The Warrior of Love

It is said that a swordsman who has mastered this power can kill evil spirits even with ordinary iron, and has the terrifying strength to defeat an entire country alone.

Although Feng's family is small in number, it can be considered as a family that has been passed down since the shogunate era and has a history of two hundred years. During this period, some people with extremely great talents have appeared, but without exception, they are all confined to the mundane level, and no one has achieved the status of a "god or ghost."

Therefore, they only regard "gods and ghosts" as legends in the scrolls of mystery, which are just braggings of their ancestors.

But Jiang Liu felt that this was probably true.

Isshin, the swordsman who fought in the war to steal the country in his prime, the Buddhist sculptor in the Shura period, Sekiro who was as strong as a ghost to save his wife (Kiri)... they should all belong to this realm.

If this happened in the Japanese Warring States Period when various forces were divided into different areas, this strong man could indeed be said to be able to defeat an entire country alone.

As for the last "Realm of Nothingness", it was only mentioned in one sentence on the mystery scroll without any detailed description in words. Even Feng's ancestors did not know its meaning.

Jiang Liu thought that even if the "Realm of Nothingness" really existed, probably only the elderly Isshin, the reclusive Sekiro, or the elderly Yoriichi Tsugikoku knew what it was.

These people are monsters that cannot be judged by common sense, and no one knows where they arrived before they died.

It is hard to say what Sekiro experienced after he went into seclusion, but it is true that the swordsman Isshin was able to intimidate the shogunate army at its peak even when he was almost dying of old age, and Tsugikuni Yoriichi was able to kill Muzan, the demon king, in seconds.

If Jiang Liu had not had any experience before, after seeing Muzan with his own eyes and sensing his strength, Jiang Liu only felt that Jigoku Yoshiichi was cheating...

You have to know that Yunyi is really just a "person"!

He can't use magic, fighting spirit, or stand attacks. He will grow old and even die of weakness like an ordinary person. The only things he can rely on are human limbs and a sword. Jiang Liu simply cannot imagine how he did it... He is definitely a kind of existence that all swordsmen admire.

As for Jiang Liu himself... he is currently still at the level of "movement and stillness", and has not even crossed over to "lightness and heaviness", let alone "gods and ghosts" and "nothingness".

But this is definitely not because he has poor talent. In fact, he mastered the absolutely monstrous talent of "movement and stillness" in just one year. The jealousy that Feng vaguely revealed when he turned evil was not fake - because at her peak, she was only at "light and heavy", and it was the result of more than ten years of practice.

But even if it is just the "movement and stillness" realm, combined with physical fitness and breathing methods that surpass ordinary people, dealing with ordinary ghosts can be said to be a piece of cake, and even the Twelve Ghost Months can be put into a fight.

Not to mention--

"Are you really the Twelve Demon Moons?"

After neutralizing the handball ghost's attack, Jiang Liu did not pursue him, but asked this instead.

"It's much weaker than I thought."

"Weak? You said I'm weak?"

The handball ghost's face turned ferocious: "Asshole, I will definitely kill you!"

"I really don't know where your confidence comes from."

Jiang Liu sneered and said seriously: "Hey, ghost, I have something to ask you: How did you find this place?"

"Huh?" Veins popped out on the handball ghost's face, and he seemed totally unwilling to answer.

"Yushiro's barrier is also an excellent spell in my opinion. Not to mention vision, even Tanjiro's nose and my spiritual perception can't penetrate it. It's not just an ordinary trick, otherwise it wouldn't be able to hide in such a big city for so long."

Jiang Liu stroked the hilt with his fingers and said intriguingly: "Even if he was discovered, he should be a guy with very strong tracking ability."

But the handball ghost...blood ghost magic seems to be from the physical department, and his brain doesn’t seem to be very smart.

"Also, I discovered during the battle just now that your attack has a "false" part."

"False? Are you crazy?"

"Indeed, the ball is very fast. An average person may not even be able to dodge the first attack, not to mention that the ball itself can change its trajectory. That's the problem: you can't actually control the direction of the ball, right?"

"Tsk!" The handball ghost was unexpectedly frank, "How did you know?"

“It’s not difficult. During the previous battle, you only focused on my movements, but you still attacked the two people over there (Yushiro and Tamayo) accurately.

If this can be explained by multitasking, then when you played "football" with Nezuko later, you had so much fun that the trajectory of the other balls didn't get messy...

No matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be you who controls the trajectory of the handball. Your blood ghost art should only create the handball and physically destroy the attack, and the direction is controlled by someone else. This is an attack completed by the two of you, but only you showed up.

—It is easy to infer once you know you have a companion.”

The handball ghost grinned: "You are quite smart, but even if you know, what can you do? I received the gift of blood from that adult, how can a mere human resist me!"

Jiang Liu suddenly laughed: "Then Miss Ghost, why do you think I should bother telling you all this?"

"Ugh?"

The handball ghost was startled and suddenly thought of something.

"Why should I stop and listen to you?"

Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes and glanced quietly at Tamayo and Yushiro who were hiding nearby, especially the wounds on Tamayo's body.

His mental induction plus Tamayo's blood fragrance - the answer is that simple.

"wrong!"

The handball ghost finally reacted: "Where's the other human?"

At this moment, an angry shout suddenly came from a big tree in the courtyard far away from the battlefield.

"How dare you, you little devil!"

"Don't even think about running away!"

Two figures fell from the tree, one in front and one behind. They were a suspicious man and Tanjiro who had quietly left the battlefield before!

The red-haired boy stared seriously at his enemy: an evil demon who looked blind but had a strange eye on each palm. He raised the Nichirin sword in his hand and stabbed forward without hesitation.

"Shushawan! Stop playing around, finish the mission quickly and kill these people!"

The evil ghost with his eyes closed said fiercely, and at the same time raised his palms to open the two strange eyes with directional arrows printed in the pupils, and aimed at Tanjiro who was rushing towards him.

“Ding, ding!”

The strange eye suddenly closed, and the agile Tanjiro was suddenly affected by an invisible force. In his horror, he was forcibly changed in direction, and his body was thrown towards the tree and hit the trunk heavily.

There is no doubt that this is his blood magic, and it is also the reason why those handballs can change direction freely!

Although he hid well, he still couldn't escape Tanjiro's nose and was successfully forced out by the young swordsman who got the hint from Jiang Liu.

Even from his fighting style and blood demon arts, it can be seen that this is a demon whose own hard power is not very strong. Similar to the swamp demon, he relies on strange abilities to win. It is actually quite dangerous when Tanjiro gets close to him.

"Damn it, you bastard plotted against me!"

After cursing Jiang Liu, the handball ghost called Zhushawan raised his six arms and once again transformed into many handballs, attacking Jiang Liu together.

However, although the power was more fierce this time, it no longer had the flexibility to change direction at will. The straight attack could not hurt Jiang Liu who had full perception. He just slightly changed his direction and posture, then escaped from the gap and charged towards the handball ghost with his feet.

"Don't underestimate me, human!"

Zhushawan was not afraid. Unlike her companions whose real bodies were fragile, her greatest strength lay in this body.

The reason why her blood demon magic can destroy a building is based on her strong enough wrist strength, otherwise it would not be possible to do so with this blood demon magic alone.

A cannon combined with cannonballs is a real weapon. If handball is a cannonball, then she herself is undoubtedly the heavy artillery that launches the cannonballs!

In terms of physical ability, she is far stronger than the average ghost, and her neck is not something that a normal person can cut off.

No matter how strong the enemy is, it is impossible to defeat him with the first blow.

Clang, clang, clang!

After the cold light flashed in his field of vision, the handball genius belatedly looked at his own body.

"Ah...Ahhh! My hand!"

bang——

Six arms fell at the same time!

"Your little secrets won't be surprising once they are exposed. I am still very confident in my swordsmanship."

"You bastard - ah?" Zhu Shawan suddenly discovered that Jiang Liu, who was originally standing in front of her, had disappeared without her knowing when.

At this moment, a dazzling light like thunder and fire flashed from the corner of her eyes!

Wuxinliu Five Form o Lightning Return o Modified - Sparks!

呲......

The sound of the blade rubbing against the scabbard reached his ears, and Zhu Shawan felt that all the hairs on his body stood up. An emotion that he had never felt since he became an angel rolled out from the mud in his heart.

That is the horror of death!

"Human, you..."

Zhushamaru turned her head to look for Jiang Liu, but found that he was looking at another battlefield with his back to her. It seemed that he was only paying attention to Tanjiro's battle situation and had given up fighting with himself.

The man leisurely put the sword back into the sheath. The sound of metal grinding stimulated Zhushamaru's eardrums, causing her body to tremble for some reason.

"Kick-"

The long sword was returned, and the final collision sound seemed to have touched a switch, and Zhushamaru's vision suddenly reversed.

"That's... my body?"

The evil ghost's head rolled to the ground like a handball and turned into ashes in the night wind...

"Oh, right..." Jiang Liu turned around and glanced at Zhu Shawan who was about to disappear, "Ms. Tamayo? Do we need to preserve this guy's blood?"

Chapter 44: Kirara Zenitsu

Neither Susamaru nor her partner who can control the movement of objects are the Twelve Demon Moons, but just ordinary demons with stronger powers. Susamaru calls herself "the most trusted subordinate of that master", but she may have misunderstood...

After Jiang Liu dealt with Suzamaru, Nezuko and Tanjiro quickly defeated another demon together, and this sudden battle came to an end.

However, even if the enemy was defeated, it did not mean that they could rest easy. Thinking that their hiding place had been exposed, Tamayo and Yushiro, with the help of Jiang Liu and the other two, took all kinds of information and the couple and moved to another stronghold overnight.

After that, the two sides agreed on a way to contact each other and secret codes, and Tamayo also gave special props that could preserve demon blood to Eru and Tanjiro, and then everyone said goodbye.

However, the medicine for treating Feng will take some time to prepare, and Tamayo will need to cooperate with the treatment by performing blood demon arts, so Jiang Liu will have to come to Tokyo Prefecture again in a month, and bring Feng with him... I just hope that woman won't be too excited when she sees Tamayo then.

The curse planted by the ghost had to be removed by the ghost in the end. Feng's self-loathing would probably deepen.

However, Jiang Liu felt that a strong beauty like Feng had a different kind of beauty in her decadent look, so he was even a little looking forward to it.

The mission that Jiang Liu and Tanjiro had previously received was to "investigate the traces of evil spirits in Asakusa, Tokyo." Now it seems that there are not only evil spirits haunting this place, but this is also the place where Muzan Kibutsu is hiding. I just don't know if he will change his location.

After tying a note informing about the Demon King's appearance in Tokyo to their crow's feet and sending it back to the Demon Slayer Corps, the two men, who had not yet received their next mission, naturally set out on their journey home.

Fortunately, although their "homes" are not in the same place, they are heading in the same direction and can still travel together for a while.

Apart from the necessary time for eating and sleeping, the two of them were always traveling or exercising and did not slack off.

The human body is both very slow and very sensitive. It is slow in that when you spend a lot of time exercising, it responds to you very slowly. It is sensitive in that once you slack off, it declines faster than anything else!

For a swordsman, only proper exercise every day can keep the body in peak condition.

Because of his physique, Jiang Liu doesn't actually need to follow this rule, but after practicing with Feng for so long, he has already formed a habit.

Tanjiro and Jiang Liu have naturally sparred with each other. In terms of training time, Tanjiro has been practicing longer than Jiang Liu, but in terms of strength and various fighting skills, Jiang Liu is far ahead of him.

As for Nezuko... although she has good physical strength, she has no knowledge of combat skills. She will only suffer a loss when she encounters a truly strong person. Before she develops her own blood demon art, it will be difficult for her to intervene in the battle between the Twelve Demon Moons and the Pillars.

Of course, there is no need for her to fight the Twelve Demon Moons now.

Jiang Liu also tried to teach her some physical skills. Nezuko was a quick learner. From only being able to use brute force at the beginning to gradually learning to control her own strength, her progress was almost visible to the naked eye.

During the teaching process, Jiang Liu would inevitably have physical contact with Nezuko... Well, that's why he never tires of teaching her throwing techniques.

Although I am very happy, Tanjiro's eyes are sometimes very piercing. I don't know if it is an illusion.

Of course, Jiang Liu has a clear conscience!

Then, during the journey, the Crow came again, and instead of responding to Muzan's message, it brought them an instruction.

[Nannandong! Nannandong! The next place is Nannandong! Gah——]

-

"My name is Zenitsu, I'm sixteen years old, unmarried, and have no fixed property. I live with an old man called Master. Although I got a job not long ago, I don't think I can work for long.

My dream is to live a peaceful and happy life, find a job that is neither dangerous nor hard, with a salary that is neither too much nor too little, marry a wife who is neither beautiful nor ugly, and have two children that are just right... But I may die soon."

The yellow-haired boy suddenly knelt down, held the girl's hand tightly, and said while crying bitterly.

"So, please marry me, otherwise I will be lonely all my life until I die, which is too sad!"

"But I refuse!"

The girl caught by the boy was beautiful but terrified. She was shaking her hands frantically trying to get rid of the stranger in front of her.

"You're proposing right away? I don't even know you!"

"So didn't I introduce myself? As long as you tell me your name, then we will know each other, right?"
