Tanjiro Kamado, wearing a fox mask, looked at the wisteria flowers blooming around him and couldn't help but marvel at the magic of nature.

On the hillside covered with wisteria flowers, there is a man-made stone road, which is now mostly covered with wisteria petals.

He walked up the mountain step by step, stepping on the tiny flower petals.

At the end of the cobblestone road, Tanjiro Kamado saw a boy in a kimono who looked more like a girl, and standing next to him were two girls who looked similar.

There was extreme calmness in their eyes, and at the same time, the smiles on their lips made people feel warm.

Very weird feeling.

In front of the three of them stood a group of young boys and girls with Sun Blades hanging around their waists. There was fear, tension, or fighting spirit in their eyes.

Tanjiro Kamado guessed that these people were here to participate in the trial just like him.

At this time, the young man in kimono nodded slightly to Tanjiro Kamado, and Tanjiro Kamado nodded in return as a sign of respect.

After waiting for a few more hours, the two girls on the right of the kimono boy spoke first.

The speech was very lengthy, roughly talking about the history of the Demon Slayer Corps, as well as some things to pay attention to in the trials.

Tanjiro Kamado listened very carefully. Urokodaki Sakonji seldom talked to him about these things. Most of the time, he told him things about the battle.

After hearing the other party's words, Tanjiro Kamado realized that the Demon Slayer Corps had been fighting against the evil demons for a hundred years, and countless members of the Demon Slayer Corps had died at the hands of the evil demons.

It can be said that everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps has an irreconcilable hatred for the evil spirits.

Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help but glance at the boys and girls around him, and noticed that after hearing these words, they confirmed that there was no fluctuation at all, and he knew that what the other party said was absolutely right.

However, he also knew that although there was hatred, whether they were enemies or friends was still debatable, and human hearts were the most unpredictable.

As Tanjiro Kamado was thinking, the sky gradually darkened and the boy finally stopped his speech.

He glanced at the people who were eager to make a move, and clapped his hands:

"Then, I wish you all safe journey in the trial."

As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed to the area behind each other.

Tanjiro Kamado bowed slightly to the other party before walking towards the trial area.

When Tanjiro Kamado disappeared from the eyes of the boy in kimono, all the trial-takers entered the trial. The only ones left here were the boy in kimono and two girls with similar appearances.

At this moment, the kimono boy suddenly spoke:
"Looking at that fox mask, he should be Mr. Urokodaki's disciple, right?"

"Yes." The girl on the left replied softly.

"I heard from my father that Mr. Urokodaki seemed to have high praise for him."

"Yes." The girl on the right responded.

"Did Mr. Urokodaki praise him like this? I'm really curious about his specific performance in the trial ground."

The young man in kimono looked at the wisteria tree in the distance and said quietly.

In his eyes, behind the layers of trees were countless evil spirits.

Even the members of the Demon Slayer Corps who are responsible for capturing evil spirits may not know how many evil spirits are imprisoned here, but he remembers it clearly.

I also know how many young people who were called geniuses were buried on that land.

So no matter how much praise you get, you have to survive.

The kimono-clad boy's eyes became somewhat vague.

……

Tanjiro Kamado walked along the road, and soon there were fewer wisteria trees and more ordinary trees.

He kept his hands on his waist. After walking for about half an hour, he suddenly stopped and looked into the woods.

After just a moment's pause, his body moved, and his figure turned into a shadow, rushing straight into the woods.

A few seconds later, a shrill scream was heard in the woods, but it quickly disappeared.

At this time, Tanjiro Kamado also walked out of the woods, shook off the blood remaining on the blade, and put it back into the sheath.

He exhaled and uttered two words: "One."

He continued forward, this time walking more slowly.

His keen facial senses enabled him to be fully aware of any movement around him. As long as he heard the sound of a ghost, he would burst out at his fastest speed, rush to the corresponding position and kill the opponent.

In just six hours, ten ghosts disappeared in front of Tanjiro Kamado.

Of course, it’s not that the evil spirits are rushing here to give themselves up, but Tanjiro Kamado’s five senses are now strong enough to grasp all the movements within a hundred meters around him, so even the evil spirits that intentionally hide are killed one by one by Tanjiro Kamado.

"Why do I feel like there are still a few evil spirits missing?"

Before Tanjiro Kamado came here, he heard from Urokodaki Sakonji that every year, powerful Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen would capture demons alive and throw them in. For example, when Urokodaki Sakonji was still in office, dozens of demons were captured in a single year.

"The evil ghosts' diet also includes their kind. There should only be one of them in a certain range."

Lin Yu emerged from Tanjiro Kamado's mind.

"That's right, but it's a being that should be killed. It even eats its own kind."

Tanjiro Kamado's words were full of disgust. The more he understood evil spirits, the more he knew how hateful such existence was.

"In that case, do you want to kill all these evil spirits?"

Lin Yu made a suggestion.

"Of course I want to. Master, can you find all the ghosts?"

Tanjiro Kamado asked curiously. He had observed Wisteria Mountain before and found that the area covered by Wisteria Mountain should be much larger than that of Sagiri Mountain.

With such a large area, it is inevitable that some evil spirits will hide.

"Of course, but there is a time limit. All evil spirits must be eliminated within two hours."

Lin Yu said.

Tanjiro Kamado was a little hesitant. After all, the area covered by Wisteria Mountain was extremely large, and two hours was a bit too rush to get rid of all the ghosts.

"If you can defeat these evil spirits within the specified time, I will teach you a new technique that will not only assist you in your practice, but also allow you to have more variations in your attacks."

Lin Yu said lazily.

This thought just occurred to him.

It was not because of some other reasons, but simply because he found that the emotional power provided by these ghosts was really too huge.

The emotional power provided by the ten evil ghosts just now was considerable. Lin Yu noticed that due to the obstruction of the wisteria flowers, the efficiency of the mother body in extracting the emotional power seeds from the evil ghosts' bodies was greatly reduced.

Therefore, the emotional energy accumulated in the bodies of evil spirits is considerable.

And if Tanjiro Kamado's speed is too slow, the other test takers will probably also have to kill a lot of evil spirits.

This is naturally a waste.

"A new technique?"

When Tanjiro Kamado heard Lin Yu say this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The changes brought about by the internal force generated in his body are extraordinary, and now there is even a new technique?
This time we have to do it.

"it is good!"

Tanjiro Kamado agreed without any hesitation. "Okay, if you can't finish it, I will double the intensity of your current training. Next, I will send the specific information of the evil spirits around you to your mind, so hurry up."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he activated his mental power and created a small map in Tanjiro Kamado's mind, which displayed some small red dots in real time.

And these little red dots represent the evil spirits.

Tanjiro Kamado, who witnessed Lin Yu's magical skills again, was amazed in his heart, but his movements did not slow down at all. While sighing, his figure rushed out like an arrow and rushed straight towards the ghost closest to him.

……

Agatsuma Zenitsu gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist and looked around nervously. As a swordsmanship rookie who only knew the first form of Thunder Breathing, he never thought that one day he would participate in such a dangerous trial.

What should I do if I encounter a powerful evil ghost?

At this moment, he didn't realize that an evil ghost had been lurking behind him for a long time.

This extremely thin man looked like he could be blown down by a gust of wind, but his bloodshot eyes and rolling throat proved that he was already a starving devil.

However, even though hunger had eroded some of his sanity, he still cautiously followed the man in front of him for a long time.

He was certain that the man in front of him was just a coward. He didn't even have the courage to face the evil spirit and was blaming himself the whole time.

So, today he can finally have a full meal!

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and the last bit of sanity in his heart was devoured by hunger, and he dodged and pounced on Agatsuma Zenitsu.

Agatsuma Zenitsu was also frightened by the sudden appearance of the evil spirit. He just clenched the hilt of the sword and made no other movements.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared, a cold light flashed, blood gushed out, the evil ghost's head flew high up, and then turned into dust like the blood that gradually fell to the ground.

Agatsuma Zenitsu came to his senses at this time and looked at the young man with a fox mask in surprise.

He didn't even see when the other party appeared!

"This warrior..."

He regrouped and was about to say thank you, but he found that the young man had disappeared from his sight again.

Agatsuma Zenitsu was in a trance for a moment and almost thought he was experiencing an illusion. Half a day later, when he saw the blood on the ground, he realized that what he had just seen was not an illusion.

"What a brave warrior..."

Agatsuma Zenitsu couldn't help but sigh.

……

"Pigs rush forward, pigs rush forward!"

"Hahaha!"

"I see you!"

An evil ghost with his upper body naked was running for his life. He listened to the sound coming from behind him and looked back from time to time with some fear.

When he smelled the human scent, he thought that he would finally not have to eat the flesh of his own kind and could change his appetite, but he did not expect to meet such a freak.

Not only does he look weird wearing a wild boar mask, he's also terrifyingly strong.

As soon as they met, he didn't even say hello and just rushed over shouting "Pig".

Although I deserve to die, can you give him a chance to speak his lines?

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to be very smart, and he circled around in the woods a few times and escaped from the deadly danger.

If he makes another move, he should be able to get rid of the other party.

Just when this thought came to his mind, he suddenly noticed a dark shadow floating towards him.

That's right, it's Gone with the Wind.

The other party was wandering above the treetops in the woods, as if floating over.

"Get out of the way!"

A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He couldn't beat the man behind him, so how could he not beat the man in front of him?
But as soon as he finished speaking, he found that the other party had come in front of him.

He only had time to see a strange fox face before he found his vision suddenly raised and saw his headless body.

Eh? When?
Without having time to think too much, the evil ghost lost consciousness.

Tanjiro Kamado was in a hurry and naturally had no intention of stopping, so he rushed towards the next target.

While on the way, he found a strange man wearing a wild boar mask, who was shouting "Pig Rush" and rushing towards him.

What a strange person.

This thought came to Tanjiro Kamado's mind, and he didn't think about it any more.

And Inosuke Hashibira, who was already completely excited, also saw Tanjiro Kamado who was moving at an extremely fast speed.

He was concentrating on chasing the evil spirit and didn't think much about it, but after running for a while, he found a pool of blood and a pile of ashes on the ground.

He suddenly reacted:

"Damn it, did that guy just kill my prey?"

He roared and wanted to turn back to chase Tanjiro Kamado, but when he thought about the man's incredible speed just now, he could only snort in dissatisfaction and decided to find the next prey.

……

Kanao Kocho stood in front of an evil ghost whose head had been cut off, staring down at the head that was gradually disappearing in front of her, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.

Just now the evil ghost was crying and complaining about how miserable she was being locked up in this isolated place, and how many of her peers were targeting her every day.

But his true nature was revealed the next second, and he rushed forward and tried to bite her neck off.

Although she knew that it was instinct that made them attack humans, that's how the world is. If you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed.

Seeing the last inch of the other person's head completely disappear and turn into ashes, she was about to leave without looking back.

But she saw the last fox-faced boy who arrived suddenly appeared behind her.

She subconsciously tightened her grip on the knife handle and looked at the boy warily.

"He was killed right away. Was it a wasted trip?"

The boy's attention was not on her, but on the ashes that the evil ghost had just turned into.

After the boy finished speaking his regretful words, he noticed that she

Seeing that the other party was ready to attack, he quickly said:
"I'm sorry, I'm not an enemy. I'm just here to kill the evil spirits. I'm in a hurry, so I won't say any more."

After saying that, the fox-faced young man went away like the wind.

Only after noticing that the other person's figure had completely disappeared from her sight did Kanao Kocho put down her hand.

She frowned slightly because she realized that the opponent was very fast. If he had attacked her just now, she might not have had time to resist.

Then she shook her head.

This person should be considered a companion, why is she looking at him like this?

But why was the young man in such a hurry?
Kill the evil spirits?

Could it be that the other party has been hunting evil spirits at this speed since entering this area?

Butterfly Kanae shook her head again, thinking that the possibility was very small. (End of this chapter)
