At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 34: Nichirin Sword and Tanjiro
"what!"

Hearing what Xuantu said, Tomioka Giyu shouted and slashed at Zhang Qi with all his strength.

This is his current full strength. Although this is just a trivial competition, this time it is Xuantu who is asking for help from him.

So he didn't want to lose no matter what...

"What a pity! Although the plan is good, the execution is still too naive.

Rushing blindly is very dangerous..."

Zhang Qi murmured. He naturally saw Tomioka Giyu who was waiting for an opportunity beside him, and roughly guessed that he would be the main attacker in the end.

But his intention was too obvious, so he deliberately revealed a flaw in order to lure Giyu Tomioka into taking action.

Then, Zhang Qi finally drew out the wooden sword from his waist and swung it as fast as lightning.

Then this lightning directly cut off the wooden sword in Tomioka Giyu's hand...

"This……"

Giyu Tomioka stopped, stared blankly at Zhang Qi, and then looked at the broken wooden sword in his hand.

In the previous few times, Xuantu was the final attacker, and he was responsible for the feint attack.

This was his first time undertaking such a task, and he did not expect to fail in the same way.

"Haha~ It seems we still can't beat you."

Xuantu came over and said helplessly.

He could feel that Zhang Qi had suppressed his strength and was playing tricks on them, but even with the three of them working together, they still had no chance of winning.

Especially in the past few days, the opponent's fighting style has become more mature...

"But we've grown a lot these days~"

Seeing this, Zhen Gu covered her smile and said that she thought this kind of thing was natural.

Among the three of them, perhaps only Xuantu truly holds the idea of ​​winning.

"That's right, the outcome of the competition is not important, as long as I can hone my skills.

This harvest will be useful in the future..."

Zhang Qi nodded. This sentence applied to both him and these people.

It is quite troublesome to kill Muzan. Although this guy has poor mental quality, his strength is not weak.

Even after being poisoned by four kinds of poisons from Miss Tamayo and Shinobu Kocho, Muzan still showed overwhelming strength.

Of course, the most disgusting thing about this guy is his vitality. He can even split himself into nearly two thousand pieces to escape.

"..."

Tomioka Giyu was stunned when he heard this, and then wanted to say something.

But it was suddenly interrupted by a figure in the distance...

On the way up the mountain, two figures wearing long robes and strange hats slowly walked towards them, accompanied by the sound of wind chimes as they walked.

“My name is Tetsujin, and this is my disciple Tetsuichiro.

He is the one who forged the swords for Zhang Qi and Miss Zhen Gu..."

The two of them came in front of the crowd and then asked.

Then his eyes locked on Zhenkomo, after all, she was the only female swordsman here.

"I am Zhang Qi."

Zhang Qi also reacted after hearing this, it should be his Sun Wheel Sword that has arrived.

"Well, this sword was made by me personally. The raw materials for the Sun Blade, the gorilla scarlet iron sand and gorilla scarlet ore, were both mined from the mountain closest to the sun.

Both of them are materials that can absorb sunlight. By forging them using the secret techniques passed down by my clan, the power of the sun stored in them can be released.

Therefore, the wounds cut by the Sun Blade cannot be easily healed by those man-eating evil spirits..."

Tie Xin nodded, then took off the cloth bag, and then put down the wooden box on his back.

Then he took out a long knife from the wooden box and handed it to Zhang Qi.

"Let's pull it out and take a look. The Nichirin Sword is also known as a sword that changes color.

It will also change to different colors depending on the user..."

Seeing Zhang Qi take it, Tie Xin continued to urge him.

For the knife maker, witnessing this step is a must.

Because only when the Nichirin Sword changes color can the sword be truly completed.

Zhang Qi nodded when he heard that, then pulled out the knife.

Then at this moment, a golden light appeared on the blade.

"Oh~ It's actually gold, what a gorgeous color." Tie Xin nodded when he saw this. The user of Thunder Breathing is most likely to have this color.

Zhang Qi tried to swing the knife, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. The knifemaker who forged this knife had superb skills.

The center of gravity and blade length were determined based on his height, knife-wielding habits, and breathing techniques...

"Thank you, Mr. Tiexin."

Zhang Qi put away his knife and then thanked him.

To create such a weapon, a swordsmith has to spend a lot of effort.

"Oh~ No need, these are the only things we swordsmiths can do.

As for how much you can unleash and how many evil spirits you can kill, it all depends on your swordsman's abilities."

Tie Xin chuckled when he heard this. He was already in his 50s and had built and repaired countless swords for swordsmen.

Naturally, I also know how brutal the battle with the evil spirits is...

"Ah."

Zhang Qi nodded, then looked to the other side and saw a blue Sun Wheel Sword in Zhen Gu's hand.

Now that I have the knife, it's time to leave...

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi put away his knife. Due to the shortage of manpower in the Demon Slayer Corps, the regular members are generally very busy.

So he doesn't have much time left, and he has to find Tanjiro's family before the mission comes.

……

A few more days passed

In a small town

"Hey, isn't this Tanjiro?
It's so cold, selling charcoal is really hard work.
Give me a few more pounds of carbon~"

In a street shop, a kind-hearted old lady shouted to a thin figure on the street.

This young boy is the eldest son of the Kamado family. Because his father is ill, he has to shoulder the burden of the family even though he is only 10 years old.

It's really hard work, so if I can help her, I would like to help. If the carbon is sold out earlier, the child can go home earlier.

"Okay, thank you."

Tanjiro said gratefully,
He knew that everyone in the town was taking special care of him.

After all, the weather is not that cold now, so the carbon consumption should not be so high.

But everyone in the town still takes turns buying his carbon...

Thinking of this, Tanjiro stopped and put down the backpack.

He packed the carbon she needed and handed it to the old lady.

The aunt put it away, then went into the house, and came out with two packages.

Then he handed it to Tanjiro...

"Okay, here's the money, be careful not to drop it~
By the way, this is the rice ball I made. If you don’t mind, would you like to try it? "

The aunt asked gently. She knew that the way down the mountain was difficult, especially for a child.

Because it gets dark early in this season, in order to get home before dark, the child went out very early, with the aim of buying more time.

The child must be starving after such a long journey so early in the morning...

"Ah... this, I can't ask for it for nothing...

How much is that for you?"

Tanjiro was stunned when he heard this, then spoke seriously.

"This kid...I just made this with leftovers. It's not worth much."

The aunt shook her head helplessly when she heard this. This child is really...

"No, I have to pay."

Tanjiro shook his head and then spoke seriously.

He has already troubled everyone by selling charcoal, so how can he take other people's things for free?

"Heh~ Sometimes people have to learn to accept the kindness of others."

At this moment, a male voice sounded from behind.

Tanjiro looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing a black uniform, a white haori, and a katana at his waist...

　I'm late because of something today.
