Demon Slayer: The Undead Swordsman of Thunder

Anyang Town.

After the winter snow, the charcoal seller's spring has come.

There are not many people on the street, people are staying at home, enjoying the warmth brought by the charcoal fire.

A boy carrying a charcoal basket, with steady and calm steps, slowly walked through the deserted streets.

The boy's hair is dark red, like a burning flame, and his eyes are also bright red, like two bright rubies, extremely clear.

There is a deep scar on his left forehead, which is the mark left by his accidental burn by charcoal fire when he was a child, and it has become one of his unique symbols.

It is none other than the successor of Sun Breathing, Kamado Tanjiro.

Because of his helpfulness and honest character, he is extremely popular in the town, so every time he goes down the mountain in less than an hour, the charcoal is sold out.

"Tanjiro, are you going home?"

"Come on, take the cakes I made myself and try them!"

"Little Tanjiro, come and play when you have time!"

People who see Tanjiro always greet him warmly, and those who have helped him will give him some things. After all, his father passed away not long ago, and the responsibility of supporting the family fell on him, the eldest son.

"I can't take your things!"

Tanjiro hurriedly returned the cakes. He would never allow himself to owe others favors and money. In this regard, he is very stubborn.

The old lady who sent the cakes knew the child's character very well, and said seriously: "Tanjiro, you helped me sweep the snow a week ago. You can't owe others favors. This is what you said."

The old lady's words stumped Tanjiro, and he had no choice but to accept the gift.

"Thank you!" Tanjiro bowed 90 degrees to thank her, and then prepared to go home, but the old lady called him again.

"Tanjiro, be careful on the road. I heard that a stranger is asking about you in the town. I guess he is not a good person."

Hearing this, Tanjiro's face was full of question marks. He didn't remember who his family had a feud with, so why would someone ask about him.

Although he felt strange, he still wrote it down.

The Kamado family lived halfway up the mountain not far from the town. After all, charcoal burning requires cutting wood.

He walked on the path home as usual, and before he knew it, it was dark.

The snow reflected the moonlight, so he could see the road clearly. Of course, Tanjiro had walked this road for more than ten years, and he would not get lost even with his eyes closed.

It was already late at night, and it was pitch black all around. Only the moonlight cast a faint light through the clouds.

In this bare forest, the cry of owls came from time to time, and the familiar road became a little gloomy and terrifying.

The cold night wind was like a sharp knife, mercilessly cutting across Tanjiro's face, making him shiver.

He exhaled gently, watching the hot breath quickly dissipate in the air. For some reason, he felt an indescribable sense of oppression in his heart.

"Awoo woo woo——"

Suddenly, a wolf howl tore through the strange tranquility, and a faint smell of blood drifted into the nose.

Tanjiro has a unique and sharp sense of smell. He can distinguish people's emotions and ghosts by smell.

He couldn't help but speed up his pace, but he was thinking wildly in his heart. In the middle of the night, could someone encounter a wolf pack?

If that was the case, it would be dangerous.

If he just walked away, what would be the difference between watching someone die and not saving him?

After a psychological struggle, Tanjiro picked up the axe at his waist, hid the backpack, and walked towards the direction of the bloody smell.

The snow made a "crunch, crunch" sound as his feet stepped on it. Tanjiro could already see the fire, and the smell of blood was getting stronger. At the same time, he smelled another smell.

That smell was like the afternoon sun, warm and hot.

Then he saw a scene he would never forget.

A boy was lying on a big rock, surrounded by a dozen wild wolves, and next to him was a wild boar lying in a pool of blood.

When he saw the boy's face clearly, he instantly had the illusion of meeting his long-lost cousin.

Because the man also had dark red hair, and even had his family's sun earrings hanging on his ears.

Tanjiro: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴

Father never said there were distant relatives?

At this time, Tanjiro immediately thought of what his grandmother said in the town, that someone had been inquiring about his family recently.

This solved the case. It might be that his long-lost cousin's family had encountered an accident, so he came to his family.

Without time to think, he shouted, "Run, I'll help you lead the wolves away!"

Tanjiro's roar immediately attracted the attention of the wolves. He could climb trees and was very familiar with the nearby terrain. He was confident that he could survive the pursuit of the wolves.

Feiyuzhen slowly opened his eyes.He stretched his body and looked at Tanjiro standing not far away with a confused look.

Damn it!

This is a dream, right?

Speaking of this, Feiyuzhen had to complain.

He just wanted to find out the news about Tanjiro's family, but the people in the town were guarding him like a thief. Not only did they not see him, but they couldn't even stay in the hotel.

As a result, he could only live in the wild and tame more than a dozen small pets with his kingly aura. As for the wild boar, it was a tribute from the small pets.

"Run!"

Tanjiro, who didn't know the situation, was still shouting. He seriously suspected that the man was injured, otherwise why didn't he run.

When the wolves saw the stranger, they immediately became alert and bared their teeth at Tanjiro.

So, what happened next shocked Tanjiro's worldview.

The boy just waved his hand, and the wolves made way like good dogs.

"Hey!"

"You misunderstood!"

"These big dogs are my little brothers for now!"

Tanjiro's expression was tense, because he didn't see anything at all, but the stranger had appeared beside him, and he didn't know when he put his hand on his shoulder.

He gently twitched his nose, and his heart was even more panicked, because there was a strong smell of metal on this person, and he quickly came to a conclusion.

This person has a knife and can subdue wolves. He is very strong, even like his father.

Tanjiro saw it with his own eyes. His father, who was terminally ill, beheaded a bear living near his home with a blunt axe a dozen days before his death.

"Young man, do you have something to do with me?"

"Didn't the people in the town tell you that a stranger has been asking about your family recently?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Fei Yuzhen played a little joke on the other party, trying to test the boy's reaction.

Tanjiro's breathing became heavy, because the smell of this person changed, from warm sunshine to a strong murderous aura, which at least meant that he had killed...

He didn't dare to think about it, and tried to keep himself calm.

But he soon realized that something was wrong. He had smelled the smell of a murderer, and this person definitely had never killed anyone.

So what was he fighting with?

Tanjiro couldn't understand it for a moment.
