Monster Hunter Gathering

"Don't say such discouraging words!" Feng Zhu forced himself to the front: "For a monster like this, besides killing it with all our might, is there any other way?!"

"That's right! We must fight to the death!" Nie Chiwu said in a trembling voice, "We must maintain this mentality! We hunters will do our best to minimize your danger! Let nature take its course!!!"

"!"

Beimingyu originally wanted to say something to Nie Chiwu, but he saw from the transparent world how Nie Chiwu...

Much shorter?

Chapter 36: Deceiving People and Confounding the Cause

No! Beimingyu quickly corrected his thoughts.

To be precise, why Nie Chiwu only has his upper body left.

Nie Chiwu now looked like he had been cut in half, with his lower body flying away to who knows where, leaving only his upper body beside them.

"Captain, you..." Yu Sui Tianyuan instinctively wanted to help Nie Chiwu find his lower body, but... Nie Chiwu stopped Yu Sui Tianyuan.

"No need to look for it. My butt's already gone. It doesn't hurt." Nie Chiwu's face was a little pale at the moment, which was a physiological symptom of excessive blood loss. "I found that being cut in half didn't hurt that much. The whole wound is numb... I can't feel any pain at all..."

While Nie Chiwu was saying this, Iwaya Naofumi had already drunk the recovery potion in the distance, and the effect of the medicine once again took effect on the humans in the Infinite City.

Feng Zhu's broken fingers and Wu Yilang's broken wrist were all regenerated, and Nie Chiwu, who only had his upper body left at the moment, also regenerated from the broken waist downwards... Not only the broken lower body, but even the strange equipment was completely restored.

"Terrifying recovery ability." Kokushibo looked at the fully resurrected Nie Chiwu, but Kokushibo realized...

"You... lied to me?"

Kokushibo realized that Nie Chiwu did not seem to have the terrifying fighting ability as he had imagined.

Even just now, the attack that cut Nie Chiwu in half slipped through Beiming Island's defense... He was cut in half before he could even react.

"When did I lie to you?"

Nie Chiwu looked at Kokushibo with a puzzled expression: "Where did this deception come from?"

"You can't fight at all!!"

At this moment, Kokushibo felt as if the blood was rushing to his brain, making his anger burst through his head and reach the sky: "You don't have the strength of Yunyi at all! You are just a guy with a knife and no martial arts skills... like a commoner!!!"

"Yes."

Nie Chiwu scratched his butt: "What else? Didn't I fall down as soon as I came out? You..."

Nie Chiwu suddenly realized something when he heard this: "I don't have the strength of Yuanyi? You don't really think I'm that powerful, do you?"

Nie Chiwu's expression suddenly became interesting: "Me and Yuanyi? Is this true?"

"You mean the one with natural intelligence, who defeated his swordsmanship teacher at a young age, created his own breathing technique, swung his sword 1,300 times in a split second, chopped Muzan into pieces while only a few pieces escaped, and whose sun earrings left a psychological scar on Muzan, preventing him from causing trouble for hundreds of years... Tsugikoku Yoriichi?"

Nie Chiwu pointed at himself and said, "Me and Yuan Yi are competing? Are you serious?"

"Shut up!" Kokushibo was furious, his hair standing on end. "You're not worthy enough to compete with Yunyi!"

"He is the chosen one, as dazzling as the sun! A human being with impeccable character and strength, a perfect and flawless person." Kokushibo roared angrily: "A guy like you... is not worthy of being compared with Yoshiichi!"

"?"

Nie Chiwu slowly typed a question mark: "You can blow Yuanyi better than me."

"But... do I look like a fighter?" Nie Chiwu pointed at himself and turned to ask the others, "My face is filled with the innocence of peacetime. I don't look like someone who can fight! Look at my clear stupidity!"

"..."

Uzui Tengen and Wind Pillar were both silent.

To be honest, Nie Chiwu looked a few years older than them. They really didn't want to make any comments about Nie Chiwu, and they didn't know why Nie Chiwu would say that he was pure and kind.

Wuyilang said: "Were the words you said before also said out of pure goodness?"

"The laning issue can't be called a problem..." Nie Chiwu tried to hide his embarrassment a little.

But Beimingyu said: "Mr. Grand Commander, I know why."

At this moment, Beimingyu stood behind Nie Chiwu with his body more than two meters tall, confronting Ji Guoyuan.

From the perspectives of Beimeiyu and Kokushibo, everyone present... their bodies, muscles, bones, and even the flow of blood were all clearly visible.

And in this area, even now, the one with the most powerful presence is still Nie Chiwu himself.

"Perhaps you haven't realized it yourself, but... you are probably the one among us who poses the greatest threat to Kokushibo."

Beimeiyu couldn't see, but his attention was always on Kokushibo. Once Kokushibo made any move, he would immediately take corresponding action.

"Even now," Beimingyu said, "he's still on guard against you. This is a living creature's instinctive reaction."

"...?"

Nie Chiwu was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "You mean the transparent world? You can see it?"

"You knew?" Beimingyu was slightly surprised. "It seems this is not a secret to you."

"No, this is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing... So that's how it is."

The smile on Nie Chiwu's face gradually became perverted. "So, Kokushibo, you sensed danger in the transparent world, so you think I'm similar to Tsugikoku Yoriichi, right?"

"..." Kokushibo did not answer Nie Chiwu, but his reaction had already confirmed this to Nie Chiwu.

Although even Nie Chiwu didn't know what the threat in the transparent world was, after figuring it out, Nie Chiwu became more aware of the current situation of the war.

Moreover, if you really want to make Kokushibo's heart restless, you still have to continue to stimulate him!

"I believe you, Kokushibo." A smile appeared on Nie Chiwu's face. "Anyway, I am indeed a weakling. It's a good thing that the misunderstanding has been resolved now. It will make you feel more comfortable fighting with us, right?"

Nie Chiwu wore a smile on his face as he walked towards Kokushibo with his katana in hand. "I actually admire Tsugikoku Yoriichi quite a bit, but it's a pity that he doesn't think highly of himself..."

Nie Chiwu walked towards Kokushibo while saying, "When I was little, I thought I was an unlucky child. Initially, I just wanted to live a peaceful life with a wife and children, but in the end, I couldn't protect anyone important. I was a useless guy..."

"shut up!!!"

Hearing what Nie Chiwu said, Kokushibo said angrily, "What do you know about Yunyi?"

"Of course I know! Just like... I know everything about you."

Nie Chiwu smiled widely, and at this moment, like a bewitching demon, he walked towards Kokushibo step by step: "What I said are all true things that happened in the past. After all..."

"You should be very clear whether what I said before is true or false, right?"

Chapter 37: Mikiri-derived Great Spin!!!!!!

Kokushibo really wanted to scold Nie Chiwu directly and deny that everything he said was false, but the things that Nie Chiwu had told him about Yunyi's death... those things that should only be known to him were spoken out so easily from Nie Chiwu's mouth.

At this moment, facing the smiling Nie Chiwu, Kokushibo was actually a little more frightened.

Even if Nie Chiwu really can't fight, there are still countless abnormalities in him.

"So... Kokushibo, you have to think! You have to think! You have to think a lot!"

Nie Chiwu dragged the flying dragon sword towards Kokushibo while saying with a bright smile: "Think about whether what I said is true or false! Think about where I came from..."

At this moment, Nie Chiwu had already walked to a distance not too far from Kokushibo.

Kokushibo himself could judge that at this distance, he could easily swing his sword to chop Nie Chiwu's body into pieces and destroy his brain as well.

If the brain is destroyed in an instant, the opponent will die immediately and completely, and that abnormal recovery ability will not allow him to recover again...

But Kokushibo could not see the fear in Nie Chiwu's eyes as he stood in front of him.

In order to pursue that transparent world, he grew six eyes, wanting to see the world that Yunyi could see in the past, but now...

Even though Kokushibo could clearly see the movements of Nie Chiwu's muscles, the beating of his heart in his chest, and every rhythm of his blood, Kokushibo did not see Nie Chiwu's fear of him or of death.

Even from the time he appeared until now, he had never told a single lie...

Kokushibo, who originally thought that he could kill Nie Chiwu with one blow at this distance, suddenly felt a little hesitant.

But the next moment he saw Nie Chiwu making a blocking gesture behind him.

He stopped the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps who wanted to take action.

"Have you thought it through? Kokushibo... No, Tsugakuin Iwakatsu."

Nie Chiwu said to Kokushibo with a refreshing smile: "Now have you judged whether the things I said are true or false?"

"I can give you more time."

Nie Chiwu flipped his hand and picked up the Flying Dragon Sword. He gently patted the blade and checked the Qi Blade Gauge he had just accumulated from stealing the chicken. "After all, for hunters like us, hunting down Muzan is our fundamental goal. Your business is just a side job."

"and."

Nie Chiwu said, "Even if I didn't come, these people here would still be able to kill you. It's just that someone would have to pay with their life."

"Besides, it's a transparent world. Even if I can't see it, there are always people who can see it."

Without even turning his head, Nie Chiwu pointed his thumb in the direction of Beiming Island: "He can now see that transparent world, and..."

Nie Chiwu pointed at Wuyilang and said, "Wuyilang also has that talent."

"Oh, and Tanjiro."

Nie Chiwu grinned and said, "He also has this talent."

"You can see it, here."

Nie Chiwu pointed at his heart and smiled at Kokushibo: "You can see my heartbeat, so you should be able to tell whether what I said was a lie or not..."

Kokushibo was silent, his six eyes fixed on Nie Chiwu's face, heart and brain, as if he wanted to see through all of Nie Chiwu's thoughts at the moment, but unfortunately... he had no way of knowing what Nie Chiwu was really thinking.

But... the next moment, a sword tip emerged from Kokushibo's palm, and then Kokushibo slapped it into his chest, stimulating Kokushibo's body.

"That's enough. I shouldn't have talked to you so much." Under the stimulation of the pain he had long been accustomed to, Kokushibo said: "I won't listen to your words anymore, you monster."

"Bullshit, I'm a real human, pureblooded!" Nie Chiwu said with his eyes wide open, "And you, an evil ghost, calling me a monster... is really against Tian Gang!"

"I will never lose to a guy like you."

As Kokushibo spoke, the forked sword in his hand slowly rose and began to gather power: "Even if you have been disturbing my heart since you came here... no matter if it is calculation or something else, as long as I see through your original purpose, your actions will be meaningless!"

"Even if we can see the same world, what does it matter... Just the thought of losing makes my insides churn..."

"Stop laughing, you monster who is even more different from a human than a ghost." Kokushibo stared at Nie Chiwu: "I will not lose to monsters like you again!"

The next moment, Kokushibo rushed towards Nie Chiwu, and the four pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps also moved at the same time.

but……

What Nie Chiwu wanted was for Kokushibo to attack him in this hesitant state.

Only in this way could Nie Chiwu clearly see Kokushibo's movements.

Only in this way can Nie Chiwu react, make corresponding countermeasures, and complete his response to Kokushibo.

At the moment before Kokushibo made his move, Nie Chiwu gently swung his katana, and then... Nie Chiwu saw Kokushibo approaching and wanting to use his long-accumulated sword skills to chop him straight down.

As if he wanted to destroy all the fear in his heart, Kokushibo did not hold back in his attack this time. Although his movements were slow enough that Nie Chiwu could see them clearly, their power was stronger than all the sword skills Kokushibo had used before.

Holding the Feilong Sword in both hands, Nie Chiwu watched Kokushibo's movements intently, and took a step back gently. All the air blade grooves accumulated in the sword disappeared, and the powerful Moon Breathing sword technique also fell on Nie Chiwu.

Ding.

A crisp sound was heard from Kokushibo's slash and Nie Chiwu's body.

Kokushibo looked at his most powerful slash in astonishment, which did not cause any damage to Nie Chiwu.

In fact, before he could react from that momentary stiffness, Nie Chiwu's movements were faster than his and the other pillars.

The strange two-meter-long sword counterattacked the moment Nie Chiwu was attacked. His movements were so sharp... He didn't look like a civilian who didn't know martial arts at all.

Kokushibo widened his eyes and looked at Nie Chiwu, but found that the other's face was even more joyful than before, as if... a hunter saw the prey naturally jump into his trap.

"The air blade swirl derived from Gogamikiri is here!!!!!!!"

Chapter 38: Hunting is unpredictable

"!"

Facing the huge spinning attack that was coming to cut him in half, Kokushibo instinctively turned his sword sideways to block it.

But his flesh-and-blood knife was directly cut off by Nie Chiwu's Flying Dragon Knife, only slowing down the force of the huge rotation.

It was a rather brutal and violent attack... After Kokushibo decided that he could not continue to regenerate his blade to receive the attack, he instinctively flew backwards. While avoiding the fate of being cut in half by the large spin, Kokushibo also barely avoided the joint attack from the four pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.
