[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

==============================

88.

The wind howled, and the sound of buildings moving and colliding could be heard endlessly.

Facing the sudden fall again, Sato reacted quickly. He first killed a few ghosts that fell together with him in mid-air, and then kept his eyes on his feet, ready to counteract the impact with the shape of two.

But at this moment, a rectangular building suddenly hit him from the side, slamming him out.

Are you trying to kill me with the impact between buildings?Sato frowned and looked at the building on the other side, which was getting closer and closer. Using force with his hands, he flipped up the square-shaped building that hit him in time, and avoided other buildings that attacked him one after another.

Although it can be dealt with, it does not make any sense to consume it like this.

All episodes, Breath of Water-Eight Types-Taki Pot!

Successive torrents hit the ground from top to bottom with the light of the knife, piercing through a pothole in the building that had already been cracked in the continuous impact, causing him to fall into a relatively wide area.

The building stopped moving, and the sound of the impact gradually subsided, only the sound of the stone falling to the ground echoed in this space.

What catches the eye is the pitch-black stone pillars lined up one by one around it, and the flat ground painted with diamond patterns.

There is also a certain figure standing quietly not far ahead.

"Are you here...Ghost hunter..."

"...!"

Those words were very light, but with a strong sense of oppression that was hard to ignore.

Sabito was ready to attack in an instant, and behind the gradually dispersed dust, he saw an Oni in a samurai costume with long black hair tied into a ponytail.

The ghost stood there with a seemingly corroded and deformed knife on his waist. Besides, the most difficult thing to ignore was the three pairs of golden pupils with red backgrounds on his face.

In the pair of eyes in the middle, faint words can be seen.

—Winding, one.

It turns out that this guy is the strongest Winding Ghost Moon.

Sabito clenched the Japanese saber in his hand, breathing slightly.

It is true that it is not the same as the winding strings I have seen in the past. Just standing there, the momentum as stable as Mount Tai is already frightening, and even the fighting spirit has weakened... But now is not the time to think about these things, the only thing that needs to be done is one piece.

Those silver eyes quickly calmed down, and then——

Water Breathing-Seven Shapes-Shizuku's Ripple Stabbing.

His figure disappeared in place, and at the same time, the light of water pierced through the air like an arrow, and the blade rushed into the throat of Hei Si Mou in just a moment, and it was about to penetrate it.

The six-eyed ghost just raised his head to avoid the blow, when he saw the ghost hunter with rare hair color turn his blade and his steps at an extremely fast speed at the same time.

Water Breathing - One Shape - Slashing on the water surface.

"Good speed..."

He sideways dodged the slash like a piercing wind, and reappeared not far behind Satu.

Whether it is attack speed, almost flawless posture, or concentration, they are all stronger than the pillar-level soldiers he has defeated in the past, and their psychological quality is also impeccable.In terms of age, the force is also at its peak...but the problem is also very obvious.

No matter how confident you are in your own strength, you should avoid being too aggressive when fighting against an opponent whose strength is unknown.

Hei Si Mou looked at Sato who was ready for the next blow, thinking silently.

Is it because of a lack of intelligence that it is impossible to estimate the strength gap between the two sides?

Water Breathing - The Shape of Four - Hitting the Tide.

The piercing knife light suddenly appeared, and the tide was churning, like a dragon coming out of the water, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.

Seeing the incoming attack, Hei Si Mou suddenly felt a sense of disobedience.

"Your combat skills seem to be slightly different from the breathing of water I have seen in the past..."

The six eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought of the breath of water users he had killed in the past. Although there were not many of them, those people fought smoothly, and it could even be said to be pleasing to the eye.

"It's obviously the same breath of water... but it looks so cold and fierce..." He muttered, dodging the blow, and appeared on the other side behind Satoshi intact, "It's really weird..."

"Really? But there is someone who thinks my sword skills are amazing and likes it very much."

Although the attacks failed several times in succession, Satu didn't panic at all, instead his face became calmer.He no longer attacked, but stood in place facing Heishi Mou with his knife in hand.

One of the top strings looked at him, and after a little thought, he understood the reason.

I see.he thought.The moves just now seemed to be full of murderous intent, but they were actually just preliminary attempts.

Like himself, this ghost hunter didn't use his full strength at all.

"Interesting... Then I will try such a fierce water breathing, how is it different from the past..."

He put his hand on the handle of the knife.

At this point, if you don't draw your sword again, you won't look rude.

……

At this time, under the attack of the wind pillar, the ordinary soldiers who gradually broke through the siege followed the guidance of the crow, divided into different teams and scattered, most of them acted together, so that even if they encountered ghosts, they would not appear Excessive casualties.

Facing the overwhelming gap between ghosts and humans, Kawa Minya, the pillar of wind and immortality, did not injure any of the ordinary soldiers. One after another, his sword skills pierced through a passage like a gust of wind blowing away leaves, allowing the soldiers to escape. break through.

"Thank you very much! Mr. Fushikawa!" Kamado Tanjiro said loudly when he broke through.

"...Do you think you are here to play, brat!? Get lost!"

Immortal Kawasami who was suddenly thanked was stunned for a moment, then turned around and shouted at him.

"I understand!"

"If you keep shouting, I'll kill you too!"

Very good.Tanjiro, who ran away with the team, shut his mouth and thought in his heart.It's a breath of joy.

Although Mr. Fushikawa is so ruthless during training, he is really reliable in this kind of time, so I have to thank him afterward... Like I discussed with Mr. Tomioka, let's send some hagi cakes.

"Kaomen Squadron, your direction of action is here, please follow me."

"Ah, yes! I see!"

Tanjiro came back to his senses, and looked at the direction that the raven in mid-air was guiding him. It was a relatively hidden path. He stretched out his hand and tightened the belt of the box on his shoulder, and started to march like other team members.

"Nedouzi, wait a little longer." He turned his head and whispered, "You will be able to turn back into a human soon."

Yes, soon...

Thinking of this, he heard his heart beating against his eardrums, making an inescapable sound.

Can't fail.Tanjiro clenched his fists, pumping himself up in his heart.As long as you move forward with Nezuko, you will definitely not fail.

At this time, the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Squad, the Ubuyashiki mansion.

"The first team dispersed smoothly, Kamado Tanjiro has been far away from all the teams...how is the situation of the second team?"

"The first batch of people will arrive soon." Ubuyashiki Hikata answered his brother's words, and asked, "Do you want some of the team to follow the Zaomen team?"

"No, you continue to monitor." Teriya replied, "He must be placed alone now."

Letting Zaomen Nezuko enter the infinite city together is tantamount to a gamble above everything else. After all, once she falls into the hands of the ghost, the human side will be in a desperate situation.

Logically speaking, anyone with a brain would not agree to such a risky move, let alone the lord of the Sanyashiki family.

But she has a reason to come together, a reason that can influence the situation of the battle.

"Master Yan Zhu over there..."

Ubuyashiki Hana was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice from the other side.

"Appeared."

Hearing this, Teriya's hand holding the pen and drawing the map tightened suddenly, even though he had forced himself to calm down, his back was still chilling, and sweat dripped down the side of his face.

At the same time, the expression of Tanjiro Kamado, who was walking in the infinite city, became extremely horrifying in an instant.

Something appeared.

right behind him.

With the seemingly absent sound of the pipa, silently and softly, but it cannot be ignored, because this breath...

"With such a poor arrangement, the people of the Ubuyashiki family have come to an end."

The hut where the family died tragically.

Asakusa is crowded with pedestrians.

The black-haired man who suddenly appeared in Infinite City walked towards Tanjirou who had been standing there since just now, like a stroll in the garden.

He has been exposed to this breath twice before, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

The boy with red hair turned his head, his eyes were full of burning anger, he stared wide-eyed, and looked at the shallow and terrifying existence that could not be completely concealed no matter how carefully he pretended to be a human being——

"Ghost Mai Tsuji... Wu Mi...!"

The man narrowed his magnificent red eyes slightly, condescendingly looking down on the young man who seemed to be about to pull out the sword at his waist.

wrong.

Tanjiro paused as he reached for the handle of the knife.

According to the plan, what I should do now is not draw the knife.

Pulling back the rationality that was almost dazzled by hatred, Tanjiro put his hand on the box behind him.

Then, the moment he wanted to take it off.

"Although I don't know what your idea is."

In just a split second, the box fell into the hands of the ghost king.

"But it's all dying."

Seeing Tanjiro's wide eyes, he let out a sneer, and opened the box.

Then, it was tightly wrapped by the almost innumerable spells that flew towards it.

"boom!!!"

Tanjiro froze for a moment amidst the loud bang from the Gorei Summoning Curse.

succeeded?he thought in disbelief.But what the lord told him at the time was that it would only work if he threw the spell out of the box.

"I should have already asked you to tell Tanjiro Kamado how to trigger the mechanism of the box."

Noticing the shocked expression on the boy's face, Akari Akari turned to Yoya Ubuyashiki with a questioning look.

"Tanjirou is not good at lying, so in order not to be caught by the Oni King, I deliberately concealed the real situation of the box from him."

The protagonist of the Ghost Slayer Squad had a slight smile on his lips.

Back in the Infinite City, covered by so many spells, no less than forcibly carrying a terrifying lightning strike, Oni Mai Tsuji Mumi instantly became very annoyed. He intended to attack Tanjiro who turned around and wanted to escape, but suddenly found himself moving no more.

"This is……!"

Not only limbs, but even speech and thinking became stagnant.

It took him a while to lower his head, and saw that some charms had been pasted on his body, not the ones that caused the lightning strike just now.

"Having been cast with so many Mugong curses, can you still barely move?" Lingli Zhuhe, who saw the situation through the eyes of the crow, sighed silently, "What a terrifying existence."

But what happened next slapped her in the face.

More than barely able to move.

A few whip-like extensions suddenly stretched out from the back of the ghost king, and attacked Tanjiro Kamado who had turned around. Although the main body was unable to move, the impact on the newly grown limbs was reduced.

"Bang!"

The sun wheel knife hit the extremely hard extension limbs, making a toothache sound.

Although Tanjiro drew his sword out of its sheath in time to block the Oni King's first blow, he was quickly attacked one after another.

What to do, this way you can't escape.He thought as he struggled to dodge the attack.But in any case, Nezuko cannot be put in danger.

"Nezuko! Get out of here first!!"

He turned his head and shouted towards the seemingly deserted road.

Is it really here?Oni Wu Tsuji Mucan also cast his gaze over.He did feel the breath of another ghost, that's why he came to the battlefield so easily in person. Now it seems that the Zaomen Nezuko who overcame the sun may have used the kind of invisibility spell used by these soldiers before.

Don't worry, after he kills Kamado Tanjiro, it will only take a moment to catch up with that female ghost.

Oni Wu Tsuji was thinking this, when he suddenly heard a violent sound from above.

"The second team has arrived one after another, and now two people have arrived near the Zaomen team to support."

"I understand, then continue to guide him to evacuate according to the direction given by Master Lingli, and I will leave it to you, Bifang."

"Yes."

Although his face was always calm, in fact, Teriyaki Ubuyashiki's heart that was hanging in the air finally fell to the ground.

In Kamado Tanjiro's eyes, flames and azure water blasted from mid-air, and two figures landed not far in front of him, taking over from him and fighting with those whip-like extended limbs in just a short moment.

"It seems that the big fish has really taken the bait, the stove boy! Well done!"

"...Mr. Kyojuro." Tanjiro looked at Purgatory Kyojuro with wide eyes, and the black-haired swordsman beside him.

"Leave this to us." Tomioka Yoshiyuki said calmly, "You leave with Zaomen Nezuko."

The author has something to say:

Hey, why does this chapter seem to be missing someone (Hiragi:...)

Note: I would like to mention a little bit, when I was testing Douzi before, Wen Lifeng had no chance to pierce the box and injure her, so the conflict between Tanjiro and Fuze here is not as strong as in the original work.

And then there's a wonderful wink--

I saw the description of Qiantian Ciyu on Wikipedia when I checked the water calling style:

"Cut off the ghost's head with an extremely gentle speed, almost painless.

It is a benevolent sword that is used only when the opponent is beheaded voluntarily. "

I don't know why my eyes drifted, I don't know if it floated to the upper row or the lower row.

See it as "cutting off the ghost's head at an extremely painful speed, with almost no mercy."

I'm guilty.
