Demon Slayer: The Forest Pillar

"What, what?"

Satsuki was stunned. Not only him, but all the swordsmen present were stunned, including Goto and his Hidden Team members. Even Kocho Shinobu beside Shinichi looked at him in surprise.

"What! Morishi-sama, why? Everyone can see how good Satsuki is. Why? Why do you want to eliminate Satsuki? Please tell us the reason!" Murata squeezed into the crowd and questioned Shinichi anxiously.

But Shinichi just glanced at him coldly, and then said lightly: "I said before the final selection began that no matter what happened, as long as anyone of you ate the Dorayaki I gave you, I would regard him as giving up the final selection on his own initiative.

Satsuki, tell me, did you eat Dorayaki?"

Hearing Shinichi's words, Satsuki nodded bitterly. Indeed, he did eat Dorayaki, and it was indeed with the power in Dorayaki that he had the power to save Giyuu and others from the evil spirits.

"You all saw it? He admitted it, so is there any problem with me eliminating him?" Shinichi looked around and asked everyone lightly.

Perhaps it was because Shinichi's aura as a Mori Pillar was too strong, and for a moment, many swordsmen did not dare to look at him.

But one person stood up and walked straight to Shinichi. Tomioka Giyuu stared at Shinichi with his aqua blue eyes, clenched his fists, and retorted under the pressure of Shinichi: "No! Santo ate that Dorayaki to save me. He could have passed the final selection. If you want to eliminate him, please let me be eliminated instead of Santo!"

Buzz! Shinichi's left eye seemed to suddenly light up with a green light, and the next second Tomioka Giyuu felt as if something heavy was pressed on his shoulders.

"Are you questioning me? Questioning a Pillar?" Shinichi looked down at Tomioka Giyuu and asked with his head tilted.

Even though he was oppressed by Shinichi's momentum, Tomioka Giyu still raised his head stubbornly under the pressure, looked directly at Shinichi, and said with gritted teeth: "Satsuki should not be eliminated! He is more qualified to join the Demon Slayer Corps than us!"

As soon as Tomioka Giyu said this, the other swordsmen present all showed a trace of shame on their faces.

Finally, another figure stepped forward and rushed to Shinichi.

Murata closed his eyes, clenched his fists and shouted: "I was also saved by Satsuki. Satsuki worked so hard to become strong, he should not be eliminated! If he is to be eliminated, please eliminate me, Lord Morihashi!"

Once there is one, there will be a second one. One after another, swordsmen stepped forward. Most of them had met Satsuki or were saved by Satsuki from the hands of evil spirits. Even if they did not know Satsuki, they would respect his righteous behavior.

Soon, dozens of swordsmen who participated in the final selection all stood in front of Shinichi and asked Shinichi not to eliminate Satsuki.

Such a scene shocked everyone. Even Goto, who had been watching the show from behind, wanted to say a few words for the boy with flesh-pink hair. Apart from anything else, he should be allowed to pass the final selection just because he killed so many evil spirits, right?

But Goto also knew the importance of rules, and he respected Shinichi's decision as a pillar, so he did not really interfere.

Shinichi looked at the many swordsmen in front of him with a cold face. Just when he was about to get angry, he suddenly felt his sleeves being pulled. He turned his head and saw that it was Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu Kocho's big violet eyes also had a trace of sympathy. She persuaded him in a rare gentle tone: "Wood Shinichi, why don't you just forget it? That Tsutomu is really not easy."

Because she had experienced the final selection and knew how difficult it was, Shinobu Kocho would understand the behavior of the swordsmen and also admire Tsutomu's behavior.

But Shinichi seemed to be so angry that he laughed, and muttered casually: "Nonsense!"

Then he turned his head suddenly, took off the Nichirin Sword from his waist along with the scabbard, and knocked it hard on the ground.

Instantly, an invisible ripple spread out with Shinichi as the center, causing many swordsmen to tremble slightly.

"Enough, now you haven't joined the Demon Slayer Corps, so I won't blame you for not understanding the team rules. You will know when you join the Demon Slayer Corps. Don't question the orders of the pillars! Don't you want me to give up eliminating Santo? Well, I'll give you a chance!

Draw out your Nichirin Swords and use all your strength! As long as any of you can hurt me, I will let Santo pass the final selection, otherwise, shut up!" Shinichi looked at everyone fiercely.

The swordsmen were also frightened by Shinichi's words. Draw a sword against a pillar? Who dares! For a moment, hesitation appeared in the eyes of the swordsmen.

But Tomioka Giyuu, who was standing at the front, didn't even think about it. Swish! The Sun Blade was unsheathed in an instant!

"Water Breathing - Seven"Type·Shizuku Wave Stab!" A swift blow rushed straight to Shinichi's face!

The sudden scene scared everyone. Is there really a ruthless person who dares to attack the pillar?

Facing Tomioka Giyu's swift move, Shinichi's face did not change, and he did not see any movement. It seemed that he simply raised the scabbard and easily blocked the attack.

But it was not over yet. Tomioka Giyu had already rushed in front of Shinichi, with no hesitation in his water-blue eyes. He held the Nichirin Sword tightly with both hands and chopped at Shinichi desperately.

While Shinichi easily dodged the attack, Murata, who was holding the Nichirin Sword tightly, could not help but shouted to his companions around him: "Everyone! Are you just watching? If it weren't for Santo, we might not have passed the final selection! Now, we must do something! "

As he said that, Murata suddenly pulled out the Nichirin Sword, but he inserted the Nichirin Sword into the ground, held the scabbard tightly with both hands and rushed towards Shinichi.

Murata's behavior set an example for everyone, and immediately there were swordsmen with fierce faces, grabbing the scabbard.

"So what if he is the Mori Pillar? Anyway, he hasn't officially joined the Demon Slayer Corps yet! Go get him!" A reckless man roared, causing a lot of approval.

Dozens of swordsmen swung their scabbards and rushed towards Shinichi.

And seeing the swordsmen rushing towards him through the corner of his eyes, Shinichi also showed a slight smile, but the smile was a smile, and the majesty of the Pillar must be maintained.

Ka! Suddenly blocking Tomioka Giyu's sword, Shinichi took a deep breath, and the hot air came out from the corners of his mouth. It's time to give these swordsmen some shock from the Mori Pillar.

"Mori no Breathing·Land Type·Strong Grass·Wind Hurricane Attack! "

Hurrah!! With Shinichi as the center, a green hurricane suddenly rose on the originally peaceful open space, enveloping countless afterimages of slashing.

The terrifying hurricane instantly swallowed up dozens of swordsmen. For a moment, countless screams rang out, and more than a dozen figures were even swept into the air.

On the other side, Santu, who was lying on a stretcher, listened to the screams of the swordsmen, and his expression suddenly became extremely anxious. He endured the severe pain in his body and tried his best to stand up.
