftly disengaged from his spiritual form, and then began to emit large arcs of electricity from his body.
While stealthily entering in his spiritual form, Bai Ye had also spread out his electric field, and as long as it was within the coverage of the electric field…
*Zzzt!*
Bai Ye suddenly transformed into a current and shot forward.
Bai Ye quickly pursued, passing through the corridor, closely following the dark silhouette.
The dark shadow was terrifyingly fast, but after a series of movements, it suddenly realized it couldn't shake off Bai Ye. It then abruptly slammed into the ground.
*Boom!*
The ground let out a cracking sound, then the floor exploded, revealing a dark hole below.
Bai Ye, after reverting from his elemental form and reappearing, looked down into the hole.
"Are you kidding me, it can dig tunnels too?"
Bai Ye glanced at the hole, then reached into it. Immediately, the sound of crackling electricity emerged.
By using the current to cover the hole, the cave was now within the electric field's coverage.
Next, Bai Ye once again elementalized his body, transforming into electricity and rapidly descending into the hole.
The depth of the hole was greater than Bai Ye had imagined. After chasing for a while, Bai Ye's vision finally cleared as he emerged from another opening.
Looking around, Bai Ye was slightly taken aback.
The underground space was larger than Bai Ye had anticipated, at least the size of a football field, with a height of seven or eight meters. It was completely hollowed out, with many rocks piled around.
At the same time…
"You assisted the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, in investigating the Entertainment District and finding the hidden demons. Mission Reward: Sound Breathing x1"
His hidden mission was completed, but…
"You have received a hidden mission."
"Rescue the people trapped by demons. Mission Reward: Twin Chain Blades x1, Advanced Sound Breathing x1"
As expected, the hidden mission was sequential, just as Bai Ye had predicted, and the second part was indeed about rescue.
The experience from his previous life was indeed very important.
At the same time…
Bai Ye looked around again. Since arriving here meant the mission was completed, it implied this was the demon's lair?
As Bai Ye was contemplating this, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him.
Electricity immediately surged from Bai Ye's body, and with a flash, he moved ten meters forward.
*Boom!*
The instant Bai Ye moved, the spot where he had been standing instantly shattered, and a large amount of dirt exploded.
It was then that Bai Ye saw the true appearance of the dark shadow, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
"This is…" Bai Ye hesitated, "a belt?"
What appeared before Bai Ye was a belt worn around the waist of a Japanese-style female garment, pink in color, with patterns.
Strangely, the top of the belt had eyes and a mouth.
At this moment, the belt moved like a large snake in front of Bai Ye.
Then…
"You demon slayers have always tried to ruin my plans, so don't blame me for being impolite!"
Bai Ye scratched his head, this belt could actually speak?
This was a demon, right?
However, having seen all sorts of demons, a demon that looked like a belt truly surprised Bai Ye.
Even among demons, this appearance was considered remarkably unique and wondrous.
The next instant, Bai Ye had no time to think as the belt suddenly lunged towards him.
Lightning flickered across Bai Ye's body, and he instantly vanished from his spot.
The belt's speed was truly frightening, astonishingly fast, but…
Could it be faster than lightning?
*Boom!*
The belt once again slammed into the ground, making a loud noise and shattering a piece of the floor.
At the same time…
A bolt of lightning appeared behind the belt. Bai Ye materialized from the lightning and then swung his hand.
Rai Ya Nu Shu appeared in Bai Ye's hand.
*Zzzt!*
Accompanied by the sound of surging electricity, Bai Ye slashed at the belt, severing it.
At that instant, the belt let out a wail.
And the moment the belt was severed, a scantily clad woman suddenly fell from the air, landing on the ground.
"What's going on?"
Bai Ye couldn't help but be stunned. How could a woman just fall out of the sky?
Couldn't you drop some weapons, armor, or martial arts manuals instead?
At this moment, the belt turned, let out a sharp shriek, and then began to split, dividing into over a dozen strands that wriggled in the air, stabbing down at Bai Ye from all directions.
Bai Ye quickly looked up at the sky and realized the belt demon's attack actually had some substance to it.
The attack directions perfectly covered all possible evasion routes.
This could be considered an almost perfect attack because one could only block, or more directly, endure it.
In that case, he wouldn't dodge.
Bai Ye stood his ground, showing no intention of evading.
Then…
*Boom, boom, boom!*
The moment the belts descended, violent rumbling sounds continuously echoed.
The ground was instantly pulverized, kicking up large clouds of dust.
The belt cackled, "You little brat, daring to oppose me…"
The belt's triumphant laughter was cut short halfway through.
Beneath the dispersed dust, the ground was completely shattered, and several belts had pierced Bai Ye's body.
However…
It was completely useless!
Azure blue currents continuously pulsed around Bai Ye's body. The belts that had pierced him crisscrossed and plunged into the ground.
The belt's attacks were completely ineffective against Bai Ye's elementalized body.
The next instant, Bai Ye raised his sword and brought it down!
Rai Ya Nu Shu, crackling with lightning, swept forward, slicing through the surrounding belts.
And as the belts were severed, figures continuously fell out, lying scattered around.
These people were clearly the girls from the Entertainment District. They were not dead but had been knocked unconscious.
Bai Ye suddenly began to understand what was happening.
The people who disappeared from the Entertainment District were not all eaten; some of them must have been imprisoned.
As for the reason for their imprisonment, it was likely similar to stockpiling food, keeping those who couldn't be eaten for later.
"So…" Bai Ye wiped his sword, Rai Ya Nu Shu, with his finger, "If I cut this thing, I can save people, right!"
*Zzzt!*
As Bai Ye's fingertip brushed across the sword's blade, large amounts of electricity rippled from it.
Blue arcs of electricity continuously leaped, making crackling sounds.
The next instant…
*Bang!*
Bai Ye's legs exerted force, and he leaped into the air!
