Not a detective

Page 91

The outcome of this round is still uncertain.

"Keep going!"

A wild smile spread across Asakawa Riku's face. He felt a long-lost sense of battle exhilaration, his fear completely overshadowed, and he burst forward with astonishing speed.

His movements were so fast they were almost a blur, and his aura seemed to have undergone a further transformation. How long had it been? How long had it been since he'd been allowed to fight with all his might?!

At the moment of close approach, he stood up and kicked, then flipped over and kicked twice, moving at lightning speed like a spinning top. After a terrifying 540-degree spin, he delivered another spinning kick!

This time it's... a triple kick!

No one could have imagined that such a small body could contain such terrifying impact force.

This forced the massive Ibuki Ren to release her defensive grip and retreat repeatedly.

Without pausing, Asakawa Riku threw a right hook to the jaw, relentlessly attacking the head!

Ren Ibuki was shocked. He knew he couldn't be pinned down again, so he retaliated with an uppercut, but Riku Asakawa dodged it and continued to deliver straight punches to his ribs!

Although the skin on the abdomen is tough, it can still penetrate with subtle force to attack the internal organs, making it an effective striking point!

Uppercut... then the next one is a downward slam. Asakawa Riku perfectly anticipated it and rolled forward to dodge.

With a loud crash, the demon's hand smashed the floor beneath it, creating a terrifying hole.

His ability to anticipate events is already highly refined.

Before Ibuki Ren could even turn around, Asakawa Riku delivered a cross-shaped punch from the side.

This time it's... the liver!

The sudden increase in speed caused Ibuki Ren to become unprepared; his spinning whip punch was dodged, and another straight punch was forced to miss.

It seems like you can never catch that ghostly figure; you're always just a little bit away... just a little bit away!

While Asakawa Riku's strength is inferior, Ibuki Ren's speed is even greater!

Change steps and dive down, then strike the abdomen from the side.

The second hand then transforms into a hook punch, striking the head.

"Don't run away, come on, have you ever played Street Fighter?"

Ibuki Ren's repeated retreats were caught up by Asakawa Riku, who even delivered a beautiful rising dragon punch, striking him in the chin: "Thick chin!"

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without a moment's pause, and the strikes were all aimed at vital points.

He punched the opponent in the abdomen with his right fist, followed by a front kick, closing in step by step, culminating in a final flying kick.

His knee slammed into Ibuki Ren's face, slamming her against the wall with a heavy blow.

The ability to perfectly combine the ferocity of combat with the elegance of movement is something only Riku Asakawa can achieve; it's a unique style of boxing and kicking that belongs only to him.

The tide of battle is gradually turning!

Winter of the Demons: Let's end Chapter 42.

"Uh!"

Enraged by the continuous suppression, Ibuki Ren gritted his teeth and unleashed terrifying power, grabbing Asakawa Riku and throwing him away.

His face was covered in bruises, and bright red blood stained his purple skin. His abdominal wound was particularly severe; although it wasn't visible on the outside, his internal organs must have been seriously damaged.

But after landing lightly, Asakawa Riku instantly dissipated his kinetic energy and suddenly accelerated forward by pushing off the ground. In that instant, his eyes seemed like those of a terrifying messenger of death.

"Request for a halftime break? Rejected."

He slashed left and right, leaping repeatedly to dodge Ibuki Ren's two defensive straight punches, and once again closed the distance to grapple.

The same straight punch started, but the next move was to raise the right leg and deliver a scorpion kick to the opponent's chin.

"You...! How is this possible!"

The demon showed fear for the first time, and he no longer had the strength to utter any sarcastic words.

Asakawa Riku's agile movements made it impossible for Ibuki Ren to anticipate and make any defensive moves.

If you've ever seen Asakawa Riku fight alone with a walking mannequin in the schoolyard at night, you'll understand.

This bizarre and illogical body twisting is the "pictographic boxing" he learned from the ghost puppets!

"—Fall down!!"

Riku Asakawa seized the opportunity, grabbed Ren Ibuki's arm, and executed a terrifying over-the-shoulder throw, pulling her up, flipping her over, and slamming her heavily to the ground!

The entire Dragon Palace complex emitted a terrifying scream as it was about to collapse...

It swayed precariously as rocks began to fall from above; it seemed it wouldn't last much longer.

The terrifying battle between these two was almost as devastating as an earthquake.

Looking at the evil spirit lying on the ground, its body broken and its eyes blank, with only the whites showing, I saw it lying there.

This guy's terrifying size is estimated to be over 1000 pounds, much heavier than the world's heaviest sumo wrestler. I never imagined that someone could pull him up and perform an over-the-shoulder throw.

Nevertheless, Riku Asakawa felt exhausted from the continuous attacks and almost lost his footing.

“…Phew.” He composed himself and slowly approached the unconscious Ibuki Ren.

It wasn't over yet, Asakawa Riku knew perfectly well, because with the [Divine Poison] drug, the opponent would continuously regenerate as long as they weren't dead.

This is his last chance. Even he doesn't have the strength for another ten minutes of fighting...

Asakawa Riku changed his grappling technique this time. He sat down and wrapped his legs securely around Ibuki Ren's neck, using a tibial choke.

Due to the difference in body size, a standard rear naked choke may not be able to secure the opponent's body well. Using the strongest thigh is the best option.

At that moment, with a sudden thrust of the hips, the opponent's neck and trachea were compressed!

The demon awoke instantly, subjected to a violent shock and suffocation... his eyes almost burst out of their sockets.

"Let me go!"

Ren Ibuki held her breath, struggled to stand up again, and then leaned backward.

This was a repeat of the old trick, using a smashing and throwing method to slam Asakawa Riku, who was clinging to her, to the ground.

But this time... Asakawa Riku did not let go.

"Well!"

Even though his head was smashed hard and bleeding, he did not loosen his grip on his feet, but kept them firmly in the lock.

This time, Asakawa Riku was fully prepared, both in terms of grappling techniques and in terms of determination.

"release……!"

Ibuki Ren's voice grew weaker and weaker, almost as if it were being forced out of her throat.

Asakawa Riku was repeatedly pressed to the ground by this terrifying weight, as if he were being smashed down by a heavy iron hammer, enduring a force no less than that of an over-the-shoulder throw.

The two continued to repeat the action, with Ibuki Ren standing up and falling down again and again, causing Asakawa Riku to get injured repeatedly, but Ibuki Ren was also about to give up.

This is already a desperate effort.

But just then... Asakawa Riku finally seized the opportunity for victory.

He silently endured the impact, and in the instant the slamming against his back subsided, he surprisingly released his hands, his back bending in an unbelievable way...

Despite being injured, she was still able to do this. Before Ibuki Ren could react, she had grabbed the demon's horns with both hands.

work hard!

"Ugh...!" Ibuki Ren's eyes widened. He didn't know what the other person was going to do, and he only felt his head being bent backward.

—Trying to break my spine? Too bad, you can't!

But Asakawa Riku didn't do that. Instead, he went a step further down and grabbed Ibuki Ren's lips, chin, then her upper teeth and lower teeth.

Pry open her mouth!

Intense pain shot through me; my face felt like it was being torn apart. I tried to bite down, but I couldn't.

"Ughhhhhh!" the demon roared incoherently.

Asakawa Riku went a step further, grabbing the demon's sharp teeth from its gaping maw, gripping them tightly from top to bottom, and tearing at its mouth with all his might.

This was the intention behind deliberately leaving his hands free... The veins and blood vessels on his arms were clearly visible, and he was trembling as he used all his strength to persevere.

He roared, "—Chizuko!!"

"coming!"

Without needing to say a single word, Chizuko understood his intention in an instant.

She immediately pulled the test tube out of her bag; the purple liquid inside was also the [Divine Poison] potion.

However, this is the initial version, and its function is to be highly poisonous.

Chizuko instructed Okiku beside her to hand her the medicine and poison Ibuki Ren.

But as soon as I handed over the test tube, it slipped from my hand and fell to the ground!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Shinonome Suetsuki stretched out her long leg and stopped the test tube with the back of her foot, almost ruining the important poison.

"What's wrong?" she asked, carefully holding the test tube in her hand.

"...My shikigami are all in fear."

Chizuko's expression was grim. Kiku's state was incredibly ethereal at this moment, almost disappearing. Although she was a massive ghost, she was trembling incessantly in a corner.

Just as they feared Asakawa-kun, Ibuki Ren at this moment was the reincarnation of Shuten-dōji. This pure suppression made the yokai even more afraid.

The terrifying battle between these two had rendered all of Chizuko's shikigami useless... completely ineffective.

"Then let me go."

Mo Yue gripped the test tube tightly, smiling as she said, "It seems nice to be able to help at a crucial moment: This should be the time for the detective to make his appearance."

“It’s dangerous there…” Chizuko emphasized, “If you get caught in the blast wave, you absolutely won’t be able to withstand it!”

"It's alright, it's alright, how could a detective die?"

Mo Yue showed no intention of turning back, walking over step by step and casually waving her hand.

Seeing this, Chizuko could only grit her teeth in resentment. If she could, she would definitely want to go herself, but now the mountain boy had also stopped working and only had his useful left leg left.

"Damn it!"

She had never regretted her disability so much.

But everything went unexpectedly smoothly, as if she had the ability to avoid misfortune and attract good fortune. Or rather, this was the detective's superpower.

Without encountering any obstacles, Shinonome Suetsuki traversed the ruins of rubble and stones to reach the center of the battlefield, a place in complete disarray.

There, Asakawa Riku was still desperately gripping the demon's teeth, tearing its mouth in half...

"Let's finish it."

Mo Yue opened the test tube and poured all the poison inside.

Winter of Demons: Chapter 43 The King of Demons

After a period of continuous convulsions, Ibuki Ren's enormous body finally collapsed.

He foamed at the mouth, blood mixed in, his eyes completely lost their luster, and he smashed a large crater in the ground.

The effects of the [Divine Poison] were unexpectedly potent, killing the inhabitants in just two minutes. No wonder it kept Asakawa Riku unconscious for so long.

Ibuki Ren, having not experienced the process of developing drug resistance, naturally could not withstand such a terrible effect.

The positive and negative versions of 【神便鬼毒】 canceled each other out, instantly suppressing his amplifying effects. The evil spirit retreated and he became an ordinary mortal.

Then, he could be easily strangled by Asakawa Riku, just like Shuten-dōji in the legend, who died from poisoned wine.

...He probably never imagined he'd die because of his own invention. How tragic.

Asakawa Riku continued to exert his strength, even when he fell to the ground, he used his legs to lock the other person's neck tightly, gripped his teeth with his legs, and roared as he persisted.

His back was covered in bloodstains, probably the most serious part of his injury, which had been repeatedly pressed to the ground, rubbed, and struck, leaving it a bloody mess.

Even so, this man exudes a terrifying aura. Having personally killed a ghost, he is now more terrifying than the ghost itself.

If a normal person saw him like this, they would probably be too scared to approach him, because he could probably strangle someone with just a slight movement of his hand.
