Chapter 427

At this time, a mirror-like full moon hung in the sky, and the sea of ​​trees beside the track fluctuated with the night breeze.

The sky is hazy, and the skylight, cloud, moon and sea of ​​trees reflect each other, adding a touch of coolness to the world.

Count the time, the dawn will come soon.

But the figures on the top of the tree still have no plans to retreat.

They are ghosts, the ghosts of the bow, but even so, they will still die if they are exposed to the sunlight of dawn, but they have no other chance.

If they can't kill the target that the lord said before dawn, they still can't survive.

"Kangdang——Kangdang..."

The swaying train is still running, but it looks a little shaky, and it seems that it may rush off the track at any time.But whenever the train is about to rush off the track, it will always be stabilized by some powerful force.

Countless weird and thick limbs rioted inside and outside the train, but they couldn't disturb the figure on the top of the train at all.

"The night is fine, and tonight is also very lively." Xuan Hao murmured.

He walked slowly towards the front of the car, and those limbs that were close to him were annihilated strangely.

As the train moved, it got closer and closer to those few ghosts who couldn't even hide their breath.

This was a premeditated ambush, but these ghosts probably didn't know that their companions had already taken a step ahead, leaving behind only a huge unconscious body that didn't distinguish between friend and foe.And waiting for them on this train is the house of death.

······
Feeling the constant vibration of the car body, Tanjiro knew clearly that he must find the neck of the ghost that had fully integrated into the train as soon as possible and cut it off, otherwise the hundreds of passengers on the train would be hurt sooner or later.

Although I don't know what happened, it is estimated that the train will not last long.

The body is constantly deformed due to the oppression of some force, and sooner or later it will reach the limit.

But if there is no such force to forcibly stabilize the body, it is estimated that the train has already rushed out of the track.

"Did that old man and that goldfish-eyed guy do it?"

Inosuke asked excitedly.

Using manpower to forcibly stabilize such a long train and at the same time protect the passengers inside, how strong can it be done?

"Amazing!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to hurry up! Inosuke!"

Tanjiro reminded when he saw Inosuke who was in a daze.

As he said that, he swung his knife and slashed at the thick tentacles in front of him, overcoming all obstacles and heading towards the front of the car.

"I know! Leave it to me!"

Seeing Tanjiro rushing all the way, Inosuke waved his two swords unconvinced.

Two knives cut a large hole in the ceiling of the train.

"What are you doing!?"

Tanjiro sensed the movement behind him, and turned around to ask a little puzzled.

Isn't what they should do now is to clean up these tentacles to protect the passengers while looking for the ghost's vitals?

"What are you doing? Of course I know what I'm doing!"

Inosuke scolded impatiently, "It's you! Didn't you hear what that old man said? Our mission is to find the vital point of that ghost!!"

As he said that, he knelt on one knee on the roof of the car, inserted his two knives into the car, and opened his hands to feel the flow of air.

"Forehead……"

Tanjiro woke up immediately.

Although Inosuke was a bit irritable, this single-celled guy's way of thinking was always very simple.

Tanjiro's top priority at this time is of course the safety of the passengers. Even with the teacher's reminder, he still subconsciously wants to protect the passengers on this train, but this is wrong.

"Inosuke is right... Sensei and Mr. Purgatory will definitely be able to protect these passengers!"

Sure enough, at this moment, a fiery blast of air pierced through the eight carriages from the rear of the car, and the strange limbs that passed by were instantly shattered.

The breath of flame, one type, does not know fire.

The flaming haori flew in front of Tanjiro, "Kaomen boy, what are you still doing here?"

Kyojuro smiled and asked Tanjiro, who was stunned in place, that hearty smile made Tanjiro feel extremely at ease.

"Don't worry! The last two carriages are protected by the boy with yellow hair and sister Zaomen. I am fully capable of handling the rest. You just need to follow Mr. Xuanhao's instructions to complete your task!"

Yes, Tanjiro realized instantly.

There is only one thing they should do now, and that is to quickly find the vital point of this ghost. As long as the fatal weakness is broken, the train riot will naturally subside.

Breath of the Beast, Seven Shapes, Spatial Perception!
A fierce smile appeared on Inosuke's beautiful face under the hood, "I found you!"

At this moment, the train was moving fast, and the air was flowing faster. A slight movement would cause stronger disturbance to the flowing air, which allowed him to perceive the target's location more clearly.

At the front of this train!

"It's disgusting! Watch me chop it up!"

"bass--"

Inosuke pulled out the serrated double knives from the carriage, and he rushed towards the front of the car recklessly.

"Is it really at the front of the car?"

Tanjirou, who poked his head out of the hole in the ceiling, watched Inosuke's movements and confirmed the target's position.

He could also smell the strong stench coming from ahead, but the train was moving and the wind was too strong, making it impossible for him to confirm the exact location by smell.

"That's right!"

Receiving Inosuke's response, Tanjiro also jumped onto the roof of the car, quickly catching up with Inosuke and running towards the front of the car.

But just a few steps away, the two of them saw the old figure who was also walking towards the front with slow steps.

"Teacher... you are?"

Tanjiro was a little puzzled.

Why is the teacher who is supposed to protect the safety of the passengers in the car here!Could it be that Mr. Purgatory, Nezuko and Zenitsu are the only ones in the carriage now?The three of them are capable of protecting all passengers! ?
Just when he was wondering, the train started to topple over again because of the riot.

But at the same time, the footsteps of the old man happened to step on the roof of the car again, the violent shaking seemed to be suppressed by a powerful force, and the metal in the car let out a painful scream.

"This……"

Inosuke and Tanjiro looked at each other, shocked.

Is this how to control the stability of the car body?
Seeing the old man in front of him walking on the roof of the car like a stroll in the garden, the two's cognition was refreshed again.

"Don't worry, with Xing Shoulang's current strength, he can protect the safety of those passengers by himself,"

Xuan Hao looked at Tanjiro who had only started to act until now, with a hint of helplessness on his old face.

Most of the decisions people make after careful consideration are weighing the pros and cons, but Tanjiro always subconsciously wants to protect the people around him. This boy is too gentle and kind.

"Go ahead, you've already wasted a lot of time."

"understand!"

After realizing his mistake, Tanjiro hurriedly took Inosuke to continue sprinting forward, but...

"?"

Tanjiro who had just taken a few steps stopped, "What's wrong with you? Inosuke?"

Inosuke, who was always on the rampage, stopped.

He looked ahead vigilantly, as if facing a formidable enemy.

······
"It's coming, but...why hasn't that guy from Nightmare signaled yet?"

Several figures on the top of the tree looked at the approaching train in the distance and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"That guy doesn't want to take the credit for himself, does he?"

"Who knows?"

"No... I don't think so..."

A ghost frowned at the approaching train.

The body shook violently, and the iron wheels rubbed against the kneeling, making sharp and piercing sounds from time to time.

"It seems that... a war has already begun?"

"I knew that guy was a waste. He would only hide and never dare to fight head-on. It's normal to be discovered."

"Okay! Get ready to act, Nightmare should be entangled and have no time to send us a signal."

"Ah."

······
"coming."

Xuan Hao raised his head slowly, looking at the mirror-like full moon in the night sky.

"What's coming?"

Tanjiro was still a little confused.

Why does it feel like the teacher and Inosuke have noticed something, but he still has no idea what happened.

It wasn't until he followed Xuan Hao's line of sight that he saw several figures leaping into the night sky.

The shadow was getting closer and closer, expanding under the moonlight.

"bass--"

There was a violent friction sound on the carriage.

The stench from the pavement finally poured into Tanjirou's nostrils, "Twelve Onizuki!?"

When he saw clearly the numbers in the pupils of the ghosts in front of him, he became as vigilant as Inosuke.

These ghosts are twelve ghost months!Although they were all ghosts of the lower string, three of them appeared at the same time!No, plus the original one on this car, there are already four!

Excluding the one who was beheaded by him, this is almost all the ghosts who have been killed.

"Next two, next three, next four..."

Looking at the numbers in the eyes of the three ghosts in front of him, Tanjiro secretly guessed.

The Five of the Last Strings has been beheaded by him, and there should be no new ones appearing in a short time, so there are only one of the Strings and the Sixth of the Last Strings left!
Is this just the end of the train?Is the ghost that has not appeared yet still hiding somewhere at this moment! ?

"Is it them?"

While Tanjiro was thinking, the ghostly cold voice of one of them echoed on the roof of the car, as if confirming something to his companion.

"That's right, the boy with the flower earrings and... the old man in the sea-blue haori."

The other ghost pointed to Tanjiro and Xuanhao who were not far in front of them to confirm. As for Inosuke, they completely ignored it.

They are all ghosts.

The second of the lower string is the potter's wheel, the third of the lower string is the diseased leaf, and the fourth of the lower string is the zero surplus son.

Their goals here this time are only these two humans, and the others are not important.

"Asshole! What do you mean!?"

Hearing the arrogant words of these ghosts, Inosuke became irritable.

Although these ghosts seem to be quite strong, ignoring him like this is too arrogant!

"Er... what is this guy?"

Looking at the irritable guy wearing a wild boar hood, the ghosts looked at each other in blank dismay.

"I don't know, the unexpected guy is not our target anyway, but since it's here, let's kill it together. Anyway, all the humans on this train today must die."

"Hey! You guys! Don't be so arrogant!"

As Inosuke said that, he wanted to rush forward.

He was a little wary just now because the other party was hiding in the dark, but now the enemy is in front of him, and there are no other potential enemies in his perception.

The most important thing is... the current situation is three against three!Scared!What about the ghost of the string?He didn't believe that he couldn't even deal with a mere ghost.

"Hold on."

An old hand rested on Inosuke's shoulder.

"Ugh-"

Pressed by this hand, Inosuke let out a strange cry, and the hairs all over his body stood up, like a frightened wild boar.

"Don't worry, remember what I said?"

Xuan Hao's calm voice reached Inosuke's ears.

"Of course I remember... Our mission is to find the vitals of the ghost hidden in the car."

Inosuke answered honestly.

"That's right, let's go."

Xuanhao smiled and patted Inosuke on the shoulder.

But Inosuke still hesitated.

The ghosts in front of him made him very upset, and he really wanted to chop them off!But... this is an opportunity to please the old man!Is apprenticeship important or venting important?Inosuke was struggling.

"But... Teacher, you are alone..."

Tanjiro was also a little hesitant. Although he knew that the teacher was very strong, the other party was Twelve Kizuki after all, and there were more than one!
An old man who seems to be dying, at this age, can his physical strength really hold up to fight with these ghosts?

In Tanjiro's consciousness, it is very difficult even for Zhu to deal with the siege of multiple Twelve Kizuki at the same time, of course this refers to the past.The pillars of the current Demon Slayer Squad have been completely reborn because of Xuanhao, Tanjiro doesn't know this.

"rest assured."

Xuanhao gave Tanjiro a reassuring smile.

But such a smile angered the three ghosts.

"Hey, hey! Now is not the time for you to chat! The prey should have the self-awareness of the prey!"

These humans seem to be discussing who will stay and deal with the three of them! ?So who is being arrogant!They are arrogant because they are Twelve Ghost Moons, and the humans in this car are their prey, but why are these humans so arrogant! ?The last ghosts looked at the three chatting humans in front of them in annoyance.

"Okay, you go first."

Xuan Hao motioned towards Tanjiro and Inosuke lightly.

"In the past?" Inosuke raised his Japanese sword and pointed at the road in front of him, somewhat puzzled.

The three ghosts stood in front of them, and they didn't look like they would obediently give way.

"Don't worry, I'll let you go, just go."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Inosuke and Tanjiro looked at each other.

Afterwards, Tanjiro took the lead, and he absolutely believed in the teacher's words.

"Let's go!"

"it is good!"

The two teenagers started to run again.

"Hey! Human! What do you want to do!?"

Biaoye and Lingyuzi frowned, and they were about to stand in front of the two teenagers as they spoke.

But at this moment, two old hands rested on their shoulders at the same time, clapping enthusiastically like old friends they haven't seen for many years.

Yoyo's voice came from behind, "Don't be like this, do me a favor and let the children go."

It sounded like a question, but it was a flat, descriptive tone.

Both ghosts felt a chill down their backs at the same time.
