"Thank you for your hard work, Tanjiro."
"Welcome back, brother."
"Nezuko."
Tanjiro smiled and waved to his sister who came out of the kitchen, showing a warm smile.
As early as more than two years ago, Nezuko took the perfect version of the human-transforming medicine produced by Zhuyo, took off the bamboo in her mouth, and transformed back into a human being as he expected.
Now that she is almost 16 years old, she has become more graceful and beautiful. Just like the small town where she once lived, she has become a well-known beauty.
When he goes out, Nezuko will take care of the house in order, and Tanjiro is not worried about Nezuko's safety. In addition to Ji Xing who occasionally comes to visit and have dinner, Tamayo and Yushiro also live in their house. next door.
Among them, Yushirou has turned back into a human, but Jushi seems to have turned into a ghost for too long, and the human-turning medicine is less effective, so he still retains his ghost body. However, with the help of Ji Xing, he gradually With the ability to face the sun directly.
"How was the ghost hunt yesterday?"
"Um, Mr. Kamishi should know, right? I feel... well, he is not very strong, and although he has done many evil deeds, they don't seem to be as many as the one he committed last time." Tanjiro said.
Ji Xing smiled and said: "Of course, I have already passed through the screening. Now those guys have restrained themselves a lot because of my presence. If you want to gather twelve ghosts, you need to put a lot of effort into it."
Nezuko rubbed his head with her hands from behind and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Nezuko." Tanjiro said helplessly, "It's always the same...but in this case, when the evil is eliminated, does Unishi-san plan to become a human again and return to a normal life?"
…
"Mr. Kamishi, if this continues, it may be harder for you to turn back into a human than it is for me." Zhu Shi said with some worry as he watched Ji Xing drink the potion.
"According to your statement, people are dominated by their bodies, while ghosts are dominated by their spirits. This medicine will make your spirit stronger and stronger, and enhance your power as a ghost. But how much of the improvement is there now? Wait until you want it. When you transform back into a human being, it will be a little more difficult."
Ji Xing said: "It's okay."
In fact, more than two years ago, he had taken the human-transforming drug earlier than Nezuko, partly to test the drug, and partly to experience the process of becoming a human.
That time he succeeded.
He successfully transformed back into a human body.
But just half a day later, he borrowed a drop of Nezuko's blood and transformed into the Ghost King again!
On the one hand, the environment does not allow him to be a human being, on the other hand, he also wants to collect starlight.
Over the past three years, great progress has been made, and the four-star progress has increased to 58%.
Moreover, he has already had a successful experience of transforming into a human being. It doesn't matter whether he wants to transform into a human being again or not. It is better to fail and accumulate more experience for taking medicine for the main body of the Demon Continent.
But now he has found the blue Bianhua flower that Wu Kai was looking for, and entrusted Zhu Shi to cultivate it.
The potion he just took was based on the blue Higanbana flower and was close to a non-catastrophic ghost potion to enhance his mental strength!
As Ji Xing's mental energy increases, his ability to penetrate the universe can already see through a person's blood and bones at a glance, which is equivalent to a blind eye. He can also predict his opponent's moves and increase his strength.
And even better, he can easily see the portals of Demon Slayer's heaven and hell!
Ji Xing holds a grudge very much. Although the so-called Lord God no longer has any sense of existence since that time three years ago, Ji Xing will not forget it.
In the following years, he maintained the frequency of taking the medicine once a month and continued to cause chaos among demons and animals in Japan. He occasionally traveled abroad and had small gatherings with his friends from the Demon Slayer Squad, Tanjiro and others.
Starlight accumulates and improves little by little.
Strength is improving little by little.
The effect of the potion is getting weaker and weaker.
As his mental energy increased, his physical body gradually failed to keep up, and the tingling sensation brought to him by the sun became stronger and stronger!
Until the fourth star was lit, Ji Xing tried the human-changing drug again.
This time, it failed.
Compared with his strong spirit, it is difficult for him to return to being body-dominated, and his desire to eat people is getting stronger and stronger. He often feels that Tanjiro and Nezuko are sweet and delicious, and it is difficult to restrain him. This impulse even overwhelms the demon's desire to Brainy desire!
He knew he deserved to die.
Then go die.
Find a feng shui treasured place and terminate yourself.
The body disintegrated and died in the sunlight, and just as Ji Xing expected, no prompt to end the invasion popped up in his mind.
Dead, not completely dead.
He turned into a conscious spirit body and came to the dividing point between heaven and hell!
On the left, karma is blazing.
On the right, dazzling glory.
He tried to go to heaven, but the door was tightly closed. He gestured with his fist, Ji Xing smiled and stopped, and turned around to go to hell.
This time it was smooth sailing.
After walking for a while in the fire of karma, the scarlet door opened for him, and Ji Xing stepped in.
In a blink of an eye, he appeared on a staircase that spiraled downwards like a bottomless abyss. There was only a way down, no way up or back.
There is a door on the side, which is tightly closed.
Unable to push it open, Ji Xing went down to the next level and found another door, which was still closed.
"Is this what the 18th level of hell is like? I don't study well, so don't lie to me." Ji Xing raised an eyebrow.
All the way down to the 16th floor underground, the corresponding door finally opened. This meant that Ji Xing's sins meant he should go to the 16th floor of hell!
He looked around and saw that it was dark and dark inside, and the smell was terrifying, but he still walked in.
There are not many people on this floor, there are familiar faces, such as the original twelve ghosts and beasts, some of them are struggling and screaming in the karma fire. The power of the karma fire on this floor was already very strong, and Ji Xing felt a twinge of pain when he walked in.
Soon I saw more familiar faces.
"Yo, Hei Shimo."
The slightly pale human swordsman looked at him with wide eyes: "You?! Why..."
Ji Xing smiled and chatted with him for a while, telling him everything that happened after his death.
Hei Shimo was silent for a long time and said with emotion: "You are an amazing guy. It is such a pity that you entered hell to be with me..."
"Who will keep you company?" Ji Xing said with a smile, "I'm leaving. Let's go down and see Boss Wuhan."
Hei Shimou was startled.
Then he watched helplessly as Ji Xing pushed hard on the portal of the 16th level of hell. The portal that all the souls who were sinking here wanted to open was pushed open by Ji Xing bit by bit!
The whole floor fell into dead silence.
One after another, the spirits rushed to leave with him, praying and rejoicing, and when Ji Xing kicked him back, they also cursed.
Jiguo Yansheng looked at the disappearing figure and couldn't say for a long time: "It's really..."
Ji Xing turned around and went to the 17th floor.
There are acquaintances again.
"Is it you? Are you here to accompany me? That's great, great. Where is Xiao Ren? Didn't she come?"
It's a child's grinder.
Ji Xing turned around and left: "Goodbye."
Go straight down to the eighteenth floor!
There was only one person on this floor, and he screamed in pain from time to time under the burning fire of Infinite Karma. When he found that the door was open and someone walked in, he immediately stopped, gritted his teeth, maintained an elegant posture, and cast his scarlet gaze over.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Wuhan? I haven't seen him act like this in a few years? Go and comb your hair...hiss, this 18th level of karma is really painful."
Wu Kuai's eyes widened: "You?!"
He soon burst into laughter: "Hahahahahaha, you're here too! You're here too! Yes, we are both ghost kings, this is retribution! Were they killed by those ghost hunters? How long has it been now!"
"Hell is different from the human world. Tens of thousands of years have passed in the human world. I only came here when I was tired of living."
"...Stop lying to me!"
He approached Ji Xing angrily, and was kicked back by Ji Xing.
"Boss Wuxian, don't disturb me, I'm just here to spend some quiet time with you."
Ji Xing lay down, lying in the flames.
Wu Kuai was startled, with a look of astonishment on his face.
The burning of this flame was simply a heart-piercing pain. Even after seven or eight years, he was still unable to bear it and wished he could stand on tiptoe all the time.
How could this guy...
Huh, just hold on!
He wanted to see how long Ji Xing could lie down, he wanted to see this bastard struggling in pain!
The wait is several months.
Ji Xing finally climbed up from the flames and nodded in his mind: "Sure enough, the fire of karma burns sins and can help me suppress the demon's consciousness. Just this one wave can help me extend at least three years. I was the one who destroyed the world before." Gains of neglect.
It's a pity that I can't continue to burn. It's too painful and it will damage my spirit if it goes on for a long time. '
He waved to Wuhan, who was looking at him in a daze: "I won't accompany you anymore, let's go."
Wu Kai watched Ji Xing push the door open and leave. He was silent for a long time before his roar spread throughout the 18th level of hell.
"Who are you?! Why do you want to hurt me like this?!"
…
what? A powerful spirit.
A spirit who knows that the God Lord of the Demon Slayer World is not very strong, takes the initiative to strengthen his spirit for many years, and seeks death to play with the God Lord!
"This hell only cares about Japan, and it is so simple. How can it trap me?"
All the way back to the top of hell, a thunder sword appeared in Ji Xing's hand, slashing upward with all his strength!
A passage was torn apart by him, and Ji Xing rushed back to the boundary between hell and heaven. Looking at the portal of heaven, the sword in his hand suddenly turned red.
'The Breath of the Sun·Thirteen Types! '
boom--
With one sword, cut open the road to heaven!
…
This world, Kyoto.
The 21-year-old Tanjiro is married and has a family. Although he does not have those experiences, as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, his enthusiasm gradually attracts Kurihana Rakana, and the two get married.
His children are one year old now.
But in the past six months or so, he has been in a bad mood.
Nezuko was also unhappy.
Mr. Uamishi suddenly disappeared.
All those ghost beasts also died!
There is only one possibility, but Tanjiro thinks it is impossible. Mr. Uenishi is so strong, how could he die? Who can kill him?
Looking at the night, Tanjiro recalled the first time he met Ji Xing, and the embarrassing time when the four of them sat in a row and watched him dance the God of Fire Kagura Dance.
Looking at his son who had learned to speak, he suddenly remembered his childhood again.
'Should I teach him the God of Fire Kagura Dance? '
Tanjiro forced a smile.
A few days later, the bonfire was lit.
Next to the bonfire, he wore sacrificial clothes and danced just like his father once did. The audience included Kanaro, his son, Nezuko, Tamayo and Yushirou. This time he was not embarrassed at all, but... …one less person.
When the dance was halfway through, a strange picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
In the pure white light, Ji Xing's figure emerged, smiling and saying to him:
"Nice dance, Tanjiro."
Tanjiro was shocked: "Mr. Kamishi?!"
As soon as his figure stopped, Ji Xing disappeared. Not far away, Chanel asked worriedly: "Tanjiro?"
"...No, it's nothing."
Hallucination? Tanjiro shook his head and continued dancing. The next moment, Ji Xing appeared again.
"Don't call me sir, call me God Lord."
"...?!"
Ten days later, all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps gathered at the headquarters to learn how to dance under the guidance of Tanjiro!
