Why is the health bar displayed in the world?

"The Flame Pillar is encountering an Upper Rank and needs support urgently!"

The crow brought bad news - very bad news. Li Mo immediately put down his teacup and prepared to leave.

Butterfly Kanae's voice came over: "Is Li-san leaving again?"

"Yes, I must provide support immediately." Li Mo said, turning his head.

As a swordsman, Kanae Kocho certainly knew how great the responsibility of being a "Pillar" was. She did not say anything like staying and resting, but instead said, "I wish you a safe journey."

Chapter 60: "Pillars" and "Strings" 1

The camera is a tool introduced from the West. It is a magical tool that can record a person's true face. It is more accurate than the portraits drawn by the best painters and is almost a perfect replica of the person.

To preserve the good old days, it was after seeing these words that Rengoku Shinjuro spent money to buy such an expensive Western item.

In fact, Ruka's physical condition is not optimistic. The gentle and serious woman in memory has been bedridden for a long time. She looks thin and no longer looks like she used to be. Therefore, Rengoku Shinjuro now wants to record Ruka's appearance. At least, it can show the future Senjuro what kind of beauty their mother is.

However, the camera that he had bought at a high price had turned into pieces scattered around. This large object was the largest item that Rengoku Shinjuro brought home this time, and it was naturally destroyed at the first moment of the battle.

Rengoku Shinjuro held his Nichirin sword in his hand, and the evening breeze blew the white haori with flame patterns on the edge behind him.

There is no relaxed place on my body.

He was very nervous, or rather, concentrated... Rengoku Shinjuro had never thought that there would be a day when he would be so highly concentrated.

Just because of the man in front of him.

Pale skin, short pink hair, light red eyebrows, dark blue toes and fingers, blood red nails. The upper body is wearing a purple-red shirt, exposing a lot of skin, with tattoo-like lines on the skin.

All these appearances reveal the other party’s non-human identity.

Rengoku Shinjuro saw the number in the other person's eyes and slowly read out the number, "Upper Rank, Three?!"

The Twelve Demon Moons are divided into upper and lower moons. During Rengoku Shinjuro's life, he fought against lower moons more than once and even killed them. The one who made the deepest impression on him was a lower moon who used a musket. The opponent's long-range attack was so persistent that Rengoku Shinjuro did not cut off his head and let the opponent escape.

Rengoku Shinjuro thought that since he was able to kill the Lower Moons, the gap between him and the Upper Moons was not that big. The top fighters of the Demon Slayer Corps, the strongest of the "Pillars" and the "Twelve Demon Moons", were equal to the "Upper Moons".

——Even though the Demon Slayer Corps's books record that the "Upper Ranks" need several "Pillars" to join forces to fight, Rengoku Shinjuro is the strongest "Pillar" in the past hundred years.

Perhaps this title has lost its effectiveness after the appearance of Beimingyu Xingming and Li Mo. But Rengoku Shinjuro never thinks of himself as a weak person.

However, the view has just changed.

Rengoku Shinjuro had a brief fight with the Upper Limit in front of him, and their hands collided for several rounds. The opponent's powerful destructive power told him that the Lower String was completely useless in front of the Upper String.

Although they are both "Twelve Demon Moons", the strength of the upper and lower moons is completely different. It would be extremely foolish to speculate the strength of the upper moons based on the strength of the lower moons.

If you can go back, tell the lord about this.

"My name is Akaza, Upper Three. Hello, you are the Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, right? What's your name?" Akaza asked.

"The Flame Pillar, Rengoku Shinjuro."

Akaza said, "Flame Pillar, Flame Pillar. This is the first time I meet a Flame Pillar. You will be the first Flame Pillar I kill."

This is a fierce battle.

Rengoku Shinjuro held the hilt of his sword. This old friend with the flame pattern was the only thing that gave him peace of mind. He adjusted his breathing.

Upper string, very strong.

But oneself is the "pillar".

"A man of the Purgatory family will not be threatened by such nonsense!"

Fear, worry, these negative emotions were rejected. The will to fight slowly rose, and the flame was ignited.

Rengoku Shinjuro has never felt so good before.

Akaza said: "Can your fighting spirit be further condensed? It can be seen that you are very strong and not far from the highest realm."

"How interesting, how interesting. I thought it was going to be a boring mission, but I didn't expect to meet a strong man like you."

"Shinjuro, do you know what's missing from your ultimate state?"

"You will age and die. You are now approaching thirty years old. This is the time when your body is at its peak, but what will happen after that? Your body will decline, and you will never be able to reach that state."

"Become a ghost! Shinjuro, one hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years. The long years will always allow you to reach the highest realm, the pinnacle of martial arts."

Rengoku Shinjuro listened to the other party's words.

For warriors, the highest realm has infinite appeal. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

but……

"Akoza, I will not become a demon."

"The "pillars" of the Demon Slayer Corps will never become demons."

"A man from the Purgatory family will never become a ghost."

The image of Ruhuo, the image of the ancestor of the Rengoku family, and his own image emerged in his mind.

His wife was a serious, gentle person who cared about the world. If she were a man, she would be an excellent swordsman. She would be disappointed that she had such an idea.

The ancestors of the Purgatory family have fought against demons for generations. Is it possible to go against the expectations of their ancestors for the sake of the supreme realm?

Finally, it’s yourself.

Rengoku Shinjuro: "I'm beginning to hate you, Akaza. What do you think a swordsman is?"

"I abandoned life and death and went to the battlefield, not for the so-called supreme realm. Instead, I wanted to kill you."

Akaza fell silent, his pupils slightly contracted, and then he said, "Really?"

"Then, rather than seeing your strength decline due to your age, it is better to let you die at your strongest."

boom--

Akaza stepped on the ground, and with its feet as the center, the ground broke into spider-web-like veins.

It struck a pose.

"Expand the technique!"

"Destruction Kill, Luo Needle!"

A snowflake-like formation appeared under its feet, and the blue light was reflected on its pale face. A smile appeared on the corner of its mouth, as if it was happy about the upcoming battle.

boom--

The air made a wailing sound, and Akaza left a trail of afterimage on the spot, and the whole person rushed away like a cannonball.

"Breath of Fire!"

Open your mouth and take a breath.

Oxygen gathers in the lungs and is converted into energy.

Swing the sword! A blazing flame appears on the Sun Blade.

Akaza dodged the knife with an unimaginable reaction, and swung his fist straight out, with the sharp wind flashing past his ears.

Under the night sky, under the moonlight, in the wilderness outside Tokyo, this is a deserted place. Even if someone saw what was happening here, they would choose to flee.

The two of them fought at a speed that ordinary eyes could not catch. Smoke, knife flashes, the sound of flesh being cut open... Only these products could reflect the intensity of the battle.

The "pillars" and the "strings", the powerful ghost hunters and evil spirits are fighting here.

Chapter 61: "Pillars" and "Strings" Part 2

Running under the cover of night was not the first time for Li Mo to do so. As a "pillar", roaming to provide support was a common thing, and for this he needed to be faster.

——My speed can actually be so fast.

The scenery around him was rapidly receding, and he felt that his speed could even be faster than your car. The physical advantage brought by normalized full-concentration breathing made him out of the physical level of normal people.

What's more... he can add some more.

The system screen was reflected in his eyes. The life level experience bar was only filled up a small part. It was still a long way from level 18. Of course, this was not the point. The remaining attribute points were the key. Like strength, the constitution and agility were all raised to , and the plus sign turned gray. The remaining attributes were given to perception.

The role of spirit and intelligence is probably related to spells and magic? That is not what Li Mo cares about. He will think about these two items when he can learn spells or magic in the future.

His body became extremely full, and Li Mo could feel that he was moving faster.

Faster, faster.

The information brought by the crow is that the Flame Pillar needs support. There is only one kind of ghost that can ask the "Pillar" for support.

"Waist."

Which "Upper Rank" will it be? Upper Rank 6 Dakimaki should be in the Flower Street. Then will it be Upper Rank 4 or Upper Rank 5? One is a monster who likes to make people into so-called works of art, and the other is a demon with multiple bodies.

Or maybe it was Upper Rank Three, Akaza the martial arts fanatic? Upper Rank Two’s Douma? Or even Upper Rank One’s Kokushibo?

Is this all I know about the Upper Moon Demons?

On the way forward, Li Mo moistened his dry lips. He could no longer describe his feelings.

This is a change, a change that can allow me to change my current life!

……

……

Rengoku Shinjuro had never seen such a ghost.

He used the Breath of Fire moves one by one, but they were all countered by the opponent. The terrifying thing was the way the opponent countered it. The demon named Akaza used his fist as his weapon to block the sharp blade head-on.

This was the first time he encountered a ghost using this method!

In the past, ghosts would avoid the sharp Sun Blade. Even if they couldn't dodge, they would use their insignificant bodies to block the sword. Most of the time, they would just drive it away.

But, Akaza used his fists.

At the same time, Rengoku Shinjuro didn't dare to increase his distance, because after increasing his distance, the opponent's fist hitting the air would cause a long-range attack like an air bomb.

Shinjuro, you have to find a way!

In the blink of an eye, the Sun Blade and fist collided dozens of times, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.

There was already sweat on Rengoku Shinjuro's forehead. The high-intensity battle was a great test of his physical fitness!

"You are getting tired! Become a ghost, Shinjuro. The human body is so weak. It will age, get hurt, feel pain, and get tired! How can such a body be used to pursue the highest realm?"
