Chapter 100: Chapter 78: Nagoul’s Little Demon, Captured! (Please follow)

"Wooo! Wooo! Wooo~~"

Having lost his longstanding human friend, Nagoul’s little demon howled in grief and fury, leaping directly towards Gu Pan as if to crush her with his body weight.

At this moment, the most prudent course of action was to dodge its sharp edge.

However, upon seeing Nagoul’s little demon attack, Gu Pan laughed out loud.

"Ha, a defeated general still dares to resist stubbornly? Take my sword then!"

She steadied her stance, took a large step forward, and swung her sword downward, using it like an axe in a high-to-low chop.

Snap!

The steel of the sword collided fiercely with the little demon’s fist.

Although the sword was very blunt, it instantly sliced open the skin and flesh of the fist, exposing the nauseating, honeycomb-like bones inside.

With a crack, half of the little demon’s arm was chopped off by Gu Pan.

But at the same time, another punch from the little demon, big as a water tank, also landed.

It thudded against Gu Pan’s chest like a divine drum being beaten fiercely, creating a circle of nearly visible air explosion that forcefully indented her already flat chest.

"Kuku~"

By taking damage to inflict damage, especially when gaining the upper hand, the little demon laughed triumphantly.

Its arm rapidly regenerated flesh and blood.

However, the three severed heads merely had their wounds solidify and couldn’t immediately regrow new heads.

This human dared to trade blows with damage for damage, truly reckless!

But the next second, the expression on the little demon’s chubby face froze.

Because it saw Gu Pan, who had been blown away about thirty meters like a tattered sack and had been spewing blood, suddenly sit up like a carp flipping over.

She spat out large mouthfuls of blood, but her eyes sparkled with determination, and she casually patted the indented area of her chest, recovering instantly.

It was just a punch from Nagoul’s little demon.

Such minor injuries were not life-threatening for a warrior.

Gu Pan knew clearly that her strength stemmed from Xu Shu, from a "warrior."

Therefore, while she might know many sword techniques to exploit, she couldn’t entirely fight like a "martial artist."

For such methodically structured swordsmanship, a warrior would find many areas challenging to execute properly, and professional differences couldn’t be made up for with mere technique.

Not to mention, the basic natural skill of the "martial artist" profession is called [Mastery of Body Techniques], and the breakthrough skill upon leveling up would at least include one [Mastery of Cold Weapons].

This was completely different from the explosive brute strength and tough skin of a warrior.

Gu Pan knew that if the power within her wasn’t that of a "warrior" but a "martial artist," perhaps that sword strike wouldn’t have been able to sever the robust arm of the little demon.

Yet she didn’t need to block attacks head-on; she could entirely dodge using agility and body techniques.

But the same logic couldn’t be applied with a warrior’s physique.

It wasn’t a matter of technique but the lack of sufficient agility in the direction of extraordinary power; such a close attack was unavoidable.

It’s the same principle that no matter how much a normal person trains in martial arts, they can’t dodge bullets.

This warrior’s Curse Seal hadn’t been enhanced in agility or reaction, focusing almost entirely on defense and explosive power.

He could burst with speed momentarily, but his mobility was limited; once he moved, he was like a rocket, unstoppable, unable to hit someone and then run.

In such circumstances, hesitating would only affect the true strength of the battle, potentially ruining everything.

Thus, Gu Pan had chosen a sword technique of "heedless of all consequences."

This approach matched better with the warrior’s combat style of trading blows with damage.

In a narrow encounter, a brave man wins; on the battlefield, whoever is more ferocious has more chances to survive! That is the essence of a warrior!

Clang clang clang!

In a flash of thought, Gu Pan was already fighting the little demon in close quarters.

The little demon completely abandoned defense, attacking wildly like a beast.

Gu Pan, meanwhile, swung her sword in wide, powerful arcs, each slash aimed to shear off a large piece of flesh from the demon.

In no time, the ground was covered with the stinking flesh and blood of the little demon.

Blow for blow, their fight was intense and drawn out, lasting at least a minute.

It looked like a gorilla and a lion locked in combat, both sides suffering brutally.

However, it was clear that Gu Pan had the advantage.

Unlike Xu Shu, although she couldn’t use Jingwei skills, she knew how to use weapons.

Thus, Gu Pan only received bruises, which were not a big deal given the warrior’s robust physique, and she could even mysteriously recover.

The little demon, however, suffered from cuts!

Losing some flesh was manageable, but having an arm that had just regrown chopped off again meant that recovery was becoming progressively slower.

If it were chopped off a few more times, it wouldn’t regrow.

"Wooo~" Although the little demon couldn’t speak, its intelligence wasn’t very low.

Realizing it was falling behind, it decisively gave up continuing to trade damage and swiftly extended many tendrils to bind Gu Pan.

At the same time, its stomach bulged repeatedly, as if poisonous snakes were coiling under its skin.

"Tch!"

Gu Pan narrowed her eyes, while busy slashing at the tendrils binding her, keenly noticed that the little demon’s navel had opened.

A tremendous oppressive force was accumulating, seemingly about to burst out.

"Is it going to spurt a corrupting spray that rots the guts and corrodes the flesh?"

"How disgustingly vile. Truly a despicable creature."

The words of Xu Shu flashed through Gu Pan’s mind. She dared not take any chances and struggled vigorously, retreating a couple of steps.
