Love Warriors Cong Liangji

He is an avenger who bears a blood feud, but what drives him to act is not hatred, but love for his relatives.

Although the world is not gentle to him, he still treats the world with tenderness.

For those who have helped him in the past two years, he has the greatest kindness and gratitude in his heart, which is why he is so angry now.

Because, this evil ghost covered in hands in front of him gave his benefactor to——

"hateful!"

Recalling the teacher's teachings, Tanjiro forced himself to calm down, gripped the handle of the knife again and looked at the enemy, but his heart was still shaken.

"Those two people... Sato and the others..."

Tanjiro thought that the two boys and girls who had helped him on the road of practice were orphans who lived nearby and were also adopted by the teacher—in fact, they were indeed so, but they concealed another important truth.

They are long dead.

Long before Tanjiro worshiped under his predecessor Mizuzuka, they had already entered the school and participated in the final selection...then they were killed and swallowed by this hand ghost.

But what Tanjiro encountered was actually just the remaining thoughts.

Knowing the truth, Tanjiro naturally felt uncontrollable anger and... killing intent towards the hand ghost in front of him!

On the contrary, Hand Ghost is full of joy and joy.

He was defeated by his predecessor, Shui Zhu, and imprisoned in this mountain before. At that time, he was very weak, just a miscellaneous fish ghost who swallowed two or three people, but he showed extraordinary patience in this deep mountain, With a little bit of luck, he lived from the end of the Edo period to the Taisho period.

Every time he was selected for the final selection, he would secretly kill a few participants, but he would never cause the annihilation of the entire army to attract the attention of the outside world, so he has been lurking down and devoured more than fifty people!

During this period, in order to retaliate against the former Shuizhu who locked him in, he deliberately targeted the disciples of Shuizhu's sect, and so far there were more than ten of them.Because he hid it very well, even Shui Zhu thought that the children were unlucky when he was sad, but he blamed himself very much, and gradually he was unwilling to teach his disciples anymore.

Today, Hand Oni met another disciple of Suijumen, who was also the youngest one, and Tanjiro also met an enemy who could be called fate.

"Such a big body... How many people have you eaten?!" Tanjiro shouted while suppressing his anger.

"53? 54? 58? I can't remember clearly."

The whole body is surrounded by arms transformed by vampirism, even the neck is the same. The hand ghost with almost two eyes exposed laughed in a pleasant voice.

"Anyway, you can't remember the number of rice balls you have eaten."

"asshole!"

Not enough, this guy wasn't angry enough - the hand ghost narrowed his eyes.

He was able to lurk in the "New Village" for so long without being discovered. In addition to blood ghosts and luck, his cautious style is also a big reason.

Seemingly catching human beings without fear, in fact, he will not let anyone who has seen him go, and will not let the survivors pass on the news. When dealing with good swordsmen, he will also distance himself. Use your own vampirism to consume the opponent and protect your own weaknesses.

The disciples of the former Shuizhu were all very strong, especially the little devil with flesh-colored hair (锖兔), who almost defeated him at that time, but in the end he was lucky enough to survive.

I have strong luck—Hand Ghost firmly believes in this!

Although the kid in front of him is equally strong, Hand Oni doesn't think he can maintain his sanity, and as long as Tanjiro rushes forward recklessly, he can easily deal with it, just like he did before.

But it's not enough, this level of provocation is not enough now, Tanjiro is far calmer and stronger than his peers, so some "stuff" must be added.

"Ah, but although I can't remember how many people I ate, I do know how many disciples Rinaki (former Water Pillar) had.

Let me do the math, one, two, three..."

One arm stretched out from the bloated body, calculating clumsily and ridiculously but also extremely creepily.

"...13 people, and No. 14—"

Finger ghost pointed at Tanjiro, chattering and laughing: "It's a pity, Ryodaki took great pains to teach these apprentices, but it was all in vain.

Next is you, No.14 brat!

Together with your brothers, become my nutrient! "

"Ahhhh!"

Finally unable to control his emotions, Tanjiro rushed up quickly.

The hand ghost narrowed his eyes, smiled and activated the blood ghost technique, stretching out his thick arms like tentacles, hitting the boy continuously.

The human body is very fragile, as long as any arm can hit Tanjirou, the force like a battering hammer will smash the boy's bones to pieces, but the boy must get close before he can attack.

The battle between the two sides was unequal at all, it was really easy for Hand Ghost to win, and this was the source of his confidence.

Sure enough, as he expected, although Tanjiro's swordsmanship is already very good, and he keeps slashing off the arm of the hand ghost with a long knife, no matter how much he cuts off, he will be reborn immediately, as if it is endless, and Tanjiro will soon fall into a very difficult situation. In such a situation, it would be extremely difficult to get in front of the hand ghost.

"You're too late!"

Finally, the hand ghost caught the opportunity and lashed at Tanjiro's body like a long whip, easily throwing the boy's body away, and rolled to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Win, it really is my victory again, hahahaha!"

The hand ghost made a triumphant sound, thinking that he would soon be able to enjoy fresh human flesh, and he was also a descendant of the hateful Ryotaki, he was about to tremble with excitement.

Although he enjoys every time he cannibalizes people, he is particularly excited when he targets Shuizhu Men, that is the pleasure of revenge that is engraved in his bones.

"Sure enough, the flesh and blood of disciple Linlong is the most suitable. I'm so excited (Sai ​​Gao Ni Hai Tie Duck)!!!"

The hand ghost immediately repaired the damaged part, then concentrated its strength and shot out the strongest arm, aiming at the unconscious Tanjiro on the ground!

However, at this critical moment, a cold flash lit up in the dark night, flashing across and cutting off the arm in an instant.

"what?!"

The hand ghost was stunned for a while, but when he looked intently, he found that there was an extra person next to Tanjirou at some point.

——It was Jiang Liu who was originally hiding aside.

Chapter 21: Cut off cause and effect

"who are you?"

The hand ghost said bitterly: "Seeing that I didn't run away, but rushed up instead, do you want to die too?"

"Me?" Jiang Liu blinked, but was speechless for a moment.

He was originally a very talkative person, and he had also worked as a light novel writer, so he had the most basic language organization ability, but during this year-long practice time, except for occasionally going to the town to replenish daily necessities, he almost did nothing. Only communicate with Feng alone.

And how much can there be between two people?

After the first three months, the two have formed a tacit understanding that they can understand each other almost without talking, and the verbal communication is even less.

So much so that Jiang Liu developed the habit of talking to himself...but he didn't quite adapt to talking to others.

I have to pay attention to this problem——Jiang Liu waved his hand casually at the evil ghost while thinking about such a trivial matter.

"I'm just a passing ninja, don't mind."

"Bullshit!"

The hand ghost impatiently launched an attack, with more than a dozen arms slapping towards Jiang Liu and the unconscious Tanjiro, making a rough shout.

Jiang Liu stretched his legs unhurriedly, and put his body in a natural posture. The blade popped out of the sheath with his thumb, and the subtle and clear metallic sound swayed melodiously in the night.

Standing in front of Tanjiro, facing the blood ghost technique that can easily shatter human bones, Jiang Liu did not show the slightest fear, and only shot suddenly when the strong wind broke into his perception field.

Clang, clang, clang!

Three consecutive sword cries were heard accompanied by a silver flash of cold light, and the ghost hand, as thick as a tree trunk, fell down in response.

The ghost hand hits one after another, and Jiang Liu's slashes are also connected together. There is no need to dodge at all. The trajectory can be adjusted between breaths, so that the blade cuts down along a precise path without the slightest weakening of force. They were as fierce as if they had just drawn their swords.

The exertion of breathing, the realm of "looseness and tightness", things that were once out of reach for Jiang Liu, are now firmly engraved on his body.

Ever since, he showed overwhelming dominance on the battlefield, blocking all the attacks of the hand ghost!

"I see. Is this the vampire technique?"

Jiang Liu felt the touch from his hand and made a secret judgment.

"Although the strength is great, the muscle tissue of the arm is not very tough, and this is probably the price of unlimited regeneration. This guy's blood ghost technique is to quickly spawn a large number of ghost hands, which are used for consuming attacks. Therefore, just cutting off the hand cannot cause real damage to it."

It's very interesting. When Jiang Liu was watching animations in his previous life, he was wondering about the principle of such things as "Blood Ghost Art".

This is a special skill possessed by a small number of ghosts, and almost no vampirism is exactly the same, it seems that they have discovered their respective talent potential.

However, this world does not have any mysterious side elements other than ghosts, so it seems that this thing is a bit abrupt.

Even if things like long hands and long legs, body deformation, spit spider silk, spray venom, etc. can be explained by "body transformation", but that kind of space-type, domain-type, or even telekinetic-like vampire..... .It's really unbelievable.

Since these things can appear, it proves that this world is not completely insulated from "mystery", then all human beings are flesh and blood without any extraordinary ability... It seems a bit unreasonable.

Animation and manga are okay, after all, they are just fantasy worlds, and a sentence of "the setting is like this" can solve most of the problems.

But Jiang Liu is now in the "real world"!Those logical contradictions will naturally be completed, and therefore there will be many things that do not appear in the animation, and the plot may not have the original development.

For example, when the hand ghost attacked Tanjiro just now, in the animation, the boy should have heard the voice of his relatives and woke up in time, and finally turned defeat into victory.

But here, Tanjiro has not woken up. If it hadn't been for Jiang Liu's action, he might have died here. This is probably the difference between "animation" and "reality".

In the real world, there is not so much blood to burn...

But miracles can happen even in reality—isn’t Jiang Liu just like that?

"Damn, hate, hate! Why can't I kill it!"

The hand ghost scratched his face frantically, his face was covered with blood from his sharp nails, but the strong recovery power instantly restored the wound to its original state.

"You bug, don't get in my way!"

More ghost hands were transformed, and the offensive of the evil spirits rose again, and Jiang Liu couldn't help frowning.

It is actually not difficult for him to kill the hand ghost. Having learned the ninja footwork from Feng, he can easily avoid all attacks and shorten the distance between the two, and then complete the beheading.

But once he left the spot, Tanjiro behind him would be unprotected, and any movement of the hand ghost could smash him to pieces.

After all, Jiang Liu is fearless where the blade touches...but that's all.

Swords are not magic or abilities, and have a distance limit that is absolutely impossible to break through on the physical level.

And Jiang Liu himself doesn't want to give up Tanjiro, this has nothing to do with whether he is the protagonist of the original work, it's just because Jiang Liu has a certain affection for him-in the sense of personality.

Or maybe it was Tanjiro's tragic fate that resonated with Eryu.

The same family members were killed, the same only one survived, and there was also a younger sister to protect... The difference is that Jiang Liu and Li Xiang do not belong to the orthopedics department.

Ah, that's not right, the enemy Jiang Liu has to face is much stronger than Tanjiro's, and he is destined to put in more effort.

Jiang Liu didn't mind giving him a hand if he had spare time.
