A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 446 439. We Can't Face the Darkness With Gentleness
"But Master Tian Yuan, he is right, if you don't catch up as soon as possible, many people will be hurt..." Ma Xu whispered beside him.

"Don't worry, it's useless if it escapes, Xuan Hao and the others are all on it." Yu Sui Tianyuan didn't worry too much, it should be said that worrying is meaningless.

He has already sent Chu He to evacuate the crowd. After all, the one who is going to be hunted is a stringed ghost. The war has already begun, and night is the home field of ghosts. The battlefield is the entire city of Youguo, and casualties are inevitable. Just try to reduce the loss.

And no one knows how many winding ghosts are lurking here.

"Mai Xu, you and Suma are going to help Chuzuru evacuate the crowd, the next battle is not for you to join."

After finishing speaking, Yu Sui Tianyuan picked up his two wives one by one, and jumped up.

"Hey Hey hey!"

Seeing Usui Tengen rushing straight up towards the night sky, Inosuke raised his Japanese sword and shouted, "Don't leave me behind!"

"I'm going to start a grand riot, I don't have time to control you! Follow up by yourself, pig!"

Yu Sui Tianyuan didn't turn his head back, he put the two wives down after landing, and then disappeared in place instantly.

"So fast!?"

Inosuke, who chased up to the ground, had a look of surprise in his eyes.Only then did he realize that Yu Sui Tianyuan was really moving and he couldn't catch up!

Sure enough, these guys called Zhu are all hidden, and they were underestimated before.

"Damn it, wait for me!?"

Inosuke stomped his feet angrily.

······
On the other hand, the battle between Rakuhime and Tanjiro is still going on.

But it's not so much a battle as Tanjiro is chasing Fallen Hime.

The cunning fallen princess uses buildings to cleverly avoid Tanjiro's pursuit, and from time to time, she will attack the humans she meets in the house to delay Tanjiro's pace.

Facing such shameless tactics, Tanjiro can only be forced to consume his energy.

However, at a certain moment, Rakuhime, who had been avoiding Tanjirou's pursuit, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The night sky is still deep black, and it is the time when the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is still early before dawn.

Luo Ji pierced the ceiling and ran to the roof, standing on the eaves with a gloomy expression.

Tanjiro, who was chasing after him, also stopped.

"what's the situation?"

He was a little puzzled, "Don't you hide?"

"Stupid human, you don't really think I'm afraid of you, do you?"

Falling Hime looked at the sky with a look of disdain, condescendingly looking down at Tanjiro who stopped not far from her.

Although she was being chased all the time, it didn't seem to hinder her arrogant attitude at all.

"No, it doesn't matter if you're afraid of me or not."

Tanjiro looked serious, "No matter what, I won't let you go, of course it's best if you don't run away!"

He clenched the sun wheel knife and prepared to attack again.

After the chase just now, he has a certain degree of understanding of the strength of the ghost in front of him.

Although the words Shangxian are indeed engraved in the pupils, this ghost is far from the San Shangxian he met before.

According to Tanjiro's estimation, if it was Zhu, he might be able to easily kill the ghost in front of him in a flash. After all, he felt that even he who was not Zhu could easily suppress him.

However, at the moment when he was about to approach again with the knife, suddenly several howling winds came from afar.

No, it wasn't the wind. Upon closer inspection, it was the ferocious belt that was flying in the direction of Yuhime, and by the time Tanjiro realized it had already penetrated straight into Yuhime's body.

"This is……"

Tanjiro raised his vigilance.

The aura on Luo Ji's body began to change, the number of belts protruding from her back became more, and her long black hair became pale. Perhaps this is her complete appearance.

With the return of these split body parts, a smell that made the depths of Tanjirou's throat feel numb came from Rakuhime.

"Pillar?"

After merging back into the belt of her body, Luo Ji muttered to herself, "It's a little troublesome, there are too many people here."

With the return of the belt, everything that the belt has experienced also emerged in her mind. She felt that the man who chopped the belt into pieces was a 'pillar', and if nothing else happened, he was stronger than the kid in front of him.

The current situation is not good for her, and she will be very dangerous if these ghost hunters converge.

"Sorry, boy, the game is over."

Fallen Hime looked down at Tanjirou condescendingly, her gaze became extremely dangerous.

"what……"

Tanjiro didn't understand what he was saying at all.

Although the momentum was indeed much stronger than before, he hadn't used his full strength yet, and the outcome of the fight was still uncertain. Why did this ghost speak as if the outcome had already been decided?
Soon he understood why.

With sarcasm in Luo Ji's eyes, she gently raised her hand.

With the swing of her arms, the belt around her waist stretched out, cutting obliquely in front of her like a giant sword.

A sharp trajectory flashed past, and the top of the attic not far in front of her was completely cut off.

"boom--"

The bricks and tiles fell slowly along the cut surface, making a loud noise.

Tanjiro looked at the scene exposed in the attic involuntarily, and then his face turned pale instantly.

"mean!"

At this moment, Tanjiro finally discovered that it turned out that Rakuhime's blind escape was not without purpose.

Luo Ji, who has been lurking here for a long time, is naturally familiar with the terrain here, and even knows exactly where the room is.

At this moment, the top of the attic was completely cut open, and Tanjiro could clearly see the three trembling human beings embracing each other inside.

It was Lixia Oiran and the two little girls who were in charge of her daily life.

They looked at this sudden change with fear and shock on their faces. Anyone who finds the roof of the room they are in is lifted probably has such an expression, not to mention that the slash just now almost cut off the three of them.

Luo Ji obviously did it on purpose.

"It's not just them."

Luo Ji's gaze became extremely dangerous, and as she spoke, the belt behind her began to extend, covering almost the entire street.

"I'm stronger now than before, and I can control more belts, can you handle it?"

Tanjiro started to sweat profusely.

Of course he could see what Luo Ji wanted to do.

As long as she has a thought, these extremely sharp belts will cut all the nearby houses into ruins like cutting tofu.

Tanjiro didn't know how many people were among them, but he only knew that if Fallen Hime really did this, there would be heavy casualties.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't protect everyone.

"Stupid people, don't you want to save them?"

Luo Ji raised her hand contemptuously, her eyes were full of cold light, "Then let me see how many people you can save!?"

The voice fell.

The belt behind her instantly became blurred, so fast that it was almost impossible to see the trajectory.

Tanjiro could see clearly.

But...he couldn't stop these belts that were slashing in different places at the same time.

The next moment, criss-cross cracks appeared on the entire street.

"Danger!"

Without time to think, Tanjiro could only choose to save the person in front of him first.

One of the slashes was aimed at the three exposed in the attic.

Faced with such a slash, the flesh and blood had no choice but to be cut in half.

"Oh, that's all you have in the end."

Falling Hime looked disappointedly at Tanjiro who stood in front of the three girls, with a bored expression on his face.

The human beings in front of me are indeed very strong, but it is a pity that they still failed because of the so-called "responsibility" just like the pillars I met before.

Why bother?Wouldn't it be nice if the ugly things in her eyes turned into corpses and rotted obediently! ?

boom--

The chopped-up building finally couldn't support it and collapsed, the loud noise was deafening, and the dense smoke and dust obscured Tanjirou's sight.

"Tick-tock-"

The Sun Wheel Knife obviously couldn't withstand such a devastating attack.

The scabbard used to block the slash has been cut off, and the hideous wound has dyed the entire left shoulder red.

Blood slid down Tanjiro's shoulders, it was a stupid act to take such a slash head-on, if he didn't have a strong body far beyond ordinary people, at this moment he might not only be hurt by his shoulders.

"Are you all right?"

"No...it's okay..."

The three girls stared blankly at the blood-stained boy in front of them.

"Ah That's good."

The boy's voice was obviously very gentle, but for some reason, they heard endless anger from it.

Unforgivable.

At this moment, Tanjirou's eyes became red with blood.

His eyes were so full of dust that he could hardly see anything.

But he could clearly hear the wailing and screams coming from the ruins everywhere.

There was a strong smell of blood and heart-shattering despair.

And the culprit of all this is the evil spirit who stands on a high place and condescends and doesn't take life seriously.

That cruel and merciless back was shrouded in smoke, and he saw her turn around without the slightest sense of guilt. To her, ruining her life was as natural as breathing.

"I was wrong, I should have tried my best from the beginning."

Tanjiro felt regretful.

The teacher has taught him countless times that the battle between humans and ghosts is cruel and ruthless, and it is correct to go all out when you meet each other, and to bite each other even if your limbs are broken.

However, what he was thinking just now was to wait for the reinforcements to arrive to ensure a complete victory, so he didn't exert all his strength.

Tactically speaking, he did nothing wrong, but... the result is what he looks like now.

"Teacher, maybe I'm not really the chosen one."

Tanjiro recalled what his teacher had said to him after he knew that his 'Fire God Kagura' was 'Breath of the Sun'.

He may be the one chosen by fate.

Once upon a time, there was a person who was very similar to himself.

The same earrings, the same breathing method, and the same natural markings.

Everything seems to indicate that he was chosen by fate to end the tragedy of 1000 years.

But only Tanjiro himself knows that he is not actually the chosen one.

The scar on his forehead was not born with him. It was the scar he left behind to protect his younger brother who accidentally knocked over the stove, and the scars he suffered unintentionally later became red like stripes. scar.

He Tanjiro didn't tell the teacher about this, because he didn't want to live up to the expectation of the teacher's eyes.

But it turns out that he failed to live up to expectations after all.

After all, he was not the chosen one, and after all, he failed to protect these people well.

"Sorry……"

"Sorry for what?" came a confused voice from behind Tanjiro.

"Forehead!?"

Before Tanjiro could turn his head, he felt a hand on his injured shoulder.

A familiar and warm feeling came from the shoulder, followed by severe pain, and the wound began to heal quickly.

"Sigh..." Xuan Hao sighed, "I knew something would happen to you alone, right?"

"Teacher, I..."

"Remorse? Regret? Doubt?"

The old man bent down slightly, put his head close to Tanjiro's ear from behind, and looked at the boy's side face with penetrating eyes, as if he had seen everything through.

"I know, with your character, you probably regret not being able to save these people now, right?"

"Yes……"

"I know, you're angry right now, aren't you?"

"Yes……"

Tanjiro lowered his head.

"Then do you know what you did wrong?"

"..."

"Ugh……"

Looking at the silent Tanjiro, Xuanhao shook his head helplessly, this child is still too gentle, even if the opposite is a heinous evil spirit, he will have a heart of compassion.

but……

"Kindness is precious, but children, we cannot face darkness with gentleness.

Even if the darkness once yearned for the light as much as we do. "

Except for Tanjiro, no one noticed the old man who appeared in the dust and the old man's eyes at this moment.

Tanjiro followed the teacher's ethereal eyes and looked through the smoke and dust, but he seemed to see something through the dust.

That direction was originally the direction of Luo Ji, but what imprinted on his eyes at this moment was a white-haired girl who looked pure and cute, even a little immature.

But this girl who appeared suddenly was like an illusion, and it was just a flash in the pan before Tanjiro's eyes.

"Stop being merciless, go."

Feeling a light pat on the shoulder, Tanjirou immediately realized that there was no teacher around him again at this moment.

But the recovered injury made him understand that the teacher had indeed come.

But others are not so lucky...

Tanjiro raised his head, his eyes burning brightly.

"stop."

"Ok?"

Luo Ji, who was about to leave, turned her head in doubt, she thought she had heard wrong.

It is impossible for the human body to resist the slash she just made with almost all her strength.

She knew that that stupid boy would definitely save the three women, so she put all her strength into that blow.

Such a deadly slash, even the Zhu she had met before could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge, this stupid boy actually took it hard, he was looking for death.

Before the smoke enveloped that boy, she could clearly see that he had already knelt down on the ground, half of his body was already stained red with blood, and it was absolutely impossible for him to stand up and continue fighting.

The human body has limits, and the only consequence of bleeding too much is death.

"Wouldn't it be better to quietly wait for the blood to flow out to die?"
