Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Strength: 3.1 (The strength of a normal adult is 1.)

Mental state: 5.5 (The normal mental state for an adult is 1.)

Now, on my character panel, which has never changed before, there has been a long-awaited change. There is now a new breathing technique, and the 'Sun Breathing' skill is displayed above it.

Although the character panel in my mind doesn't have much practical use, it can accurately reflect my own situation.

Now that the "Breath of the Sun" has appeared above, it proves that I have indeed comprehended the "Breath of the Sun," and this is not my illusion.

The things that were impossible before but are now suddenly possible are clearly related to his consumption of the Blue Spider Lily and his evolution into a perfect life form.

Indeed, evolving into a perfect life form involves not only overcoming the fear of light, but also controlling the desires of one's own flesh and blood.

Even one's own talent and comprehension may have been greatly improved, but these are all latent and difficult to perceive.

If he hadn't grasped the 'Breathing of the Sun' so quickly, he might not have sensed it so soon.

"Indeed, this is the perfect life."

Su Mu couldn't help but sigh, and looking at Tanjiro who was still dancing the 'Hinokami Kagura Dance', he also smiled and said, "Stop it."

Tanjiro stopped. He had been pondering this while he was jumping, and now he had some ideas. So he couldn't help but say, "I feel like I've thought of something."

"Oh?"

Su Mu smiled and then handed the Nichirin Blade at his waist to the other person: "Give it a try."

"it is good."

Tanjiro accepted the Nichirin Blade without hesitation.

Having grown accustomed to using an axe, Tanjiro felt somewhat out of place holding a Nichirin Blade. However, he was quite excited and unconsciously examined the sword in his hand.

As the gentle sunlight streamed through the window and shone on the blade, one could vaguely sense the flickering flames dancing on its surface.

This startled Tanjiro slightly, especially as he tightened his grip, the faint flame seemed to go out, and the entire blade seemed to darken.

"This……"

Tanjiro was somewhat alarmed by the changes in the Nichirin Blade.

"Don't worry about it."

Su Mu chuckled beside him: "This is the Nichirin Blade for slaying demons. Its color changes depending on its master and also reflects the breathing technique the master practices. For example, if you practice 'Sun Breathing,' the blade will turn into an extremely rare black, while 'Water Breathing' will turn into blue."

As he spoke, a hint of doubt appeared in Su Mu's eyes. He remembered that the Nichirin Blade would change color according to the owner's breathing style, but once it changed color, it would not change again. The previous owner of this blade must have practiced 'Flame Breathing', so it always appeared fiery red, like leaping flames. When he held it in his hand, there was not much change. He never expected that it would suddenly change like this today.

Tanjiro, unaware of Su Mu's doubts, gripped his sword and walked out of the house, recalling the 'Hinokami Kagura Dance' he had performed before beginning to swing it according to his instincts.

Although he had no specific sword training and had never actually practiced with a sword, the boy's hand holding the sword was very steady, and his slashing power was also very strong.

He was practically a born swordsman.

The sound of swords clashing drew the attention of the Kamado family. Kamado Aoi looked up from washing dishes, while Nezuko, who was watching her younger brother and sister, also looked at her older brother. Takeo, Shigeru, and Hanako also stopped playing and watched their brother practice swordsmanship.

Tanjiro became more and more excited as he practiced. As a young man, who hadn't dreamed of becoming a samurai who roamed the world? Although the samurai class had declined due to the 'Sword Ban Edict' and other reasons, the true samurai had only become more alluring. Perhaps everyone wanted to be a swordsman, everyone wanted to settle scores quickly, and everyone wanted to hold the real power of life and death in their hands.

At that moment, as he gripped his sword, Tanjiro felt as if he had truly become a samurai.

With another slash, a whooshing sound filled the air, and the blade of the Nichirin Blade, which had gradually turned black, now radiated a scorching heat.

That's the special "burning" damage to demons contained in the "Breathing of the Sun," which is one of the reasons why the "Breathing of the Sun" is the most threatening to demons of all the "breathing techniques."

Just as Tanjiro was immersed in his own world, a gentle male voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Move your left foot forward a little more, and press down a little more when you grip the knife."

As Tanjiro swung his sword, he subconsciously followed the instructions of the voice. After completing the action, Tanjiro was surprised to find that when he moved his feet forward slightly, his feet seemed to be more stable on the ground. When he pressed his sword-wielding hand down a little, he felt that he was holding the sword more smoothly.

At this moment, Tanjiro's heart was filled with shock.

"Move the blade forward a little more, then leap, keeping your body in reserve while in the air..."

The man's voice came next, and Tanjiro did exactly as instructed. It was almost his first time, but he did almost everything very well.

After following the instructions, Tanjiro felt that whether he was wielding his sword or breathing, the explosive power contained within his body in a short period of time could be stretched and released in a very short time.

With another slash, following the man's voice, Tanjiro stopped, panting, and turned around to look at the man standing in the doorway in shock.

"Very good, Tanjiro."

Su Mu stood at the door and clapped his hands.

Tanjiro should have been happy, but at this moment, he felt a little embarrassed, after all, the other party should have been in better control than him.

"Compared to adults... I'm still far behind."

The boy approached the man and respectfully presented the Nichirin Blade with both hands.

"It's already pretty good."

Su Mu smiled and patted Tanjiro on the shoulder, praising him.

Feeling the force on his shoulder, Tanjiro couldn't help but look up. The man's figure was very tall, just like his father had stood in front of him before.

Su Mu patted Tanjiro on the shoulder, then looked at Nezuko, Takeo Kamado, Hanako, Shigeru, and others who had gathered around...

"Do you want to practice like your older brother?"

Su Mu adopted a gentle demeanor.

"think."

As the second oldest boy after his older brother Tanjiro, Kamado Takeo mustered his courage.

“From now on, Takeo can practice with us too.”

Su Mu revealed a gentle smile.

"Sir, is it okay if a girl is also allowed?"

Besides Nezuko, the second oldest girl in the family, Hanako Kamado, nervously raised her hand.

Looking at the adorable face that almost resembled Nezuko's, Su Mu nodded: "Of course, girls can also become beautiful female swordsmen."

At this moment, Nezuko couldn't help but raise her head, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of longing. She unconsciously fell on the delicate girl beside Su Mu. The girl stood quietly in the man's shadow. Seemingly noticing Nezuko's gaze, she glanced at her with her pinkish-purple eyes, which startled Nezuko, who quickly shrank back.

But then, feeling that she was too weak, she raised her head again and, seeing that Kanao didn't seem to be paying attention, secretly stuck out her little tongue at her.

Chapter 119 Killing Muzan Kibutsuji (2/4)

The news that the 'Renyi Clan' had been slaughtered spread like wildfire throughout the town. Many people in the slums cheered, but the one who started it all was actually uneasy inside.

For Tanjiro, whose kind nature was not so easy to accept, it was the cruel thing of taking someone's life with a blade for the first time.

Tanjiro went into a food shop and bought a chicken and some side dishes for lunch.

"Tanjiro, you bought so much stuff again."

The shopkeeper, having cleaned the chicken, handed it to Tanjiro. After taking Tanjiro's money, he sighed, "Spending so much money, are we going to live like this again?"

The shop owner knew about the boy's family situation; these past few days, he had been spending a lot of money.

"It was the gentleman who asked me to buy it."

Tanjiro looked up and gave a bright, sunny smile.

"I see. I heard that your relative has been staying at your house for several days and has been taking good care of you. I really envy you for having such a good relative."

Tanjiro simply scratched his head and smiled.

"Are you aware of what happened with 'Renyi Zhong' a few days ago?"

The shop owner gave Tanjiro some change, speaking casually but with an excited tone.

Tanjiro, who was about to leave, paused slightly and lowered his head: "I know. I heard that someone broke in at night and cruelly murdered all the members of the 'Jingishu'."

"Ha... Tanjiro, this isn't cruel killing, this is good killing, brilliant killing!"

The shop owner corrected Tanjiro's words and said happily, "There should be more people like this. Only when there are more people like this will those who do evil not dare to be so rampant. If that person comes to my shop to buy something, I will definitely give such a good person a free meal."

Tanjiro looked at the item in his hand, then at the shop owner, and gave an awkward smile:

"Was it really a good kill?"

"Of course, haven't you noticed how much better my business has been these past few days? Look, everyone's smiling a lot more."

As the shop owner spoke, he pointed to the vendors selling goods around him: "In the past, those 'righteous people' would come and exploit us, even robbing us of things, but now, none of that happens..."

Tanjiro couldn't help but look at the street vendors, and sure enough, he found that the once lifeless street seemed to have become more vibrant.

Tanjiro carried his purchases home, encountering several acquaintances along the way who greeted him. He could occasionally overhear conversations.

"Ha, have you heard? The 'Renyi Zhong' have all been slaughtered."

"You're only just finding out now!"

"Yes, I only heard about it today. They really did a great job killing them."

"Those people died for good. It would be great if they could also kill a few of the 'Sadamachi Kai' people. It would be too bad to have a few 'Tongxin' members."

“Hey, I heard that after the death of a member of the ‘Renxin Zhong’, many ‘Tongxin’ members are too scared to go out.”

…………

Tanjiro bought some more things from the street vendors and listened to their conversations. It felt as if a weight had been pressing on his heart.

He smiled, glanced at the ingredients in his hand, and hurried home, his steps much lighter.

Not even at the doorstep

Then they heard a shout.

Hearing this, Tanjiro quickened his pace and soon saw his younger brother and sister practicing with a man in a fairly spacious open space near the entrance, both holding wooden swords.

The younger sister, Hanako, practiced clumsily, but her wooden sword looked somewhat decent. The younger brother, Takeo, swung his wooden sword with a whooshing sound, while the even younger Shigeru wobbled awkwardly.

As for Nezuko, she was sparring with the very powerful Kanao. She was probably knocked down, but she got up again, grabbed her wooden sword, and charged at Kanao. Kanao knocked her down again, and Nezuko's eyes turned red.

Tanjiro was a little worried about Nezuko, but when the powerful Kanao's gaze swept over him, Tanjiro involuntarily shrank back. He also felt a sharp pain in his wrist from being hit by the bamboo stick, and hurriedly lowered his head, as if afraid of attracting the attention of this powerful girl.

Nezuko, who had just been knocked to the ground and was covered in dust, had her eyes light up when she saw her brother arrive. But she immediately saw her brother shrink back and puff out his cheeks after being glanced at by Kanao.

Kaki, wearing a pink apron and a brand new outfit, walked over quickly.

The woman's tiredness had lessened considerably, replaced by a rosy complexion. Her hair was styled into a bun on top of her head, and she now wore a relaxed smile.
