At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 40 Shaolin Temple in the Sea Tiger World
Huh?! How is that possible?!

What was that guy's move just now?!

Why is there a red mark on my forehead? !

And...what is this thing...

Seeing Zhang Qi dodging his fatal blow and rushing towards him, Akaza's face changed and he stared at Zhang Qi's forehead, where symmetrical flame marks had appeared at some point.

And at this moment, another memory suddenly appeared in his mind. It was the figure of a swordsman whose face could not be seen clearly, and there was also a flame-red mark on his forehead.

Along with this memory came a shuddering fear...

However, at the moment Akaza hesitated, Zhang Qi's attack had already arrived. It was an indescribably fast strike, faster than any previous one!

The target is Akaza's head...

The next moment, Akaza suddenly retreated, trying to avoid Zhang Qi's knife.

Then, as Akaza's flesh was torn apart, a huge diagonal blood mark appeared from his neck to his chest.

"Huh~ Almost there..."

Zhang Qi was breathing heavily, looking at Akaza who had retreated far away with a look of regret. At the last moment, he had exited the state of the transparent world.

This allowed the opponent's Luo needle to find a flaw, thus avoiding his attack...

This was simply because he was not yet accustomed to the state of the transparent world. Concentrating all his attention and strengthening his senses to collect intelligence was much more difficult than he had imagined.

"..."

Akaza didn't say anything more, but just looked down at the wound on his chest that was still healing.

Just now he truly felt the threat of death. If his compass needle had reacted a little slower, or if Zhang Qi had maintained that state a little longer.

There's no doubt that he was the one who died...

Recalling the feeling just now, when the fear ended, a strong anger suddenly rose in my heart.

Veins bulged on Akaza's forehead; he almost died just now.

If I die, I won't be the strongest!!
"Why do you want to be the strongest?"

At this moment, a gentle figure sounded from behind Akaza.

Of course it is...

Akaza was stunned when he heard this and was about to answer but couldn't continue.

So he threw a punch directly, but the punch was blocked by the phantom of a tall man in a white Taoist robe.

Who is this?

Akaza was stunned, and when he came to his senses, he realized that there was nothing behind him.

I suddenly felt a little upset...

What is this guy doing?

Zhang Qi frowned upon seeing this. The transparent world was more energy-consuming than he had thought. If he continued to fight, he would have to find a good opportunity.

Fortunately, he only suffered some minor injuries, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to continue fighting...

And the sun is about to rise. If he continues to fight, he will be the winner.

However, at this moment, Akaza lost the intention to fight. After turning his head to glance at Zhang Qi, he jumped a few times and ran towards the outskirts of the town.

Huh?! Is it because the sun is about to rise?

Zhang Qi was stunned when he saw this, and was a little confused for a moment. How could this Upper Rank Three just run away like that?

……

at the same time
In another town, in a luxurious mansion
In the study, a handsome man in a Western suit had an ugly expression on his face. Behind him were collapsed bookshelves and a headless corpse in a maid's outfit that had lost its head.

Just now, his memory was triggered, and the unpleasant feeling made him feel a little nauseous.

So he called Akaza back, wanting to ask what this guy had been through and why he was reminded of something he didn't want to recall! !
"Damn it, it's been so long, why is he still haunting me?!" Thinking of this, Muzan gritted his teeth and said, and with his huge grip, the cup in his hand broke instantly, and the brown coffee spilled all over the floor.

Obviously, that guy was just a human being, and after he died, he should have ordered people to erase all traces of him.

Why...something reminded him of the humiliation of that day again?!

……

On the other side, in Zhang Qi's alien space
"Hey? Are we just the two of us today?"

Zhang Qi from Demon Slayer said to Zhang Qi from the Kaihu world that because the time in each world is not synchronized and everyone has their own things to do, it is difficult to get together.

But it doesn't matter because of the experience sharing mechanism, as they can download experience from any Zhang Qi.

But what he didn't expect was that this time, only he and his Sea Tiger World were left...

"That should be it... I might not be able to come these few days..."

Haihu Zhang Qi nodded and continued.

"What happened?"

Ghost Slayer Zhang Qi was stunned and asked curiously.

"I've arrived at Shaolin Temple..."

Haihu Zhang Qi said that a few days ago he bid farewell to hell and embarked on a journey to Shaolin Temple.

Now they have arrived at the territory of Songshan. He needs to practice and may not be able to come here in a short time.

"That's great! I've also made some progress these days!"

Demon Slayer Zhang Qi smiled when he heard this, and then he stretched out his hand.

Seeing this, Haihu Zhang Qi directly shook it, and then a wave of memories came to his mind, including the experiences of Demon Slayer Zhang Qi in the past few days.

"You've comprehended the world so quickly?!"

Haihu Zhang Qi asked in surprise, it’s only been a month, and he has already achieved this level?
"That's normal. In the original story, it only took two years for Tanjiro to gain enlightenment from the beginning of his training.

The combined time we have spent practicing in several worlds is more than enough; what we lack is only practical experience.

The appearance of Upper Three just happened to be the last piece of the puzzle..."

Demon Slayer Zhang Qi explained that in terms of training time, the total time he has spent in several worlds is several decades.

It's just a layer of window paper...

"That's true~"

Haihu Zhang Qi nodded when he heard this. It was enough for them to practice. What they lacked was to show the results of their practice in battle.

That's what we call practical experience...

"I hope this will be helpful to you. I'll be leaving now."

Demon Slayer Zhang Qi smiled and then disappeared.

After he defeated Upper Rank Three, he waited for the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Hakure.

Then, relying on his outstanding battle record, he was carried away respectfully by these hidden people.

I'm currently on my way to the Butterfly House for treatment. Being disconnected for a long time isn't a good idea. If I'm mistaken for being unconscious, it could cause a big fuss.

"it is good."

……

sea ​​tiger world
Zhang Qi woke up from his bed in the hotel, then stood up and looked out onto the balcony.

In the high mountains, the roof of the temple shines brightly in the early morning sun.

This is the destination of his trip, Shaolin Temple...
