Chapter 14

As for the Rat King's provocation, Yudou didn't take it to heart at all.

Those ghost clans are all battle maniacs, what does it have to do with him, Yudou? Knowing very well that they can't match their opponents in strength, they still pick up their weapons and fight. Is that bravery? That's just being an idiot!

Besides, he isn't a pure ghost clan member; he's just a half-demon. Why should he care about that old ghost clan honor?

The Rat King's wails echoed through the night, but Yudou could feel that the other party's aura was getting weaker.

Yudou could sense that the Rat King was also aware that his life was rapidly draining away. Despite being much stronger, he was about to die in such a humiliating way?

If things had continued like this, Yudou could have worn down the other party with a bit more time.

But unfortunately, another accident happened...

Thanks to the "Demon Qi Talismans" given by Yudou, Kudou Hinano and Kojima Yusaburo and the others successfully exterminated several waves of rat demons and were preparing to come to Yudou's side to see if they needed help.

What they saw was a rat as big as a car, with eyes as red as car headlights.

Kojima Yusaburo and the others had thought that rats the size of hunting dogs were already outrageous, but now, seeing the size of the Rat King, they realized that those previous rat demons were just kids!

At this moment, Yudou, who was on the Rat King's back, suddenly looked grim when he saw Kudou Hinano and Yusaburo and the others rushing over.

Moreover, thanks to the "Demon Qi Talismans," Yusaburo and the others, who had successfully dealt with a large number of ordinary rat demons, were now extremely confident.

Despite trembling in fear before the ordinary rat demons, they now faced the Rat King, which was the size of a small bus, and actually pulled out their pistols and started shooting wildly.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

With the sound of clear and crisp shots, Yusaburo and the others had quite good aim, and most of the bullets hit the Rat King. Given the Rat King's massive size, it was actually harder to miss.

As for the result, it goes without saying. The Rat King, who could become the king of the rat demons, was naturally not like the ordinary rat demons.

A large number of bullets hit the Rat King's fur, but only produced a lot of sparks and the sound of metal clashing.

Clearly, the pistol bullets that could deal with ordinary rat demons couldn't even penetrate the Rat King's defenses.

Moreover, Yusaburo and the others' attacks not only had no effect but also thoroughly enraged the Rat King.

It had already been infuriated by Yudou's cowardly tactics, and the loss of life had pushed it into a state of madness.

Now, suddenly facing an attack, the Rat King, almost instinctively, charged at Kudou Hinano and the others at an incredible speed.

Because of the massive blood loss, the Rat King was clearly in a dying state, but it became even more疯狂. It didn't even try to avoid obstacles like buildings and fences as it charged straight at Kudou Hinano and the others.

No matter what creature, the last-ditch counterattack before death is the most terrifying, and the Rat King was no exception.

It knew it probably wouldn't survive today, but even if it couldn't deal with the half-demon kid on its back, it was determined to take a few humans with it!

With its enormous size and the desperate momentum of a dying creature, Yusaburo and the others had never seen such a scene before. They were immediately paralyzed with fear.

Even if they hadn't been scared stiff and had chosen to run, they clearly wouldn't have been able to outrun the mad Rat King.

After all, the Rat King's speed was even faster than Yudou, a half-demon, let alone Kudou Hinano and the other ordinary people.

"Damn it, I told you before that I could handle this alone, but you insisted on coming to cause trouble!"

Even Yudou needed to avoid the Rat King's last-ditch counterattack, but despite his harsh words, he couldn't stand by and do nothing.

Yudou pulled out the long sword embedded in the Rat King's back, and a huge gush of blood spurted out. The Rat King screamed in pain again.

Knowing it was about to die, the Rat King was quite resolute. Despite the severe injury, it still charged at Kudou Hinano and the others without hesitation.

Yudou, who had pulled out the long sword, leaped forward and stood in front of the charging Rat King. He gripped the hilt with one hand and pressed the blade with the other, using the demon-slaying sword to block the Rat King's fangs.

The demon-slaying sword clashed with the Rat King's sharp teeth, and a large amount of sparks flew in the night. The terrifying force transmitted through the blade followed.

The Rat King's strength was already greater than Yudou's, and although it was severely injured, its last-ditch counterattack made it even more dangerous.

The terrifying force transmitted through the blade caused Yudou's feet to sink deeply into the concrete ground, and as the Rat King exerted more force, Yudou's feet plowed two deep grooves into the ground.

"Boom—Boom—Boom—"

After being pushed by the Rat King and crashing through several buildings, Yudou couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Glancing at Kudou Hinano and the others not far behind and seeing his own body still retreating, Yudou finally roared in anger and used a power he had never intended to use.

With Yudou's roar, a black aura began to emanate from his body, horns grew on his head, his eyes turned from black to red, and his demon power surged instantly.

Because of the sudden surge in power, Yudou's body, which had been pushed by the Rat King, immediately stopped.

The Rat King, which had been in a mad frenzy due to its last-ditch counterattack, was also snapped out of its madness by the sudden surge of demon power from Yudou.

Before it could beg for mercy, a long sword filled with intense demon power pierced through its eye, and a demon energy slash followed, cutting its head in two!

The massive demon energy slash not only split the huge Rat King in two but also left a deep, half-meter-wide gash in the street behind it.

"Trash, who gave you the courage to wail in front of me?"

Yudou, looking at the Rat King's corpse on the ground, had a manic expression. The demon-slaying sword in his hand hummed, as if very satisfied with its current master, Yudou.

However, before the half-demonized Yudou could enter the usual corpse desecration phase, his demon power suddenly weakened, the horns on his head slowly retracted into his body, and his blood-red eyes turned back to black.

Yudou, exhausted, leaned on the demon-slaying sword and began to pant heavily.

"Almost couldn't suppress the ghost clan bloodline, but at least I didn't lose consciousness like before, which would have been embarrassing."
