Chapter 1671 Play (I am so tired that I want to sleep every day)

As the inherent barrier unfolded by Duanmu Huai eroded the Infinite Castle of the evil spirits, the originally fragmented Demon Slayer Corps successfully gathered together and launched a head-on confrontation with the army of evil spirits.

The nine strongest pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps rushed into the army of evil spirits like a tiger descending from a mountain. Evil spirits fell down wherever they went. Obviously, in front of the nine pillars, ordinary evil spirits had no power to fight back at all.

If the Nine Pillars are willing, they can even join forces to eliminate all these hundreds or thousands of evil spirits.

But that's not the problem.

For the Nine Pillars, they have only one goal, and that is the huge meat egg that is currently located behind the evil ghost army, and the evil ghost lord sleeping inside it—Muzan!

The lord sacrificed himself to get the chance to severely inflict heavy damage on Muzan, they must not stop here!

Soon, the nine people rushed out of the evil ghost army and continued to move forward. They were even prepared to be stopped by the upper-rank demons. However, to the Nine Pillars' surprise, the remaining upper-rank demons had no intention of stopping them. They just stared ahead, motionless, like sculptures.

What are they doing?

The nine pillars cast doubtful eyes at the upper demons. Although they also thought about whether to take the opportunity to kill these powerful demons, after a little consideration, they decided to shoot the horse first and capture the leader first. Muzan has not fully recovered yet. Once they attack the upper demons, it will only waste time. What they need to do now is to seize the time and kill the demon master who has not fully recovered as quickly as possible!

In fact, the Nine Pillars did not know that the Upper Moon Demon was not paying attention to them at the moment.

On the one hand, in the eyes of the Upper Moon Demons, the mere nine pillars are no match for the Lord of Evil Demons.

On the other hand...they couldn't move at all!

"Dong...dong..."

The sounds of fighting, screams, and wails filled the entire battlefield, but for the Upper Moon Demons, all they could hear was the sound of heavy footsteps.

They stared at the front, motionless, their whole bodies tense. A terrifying, mountain-like murderous aura had been hanging over them since the beginning of the battle. It was a murderous aura far beyond that of other ghost hunters, and even their evil ghost lord Muzan had never possessed such a murderous aura. They even had to concentrate on fighting against this terrifying pressure and murderous intent. If they were careless for a moment, they would die without a burial place!

They are now like prisoners on the execution ground. They can do nothing but wait for the executioner to come.

Finally, the figure appeared.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

Duanmu Huai slowly walked out of the battlefield holding a shield and a sharp blade. He was covered in blood. His black armor and shield were dyed red by the blood. Even the white bones fixed on the surface of the shield had become dark. However, even so, Duanmu Huai's momentum did not weaken. On the contrary, it became stronger and stronger!

What is this smell?

The Upper Rank One held the hilt of the sword tightly at his waist and stared at Duanmu Huai. He was once a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and hundreds of years ago, he was even the best among them. However, out of fear of death and jealousy of his brother who was the strongest demon hunter, he abandoned his human identity and turned into a demon under the persuasion of Muzan.

And he is also the strongest among all the evil spirits.

But...what is this?

Even when facing his strongest brother, he had never trembled like this. The figure in front of him displayed not unrivaled strength, but terror!

It was like a huge beast, his body's instincts, every cell was trembling, warning him to leave, leave here immediately! That was not an enemy he could match!

But he also knew that he couldn't leave.

The moment he moves, that will be his death!

I don’t want to die, I don’t dare to die, I don’t want to die.

It is for this reason that they abandoned their human bodies and turned into evil spirits.

However, not everyone thinks so.

“That’s the feeling…”

Upper Moon Two stared at Duanmu Huai, his eyes emitting warm emotions. At this moment, his body was also trembling slightly. It was a mixture of fear and excitement!

Unlike other people, Upper String Two lacked emotions when he was a human. He was completely unable to understand human emotions, and he himself had no emotions at all. For Upper String Two, it didn't matter whether he was a human or a ghost, and it didn't matter to other people's emotions. Everything in this world was black and white to him.

Until now.

The fear and pressure that was like a blazing flame ignited the originally colorless world in Upper Rank Two's eyes. For the first time, he felt the emotions from the bottom of his heart, fear, surprise, confusion, and the heaviness of repression that made him breathless and his heart seemed to jump out of his chest.

So that's what it is, is this what human emotions are like?

Is this how humans feel about themselves?

So……………

“Give me more fearaaaaaaaaah!!”

With a shout, Upper String Two leaped up, and the cold air around him quickly condensed and turned into sharp claws, and pounced on Duanmu Huai in front of him! At this moment, Upper String Two also felt that the throbbing in his heart reached its peak!

Come, let me see, let me see what kind of feeling you can bring to me! What kind of emotion!

Staring at Duanmu Huai, Upper String Two widened his eyes. He couldn’t wait to experience the upcoming, increasingly intense and exciting joy... Hey?

The world in front of him suddenly tilted, and the burning passion that seemed to be boiling just now disappeared like an illusion, as if it had never existed. Upper String Two tried to twist his head to see what happened, but all he saw was a body that fell backwards and had been chopped into several pieces - and the bloody blade in Duanmu Huai's hand.

When did he swing the sword? And how did he swing it?

"Flying Sword Style - Dragon Nest Flash."

These were the last words Upper Rank Two heard, because at that moment, the bright red sword in Duanmu Huai’s hand ruthlessly cut open his head.

Duanmu Huai raised his right hand, and the bright red sword in his hand swung out with a trace of blood. On the blade, one could vaguely see a human figure made of blood twisting and struggling, and then disappeared into the sword body as if being swallowed up.

"………………………"

The Upper Rank One silently looked at the sword in Duanmu Huai's hand and tightened his grip on the hilt. "Aren't you... a swordsman who has learned the breathing technique?"

At this moment, the shock that Upper Rank One received was far greater than before. Even if Duanmu Huai had learned the breathing sword technique like the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps, he would not be so surprised. Because Upper Rank One had seen the strongest swordsman who practiced the initial breathing technique with his own eyes. If... if the person in front of him was like the swordsman who was like his nightmare, then he could still understand it.

After all, the breathing technique of the Demon Slayer Corps is to improve their physical fitness through breathing in order to achieve the purpose of competing with demons. Otherwise, it is impossible to hunt demons with the strength of ordinary people alone.

Not to mention the ghosts' recovery ability, the speed and strength alone are very different, not to mention that the Twelve Demon Moons also possess special abilities that seem like magic.

Of course, the strongest swordsman who has mastered the breathing method can also reach the level of hunting down evil spirits easily. Just like when the Nine Pillars charged into the evil spirit army just now, no matter if the opponent had a hundred or a thousand people, they could not stop the Nine Pillars. This is actually the same as when the evil spirits face ordinary humans, whether there are a hundred or a thousand people, it is the same.

But the person in front of me is different!

Upper Rank One sensed it clearly. When facing Upper Rank Two, his breathing did not change at all. He did not suddenly speed up like a swordsman who learned breathing techniques. On the contrary, his body seemed quite calm! Whether it was his muscles, blood flow, or breathing, they were all very calm. It was as if the sword he had just swung, which even Upper Rank Two could not react to, was just an ordinary blow!

And what is Hitenjikenryu? Aren't all breathing sword techniques X-breathing?

"Who are you? What is Fei Tian Yu Jian Style? "

At this moment, the Upper Rank One could no longer bear it, he had to know, even if he died, he had to die knowingly!

However, Duanmu Huai's answer was...

"Oh, I was just kidding."

"……………Aha?"

"Just saying."

Duanmu Huai said this as he sheathed his sword.

"Look, whether it's you or the Demon Slayer Corps, when they're fighting, they always shout blood demon arts, this breathing, that breathing... I think I should follow the local customs and just shout whatever I want."

Having said that, Duanmu Huai stared at the Upper Rank One and sneered.

"What do you want? You can make a reservation in advance, such as Wuming Shenfeng Style, Feitian Yujian Style, Beichen Ittoryu, Yagyu Shinkage Style... Well, actually, I only know the names of these few styles..."

"Do not make jokes!!"

At this moment, the anger of being despised finally overwhelmed the fear of death. The Upper Rank One opened his mouth and roared loudly. Although he was an evil ghost, he was also a swordsman. And now in front of him, this guy was so contemptuous, and didn't even take him seriously! This was intolerable!

The Upper Moon Demon took a step forward and rushed towards Duanmu Huai. At the same time, he drew the long sword from his waist and swung it with a crescent moon!

Breathing of the Moon - Lu's form, a lonely moon at night, without a break!

Along with the sword of the Upper Rank One, countless crescent-shaped sword lights suddenly burst out, and dense arc-shaped sword lights completely enveloped Duanmu Huai's figure from all directions.

This is the signature move of one of the upper ranks. No one can withstand this all-out attack!

Got it!

Watching Duanmu Huai's figure being swallowed by the sword light, the Upper Rank One revealed a smile, but at this moment, a voice quietly appeared in his ears.

"Secret Sword... Swallow Returns."

Then, the world turned upside down.

The head of the Upper Rank One flew high into the sky. In front of his eyes, his body had been cut in half. Duanmu Huai was still standing there, staring at him with cold eyes.

It was cold and heartless, and they didn't take him seriously at all, as if he was just a maggot, an ant, a bug with no value in existence... But it's not over yet!

Because at this moment, his Moon Breathing Sword Technique also chopped in front of Duanmu Huai.

Then—the Upper Rank One saw Duanmu Huai raise the shield in his hand that was almost as big as him, and then block it in front of him.

“Ding-dang—————!”

The indestructible sword light that could even cut through human bones slashed at the shield that bound the skeleton, but just like its name - it was shattered like an illusion of moonlight.

And the consciousness of one of the Upper Ranks also came to an end at this moment.

"Actually, I want to play with you more."

Looking at the body of one of the Upper Ranks gradually breaking and dissipating, Duanmu Huai sighed.

"But unfortunately, it seems there is no extra time to waste."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked not far ahead. There, the giant egg originally formed by the condensation of flesh had already broken open, and a man who looked very effeminate was standing in it triumphantly. Beside him, the nine pillars were either lying or falling, all tilted.

"Although I didn't expect them to really kill the boss, this is too tragic."

Duanmu Huai sighed silently, then took a step forward.

"Forget it, it looks like I'll have to do it in the end."
