A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 421 414. Butterfly Ninja: Is Mr. Tomioka here to hunt?

Tanjiro swallowed what he said.

He looked at the old man in front of him in surprise. For some reason, he felt that this figure was so familiar even though he had never seen him before, especially the sea-blue Haori...

etc! Isn't this the teacher's clothes? Tanjiro was stunned, and finally remembered the origin of this outfit.

He sniffed and finally confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

"So this is the true face of the teacher? But why does it feel completely different from before?"

Tanjiro was a little confused.

Even after confirming his identity, he was still a little confused, because the aura of the old man in front of him was completely different from the teacher in his memory.

How should I put it...too ordinary?

"Don't go out and say that I taught you this kind of weak fist... it's embarrassing..."

The slightly hoarse voice was mixed with helplessness.

But after hearing these words, Tanjiro finally felt at ease.

Although the voice has changed slightly, it is still the same teacher who loves to teach him.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

"We'll talk later. I'll kill that ghost first."

As Xuanhao spoke, the expression on his face gradually turned cold, and he looked past Tanjiro mercilessly at the ghost who had climbed up from the ground.

He handed the sleeping Nezuko to Tanjiro, and then picked up the broken sword on the ground without expression.

"Teacher... that sword has been broken..." Tanjiro hesitated. He clearly saw that the teacher was wearing a intact Nichirin sword on his waist. Why not use it?

"I know."

Xuan Hao didn't look back.

"That's enough for it."

"Damn it..."

With his head fully restored, his tired face looked ferociously at the old man in front of him.

"Where did you come from, old guy? One after another, it's so annoying! Sister! Sister! Where did you die? Why didn't anyone tell me when you came!?"

He looked angrily into the woods and yelled.

"Sister?" Xuan Hao pondered for a moment, "Are you referring to the ghost hiding in the woods? Don't worry, she walked away peacefully."

"!?"

"Damn humans!"

Tired's face became extremely ferocious.

Vampire Technique·Kesi Rotation!

Huge spider webs spread out in the woods, as if they could cover the entire world.

The dense threads directly enveloped Xuanhao, Tanjiro and Nezuko. It seemed that he was completely enraged and planned to catch all the humans in front of him and the ghost that was with humans and tear them into pieces.

"The breath of water, the pattern of eleven, trace."

An old voice sounded.

The breeze blew through the woods, and when viewed from above, the entire dense forest undulated like a backward wave.

"!?"

His tired face suddenly became ugly.

Because he felt that his vampire skills were inexplicably out of his control.

The spider web moving towards the human being in front of me seemed to have encountered some resistance.

The old figure stood not far away, holding a broken knife in his hand and pointing at him expressionlessly.

The air seemed to suddenly become solid.

He felt that his whole body was completely swallowed by the sea water at this moment, and invisible power surged towards him like a wave. His vampire technique could only be pushed back under such a wave.

"Puff-puff..."

Continuous cutting sounds sounded.

Standing in place tiredly.

"How can this be?"

He was cut into pieces by his own vampire magic.

"So...so awesome!"

Tanjiro stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he saw his teacher use sword skills, but...type eleven? He remembered that there were no eleven types of water breathing!

That's right, Water Breathing originally only had ten moves, and the sword skills after ten can only be created by the swordsmen individually.

Xuan Hao's eleventh type is a sword skill used for defense, 'Su'.

The so-called "tracing back" means going against the current.

It is said to be defense, but in fact it is just pushing back the opponent's attack arbitrarily. In essence, it is also considered offense.

Xuanhao is not very good at defense, but he was not the only one who was enveloped by this ghost's attack just now. In order to ensure the safety of Tanjiro and Nezuko, he could only improvise such a sword skill.

The minced pieces of flesh struggled desperately to heal.

Xuanhao glanced lightly, then turned to look at Tanjiro.

"You can't kill such a weak ghost, and you even got Nezuko injured. Is this what you call good protection?"

"..."

Tanjiro lowered his head in silence.

Can't refute.

If he was just fighting against the 'Twelve Ghost Moons', he might be able to do it, but to kill them... it was a bit reluctant for him now. After all, this was a ghost that required a swordsman above the pillar level to attack independently.

If he were alone, he might be able to swing the sword without any scruples, but the situation just now made him realize that he could not fight alone. If he wanted to protect Nezuko while fighting, he must have a complete crushing force. It depends on the strength of the opponent.

"The knife is also broken."

"sorry……"

Tanjiro bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Don't just admit your mistakes, make up for them."

Xuanhao took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Tanjiro, "Do you know what to do?"

"Forehead……"

Tanjiro looked at the Nichirin Sword in front of him and was stunned, "I understand!"

Gently putting Nezuko down, he took the Nichirin Sword passed by the teacher with both hands, stepped forward and waited for the ghost in front of him to recover.

"Damn it...Damn it...Damn it! Damn it!!"

The flesh and blood being slowly spliced ​​together made a sound of resentment.

"Human, don't be so arrogant!"

After a while, Lei finally recovered and slowly got up from the ground.

He looked at the two humans in front of him with resentment on their faces.

"How dare you hurt my family and be so arrogant in front of me!"

"..." Tanjiro looked at the resentful ghost in front of him in silence, "It's so sad."

Although he kept emphasizing 'family', he only smelled 'angry' emotions from this ghost, and there was no trace of 'sadness' caused by losing his family.

This is an empty and sad ghost.

"Don't hesitate." Xuanhao reminded with a frown when he saw the pity in Tanjiro's eyes.

"I understand, teacher, please don't worry."

Tanjiro's eyes became firm and he slowly pulled out the Nichirin sword. The flawless blade began to change color as he held it tightly.

It's still as black as obsidian, but it seems to be slightly different from the previous Nichirin Sword.

For some reason, Tanjiro always feels that this knife... Although I feel a little sorry for Mr. Steel Mound, this knife is indeed better than the previous one!

What is engraved on the sword is not the "Evil Demon Slayer" uniformly engraved on the swords of the Demon Slayer Corps, but a lonely word "Destroy".

Yes, killing evil spirits is what he should do.

In order to let those who were killed rest in peace and to prevent more people from being harmed by ghosts, he must continue to wield the Nichirin Sword and cut off the necks of evil ghosts with all his strength.

But... at the same time, he will never trample on those ghosts who are suffering from being ghosts and regretting the mistakes they have committed.

"Whether you are a human or a ghost, if you do something wrong, you should be punished."

"Did you do something wrong? Punishment?"

Veins popped up on his tired face, "Boy! Don't be too arrogant! You are no match for me!"

Why do you call me teacher? Do you think this is a classroom? ? 'Family' doesn't matter anymore, he just wants to kill these two arrogant humans!

He looked at the two humans in front of him, an old man and a young man, in annoyance.

That old guy came out of nowhere. He is very strong. He is no match for him. His strength is at least pillar level.

But this brat has no right to be arrogant in front of him!

"Go to hell! You brat!"

Vampire technique·Killing Eye Cage.

The hemispherical cage once again enveloped Tanjiro, but this time the situation was different. He had the intact Nichirin Sword in his hand, and his breathing had been adjusted.

Kagura, the God of Fire, Round Dance!

Although he is not very proficient yet, Tanjiro can only choose to use the 'Fire God Kagura' to deal with it at this moment.

The sword skill of Water Breathing is the Guardian Sword, which is too gentle. The only move that can split the spider silk blessed by the ghost vampire skill requires superimposed strength, which is obviously not suitable for the current battle.

In an instant, a perfect arc of flame lit up in the dark night.

Wherever the light arc swept, all the spider threads burned out.

Tanjiro glanced at the Nichirin sword in his hand, which was intact.

Then, he stepped forward.

Looking at the young man rushing towards him, fear showed in his tired eyes for the first time. Ever since this young man's sword skills changed, his strength seems to have become much stronger. What exactly is going on?

He couldn't understand it at all.

Moreover, this brat looked like his breathing was disordered and painful just now, but he recovered so quickly! ? How can humans have such resilience! ?

And what's going on with this sword skill? Why does it make him feel inexplicably afraid! ? It was like fear coming from the cells, and I felt like my whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

Fortunately, there was a shield to block it just now, but what about now?

Tired glanced at the old man and Nezuko behind Tanjiro.

No chance at all!

"Are you going to die?"

Vampire magic·Kesilao!

Lei struggled to wrap himself up in layers of blood ghost magic, trying to block the young man's flaming slashes.

"Boom——"

The layers of spider silk broke the moment they touched the blade, and the clear and crisp sound of breaking continued, like playing the music of death.

Tired eyes became dull as his eyes began to rotate and he saw his own body.

Finally, he saw the young man standing in front of him.

The young man knelt down and looked at him sadly.

His body gradually dissipated as if being irradiated by sunlight, and vaguely, he actually felt the warmth like sunlight inexplicably.

"it's over……"

Tanjiro stood up slowly and looked at Xuanhao and his sister Nezuko not far away.

At this moment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Xuanhao suddenly frowned.

"Flower Breath, One Type, Sakura Flash."

A cold female voice came from behind.

A slender figure came through the air, and the air was torn for a distance.

The target is Nezuko's neck.

However……

"Al?"

The Butterfly Ninja suddenly felt that he had bumped into someone's arms, and then felt his neck being strangled, and his whole body was lifted up like a kitten without any resistance.

"Excuse me...who are you?"

Butterfly Ninja frowned and looked at the old man in front of him dangerously.

"Dodge? Dodge your head! Is this how you use the sword skills I made up?"

There was a little helplessness in the old voice.

"Your sword skills?" Butterfly Ninja frowned and looked at the old man in front of him, "Are you Mr. Xuanhao?"

"yes."

"you're lying?"

"Boom——"

"Ah! It hurts."

A thought popped into her head.

"Do you believe it now?"

"I believe it..."

The butterfly ninja was thrown to the ground and squatted defensively with his head in his hands.

"But Mr. Xuanhao... why did you stop me from killing ghosts?"

"You can kill other ghosts as you please, but not her."

Xuan Hao answered indifferently without explaining too much.

"Ouch...okay."

Although he was a little regretful, the butterfly ninja nodded obediently.

After all... If this person really wants to protect this ghost, probably no one in this world can hurt her in the slightest.

"But I hope Mr. Xuanhao can still make it clear~ Otherwise, even if I have no objection, the rest of the Demon Slayer Team..."

"I have no objection either."

I don't know when Tomioka Yoshiyuki came here.

"Huh? Mr. Tomioka is here too?"

Butterfly Ninja was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, "..."

"Mr. Tomioka...are you here to hunt in the mountains?"

"?"

Tomioka looked confused, and it took him a while to realize, "Oh, this is not a wild boar."

He put down Inosuke who was carrying him, because the kid was tied up very tightly now and with a wild boar hood on his head, he would inevitably be regarded as wild game in the mountains.

"You said you have no objection?" Butterfly Ninja was a little curious.

She looked at Xuanhao and then at Tomioka Giyu.

There seems to be a secret between the two that she doesn't know about?

"Um……"

Tomioka Giyuu nodded slightly.

He had already known about this ghost being protected by Mr. Xuanhao from Teacher Linlong, so naturally he had no objection.

"Okay...then I have no objection~"

Taking back the Nichirin Sword in his hand, Butterfly Ninja spread his hands.

There was a rustling sound in the woods.

Soon, Kurihana Rakana, who was following behind Butterfly Ninja, rushed here.

"Sister Ren..."

She was at a loss when she saw the strange scene in front of her.

There are two pillars, an old man, a young man, and a ghost.

This strange harmony made her not sure how to act.

Kill ghosts with a sword? It seems...it's not her turn?

"what should I do?"

Not only Chanahu, but also members of the Anbu who had rescued the wounded one after another also came here.

They also looked at each other at this strange scene, not knowing what to do.

"Is this... a ghost captured alive?" someone asked in confusion.

"Oh~ It's going to be difficult to handle now."

Butterfly Ninja smiled softly and blinked at Xuan Hao, "It seems that more and more people know, and we can't hide it anymore. What should Mr. Xuan Hao do?"

"Nothing to do."

Xuan Hao remained unmoved.

Sooner or later, this kind of thing will have a showdown. He is not embarrassed at all, let alone worried about accidents.

"Call the order——"

"Call the order——"

As if he had expected such an 'accident' to happen, the cry of crows sounded in the sky.

"Please Mr. Xuanhao, Jiuzhu and the Zaomen brothers and sisters return to the headquarters immediately to attend the meeting!"
