Urokodaki was talking about the time when he refused to accept Tanjiro as his apprentice, and Horitake had no choice but to fight with Urokodaki.

Thinking of that incident, Horitake smiled slightly:

""Master Urokodaki, just don't blame me for being rude back then."

Looking at Horitake, Urokodaki thought about what happened back then.

Back then, in order for Horitake to accept Tanjiro as his apprentice, they agreed to decide the outcome with one move.

At that time, Urokodaki underestimated Horitake and didn't use his full strength. As a result, he was caught off guard by Horitake's 108 Thunderbolt Flashes and was slightly inferior.

At that time, Urokodaki could still see Horitake's strength, but now, Urokodaki can't see Horitake's depth at all!

In just half a year, has he grown to this point?

Urokodaki couldn't help but ask Horitake:

"Horitake boy, your current strength……"

"Oh, me? I only need one more Lower Moon of the Twelve Demon Moons to become a pillar.

But it is not easy to meet Lower Moon of the Twelve Demon Moons!

I have met Lower Moon 2 before, but it was the Lower Moon 2 of my predecessor, whose strength was average and could not be counted at all.

I have no choice but to try my best to kill ordinary demons and gather fifty of them first!"

There was a strong self-confidence in Horitake's words, and this self-confidence and the bearing of a strong man made Urokodaki secretly shocked:

"Really? It has grown to this extent.……"

Urokodaki no longer dwelled on this matter, and watched from a distance as Tanjiro was about to disappear from his sight. He pulled out a few throwing knives from his back and was about to chase him.

Horitake was surprised to see this:

"No... Master Urokutaki, your flying knife is also……"

"This is also one of Tanjiro's tests. When Tanjiro is forced to the extreme by the trap, I will shoot the flying knife and force Tanjiro again!"

"Isn't this... a bit too much?"

"No, I know very well where Tanjiro's limit is.

Only by pushing Tanjiro to the limit can he unleash greater potential.

This child is working very hard for his sister.

The road they have to take is bound to be full of ups and downs. If they want to go on, they must have sufficient strength!"

After saying that, Urokodaki took a flying knife in one hand and quietly chased Tanjiro.

Horitake looked at Urokodaki's departing back, and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his head.

He had a hunch that Tanjiro would be tortured badly today.

Jumping down from the tree and turning on his spiritual vision, Horitake asked:

"Have you been trained like this by Master Urokodaki before?"

The somewhat illusory figures of Santo and Makomo appeared beside Horitake.

Santo scratched his head, as if he couldn't bear to look back, and replied:

"Indeed...we have all experienced this kind of training from Master Urokodaki."

Shinkomo pouted, indignant:

"Yes! Every trap training is very dangerous, and I almost died. Teacher Urokodaki is really something!"

Santo said helplessly to Makomo:

"But it is precisely because of such harsh training that Tanjiro's strength will become stronger and stronger."

"That's right."

Facing Santo and Makomo, Horitake bowed slightly:

"I haven't thanked you yet, thank you for helping me take care of Tanjiro"

"No, no, it's us who are thanking you."

Santo and Shinkomo bowed to Horitake and said:

"Thank you for killing the demon and fulfilling the wishes of us and Master Urokodaki's children."

"Oh, you are talking about the ghost in Fujikiyama, I didn't let him go when I saw him, I killed him, it's just a piece of cake, don't worry about it.

By the way, Tanjiro is fine, how is Nezuko now?"

Speaking of this question, Santo and Makomo hesitated:

"This...Nezuko should be fine, right, Sane?"

"Well... Actually, for some reason, ever since arriving at Kyogiri Mountain, Nezuko has been in a deep sleep and can't wake up no matter what.

Master Urokodaki has also consulted a doctor, but the doctor couldn't find anything.

But there is indeed nothing wrong with Nezuko's body."

Makomo added a few more words:

"Although he didn't eat people or go crazy, Nezuko is a demon after all, and we don't know why he has been sleeping all the time."

Hori Gaku nodded as he listened:

"I see."

Fortunately, Hori Gaku had read the original work and knew what was going on.

Nezuko needs to sleep for two years, and will not wake up until Tanjiro passes the final selection.

During these two years, Nezuko has been transforming her body through sleep, allowing herself to recover her strength through sleep instead of eating people.

This is a good thing, no need to worry.

After a short chat with Santo and Makomo for a while, Hori Gaku followed in Urokodaki's footsteps and went down the mountain. He also wanted to see how Urokodaki trained Tanjiro, and he definitely had no intention of gloating.

At this moment, Tanjiro was about to reach the finish line despite all kinds of traps!

When Hori Gaku arrived, Tanjiro was breaking through the last trap.

This made Hori Gaku sigh that when Urokodaki tested Tanjiro, it took Tanjiro a long time to get through the most basic traps, and now... Tanjiro has made great progress.

But... although he has made progress, he is still in a mess.

Tanjiro is now dirty and torn, and he is trying hard to break through the last trap.

Of course, he is occasionally disturbed by Urakaki's flying knives.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Three flying knives shot at Tanjiro's forehead!

Hearing the sound of the flying knives breaking through the air, Tanjiro's hair stood up. While dodging sideways, he quickly waved the samurai sword in his hand to block and push it away!

However, just as Tanjiro dodged, Tanjiro stepped on a rope and triggered another trap!

Boom! A large wooden stake fell from the sky and hit Tanjiro!

Tanjiro screamed and dodged quickly, narrowly avoiding the stake.

Just when he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, three bow sounds sounded, and three feather arrows from nowhere shot at Tanjiro at high speed!

""Eh! ? Chain traps! ?"

Tanjiro bent down in panic, and three arrows were nailed to the wooden stakes!

However, the chain traps were not over yet. Several bamboos came from nowhere and swept towards Tanjiro.

Tanjiro rolled and jumped on the ground, and tried his best to avoid the first four bamboos.

Unfortunately, he didn't avoid the last bamboo, and it hit Tanjiro's butt hard!

Then, Tanjiro screamed and was swept away by the bamboo!

On the side, Horitake on the tree watched this scene. He wanted to laugh, but felt that it was too unkind to laugh, so he could only hold back his laughter, which was very difficult.

Tanjiro screamed and was swept away. When he fell, he did not fall to the ground, but fell into a large pit that was eight or nine meters wide and three or four meters deep. Bang into the pit, Tanjiro's eyes were full of stars, and he slowly climbed up, looking at the surrounding environment in a daze, puzzled:

"Where...is this? Have I fallen into another trap?"

"It seems like... a deep pit, a very big pit!"

"Hmm? What is that black thing in front? It seems... Nani! It's a bear!"

Tanjiro was shocked and retreated quickly, his back pressed tightly against the soil behind him, looking left and right to check the situation.

It was a deep pit for sure! And the pit wall was vertical at 90 degrees and about three or four meters high. It was impossible to climb up!

The question is... How could there be a bear in this pit!? Did this bear fall down accidentally!?

Above the pit, Urokodaki's words answered Tanjiro's doubts:

"Tanjiro! I caught this bear in advance and threw it down there, and it has been hungry for at least five days!

This morning, your last trap training is to defeat this bear!

Whether we eat the bear for lunch today, or the bear eats you today, it depends on your ability!"
