A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 385 378. Overlapping pictures

Day two.

Somewhere in an old house.

In the courtyard of the ancient house, the pine trees are covered with pure white snow, and the branches bent by the heavy snow in the cold wind are crumbling and seem to be broken at any time.

A young man in a white robe is sitting under the eaves, looking at a vast white world, thinking about something.

He is the current protagonist of the Demon Slayer Squad - Yoya Ubuyashiki.

At this time, Yoya Miyayashiki was still a handsome boy in his teens, but his forehead had faintly visible purple-black veins emerging.This is the curse of the family. Hundreds of years have passed, and it still hasn't been improved.

But at this moment, Yoya Yashiki was in an unusually happy mood, even though the sky was full of frost and snow in front of his eyes, he still had a smile on his face.

Because the man woke up and came to him.

Ubuyashiki Yoya cast his eyes on the man standing in the snowstorm.

He had seen this long face since he could remember, and he should be very familiar with it now, but it was the first time he saw this man's eyes open.

'This man named Xuanhao may be the hope of the Ghost Slayer Squad. ’ It’s something that his father has carved into his memory since he was a child.

According to my father, this is a prophecy handed down by the ancestors of the Yuyashiki clan hundreds of years ago. When this man wakes up, the era of "ghosts" will come to an end.

But no one knows when this man will wake up, because he has been asleep for hundreds of years, and even Guiwu Tsuji thought that this man was dead.

To be honest, Yoya Ubuyashiki never thought that he would be able to see the day when this man woke up, because in a few years his life would have reached its limit, and he could only pass on the hope to future generations.

But what is pleasing is that this man woke up and was right in front of him at this moment!
"Mr. Xuanhao...can I call you that?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya asked softly, his gentle tone made people feel at ease.

"Ah."

Xuan Hao looked at the young Miyayashiki Patriarch in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

500 years have passed, but the Ubuyashiki clan still bears the same fate.

Yuya Ubuyashiki smiled and invited Xuan Hao to come in and sit down, and the two sat at the table looking at each other for a long time.

Xuan Hao carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

Looking at the young man in front of him who was only in his teens.For some reason, it always gave him a special feeling. This boy's voice seemed to have a magic power that could comfort people's hearts. Not only that, but the smiling eyes of this boy looking at him at this moment made him feel a little familiar.

Xuan Hao couldn't help but think of a person - Ji Guo Yuan Yi!That's right, it's the kind of eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

"What's your name?"

"Yuzai Ubuyashiki."

Yuya Ubuyashiki bowed slightly and bowed to the man in front of him.

No one knows what kind of existence this man is, but the only thing that is certain is that he is not a ghost but the hope of mankind.

It has been over a thousand years since Ghost Wu Tsuji appeared, and besides Ji Guo Yuanyi, this man is the only one who has ever defeated Wu Mi.

Originally, everyone thought that this man would meet the same fate as Ji Guoyuanyi.

But as if by God's will, this human hope did not die of old age, but fell into a long deep sleep, waiting for today's awakening.

The Ubuyashiki clan has always believed that this man will wake up one day, maybe this man is sent by heaven to end Onimai Tsuji's tragic crime.

And now, Ubuyashiki Yoya firmly believes that it must be like this.

"'Mingzhu', Mr. Xuanhao."

Ubuyashiki Yoya murmured the title and name of the man in front of him, and there seemed to be a gleam of light in his eyes that had become cloudy due to the bad disease.

"The dawn without ghosts, the sunrise beyond the millennium, may be coming soon. Presumably the ancestors hoped for such a day before entrusting such a title to you?"

Actually... I got this name because I often watch the dawn with ghosts.Xuan Hao wanted to tell the truth, but seeing the hopeful eyes of the young man in front of him, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

What kind of obsession is this?

500 years have passed, and these people have been fighting with this hope until now.

Although Xuan Hao, who was trapped in the power of the law, could not feel what was happening outside, but in the past 500 years, the Ubayashiki clan had kept his body guarded by the pillars, as if they were enshrining the gods. .

Xuan Hao felt that he seemed to have failed the expectations of these people. After all, if he could never wake up, then everything the Ubuyashiki clan did would be meaningless.

"Sorry, I've been asleep for so long."

"No, you don't need to apologize, Mr. Xuanhao. The reason why we have fought so far is not only for you, but also for our own future." Yoya Miyashiki shook his head with a smile, his cloudy eyes seemed to see through Xuanhao's thoughts .

"Also, if it wasn't for Mr. Xuan Hao, the Ghost Killing Squad might not be able to continue to this day."

"No, you think too highly of me." Xuan Hao smiled helplessly, "Even without me, I believe that everyone in the Ghost Killing Squad can survive that disaster."

There is no reason for a group of people who fight with awareness to lose to a coward like Onimai Tsuji.

To Xuan Hao's modest words, Ubuyashiki Yoya just smiled.

After a long time, he finally spoke again, "Now that Mr. Xuanhao has woken up, what are you going to do?"

After exchanging pleasantries, the two finally got to the point.

"How to do it? Anyway... I'm going to observe for a while." Xuan Hao replied after a moment of thought, "After all, I don't know the current situation. come out?"

"Although it's not like he never showed up like hundreds of years ago, he rarely appears in the field of vision of human beings. At least we haven't met him for a long time. None of the pillars today have the experience of fighting Wu Mi "Yuya Ubuyashiki replied softly.

"In this way... even if I disappeared for 500 years, is that guy still so cautious?" Xuan Hao had a headache, thinking how cowardly a coward is?Are you still wary of him, a person who has been 'dead' for 500 years, fraudulently?

"Oh, yes, but it can't be all his fault."

Saying this, Yuya Ubuyashiki suddenly smiled, as if thinking of something happy.

"Oh? Did something happen?" Xuan Hao asked.

"This is your credit, Mr. Xuanhao." Yuya Ubuyashiki said with a smile, "When the Demon Slayer Squad was bloodbathed, Kimai Tsuji was vigilant about your existence and dared not show up in person, so he only released Twelve Demon Moons , Originally, the ghost killing team was at an absolute disadvantage, and even Zhu had only one left.

But because of you, Lord Yanzhu Purgatory Shinichiro, who was reborn, has grown in strength, and your apprentice Kagamikawa Maya-sama has also grown up.

According to the records left by the ancestors, the combined strength of these two adults may already be close to that of Ji Guo Yuan Yi.The Twelve Ghost Moons subordinated by Mumai Onimai Tsuji suffered heavy losses, and almost all of them were defeated by these two adults except for one of the upper strings. The Wumai Onimai Tsuji, who dared not show up, had to stop the attack on the ghost killing team. The decisive battle finally came to an end. "

"That is to say... so it's not that you guys hid from Guiwu Tsuji, but beat that guy until he shrank again?" Xuan Hao was a little ashamed.

"No, the Demon Killing Squad was indeed hit hard..." Yoya Ubuyashiki shook his head regretfully, "Almost all the pillars at that time were killed in the attack that night, if it weren't for those two big men who turned the tide, it might have been true." It's very difficult. Even with the help of those two adults, the strength of our ghost killing team has not really recovered until recently."

"I see."

Xuan Hao nodded thoughtfully, it seems that in this war between humans and ghosts, neither side could take advantage of it... No, generally speaking, it is still the human side that suffers the most.

Because for Ghost Mai Tsuji, it is too easy to create new ghosts, but a strong human must go through all kinds of training to truly grow up.

"So what happened after that? The two of them..."

"Mr. Xuanhao... the lifespan of human beings is very short." Yoya Ubuyashiki shook his head regretfully.

"Um……"

Although he already had the answer in his heart, Xuan Hao still felt a little sad after all.

"So, did they leave any descendants?"

Ubayashiki nodded slightly upon hearing the words, "The Purgatory Clan has been the pride of our Demon Killing Team ever since, and the position of 'Flame Pillar' will always be reserved for them. It's just...the 'Flame Pillar' of this session is because For some reason, I have kept myself locked at home and refused to come out."

"What happened?" Xuan Hao was a little puzzled.

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but I think it should have something to do with the death of 'Yan Zhu''s wife." Miyashiki Yoya smiled helplessly, as if he didn't want to blame this Yan Zhu who was not doing his job properly.

"Yeah." Xuan Hao nodded lightly, the pain of losing his beloved is indeed heavy, "So is the position of 'Pillar of Flame' vacant now?"

"Yes." Yoya Ubuyashiki replied truthfully, "But there will probably be someone who will take over the position of 'Flame Pillar' soon."

"You already have someone in mind?"

"Yes, the eldest son of the Purgatory family, Purgatory Kyojuro." Ubuyashiki Yoya couldn't help but smile when he mentioned the name, "That's a very good boy, he will definitely become the new hope of the Demon Slayer Squad."

"Yeah." Xuan Hao nodded lightly, "Then what about the other person? My apprentice..."

Ubuyashiki Yoya was stunned, "Ka Kagamikawa..."

"What's wrong with her?" Xuan Hao asked.

"No, she's fine." Yoya Ubuyashiki shook his head slightly, "It's just that Master Kagamikawa didn't seem to leave a legacy, she said that the 'breath of the sun' was the breathing method that was targeted by Musai Kimai Tsuji, she didn't want anyone met a tragic fate..."

"That's it, it really looks like something that girl would do." Xuan Hao smiled helplessly.

"Master Jia Shenchuan also said..."

Saying this, Ubuyashiki Yoya got up.

He dragged his tired-looking body into the back room, and after a while, he took out a delicate long box from the back room.

"The inheritance of 'Breath of the Sun' will never be broken, because she believes that her most respected teacher will wake up one day."

Yuya Ubuyashiki held the box in front of Xuan Hao with both hands.

Xuan Hao lifted the lid hesitantly.

He had probably figured out what was inside.

This is the knife that Ji Guoyuan once gave to himself, and it is also the knife that he gave to this girl.

This ancient sun wheel knife has been lying in the box for an unknown number of years, and it has reappeared in the world like a guide of fate.

"Is this knife... still usable?"

"Of course, every once in a while, they will be sent to the swordsmith's village for maintenance." Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled.

This is the only thing their clan can do, and it is also their mission.

Swordsmen fight for humanity, and they are responsible for remembering what matters, the names of everyone who has fought for humanity and the hope they pass on.

Xuan Hao caressed the Sun Wheel Knife, but the cold handle seemed to be able to feel the remaining warmth from hundreds of years ago.

But eventually, he refastened the box.

Because now is not the time for this knife to be unsheathed again.

This knife should be regarded as a shadow in Guiwu Tsuji's heart, right?If it reappears in the world, it will scare this coward.

"Mr. Xuanhao, I will leave the knife to you. As for when to use it, I think you have your own arrangements."

Yuya Ubuyashiki smiled and put the tightly closed wooden box into Xuan Hao's hand.

"Well, thank you."

Xuan Hao carried the slender wooden box on his back.

"Then I'll take my leave."

"Yeah." Yuya Ubuyashiki nodded slightly, "Mr. Xuan Hao, please don't appear in the sight of ghosts for the time being."

"I understand." Xuan Hao nodded slightly.

"By the way, if possible...Mr. Xuanhao can go and see this kid from Purgatory Kyojuro," Ubuyashiki said with a smile, "He is now a 'A' level swordsman, and I will let you know for the final selection of this session. He's in charge."

"'Final Selection'? Good."

Xuan Hao froze for a moment, but did not refuse.

Anyway, he just intends to wander around casually to get acquainted with the environment of the world today. After all, 500 years have passed and there should be considerable changes. For this strange world, it doesn't matter where he goes first.

After leaving Yoya Shiki's residence, Xuan Hao returned to 'Butterfly House'.

Butterfly House is the mansion where the two girls with butterfly hair ornaments lived, and it is also the sanatorium of the Ghost Killing Squad.

Everything here is in charge of 'Style' Butterfly Kanae.

These two sisters are also responsible for taking care of Xuan Hao's body in recent years.

Of course, not all swordsmen have the same preferential treatment as Xuan Hao, who can be taken care of by Hua Zhu himself and his own sister in turn.

Xuanhao is a special case. His ward is separated from other swordsmen. The lord has specially ordered to take good care of him, so only Sister Butterfly is the only one who takes care of him. Few of the others even know that Butterfly Juli has such a special patients.

As for the common patients...

The kind-hearted Kanae has taken in many orphans left by the swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Squad in the Butterfly Center. When she is too busy on weekdays, the task of taking care of other patients falls on these children.

The problems caused by this are also obvious. Xuan Hao was stopped in the yard before returning to Butterfly Residence.

Because he doesn't wear the uniform of the Ghost Killing Squad, and most people here don't know him.

"who are you?"

A girl who also wore a butterfly hair accessory and twin ponytails stood in front of Xuan Hao, blocking the door to prevent this strange man from entering.

The girl was sweeping the yard with a broom in her hand, but now she was frowning and staring at the man who suddenly barged in before her.

Xuan Hao was a little embarrassed, he seemed to have frightened the little girl when he came in suddenly, the girl saw that he didn't have the uniform of the Ghost Slayer Squad and he didn't look like a patient and refused to let him in.

"Little sister, I'm not a bad person."

"That's what the bad guys say!" The girl with the twin ponytails stared at him warily.

"Um... I'm a member of the Ghost Killing Squad." Xuan Hao explained.

"No! The members of the Ghost Slayer Squad, whether they are swordsmen or yin, have special uniforms!" The girl didn't seem to be so easy to fool.

"I just came out of here, so no uniform..."

"You liar! I've never seen you here!"

"..."

Come and save me... Xuan Hao felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he had never felt so powerless when facing the enemy.

"Pfft-"

Laughter came from behind, and the person who heard the laughter seemed to be unbearable.

Xuan Hao followed the prestige.

"Oops, exposed."

Butterfly watched the emaciated man turn his head back, and felt his head retracted behind the tree.

But she still seems to be a step behind.

"Butterfly bear, right?"

Xuan Hao had already arrived behind the tree where she was hiding, and blocked her here with a helpless expression.

"You...what do you want?"

Butterfly Shinobu knew that he had done something wrong, and seemed a little guilty.

In fact, my sister told her to remember to take this man in when she saw this man coming back.

But this man had frightened her before, she was still a little dissatisfied in her heart, and... I don't know why, my sister has to respect this man so much?Her proudest sister is the 'pillar' of the Ghost Slayer Squad.

So... just seeing this man's embarrassing look, she planned to read the joke first, but she didn't expect this man to be so perceptive, she obviously laughed very softly!

"I... don't want to do anything."

Xuan Hao looked helplessly at this carefree girl.

He didn't understand why there was such a big gap between sisters...

The kid's older sister seemed gentle and polite, and the girl...

"Bastard! What are you doing!"

The girl with two ponytails in the yard was chasing after her. She chased Xuan Hao to the back of the tree, and saw that sister Ninja was being blocked and leaned against the tree as if she was being bullied, so she started calling the man in front of her a badass.

"Hey... don't you plan to explain it? Miss Ninja?" Xuan Hao sighed helplessly.

"Is there anything to explain..." Butterfly resisted in a low voice.

"Ok?"

Butterfly couldn't bear to hear Xuan Hao's doubts, but he was in a bad mood, and was heard again, why is this guy's ears so good?
"Ha ha……"

She smiled and said haha, "Xiao Kui, this is a misunderstanding, this gentleman is my sister's guest."

"Oh? Is that so?" The girl called Xiaokui was taken aback for a while, and then quickly realized, "I'm sorry!"

"It's okay...a good boy who corrects his mistakes when he knows his mistakes." Seeing the little girl admitting her mistakes so sincerely, Xuan Hao smiled, "Look at how polite this child is?"

There was something in his words, he squatted down lightly, and stroked Xiao Kui's head, "Good boy, what's your name?"

"My name is Aoi Kanzaki, I'm sorry, big brother!" Aoi's voice sounded very energetic.

"Yeah, remember big brother's face next time."

Xuan Hao pointed at his face, feeling very comfortable. This kid calls him Big Brother, he is really a promising kid.

"Yeah!" Aoi Kanzaki nodded seriously.

Butterfly squeezed out the '#' sign on his forehead.

But she still could only invite this man to enter the mansion in a gentle tone.

"Okay, sir, please come into the house with me, my sister is still waiting for you to come back."

"Pfft—it's okay, it's okay," Xuan Hao couldn't hold back, "You don't have to bear it so hard, I'm not such a stingy person."

"Humph!"

Butterfly snorted coquettishly, with an expression of I believe you.

She shook her head and led the way, not wanting to see this man's face at all.

"Xiao Ren, are you rude again?"

Butterfly Kanae looked at the expression on her sister's face and probably knew what happened.

She apologetically apologized to the man who followed her sister into the house, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xuanhao."

"No, it's all right, very energetic child." Xuan Hao smiled and waved his hands, he seemed to have found a way to deal with Butterfly Ninja.

"Really? Isn't that right? This is exactly the advantage of my Shinobi." Butterfly Kanae agreed with Xuan Hao's words very much, as if forgetting that she was apologizing, with a gentle smile on her face.

Very lively...kid! ?Butterfly listened to the interaction between the two with some blue veins on his forehead.

"elder sister……"

"Okay, okay, Xiaoren, you go out first, I have something to discuss with Mr. Xuanhao alone."

Saying that, Kanae pushed her sister's shoulders to the door with a smile on her face.

Then, she turned around and asked the man in front of her with a smile, "Has Mr. Xuanhao met the lord?"

"I have seen."

Xuan Hao nodded slightly, and put down the wooden box on his back.

"He told me a lot about the past."

"So what is Mr. Xuan Hao planning to do next?"

Kanae's expression became a little more serious.

She clearly understood the meaning of the next action the man in front of her would take.

Legend has it that this is the person who defeated Oni Mai Tsuji, and it is a miracle that this man can talk to her face to face like this now.

A legend that has been sleeping for 500 years is now awakened.

There is a miraculous hope in front of her eyes... If possible, she hopes that this man can truly bring peace to this world, so that more children will not suffer the same suffering as her sisters and the children in the butterfly.

"I don't have any special plans for the time being, because... Ghost Dance Tsuji Wuyou hasn't appeared yet." Xuanhao understood the meaning in Kanae's eyes, but he couldn't promise the girl now, "You should understand, if Ghost Dance Tsuji will not come out knowing that I am still alive."

"Hmm..." Kanae nodded lightly, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but there was no way around it, "Then Mr. Xuanhao plans to hide for a while?"

"Well, yes, please keep this box for me first. One day, I will need it. I will come to get it from you then." Xuan Hao handed the box to Kanae in front of him.

"This is..." Kanae asked with some doubts.

"Sunlun Knife." Xuan Hao replied, "I don't need it right now."

"Well, I see, I will keep it safe."

Kanae nodded slightly.The eyes are very firm.

She understood that this was probably a promise, that one day, when the knife was unsheathed, her wish would come true.

"Also, I would like to ask you to prepare a 'hidden' uniform for me." Xuan Hao said again.

"You want to..." Kanae's eyes lit up, as if she understood the intention of the man in front of her.

……

into the night.

Xuan Hao changed into Yin's clothes, covered his appearance and started to act.

He found the location of Teng Shishan according to his past memory.

The environment here remains unchanged as before, like a corner that is truly guarded by gods. Even in the cold winter night, there are still wisterias blooming all over the fields here, and even the wind and snow in the sky have never approached here.

He walked all the way to the top of the mountain along the mountain road full of wisteria flowers.

The 'Final Selection' had started a few days ago, and it was already the last night.

When Xuan Hao reached the top of the mountain, a familiar picture imprinted in his mind.

It was the same scene as it was 500 years ago.

With hair burning like flames, there is an eight-point similar figure standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the mountain.

"Purgatory..."

Xuan Hao couldn't help calling out the name.

The boy whose name was called seemed to have heard the call as well.

The boy turned around slightly, looking at the 'Yin' behind him with some doubts.

"Excuse me, do you know me?"

Purgatory Kyojuro scratched his head, every member of the Yinbu wore the same face scarf, and he knew not many members of the Yinbu.

"Forehead……"

Xuan Hao stared at the boy who turned his head for a moment.

Of course it is impossible to kill someone he used to know, this young man is not even a "pillar" at this moment, nor is he wearing the flame feather weave which is the symbol of Yanzhu.

It's just...the backs are really too similar, no, they are exactly the same, especially the long flame-colored hair, which seems to be carved out of the same mold.

"No, I don't know Master Swordsman...it's just that your hair makes me feel very familiar."

"Hahaha..." Xing Shoulang smiled heartily, "It's okay, it's okay! People often say that our family's hair color is weird! It must be because our ancestors ate too much fried shrimp!"

The boy didn't blame Yin in front of him, but joked about his hair color, his hearty smile was as warm as a flame.

"It really looks alike..." Xuan Hao muttered to himself.

However, Xingshou Lang didn't hear his whisper, but focused his attention on the valley below Fujishi Mountain.

Tonight was the last day of the 'final selection', and his 'disciple' was also among the participants. As it got to the end, he couldn't let go of his mind.

Even though the selection this time went unexpectedly smoothly.

Yes, the selection went smoothly this time, so smooth that he was a little worried.

Because so far, none of the swordsmen who participated in the selection had any accidents.

This appears to have happened only once in history.

The same situation as now has appeared in the records of the purgatory family.

Lord Purgatory Shinichiro, who was the pillar of flame that year, also guarded the mountain.

That year also no swordsmen died at the hands of ghosts.

But there is a prerequisite for this.

Because someone took action to prevent the accident that happened at the last minute.

It is said that in the selection that year, a ghost who came from nowhere appeared in the end!
Purgatory Xingshourou had a rare frown on his face.

He looked down the mountain with some concern.

Xuan Hao at the side also took a step forward, and cast his gaze on the same.

"Master Swordsman, is there any accident?"

"No, hahaha." Purgatory Xingshourou showed a reassuring smile, "This year's selection went very smoothly, so far no accident has happened to any participant."

"Did no one have an accident..."

Xuan Hao followed Xing Shou Lang's gaze down.

The expression under the scarf froze.

Because following Xing Shoulang's gaze, he saw a girl with even weirder hair color.

The long pink hair has lush emerald green at the end. Xuan Hao has never seen such hair color before. Of course, this is not what attracts him, because the more striking part of this girl is the undulating waves on her chest.

His eyes became a little surprised. Didn't expect Purgatory family to have this genetic gene?Shinichiro, your descendants have a future, and they actually like this type?
Seemingly noticing Xuanhao's strange eyes moving back and forth between the girl and himself, Purgatory Xingshoulang asked with some doubts, "Does this gentleman know my disciple?"

"Disciple?" Xuan Hao was puzzled.

"Hahaha, yes, Amroji Mitsuri, my disciple." Kyojuro smiled and pointed to the conspicuous figure below, "After passing the final selection, she will be the real swordsman of the Demon Slayer Squad."

Son, oh no, why is your pectoralis major so exaggerated?Xuan Hao looked at Xing Shoulang's hearty smile and felt that he seemed to be wrong. Judging by the innocent appearance of this child, he shouldn't be an LSP, huh?No, in that case, the sp is actually me! ?

"Sir, can you clearly see the actions of the swordsmen below?" Xing Shoulang didn't focus on the woman at all, on the contrary he was curious about the Yin in front of him.

It is not easy to see the figures of the swordsmen shuttling through the woods clearly. He is very aware of how excellent his disciples are. Ganluji Mitsuri's physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people, and his speed is naturally faster than ordinary people Many, it is even more surprising to be able to see clearly.

"Uh... a little bit, I can see a little bit." Xuan Hao scratched his head in embarrassment, he was hiding now, low-key, low-key.

"That's it, hahaha..."

Xing Shoulang smiled and nodded, since this person didn't want to talk, he didn't ask any more.

And now is not the time to ask these questions.

Xing Shoulang focused his attention on the valley again.

This time, his eyes were not on Ganluji Mitsuri, but frowning at a faster figure.

Xuan Hao also cast his eyes again, because the scene in front of him was too familiar to him.

Such a similar scene is almost like an arrangement of fate.

His eyes moved in the mountains, as if he wanted to find someone.

But the final result disappointed him.

It is indeed a similar scene, it can be said that it is exactly the same as 500 years ago.

The reason why the selection went so smoothly this time was also because someone replaced everyone and moved forward with heavy burdens.

But this time it was a young man.

A boy with orange hair, impressively wearing a fox mask on his face, with a scar-like pattern painted on the right cheek of the mask.

The figure of the young man shuttled back and forth in the woods, and no one seemed to be able to keep up with his footsteps, because wearing a mask, no one knew whether he was panting from exhaustion.

People can only see the light of his sword constantly waving in the woods, and the ghosts falling under his sword and drifting away with the wind.

"Hu-hu-"

The breath continued to exhale from Satu's mouth, and it slapped on the mask to make a sound.

But actually he didn't feel very tired.

Because the breathing method he learned is "water breathing", water is endless, and this breathing method makes his physical strength as fine and long as spring water.

In addition, the ghosts here are really not very strong, so he didn't feel tired.

There is no doubt that he is the strongest among the swordsmen participating in the selection.

"It's coming to an end soon, and we can't take it lightly."

Satoshi thought to himself.

The pace under his feet did not stop, and the blade in his hand was still waving.

Because he has someone to protect.

This time, there were two younger brothers and sisters who followed him to participate in the selection.

These two children are not as strong as him, they must be protected!Thinking of this, Sato quickened his pace again.

"No. 30 Seven..."

Counting the numbers silently in his heart, Sato's eyes locked on a ghost that appeared in his field of vision.

The ghost also seemed to have seen the oncoming humans.

A ferocious smile appeared on the ghost's face, and the corner of his mouth was licked with a snake-like tongue.

It excitedly rushed towards the human in front of it, waved its hands with sharp nails, and opened its mouth wide.

Looking at that posture, it seemed that he wanted to pick up this human being and stuff it directly into his mouth.

Its tongue is covered with barbs, as long as it is licked, it may not be able to escape.

Satoshi didn't dodge when he saw the oncoming ghost, his eyes under the mask were calm.

"tread--"

Sabito's steps are as light as stepping on a wave.

"Water Breathing, Four Shapes, Hitting Tide!"

The blade slashed at the oncoming ghost like hitting a wave.

Before the ghost could react, a neat line of blood appeared on its neck. Its entire body was cut in half by the Sun Wheel Knife. The blood seemed to have reacted only now and flew out from the severed part.

The scattered blood didn't have time to catch up with the boy's back, and the boy with the knife didn't stop just because he killed the ghost.

"That boy is very strong!" Xing Shoulang saw Xuan Hao's eyes also noticed the boy he had been paying attention to for a long time, and said with some admiration, "From the beginning of the selection to now, that boy has rushed to the front every night to kill ghosts, Protecting other people in the valley, until now, the ghosts in the mountains have almost been killed."

"Um……"

Xuan Hao replied lightly.

Another 'fool', but it seems that there is no accident this time. This time, none of the ghosts here can beat this boy...

Xing Shoulang and Xuan Hao's attention was focused on this boy, and they didn't notice what was happening in a certain corner.

"Ahhh!!!—"

"Run, run! Why did such a strong ghost appear!?"

A swordsman screamed and ran, stumbled and even lost his knife.

And behind him, an unusually huge alien ghost was chasing him with a dead body.

The ghost was covered with thick arms, as if the whole body was made of these arms.

The ghost slowly stretched out its hand, and at the same time as it stretched out its hand, the arms coiled around its body began to shift, and the arms became entangled together to extend its arm span.

It was about to catch the fleeing swordsman.

"puff--"

A blade flashed, and the outstretched hand was cut off.

The fleeing swordsman didn't seem to notice all this, and ran without looking back.

A petite figure appeared in front of the ghost.

This is a short-haired girl with dark green pupils in a printed kimono. She also wears a mask on her face, but it doesn't block that cute cheek, but hangs on the side like a hair accessory.

Her name is Makoto.

Mako held the Sun Wheel Saber in both hands, gritted his teeth lightly, and looked at the ghost in front of him solemnly.

"Are you coming again? My cute little fox~"

The hand ghost seemed to have given up on chasing the fleeing swordsman, but locked his eyes on the girl in front of him.

There was a look of joy in its eyes, and it seemed to be very excited.

"Little fox, how many years is Meiji now?"

"!? Now is... the Taisho Era."

Makoto answered the hand ghost's question.

She could feel that this ghost was extraordinary, maybe she was not the opponent of this ghost, so she was thinking of a way while delaying time.

"??!!"

For some reason, after hearing Zhenmu's answer, Hand Ghost suddenly became extremely excited, and the joy in his eyes turned into anger in an instant.

"Taisho? Even the era! Even the era has changed!?"

"Ahhhh-"

It was trembling with excitement, and the arms wrapped around its body kept scratching its body, dripping with blood.

"It's changed again! It's changed again! During the years when I was imprisoned in this ghost place, the year name has changed again!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa than.

"Lin Taki! Damn Lin Taki!"

"How do you know the teacher's name?"

Makoto looked at the ghost with some surprise.

"How would I know?" Hand Ghost laughed angrily, "Of course I know! How could I forget who brought me to such a ghostly place!? How could I forget that bastard Lin Taki?"

"I'll never forget it! That was 39 years ago...that bastard Rin Taki was still fighting on the front line, in the Edo period, when the era name was Qingying!"

"No...how is this possible?"

Zhenmo's face turned pale. There can't be such a long-lived ghost on this mountain. The most imprisoned in the final selection assessment site are only ghosts who have eaten one or two weak people!
The strength of a ghost will become stronger with the number of people it eats. If this ghost really lived for so many years... how many people should it eat?

"Impossible? How is it impossible?" Hand Ghost smiled again, "Hahaha——I just like to see your surprised eyes. I remember that a little fox like you also showed this kind of expression last time." The look in your eyes is so nice! Hahahahaha—"
