Night fell quietly.
Surrounded by the ruins of abandoned mansions, the open space was engulfed by darkness. However, the pools of blood scattered around couldn't be concealed, their vivid crimson color shining brightly, sending shivers down one's spine.
At this moment, Vajra's corpse had been devoured completely. However, the group of Aragami gathered here hadn't completely disappeared. Several Ogretail Aragami remained here, wandering around.
In addition to the Ogretails creatures, there was also a figure standing in front of the wreckage of an overturned helicopter. The figure stood at a height of two meters, resembling a human in shape, but with mechanical wings behind its back. It looked like a legendary winged creature, guarding the area with folded arms.
In the corner of the ruins, next to an abandoned mansion, Fang Li and Alisa were hiding in the shadows, looking at the winged figure standing before the wreckage. They exchanged glances.
Then, Fang Li lowered his voice and asked Alisa a question.
"Is that Chi-You?"
Chi-You.
A very famous medium-sized Aragami.
It was named after the leader of the Nine Li Tribe in Chinese mythology, known for its supposed invulnerability with a copper head and iron forehead.
Within the category of medium-sized Aragami, Chi-You was considered one of the most formidable Aragami. Not only did it possess a steel-like defense, but its wings could also be used like hands for attacking. Furthermore, this Aragami could gather heat and release a certain type of flaming ability.
Therefore, among the medium-sized Aragami, Chi-You was renowned as one of the most challenging, causing many God Eaters to return empty-handed from their hunts.
"This area shouldn't be Chi-You's habitat. It was most likely manipulated by Aphrodite's hormones and attracted here by Vajra's corpse," Alisa nodded before she spoke in a low low voice, and said, "However, if there's only one, I should be able to handle it."
"Unfortunately, there is not only one Chi-You here but also several Ogretails creatures," Fang Li cast his gaze upon the open space of ruins and narrowed his eyes. He continued, "So, you take care of those Ogretails creatures, and I'll deal with Chi-You."
"Are you sure?" Alisa couldn't help but speak, "Your body shouldn't be fully recovered yet, right?"
"No, there's nothing wrong with my body. The injury in my abdomen is not a big concern. I lost consciousness before only because I exerted too much power. It has nothing to do with my body," Fang Li said, "Although I still occasionally feel a drowsy sensation, it's almost negligible and won't affect my battle."
"But…" Alisa seemed unconvinced.
Seeing Alisa like this, Fang Li couldn't help but rub his nose, finding it amusing.
Ever since he woke up and truly began to connect with Alisa, the girl who had always maintained a cold and aloof attitude toward him had finally revealed her true self. Unconsciously, their relationship had become closer.
Otherwise, Alisa would never have openly expressed her worries like this before.
Therefore, Fang Li softened his tone and said to Alisa, "Don't worry, for me, Chi-You is relatively easy to deal with. Its famous defensive power is almost non-existent against me. Killing it is just a matter of a single strike. In that case, it's more suitable for me to handle it."
Hearing this, Alisa remembered what Fang Li had said before.
"There is nothing that I cannot kill, even Aragami."
This statement had been proven true on many occasions.
Therefore, Alisa had no reason to doubt him.
After hesitating for a moment, Alisa helplessly said, "Then be careful."
Fang Li nodded before he turned his gaze, and once again looked ahead at the ruins.
"So, let's begin."
As soon as the words fell, Fang Li and Alisa moved suddenly, leaping out from the shadows.
With their movement, all the Aragami in the open space of ruins reacted and they all raised their heads and roared one after another.
However, in that instant, a black shadow blended into the darkness like a bat, swiftly approaching a human-like metallic figure.
"Chī—!"
Amidst the faint sound of space breaking, Fang Li's figure completely vanished.
Even though Fang Li and Alisa had rushed out at the same time, Fang Li had already disappeared by the time Alisa took her first step.
It wasn't solely because Fang Li's speed far surpassed Alisa's, but also because Fang Li had mastered the Skill of Flashing Dash.
Therefore, as soon as he moved, Fang Li's speed instantly accelerated to its limit. Like a spider darting out of its nest, he swiftly maneuvered through the Ogretails Aragami, effortlessly bypassing them one by one. He headed straight toward Chi-You, standing before the pile of ruins.
"—!"
Only then did Chi-You emit a barely audible low sound. It swiftly turned around, and one of its mechanical wings curled up, forming a fist-like appearance. It swung heavily towards Fang Li.
"Hū—!"
The heavy strike caused the air to be swept aside, producing a howling sound. However, for the current Fang Li, such a straightforward attack was too monotonous.
In the next instant, Fang Li's figure seemed to disregard inertia and suddenly halted, as if he had been there from the beginning.
The heavy blow, resembling a hammer, descended abruptly.
"Boom—!"
In the stifling sound, the ground trembled slightly, sending fragments of rock and dust flying as a shockwave of impact stirred up around Chi-You's heavily fallen wings, causing grit to swirl in the air.
However, the blow landed on the ground not far in front of Fang Li, completely missing him. If Fang Li hadn't suddenly stopped, he would have definitely rushed there and encountered Chi-You's strike.
Unfortunately, with the comprehension of Flashing Dash, Fang Li completely disregarded inertia, easily nullifying Chi-You's attack.
Accelerating from a state of stillness to the limit.
Stopping abruptly from an extremely fast state.
The extraordinary and unexpected Nanaya Assassination Technique was flawlessly displayed in those few steps.
So, what would Chi-You face next?
It was simple.
With another strike from the Aragami, Fang Li accelerated from a state of stillness to the limit once again.
"Qiāng—!"
Amidst the sword-like cry, a strike as dazzling as a flash burst forth from Fang Li's hand, which had suddenly appeared in front of Chi-You.
The bright blade light flashed through space, entering Chi-You's body while it was still unable to react.
