Demon Slayer: The Forest Pillar

Under the cold moonlight, two figures, one tall and one short, walked on the street, and laughter came from time to time.

"Xiao Shinobu, don't worry, I'm the most tight-lipped person, I will never say anything nonsense, hahaha, it's just that I was scared and cried, it's no big deal haha." Shinichi, who was carrying two swords on his waist, was so happy that he almost couldn't stand up straight.

But Kocho Shinobu, who was following him, was almost furious. She had never expected that she would suddenly be scared and cry in front of Mutou Shinichi. In order to protest, Kocho Shinobu could only clench her fists and keep hitting Shinichi's shoulders. The more Shinichi laughed, the faster she hit.

The two of them came to Osaka, where the Eternal Paradise Cult was located, playing and joking.

"I don't know where my sister is investigating now. This place feels so strange." Kocho Shinobu showed a trace of worry on her face. Looking around, there was no one. The place where the Eternal Paradise Cult was located was really too weird.

Shinichi also put away his smile. Xiao Shinobu's concerns were not without reason. The strange environment also aroused Shinichi's vigilance. He originally thought it was just a small cult. It seems that he underestimated this so-called Eternal Paradise.

With Kocho Shinobu, Shinichi knocked on the door of a house, but there was no movement for a long time. He knocked on the doors of several houses in a row, but no one answered.

Frowning, before Shinichi could speak, Kocho Shinobu, who was a little anxious, said first: "Is there something wrong with these people? Do you want us to force open the door and see?"

Shinichi stretched out his hand to stop the impatient Xiao Shinobu. Through Xiao Xiaosen's eyes, he could clearly see that there were fluctuations of vitality in these rooms. Obviously, there were people in these houses. They just didn't want to open the door. Even if Shinichi and Kocho Shinobu forced the door open, I'm afraid they couldn't ask anything from these people.

"Something is not right, Shinobu. Let your Yan and my Yingsan go and pass on the order. Gather the nearby swordsmen. Maybe..." Before Shinichi could finish, a roar suddenly came from a certain direction in the distance!

Swish! Shinichi and Shinobu Kocho turned their heads together, and saw a blazing fire suddenly ignited in the distance, but it suddenly went out after a while.

Shinobu Kocho may not have noticed it yet, but in Shinichi's eyes and perception, an extremely huge evil spirit breath can be clearly sensed even from a distance.

There is also a familiar breath, it is, Kanae!

"Shinobu! Kanae may be in danger! I will go to support you, you immediately seek support from the headquarters. The breath of that evil spirit is very strong! It is very likely that it is an upper string!" After leaving the last sentence.

Bang! Without thinking, Shinichi suddenly stepped on the ground, and the huge force directly stepped on the ground to create tiny cracks, swish! With the help of the recoil, Shinichi's body turned into a stream of green light and rushed towards the direction where the evil spirit and Kanae's breath were emanating.

"Upper rank?! Sister!" Hearing Shinichi's words, Kocho Shinobu widened her violet eyes, her face full of disbelief.

At the same time.

Clang! !

A sharp sound of metal clashing sounded, and a butterfly-like figure floated down from the air and hit a wall in a somewhat embarrassing manner.

A strong smell of rust filled her mouth. Although Kanae was trying her best to contain it, some blood still flowed out of the corners of her mouth.

Raising her head, Kanae's little face was full of solemn expressions. She stared at the figure slowly jumping down from the roof not far away.

She nimbly landed on the ground from the roof, her colorful eyes slightly narrowed, and her tone was still hypocritical and gentle as always, "Hey, I didn't expect you to be such a capable girl. I have met pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps before, but most of them couldn't even take my attack. You are pretty good~"

As he spoke, Upper Rank Two - Douma smiled and opened a golden iron fan in his hand. On the fan, there were pink and purple lotus flowers and emerald green lotus leaves.

Seeing Kanae stand up again with a slight shake, and pointing the Nichirin Sword at herself again, Douma smiled gently and said, "It's rare to see such a strong girl, but I advise you to give up resistance, otherwise it will be very painful in a while~"

Kanae just responded to Douma with a firm look, and her soft voice was resolute, "Carrying the name of the pillar, I will not put down the Nichirin Sword as long as I am alive. Many ghosts were pitiful people when they were alive. I also want to call them friends, but I am very sure that you are not that kind of ghost, because your evil is too obvious!"

Douma was stunned by Kanae's words, and tilted his head to look at her, "Make friends with ghosts? Hehe, what an interesting idea~ Do you want to be friends with me? Oh, no, it seems that you have said you don't want to just now, ah~ What a pity~"

Douma deliberately showed a "regretful" expression, but then "suddenly realized", "Aidu! By the way, if you don't make friends with me, I can make friends with you! As for friendship, I am familiar with it. Mr. Akaza and I are very good friends. As for friends, I will twist off your head and put it in the best position in my cabinet!"

While Douma was still talking nonsense, Kanae endured the pain and launched another attack.

"Flower Breathing·Five Type·Fruitless Peony!" The cherry red nine-hit combo from all directions stabbed Douma fiercely, and the trajectory of the knife light was like the petals of peony.

Facing the attack, Douma still had a smile on his face, but his movements were very fast. He held the golden iron fan in one hand and quickly slashed, "Blood Demon Art·Lotus Leaf Ice! "

Instantly, countless lotus-shaped ice crystals spread rapidly in a fan-shaped pattern with Douma as the center, and the temperature in the air dropped sharply.

Ping ping pong pong!! Kanae's attacks were all blocked by Douma, but it was not over yet. Taking advantage of Douma's defense, Kanae quickly approached Douma.

"Flower Breathing·Four Type·Red Flower Clothes! "The cherry-red Sun Blade instantly raised, and a slash was slashed towards Douma.

Unfortunately, this swift attack was suddenly blocked by Douma's free hand, and another golden iron fan appeared in its hand.

"It's a bit slow~" Douma said with a smile, and then quickly made a move. The sharp iron fan instantly cut Kanae's arm. The wound just oozed blood and was instantly frozen. A bone-chilling chill made Kanae's movement stagnate.

Bang! Although Douma said gently, he kicked Kanae away mercilessly.

"Ah~ I'm so happy. I haven't been so happy for a long time. This is much more interesting than listening to those stupid guys praying every day." Douma put away the iron fan, clapped his hands and said "happily".

"What a powerful evil spirit, is this the upper string? "Kanae covered her lower abdomen, stood up with difficulty, and looked at Douma.

Just when Douma wanted to continue to attack like a hunter teasing his prey, a sharp whistle suddenly came from behind his head.

"Forest Breathing·Twelve Form·Niten Ichiryu·Eagle Strike!"

"Huh? What's that sound?" Douma just heard the movement behind him, and before he turned his head, poof!

A sun wheel short sword instantly pierced through the back of his head and went straight out of his eye socket. A colorful eye was hanging on the tip of the knife, and the words "Upper String" on it were still clearly visible.
