A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 384 377. Butterfly
Night, still dark.

The igniting of the fire is only for a moment, and it cannot illuminate the boundless night.

Kagamikawa Maya stared blankly at the scene in front of her.

Mr. Purgatory wins!He actually blasted the ghost's head away with one punch! ?
Wait - fist! ?

As if remembering something, Kagamikawa's steps started to move.

How could a fist kill a ghost! ?Even if the fist is wrapped with a chain made of the same material as the Japanese sword, it is impossible to cut the Oni's head completely like a knife.

It's useless to knock off the ghost's head like this!

And...according to the teacher's speculation, the real body of this ghost is actually hidden in the head!
As she expected, Purgatory Shinichiro, who threw his last punch with all his strength, also realized this.

He wanted to call Jia Shenchuan behind him to make up the knife, but now he has no strength at all, not even the strength to speak.

The whole body collapsed powerlessly as if deflated.

His mouth opened slightly, unable to yell out...

But Jia Shenchuan has already moved.

Looking at Kagamigawa rushing past him, Shinichiro Shinichirou showed a reassuring smile on his face.

Jia Shenchuan Maya's eyes locked on the head that was spinning in the air.

At this moment, the head has been torn apart, and the hard skin covering it has been completely blown away by the punch just now, exposing the black fruit core hidden inside.

It seems that due to the impact, the core has become a little twisted, but it can be clearly seen that it is still wriggling.

A tiny claw protruded from the inside of the shell.

Jia Shen Chuan Maya saw it clearly, it was a human figure the size of a palm!

Ghost Vine, who was stunned by the punch, finally turned around from the violent impact.

Fortunately, he was ready.

Before being smashed into pieces by that monster-like human being, Gui Teng left a shadow in his heart, so he worked hard to protect his own body!
Although this damned 'Pillar of Flame' is very strong, it is far from reaching the level of that man's perversion. How could this punch really kill him when he was protecting his body with all his strength?

Although it did hurt him, it wasn't a big deal.

The ghost vine tried its best to crawl out from the core.

Get out of here quickly!He became more and more anxious, he didn't have time to kill this female swordsman who could 'breathe the sun', and he couldn't stay any longer, there was only one thought in his mind at the moment - escape!
It's like running away from the sun.

Even though it was midnight and it was dark, he still felt afraid.

Something was approaching him, when he felt the breath of death!

The ghost vine looked at the ground getting closer and closer, wishing to dive into the soil immediately.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" He anxiously wanted to quickly fall to the ground, but he could control the falling speed due to his physical discomfort from being blasted into the air.

He couldn't touch the soil, and couldn't touch the trees. Now he was helpless in the air, and he couldn't even perform the ghost blood technique.

"What do you want to do!?" Jia Shenchuan stepped forward quickly, with a cold light on the sun wheel knife in his hand.

This ghost got out of the fruit core and headed towards the ground without even looking at her, was it trying to escape?

"How could I let you escape!"

Jia Shenchuan recalled the way the ghost escaped, drilling holes!

Don't let him touch the ground!How can Mr. Purgatory create an opportunity like this with all his efforts?
"The breath of the sun, the shape of the seven, the burst of yanghua!"

"The breath of the sun, the shape of the eight, the flywheel Kagero!"

The slender figure moved forward rapidly, and the blade pointed at the palm-sized ghost that fell in mid-air.

She didn't know if the ghost had other means, and she didn't know if she could kill it with one blow, so using force was the safest way.

With the tip of the knife pointing up, stab!

You can't let this ghost get into the ground, so you can't chop down.

tread--

Kagamikawa Maya jumped diagonally upwards, her blade swung towards the sky, drawing a sun-like arc.

"bass--"

The friction between the blade and the flesh made a metal-like squabble.

Jia Shenchuan frowned tightly.

Sure enough, just as she thought, this ghost still has a way to save its life.

"Damn human! Go away!" Ghost Vine blocked the blade with both hands with a hideous face.

The sharp blade was deeply embedded in his bones, and his arm was about to be cut off. His body's extremely small density had already reached an astonishing level. It was impossible to cut him in half with this woman's strength.

But he didn't feel the slightest complacency in his heart, because his body was blown away again!

Ghost Vine looked at this woman resentfully, his ability seemed to be seen through, the purpose of this woman was to prevent him from touching the ground.

"hateful!"

He originally wanted to let this woman go once, but now it seems that he can't leave without killing this woman.

"Since you want to die, then I will fulfill you!"

Ghost Teng was extremely anxious, he had to kill this woman with one blow, and then quickly escaped into the ground.

He flipped and adjusted his posture in the air, his arm that had been slashed almost instantly returned to its original shape, and sharp claws stretched out from his fingertips.

He looked at the woman below with resentment, as long as the woman dared to swing the sword again, he would wring the woman's sword and neck off together!
But before he could move, he saw a smile on the corner of the woman's mouth looking up at him from the ground.

What are you laughing at?Ghost Vine was a little puzzled.

But soon he felt that the sky behind him seemed to become brighter, and the dawn-like light made him tremble all over, but... it's late at night!
Before he had time to turn his head to look, he felt himself being pinched.

"Crack-"

The sound of bones breaking continuously came from Xuan Hao's hands.

"what--"

Ghost Vine screamed in pain.

His face was full of unbelievable expressions, and in just a moment, the high-density body he was proud of was crushed by this man like a bubble.

It’s over.

Gui Teng's heart fell into despair.

He was caught by this scary guy.

His strength is useless in this man's hands, and there is no room for struggle. Even if he bites with his mouth, he finds that he can't bite the man's skin.

What kind of monster is it?It's impossible to win, even that adult can't win, because compared to that adult, the man in front of him is a real monster!

"Lend me the knife."

Xuan Hao's cold voice sounded to Gui Teng's ears as if he had been sentenced to death.

He could only watch helplessly as the empty-handed man took the long knife from the hateful woman.Watching the blade slowly approaching his neck.

The cold touch, the warm spring, is this death?Ghost Vine's face was ferocious, he felt his body being loosened, but it was too late.

Until his death, he still did not have the slightest repentance, and his eyes full of resentment scanned everyone present.

But until his body completely dissipated, the people present didn't pay attention to his gaze at all.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Xuan Hao came to Purgatory Shinichiro.

The life force in this man was draining rapidly, and he was about to die.

"No, you came just in time." Purgatory Shinichiro who was sitting on the ground showed a somewhat forced smile, "Don't feel guilty, it's not your fault."

"But you are going to die." Xuan Hao blamed himself a little.

"Teacher, you said that Mr. Purgatory... is going to die?" Maya Kagamikawa was a little puzzled.

Mr. Purgatory is still alive and well, right?There was no fatal injury on his body, but he looked a little exhausted.

Xuan Hao shook his head slowly, "He turned on the markings."

"Brindle?" It was only then that Kagamikawa Ayaka noticed Shinichiro Purgatory's arm.

The hideous lines were covered by iron chains, which she hadn't noticed just now.

The 'stripes' only started to appear after the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad learned the breathing method from Tsui Enichi.

It is said that this is the ultimate manifestation of the breathing method, and it is also the embodiment of human beings beyond the limit, and it is also a kind of 'curse'.

Swordsmen who have turned on stripes usually don't live past the age of 25.

Although Purgatory Shinichiro didn't die by the hands of the ghost, he turned on the 'stripes'.

Except for Ji Guoyuanyi, no other swordsman could live beyond the age of 25 after turning on the stripes, and this man's age has already passed.

In this case, once the markings are turned on, it means death, and the continuous loss of vitality on the body is the best proof.

Before dawn at the latest, this man will die completely due to the burden of turning on his stripes.

The reason why Xuan Hao felt guilty was because this man probably didn't have to die in the first place.

The original strength of this ghost with the second string was far from being so strong. He knew very well that with the current strength of Purgatory Shinichiro, he should be able to kill this ghost even without markings.

But because of his appearance, this ghost was defeated by him once, and gained stronger power from Kiwu Tsuji, which led to the current situation.

"Then what should we do now?" Jia Shenchuan was a little anxious, "Is there really no other way?"

"If you die, die, what's the point?" Purgatory Shinichiro smiled softly, "As long as the lord and you are still here, the Ghost Slayer Squad will have a future."

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

Xuan Hao frowned, thinking that he might have a way to save this man.

The reason why humans with markings turned on will die is because the body cannot bear the load beyond the limit.

Power has a price. Human beings have power beyond the limit, and the price is death.

But there are exceptions.

For example, Ji Guo Yuan Yi.

Xuanhao knew that Ji Guoyuan had spots on his forehead since he was born, and he lived to be 80 years old.

Where is the difference between them?The answer is that Ji Guoyuan's physical fitness is different from that of ordinary people since he was born.

Ji Guoyuan is a 'monster' beyond human limits, so he will not die.

So what if the human beings with markings also have the physical fitness to withstand this force?
"Maybe there is another way, but I have never tried it. Would you like to use your body for me to experiment?"

After understanding the principle of markings, Xuan Hao suddenly asked.

"Eh?" Purgatory Shinichiro was stunned.

He is aware of the consequences of turning on the stripes, and he is also very clear about his current physical state. In such a mortal situation, unless there is a miracle, it is impossible to survive tonight.

But looking at Xuan Hao's serious eyes, he knew that Xuan Hao was not joking with him.

"Hahaha... that's ok! Anyway, it's dead anyway." Purgatory Shinichiro laughed.

"Then... Zhenye, you leave first."

Xuan Hao gestured towards Maya Kagamikawa beside him.

"Yes, girl, hurry up and see if the lord has escaped from danger." Purgatory Shinichiro also nodded.

"Um... okay." Maya Kagami was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and left.

She knew that the two might be conducting some dangerous experiments, and she didn't want her to see them.

After Jia Shenchuan's figure completely disappeared, Xuan Hao turned his head and moved Purgatory Shinichiro to the side of the tree to lean against.

Now this man's physical condition is as bad as Xuan Hao's, his whole body is almost in a state of collapse, but it is a pity that not everyone has the power of law to protect his body like Xuan Hao, even if he collapses, he will regenerate.

For ordinary people like Purgatory Shinichiro, being able to speak now is already the limit.

"My method is very simple, but of course it is also very dangerous." Xuan Hao looked at the man in front of him seriously, "If you fail, you will explode and die, are you ready?"

"It doesn't matter, it's the same no matter how you die." Purgatory Shinichiro smiled, he is already a mortal person, what else is there to be afraid of?

It's just that he is still very curious, what can Xuan Hao do to save his life?

Although he had known for a long time that the man in front of him was extraordinary, could human beings really be able to change their fate against the sky?

"What are you going to do?" Purgatory Shinichiro asked.

"You should have seen it earlier, I am not an ordinary person."

As Xuan Hao said, he untied the bandage wrapped around his arm, and the fine black lines hidden underneath looked even more terrifying than stripes.

Purgatory Shinichiro nodded slowly, how could ordinary people be so strong?
He had already guessed this point, but it didn't matter at all, because he knew very well that the man in front of him could not be a ghost, even if they were not ordinary people, they would not be enemies.

Xuan Hao slashed his wrist, and the dark red blood was mixed with pale gold.

"Do you want me to drink your blood?" Purgatory Shinichiro stared at Xuan Hao's movements in a daze.

He is not stupid, this man will not let blood for no reason, right?
"I don't know what kind of power is hidden in my blood." Xuan Hao nodded slightly, "Of course, no one has ever directly drank my blood, and I don't know what will happen, so... ...This is a big gamble. If you win the gamble, you will not only survive, but also become stronger. If you lose..."

"It seems that there is nothing to lose?" Purgatory Shinichiro laughed, "Come on!"

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and raised his head, and then the blood flowed down Xuan Hao's wrist.

Xuan Hao didn't bleed out too much blood, and the cut wrist healed up almost instantly.

The blood that flowed down passed through the palm of the hand, and finally only one drop entered the mouth of Purgatory Shinichiro.

He did this on purpose, one drop was enough, because he didn't know whether ordinary humans could bear his blood.

In the world of dragons, he used his own blood to research the so-called "divine blood", and that kind of "divine blood" can only be used on mixed races after dilution.

Now there is no such condition to produce that kind of thing. I don't know if the body of ordinary human beings can bear it, so I can only take a risk and try it.

"what--"

Painful screams sounded in the forest.

"It really isn't that easy?"

Seeing the struggling Purgatory Shinichiro, Xuan Hao frowned.

He seemed to have underestimated the power of his own blood.

But it's true to think about it, as far as common sense is concerned, dragon blood is highly poisonous to ordinary people.

When he was an ordinary human being, he received the 'Blood Bestowed by God', but he was in so much pain that he tore a dragon king with his hands, and he survived only by his own immortality.

If it was a ghost, it might be able to survive with its super resilience, but as an ordinary human being without any dragon blood, Purgatory Shinichiro couldn't bear such power.

If he doesn't do something, this man will surely die.

Although death was inevitable, Xuan Hao still wanted to try to see if he could be rescued.After all, it all started with him.He thought that if it wasn't for his appearance, this man might be able to defeat this ghost without turning on his stripes.

"We can only proceed to the second step."

Xuan Hao knows how to save this man, because the answer has always been in himself.

Restoration alone is useless, because as a human being, Shinichiro Purgatory can't bear the side effects of turning on the markings even if his body is restored to a good state, and the end is still dead.

So he had to use his own blood to raise the 'upper limit' of this man as a human being, and then try to mobilize the power in his body to repair this man's body.

If this man can bear his blood, the problem will be simple, but now it seems that the second step of repair has to be carried out.

Originally, Xuan Hao didn't plan to carry out the second step, because it would be very dangerous to mobilize the power in his body to repair other people's bodies. Of course, it didn't mean that Shinichiro in purgatory would be very dangerous, but that if he didn't do it well, he would also fall into in danger.

This method sounds simple, just mobilize the power of law in the body to repair the body of Purgatory Shinichiro and it's over.

right?It really couldn't be more simple than it sounds, this is the power of the supreme law, not to mention saving a human being, if he can really mobilize this power, wouldn't it be easy to save anyone?
According to Xuan Hao's thinking, sooner or later he must control this power to save his sister, and now may be the time to take the first step.

"Give it a try, this time the bet may be a bit big..." Xuan Hao had an excited smile on his face.

He squatted down gently, stretched out his hands to stabilize the trembling body of Purgatory Shinichiro, closed his eyes and carefully felt the power in his body.

He knows that his current ability cannot drive this force, but this force is undoubtedly operating all the time.

Because his own body is always on the verge of collapse, once this force strikes, he will also be finished.

Although it is impossible to drive this force, it may be feasible to use only a little bit of 'remaining heat'.

Xuan Hao imagined that Purgatory Shinichiro was a part of his body.

He gradually covered this man with his spiritual power, trying to direct his power towards this man.

Although he knew that this was a very risky method, which would likely cause the two forces in his body to lose balance and cause him to fall into crisis, he still did it because it was a threshold that he had to cross.

To achieve your goals, you always need to take some risks.If he can never control this power, he will never be able to save his sister.

So in any case this step must be crossed!Xuan Hao's expression became extremely firm.

With the guidance of spiritual power, the power of law in the body seems to be finally willing to respond to his expectations.

The power of creation began to flow in the direction he wanted, and it only needed a little bit. It didn't take much power to repair an ordinary body.This is the thought in Xuan Hao's mind, if only a little power is allocated, the impact should not be great, right?
But the facts proved that he was still too naive.

When he started to get in touch with the body of Shinichiro Purgatory, he realized that what he had to do was not just repairs. Now Shinichiro Purgatory's entire body was about to collapse, and he had to completely reshape the man's entire body!

And this requires more than just a little 'remaining temperature' is enough.

But it seemed too late when Xuan Hao realized something was wrong.

When the power of creation began to overflow from him too much, the power of destruction instantly began to agitate like a spring that had lost its suppression.

It chased the power of creation, and rushed towards Purgatory Shinichiro together.

"Oops……"

Xuan Hao secretly thought something was wrong.

How can the body of an ordinary person withstand the struggle between these two forces?

The power of creation can repair the body of Purgatory Shinichiro, but if the power of destruction passes along with him...then this man's body will be annihilated in an instant.

At this moment, Xuan Hao's mental power was extremely concentrated.

Life or death, destruction or salvation, the fate of the man in front of him is on his mind.

The power of creation can bring this man back to life in an instant, but the power of destruction in the next moment will make this man beyond redemption.

At this moment, Xuanhao has only one thing to do, to cut off the connection between him and this man at the moment when the power of creation repairs the man's body, and prevent the power of destruction from moving forward.

There is only one moment of opportunity, and he must seize it.

Time seemed to be extended to infinity.

When that inexplicable power poured into his body, Purgatory Shinichiro only felt the darkness in front of his eyes, and the warm and soft power enveloped his body, as if he was hugged by his mother when he was born back.The whole body fluttered up and down lightly, and the senses gradually became numb and revived.

When he opened his eyes again, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and even the old wounds in his waist and abdomen were healed miraculously.

"This is?"

Purgatory Shinichiro touched his body suspiciously.

He was still struggling in pain at the last moment, and he came to heaven from hell in an instant.

Just like Xuan Hao in front of him said, if he succeeds, not only will he not die, but he will also become stronger.

"Xuan..." Purgatory Shinichiro just wanted to raise his head to thank Xuanhao, but found that Xuanhao in front of him seemed to be very strange, "What's wrong with you!? Xuanhao! Xuanhao!"

Xuan Hao was lying on the ground as if he was asleep.

……

In the space shrouded in light, Xuan Hao's soul sighed a little depressed.

"Sure enough, it has become like this again."

He looked at the surrounding environment, this place was already very familiar to him, because he had stayed in this space for 50 years.

He doesn't quite know what kind of place this is, but he probably knows that the light that surrounds him is protecting the creative power of his soul.

The light flickered, and there was a deathly blackness vaguely.This is probably the power of destruction that has been haunting him.

These two invisible forces should not be visible to the naked eye, but he can see clearly at this moment with only his soul left.

Yep, he's trapped inside again.

This creative force seemed to sense the crisis of power imbalance, and pulled his soul into this space to protect him at a critical moment.

At this moment, Xuan Hao was cut off from his body again.

"Anyway, let me explain the 'funeral affairs' first and then pull me in..."

Xuan Hao looked helplessly at the white light that enveloped him.

The connection between the soul and the body is severed, which is equivalent to death in the eyes of normal people.

He is probably dead in the eyes of others now.

Of course, he wasn't worried about being cremated because he couldn't be burned.It just felt like there was a possibility of being buried again.

"What should we do now?" Xuan Hao was a little distressed.

Originally, he should be able to feel the situation outside, but this time is completely different from before.

He was completely cut off from the outside world!
Now he can't feel anything, not even the passage of time, and he doesn't know when he will wake up.

"It seems that this time it is really a little risky." Xuan Hao was a little scared.

Originally, I thought it would be no big problem just to spare a little power to save an ordinary person, but I didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

It's all right now, I don't know how long I'm going to sleep this time...

Now is not the time for him to sleep peacefully!

The Demon Slayer Squad is suffering the biggest disaster in hundreds of years. This time the oni's attack is obviously intended to bloodbath the entire Demon Slayer Squad. If Ghost Mai Tsuji finds out that he has fallen, it will be fine!That guy has to jump into the sky?

But... this seems to be an opportunity, Xuan Hao suddenly thought, it just so happened that he couldn't find a chance to feign death, so it would be nice to just die for no reason like this?

After a while, Ghost Mai Tsuji dared to go out and he was resurrected, isn't it just right?
It's just... Xuan Hao was a little worried about his lovely apprentice and other members of the Ghost Killing Squad.

"I don't know if they can stand it?"

He knew that if he wasn't there, then the Ghost Killing Squad would be doomed for sure.

"I hope that guy from Purgatory can play a role?"

Xuan Hao can only place his hope on Shinichiro Purgatory now.The man got his blood and was born again, only stronger than before.

He thought that this Yan Zhu, who was able to fight against the second of the first string, should be strong enough to protect the safety of those people now that he had become stronger. After all, he reckoned that Gui Wu Tsuji was not very strong.

Even if Purgatory can't completely erase the ghosts from this world, it can still protect the Demon Slayer Team from being wiped out, right?Xuan Hao is not sure about this.

Because he knew that when he first met Ghost Mai Tsuji Mumi was when this guy was the weakest.The current Wu Mi has obviously returned to his peak state, and maybe he has become stronger. The gap between the ghost of Shangxian and him is definitely not a star and a half.

And he also has a black dead Mou who is one of the top strings.

Hei Si Mou's strength is not at the same level as other Shangxian ghosts. This is a ghost who can use breathing techniques, and it is the "moon's breath" second only to the "sun's breath".

If it weren't for the ability to decide Hei Si Mou's life and death with a single thought, maybe Guiwu Tsuji Wuchan himself would find Hei Si Mou difficult to deal with.

……

In the cold winter night, there are snowflakes floating in the air, and the dense snow floats chaotically between the sky and the earth.

When Xuan Hao opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he was not in the tomb.

He was lying on a warm bed at the moment, covered with a thick quilt, sparks were jumping in the stove not far away.

Xuan Hao sat up with some doubts, and found that he was wearing clean white clothes, and there was even a clean bandage inside.

It seems that someone should always take care of his body.

He got up and looked at the room he was in now.

The air is filled with a faint smell of medicine. It is still a Japanese-style wooden house, with wood from the floor to the window, but the bed he is lying on at the moment is an iron bed frame with a mattress on it.

Wait, mattresses?Xuan Hao was a little panicked, but he clearly remembered that he didn't have such a thing before he fell asleep...

"How long have I slept?"

"Gah-"

The wooden door of the room was pushed open.

A short-haired girl with a butterfly hair ornament on her head opened the door and walked in, holding a change of clothes and bandages in her hands.

As soon as she entered the door, the girl was stunned. She opened her mouth wide and looked at the man standing in the room.

Then he dropped the things in his hand and ran towards the door, shouting 'sister' while running, looking very anxious.

"What the hell?"

Xuan Hao looked at the girl running away in a daze, and unconsciously touched his face.

He's not ugly enough to scare people to run and call his family, is he?
Thinking of this, he followed slowly.

Of course, it's not to scare the girl, but to ask some questions.

The girl was wearing a black uniform. If he read it correctly, it was the uniform of the Demon Slayer Squad.

The girl who was running froze in place, because the man who was still in that room just now appeared in front of her inexplicably, she couldn't react at all, so she froze.

"Mosimoxi?"

Xuan Hao waved his hand in front of the girl, "little sister, can you tell me where this is?"

He smiled, trying to appear friendly.

"Ah!" The girl reacted and screamed.

"Sister! The man who slept for a long time woke up!"

Her shouts were so deafening that they could be heard throughout the yard.

"Excuse me, sir."

A long-haired girl who also wore a butterfly hair accessory came quickly after hearing her sister's shout, and she smiled and apologized to Xuan Hao in front of her.

"My name is Butterfly Kanae, the current Huazhu of the Demon Slayer Squad. This is my younger sister Butterfly Shinobu. She may be a little excited when she sees you suddenly wake up. Please forgive me. After all, you have... been asleep for a long time. "

Kanae pressed her sister's head and bowed her head to apologize.

And Die Ren, whose head was pressed, looked at her sister with her head down, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Uh... nothing to apologize for."

Xuan Hao waved his hand, "Can you tell me what's going on? How long did I sleep... What happened during this period?"

"This...it's a long story. Please sit down with me in the room and talk slowly, sir."

Butterfly Kanae smiled and stretched out her hand to signal, showing a very respectful appearance.

After all, she knew that the man in front of her was a very special existence.

This is a secret that only the current lord and the Pillars are qualified to know.

The number of pillars in the ghost killing team is seriously insufficient today, but as early as hundreds of years ago in the Warring States Period, there were ten.

And the most important thing is the tenth pillar. It is said that this pillar is the only one who can defeat Oni Wu Tsuji Wuyou except Ji Guoyuanyi.

Although hundreds of years have passed, people have long forgotten the name of the tenth pillar, but the Ubayashiki clan and every pillar of each post know it.

The legendary Zhu who defeated Wu Mi is called 'Ming Zhu'.

This pillar has always existed and has never been replaced. From the Warring States Period to the present, the only man known as the "Mingzhu" is this one.

"Sir, please have some tea~"

Die Die reluctantly brought the tea to the man sitting on the chair under her sister's smiling eyes, her tone full of perfunctory.

"Uh...thank you."

The corner of Xuan Hao's mouth twitched, this girl seemed to hold a grudge, and his actions before seemed to scare her.

"Ahem—" Butterfly Chanahui coughed helplessly.

"Okay, sister, let's talk, I'll slip away first."

Butterfly couldn't bear to notice her sister's gaze, so she obediently closed the door and left the room, glaring at Xuan Hao before leaving.

Xuan Hao could probably understand the meaning in that gaze, 'If you dare to mess with my sister, I will fight you hard'.

Xuan Hao looked at the girl who kept a gentle smile in front of him with some embarrassment. It was getting late, and the lonely man and the widow were in the same room, didn't it seem so good?
But the girl in front of her didn't seem to care about these details.

"Mr. Xuan Hao, I'm sorry." Butterfly Chana Hui said apologetically, "My sister has such a personality, please forgive me."

"It's okay, I won't be as familiar as a child...you know my name?"

Xuan Hao was a little surprised that the girl in front of him knew his name. He was thinking that since someone still remembered his name, it might prove that he had not been asleep for long?

"Yes, Mr. Xuanhao."

Kanae smiled and replied, "I know, you are the 'Mingzhu' of our ghost killing team, this is a secret that only the lord and you Zhuzhu know."

"Secret?" Xuan Hao was stunned for a while, but he didn't react.

"Yes, Mr. Xuanhao. As for why it's a secret...it's related to the question you asked me about how long you've been asleep, but...before I answer, I hope you can prepare yourself mentally."

Saying that, Kanae gradually put away the smile on her face, and her eyes became a little serious.

"Please... please tell me." Xuan Hao swallowed, thinking to himself, what kind of storms and waves have I never seen in my life?Asking the time actually requires mental preparation?this……

"You have been asleep for about 500 years." Kanae said seriously.

"what?"

Xuan Hao couldn't hold back anymore.

This is a bit outrageous, he has only been awake for less than 200 years!Not even half of that!

"Are you kidding me?"

"Huh?" Kanae touched her face with some doubts, isn't she acting serious enough?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xuanhao. I'm not very good at talking seriously, but I'm not joking."

Saying that, Butterfly Kanae returned to her normal smile.

"Really?" Xuan Hao still couldn't accept the reality,

"Really." Kanae smiled helplessly.

"All right……"

Xuan Hao sighed helplessly. Although he himself felt that a long time should have passed and was prepared in his heart, he really did not expect that such a long time as 500 years had passed.

What happened in the past 500 years?The people I used to know... probably aren't there anymore, right?Trapped in the power of the law, he can't feel the passage of time in the outside world at all, and can only calm down to comprehend the power of the law. Unexpectedly, for him, the whole outside world has changed in the blink of an eye.

Xiang Xuanhao suddenly felt a little sad, "Can you tell me what happened in these years?"

"Ah."

Butterfly Chanae nodded slightly.

"500 years ago, the ghost king Guiwu Tsuji Muchan once sent people to bloodbath the ghost killing team. At that time, almost all the bases of the ghost killing team were captured by the twelve ghost moons, and the pillars also suffered heavy casualties. Lord Yanzhu survived..."

"Well, I know everything up to here." Xuan Hao nodded lightly, "Then what happened next?"

"At that time, Lord Yanzhu Purgatory Shinichiro was supposed to die after turning on his markings, but at dawn, he miraculously survived..."

Butterfly Kanae couldn't help but look at the man in front of her when she spoke.

The attack that year was the biggest disaster since the establishment of the Ghost Killing Team. There were only a few people left in the Ghost Killing Team, and they had to avoid it for a long time.

If it weren't for the surviving "Pillar of Flame" Purgatory Shinichiro and Kagamikawa Maya who had survived the "Breath of the Sun" to desperately guard the inheritance of the Demon Slayer Squad, perhaps today's Demon Slayer Squad would have been extinct.

And Butterfly Chanae knew that in the records passed down by the lord's family, the two people who rescued the Ghost Killing Team back then were inextricably related to the Lord 'Ming Zhu' in front of him.

One is the 'Yanzhu' who should have died but was saved by this man, and the other is this man's apprentice.

"After the Ghost Killing Squad continued, people originally wanted to bury you and the pillars who died together, but Lord Yanzhu Purgatory Shinichiro and your apprentice firmly believed that you were not dead. Even though people at that time thought you were dead Because you have neither breath nor heartbeat, but they still firmly say that you are still alive. They firmly believe that you will wake up one day, and that will be the day when ghosts will be erased from this world forever."

"Is that so?" Xuan Hao couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Yes."

Butterfly Kanae smiled, "The lord at that time also firmly believed in this, so later every patriarch of the Ubuyashiki clan ordered the pillars to guard your body secretly. The lords all firmly believed that they once defeated Onimai Tsuji You are our hope.

Later, with the passage of time, the pillars who guarded your body found that your body has not deteriorated no matter how long it took, and everyone began to believe that maybe you are really our hope. "

"Hope? So you have been waiting for me to wake up? This wait is 500 years?" Xuan Hao sighed with emotion, feeling a little sorry for the people of the ghost killing team.

These people regarded him as hope and waited for 500 years.

"Yes," Kanae replied truthfully, "but before you really wake up, we are still skeptical, after all, it has been 500 years."

"It's normal." Xuan Hao expressed his understanding.

"But I think... Even so... your immortal body still gives us the strength to fight on, and makes us believe that there will be a day when no ghost future will come."

Butterfly Kanae's eyes suddenly became a little erratic, "Perhaps the pillars for hundreds of years have placed such hopes in order to be able to persist in fighting."

"Uh...that's an exaggeration." Xuan Hao scratched his head, "There's no need to comfort me like this."

He looked at the girl in front of him, who seemed not good at lying.These last words should be made up by the girl herself to comfort him, an old man who has been sleeping for hundreds of years.

"Ah..." Kanae, who was exposed, smiled awkwardly, "Actually, it's not consolation, I'm serious about removing the consolation!"

The girl's gaze became firm.

A hopeful future will come one day, at least she thinks so.She always believed that people can live because they have hope.

"Eh..." Xuan Hao's mouth twitched, was he serious about removing the consolation?These words sound hurtful, but this girl doesn't seem to be malicious, forget it, he doesn't need comfort anyway.

"Oh, yes!" Kanae seemed to remember something, "My lord once said that if you really wake up, I hope you can go to see him! My lord knows more than me, so it should be helpful to you. "

"Well, no problem." Xuan Hao nodded slightly.

He really should go meet the current protagonist of the Demon Slayer Squad, because killing Mumai Tsuji requires a lot of planning.

Now he can't easily appear in the ghost's sight.
