Fighting with fire shadow

The reason why Ximen Makoto chose to disguise himself as Tanjiro was, on the one hand, to better blend into the Demon Slayer Squad, and on the other hand, to save Nezuko.

Now that Tanjiro is dead, Nezuko's last relative is gone. If Ximen Cheng doesn't pretend to be Tanjiro to take care of her, her end will definitely not be good.

Don't forget that Nezuko is a beautiful girl, and since she became a ghost, her IQ has obviously dropped a lot, almost like a child.

If Ximen Cheng leaves Nezuko alone, I'm afraid she will soon be targeted by some people with malicious intentions. By then, Nezuko will either suffer humiliation or kill someone in rage. Anyway, the result will definitely not be good. Great.

So Ximen Makoto simply turned into Tanjiro's appearance, so that he could use the information of the Demon Slayer Squad to hunt evil spirits while taking care of the lovable Nezuko.

Tanjiro, just go ahead with peace of mind!I'll take care of your sister.

After Ximen Cheng walked out of the alley, he did not rush to find Nezuko. Instead, he immersed himself in the [Fusion Furnace] and put the Fire Rhinoceros Sword and the broken Nichirin Sword into it with a thought.

[Discover fragments of the fusion items Fire Rhinoceros Sword and Sun Lun Dao, which cost 1000 taels, and the fusion success rate is 100%. 】

Perhaps it is because both the Fire Rhinoceros Sword and the Nichirin Sword are sword-type weapons, and their attributes tend to be strong and yang, so the compatibility between the two is extremely high, and the fusion success rate is as high as 100%.

Seeing this, Ximen Cheng didn't hesitate at all, and said silently in his heart: "Start merging!"

"Buzzing..."

With a violent vibration, the Fire Rhinoceros Sword and the Nichirin Sword began to slowly melt into liquid, and finally merged with each other, turning into a brand new long sword.

"bass!"

Ximen Cheng picked up the new fused sword, held the hilt and slowly pulled out the sword. He felt a wave of heat coming towards him, and the surrounding temperature increased several degrees.

Although the Fire Rhinoceros Sword is also red in color, its appearance still looks like a red metal sword body, and there is a fiery red magic core inlaid between the hilt and the sword body.

But when the Fire Rhinoceros Sword and the Nichirin Sword were fused, the appearance of the new sword changed a lot.

The hilt of the new sword is dark red, and feels a bit like metal, but it is not as cold as metal, but exudes a warmth.

The new sword's blade is completely red, and its appearance looks more like red crystal, exuding a blazing high temperature.

If it weren't for Ximen Cheng's very strong resistance to fire damage, he even suspected that the temperature on the new sword might burn him.

In addition, the flame rhinoceros core inlaid on the sword has also disappeared, and it feels as if it has been completely integrated with the sword.

"Since you are made from the fusion of the Fire Rhinoceros Sword and the Sun Sword, let's call you the Rhinoceros Yang Sword from now on!"

Although Ximen Cheng has not yet tested the power of this new sword, just looking at its extraordinary appearance, he can be sure that its power is far greater than before, and he nodded with satisfaction.

After Ximen Cheng put away the Xiyang Sword, he rushed to Nezuko, put the sleepy Nezuko into the wooden box, and started wandering around the streets and alleys of the city with the wooden box on his back.

"Ding ding ding..."

Just as Ximen Cheng walked into a dark alley carrying a wooden box, a crisp ringing of bells suddenly came from the darkness, and a figure slowly walked out of the darkness, blocking Ximen Cheng's way.

"Look! What did I find? A good-looking human boy who looks delicious."

Zhu Samaru, who was wearing an orange kimono and a black haori jacket, stared at Ximen Cheng with squinted eyes, looking up and down, as if hesitating which part to eat first?

"It's decided! Break your legs first, then take them home and eat slowly. Come play ball with me! Hehehaha..."

Zhu Shamaru suddenly laughed like a maniac, veins popped out in his right arm, and he hit Ximen Cheng's legs with the handball in his hand.

"boom!!!"

Facing the incoming handball, Ximen Cheng glared hard at his feet, and his body suddenly retreated several meters. The unabated handball made a big hole in the ground.

After Zhu Samaru saw Ximen Cheng dodge the handball thrown by him, instead of feeling angry at all, he said excitedly: "If you are quite flexible, then come and have fun with me!"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

After Zhu Shawan finished speaking, the veins in her arms popped out, and she waved her hands violently. Handballs appeared out of thin air in her hands, blasting towards Ximen Cheng like a storm.

"Sorry! I'm not in the mood to play with you!"

Before the excited smile on Zhu Shawan's face dissipated, a voice like the whisper of death suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Nani?!"

"Pfft!"

A dazzling red sword light instantly illuminated the night sky, passing through Zhu Samaru's neck as fast as the wind, causing her head to fly high.

"How could this happen?! I haven't used my full strength yet! I haven't become the Twelve Demon Moon yet! Is this guy... the legendary 'Pillar'?"

Feeling that death was getting closer, Zhu Shawan's face was full of unwillingness and fear, and gradually turned into fly ash, dissipating little by little in the air.

After Ximen Cheng killed Zhu Shawan instantly with one sword, he glanced at the Xiyang Sword in his hand and sighed in his heart: "It is indeed a sword fused with the Nichirin Sword. It can chop ghosts like vegetables."

The only thing that made Ximen Cheng feel regretful was that the reward given in the wanted order for traitorous ninja triggered by Zhu Shamaru was a bounty of 800 taels, not other precious treasures.

"If I remember correctly, in addition to this handball ghost, there should be an arrow-patterned ghost in this city. I hope you won't disappoint me!"

After Ximen Cheng finished speaking, he put away the Xiyang Sword and continued to wander in the alley with the wooden box on his back.

According to the plot of the anime, there should be five ghosts hiding in Asakusa, Tokyo. In addition to the ghost king Muzan Onibatsuji, there are also the handball ghost, the arrow pattern ghost, Tamashi and Yushiro.

Among them, Tamashiro and Yushiro are both good ghosts who don't eat people and even save lives and injuries. Ximen Makoto will not trouble them, so he deliberately hangs out in the alleys. In fact, he is to lure the ball ghost and the arrow pattern ghost to take the bait. .

Originally, Ximen Cheng thought that the Handball Ghost and the Arrow Pattern Ghost were a pair, but he did not expect that the two of them did not act together, which made him a little disappointed.

But Ximen Cheng is not in a hurry. Anyway, he still has a whole night to play slowly. I don’t believe that guy won’t take the bait.

"what?"

Time passed little by little, and it was late at night in the blink of an eye. Just when Ximen Cheng felt that his work tonight would be in vain, he suddenly felt an invisible force acting on himself.

"finally come!"

Although Ximen Cheng's physical strength could completely offset this pulling force, he still chose to give up resistance and let the pulling force pull him into an alley not far away.
