Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

When they first took on the mission to hunt down Upper Moon Two, everyone even considered sacrificing themselves on this path, and some were even prepared to do so.

But it was so easy.

There wasn't much fighting involved; it didn't feel like slaying a powerful Upper Moon demon, but rather like slaying an ordinary demon.

Bathed in sunlight, Doma's body gradually dissipated, and his life slowly slipped away.

At this moment, Su Mu put down his arm that was supporting Kanae Butterfly and stepped forward.

Domo raised his head and looked at Su Mu who was walking up. He vaguely sensed that Su Mu was of the same kind as him and was somewhat puzzled.

With a swift and clean stroke, Su Mu severed Doma's head from his neck with the Nichirin Blade.

As the blade severed Doma's neck, a faint red light, barely visible to the naked eye, circled Doma's body before returning to Su Mu's body.

A powerful warm current entered the body along with the red light and surged within.

At that moment, Su Mu felt his body suddenly become extremely powerful and stronger, and at the same time, he also noticed that his blood was beginning to change.

是 的

Doma can turn his frozen blood into mist-like 'ice crystals' and then disperse them into the air. Anything that comes into contact with the ice crystals will be frozen. If these ice crystals are inhaled into the lungs, they can cause breathing difficulties and even lead to alveolar necrosis.

This Blood Demon Technique, which originally countered the 'Breathing Technique' swordsmanship, was now also mastered by Su Mu.

This also includes Doma's Blood Demon Art, which is based on this.

With Su Mu's 'Devour', Douma mastered all of the Blood Demon Arts he possessed. Moreover, the change in strength brought about by devouring an Upper Moon Two was far beyond what ordinary demons could achieve.

Originally, Su Mu's strength was roughly equivalent to that of a 'Pillar'. Now, having devoured Doma, his strength has reached an even higher level. Even the strongest Pillar, Himejima Gyomei, would probably be no match for him.

The change in strength brought Su Mu a slight sense of joy.

Behind him, Himejima Gyomei slightly raised his head, his 'Mind's Eye' keenly sensing Su Mu's change.

"Su Mu seems to have suddenly become stronger."

Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together, his face showing a mixture of doubt and confusion.

The others also turned their attention to Su Mu at this moment.

Chapter 263 Mind's Eye

Beiming Island Xingming had already lost his sight and could not see anything.

However, to outsiders, Gyomei Himejima's life seemed perfectly normal, and his blindness did not seem to affect his daily routine.

It didn't even affect the battle in the slightest.

This is all because Gyomei Himejima awakened an ability similar to 'mind's eye'.

The so-called telepathy

It is through changes in the surrounding atmosphere and the surrounding noises that a similar image is formed in the mind.

Although he couldn't see anything around him, everything around him was as clear as a candle flame in Hishima Gyomei's mind.

Therefore, when Su Mu's aura suddenly became stronger, all these changes were as clearly visible to Beiming Yuxingming as a candle flame in the darkness.

The sudden increase in strength struck Himejima Gyomei as odd, which is why he spoke up abruptly.

Of course, they didn't think of Su Mu as a ghost, after all, no ghost is bathed in sunlight, they just felt strange about Su Mu's sudden increase in strength.

Kyojuro Rengoku, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and even the injured Kanae Kocho did not doubt Gyomei Himejima's words, and all looked at Su Mu with curiosity in their eyes.

For a moment, Su Mu wondered if his identity as a demon had been discovered, but he forcibly suppressed the thought and calmly sheathed his sword.

"The mission to hunt down Upper Moon Two, Doma, is over."

Su Mu didn't explain the questions raised by Xingming Beiming and the curiosity of everyone else. He simply said, "Next, we will head directly to Upper Moon Six and participate in the hunt for Upper Moon Six."

In addition to having tracked down Upper Moon Two, the Ice Demon, Doma, the Demon Slayer Corps has also tracked down Upper Moon Six, the Twin Demons, Gyutaro and Daki.

The Demon Slayer Corps is now aware of Upper Moon Six and believes it is lurking near the entertainment district.

It's worth mentioning that many swordsmen from the Demon Slayer Corps have gone missing near the entertainment district, including some of the Pillars.

I used to be very confused, but now I basically understand that they must have all died at the hands of Upper Moon Six, and perhaps their deaths were not very dignified.

"Okay, let's head to Flower Street right away."

Rengoku Kyojuro also clenched his fists, his face radiating fiery passion.

Sanemi Shinazugawa glanced at Su Mu with curiosity, but said nothing.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha".

Although Beimingyu Xingming was puzzled, he also felt that this might be Su Mu's secret. Moreover, it seemed that Su Mu did not want to tell him, and Beimingyu Xingming did not want to pry into other people's secrets. Therefore, he put his hands together and uttered a Buddhist chant:

"Then, as Mr. Su Mu says, we shall proceed to Flower Street immediately."

Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief before continuing, "Miss Kanae suffered some serious injuries on this trip. She shouldn't go on the brothel mission this time. She should stay and rest."

Kanae Butterfly was unwilling to give up, believing that she could continue to the next battle as long as her wound was bandaged up, but since Su Mu had said so, she had no choice but to obey.

After all, the successful hunt for Upper Moon Two allowed Kanae Kocho to witness Su Mu's abilities, and it also made her somewhat convinced of his capabilities.

After all, hunting demons, especially powerful Upper Moon demons, with almost no casualties was unprecedented, which made Kanae Kocho admire Su Mu to some extent.

…………

When Su Mu announced the end of the hunt for Upper Moon Two, having successfully slain Upper Moon Two Doma, the swordsmen who participated in the mission all felt a sense of unreality.

When did ghost hunting quests become so easy?

In fact, many swordsmen were prepared to die when they later learned that it was a hunt for the Upper Moon Two of the Twelve Demon Moons. Perhaps they were no match for the Upper Moon Two, but they could use their lives to delay the Pillars and create opportunities for them to fight.

However, from the beginning to the end of the hunt for Upper Moon Two, there was almost no danger.

This made many swordsmen look at Su Mu in a noticeably different light.

Previously, although Su Mu had a certain reputation in the Demon Slayer Corps, many swordsmen did not really think much of him, after all, Su Mu was not a 'Pillar'.

But now, under his leadership, even Upper Moon Two, whom the Pillars couldn't handle, was easily surrounded and killed without suffering any casualties.

This has enormous implications.

…………

Almost immediately after the hunt ended, news of the hunt for Upper Moon Two, the Ice Demon, Doma, spread throughout the Demon Slayer Corps via the Kasugai Crows.

Almost all the swordsmen who heard the news were initially skeptical.

After all, that was the Upper Moon 2 of the Twelve Demon Moons.

In the history of the Demon Slayer Corps, there are almost no examples of Upper Moon demons being slain.

It's important to understand that even slaying a Lower Rank demon means a swordsman can become a 'Pillar' of the Demon Slayer Corps. What's more, it's an Upper Rank Two demon, which is ranked extremely high among the Upper Rank demons.

"No one died when the Upper Moon Two was killed; only Kanae suffered some injuries."

When Teruya Ubuyashiki received the message from Kasugai, he couldn't help but stand up, his face beaming with excitement: "Mr. Su Mu, you are truly remarkable."

Teruya Ubuyashiki went to see his mother, Amane Ubuyashiki, in a great hurry.

Ubuyashiki Amane knows her son very well. In some ways, Ubuyashiki Teriyaki is almost a younger version of Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

"I have met my mother."

Teruya Ubuyashiki first bowed respectfully.

"Judging from your excited expression, you must have some good news."

Ubuya Shiki Tenon spoke softly.

"Yes, Mother, it's news about the hunt for Upper Moon Two."

Teruya Ubuyashiki immediately spoke up.

Beside her, Hina Ubuyashiki, who was helping her mother with the matter, suddenly looked up nervously. She knew that Su Mu was in charge of hunting down Upper Moon Two.

Ubuyashiki Amane took the letter, glanced at it, and then looked up: "Is the information correct?"

"No, Mother."

Teruya Ubuyashiki gave an affirmative answer.

Ubuyashiki Amane was momentarily dazed, for even when her husband, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, was still alive, he had never killed an Upper Moon Two.

They didn't even suffer any casualties.

It's really hard to believe.

"Mother……"

Seeing her mother in a daze, Ubuya Shiki Hina felt a little nervous and worried.

"Look..."

Ubuyashiki Amane glanced at her daughter and handed her the letter.

Hina Ubuyashiki nervously took the letter and read it with trepidation, fearing it might contain bad news. However, as soon as she finished reading, the girl's furrowed brows relaxed, and excitement lit up her delicate face:
