Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Comics to American Comics, a Powerful Attack

Chu Yang remembered something very important and began searching for the man named Tanjuro.

After turning two corners, Chu Yang saw a thin man talking to the owner in front of an oden shop.

The man carried a basket on his back, which was thicker than himself and filled with charcoal. He also held the hand of a little boy who looked very much like him, with bright red hair and a scar on his forehead that resembled a burn.

The shop owner planned to buy all the charcoal from the man's basket to use in the shop's heater, so that customers could eat more comfortably.

The man named Tanjuro smiled; business had gone smoothly that day, and he had sold all the charcoal in his basket before nightfall.

Chapter 65 The Ghost in the Carpenter's Shop

65.

Chu Yang was still wondering whether he should pretend to be a customer buying oden and then greet Tanjuro so that the other party wouldn't suspect anything.

Then a peculiar stench filled the air, interrupting Chu Yang's train of thought.

He followed the smell and saw a carpentry shop across the street.

The little boy next to Tanjuro seemed to smell the stench as well, and his face showed disgust and loathing. But he was too young to know what the smell meant.

After thinking it over, Chu Yang decided to deal with the ghost hiding in the woodworking shop first before going to find Tanjuro.

"Ah, I remember now. Nezuko told me before we left that she wanted a toy. Tanjiro, how about we go buy a toy for your sister?" After unloading Tanjuro's charcoal, Tanjuro coughed a few times and then bent down to discuss it with the little boy.

"Okay, let's go buy Nezuko a toy!" Young Tanjiro said excitedly.

The toys Tanjuro was talking about were actually some inexpensive wooden trinkets, which could be bought at the woodworking shop right across the street.

But today, the woodworking shop that should have opened much earlier was still closed. Tanjuro decided to knock on the door and ask the owner to sell him some toys if he was home.

Given Tanjuro's personality, he would never cause trouble for others if he hadn't promised Nezuko before leaving.

The father and son walked hand in hand toward the carpentry shop.

Young Tanjiro excitedly grabbed his father's hand and skipped along the road.

"Be careful, Tanjiro." Tanjuro gently reminded his son, unaware that a tall figure was blocking his way.

"This shop is closed, I'll come again next time."

Hearing the sound, Tanjuro looked up and saw Chu Yang standing between them and the woodworking shop. Tanjuro frowned slightly, but he still explained politely, "I'm sorry, I'm in a real hurry to order some things. If this has caused any inconvenience, I apologize to the owner."

Having said that, I decided to avoid trouble.

Tanjuro led his son around Chu Yang and continued walking towards the woodworking shop.

Chu Yang sighed. Honest people can be stubborn, and they are indeed not easy to deal with. So he followed them.

Tanjuro, who has been practicing Hinokami Kagura, also known as Sun Breathing, for many years, has a more acute sense than ordinary people, despite suffering from a serious illness. He can sense that Chu Yang is following behind him, and a hint of worry flashes in his eyes.

Tanjuro could tell from the young man's aura that he was no ordinary person. He was well aware of his own physical condition, and if the other party came with ill intentions, he would not be able to bear the consequences, regardless of whether he won or lost, if they really fought.

Tanjuro subconsciously quickened his pace, thinking he could buy some toys from the woodworking shop as soon as possible and leave quickly.

Young Tanjiro sensed his father's anxiety and stopped fooling around, nervously keeping up with his father's pace.

He didn't know why his father was so flustered. Was it because of the older brother behind him?

But the older brother doesn't seem like a bad person, because he doesn't have any bad smell about him...

Before he knew it, Tanjuro had walked to the front of the woodworking shop and reached out to knock on the door.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed his wrist.

"Don't go too far, sir!" Tanjuro glared angrily, still hesitating whether to make a move.

Chu Yang did something that surprised Tanjuro: he put his index finger to his lips, signaling Tanjuro to be quiet.

Tanjuro was stunned; the other person didn't seem to be looking for trouble.

Just then, Tanjiro's face lit up with terror. He frantically tugged at his father's hand and pointed at the woodworking shop, saying, "Father, there's a smell of blood in here, lots and lots of blood..."

Tanjuro's expression suddenly changed. He knew how outstanding Tanjiro's sense of smell was; it was absolutely impossible for him to be wrong. That meant there really was a lot of blood in the shop.

Furthermore, given that the woodworking shop, which should have opened long ago, remained closed, Tanjuro instantly realized that the shop owner might have been murdered.

The question is, how did this young man know that?

Tanjuro looked at Chu Yang with a face full of doubt.

Chu Yang whispered a word in his ear, and Tanjuro looked at Chu Yang with surprise and doubt. He had always thought that such a creature only existed in legends.

ghost!

"You don't believe me?" Chu Yang had anticipated Tanjuro's reaction. He placed his hand on the door and whispered, "The ghost is behind the door..."

Tanjuro pulled his son back repeatedly. Although he didn't quite believe it, he was still a little scared.

“You’ll be fine if you stand in the sunlight.” Chu Yang grabbed the handle, preparing to open the door. His reason for coming to this town was to eliminate this ghost.

Anyone who dares to linger in town during the day is practically courting death. Ghosts should be like rats in the street, hiding in dark sewers.

"Wait a minute," Tanjuro said nervously, "If it really is a demon, what are you going to do?"

"What to do?" Chu Yang chuckled. "Of course, kill him. I'm a demon hunter."

"Demon slayers?" Tanjuro suddenly remembered some legends about demon slayers that his parents had told him when he was a child, as if there was some kind of connection between his family and demon slayers.

Hinokami Kagura...

Tanjuro subconsciously thought of this special family skill.

Tanjiro tilted his head, not quite understanding what his father and older brother were saying.

But you could sense that the older brother was about to do something dangerous.

"If you're scared, leave quickly. I'll come visit you after I've dealt with this demon," Chu Yang reminded Tanjuro one last time before leaving.

But Tanjuro asked, "Will everything be fine as long as I stand in the sunlight?"

Chu Yang felt that this guy seemed very eager to confirm the existence of the ghost. Without saying much, he violently ripped open the door, attracting the attention of the surrounding vendors.

"Hey! What are you doing, causing trouble in someone else's shop! Tanjuro, stop that guy right now!" The oden shop owner across the street shouted.

Tanjuro did not do as the oden shop owner told him to do.

Instead, after Chu Yang opened the door, he quickly led Tanjiro backward.

Chu Yang walked alone into the dimly lit shop.

It was pitch black inside, with not a single ray of light, and outside it was already sunset, unable to illuminate the interior of the carpentry shop.

"Seriously, what are you guys doing?!" The oden owner fumed as he walked over after seeing Chu Yang break down the door and walk in so brazenly.

"Stand right here, don't come any closer!" Tanjuro anxiously grabbed the oden shop owner's clothes, afraid that the man would be rude and barge in.

"What's wrong with you today, Tanjuro? You're not like your usual self at all!" The oden shop owner looked at Tanjuro in surprise, suddenly feeling a strange sense of unfamiliarity. He frowned, shook off Tanjuro's hand, and walked stubbornly toward the woodworking shop.

Chapter 66: The God of Fire, Kagura

66.

Tanjuro tried to stop him, but his chest began to ache, and his throat itched, causing him to cough violently.

"Father!" Tanjiro stood by in a panic, wanting to help but not knowing where to start.

Hearing Tanjuro's violent coughing, the oden shop owner hesitated for a moment, then turned back and gently patted Tanjuro's back, saying, "You really need to rest properly."

Boom! ! ! !

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud noise suddenly came from the carpentry shop in front of them, and the whole shop shook violently, startling everyone around.

The next second, a dark shadow flew out from inside and landed right at the feet of the oden shop owner.

It looks like a human, but it is covered with sharp teeth and claws, and has a ferocious appearance.

The oden vendor was so frightened by just one glance that he kept backing away.

Although it wasn't noon, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ghost, still unleashing astonishing power and instantly igniting its entire body.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

The ghost's painful wails attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Some people were so frightened by this scene that they trembled all over, their intense fear mixed with doubt and confusion.

What the hell is this?

Everyone watched helplessly as the human-like monster was burned to ashes.

Tanjuro had already blindfolded young Tanjiro and watched the entire monster's death in a heart-stopping manner.

Everything is true.

"Where's that young man?" Coming back to his senses, Tanjuro looked towards the woodworking shop, but it was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything.

"Was this monster thrown out by that young man just now?" The oden shop owner was almost paralyzed with fear, his face turning deathly pale.

While the two were still wondering, Chu Yang had already left the shop through the back door, reached the woods outside the city, and taken out his horse-slaying sword.
