Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?

Xiao Yue looked at Fang Yi who turned and walked towards the Demon Slayer Corps base, stopped running, and became a little nervous.

It began to wonder if its acting skills were bad, or if the other party was an extremely cautious person, so it didn't chase it.

"I said that the plan given by Chen Cheng must be unreliable."

"It's not my problem that the target doesn't chase me!"

"My acting skills must be fine!"

While the ghost began to think about how to pass the blame after the mission failed, he opened his eyes wide, trying to observe Fang Yi's movements and decide his own actions.

When he saw Fang Yi starting to chase him, the ghost was relieved and continued to faithfully play the role of a fleeing ghost.

At the same time, he cursed Chen Cheng in his heart.

"You're so great for clinging to someone's thighs, but you actually let me be the bait."

"You even brought an upper-rank who is taller than you to suppress you, forcing you to do such a risky thing."

"If it weren't for my good acting skills, how could the target take the bait? I deserve the credit for this mission!"

The ghost maintained a certain speed to ensure that Fang Yi, who ran a little slowly, would not lose him, and at the same time began to imagine his future development.

"This man's knife is a bit dangerous. I have a chance of winning a fight with him, but for safety's sake, let's follow the plan."

"After I complete the mission, I will work hard to develop blood demon arts, and at the same time ask Lord Muzan Kibutsuji for more blood."

"People like Chen Cheng will definitely be trampled under my feet."

Seeing that Fang Yi was about to follow him into the ambush point set up in Chen Cheng's plan, the whole ghost of Giono relaxed.

Three upper-ranks, one with combat power comparable to that of an upper-rank, and the four of them attacked together. It was naturally easy to ambush a swordsman at the level of Upper Rank Six personally evaluated by Lord Muzan.

Even Xiaoyue felt that Chen Cheng's plan was a bit redundant and cautious. He could even try to kill such a swordsman in a one-on-one fight.

Is it necessary to poison him first, then issue some tasks in the name of Lord Muzan, and recruit some miscellaneous soldiers to consume the opponent's physical strength?

The ghost began to disdain Chen Cheng's actions while running forward.

"Chen Cheng is not as powerful as he claims to be. He just expected this swordsman to appear here today."

"The enemy is also stupid. He was actually poisoned and really followed me."

"They are all stupid people."

The ambush point is in the house in front of him. As long as the swordsman behind him follows, the opponent will definitely die.

But Xiaoyue's intuition always tells him that something is wrong, or something is missing.

[What could it be? ]

Xiaoyue has a hunch that the answer is very important, but he hasn't figured it out yet.

——

Xiao Yue stood in front of the empty house, but found that everything in front of him was completely different from what he expected, which made him feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

After he felt that he had turned into a ghost, sweat, which rarely appeared, suddenly appeared and dripped down his cheeks to the ground. The house was silent, without even a trace of wind, as if the whole world was laughing at his ignorance and blindness.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner fear, but this only made him feel more clearly that he was in danger.

His palms began to sweat, and the knife he held tightly trembled slightly because of excessive force.

Xiao Yue began to search for his companions with his perception. However, except for himself, there was no one here - no Chen Cheng, no two upper strings in the plan.

He recalled Chen Cheng's plan, and a chill spread in his heart.

According to the plan, this should be an ambush point. Chen Cheng and the two upper strings should have been ambushed here long ago, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

But now, there is only Fang Yi chasing after him.

An ominous premonition rose in its heart, as if all this was a carefully designed trap.

It drew out its sword and looked at Fang Yi. While it was fighting with all its strength, it began to think about why Chen Cheng and the two upper strings did not appear here.

After a moment, its not-so-bright brain figured it out.

Or rather, Fang Yi's few swords made it sober and understood Chen Cheng's real plan.

It looked at Fang Yi, who had burst out with combat power beyond its expectations and forced itself into danger with a few swords. It was somewhat desperate in its heart, while consuming its physical strength to restore its sword made of flesh and blood, it was thinking about how long it could live.

After the ghost fought with Fang Yi with all its strength and had its saber cut off by the other party, it understood.

He was abandoned.

The cost and benefits of Chen Cheng's plan had already been marked.

And it was the cost of the plan.

——

Looking at the Xiyue who stopped not far away, Fang Yi looked arrogant and eager for success, but in fact, his alertness reached the highest level.

Chen Cheng should take action here.

Although Chen Cheng's plan was very clumsy and felt like a [perfect mosquito trap], Fang Yi still pretended to step in without thinking.

Chen Cheng's plan was really full of loopholes, just like a mosquito trap made of a handful of salt, a bottle cap of wine, a wooden stick, and a stone placed on the ground.

As long as the mosquito landed on the salt, it would think it was sugar, and it would be very thirsty after eating the salt, but the bottle cap was filled with wine.

The drunk mosquito was tripped by the wooden stick and hit its head on the stone and killed itself.

Chen Cheng poisoned the scabbard of the Sun Wheel Sword, tricked a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers to consume him, and used Xiyue to pretend to be a lower-rank demon to lure him into chasing, luring him into a trap, and finally ambush him.

Among them, as long as one link goes wrong, the opponent's plan cannot be executed, and he has to cooperate with him.

After he perfectly cooperated with the other party, Chen Cheng should come out and say something.

Fang Yi drew out the Sun Wheel Sword, used the breathing method, and began to search for enemies who might sneak attack in the dark.

As a result, he did not find the expected enemy, but only saw Xiyue who was sweating all over.

[Can ghosts sweat? This Xiyue's acting skills are so good? He was born in the wrong place. Or is this not an ambush site? ]

Fang Yi was determined to play a few moves with the other party. He suppressed his attributes to the level before entering the field, and at the same time used the sword skill [Breath of Flame] that he had learned a few days ago.

"Evil ghost! Today is your doom!"

[Breath of Flame·Type 5·Flame Tiger]

Fang Yi thrust forward with all his strength, and the whole knife seemed to turn into a flaming tiger that wanted to bite its prey, attacking Xiyue.

Although Fang Yi had let it go, the ghost did not react until his knife approached Xiyue's body.

It hurriedly used its most familiar sword skills.

[Breath of Thunder·Type 2·Rice Soul]

Xiaoyue swung his knife and chopped out five lightning-like combos.

But the [Breath of Thunder] sword skill, which should have been known for its swiftness, became slow in Fang Yi's eyes.

[Your knife is really slow. If you keep going like this, you will die.]

Fang Yi found eleven ways to cut Xiyue's neck and forty-four ways to make the opponent lose resistance in an instant.

But Fang Yi, who played the role of the weak, chose the kindest way - he cut off the opponent's saber with one knife.

[Your sword can regenerate anyway]

[Stop acting, show your full strength]

Fang Yi felt that this ghost was still acting and had not shown his full strength, so he chose to cooperate with the other party's performance, suppressing his strength and waiting for Chen Cheng to appear.
