The White-haired Sword Master's Path to Immortality

autumn

Leaves are fluttering and birds are chirping.

Under the sea of ​​golden trees, Jiguo Yuanyi, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, stood here and slowly raised the blade in his hand.

Heavy air flow exhaled from its mouth and nose, overturning the surrounding fallen leaves.

click!

A thin sound that was so clear that only non-humans could hear it came from the joints of fallen leaves, and soon...

call!

Thin lines that were difficult to catch with the naked eye flashed through the air, and the falling leaves were evenly divided into two halves in mid-air.

It is not two halves cut vertically, but two halves cut horizontally. Like magic, the moment the leaves fall, they transform into two transparent golden leaves as thin as cicada wings.

“What a monster”

Kazuhime Ashina, who witnessed all this from the side, made this comment.

"How's the breathing method you created?" Ashina Kazuhime immediately asked.

Sheathing the sword, Ji Guoyuan turned around and answered the question.

"Sister Yiji, why? You want this unfinished skill so much. It's obvious that you have already understood the 'transparent world'"

In Tsukuni Enichi's calm heart, he could not understand why Ashina Kazuhime was so determined to pursue skills.

"Boy, not understanding is also a kind of happiness."

Kazuhime Ashina, who seemed to be in her seventies and eighties, said this, then waved her hands and her figure blinked without a trace under the sunset.

After all, the price of understanding is sometimes too heavy.

Kazuhime Ashina did not say such words.

indoor

Yuanyi's wife, who had a big belly, was bringing the prepared dishes to the table. When Yuan Jiguo came in, she couldn't help but ask.

"Is it that Master Swordsman again?"

"Um"

In response, Ji Guoyuan sat at the side of the dining table.

"Yuanyi, I'm actually curious as to why you still call the swordsman-sama your sister at such an old age. Is it too offensive?"

Hearing this, Jiguo Yuanyi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Many times, seeing is not necessarily believing." Yuanyi answered his wife's question.

Demon Slayer Headquarters

Lookout

Looking at Utsuya Shiki Kyokage, who was only about ten years old, Kazuhime Ashina was speechless for a moment and choked for a long time before she said something.

"Your family must be related to the underworld."

Smiling slightly, the child who is only in his early ten years shows that he is not mature for this age group.

"That's for sure"

"You know, the purpose of my coming."

"Yeah" nodded, Uyashiki Kyokage expressed his understanding.

"Your plan will go ahead as scheduled, and the name of the White Flame Sword Master will be buried in our generation."

However, as he said this, Ubuya Shiki Kyokage showed concern.

"If Wu Kai comes to investigate in detail..."

"Don't worry" Ashina Kazuhime said it's fine

"Because he... doesn't dare to come. The most he can do is send a kid over to check. As long as the coffin is not opened, who will know whether the bones inside are actually mine in a hundred years."

then

The sword master fell, and the Demon Slayer Corps observed a collective moment of silence.

They are familiar with this matter, after all, they have to do it every few decades.

After that, Ashina Kazuhime adjusted her body to the age of early ten years old and dyed her white hair into black hair with hair dye to hide her from others.

Being so cautious is a helpless move. Who would have thought that Ghost King Wuhan was a coward?

The ghost king is also a king.

She was mumbling words that others didn't understand, carrying a package like a piano case, and left the Demon Slayer headquarters at noon. Compared to the time when the demons were at night, leaving in broad daylight was the least likely to be spied on by the demons. .

But what Ashina Kazuhime doesn't know is that there are always many people in this world who are willing to commit adultery, and the task of spying on the Demon Slayer Squad does not have to be left to evil spirits.

........

Looking at the portrait of Ashina Kazuhime in his hand, Muzan, who was still somewhere, narrowed his eyes.

He didn't know Kazuhime Ashina's special ability, so he made a more reasonable guess under the known conditions.

The little girl in the portrait looks very similar to Kazuhime Ashina, and is most likely her daughter.

She has been paying attention to Ashina Kazuhime's actions over the years. Although she dare not approach him because of his great strength, she is almost aware of his movements.

He knew that Kazuhime Ashina lived in the mountains near Enichi Tsukuni. She would go out regularly to hunt evil spirits, and would occasionally go to the Demon Slayer Team to provide supplies. She also seemed to have accepted the child named Enichi Tsukuni as her apprentice.

He also knew that Jiguo Enichi was extremely talented and his strength had grown by leaps and bounds over the years.

Now that the Sword Master is dead, her terrifying weapon must find a successor. The two or three big cats and kittens in the Demon Slayer Squad are not enough.

On the contrary, it was her apprentice

Thinking like this, panic filled Wuhan's heart again.

Doesn't her daughter want to pass on her mother's weapons to her apprentice with terrifying talent? Wouldn't this mean that a new sword master would appear?

No, I will never allow it.

But thinking like this, Muzan also felt that something was wrong. Even if such an important weapon was to be passed on to her apprentice, it would only be given by a senior member of the Demon Slayer Corps. Why was she allowed to leave as a child with the things?

Moreover, would such a powerful swordsman who devoted himself to martial arts really find a man to marry? Also gave birth to a daughter.

The more he thought about it, the more Wuhan felt something was wrong.

But suddenly she thought about it, she hadn't been out and about for so many years, and even the demons under her were restrained by her. Most of them thought that she was still recovering from her injuries, so they must not dare to pry into the Demon Slayer Squad.

It was actually a ploy to let a child leave with a weapon, and it was still unclear whether Nakaguika was actually Kazuhime Ashina's daughter. (ps: The current headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps is in a human town)

The Demon Slayers had already guessed that they would come to inquire for information, but they didn't expect that they could use humans to block the door of the Demon Slayers and pry wantonly.

For such an important thing as the sword master's weapon, ordinary people would think that they would keep it in the base camp and wait for a new successor to appear.

But they don’t know that I have great hands and eyes, and I have already had a clue about Ashina Yiji’s movements. Now, it’s a big plan to let a harmless little girl leave with a weapon.

I'm so smart, I could easily see through what the Demon Slayer Corps was thinking.

Regarding his own intelligence, Wu Kai affirmed himself without hesitation.

After asking his subordinates to secretly inquire about Ashina Kazuhime's departure and discovering that her destination was the residence of Enichi Tsugumi, Muzan became more sure of his guess.

That weapon is the only thing that can threaten you

As long as he snatches it away and kills his disciples, there will no longer be anyone in this world who can threaten him.

So the cowardly Ghost King suddenly had a bold idea
