At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 31 Arrival at Mount Natsugiri

early morning
When the first ray of sunlight shines through the thin clouds and gently falls on the mountains, the entire mountain range seems to be covered by a layer of golden gauze.

The mountain is called Narrow Mist Mountain because it is covered with fog all year round.

Zhang Qi walked on the small path in the mountains, quietly looking at the girl leading the way in front of him.

Perhaps because she hadn't been home for a long time, the girl seemed a little excited.

A few days have passed since the final trial of the Demon Slayer Corps, and Zhang Qi also came here as planned, which is Sagiri Mountain where the former Water Pillar Urokodaki lived.

At this moment, the sound of wooden sticks colliding suddenly came from the edge of the woods.

Hearing the sound, Zhen Gu quickened his pace and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

Seeing this, Zhang Qi followed him. After passing through a forest, he saw an open space.

On the open ground, two young men were fighting with wooden swords. The shadows of the swords intertwined, and their movements were skillful. It was obvious that they had good sword skills.

One of them was dressed in black and had black semi-long hair.

The other one had pink hair and a hideous wound on his face.

Next to these two people stood an old man wearing blue clothes and a strange Tengu mask.

This must be Urokodaki and his group...

Zhang Qi glanced at several people and recognized their identities because they looked similar to those in the comics.

At this moment, it seemed as if it noticed the arrival of Zhang Qi and the others.

Urokodaki looked up suddenly, and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw it was Shinkomo.

Then, Giyu Tomioka, who was still fighting, also noticed Makomo's arrival and a happy expression appeared on his face.

The action was therefore paused for a moment.

But the rabbit fighting against it did not stop.

A sharp blow directly cut off Giyu Tomioka's wooden sword.

Then it hit Giyu Tomioka's face and sent him flying.

"Xiantu, what are you doing?!"

Tomioka Giyuu stood up from the ground, covering his swollen face, and asked with a resentful look on his face.

He had clearly stopped...

"A true enemy doesn't care what your reasons are.

If it had been a real fight, you would have been dead just now."

Xuantu put away the wooden sword and continued speaking earnestly.

Of course he saw Zhengu coming back, but that was no reason to be careless.

"This……"

Tomioka Giyu was stunned when he heard this, opened his mouth, and was about to say that this was not actual combat.

But after seeing Xuantu's serious face, he couldn't say it.

"..."

Seeing this, Urokodaki on the side shook his head helplessly.

With Giyuu's personality, it's unclear whether it's right or wrong for him to become a swordsman.

Then Urokodaki withdrew his gaze and looked at Makomo who was walking towards him.

"Teacher, I'm back."

Shinkomo came closer to Urokodaki and continued speaking gently.

In this final trial, she learned that all of her teacher's former disciples had been killed by that multi-armed ghost.

It was hard for her to imagine how sad this was, and it was also hard for her to imagine what kind of mood the teacher was in when he asked her to participate in the final trial.

“Welcome back.

Thanks a lot. "

Upon hearing this, Urokotaki's body trembled slightly, and then he uttered in a hoarse voice the words that he had not said for more than ten years.

After saying that, he touched Zhengu's head.

Zhang Qi didn't say much and left time for the master and disciple.

After a moment, Linglong looked at Zhang Qi and asked,
"you are?"

“Zhang Qi, I am the disciple of Master Ci Wulang.

This time, I passed the test with Makomo, so we came together to visit Mr. Urokodaki."

Zhang Qi replied.

"Jiwulang's disciple?"

Lin Long was stunned when he heard this, then he looked Zhang Qi up and down for a few times. Only then did he notice what made Zhang Qi different.

His sense of smell told him that the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as his disciple, possessed an aura of hard work.

"Heh~ Jigoro really found a good successor!"

After a long time, Urokodaki said with some emotion that he was sincerely happy that his old friend had found such an excellent successor.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Santu and Tomioka Giyu, who had just come over, were stunned.

It was the first time they heard the master praise others like this.

"Is your teacher okay?"

Urokodaki then asked.

"The old man is still in good health, but his legs and feet are a little inconvenient."

Zhang Qi replied.

"That's good……"

Urokotaki nodded. It was really touching to hear news from an old friend again after so many years.

"By the way, why are you here this time?"

Urokodaki continued to ask, because their Demon Slayer Corps was short of manpower.

Even if we are in the same area, there are few opportunities to meet, let alone in different areas.

Even newcomers who have just joined the Demon Slayer Corps will have to engage in missions after obtaining their weapons.

So if there is nothing special, even Jigoro's disciples should not come back to find him.

"To be honest, I came here mainly to exchange some ideas with Mr. Urokodaki."

Zhang Qi replied that it was because he shared power with his selves in other worlds.

It is quite difficult for him to find someone to spar with now. If the Twelve Demon Moons do not have the Sun Wheel Sword, he has no effective means of killing.

As for the pillars, there are only two now: the Rock Pillar and the Sound Pillar.

Due to the shortage of manpower, these two were out killing ghosts all day long and he couldn't find them.

Therefore, this former Water Pillar is indeed a very suitable candidate for him to hone his sword skills.

"Why?!!"

Hearing Zhang Qi's words, Xuantu and Tomioka Giyuu next to them were suddenly shocked.

The boy in front of them, who looked about the same age as them, actually opened his mouth and wanted to spar with their teacher.

Isn't this too bold?!

Zhen Gu was not surprised because he had known about this for a long time.

"Well...Shantu, go get two wooden swords."

Urokotaki was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said to Santu.

He could smell the seriousness emanating from the young man in front of him.

In that case, he had no reason to refuse.

Because this is his responsibility as a trainer, to pass on his skills and spirit.

"it is good."

Hearing this, although Xuantu was surprised, he nodded and turned back to take out two wooden swords.

Then he handed the sword to Urokita and Zhang Qi, and stepped aside.

"Sister Zhengu, is this Zhang Qi really that powerful? He actually dared to challenge Master..."

Giyu Tomioka, who was standing next to them, looked at the two people walking towards the center of the field and asked curiously.

The more he practiced swordsmanship, the more he realized how powerful his master was.

He really couldn't imagine his master losing.

"Hmm...it's really impressive."

Zhen Gu nodded. He had witnessed Zhang Qi's strength with his own eyes.

But she didn't know whether she could defeat her master.

"Ok?"

Xuantu, who had just retired, was stunned when he heard this. He knew this senior sister quite well.

There was only one reason for hesitation, and that was that Zhengu believed that this young man was indeed as powerful as their master...
