"Yes, just come and eat it."
Watching Akihiro get closer, Yamibari's face showed satisfaction.
Akihiro, with wild and fervent eyes, stared at the heart, as if he couldn't wait to snatch and devour it.
Yamibari took a step forward, directly offering the heart to Akihiro, bringing it within arm's reach.
"Eat."
But Akihiro suddenly looked up, his face filled with terror.
Yamibari, who had been observing Akihiro, felt his heart tighten.
"Could there be a Demon Slayer hidden up there?"
Following Akihiro's gaze, Yamibari abruptly tilted his head back.
But to his surprise, after carefully scanning the top of the cave, he saw nothing. Forget Demon Slayers, there wasn't even a Demon's shadow.
"Then why did this brat suddenly look up?"
Yamibari, with his head tilted back, couldn't help but wonder. However, he quickly realized.
"Damn it, I've been tricked."
As soon as he realized he had been tricked, Yamibari immediately tensed his body, preparing to defend himself.
But he was always a step too slow.
He only felt a sharp pain in his jaw. Yamibari's head was heavily struck by Akihiro, and a dull thud mixed with dense bone-cracking sounds rang out.
Taking advantage of having tricked Yamibari, Akihiro, from bottom to top, clenched his right fist and delivered a heavy uppercut to Yamibari's jaw.
In his previous life, to survive, Akihiro had accompanied people to boxing matches for a period of time. Although he was beaten quite badly, he earned a lot of money and learned some relevant knowledge.
The jaw is one of the three most vulnerable parts of the human body.
The other two parts are the liver and the back of the ear.
When the jaw or the back of the ear is severely struck, a person's brain will become uncontrollably muddled and confused, sometimes even falling directly into a coma.
And a severe blow to the liver will directly cause serious internal injuries.
Even if they turn into demons, these places should be relatively weaker.
Akihiro understood this, so his attacks went straight for Yamibari's vulnerable spots.
A fierce uppercut caused Yamibari's entire head to tilt back abnormally.
And the immense power belonging to a demon shattered Yamibari's jawbone directly, with bone splinters even piercing through the skin.
Compared to their terrifying strength, a demon's physical defense is much weaker. Perhaps because they can heal infinitely and are immortal, they haven't invested evolution points in defense...
Yamibari's vision went black. He only felt dizziness and his brain spinning. He wanted to retaliate, but he couldn't control his body.
And once Akihiro succeeded with one strike, of course, he would mercilessly beat a dog that had fallen into the water.
Spreading his arms, he directly seized Yamibari's entire head, straightened his backward-tilting head, and then exerted force to press Yamibari's head downwards.
At the same time, Akihiro bent his right leg and thrust it upwards. His hard knee, carrying enough force to crush boulders, slammed into Yamibari's head.
"Thud."
Like a watermelon suddenly splitting open, red and white splattered all over Akihiro.
With a fierce, sharp knee strike, he directly smashed Yamibari's head into a pulp.
"Phew, it should be over for now."
After a fierce and seamless combo, Akihiro let out a long breath.
Then he kicked Yamibari's headless body aside, preparing to eat a few bites of the unfortunate person Yamibari had hunted before figuring out how to deal with Yamibari.
Demon slaying demon, however, is very difficult.
Although he didn't know if the corpse was good or bad in life, or how much fear and despair it felt before dying.
But to have the strength to act, to have the strength to avenge his enemies.
Akihiro had no choice but to eat humans.
But Akihiro had barely taken two steps forward when Yamibari's voice, full of rage, came from behind.
"I, your great self, haven't felt this level of pain in a long time."
"Having my head blown off hurts very, very much!"
Looking down, Akihiro saw the red and white matter splattered on his clothes turning into ash and disappearing.
He turned around and saw that Yamibari had stood up at some point. His previously headless body was repairing itself from the neck upwards at a visible speed.
Along with the head of flesh and bones, his mouth had just finished repairing.
Akihiro's eyes narrowed, and he felt a little annoyed.
He had made a mistake based on experience.
Akihiro only knew that demons have strong regenerative abilities. After he himself became a demon, he only regenerated broken fangs and recovered from the injuries caused by the black-haired demon while unconscious, but he didn't know how long it took.
Therefore, Akihiro didn't really understand how strong a demon's regenerative ability truly was.
So he used his past experience, taking it for granted that blowing off Yamibari's head had severely injured the opponent.
Even if it could regenerate, it should take a considerable amount of time, after all, the head is a very important part of the body for humans.
However, how can demons be measured by common sense?
In just a few breaths, Yamibari was already moving freely.
This kind of mistake must not be made again in the future.
Just shattering the head is not enough. At the very least, he needs to crush the entire body.
Yamibari and Akihiro charged at each other simultaneously, fighting head-on.
"Brat, I don't know how long you've been a demon."
"But I'm a demon who has lived for decades, and age is a symbol of a demon's strength."
Yamibari had never taken Akihiro seriously. Not to mention that demons are inherently difficult to kill, the power gap between a newborn demon like Akihiro and him was enormous.
Being ambushed just now was nothing.
As long as his neck wasn't severed by a Nichirin blade, what if his head was blown off?
Brat, how can you, a newborn demon, fight an old demon like me, Great Yamibari?
However, as soon as they engaged, Yamibari became somewhat irritated.
Because Akihiro was as slippery as an eel, Yamibari couldn't catch him with even the fiercest attacks. Yamibari was not skilled in speed.
Meanwhile, Akihiro was silently estimating Yamibari's strength and speed, trying to deduce the enemy's power.
The black-haired demon from before, his attacks were late to start but arrived first. Akihiro saw nothing; his entire face had been pierced, and he was lifted up.
That black-haired demon was much stronger than the demon in front of him.
But that unknown enemy made the black-haired demon not even show a hint of resistance, only kneeling down to die...
Akihiro sighed in his heart, the gap was too big.
Yamibari's strength and speed were both superior to Akihiro's, and he was relentlessly pressing and suppressing Akihiro.
However, this level was still within Akihiro's tolerance.
But to gain the upper hand in battle, this wouldn't do. Yamibari wasn't stupid. Although Akihiro kept dodging, Yamibari was also compressing his living space.
If he kept dodging, he would eventually have nowhere to avoid.
Akihiro needed a turning point, a turning point that could reverse the tide of battle.
And he had already thought about how to create this turning point.
At this moment, Yamibari curved his palm into a claw, fiercely striking towards Akihiro's heart. But Akihiro, who had been constantly dodging, suddenly paused, his speed a beat slower.
Yamibari was overjoyed. That feeling of the opponent constantly playing hide-and-seek and not engaging in a head-on fight was truly awful.
Although the opponent would eventually be forced to death, this process still annoyed Yamibari.
He preferred head-on, hard-hitting battles.
Seeing the opportunity, Yamibari used all his strength, to prevent Akihiro from reacting and escaping again.
His claws became even more fierce and sharp, and his sharp fingernails also extended a bit further. The tips of his fingernails, like knife points, shone with a cold glint.
At the same time, Akihiro smiled at him.
"Idiot, you fell for it again."
Then, to Yamibari's surprise, Akihiro showed no intention of dodging.
Not only did he not dodge, Akihiro even stepped forward, actively sending his heart into Yamibari's hand.
"Pfft!"
Sharp claws pierced into flesh, bringing out a spray of blood.
Akihiro also couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood...
