He was suddenly attacked, knocked to the ground, and stabbed in the heart by sharp claws. For a moment, Zonggu thought he was really going to die.
But only for this moment.
He didn't want to die at all, so he punched Zhilei in the face.
Whoosh whoosh!
Jingzi reacted quickly and fired three arrows in a row, all of which nailed Zhilei, knocking him back slightly;
After punching him, Zonggu picked up the bamboo knife, slapped him on the head, and kicked him away.
After rolling and getting up, Zonggu retreated to the edge of the circle, panting continuously.
"Sotani-san!"
Jingzi picked up the amulet again and put it within the limit. He could reach out.
"..."
Staring at Zhilei on the ground, Zonggu shook his head slightly.
"Not urgent."
Zhilei's movements were swift and violent, but his murderous intention was not as strong as his actions showed, otherwise the few seconds just now would have been enough for him to dig out his heart.
"Ha ha!"
Zhilei got up and didn't attack immediately. Instead, he poked his heart with his finger.
"The sword pierced it in!"
"..."
Even when he was extremely nervous, Sogu managed to steal a break and glanced at Tsukuyomi outside.
It was clear that he was the one fighting Zhilei, but he kept mocking Tsukuyomi, and he was indeed crazy to the point of being incomprehensible.
Tsukuyomi was obviously going crazy.
"kill him!"
He ignored it.
If there was a way to kill Zhilei, he wouldn't be in such a mess.
Defense, counterattack.
Zonggu didn't want to face the same dangerous situation just now, so he chose to be calm. But he also understood that it seemed impossible to kill Zhilei here.
["Eight in one, those children only have the power of gods when they are united into one; if they are separated, they are not much stronger than Fangming..."]
Even though he had decided not to trust Izanami gullibly, her words still gave him an inexplicable confidence. This time, the preparations for the Hunting God were a bit hasty.
Zhilei, who was very fierce just now, also inexplicably stopped attacking after getting up again.
He looked at Zong Gu: "You are from Huangquan, go back to Huangquan!"
Sogu was not surprised that he could feel the aura of underworld on his body.
After all, Zi Lei came from the underworld, and was once assigned by Izanami to lead the underworld army to hunt down Izanagi. Hunting down "underworld refugees" like him is probably one of the duties of the Eight Thunder Gods.
Even if you are crazy, do you still retain some instincts...
Seeing that Zonggu was silent, Zhilei shouted again:
"Go back to hell!"
Looking at the bloody marks on his neck, Zonggu suddenly had an idea in his mind and immediately implemented it.
"Izanami-sama asked me to stay in this world, is it your turn to talk too much?"
Kyoko glanced at him.
Zhilei's face immediately showed a surprised expression.
"You're not afraid of her!"
Zongya understood that this was the fear deep in his heart, but he felt that he was mocking Tsukuyomi for no reason.
"Why are you afraid? I have a very good relationship with Izanami-sama."
Soya clenched his bamboo sword and assumed an offensive stance, "Izanami-sama asked me to kill you, and she will arrive soon."
"..."
Suspense and fear quickly appeared on Zhilei's face. He obviously recalled some shadows in his past memories, especially the experiences of the past two days.
Then, it was Kyoko who was surprised, because the crazy child began to slam against the boundary, trying to escape from the place.
The light blue boundary was hit and fluctuated, and she quickly reminded Zong Gu:
"Sotani-san, stop him quickly!"
Zonggu didn't expect that two simple sentences would have such an effect, but he didn't miss the opportunity and charged forward again with three points of defense.
The bamboo sword slashed down, and Zhilei refused to dodge, struggling to hit the boundary that blocked him.
What is the person or thing more terrifying than the death of body and soul?
The answer given by a god who has fallen into madness is Izanami.
Holding the bamboo sword high again, Zonggu stared closely at Zhilei, who had his back turned to him, trying to remember his madness at this time, so as to remind himself not to indulge in the illusion of the past.
"cut!"
The heavily slashed bamboo sword failed to cut off Zhilei's neck as expected. It cut into two or three centimeters and stopped him from moving, but it also allowed Zhilei to turn his attention to Zonggu again.
He turned around and punched hard, but Souya stepped back and avoided it.
The blow missed, and Zhilei did not pursue it, but turned back to hit the boundary.
Zong Gu understood that before he successfully broke through the boundary and escaped, it was his last chance to kill him.
He stepped forward again, and Zhilei glanced back warily. He was no longer as defenseless as before, but his focus was still on the light blue boundary in front of him.
Seeing him raising his hand to protect his neck where a gash had been cut, Sogu realized that the opportunity to chop off his head had been missed and immediately turned to attack his waist.
Regardless of whether he can be beheaded or cut in half, whether or not he can kill Zhilei is not discussed for the time being. The first priority is to keep him here.
As the child thunder continued to impact, the boundary fluctuated more and more violently, and the color became lighter than before.
When he bumped into him again, Sogu, who was waiting, picked up his bamboo sword and slashed hard at his waist.
"..."
Zhilei looked back angrily, his eyes cracked.
Zonggu quickly avoided it again.
He never let down his guard, and after repeating this for the third time, Zhilei's turning attack missed, and he immediately followed up with another blow, forcing him to flee again and again.
Zhilei seems to have finally realized that he must deal with Zong Gu first before he can safely break through the boundaries in front of him.
boom!
The child thunder shot out suddenly and hit the ground with a punch. Zonggu could only avoid it. The subsequent attacks came one after another, and he could only roll around in confusion.
"Izanami-sama is coming!"
"..."
The raised punch suddenly stopped, Zhilei looked at Jingzi outside in surprise, then ignored Zonggu and went to bombard the boundary again.
Zonggu was finally able to breathe, but he didn't dare to rest for too long, and he got up again in a blink of an eye.
He picked up the bamboo sword he dropped while rolling and continued to kill Zhilei.
The latter had deep enough wounds on his neck and waist, and he knew that the consequences of being attacked again would be disastrous, so he began to consciously avoid Zonggu's attacks.
Although it was not a miss, it was difficult for Soya to find a chance to completely cut him in half.
On one side is the shaky boundary of spiritual power, and on the other is Izanami who may arrive at any time. Both sides are competing for time, but Soya always has more room;
After several failed attempts, he realized this, regained his patience, and chose to stand still, facing the increasingly bleak boundaries, waiting for the best opportunity.
Only when Zhilei's strength was exhausted and there was no way to avoid it, he suddenly attacked, and he succeeded in inflicting heavy injuries on Zhilei's waist.
"Izanami-sama is coming soon!"
Inside the circle, Soya was looking for opportunities to attack, and at the same time he was threatening with words. His tone and demeanor were so lifelike that Tsukuyomi was often frightened first;
Outside the circle, Jingzi was using the remaining talismans to replenish the boundary's spiritual power as much as possible, as long as possible.
Faced with a limit that he could never break through, and subjected to continuous attacks and mental stimulation, Zhilei finally collapsed completely.
The ultimate form of madness is self-destruction.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped bombarding the boundary, Zonggu immediately increased his vigilance.
Then, Zhilei suddenly floated to a height of half a meter above the ground, and his body began to disintegrate from his fingertips, sending out dangerous fluctuations.
"..."
The fluctuation came, and Tsukuyomi was startled at first, and then shocked.
"Run away quickly, he's going to die!"
Soya didn't know why, but he decisively picked up the amulet thrown in by Kyoko and fled outside the almost colorless boundary.
Tsukuyomi immediately explained: "The divine solution is when the spirit collapses and consumes all the divine power to self-destruct. If it is affected by the divine solution, it will only end up being wiped out in ashes!"
"..."
Zonggu paused in his steps.
Consume divine power?
"Are you kidding..."
Breaking free of Asaguri Suzu's hand, he turned around and returned to the boundary, picked up the bamboo knife, and ran towards Zhilei who was in the process of understanding.
"Your divine power..."
Zhilei's body was disintegrating, as fragile as paper ashes that had lost its shape after being burned. Souya cut off his waist with a single blow of his sword.
"be mine!"
Zhilei's body was split into two, with the upper and lower parts floating in the air respectively.
Tsukuyomi didn't run away when he saw this, and shouted outside: "Quick! Break his spirit, and you can also prevent the divine solution!"
"Where are the gods!"
"I don't know! It could be hidden anywhere in the body!"
"..."
Zonggu gritted his teeth, and the falling sword smashed half of Zhilei's head into pieces. When he lifted it up, he also beat the other half into ashes, but found nothing.
"cut!"
Another sword cut his remaining body in two, and a translucent humanoid shape only the size of a palm suddenly flew out from it, with the face exactly the same as that of Zhilei.
"God!"
Soya abandoned his sword and grabbed hold of the struggling Zilei.
The translucent body, which was like an ice sculpture, also stuck to his palm like a newly acquired ice cube, with a vague adsorption force;
The luminous threads are all over the body of the spirit, and they are constantly converging towards the dazzling point in the center.
"This is divine power..."
The infant thunder god, who had collapsed to the size of a palm, lost his madness and looked at Zong Gu expressionlessly;
He returned his gaze, raised his other hand, and held the upper body of the god.
