Chapter 446 439. We cannot face the darkness with gentleness

"But Lord Tianyuan, he is right. If we don't catch up as soon as possible, many people will be hurt..." Shixu whispered from the side.

"Don't worry, it's useless if it escapes. Xuanhao and the others are up there." Yusui Tianyuan was not too worried. It should be said that there was no point in worrying.

He has asked Young He to evacuate the crowd. After all, he is hunting a ghost. The war has begun. Night is the home field of ghosts after all. The battlefield is the entire city of Youguo. Casualties are inevitable. Just think of ways to reduce losses.

And no one knows how many ghosts are lurking here.

"Makio, you and Suma go to help Hinazuru evacuate the crowd. You are not allowed to join the next battle."

After saying that, Yusui Tianyuan picked up his two wives one by one and jumped up.

"Hey Hey hey!"

Looking at Usui Tengen who was flying straight up into the night sky, Inosuke raised the Nichirin Sword and shouted, "Don't leave me!"

"I'm about to start a grand riot, and I don't have time to care about you! Follow me, Pighead!"

Yusui Tianyuan didn't even look back. After landing, he put his two wives down and disappeared instantly.

"So fast!?"

Inosuke chased him to the ground with surprise in his eyes. Only then did he realize that there was no way he could catch up with Yusui Tianyuan when he really started to move!

Sure enough, these guys called pillars were secretive, and I had underestimated them before.

"Damn it, wait for me!?"

Inosuke stomped his feet in anger.

······

On the other side, the battle between Fallen Princess and Tanjiro continues.

But rather than saying it was a fight, it was better to say that Tanjiro was chasing the Fallen Princess.

The cunning Fallen Princess used buildings to cleverly avoid Tanjiro's pursuit, and from time to time would attack the humans she encountered in the house to delay Tanjiro's pace.

Faced with such a shameless attack, Tanjiro could only be forced to consume his energy.

However, at a certain moment, Feng Ji, who had been avoiding Tanjiro's pursuit, suddenly stopped.

The night sky is still deep black. It is the dark moon and the wind is high at this moment, and it is still early before dawn.

The Fallen Princess broke through the ceiling and rushed to the roof, standing on the eaves with a gloomy expression.

Tanjiro, who was chasing after him, also stopped.

"what's the situation?"

He was a little confused, "Aren't you going to hide?"

"Stupid human, you don't really think I'm afraid of you, do you?"

Fallen Princess looked at the horizon with disdain, looking down at Tanjiro who was parked not far from her.

Although she was being chased all the time, it didn't seem to hinder her arrogant attitude at the moment.

"No, it doesn't matter whether you are afraid of me or not."

Tanjiro looked serious, "I won't let you go no matter what. It's best if you don't run away!"

He tightened his grip on the Nichirin Sword and prepared to attack again.

After the chase just now, he had a certain understanding of the strength of the ghost in front of him.

Although the word "Shangxian" is indeed engraved in the pupils, this ghost is far from the "Shangxian San" I met before.

According to Tanjiro's estimation, if it were Hashira, he might be able to kill the ghost in front of him easily. After all, he felt that even he who was not Hashira could easily suppress it. As long as the opponent didn't run away, he was absolutely sure to kill it alone.

However, just when he was about to approach again with his knife, several howling winds suddenly came from a distance.

No, it's not the wind. If you look closely, you can see that it's the ferocious belt flying in the direction of Fouhime. By the time Tanjiro reacts, it has already penetrated into Fouhime's body.

"This is……"

Tanjiro became more vigilant.

The aura of Fallen Princess began to change, the number of belts sticking out from behind became more, and the originally dark long hair became pale. Perhaps this is her complete appearance.

As these separated body parts returned, a smell that made Tanjiro feel numb deep in his throat emanated from Feng Ji.

"Pillar?"

Fallen Princess murmured to herself after merging back into the belt of her body, "It's a bit troublesome, there are too many people coming."

With the return of the belt, everything that the belt had experienced also appeared in her mind. She felt that the man who chopped the belt into pieces was the 'pillar', and if nothing else happened, he was stronger than the boy in front of her.

The current situation is not good for her. She will be in danger if she waits for these ghost hunters to join together.

"Sorry, kid, game over."

Fallen Princess looked down at Tanjiro, her gaze becoming extremely dangerous.

"What……"

Tanjiro didn't understand what the other person was saying at all.

Although his momentum is indeed much stronger than before, he has not used all his strength yet, and the outcome is still uncertain if he continues to fight. Why does this ghost talk as if the outcome is already decided?

Soon he understood why.

Fallen Girl's eyes were filled with sarcasm, and she gently raised her hand.

As she waved her arms, the belt around her waist extended out, cutting diagonally in front of her like a giant sword.

A sharp trajectory flashed past, and the top of the attic not far in front of her was completely cut off.

"boom--"

The bricks and tiles slowly fell along the cut surface, making a loud noise.

Tanjiro couldn't help but look at the scene revealed in the attic, and then his face instantly turned pale.

"mean!"

At this moment, Tanjiro finally discovered that Feng Ji's blind escape was not without purpose.

Fallen Princess, who has been lurking here for a long time, naturally knows the terrain here very well, and she even knows whose room is where.

At this moment, the top of the attic was completely cut open, and Tanjiro could clearly see the three five humans hugging each other and shivering inside.

It was Lixia Oiran and the two little girls who were responsible for her daily life.

Their faces were full of fear and shock when they saw this sudden change. Anyone who found out that the roof of the room they were in was lifted off would probably have this look on their faces, not to mention that the attack just now almost cut off the three of them.

Fallen Princess obviously did this on purpose.

"It's not just them."

Fallen Princess' gaze became extremely dangerous. As she spoke, the belt behind her began to extend, almost covering the entire street.

"I'm stronger now than before, and I can control more belts. Can you handle it?"

Tanjiro started sweating profusely.

Of course he could understand what Fallen Girl wanted to do.

As long as she had a thought, these extremely sharp belts would cut all the nearby houses into rubble like tofu.

Tanjiro didn't know how many people were among them, but he only knew that if Fenghime really did this, there would be heavy casualties.

Even if he tried his best, he couldn't protect everyone.

"Foolish person, don't you want to save them?"

Fallen Ji raised her hand contemptuously, her eyes full of cold light, "Then let me see how many people you can save!?"

The words fell.

The belt behind her became blurry in an instant, so fast that the trajectory was almost unclear.

Tanjiro could see clearly.

But...he couldn't stop these belts from attacking in different places at the same time.

The next moment, criss-crossing cracks appeared across the entire street.

"Danger!"

With no time to think, Tanjiro could only choose to save the person in front of him first.

One of the slashes was directed at the three people exposed in the attic.

Faced with such a slashing blow, a flesh-and-blood body would have no other option but to be cut in half.

"Oh, it turns out that's all you have."

Fallen Princess looked disappointedly at Tanjiro who was standing in front of the three girls, with a bored look on his face.

The human beings in front of me are indeed very strong, but unfortunately they are still like the pillars they met before, failing for the sake of some unknown 'responsibility'.

Why bother? In her opinion, wouldn't it be nice for ugly things to just turn into corpses and rot? ?

boom--

The chopped building finally failed to hold up and collapsed. The violent noise was deafening, and the diffuse smoke and dust obscured Tanjiro's sight.

"Tick-tock——"

The Nichirin Sword obviously couldn't withstand such a devastating attack.

The scabbard used to block slashes had been cut off, and the hideous wound stained the entire left shoulder red.

Blood dripped down Tanjiro's shoulder. Taking such a slash head-on was simply a stupid move. If he hadn't had a body that was far stronger than ordinary people, he might have been injured at this moment, not just his shoulder.

"Are you guys okay?"

"No...it's okay..."

The three girls stared blankly at the blood-stained boy in front of them.

"Ah That's good."

The boy's voice was obviously gentle, but for some reason, they heard endless anger in it.

Unforgivable.

At this moment, Tanjiro's eyes turned red due to blood congestion.

His eyes were so full of dust that he could hardly see anything.

But he could clearly hear the wails and screams coming from the ruins everywhere.

Smell the strong smell of blood and heart-shaking despair.

And the culprit of all this is the evil ghost who stands in a high place and condescends and does not take life seriously.

The cruel and ruthless back was shrouded in smoke. He saw her turn around without the slightest sense of guilt. To her, losing her life was as natural as breathing.

"I was wrong. I should have tried my best from the beginning."

Tanjiro felt regretful.

The teacher has taught him countless times that the battle between humans and ghosts is cruel and merciless. It is correct to fight tooth and nail as soon as they meet, even if their hands and feet are broken.

However, what he was thinking just now was to wait for reinforcements to arrive to ensure a complete victory, so he did not use all his strength.

Tactically speaking, he didn't do anything wrong, but... the result was like this.

"Teacher, maybe I'm not really the chosen one."

Tanjiro recalled what his teacher said to him after he found out that his 'Fire God Kagura' was the 'Breath of the Sun'.

He may be the one chosen by fate.

Once upon a time, there was a person very similar to myself.

The same earrings, the same breathing method, and the same birthmarks.

Everything seems to indicate that he has been chosen by fate, chosen to end this thousand-year tragedy.

But only Tanjiro himself knows that he is not actually the chosen one.

The scar on his forehead was not something he was born with. It was a scar he left to protect his younger brother who accidentally knocked over the stove. The scars he received later were added together and turned into a red like stripe. scar.

Tanjiro didn't tell his teacher about this because he looked at the expectant look in his teacher's eyes and he didn't want to live up to such expectations.

But it turned out that he still lived up to expectations after all.

After all, he was not the chosen one, and he failed to protect these people after all.

"sorry……"

"What are you sorry for?" A confused voice came from behind Tanjiro.

"Forehead!?"

Before Tanjiro could turn around, he felt a hand on his injured shoulder.

A familiar and warm feeling came from the shoulder, followed by severe pain, and the wound began to heal quickly.

"Alas..." Xuan Hao sighed, "I know something will definitely happen to you alone, right?"

"Teacher, I..."

"Reproach? Regret? Doubt?"

The old man gently bent down and put his head to Tanjiro's ear from behind. He looked at the boy's side face with penetrating eyes, as if he had seen everything through.

"I know, with your character, you probably regret not being able to save these people now, right?"

"yes……"

"I know, you are angry now, right?"

"yes……"

Tanjiro lowered his head.

"Then do you know what you did wrong?"

"..."

"well……"

Looking at the silent Tanjiro, Xuanhao shook his head helplessly. This child was still too gentle. Even if he was facing a heinous evil spirit, he would still have compassion.

but……

"Kindness is valuable, but children, we cannot face the darkness with gentleness.

Even if the darkness once yearned for the light as much as we did. "

Except for Tanjiro, no one noticed the old man appearing in the dust and the old man's gaze at this moment.

Tanjiro followed the teacher's ethereal eyes and looked through the diffuse smoke, but he seemed to see something despite the dust.

That direction was originally the direction where Fallen Princess was, but what caught his eye at this moment was a white-haired girl who looked pure, cute and even a little childish.

However, this girl who suddenly appeared was like an illusion, and was just a flash in the pan in front of Tanjiro.

"Stop being merciful and go ahead."

Feeling a gentle tap on his shoulder, Tanjiro immediately reacted. At this moment, the teacher was no longer around him again.

But the recovery from his injuries made him realize that the teacher had indeed been here.

But others are not so lucky...

Tanjiro raised his head, his eyes burning.

"stop."

"Um?"

Falling Princess, who was about to leave, turned back with some doubts. She thought she had heard wrongly.

It was impossible for the human body to withstand the almost full force of her attack just now.

She knew that the stupid boy would definitely save those three women, so she added more force to that blow.

Even the Zhu who she met before could only dodge such a fatal blow, but this stupid kid actually took it head-on. He was looking for death.

Before the smoke enveloped the boy, she could clearly see that he had fallen to his knees, with blood already staining half of his body. It was absolutely impossible for him to stand up and continue fighting.

The human body has its limits, and the only consequence of excessive bleeding is death.

"Wouldn't it be better to wait quietly until the blood bleeds out and die?"
