Reborn as Platycodon, an infinite journey begins from Demon Slayer

"Then, the final selection begins now, I wish you all good luck!"

"Lord Kikyo, I will definitely pass the selection!"

Tanjiro clenched the talisman in his hand and put it in his arms with great care. Then he was the first to take steps and successfully entered under the gaze of everyone. The other boys and girls looked at each other and also entered one after another. .

"Oh! It's started, Tanjiro, come on!"

"Don't worry, sister Kikyo, brother will definitely pass!"

Nezuko on the top of the mountain in the distance glanced at the ghost in the mountain and said.

"Don't compare yourself to who you are now."

Now Nezuko, after continuously giving blood to ghosts during this period of time, her strength can compete with the lower six strings of Twelve Xuanyue, but it is not comparable to those low-grade ghosts.

In the Vine Attack Mountain, there is a selection held every few years, and the ghosts locked inside are the most excited. The ghosts who have not eaten humans for a long time, after smelling the fragrance emitted by humans, all lose their minds and rush towards the candidates crazily.

"Go away, this is mine, I want to eat this!"

"No, get out of here, that's my prey!"

Not long after entering, Tanjiro encountered two ugly ghosts, rushing towards them.

"Human flesh, delicious human flesh!"

"I want to eat it from the head on up!!"

Undaunted, Tanjiro tightened his grip on the handle of the knife and took a deep breath.

"Full Concentration·Breath of Water!"

"Type of Si·Strike Tide!"

Tsk! !

The two slashes easily cut off the heads of the two ghosts. Tanjiro sheathed his sword and looked at the ghosts that gradually turned into white dots and disintegrated, and was stunned for a moment.

He shook his head, clasped his hands together, and prayed for them to become Buddhas.

Tanjiro turned around and continued to move deeper into the mountain. Along the way, he killed several more ghosts, all of which disintegrated into countless small white dots just like before.

"Strange? Why do ghosts turn into white spots after they die?"

"And they are obviously ghosts, why don't they have a disgusting smell on them?"

Tanjiro was puzzled. These two ghosts were a little different from what he had encountered before. There was no rancid smell.

"Ughhhhhhhh!!"

"Help...Help!!"

Just when Tanjiro was still thinking, a frightened scream came, and he hurried over.

Soon, Tanjiro saw a ghost as big as a hill and extremely ugly not far ahead. His body was covered with strange-shaped arms wrapped around his body. One hand was pinching a young boy, and he was holding on hard. As soon as he grasped it, the young man died immediately, while the other young man ran away in terror while shouting for help.

Teuki, forty-seven years ago, was captured by Rinataaki Sakon during the Edo period and imprisoned in Fujirai Mountain.

"shave!"

Tanjiro disappeared from the spot, and his body appeared in front of the hand ghost like an afterimage, holding the handle of the knife tightly.

When the hand ghost saw someone stopping him from enjoying the food, his pupils suddenly flashed red, and the remaining nine hands of his body quickly grabbed Tanjiro.

"Water Breathing!"

The sword in Tanjiro's hand is also extremely fast.

"Shape of Si, Strike Tide, Chaos!"

The same nine-stage slash struck at the nine captured hands.

Bah!

Tanjiro quickly backed up and fell against a tree. He stood up, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and looked at the hand ghost.

Six of Hand Ghost's hands were cut off, and three of his hands suffered severe stab wounds, but there was still a hand in the middle of his abdomen, and it was this hand that knocked him away.

"Who said I only have these hands?"

The hand ghost's severed hand gradually recovered, and then he looked at the injured Tanjiro's fox mask and let out a sinister laugh, "Here comes another cute little fox!"

"Twelve...Thirteen...You are the fourteenth."

"what?"

"I'm counting the apprentices I've swallowed. Two of them are the most profound, the kid with pink hair and scars around his mouth, and the other is a little girl wearing patterned clothes..."

"What are you talking about? Senior Brother Qiantu and Senior Sister Zhenji are both still alive!"

"And the other eleven brothers and sisters all follow the teacher in training the members of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

Tanjiro looked at the hand ghost who was still talking to himself with a puzzled look on his face. Could it be that he had been locked up for too long and had gone insane?

"How is it possible? I did indeed eat fifty imps, including thirteen disciples of Linlong!!"

"By the way, I am... Huh? It's strange, why is my memory blurry when I think about it? Why?!"

The hand ghost suddenly fell into chaos.

"good chance!"

Tanjiro saw the right moment, and the blade in his hand suddenly burst into blazing flames, and he slashed out with his backhand.

"Kagura, the God of Fire, Round Dance!"

An arc-shaped crimson slash flashed past the hand ghost's neck. As the crimson flames disappeared, the hand ghost's head also fell to the ground. Like the ghosts that had been eliminated before, the body and head disintegrated into white dots and disappeared. .

"Phew, finally defeated!"

Tanjiro was very satisfied with the power of the newly controlled Vulcan Kagura, and slowly sheathed his sword.

He looked suspiciously at the boy whose neck was broken by the hand ghost, but found that the body had disappeared, and the boy he rescued had already escaped during the fierce battle between him and the hand ghost. He shook his head and turned around to continue going deeper. OK.

But Tanjiro, including everyone who came to participate in the selection, did not know that at the top of the mountain, dozens of powerful ghosts were gathering together. In front of them was a scene, which was the boys and girls participating in the selection. .

"This red-haired kid is very good!"

"I think the girl with pink and purple eyes is very nice, calm and has good strength, and she should be using Flower Breath!"

"The guy wearing the pig head mask is very compatible with me!"

"The boy with yellow hair is also good, although he is very timid..."

"Isn't there anyone who chose the boy with the crested head?"

"..."

"He eats ghosts to become stronger. Do you want him to eat you?"

"...Forget it then."

......

The seven-day trial finally came to an end as the sky gradually became brighter.

When Tanjiro walked out of the barrier, there were only a few people present who did not come back, and no one died. Except for the five people including Tanjiro, everyone else showed expressions of disbelief.

"I...I'm not dead!?"

"How...how is it possible? I was obviously eaten by a ghost!"

"Me too, the pain of being torn apart is still vivid in my mind!"

Two loli-looking children with black and white hair walked slowly over.

"Welcome everyone back safely!"

Ubuyashiki Teriya looked at Tanjiro and the other five, and said slowly, "Congratulations to the five of you for passing the final selection."

"As for the rest, they all failed the assessment."

Ubuyashiki Kanata looked at the boys and girls on the other side. They stood quietly aside, their faces full of loss, trembling and decadence.
