At this moment, along with a strange drum sound, the whole layout of the room suddenly changed.

Xia Qing, who was just watching from behind, suddenly separated from Tanjiro, Zenitsu and others. Standing next to him was only a little boy wearing a cherry-colored kimono who looked scared and was trembling with nervousness. girl.

'Ah...it's so annoying, why don't you just let me lie down quietly...'

Xia Qing complained helplessly in her heart.

However, there was a gentle smile on his face, he knelt down on one knee and whispered to the little girl standing in front of him.

"I'm sorry for separating you from my brother, but I will definitely protect you. Tanjiro and Zenitsu will also protect your brother well. What's your name?"

The little girl who was crying "woo woo woo" raised her face after hearing Xia Qing's words and replied in a small voice that still had a crying tone.

"T-Teruko..."

"Hmm, what a nice name."

Xia Qing touched the little girl's head, and almost had a nosebleed when she felt the little girl raise her tearful face to face him.

Suddenly, strong footsteps came from the corridor outside the open paper door in front.

What appeared next was a bloated and fat "man-eating ghost" with a horn in the middle of its forehead. Because it had eaten a lot of people, it was stronger than some ordinary ghosts.

Chapter 82: Brother, let’s get started, stop playing with your feet! (2/5)

"Oh oh oh~ There are two human beings here. They are still full of life after coming here. Your flesh and blood are worth playing with~~!"

The blood vessels and veins could be clearly seen on his face, with a sadistic smile on his face, and his scarlet eyes stared at Xia Qing.

‘This aura... is unmistakable. It is the swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps who possesses the [Method of Breathing]...! ! ’

"Did the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps actually come here..."

The "alien ghost" who looked bloated and fat at this moment made a fist with his right hand that contained huge power and slammed it towards Xia Qing.

The little girl Teruko screamed in fear at this moment, clutching the clothes behind Xia Qing tightly.

"It's not easy to avoid this."

Xia Qing murmured helplessly, then without even pulling out the knife, he raised his right hand seemingly casually.

boom!

The right hand, which seemed extremely different, easily blocked the fist of the "alien ghost".

"Is this all your strength is?"

Two years of training not only improved Xia Qing's three-dimensional attributes, but also improved Xia Qing's physical defense due to the unlocking of the limiter.

Although it has not yet reached the resilience of a ghost, it has indeed become much stronger.

It has reached the point where you can punch through rocks with just your fists.

Even the appearance remains at the moment when the limiter was first obtained, and the age of the body seems to no longer increase.

"How is this possible? You are obviously just a human...!?"

After the alien ghost discovered that his fist was easily blocked by the opponent, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"A mere human being!!!"

Xia Qing asked with a sneer.

"Oh, weren't you once a human?"

"Varied----"

Before the other party could react to refute, Xia Qing's right hand had already grasped the handle of the [Sun Lun Sword] worn on his left waist.

As the black and red afterimage flashed by, the golden sword light had already scratched the neck of the "alien ghost".

"Don't look."

Xia Qing turned around and covered the eyes of the little girl Teruko.

After waiting for the ghost's body to turn into dust and dissipate, Xia Qing removed his hand and then touched the little girl's head.

"Let's go, brother will take you out."

"Um……"

The little girl nodded timidly, and then let Xia Qing hold her little hand and walk out of the corridor.

"Ah...ha...ha...I'm so exhausted, ah~I'm going to die..."

Zenitsu led Zhengyi forward in the corridor. Because his natural "hearing" was too sensitive, he could hear all the movements around him.

Because of this, Zenitsu was now trembling with fear and breathing heavily.

"Huh-huh-huh-"

"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Zenitsu..."

"Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Zenitsu, who was so frightened that he almost fainted, immediately turned around and hugged the boy who was smaller than himself, Shoichi.

"Secret code...Secret code...Secret code, you have to give a code. If you want to speak, don't say it suddenly. My heart almost jumped out of my mouth. If that were the case, Zhengyi, you would have become a murderer!" !understand!?"

"..."

Zhengyi stared speechlessly at this brother in yellow clothes who looked completely unreliable.

"Just looking at you... whether it's sweating, breathing, or shivering, it's all serious, so..."

"So what! I've tried my best!!!"

"But... Mr. Zenitsu's behavior makes me feel uneasy now..."

"No, I'm sorry~~~!!"

Shan Yi apologized to him with a sad face.

"But, but oh!? If you keep talking, you will be ghosted - you know it!! You will probably be discovered!!"

Zenitsu replied loudly.
