Fighting with fire shadow

When Ximen Cheng saw my wife Zenitsu following him, he didn't chase him away. Anyway, he had no intention of finding a strong teammate to form a team with.

In Ximen Cheng's eyes, those cannibals were equivalent to bounties and treasures, and he was worried that someone would compete with him for his head!

Zenitsu Zenitsu is usually a coward, and only shows his true strength when he is in a coma.

Therefore, Ximen Cheng doesn't have to worry about him stealing people's heads. He can just treat him as a mascot. And when he is on the road, he will not be so boring if he has someone to talk to him.

After driving for a long time, my wife Zenitsu finally couldn't stand her growling stomach and asked cautiously: "Tanjiro, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

"Give!"

Ximen Cheng glanced at my wife Zenitsu, saw his pitiful look, took out a rice ball and handed it to him.

"Thank you, Tanjiro~"

My wife, Zenitsu, took the rice ball with a face full of emotion, opened her mouth and took a big bite. Feeling the sense of fulfillment brought by the rice ball, she couldn't help showing a happy expression.

Just as my wife Zenitsu was about to eat the remaining rice balls, he suddenly noticed that Ximen Makoto seemed to have not eaten, and asked curiously: "Tanjiro, aren't you hungry?"

"The rice ball you are eating is actually the last rice ball in my hand."

Ximen Cheng sighed first. When he saw my wife Zenitsu's guilty and moved expression, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "But I still have this!"

Ximen Cheng reached into his arms, took out a roast duck wrapped in oil paper, and ate it with relish.

“ヽ(｀Д′)?︵┻━┻┻━┻”

When my wife, Zenitsu, saw this scene, the rice ball in her hand suddenly lost its flavor, and she even had the urge to flip the table.

However, with my wife's kind-hearted character, she didn't dare to really get angry with Ximen Cheng, so she could only eat the rice ball in her hand while smelling the aroma of roast duck.

"Forget it, I'll give you a duck leg!"

Ximen Cheng looked at my wife Zenitsu's air of being a doormat, tore off a shiny duck leg and handed it to him.

"Tanjiro~~"

My wife, Zenitsu, stared at the duck legs for a while, and finally couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with emotion on her face: "I knew you were a good person!"

Ximen Cheng shook his head in amusement, and followed the crow's guidance and hurried forward.

When Ximen Cheng arrived at the forest guided by the crow, the sky had darkened, and there was an unsettling atmosphere in the silent forest.

"Tanjiro, why do I feel that this place is dangerous? Is there a ghost here?"

My wife, Shanyi, followed Ximen Cheng closely, like a frightened bird, looking around with vigilance, fearing that a man-eating ghost might suddenly appear.

"(￣ー￣)"

Ximen Cheng looked at my wife Zenitsu's cowardly look, and twitched his lips slightly: "Can you be a bit promising? We are from the Demon Slayer Squad! If there are no cannibals here, why are we here?"

My wife, Zenitsu, shuddered all over and said seriously: "Tanjiro, to tell you the truth, I am actually very weak. Even if I encounter a ghost, I will definitely be eaten. Please be patient later." protect me."

"You guy...be careful!"

When Ximen Cheng heard this, he was about to complain about my wife Zenitsu, but suddenly his expression changed drastically and he kicked my wife Zenitsu away.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Before my wife, Zenitsu, had time to react, two huge double-edged axes flew out from the depths of the forest, directly splitting Ximen Cheng, who was unable to dodge, into three pieces.

"Tan...Tanjiro...is dead..."

When my wife Zenitsu saw the bloody scene of Ximen Cheng being split into three pieces, her eyes rolled in fear and she fainted.

"Hehe~ I was originally just going to kill that good-for-nothing Hibiki, but I didn't expect to encounter the ghost hunter first. He's really too weak."

A harsh bad laugh came from the depths of the forest, and a man with cyan lines on his face and the word "Xialu" engraved in his eyes slowly walked out of the darkness.

This man with cyan lines on his face is one of the current Twelve Ghost Moons, ranking in the lower realm.

The so-called Twelve Ghost Moons are the twelve strongest cannibals under the command of Onimushuji Muzan, and they are divided into upper and lower strings.

Among them, the ghosts on the upper string are very powerful. They are basically old ghosts who have lived for hundreds of years, and have even killed many "pillars" of the demon slaying team.

Although the strength of the lower string ghost is not as strong as that of the upper string ghost, it is far superior to ordinary cannibal ghosts.

Therefore, ordinary cannibals are proud to become the Twelve Ghosts. Only by becoming the Twelve Ghosts can they gain the respect of Muzan Kibutsuji, obtain the blood rewarded by him, and become more powerful.

The name of the blue-striped ghost is Ax Nue. He is the current "Xiaxian Zhilu", and his purpose of coming to this forest this time is to kill the previous "Xiaxian Zhilu".

Compared with the First Quarter Ghost Moon, which has not changed in the past century, the Last Quarter Ghost Moon is much more competitive.

There have been several batches of waning ghost moons in the past hundred years. Some waning ghost moons were killed by ghost hunters, and some died in the hands of competitors.

The previous "Shitatsu no Riku" was named Hibiki, but his situation was quite special. He was not killed by a ghost hunter, nor did he die in the hands of other cannibals. Instead, he was deemed too powerful by Onimusuji Muzan. Weak, forcibly kicked out of Twelve Ghost Moon's queue.

According to the news received by Ax Nue, since Xiangkai was kicked out of the title of "Xiaxian Land", this guy has not given up on himself. On the contrary, he is still trying to become stronger and wants to regain the title of "Xiaxian Land" .

If Xiangkai really wants to regain the title of "Xiaxian Land", then Fu Nue, the current "Xiaxian Land", will inevitably become his first target of revenge.

Instead of waiting for Hiokai to come back and challenge him later, Fu Nue thought it would be better to strike first and kill him first, so he rushed to the forest where Hiokai was.

But what Ax Nue didn't expect was that before he could find Xiangkai, he would encounter two ghost hunters first.

Compared to Hiankai, a loser, Ax Nue hated ghost hunters even more, and launched an attack on Ximen Cheng and the others without thinking.

"what?"

Just when Axe Nue was about to summon the two double-edged axes, he suddenly discovered that Ximen Cheng's body had turned into a leaf. His expression suddenly changed, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

Before I could find any trace of Ximen Cheng, my wife Zenitsu, who should have fainted from fright, suddenly jumped up, closed her eyes and murmured to herself: "It's unforgivable, you actually killed Tanjiro, it's unforgivable... "
