"just in front!"
Nobuhiko rushed to the front, quickly walking through the forest, and a circular charcoal kiln came into view.
A few dozen meters away from the charcoal kiln is a small wooden house.
The strong and pungent smell of blood lingered on the tip of Nobuhiko's nose.
"ah!"
Screams came from the wooden house.
A beautiful girl who looked eleven or twelve years old threw herself to the ground with a young child in her arms, her body covered in blood.
"careful!"
Nobuhiko's footsteps suddenly stopped, and behind him, Masaki and Tomioka Giyu also grasped the nichirin sword's tangs.
A young man with pale skin and a thin build walked out of the wooden house. He was handsome, with medium-long black hair, and his scarlet pupils looked a little strange.
Ghost Dance Tsuji Mukai!
Seeing the man in front of them, this idea arose in the minds of Masaki and Tomioka Giyu at the same time.
Even if the two of them didn't have a particularly superior sense of smell, they could still smell the terrifying smell on Wu Ke's body.
The smell of blood coming from the wooden house was completely incomparable to the smell that seemed to have accumulated over thousands of years on Wuhan's body.
When Muzan saw the three people wearing the uniforms of the Demon Slayer Corps, a look of boredom flashed in his eyes. With a wave of his arm, he activated the vampire technique.
[Vampire Art·Black Blood Trichosanthes]
A large number of black thorns poured out from Wu Mei's arms. The dense thorns were dancing in the air and growing rapidly, whipping towards the three of them with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Ding ding ding!
Nobuhiko, Masaki, and Tomioka Giyuu wielded the Nichirin Swords and continuously used sword skills to slash at the thorns that were shooting out. However, they could not even cut through the vampire technique released by Muzan.
With the Eye of Purity fully activated, Nobuhiko quickly discovered the anomaly in Wu Mei's body.
He has five brains and seven hearts, and the flesh under the surface of his skin looks like it has been cut by a sharp blade and put back together again.
"Is this the scar left by Muzan's sword attack from Enichi Jiguo four hundred years ago? It's still causing damage to this day!"
Nobuhiko's heart moved, and he activated the breathing method with all his strength.
[Breath of Thunder·Seven Types of Fire Thunder God! 】
[Breath of Fire·Nine Types of Purgatory]
Nobuhiko holds two swords and uses the secrets of the two breathing methods at the same time.
A golden thunder dragon fell from the sky, and Nobuhiko's body was immediately wrapped in a red flame. Like a swordsman coming out of the fire, the flame beam shot up into the sky and collided with the middle thunder dragon in the sky. The thunder dragon's The body is bathed in flames and grows rapidly in the flames.
boom!
The Flame Thunder Dragon circled down in the sky, Wu Kai's figure flashed and retreated dozens of meters away.
When the Flame Thunder Dragon was about to hit the ground, it turned around and hit Wu Mei's body.
The black thorns he released from his arms also shattered inch by inch amid the flames and thunder.
At this time, Wuhan's figure was in a miserable state. The suit he had been wearing had been reduced to ashes in the flames, and his whole appearance had completely changed.
His limbs and lower body were covered in blood and hair, and huge mouths with sharp teeth sprouted all over his body.
At first, Muzan didn't take the three of them seriously. After all, even Hashira from the Demon Slayer Corps was no match for the Demon Slayer, and his strength was far greater than that of the Demon Slayer. The three of them were even members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Pillars, to him, are also ants that can be easily eliminated.
Nobuhiko suddenly broke Wu Mei's blood ghost technique, which made him stunned for the first time.
"This swordsman..."
Since being severely wounded by Ji Guanyuan four hundred years ago, he has never fought a direct battle. As long as his subordinates can do it, he will never take risks himself.
Because in his opinion, the former swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps simply overestimated his abilities and sought death, until Yuki Tsukuni, who seemed ordinary in every aspect, appeared.
The man didn't look powerful, but he almost killed him.
This time, Nobuhiko's blow reminded Muzan of his nightmare.
boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from Wu Mei's body.
A large number of scarlet tentacles poured out from the huge mouth on his back, and sharp bone spurs sprouted from the end of each tentacle.
Tsk tsk tsk!
When the tentacles are waved, they seem to be able to cut through space.
"What a terrifying strength!" Nobuhiko's heart sank.
After Wumei revealed his true form, he felt much more terrifying than the one he had faced, Hei Shimo!
Not on the same level at all.
Seeing this situation, Nobuhiko held the red Nichirin Sword tightly in his hand and used the breathing method with all his strength. All the Yang Release Chakra in his body was poured into the Nichirin Sword in his hand.
Nobuhiko felt his body heat up rapidly, and the Nichirin sword in his hand also heated up, and the blade turned bright red.
"He Dao!"
Wu Mei's face changed slightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes increased.
He Dao can greatly suppress the regeneration ability of ghosts.
The method of activating the He Dao in the Demon Slayer Squad has long been discontinued along with the Sun Breathing Technique. The swordsman in front of him is actually able to activate the He Dao.
"How is this possible? Could it be that he killed Tong Mo!"
The aura emanating from the sword made Wu Kuan extremely uncomfortable.
The golden light cluster attached to the surface of the blade made Wu Mei's hair stand on end.
"Chirp~"
The sky in the distance is white, and the first ray of sunlight shines on the earth.
Sensing the master's crisis, golden flames fell from the sky.
Its body turned into a golden ball of light, and then fell onto Nobuhiko's shoulders.
A strong wave of heat surged from Nobuhiko's body, and the circular scar on his neck quickly turned red.
The feeling from that night reappeared, and Nobuhiko felt twice as powerful.
[Breath of Fire·One Type Shiranui]
Nobuhiko's whole body was wrapped in a ball of golden flames, flying away like an arrow from a string.
Seeing this situation, Wuhan's expression changed and he turned around and ran away.
Poof!
A bloody sword rose into the sky.
Bah!
One of Wuhan's arms fell to the ground.
Muhan, who had his arm cut off, did not look back. He dodged a few times and quickly disappeared from Nobuhiko's range of perception.
"this......"
Nobuhiko was shocked.
Muzan's speed is really astonishing. Even if he bursts out chakra with all his strength, he would still be at a disadvantage.
Even though it was almost dawn, Nobuhiko would probably not be his opponent in a real fight. Unexpectedly, Muzan would smear the soles of his feet with oil and run away.
He is too stubborn!
Or......
Nobuhiko couldn't help but look at the golden flame standing on his shoulder, which used that ability again.
However, after it released a golden ball of light from its body, the chakra in its body quickly weakened.
It seems that this move caused great damage to it.
Before he could ask any more questions, Nobuhiko threw the nichirin sword forward and nailed Wuhan's arm to death.
Even with the suppression of Yang Eun Chakra, Muzan's arm was very restless. Then Nobuhiko used the Four Elephants Seal on Muzan, which made his arm temporarily stiff.
"This physical activity..."
Nobuhiko was stunned by the impeccable cell activity.
Nobuhiko's heart moved when he thought of his promise to Tamashi to collect Twelve Demon Moon's blood for her to study.
Wu Mei's own blood is definitely more suitable for developing medicine to deal with him.
The so-called ghosts are just the imperfect evolution of human beings. If the side effects can be eliminated, that would be perfect!
"Brother! Do you want to chase?!" Zhenjiu stepped forward. Her face was a little pale. It was the first time she encountered the ghost king Wumei, who was more powerful than the ghost of Shangxian. She felt that her hands and feet were numb, but she did not flinch in her heart.
"No! We have to get out of here quickly!" Nobuhiko shook his head. Wumei was just temporarily intimidated. When he comes to his senses, he will definitely send ghosts here, and they will definitely be the ghosts of Shangxian. They may come several times at once. indivual.
Although it was almost dawn, if they didn't set off early, they might be caught up by the winding ghost halfway.
If Hei Death Mou comes, there is no problem in self-protection, but without Jin Yan's ability, it may be difficult to kill Hei Death Mou.
If multiple winding ghosts come at the same time, it will be dangerous for Zhenji and Yiyong.
Just as Nobuhiko was thinking, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
"Ah! Nezuko! Rokuta!"
Tanjiro looked at his family members lying on the ground covered in blood and let out a mournful wail.
"Mom! Takeo! Shigeru! Hanako!"
"It was ghosts who killed your family. I'm sorry, we are late." Maoshan looked at Tanjiro who had lost his family, and thought of Zeng Jin himself, and couldn't help but stepped forward to comfort him: "Your sister is still breathing. Now Maybe it can be saved with treatment!"
Because Tanjiro has a strong sense of smell, he knows that Masaki is not lying.
None of the three swordsmen in front of them were stained with the blood of their family members, and there was another very unpleasant smell on their bodies, which was the ghost that killed their mother and younger siblings!
"Please help me! Save my sister!" Tanjiro looked helpless.
"Let me do it!" Nobuhiko suddenly said, placing his hand about ten centimeters above Nezuko's chest and injecting the remaining Yang Release chakra into her body.
Soon, the wounds on Nezuko's body healed quickly.
Tanjiro also held back his grief and looked at Nobuhiko without saying a word.
However, Nobuhiko suddenly stopped and frowned.
Tanjiro hurriedly asked: "Mr. Swordsman! How is my sister doing?!"
"Your sister is still alive, but..." Nobuhiko replied, but Nezuko still turned into a ghost.
Unlike a half-ghost like him, Nezuko is a complete ghost.
She was stained with Wu Mei's blood and had already completed the transformation into a ghost.
As for the healing of wounds on her body, it was not the effect of Nobuhiko's Yang Release Chakra, but her self-healing ability as a ghost.
"This is......"
Feeling the change in Nezuko's aura, both Masaki and Tomioka Giyu's expressions changed. This was clearly the aura of a ghost.
"ah!"
At this time, the unconscious Nezuko suddenly opened her eyes, and let out a low roar like a beast, and her teeth turned into sharp fangs.
She pounced directly on the nearest Nobuhiko, but Nobuhiko dodged in a flash.
Nezuko pounced on Tanjiro who was standing aside, and threw Tanjiro down in the snow.
"Nezuko! I am my brother! Nezuko!" Tanjiro looked at Nezuko who had lost his mind and shouted sadly, trying to wake up his sister's reason.
Seeing this, Masaki and Tomioka Giyuu were about to step forward, but Nobuhiko suddenly raised his hand to stop them.
He wanted to see how Nezuko suppressed the cannibalistic instinct.
Rather than being stopped by external forces, Nezuko would only let her go after Nezuko restrained her ghost instincts.
In the original work, Tanjiro learned the water breathing method for two years from his predecessor [Water Pillar] Nintaki Sakonji. In many later battles, it was shown that the water breathing method was not actually very suitable for Tanjiro's talent.
Since Tanjiro can use the Sun Breathing Technique, the Breathing Technique of Fire should be the closest to the Sun Breathing Technique, but he has learned a Water Breathing Technique with exactly the opposite properties.
But there was nothing he could do about it. He happened to meet Tomioka Yoshiyu, the current [Water Hashira], and was naturally introduced to Nintaki Sakonji.
Of course, if he encountered other pillars, he would probably kill Nezuko directly.
Nezuko's subsequent protection of humans was also related to the psychological hints Rinataaki Saru had been receiving for the past two years.
Now Nobuhiko wants to take Tanjiro and Nezuko directly back to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, so that Nobuhiko can obtain the God of Fire Kagura, the Breathing Technique of the Sun, from Tanjiro.
On the other hand, Nobuhiko can personally train him so that he can grow up as quickly as possible.
If Nezuko is around, there is a way to observe closely and find out the changes that have happened to her.
As for how to let Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps accept a complete ghost, then Nobuhiko, Masaki, and Giyuu must be the guarantee.
The premise is that Nezuko is really the same as in the original work.
"Nezuko! Mom and Hanako are dead! Don't scare me!" Tanjiro shouted with a sad face.
"Ah!" Nezuko still yelled, wanting to bite Tanjiro.
Tanjiro had no choice but to use the wooden handle of the ax he carried to jam Nezuko's mouth, and at the same time asked Nobuhiko and others for help. She felt that Nezuko's power had become very powerful, and he could no longer resist it.
"Mr. Swordsman, what happened to my sister? Please help me!"
"Your sister has turned into a ghost. Do you need me to help you kill her?" Nobuhiko asked while pulling out another silver-white Nichirin sword.
Masaki and Tomioka Giyu who were on the side were slightly startled when they heard this.
"No! Don't kill my sister!" Tanjiro shouted.
Nobuhiko shook his head and pointed the nichirin sword at Nezuko's neck, "Your sister wants to eat you now. People who become ghosts will completely lose their minds. In her eyes, you are food."
"No! It won't happen! Nezuko won't eat people!" Tanjiro suddenly burst out with all his strength, pressed Nezuko under him, and held the ax firmly.
At this time, Nezuko, who was originally manic, suddenly saw the body of his younger brother Rokuta beside him, and his body relaxed.
Then, she turned to look at her mother and younger brothers and sisters who died tragically in the wooden house. Tears instantly filled her eyes and rolled down.
"Nezuko! Nezuko!" Tanjiro burst into tears looking at his sister who had regained her senses.
However, looking at the corpse in the wooden house, Nezuko's eyes quickly turned red and drool kept dripping from the corners of her mouth.
The smell of human flesh and blood is a temptation that ghosts cannot easily resist.
Nobuhiko was able to resist the temptation of human blood because he became a half-ghost and had a strong willpower.
And Nezuko is now a complete ghost, or a ghost directly transformed from Muzan's blood.
Her basic qualities are much stronger than those of ordinary ghosts, so the temptation of human flesh and blood is naturally greater for her.
"Ah!" Nezuko knocked Tanjiro over and rushed into the house.
Tanjiro hugged Nezuko's legs tightly, "No! Nezuko!"
At this time, Nobuhiko suddenly slashed his arm with the Nichirin Sword, and blood spurted out.
The taste of thin blood is a supreme delicacy for ghosts, not to mention that Nobuhiko's thin blood is at the same level as the immortal Kawa Saneya, and is the best among thin blood.
Nezuko was attracted by Nobuhiko's blood and rushed towards Nobuhiko.
Nobuhiko dodged, held Nezuko's hands behind her back, and pinned her to the ground with his knees, unable to move.
Nezuko struggled violently.
"You can take my blood, but I want to kill your brother." As he said that, Nobuhiko put the Nichirin Sword on Tanjiro's neck.
Tanjiro looked at the Nichirin sword with its cold light, and was immediately frightened to the point of motionless.
"Then I'll kill him!" Nobuhiko raised the Nichirin Sword high and swung it hard towards Tanjiro's neck, while relaxing his hold on Nezuko.
brush!
Nezuko suddenly disappeared under Nobuhiko, and appeared a few meters away in the next second, holding Tanjiro tightly in his arms, and her size also became as big as an adult woman.
At this time, Nezuko was still looking at Nobuhiko with drooling eyes.
Seeing this, Nobuhiko slashed his wrist again.
More blood spurted out.
Nezuko put down Tanjiro and rushed forward.
This time, Tomioka Giyu suppressed Nezuko just like Nobuhiko did before.
"If you want to eat people, I will kill your brother! Or rather, kill you both!" Nobuhiko said in a deep voice, his eyes icy cold.
"No! Please, don't do this, please! My sister has never eaten anyone!"
Tanjiro knelt down.
Looking at Tanjiro crying in pain, Tomioka Giyu's face was expressionless, but his lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't say any words of comfort.
He could understand this feeling. He lost his father when he was young, and he and his sister had been dependent on each other since childhood. However, her sister was eaten by a ghost the day before her wedding. No one in the other family members was spared. Only he, who was hidden by his sister, survived.
Many people's relatives have become ghosts, thinking that they can still remain sane after becoming ghosts, but in the end they end up being eaten.
Nezuko's reaction was already very good, after all, Nobuhiko had thin blood.
Ghosts that attack people will definitely be killed by the Ghost Slayer Squad.
"Stop crying! What's the use of crying! What you have to do is become strong and kill the ghosts! Avenge your family and protect the innocent. The tears of the weak have no meaning! Stand up!"
Tomioka Giyu said in a deep voice.
"If you want your sister to live, you must protect her with all your life, prevent her from being killed, and prevent her from eating people!"
Tanjiro was stunned for a moment and raised his head.
"It seems that I can only kill your brother. Who makes you want to eat people!" Nobuhiko walked towards Tanjiro step by step, raising the Nichirin sword in his hand again.
At this time, Nezuko struggled violently, "Brother!"
"Nezuko!" Tanjiro's eyes flashed with surprise.
Nezuko fell into a coma after calling Tanjiro.
At this time, the sun gradually rose, and Nobuhiko carried Nezuko into the wooden house.
"Remember this smell, this is the arm left by the ghost who killed your whole family!" Nobuhiko put Muzan's arm in front of Tanjiro.
...
After dawn, Tanjiro put Nezuko into the basket, covered it with a black cloth, and followed Nobuhiko and others away.
Nobuhiko plans to go to Tokyo first, hand over Muzai's arm to Tamashi, and at the same time write a letter to Ubuyashiki Yoshiya. After all, he needs his permission to bring Nezuko and Tanjiro back to the headquarters.
...
In the evening when Nobuhiko and others left the mountain.
The sun had just set when four ghosts, Hei Shi Mou, Yi Wo Zuo, Yu Hu, and Ban Tian Gou, came to the mountain.
