Fighting with fire shadow

Perhaps because she felt the kindness radiating from Ximen Cheng, Nezuko did not reject his intimate gestures, but instead showed a cute expression of enjoyment.

But what Ximen Cheng didn't know was that while he was having fun with Nezuko, Tanjiro had already fallen into a life and death crisis.

In the original plot, when Tanjiro saw Kibutsuji Mukai for the first time, he was almost ready to draw his Nichirin sword and kill him, but at that time, Kibutsuji Mukai was holding a little human girl in his arms. To prevent accidental injury to the little girl, Tanjiro restrained the urge to chop her, and also allowed Tanjiro to avoid the crisis of directly sending someone to death.

But now it's different. Because Ximen Cheng killed the Numa Demon, Tanjiro didn't spend too much time in the previous town, allowing him to arrive in Asakusa, Tokyo a little earlier.

Therefore, when Tanjiro searched for the scent and found Onibatsuji Mukai, Onibatsuji Mukai was not holding a human girl in his hands. After finding the murderer of his family, Tanjiro, who was overwhelmed with anger, did not hesitate. He waved the Nichirin Sword in his hand.

It's a pity that Tanjiro's current strength is too weak, and he can't even defeat the ghost of the last wave in the Twelve Demon Moon, let alone the ghost king Muzan Kibutsuji.

"Ding!"

"Pfft!"

Disguised as a human, Kibutsuji Mukai easily avoided Tanjiro's slashing attack, and stabbed out his right hand as fast as lightning, not only breaking the Nichirin sword in Tanjiro's hand, but also piercing his heart without mercy. .

Because Kibutsuji Mukai's attack was too fast, the pedestrians around him did not notice that Tanjiro was killed instantly. It was not until Onibatsuji Muzan turned away and Tanjiro's body fell in a pool of blood that anyone discovered the tragedy. .

After Kibutsuji Muzan casually killed Tanjiro, it was as if he had killed an insect. He muttered to himself impatiently: "What a bunch of annoying bugs. They discovered them again, and they have to change their identity as a new human being." ”

In the past hundreds of years, at least hundreds of members of the Demon Slayer Corps have died at the hands of Demon Slayer Mukai. Naturally, he will not be afraid of ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.

Originally, with Kibutsuji Muzan's character, he wouldn't even bother to kill a weakling like Tanjiro himself, but he was really shocked just now, because the Nichirin brand earrings Tanjiro was wearing were the same as those of Stepkuni. Like wearing earrings.

Enichi Tsukuni is a character with the ceiling of combat power in the world of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba".

Enichi Tsukuni was the second son of the Tsukoku clan during the Warring States Period. He was born with natural markings. He was also the creator and user of the Breath of the Sun. All major breathing schools today are derived from the Breath of the Sun.

More than 400 years ago, Enichi Tsujikuni once forced Tsuji Mukai to a desperate situation with the power of a single blow and almost killed him.

Although Kibutsuji Mumei luckily escaped from Enichi Tsukuni's sword, it left a serious psychological shadow. He hid like a mouse and only became active again after it was confirmed that Enichi Tsukuni had died. .

It is precisely because of this that when Onibatsuji Muzan noticed the earrings Tanjiro was wearing, the figure of Stepkuni Enichi subconsciously appeared in his mind, and he could only fight back with all his strength in order to protect himself.

Facing the all-out counterattack by Demon Dance Tsuji Muzan, not even Tanjiro, even the "Pillars" of the Demon Slayer Squad could stop him.

But after Onibatsuji Muzan killed Tanjiro instantly with one move, he realized that he was scaring himself.

However, just in case, Demon Dance Tsuji Muzan decided to change to a new human identity, otherwise there would inevitably be some trouble if he was targeted by those guys from the Demon Slayer Squad.

……

After Ximen Cheng finished two bowls of tonkotsu ramen in one go, he glanced at Nezuko, who was already asleep, and couldn't help frowning: "Why hasn't that guy Tanjiro come back? Is something wrong?"

Because Ximen Makoto knew that Tanjiro was the male protagonist of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", he didn't worry about his safety. After all, the protagonist's aura was no joke.

But Tanjiro has yet to return, and Ximen Cheng can't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.

Ximen Cheng thought to himself for a while, and finally summoned a shadow clone and asked him to protect the sleeping Nezuko, while he chased after Tanjiro in the direction he left.

"It's terrible. I heard that a young man in front was killed."

"No way! This is Tokyo Prefecture, and there are so many people here. Who dares to kill people here?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I just saw the police passing by."

……

As soon as Ximen Cheng walked onto the busy street, he heard some not-so-good comments and hurried towards the direction where the crowd was gathering.

"Damn it! My cornucopia is gone."

When Ximen Cheng saw Tanjiro's body, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

To be honest, Ximen Cheng wouldn't feel too sad about Tanjiro's death. After all, he and Tanjiro only met once.

It's just that Tanjiro's survival is more helpful to Ximen Makoto. Now he is actually killed by Kibutsuji Muzan, which directly makes Ximen Makoto's subsequent plans completely collapse.

Ximen Cheng secretly complained: "Fuck! The protagonist of the plot will die. Is it so outrageous?"

Originally, Ximen Cheng thought that Tanjiro would not die so easily because he was protected by the protagonist's aura. Unexpectedly, he overestimated the power of the protagonist's aura.

But if you think about it carefully, the reason why the protagonist is called the protagonist is not because he will not die, but only the winner who survives in the end is qualified to be called the protagonist.

"Forget it, now that it's like this, the next plan needs to be adjusted."

Ximen Cheng stared at Tanjiro's body not far away for a while, his mind spinning rapidly, and a very wonderful idea suddenly came to his mind.

Because Tokyo Prefecture is the capital, the police cordoned off the area shortly after the murder occurred to prevent onlookers from destroying any traces of the scene.

"What is this?"

Just as several police officers were responsible for maintaining order at the scene and preventing anyone from breaking into the cordon, a black shadow suddenly appeared under Tanjiro's body and swallowed his body and the broken Nichirin sword directly.

After Ximen Makoto used the "Numa Walking Technique" to steal Tanjiro's body, he then used the "Transformation Technique" to become Tanjiro's appearance, and then walked out of an uninhabited alley.

Although the real Tanjiro has been brutally killed by Onimu Tsujimu, as long as others can't find Tanjiro's body, at most he can only be considered missing, and Ximen Makoto can pretend to be Tanjiro.
