This world is mostly like this, small fish eat shrimp, big fish eat small fish...
Gu Mo roared as he slashed out with the sword light in his hand. At the same time, the outline of the White Viper flickered in the dim night, occasionally flashing momentarily, like a ray of lightning falling on the earth, dreamlike and illusory. Its long body extended, the head of the Divine Dragon seen but not the tail, with only its fine scales reflecting the cold moonlight.
Ordinary people who see this scene might think they are seeing things or having hallucinations, because how could an enormously gigantic snake body suddenly wind and coil out of thin air? Although the interlacing of light and shadow often lasts only an instant, the revealed outline is enough to be breathtaking.
And beneath this deadly light and aesthetic lies equally lethal power, like a white light blade spitting sharpness, the whole body seemingly composed of pure, untainted light body, the infinitely shining Distinguished Sword bursts forth with terrifying light and heat, like a blazing little sun in the dark night.
In an instant sweep, within a range of several dozen yards, the densely packed demons and ghosts, initially pressing like a tide, were instantly slashed by the sword light like a giant laser beam, and then all evaporated cleanly like saltwater under high temperature.
Perhaps because their level was too low, their strength too weak, but this was also related to the attack power of the Ninety-nine Weapons completely overflowing.
Even if they were swapped with ordinary Demon Ghost units from the Nioh World, it would likely still be one slash, and they would all be cleanly cleaved, described as overwhelmingly powerful... Even if some demons and ghosts were not small fry and had become big fish, in the face of this distinguished sharpness, they were still no different from paper, shattered like tofu smashed by a hammer.
Demons and ghosts are all monsters generated from the 'fearful' side of people, inhabiting the corners born from the dark facets and grim emotions of the human heart. Due to the thousand faces of human hearts, each face different, what they think, worry, and ponder is also completely different, leading to their great variety.
Not only are their forms bizarre and varied, but their innate talent abilities often differ as well.
Under such a large base, it's inevitable to occasionally have some peculiar anomalies, generally rather troublesome. Though not especially mighty in battle strength, they possess rather troublesome dogged survival capabilities. They may be gigantic in size with formidable regeneration ability; or in bizarrely deceitful existence forms, seemingly independent but actually having multiple bodies connected, akin to conjoined twins.
But at this moment, these are often of no avail, because upon being blasted once by the distinguished sharpness of the Ninety-nine Weapons, the fierce poison spreads on them, like a disease clinging to the bones, and as long as it touches even a little, there's only one outcome.
The White Viper, unlike other Snake Gods, typically belonging to Water Virtue, is revered and feared for its intense poison. As a Guardian Spirit, the constant protective effects it brings also speak volumes about many issues.
And when the Ninety-nine Weapons are triggered, what exactly Guardian Spirit's attribute power they are harnessing will also affect the Ninety-nine Weapons' strength, attributes, and effects series of performances, so in Gu Mo's hand, the Snake Sword, with a fierce reputation, is not only astonishingly powerful but also carries an extremely fierce poison attribute.
Therefore—
The power and usage of the demons and ghosts also need consumption, but even if not slain on the spot, the fierce poison of the White Viper directly acts on their Spirit Body nature, and touching even a little will spread throughout the body until completely decayed and withered away.
No matter how astounding regeneration ability they have, or what deceitful talents they possess, it doesn't change the result; the cost of not being slain on the spot is to die more painfully, not being cleanly shattered and brutally killed, will also be poisoned and dragged to death.
The strikes are not just fiery, but because of the enchantment of the Purification Talisman, each slash is true damage with a critical hit, while the Sword Qi inherently carries a poison attribute itself... One could say that with an attack, even if the opponent doesn't die, they'll be crippled; if their health bar hasn't been emptied, they'll be left with a body full of DEBUFFs.
The Ninety-nine Weapons are just so dominantly powerful, and Gu Mo feels that although so far, he hasn't dropped a decent piece of equipment.
But with the two uses of the Guardian Spirit, it's like he got two pieces of legendary golden equipment early on, one weapon, one armor, and both are of the growth type... Not getting equipment with attributes seems to be rather insignificant in comparison.
"Can still hold on for a while..."
Ignoring the howling wind and the echoing cries of ghosts around him, Gu Mo's body mechanically repeated the sword-swinging motions that almost formed muscle memory, while in his mind he sensed his state, contemplating how much longer he could hold out.
Dagu can transform into Ultraman Tiga, but that doesn't mean Dagu is Ultraman Tiga, and their situations must be viewed separately.
He is the same; if the time comes when the power of the Guardian Spirit can no longer be exerted, he would be left alone, and even a hundred lives wouldn't be enough to share among these surrounding demons and devils... Thus, grasping the timing, to decisively run when it's time to run, is crucial.
However, with Spiritual Enhancement at 13 points, combined with 13 points of Constitution, it indeed makes him more enduring. Compared to last time, it's noticeably better.
