Hearing this, Yunxiao glared at him angrily, veins bulging on her forehead: "Huh? At a time like this, all you're thinking about is beating me up? Yiyong, let me tell you, you're finished! From now on, I'll make up for every single time you've ever beaten me up! Hmph!"
This guy still can't get the words out of him!
His eyes clearly showed concern, but the words he said were so irritating.
No wonder Shinobu Kocho said in the original work that everyone hated her and that she had no friends.
Who knows what might happen with that mouth!
"Alright! Let's move on!"
Qian Tu patted Yun Xiao on the shoulder and said, "The ghosts here shouldn't be too strong, otherwise they wouldn't be used for new recruit assessments. It's perfect for us to conduct practical training and accumulate experience!"
"Next, Yunxiao, don't eat it all by yourself. Remember to leave some for us, otherwise we'll have come for nothing."
The hawk-rat also has its own ambitions and goals.
I don't want the trial to turn into a picnic.
"that is!"
"agree!"
Makomo and Yoshiyuki Tomioka nodded in agreement.
"Alright, alright! I'll do whatever you say! I'll hold things up, okay?"
Yunxiao simply shrugged.
He didn't choose to act alone and try to wipe out all the demons of Fujikasake Mountain.
Killing ghosts doesn't directly grant experience or rewards.
That's enough to get it over with!
If you really want to kill more ghosts, you can wait until later to take on a quest.
That way you can also get a reward and increase your rank in the Demon Slayer Corps.
"I remember there were several Twelve Crescent Moon Demons in very prominent positions in the original work. After I pass the test and go back to see the old man, I'll find an opportunity to pick one and take it down! I'll try to become a Pillar!"
Yunxiao immediately made up her mind.
While the promotion in status was one aspect, he mainly felt that it would make it easier for him to obtain more breathing techniques from other pillars or Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
"Also, I wonder if we can find the location of Tanjiro Kamado's family in advance. If we can, we might be able to save their fate and learn the Breathing of the Sun technique along the way!"
From then on, Yunxiao followed Sabito and the other two throughout their entire journey.
Most of the time, I watched them take action to kill the attacking ghosts.
He will only take action when there are more than three demons, or when Giyu Tomioka is in a critical situation.
Usually, when he makes a move, it's just a matter of delivering a slash in mid-air.
The more times he uses his powers, the faster he can digest and fully integrate them.
They became increasingly skilled.
Every move, every style, is executed with effortless ease.
At the same time, he also tested the effects of sword intent and sword energy on ghosts.
It can injure demons and also hinder their abnormal regenerative abilities.
However, it does not have the effect of killing with a single blow.
Unless it's a direct slash with a Nichirin Blade.
However, the slashes that combined fire-style chakra were extremely effective, second only to the Nichirin Blade.
"That makes sense! Flames created from chakra are considered extraordinary flames, so it's normal for them to be able to harm demons!"
"If Eevee could evolve into Leafeon form and gain skills like Solar Beam and Solar Beam, I wonder if it would be incredibly effective against Ghost-type monsters?"
Yunxiao thought to himself, his mind racing.
It's not impossible!
That's a skill that truly harnesses the power of the sun.
"In fact, if we could obtain and absorb the Ho-Oh's sacred fire, the effect would probably be even better, right?"
Ho-Oh's Sacred Flame is definitely the bane of evil.
Ghosts are inherently undead creatures, belonging to the evil order, right?
Unfortunately, this is not easy to obtain, so let's not make things difficult for Ibrahimovic.
He's already pitiful enough.
"Ok?"
Just as Yunxiao was leisurely following behind Qiantu and the others as their bodyguard, he suddenly sensed a massive evil aura rapidly approaching.
This evil aura was at least dozens of times stronger than that of other ghosts.
"Hand ghost?"
Yunxiao raised an eyebrow, touched the fox mask hanging at his waist, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said in a low voice, "So you really did follow the scent? Just what I wanted!"
There was another reason why he was worried about leaving Sabito and the others and kept following them: he was afraid that they would be found by the Hand Demon before him.
If he fails to arrive in time and causes an irreparable situation, Yunxiao will blame himself for the rest of his life.
Even if the probability is extremely low, he cannot allow it to happen.
“Help! Help!!”
Just then, a small figure rushed out from the woods in the distance, saw Yunxiao and the other three, and immediately cried for help.
"Boom!"
At the same time, she heard the sound of trees breaking and falling behind her, as if a huge creature was following her.
"You're Shinobu Kocho, right?"
Yunxiao stepped forward, pulled the little girl who was asking for help up from the ground, and asked.
“It’s so light!”
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh.
Shinobu Kocho is really light, probably only around 40 or 50 pounds.
No wonder its strength is so pitifully small.
Of course, age is also a factor.
Shinobu Kocho is now about the same age as him, around eleven or twelve years old.
"Well"
Upon hearing Yunxiao's exclamation, Shinobu blushed and stammered as she looked at him, "You...how do you know my name?..."
Then, before Yunxiao could answer, she looked back in horror at the direction she had come from: "No! No! This is not the time to worry about these things. Can you defeat this special ghost? I saw you kill five of them with a single blow before!"
"If it's you, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"If it doesn't work, then run!"
Previously, Shinobu Kocho was shocked when she saw Yunxiao kill five demons in one blow!
Even her sister, Huazhu, probably wouldn't have been able to handle the same situation so cleanly, efficiently, and easily.
"So that's what you were planning! I thought you were trying to use us as scapegoats and deliberately ran this way!"
Yunxiao smiled and teased him deliberately.
"How...how is it possible?"
Shinobu Kocho's pretty face flushed red with anger as she glared at Yunxiao and said, "I'm not such a selfish person!! I know how powerful he is, and I only asked you for help because I felt you could handle it! If you can kill this special ghost, fewer examinees will die this time!"
She is a little angry!
She's the sister of the Flower Pillar, and she hates ghosts to the bone. How could she be such a despicable person?
In addition, she had indeed seen Yunxiao's familiar figure from afar, which is why she resolutely ran this way.
"Well! Who knows! You step aside for now! I'll take care of things here!"
Yunxiao deliberately said something in an annoying tone, and then tossed the ball to Makomo behind Shinobu.
At the same time, he said to them, "Don't come any closer! This ghost is mine!"
"careful!"
Qian Tu and the others didn't say much, just left those two words and stepped aside.
However, they all drew their swords, staring intently at Yunxiao's direction, ready to provide assistance at any moment.
Chapter 422
"Hehehe! You are..."
At this moment, the Hand Demon had approached Yunxiao within 3 meters. Smelling the familiar scent and looking at the familiar calamity-averting fox masks on Yunxiao, Sabito, Makomo, and the others, it was about to speak.
Yunxiao, however, remained expressionless, pointing his knife diagonally at the ground. Without a word, he shot into the sky like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the Hand Ghost's head.
"Can you even do it? Die!!"
The demon, who was just about to tease some of Urokodaki Sakonji's disciples, suddenly flew into a rage.
Dozens of hands suddenly grew wildly all over his body, reaching out to grab at the clouds in mid-air.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!"
In the blink of an eye, Yunxiao unleashed dozens of slashes, easily severing the hands that the Hand Ghost was attacking.
"Lightning Flash Slash!"
Then, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and flashed past the hand ghost's neck.
Even as the demon and Sabito were about to reach him, they couldn't see clearly.
When Sabito and the others saw Yunxiao's figure again, they realized that he had already appeared behind Hand Demon.
He stylishly flicked away imaginary bloodstains from his longsword and slowly sheathed it at his waist.
With two leaps, he flashed back to Sabito and the others.
Silently watching the hand demon over there, a spurt of blood shot out from its neck, and its body and head began to rapidly disappear from the neck.
"Bakana! How is this possible? How could a brat like you sever my neck? Damn it! That damned Urokodaki Sakonji!!!"
In the end, the trash left only a roar that echoed in the air before completely disappearing into the forest.
"Ok?"
Sabito, Makomo, and Giyu Tomioka weren't deaf, so of course they noticed the name that the demon uttered at the end.
"Why is this ghost calling out Master's name? And it seems to be filled with boundless hatred!"
"Could it be that you know each other?"
"I don't know!"
The three of them couldn't understand it and looked up at the clouds.
The rabbit immediately asked Yunxiao, "Yunxiao! Do you know the reason?"
For some reason, or perhaps it was intuition, Sabito clearly sensed that when Yunxiao first saw the Hand Demon, his eyes seemed to recognize it.
In addition, Yunxiao's methods were too ruthless and decisive before.
It didn't even give the ghost a chance to say a word, seemingly eager to kill it.
This doesn't fit Yunxiao's carefree and irresponsible personality.
Previously, he would usually wait for these ghosts to spout some nonsense before instantly killing them.
They seemed to be enjoying the thrill of these ghosts playing tricks on them.
"do not know!"
However, Yunxiao shook his head firmly.
This is of course a lie.
