Evil, tyrannical, cruel, greedy, arrogant... but also cowardly and shameless.
Although he is clearly powerful enough to crush the entire Demon Slayer Squad, he is still unwilling to take action himself. He would rather let Twelve Demon Slayers slowly fight against each other. If he is not forced to a dead end, he is not willing to take any risks. .
Fengye was quite willing to chat with people like Aizen, but he was not interested in what Kibutsuji Muzan said.
Because if Kibutsuji Mumei knew the height of his life and the gap between the two, then the moment he saw him, he would undoubtedly bow to him, even grovel, and be willing to do anything for him. In exchange for a way to survive or even the opportunity to sublime life, there will be no so-called strong character.
But if it were Uchiha Madara, Aizen Sosuke and others, no matter how powerful they were, they would never bow their heads, even at the cost of death.
"Fengye, where should we go next? Are we going to find those ghosts..."
Ganlu Temple Mitsuri leaned on Feng Ye's left side, hugged one of Feng Ye's arms, and followed Feng Ye and spoke softly.
The things she experienced tonight were too bizarre. Just the presence of the Demon Slayers and ghosts made her very surprised. When she thought of the man-eating evil spirits like Bing Ye, she always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. .
"No, we're going to meet someone."
Feng Ye stared at the dark night ahead, his eyes quiet and peaceful, and said: "It's a coincidence, it happened to happen tonight. Now I can catch up with it, so I don't need to turn the time again."
Ganluji Mili nodded obediently. Although she didn't know who Feng Ye was going to see and what was going on, she just had to follow Feng Ye, just like before.
Chapter 41 The Butterfly Sisters’ Actions
Dark night.
The bright moonlight penetrated the damaged roof and shone into a solemn mansion. This was a very tall building. At first glance, it looked like the home of a rich and powerful person.
But at this time, there was a dead silence in the house, and a biting chill spread.
This is not simply a mental chill.
Looking around, one can clearly see that there are large swaths of frost covering the walls and the ground in the entire house. It is obviously far from the frosty winter, but it seems that the house has already entered the cold winter.
The most palpitating and frightening thing is that in those frost-covered corridors and on the ground, there is a figure, all of which are frozen in the ice and turned into ice sculptures.
Some of them are rickety servants, and some are tall guards.
But at this moment, without exception, no matter who they were, they were all frozen in the ice, and all of them had lost their vitality.
Uh-huh!
Two figures appeared on the outermost wall of the mansion.
They landed lightly and silently, both wearing the uniforms of the Demon Slayer Corps. At the same time, they wore a colorful butterfly-patterned fabric outside the uniforms. One had a graceful figure, while the other was petite and soft.
A year later, the Butterfly Sisters are now different. Kanae learned swordsmanship from Masaki. After more than a year of practice, her strength has improved significantly compared to the beginning.
She did not participate in the previous battle that had a huge impact.
However, based on the intelligence and combat power analysis of the Twelve Ghost Moons afterwards, she believed that her strength was on par with Feng Zhu, Yin Zhu and others. Even if she encountered the existence of the fourth and subsequent ones in the upper string, even if she could not defeat them, It can also be restrained to a certain extent and will not lose quickly.
A year ago, anyone after the fourth position in the top string was enough to compete with more than two pillars. In a one-on-one situation, it would be difficult for any pillar to last long in front of the top string.
Compared to Kanae, Butterfly Ninja has changed even more.
The Butterfly Ninja from more than a year ago obviously still had a childishness and youthfulness that had never faded, but now the Butterfly Ninja's eyes were much tougher than before, giving people more trust.
She had gone through a lot of training during this year, and although the swordsmanship she had learned was never suitable for her, it was still helpful to her in the end. Half a month ago, she was no longer a 'Flower Stepchild', but officially became a He became one of the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps and gained the title of "Insect Pillar", establishing his own faction.
This time, the two sisters faced the same task.
—Investigating the strong ghostly aura that frequently appears in the southeast of the Yoshiwara area!
In recent months, strong ghost energy has appeared frequently in the Yoshiwara area, but the time intervals between each appearance are very short, causing several tracking attempts by the Demon Slayer Team to end in failure.
Especially a week ago, all seven members of a Demon Slayer team that was being tracked disappeared.
After this situation, it finally attracted the attention of the Demon Slayer Squad, and Kanae, the butterfly butterfly, came to follow up and investigate in person. The newly promoted butterfly ninja applied to act with her sister, and was approved by Ubuya Shiki Yōya.
"What a strong ghost spirit."
Kanae stood lightly on the courtyard wall, as if a breeze could blow her down. Just one look at her delicate and beautiful face seemed to make people feel a kind of tenderness.
What didn't match that gentleness was the solemnity in her eyes.
At this moment, the butterfly ninja also looked at Kanae. The two sisters looked at each other. Without opening their mouths, they both knew that the other party was aware of the same thing.
This is…
The Twelve Ghost Moon, the rising ghost!
Such a rich and terrifying ghost energy is far beyond the comparison of the ghosts of Xia Xian. It must be Shang Xian, but it is still unclear which one of Shang Xian it is.
Nowadays, the Demon Slayer Squad only knows about three people, namely Yiwozao, Hantengu and Yuhu.
Among them, the Yiwo Seat was suspected to be the Third of the Upper String a long time ago, but it became the Second of the Upper String during the last war. What exactly happened there, and where the original Second of the Upper String went, is still unknown.
"Xiao Ren, be careful."
Even though her sister was already the official pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kanae still gave her a gentle reminder.
Encountering the Ghost of Winding was not too unexpected. After all, the situation had reached such a level that Zhu Zhu was personally investigated, and two people even came, so anything could happen.
The two sisters, who had already been prepared in their hearts, had no idea of flinching at this time. After nodding to each other, they each became lighter and turned into two butterfly shadows under the moonlight, flying towards the depths of the mansion.
When passing over the house.
Most of the scenes in the house were also reflected in the eyes of the two sisters.
From the outside of the house to the inside, there are traces of frost covering everywhere. Ice sculptures stand there, with looks of horror and fear on their frozen faces.
"ice… "
Butterfly Nin whispered.
This is not an ability known to any Winded Ghost.
It is currently known that Yiwozuo has the ultimate boxing skills combined with the vampire skill that can sense all breaths. It also has the ability to cut off the neck without dying. Only the irradiation of the sun can destroy it.
The abilities of Bantengu and Yuhu have also been explored. There is also another one that is suspected to have the ability to move in a large range of space and can take away a large number of ghosts in an instant. It is not yet known whether it is stringed.
The ice that appeared in front of me was another new ability.
Swish, swish.
Continue to move deeper into the mansion.
The vicious ghostly aura was getting stronger and stronger, and it had gradually surged to a terrifying level. The Butterfly Ninja, who had just become a bug pillar, began to feel a vague pressure.
finally.
The sisters stopped in front of a house in the center of the mansion.
This is the backyard of the mansion. From here, there is no longer just a cold chill, but a smell of blood that permeates the air, mixed with the stench of ghosts, wafting from the lighted house in front. out.
Kanae and Butterfly Ninja did not stop. After landing in front of the house, they walked towards the main entrance one after another. Both of them had drawn out their respective Nichirin Swords, and their mental perception and vigilance were raised to the highest level.
The sisters' steps were silent.
The trap he was alert to did not appear.
After walking into the main entrance, a very bright hall appeared in front of him. Several lights were on in the hall, making the entire hall brightly illuminated.
The hall was covered with simple and expensive carpets, and the carpets were soaked with blood that had not yet dried up.
Follow the trail of blood forward.
A young man with short gray hair and a patch of blood on his head was sitting on a chair, holding his chin in one hand, with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for the arrival of the Butterfly Sisters.
In his other hand, he held a girl's head.
Only head, no body.
The fear of the last moment before death seemed to still remain on the face that had never closed its eyes.
"Oh my, the guests have finally arrived. I didn't expect them to be two such cute girls. It's really surprising..." The young man with gray-white broken hair played with the head in his hand and said with a cheerful smile: "... I'm very happy."
Three words were clearly reflected in his smiling eyes.
Winding - three.
Chapter 42 Tong Mo’s actions
Tongmo.
The time it takes to become a ghost is shorter than that of Yiwo Zuo, but the latecomer catches up, surpassing Yiwo Zuo in just a hundred years, occupying the position of the second highest string, and has not wavered for many years.
It wasn't until Yi Wo Zuo overcame the weakness of his neck, further improved his strength, and received more blood from Wu Mei's reward that he surpassed him again and reached a level close to that of Shang Xian One.
Tong Mo is an anomaly.
Whether compared to ghosts or humans, he has almost no human emotions, but being knocked down again by Yi Wo Zuo, he is naturally dissatisfied with this status quo.
So he, who was originally very lazy, has become more diligent in the past few months, engaging in frequent activities and looking for human girls who satisfy him as food to devour, hoping to further improve himself and surpass Yi Wo Zuo again.
When ghosts devour human flesh and blood, cells can get more nutrients and evolve.
But at the level of Tongmo, the improvement brought by swallowing ordinary human flesh and blood is almost negligible. Only some 'special' existences among humans, such as thin blood, or those with extraordinary physical strength, can have some effect.
As for the two sisters who came to Tong Mo's door, each had a strong aura in Tong Mo's perception. They were almost his ideal food. The smiles they showed at this time were also from the heart.
only.
Regarding Tongmo's sunny smile, both Kanae and Butterfly Ninja felt a chill and nausea in their hearts, especially Butterfly Ninja, who felt goose bumps on their bodies.
"My name is Tong Mo. I don't know your names yet. Judging from the texture of your flesh, you should be biological sisters, right?"
Tong Mo said with a smile.
The tenderness on Kanae's face disappeared the moment she stepped into the house. At this time, the eyes looking at Tong Mo were only calm, and she did not immediately respond to Tong Mo's words.
The Butterfly Ninja felt disgusted again, with deep disgust in his eyes, and said coldly: "Unfortunately, I don't want my sister's and my names to be read out of your mouth."
Tong Mo gently placed the head in his hand on the ground, then slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Oh, that's a bit of a pity. I know every girl who was eaten by me." Do you remember their names? After you are eaten by me, your names will go with me into the distant future."
laugh!
Before the words could even be finished, a flash of bright light flashed across her face.
"The breath of an insect, the dance of a butterfly."
The Butterfly Ninja could no longer endure Tong Mo's every sentence that was full of blasphemy. He swung the sword in his hand and turned into countless fluttering butterflies in the air. They flew towards Tong Mo and surrounded Tong Mo in an instant. .
The smile on Tong Mo's face did not diminish. He calmly raised his left hand and took out a folding fan from somewhere. He waved it casually towards the front, and an icy cold wind blew through the entire hall in an instant.
Click! Click! ! !
Ice flowers bloomed around him, blocking all the countless flying butterflies.
The butterflies transformed from the sword light landed on the ice flowers, causing only a wisp of cracks before being blocked.
"Don't be so impatient."
"Tonight is still very long. There are at least four hours until sunrise. I have a lot of time to spend with you."
After Tong Mo blocked the Butterfly Ninja with a simple blow, he covered his nose with a folding fan, still smiling in his eyes.
Um.
The breathing method is very skillful and the speed is very fast. Although the strength is insufficient, the speed can cover up some of the shortcomings. The combined strength is close to those who have been killed by him in the past hundred years.
But such strength is nothing to worry about. Even if there are three or five more, there will be no threat to him.
The key thing is that there is another girl, the bigger one.
Tongmo's eyes turned to Kanae.
A year ago, he had never paid attention to any of the pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad, because there was a huge gap between those pillars and his strength, and he could play with them until they died.
Until this past year, the Demon Slayer Corps had gained some training in swordsmanship, so that all the pillars had improved in strength. Although he had not had a head-on confrontation, judging from the intelligence he heard, those who improved after The pillar already has the capital to threaten the string.
the other side.
Kanae was also judging Tong Mo's strength.
The Butterfly Ninja's move just now had revealed most of her strength, but Tong Mo's move didn't reveal much. He was obviously much stronger than the Butterfly Ninja, so she couldn't see the whole thing at once.
"If I tell you my name, in exchange, can you tell me whether the internal ranking of your Winding Ghost has changed recently?"
Kanae looked at Tong Mo and spoke softly, her voice still soft.
It's just that this softness is not like the spring breeze, but like the autumn wind, which has been vaguely mixed with a ray of coldness, indicating the harsh winter after autumn.
Any one who is a demon has the blood of countless Demon Slayer members, and has even killed more than one Demon Slayer Hashira.
