Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 110 Abandoned Son
Xianyue looked at Fang Yi who turned and walked towards the Demon Slayer Corps base, stopped running, and became a little nervous.

It began to wonder if its acting skills were poor, or if the other party was an unusually cautious person, which was why he didn't chase it.

"I said that the plan proposed by Chen Cheng is definitely unreliable."

"It's not my problem if the target doesn't chase me!"

"My acting skills are definitely fine!"

While the ghost was thinking about how to pass the buck after the mission failed, he opened his eyes wide, trying to observe Fang Yi's movements and decide his own actions.

When the ghost saw Fang Yi starting to chase him, he felt relieved and continued to faithfully play the role of a fleeing ghost.

At the same time, he secretly cursed Chen Cheng in his heart.

"You're so arrogant, you actually let me be the bait."

"He even brought someone taller than him to pin him down, forcing him to do something risky."

"If it weren't for my excellent acting skills, how could the target have taken the bait? I'm the one who did the most for this mission!"

The ghost maintained a certain speed to ensure that Fang Yi, who ran a little slowly, would not lose him, and at the same time began to imagine his future development.

"This man's knife is a bit dangerous. I have a chance of winning a fight with him, but to be on the safe side, let's stick to the plan."

"After completing my mission, I will diligently develop my blood demon arts and ask Muzan Kibutsuji for more blood."

"People like Chen Cheng will definitely be trampled under my feet."

Seeing that Fang Yi was about to follow him into the ambush point set up in Chen Cheng's plan, Xi Yue became completely relaxed.

With three Upper Ranks and one with combat power comparable to that of an Upper Rank, the four of them attack together. It is naturally easy to ambush a swordsman who is at the level of Upper Rank Six as personally evaluated by Lord Muzan.

Even Xiong Yue felt that Chen Cheng's plan was a bit redundant and cautious. For a swordsman like this, he could even try to kill the opponent in a one-on-one fight.

Is it really necessary to first poison the opponent, then issue some tasks in the name of Lord Muzan, and recruit some miscellaneous soldiers to consume the opponent's physical strength?
As the ghost ran forward, he began to show disdain for Chen Cheng's actions.

"Chen Cheng isn't as formidable as he claims to be. He only counted on this swordsman's presence today to be of use."

"The enemy is also stupid. They were actually poisoned and actually followed me."

“They are all stupid people.”

The ambush point is right in front of us, this house. As long as the swordsman behind us follows, the opponent will definitely die.

But Yaoyue's intuition always told it that something was wrong, or something was missing.

What would that be?

Yaoyue had a feeling that the answer was very important, but it hadn't figured it out yet.
-
Standing in front of the empty house, Yaoyue found that everything before him was completely different from what he had expected, causing him to feel a strong sense of unease.

After it realized that it had turned into a ghost, sweat, which rarely appeared, suddenly appeared on its face and dripped down its cheeks to the ground. The house was silent and there was not even a trace of wind, as if the whole world was laughing at its ignorance and blindness.

It took a deep breath, trying to calm its fear, but this only made it feel more clearly that it was in danger.

Its palms began to sweat, and the knife it was holding tightly was shaking slightly from the excessive force.

Xiaoyue began to use his senses to search for his companions. However, apart from himself, there was no one here—no Chen Cheng, no two upper-rank ones as planned.

It recalled Chen Cheng's plan, and a chill spread through its heart.

According to the plan, this should be the ambush point. Chen Cheng and the two upper ranks should have been lying in ambush here, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

But now, only Fang Yi is chasing after him.

An ominous premonition rose from deep within its heart, as if all this was an elaborate trap.

It drew its sword, looked at Fang Yi, and while attacking with all its strength, it began to think about why Chen Cheng and the two upper ranks did not appear here.

After a moment, its not-so-smart brain figured it out. Or rather, Fang Yi's few slashes cleared it up, and it understood Chen Cheng's true plan.

It looked at Fang Yi, who had unleashed a fighting force beyond its expectations and forced it into danger with just a few casual strikes. Feeling somewhat desperate, it was expending its energy to restore the sword made of its flesh and blood while wondering how long it could live.

After the ghost fought Fang Yi with all his strength and had his sword cut off by the opponent, he understood.

He was abandoned.

The costs and benefits of Chen Cheng's plan had already been marked.

And that is the price of the plan.
-
Looking at Xian Yue who stopped not far away, Fang Yi appeared arrogant and eager for success, but in fact his alertness reached the highest level.

Chen Cheng should take action here.

Although Chen Cheng's plan was extremely poorly thought out and resembled a perfect mosquito trap, Fang Yi still pretended to step into it without thinking.

Chen Cheng's plan was full of loopholes. It was like a mosquito trap made of a handful of salt, a bottle cap of wine, a wooden stick, and a stone placed on the ground.

Whenever a mosquito lands on the salt, it thinks it is sugar and will feel very thirsty after eating the salt, but the bottle cap contains wine.

After getting drunk, the mosquito tripped over a stick and hit his head against a rock, killing himself.

Chen Cheng poisoned the scabbard of the Nichirin Sword and tricked a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers to come and consume him. He also used Gyoyue to pretend to be a Lower-rank demon to lure him into chasing him, luring him into a trap, and finally ambush him.

If there is a problem in any link, the other party's plan cannot be carried out, and you have to cooperate with him.

After he had perfectly cooperated with the other party in the performance, Chen Cheng should finally come out and say something.

Fang Yi drew out the Sun Wheel Sword, used breathing techniques, and began to search for enemies who might attack him in the dark.

As a result, he did not find the expected enemy, but only saw Xiao Yue who was sweating all over.

[Can ghosts sweat? This Xiaoyue's acting is so good? I was born in the wrong place. Or is this not the ambush site?]

Fang Yi decided to play a few tricks with the opponent. He lowered his attributes to the level before entering the field, and at the same time used the sword skill [Breath of Flame] that he had learned a few days ago.

"Evil ghost! Today is your end!"

[Breathing of Flame·Type Five·Flame Tiger]

Fang Yi thrust forward with all his strength, and the entire knife seemed to transform into a raging tiger that wanted to bite its prey, attacking towards Xiyue.

Even though Fang Yi had let it go, the ghost didn't react until his knife was close to Xiong Yue's body.

In a hurry, it used the sword skills it was most familiar with.

【Thunder Breathing·Type 2·Rice Soul】

Yao Yue swung his sword, launching five consecutive lightning-shaped attacks.

But the sword skill [Breath of Thunder], which should have been known for its speed, became slow in Fang Yi's eyes.

"Your knife is really slow. If you keep going like this, you'll die."

In an instant, Fang Yi found eleven ways to cut off Xiong Yue's neck and forty-four ways to make the opponent lose his resistance.

But Fang Yi, who played the weaker man, chose the kindest way - he cut off the opponent's sword with one knife.

[Your sword can regenerate anyway]

[Stop acting, show your full strength]

Fang Yi felt that this ghost was still acting and had not used his full strength, so he chose to cooperate with the other party's performance, lowering his strength and waiting for Chen Cheng to appear.
