Demon Slayer: Ice Fruit Explodes

"Well, it's time to say goodbye. Have a safe trip." Lin Guang said.

After hearing Lin Guang's words, Ganlu Temple Mitsuri also knew that it was time for her to leave the Swordsmith Village.

"This time we are separated, I don't know when we will meet again, so before we part, I want to hug you, okay? Lin Guang~"

Ganlu Temple Mitsuri's big light green eyes looked at Lin Guang affectionately, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Lin Guang walked forward and gently hugged Ganlu Temple Mitsuri in his arms.

"Don't worry, we will meet again soon."

Ganlu Temple Mitsuri thought Lin Guang was just trying to comfort her, and didn't say much, but just sniffed the scent of Lin Guang greedily.

"I understand. I'll leave then~"

After saying that, Ganlu Temple Mitsuri reluctantly left Lin Guang's arms and disappeared into the night.

Lin Guang looked at the knife maker village and sighed softly.

…………

The next morning, Lin Guang and Tanjiro started looking for the mechanical puppets in the village.

Lin Guang and Tanjiro chatted as they walked.

At the same time, Lin Guang's mind was always open, and he was looking for the figure of a child.

When Lin Guang found the child wearing the words"Fire Man", Lin Guang also saw the figure of the Mist Pillar Tokito Muichiro.

Lin Guang and Tanjiro walked in the direction of Tokito Muichiro.

Not long after, they saw Tokito Muichiro and a child arguing about something.

"Oh! I remember that person was one of the ten pillars.……"Tanjiro thought about the scene when the pillars were judged.

""The Kasumi-sharu Tokito Muichiro." Lin Guang continued Tanjiro's words.

Suddenly, Tokito Muichiro stretched out his hand and hit the child.

Tanjiro saw it and yelled, then rushed over.

"Stop! What are you doing! Let him go! How can you bully a child!"

Tanjiro grabbed Tokito Muichiro's hand, but found that Tokito Muichiro's hand did not move at all.

Just when Tanjiro was surprised, Tokito Muichiro said expressionlessly

"You should let go first."

After saying that, Tokito Muichiro suddenly attacked and hit Tanjiro in the abdomen, causing Tanjiro to fall to his knees.

"Ugh~ cough cough……"

"You are quite weak. How can you join the Demon Slayer Corps?……"

Tokito Muichiro suddenly sensed a strange smell coming from the wooden box that Tanjiro was carrying.

"Hmm? That box feels weird, there's a ghost inside, let me take a look……"

As soon as Tokito Muichiro stretched out his hand, it was knocked away by Tanjiro, and the child he was holding was rescued by Tanjiro.

"Are you okay?" Tanjiro asked the little boy concerned.

The little boy broke away from Tanjiro and said tremblingly:"Let...let me go! I won't give you the key! You can't get the key even if you are tortured. If you use it again, 'it' will definitely break."

Tokito Muichiro mocked expressionlessly:"Have you ever been trained in torture? Even adults can't stand it, so you, as a child, naturally have no chance."

"You are so stupid. Even if it is broken, can't you just make a new one? Do you know how many people have died at the hands of demons while you were making trouble for such a silly reason?

Then, Tokito Muichiro continued inhumanely,"Compared with the time of the pillars, the value of your time is completely incomparable."

"You can figure it out with a little thought, right? You swordsmiths can neither fight nor save others. Apart from making weapons, you are useless. That's all. Give me the key." After that, Tokito Muichiro stretched out a hand expressionlessly. Tanjiro puffed up his face angrily and hit Tokito Muichiro's hand hard.

Tokito Muichiro looked at Tanjiro in confusion.

"What are you doing?"

Tanjiro shouted in confusion,"I hate what you are doing! How...how should I put it! Humanity?! It should be said that it is inhumane, or even cruel!"

"Is this cruel?……"

Tokito Muichiro, who lost his memory and emotions, did not feel how cruel his words were.

"You are right!" Tanjiro continued,"What you just said is basically correct, and it is not wrong in terms of emotion and reason, but……"

"The work of swordsmiths is also very important! They also have superb skills that are different from swordsmen! Without the Nichirin swords they forge, we can only stare at the demons and wait for death!"

"Therefore, swordsmen and swordsmiths are destined to need each other. Both swordsmen and swordsmiths are in different battlefields in their own way, fighting their own battles."

Seeing this, Lin Guang knew that he had to take action, otherwise Tanjiro would be beaten soon.

Tokito Muichiro still said expressionlessly:"Sorry, I don't have the time to listen to your nonsense here."

After that, Tokito Muichiro slashed at Tanjiro's neck with a knife.

At this moment, Lin Guang grabbed Tokito Muichiro's wrist and said:"Mr. Tokito, why do you have to fight?"

Tokito Muichiro saw Lin Guang appear, so he said:"Huh? Are you going to stop me from taking the key too?" Lin Guang let go of Tokito Muichiro's hand and said:"No, I'm also looking for a mechanical doll that can make people stronger."

Tokito Muichiro said expressionlessly:"Is that so, then let's go together."

After that, Tokito Muichiro ignored Tanjiro and took the key from the little boy.

Lin Guang said to Tanjiro:"Come and take a look, it might be useful to you."

After that, Lin Guang and Tokito Muichiro went to find the mechanical doll together.

Tanjiro was stunned for a moment, and followed. The little boy who had his key stolen followed the three of them angrily and came to the place where the mechanical doll was.

After Tokito Muichiro used the key to activate the mechanical doll, he came to Lin Guang's side.

"You go first, my sword is broken, and I have to wait a few days to get a new one."

Hearing this, Lin Guang smiled lightly:"Okay, then I'll take advantage."

Lin Guang came to the mechanical puppet of Jiguo Yuichi, and then pulled out his own cracked Sun Wheel Sword.

The next second, the mechanical puppet with the same appearance as Jiguo Yuichi waved six arms towards Lin Guang.

Lin Guang kept dodging and quickly avoiding the attacks of the mechanical puppet.

In the process of fighting with the mechanical puppet, Lin Guang could vaguely feel how powerful Jiguo Yuichi, the strongest swordsman of the year, was. The six mechanical arms were waving tightly, but Lin Guang could still find opportunities to dodge and counterattack.

Lin Guang knew that if he only relied on breathing methods and physical fitness, without using any other abilities, Lin Guang would definitely not be able to beat Jiguo Yuichi in his prime.

Moreover, Lin Guang had an illusion that even if he used all his means, he could only barely defeat Jiguo Yuichi.

Thinking of this, Lin Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart

"It is truly legendary for a human being to reach such a state."
