Chapter 418
Ghost Squad Headquarters.

Ubuyashiki Yoya waited respectfully outside the dojo, facing the closed gate with a dignified expression.

So far, the intensive training of the Nine Pillars of the Demon Killing Team has been completed. Butterfly Shinobi and Tomioka Yoshiyuki were sent by him to Natian Spider Mountain for support, and the other seven Pillars also returned to their respective areas of responsibility.

Yuya Ubuyashiki was a little worried.

Although Yan Zhu, who had finished training at last, mourned Yu Xingming and told him not to let anyone disturb Mr. Xuan Hao who was inside, but he was still a little worried.

The strength of the pillars who have completed the training has been strengthened visible to the naked eye, Ubuyashiki Yaoya does not believe that this is without any price.

According to the historical records of the Ubuyashiki clan, the last time Xuanhao used such a secret technique was 500 years ago, and he has been sleeping since then.

"There won't be any surprises..."

Just when Yoya Ubuyashiki was worried, an inexplicable fluctuation spread out from the closed dojo.

This is an atmosphere that makes people feel extremely warm, as refreshing as the recovery in late winter and early spring.

With the spread of the ripples, crisp seedlings grew in the soil outside the dojo, and the entire courtyard seemed to be awakened and become full of vitality.

But the vitality here didn't last long, and it began to wither after a while.

Birth, growth, aging, annihilation.

The whole courtyard seems to have experienced a cycle of life.

Yuya Ubuyashiki felt the changes in his body with some fear.

Because his body was also affected by this spreading breath, as if he had experienced his whole life again, and finally he was going to die.

His body, which was already on the verge of collapse, revived in an instant, and then rapidly aged at a speed he feared. If this continued... would he die?
Just the breath that is emitted can change the surrounding environment. Is such power really possessed by human beings?
Yuya Ubuyashiki didn't have time to think, because he felt that he would be played to death by such power in the next moment.

"Forehead?"

A voice of doubt came from the dojo.

The whole space seemed to be delayed for a second, and then, the dojo, which had been devastated by the previous training, finally completed its mission, and the old wood turned into dust like weathering.

After the dust cleared, the figure sitting cross-legged within opened his eyes.

The crimson tengu mask gradually dissipated from his face, and the bright golden pupils illuminated the entire space.

Xuan Hao glanced at Yoya Yashiki who was on the verge of collapsing under the influence of his power not far in front of him, and slowly got up.

Yuya Ubuyashiki, who was standing outside the dojo, felt that his body was frozen by some inexplicable force, and he couldn't feel anything, but he could see everything around him clearly.

His vision was unprecedentedly clear, watching the man in front of him silently walking towards him.

"This person is..."

Yuya Ubuyashiki was a little unsure of his eyes, he had seen Xuan Hao's appearance, but now...

When the tengu mask completely dissipated, what appeared in front of his eyes was an old face engraved by the years, the eyes were golden like the sun, there were gully like inscriptions on the face, and the long pale hair fluttered in the wind .

The man gently reached out and tapped his brow.

"what happened?"

Yuya Ubuyashiki couldn't help asking a question.

After making a sound from his mouth, he realized that his body seemed to be able to move, just like a normal person... Wait! ?

Normal people?
Yuya Ubuyashiki raised his hand in shock and looked at it, his vision was extremely clear, and his body became healthy?Even though he was on the verge of collapse one moment, he completely returned to normal the next moment, so normal that he felt as if he had never experienced anything before.

His body seemed to have completely forgotten the pain he had experienced, and got so used to it in an instant that he almost didn't notice it.

"It's almost like a miracle."

"It's not a miracle."

The old voice woke Yoya Ubuyashiki from his shock.

He finally realized that there was an old man who looked like a god standing in front of his eyes, and the old man was looking at him with a smile.

"You are...Mr. Xuanhao?"

"Yes, it's me."

Xuan Hao nodded slightly.

"What... happened to you?"

Yuya Ubuyashiki was a little puzzled.

This man seems to have experienced countless years at this moment.

Even though he had been asleep for 500 years, he still looked like a boy, why did he suddenly become like this... Could it be that time finally remembered this forgotten person?
"It's nothing, it's just a little improvement."

Xuan Hao shook his head with a smile and did not explain.

It is impossible for ordinary people to understand the changes that are happening to him now.

It's not that time suddenly remembered him as a fish that slipped through the net, but that he himself became what he is now.

To put it simply, he completely solved the problem between the two forces in his body.

While helping others become stronger, it is also his own cultivation, and now he finally understands how these two forces in his body can live in harmony.

It symbolizes the creation of life and the destruction of death. These two forces are diametrically opposed and regardless of strength. There is no winner between them. He has been thinking of canceling one of them before. is very stupid.

So Xuan Hao tried to make them 'reconcile', to be precise, to blend with each other to form a complete 'reincarnation'.

This is what life should be like.

His previous state of "immortality and immortality" was wrong, because it was just a state forcibly given by others.There is only "life" without "death", which is an incomplete state and a state beyond "human".

This is probably the difference between 'man' and 'god'.

Xuan Hao realized that he seemed to have two paths to go.

One is the pursuit of eternal life, immortality, eternal change, this road is very long, but the end of the road is probably to become an all-knowing and omnipotent 'God'.

This is probably what many people craved, but he immediately denied this path.

This is thanks to Wu Mi's negative teaching material. Human beings can easily lose themselves for a long time.

Xuan Hao has the feeling that if he chooses this path, even if he comes to an end, he will no longer be himself when he becomes a god.

So Xuanhao now chooses the second option - as a 'person'.

Whether it is getting old or dying, it is the beauty of this fragile life of human beings.

It is also because of getting old and dying that human beings have emotions and become noble.

Moreover, he was thinking that the term "powerful" does not seem to be unique to "God", and as we all know that "Divinity" is a debuff, this thing is undesirable.

So he doesn't want to be an all-knowing and omnipotent god, he just wants to be an 'ordinary' person.

Originally, Xuan Hao would never have a second way to go.

Because his path was almost doomed since the "god" empowered him, and he, who was left with only "life", might only be able to become the next "god" in the end according to the predetermined track.

But it was different now, he got another power from other places, and this power made up for his missing part.

Now that the two forces have formed a complete 'samsara', he has successfully embarked on his own path.

He will die, but what awaits him after death is not nothing but new life.

His soul will be reincarnated in destruction and creation, and the concept of life and death is no longer important to him. Even after his body dissipates, he will be reborn somewhere in a certain world.

This is the real 'immortality'.

······
Yuya Ubuyashiki looked at the old man who was looking up at the night sky.

For some reason, the person in front of him gave him a completely different feeling than before.

If it was impossible to see through before, then now...it looks very ordinary?
Do not.In an instant, Yoya Ubuyashiki denied such absurd idea.

Because he just walked through life and death because of this man, and now his feet are still annihilated withered grass.

In the icy moonlight, life seems to turn into dust and dissipate with the slightest breeze.

How can a guy who can dominate his life with his own will be an ordinary person?

"Did anything happen during this time?"

After a long time, the old man in front of him asked softly.

"Eh..." Yuya Misabura Shiki was stunned, "I came here to tell you that the boy you asked us to take care of before seems to be involved in trouble."

"What's the trouble?"

"Twelfth Ghost Month."

Yuya Ubuyashiki calmed down quickly, and answered truthfully after sorting out his thoughts.

"The swordsmen sent by the Demon Slayer Squad to Nata Spider Mountain were killed. Tanjiro happened to be nearby, so he received the distress signal from the crow, and he should have entered the mountain by now."

"Is that so..."

Xuan Hao nodded lightly and walked towards the far door leisurely, his movements were slow and he really looked like an ordinary old man.

But Yoya Ubuyashiki's eyes were blurred.

"Give me that knife..."

It took a long time for the distant voice to reach Yoya Yashiki's ears, he stared blankly at the empty yard, everything was as usual, if it wasn't because the old man turned into dust in the dojo just now, he even felt as if something happened Neither happened.

far away.

Soon Yashiki Yaoya came out of the trance, he looked at the old figure waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and his body moved quickly.

This young man, who was originally seriously ill, ran into the mansion at a brisk pace at this moment, scaring his wife and children into thinking he was dreaming.

At the gate of the courtyard, after Xuan Hao confirmed the direction, Yoya Ubuyashiki also sent the long-sealed Japanese sword.

"Mr. Xuanhao, do you want to..."

Yuya Ubuyashiki's tone was a little excited.

The man grasped the saber, and held the extraordinary solar saber.

"Let's go and see first."

Xuan Hao pinned the Rilun Saber on his waist and smiled lightly.

He knew what the young man in front of him was thinking, nothing more than wanting to die tragically.

He does have the same idea, it's just that his priorities are different.

Miserable life and death are far less important than Nezuko.

"Don't you need to wear a mask?" Yoya Ubuyashiki asked hesitantly, seeing that the old man in front of him seemed to want to leave just like that.

"Can you still know me?"

Xuan Hao turned around and asked back with a smile.

"..."

Yuya Ubuyashiki was stunned for a moment, and fell silent as he looked at the face of an old man who was about to die.

This old man has a warm smile on his face, and his feeling and appearance are completely different from before. If it weren't for the sun wheel knife on his waist, people who saw him would probably regard him as an ordinary and amiable man. old man.

······
"Hu-hu-hu-"

A quick gasp came from the wild boar hood.

Inosuke hid behind a thick tree and frantically scratched his pig's head.

"Damn it! I want to hide in such a place! If Tanjirou and Zenitsu see it, they will die of laughter!"

That's right, he was always as brave as him, but he actually hid.

The reason is also very simple, but reckless.

Although he was a little reluctant to admit it, Inosuke did meet someone more reckless than himself this time.

"That burly spider-headed ghost is too tough! It can't be cut, it can't be cut at all! What should I do? What should I do?"

"call--"

Just as he was thinking, a howling wind gave him another warning sign.

"Grass!"

Inosuke rolled instinctively.

Accompanied by a violent bang, the tree he was hiding in was violently broken.

"hateful!"

Inosuke scolded while running.

He found that he seemed to be really not good at thinking, and it was almost impossible for him to come up with any tactics.

With a single thread, he only came up with two solutions.

Either go up and fight directly, or wait for Tanjiro to come back and fight together.

#!

##! !
As soon as he thought of this, Inosuke realized something was wrong, and veins popped up on his forehead.

"No! No! When did I need that guy's help! Is my brain flooded!?"

"Whoo-"

There was a sudden sound of foot brakes.

Inosuke who was sprinting suddenly stopped.

With two knives in hand, he turned around aggressively.

"Damn bastard, what a shame! I almost became an idiot like Tanjiro! Am I the one who fights with my brain?"

As he said that, the chasing ghost approached.

Inosuke no longer hesitated, and slashed at the oncoming ghost.

"puff--"

As expected, it failed to cut in.

The sawtoothed sun wheel knife was blocked by the ghost's hard arm, and even with all his strength, he could only cut into a third of the place.

"Then try this trick!"

Inosuke roared angrily and raised his other hand.

This is his method of combat, simple and brutal.

If you keep cutting with one knife, then strike again!

"Chong-"

There was a crisp sound of hammering iron, and the second knife Inosuke slashed staggered on the back of the other knife. The blade that was originally submerged in a third suddenly exerted force again, and the superimposed force finally cut it off. The arm that the ghost used to block.

"Hahaha! It's finally cut off!"

Inosuke yelled excitedly.

"..."

The spider-headed ghost hesitated looking at the jagged section of his arm, then turned and ran.

"Damn it! Don't run away!"

Inosuke chased after him without hesitation, but he didn't realize a serious problem.

That is, he almost exhausted all his strength to cut off one arm of this ghost, but ghosts can regenerate!

The difference in strength between the two is visible to the naked eye. Obviously, he made a wrong judgment.
