Demon Slayer: The man who forged the sword, the blade flows like fire and it scares people to cry.

The sun has set.

Genya and Tanjiro are still speeding up their pace to the mission point, Iwatani Mountain.

Iwataniyama is in the middle of the Forging Knife Village and the training ground for the new members of the Ghost Killer Team.

According to intelligence information, several knife forgers and hidden members have disappeared here.

And the whereabouts of the three ghost killing team members sent to carry out the mission before are also unknown, and eighty percent have already been killed.

Tanjiro gripped the scabbard around his waist, feeling apprehensive.

Before coming, Butterfly Shinobu helped him analyze the mission.

The reason why the mission location is in the middle of the Forging Knife Village and the training point, and there are always missing Knife Forgers.

It is very likely that it will be the game where the ghost king is not miserable.

Although they can't find the location of the Forging Knife Village, they can often intercept the knives sent by the Forging Knife Village here, and they can attack the Forging Knife Man, bringing a lot of losses to the Ghost Killing Team.

And in the face of battle, the knife forging man is actually not useless.

Because of work, forging knives people are very concerned about their physical strength and various functions.

Many knife forging people will insist on cultivating all year round, and their physical strength is actually comparable to that of ordinary ghost killers.

And the Japanese wheel knives they sent out are forged by their own hands, and they will have an echo with each other, and they are even more convenient to use.

But all the knife forging people passed through the Iwatani Mountain, but there was no return, and none of them slipped through the net.

Based on the above information, Shinobu deduced that there are two possibilities for something hidden in the Iwatani Mountains.

The more optimistic possibility is that this thing has some special ability, and the ability to resist slashing is extremely strong.

Slashing it with the strength of a knife forging knife can't hurt it at all, and it may even be afraid of the Nikkawa knife at all.

Another possibility is more terrifying, it may be that the twelve-string moon appeared here.

Tanjiro hoped that this would be the first case.

Although he really wants to find Misery and solve the matter of Midouko.

But after this period of growth, he has clearly understood his current strength and cannot be rushed.

In this operation, he even entrusted Midouko, who had not yet woken up, to Butterfly Shinobu.

You know, Tanjiro never let Yadouko leave him.

However, this mission is too dangerous.

If you encounter a twelve-string moon, without being accompanied by a column, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are going to die.

Tanjiro secretly glanced at Genya beside him and sighed softly.

It's a pity that it wasn't Inosuke who came.

At the very least, Inosuke's serrated Nikkawa blade is sharper, and the odds are even greater when facing slashing demons.

At this point, I can only breathe on my own water.

I just hope that Genya won't hold back.

And Xuan Ya's mood at this time was more eager.

Because three days before the duel, one day had already passed, and he had to go to the master a day earlier.

There is not much time left for yourself.

Hope it can be solved soon.

His brother's angry appearance and that sarcasm also kept reappearing in his mind, forcing him to constantly speed up the pace.

The two soon reached the foot of the cave mountain.

"Genya, if you encounter danger in a while, please don't be impulsive and let me go first. Because you can't breathe, things here can be beyond your imagination. Tanjiro said bitterly.

Xuan Mi frowned his eyebrows slightly and said, "Stop talking nonsense, quickly smell where you are with your nose." I don't want to waste time.

Tanjiro looked embarrassed.

Although it is a little embarrassing, I have to admit that his sense of smell and forehead are the strongest in the Ghost Killer Team.

"Here we go!"

Tanjiro pursed his nose and followed the smell.

In this way, the two walked into Iwatani Mountain one after the other.

It may be because the trees here are so lush that there is no sunlight all year round, and as soon as you enter the mountains, the cold air comes to your face.

Tanjiro always smelled the smell intently.

Although the cold here is very heavy, the breath of evil spirits is still obvious, mixed with the smell of carrion.

Still ahead.

This should be the direction.

The breath, getting heavier and heavier, until it is somewhat pungent.

Tanjiro and Genya both relaxed their steps in unison.

Tanjiro had even lit his toes.

He was afraid that the sound of stepping on the leaves on the ground would alarm the thing not far away.

One step, one more step.

At this time, Tanjiro suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were soft, as if he had stepped on silt.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at his feet.

It's a piece of cloth, black cloth.

On the top of the cloth is written one word - extinguished.

It's the uniform of the Ghost Killer Team!

The uniform was tattered, with only a complete piece of cloth on the back.

After being stepped on by Tanjiro, something dark red was sent around the cloth, sticky.

Tanjiro concentrated his breathing, trying to keep himself calm, and took a closer look.

It's meat!

The dark red one was rotting flesh, and there were some worms wriggling on it.

Tanjiro quickly covered his mouth and almost vomited.

"This time, how are they two little guys?" A hoarse voice sounded.

Who is talking?

This speaking voice....

It's like having countless blades in your throat, which is creepy.

Genya immediately turned away, gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist, and leaned against the box behind Tanjiro's back, guarding the surroundings.

"Not enough to eat... Not enough..." the disgusting voice sounded again.

"Who eats whom, not necessarily." Xuan Ya gritted his teeth and rose murderously, "Come out quickly."

"Interesting little fellow..."

Before the words fell, a huge figure fell from the sky and landed in the open space several meters away.

This is a huge devil, with an unusually strong body, and in this dim light, the bulging muscles on its body can be seen.

The muscles are also stitched with shields that resemble copper mirrors.

Tanjiro observed.

There were no words of the twelve-string moon in its eyes, only the whites of its eyes that were so white that they were shining, and pupils like pinholes.

Perhaps, really as Butterfly Shinobu analyzed.

This guy, because of the invulnerability of the knife and gun, has killed so many knife forging people.

And the reason why the knife and gun are invulnerable is probably because of these copper mirrors stitched on its body.

If you want to win, you just need to avoid those copper mirrors, aim at its neck, and kill with one hit!

"Do as you said before!"

Tanjiro roared, leaving Genya alone in place and running towards the evil ghost alone.

In order not to let the evil spirit see the direction of his blade, Tanjiro hid the Nikwa knife behind him and dragged the knife forward.

And that evil ghost didn't move.

I don't know if it's too late to react, or if I don't want to defend at all.

With only two meters left from the demon, Tanjiro jumped up.

"Breath of Water!"

On the Nikkawa knife in Tanjiro's hand, bursts of waves gushed out, leaving several blue trails in the air.

Tanjiro's speed was much faster than in the previous trials, and the momentum of Mizuno's breath was much stronger.

"One type! Surface chop! The

waves slashed swiftly towards the devil's neck with the blade.

There was no stitched copper mirror there, and it was one of the few gaps in the devil's body.

A stone's throw away.

As long as this knife goes down, it will be over.

But.

Tanjiro finally relaxed.

This laxity made him a fatal mistake.

He glanced at the copper mirror on the demon's shoulder.

The blade suddenly stopped, and there was only two fingers left from the demon's neck.
