The Warrior of Love

Is this what they call "a family should be together"?

Chapter 58: Nezuko is captured

"Jiang Liu, be careful, this guy is very tough!"

"I know……"

He protected the seriously injured Inosuke behind him, drew out the Sun Blade and rushed towards the evil spirit.

His steps were vigorous, his direction was straight, and there was no hesitation at all. It seemed that he did not intend to win by flexibility, but to confront the opponent head-on!

"call--"

Jiang Liu's figure turned into fragments and disappeared into the darkness.

Only the flash of the Sun Blade cut through the moonlight, and the giant evil spirit had no time to dodge before the blade had already passed over his wrists.

"Pfft!"

His wrist was hit hard and almost cut off completely, leaving only a little flesh and skin. A large amount of blood spurted out, and immediately a bloody smell filled the mountains and forests.

Jiang Liu should have been happy because he suppressed the enemy with the first strike, but he frowned instead.

"It's really hard..."

Although he didn't try his best, he didn't hold back either. The sword he just struck was enough to cut through gold, iron and rock, but he couldn't even cut off the opponent's wrist, which naturally surprised Jiang Liu.

"Although this ghost has little intelligence, if we only look at the physical level, I guess even some of the Twelve Ghost Moons can't compare to him."

Of course, even so, Jiang Liu didn't need to be afraid. After all, the opponent had nothing but great strength and toughness, and might not even have a blood demon technique. When it met someone like Inosuke who liked to fight hard, it would naturally take advantage, but when it met Jiang Liu...

"Hoohoho!"

With his wrist severely injured, the evil ghost seemed even more violent. Even though Jiang Liu was obviously stronger than Inosuke, he did not know what fear was. He raised his big feet and stomped on him with great force.

However, with a flash of his figure, Jiang Liu had already flashed out from the side, and the Sun Wheel Sword slashed across the evil ghost's ankle, which was equivalent to the evil ghost crashing into him and cutting his tendon.

"Roar!"

The evil ghost lost his balance and half-knelt on the ground. Jiang Liu's figure passed around him like a flying swallow. Several flashes of light appeared coldly, and wounds appeared on the important joints of the evil ghost's limbs, splashing hot blood.

The wound was very deep, and even with the evil ghost's recovery ability, it could not be repaired instantly, but two or three seconds was enough for Jiang Liu to chop off his head.

From the beginning of the battle to the time Jiang Liu gained complete advantage, it was only ten seconds in total, but life and death were already decided.

"Ho ho ho!!"

Perhaps it truly felt the threat of death, the giant ghost suddenly raised its head and let out an earth-shaking roar, and its skin cracked like an insect shedding its shell, revealing skin that was darker in color and as tough as rock.

"Is this its blood vampire magic?"

A thought flashed through his mind quickly, and Jiang Liu's perception field captured the evil ghost's subtle movements. He leaned back without hesitation and exerted force on his waist to make an extremely difficult posture.

The evil ghost's heavy punch rushed past his face with a strong wind, but Jiang Liu barely dodged it.

Jiang Liu felt pain on his face from the wind pressure and was secretly shocked: the strength has increased again. If he is hit hard by this punch, even I won't be able to bear it.

It seems that this ghost's special ability is quite simple: physical enhancement.

It's not some weird or rare blood vampire magic, but it is undoubtedly the most suitable for him.

Powerful force combined with solid defense and huge size makes it an iron chariot that can rampage on the battlefield!

But it's a pity...

Jiang Liu is not afraid of this bulky guy!

"Mushin-ryu 2nd Style!"

He leaned back to avoid the giant ghost's iron fist, and when he stood up again, he naturally entered the giant ghost's attack range, but at this moment its fist had not been retracted.

He took a half step forward, his feet firmly planted, as solid and reliable as if his roots were buried in the earth, and Jiang Liu swung out the cold and sharp Sun Blade.

"Dengli o duet!"

A diagonal slash from the shoulder to the ribs, a line of blood appeared on each side at the same time, it was clearly two swords but it seemed as if they were sent out at the same time -

This was an illusion caused by the sword being drawn too quickly. The extremely swift strike cut off the evil ghost's body without any surprise.

"Hooho..."

Jiang Liu's two slashes broke the evil ghost's momentum, causing him to pause instantly, and he didn't have time to clasp his hands together and hug Jiang Liu.

As a natural result, Jiang Liu jumped lightly and escaped from the capture circle of the evil ghost's arms.

It's time to end the battle!

As soon as he gained his footing on the ground, Jiang Liu had already assumed a starting stance, as if he needed no time to prepare.

In fact, it is almost the same. He has reached the state of "being able to handle things with ease and making light of heavy tasks". After leaving the battle, he can regroup at any time and start the next round of battle at any time.

The form of swordsmanship changed again, making a posture like drawing a sword and slashing. Jiang Liu suddenly exerted force with his feet, and transparent ripples seemed to appear in the air. The figure of the young man and the sharp and cold blade broke through everything.

Whether it is the air or the body of the evil spirit!

——Six styles o dragon slaying!

The demon's body, which was stronger than gold, iron and rock, was cut off by the Sun Blade. The giant demon's head was thrown high into the sky with a flash of cold light...

"Okay, so awesome!"

Inosuke watched this scene with bated breath, and was shocked both physically and mentally.

The powerful enemy that seemed almost invincible to him was like a lamb to be slaughtered in front of Jiang Liu, with no power to fight back at all. This battle was clearly a one-sided crushing!

The strength, skills, and combat instincts displayed by Jiang Liu were beyond the reach of Inosuke. The pure aesthetics of cold weapon violence deeply attracted Inosuke's eyes and soul.

"I...want to become stronger!"

He repeated his goal once again, but this time it was not a death wail, but words to motivate himself.

"Hey, Jiang Liu!"

Jiang Liu was startled when his name was suddenly called loudly right after he defeated his opponent. He looked at Inosuke in confusion.

"what?"

"I won't admit defeat!"

Inosuke pointed at Jiang Liu with inexplicable passion and declared: "One day I will surpass you, Jiang Liu!"

"Um...then come on."

Jiang Liu didn't know how to answer, so he could only cheer him on.

But to be honest, he felt that the probability of Inosuke's wish coming true... was really not very high.

"By the way, now that you have found it, you can come back with me—"

Just as he was about to take Inosuke back to meet up with Tanjiro and the others, Jiang Liu suddenly stopped talking and his expression became serious.

call……

The night wind blew through the mountains and forests, bringing with it a hint of ominous smell.

Unlike a certain red-haired boy, Jiang Liu's sense of smell was not as sensitive as that of a hound, but even so he clearly felt that something was wrong.

As if sensing something in his heart, Jiang Liu suddenly raised his head and looked between the towering trees.

"Hmm? You can actually find me? You are definitely not an ordinary human."

On the treetops with the moon reflected in the background, a strange young man in white clothes appeared.

White hair, white kimono, pale skin, and hair that looks like the claws of an arthropod... It has the same characteristics as the ghost I encountered before, that is, the appearance of a "spider".

However, the young man at this moment was quite strange, because he had no head on his neck. Strictly speaking, he was holding his head with one hand and looking at Jiang Liu.

His other hand was pulling at the spider's web-like silk, and at the end of the silk was bound——

"Nezuko?"

Jiang Liu's face changed drastically when he saw the girl whose entire body was covered with wounds from the spider silk and whose clothes and body were in tatters.

Chapter 59: You Don’t Know What “Love” Is

"Damn it...Nezuko...don't...Nezuko!"

The wounded boy fell powerlessly to the ground. Even though his limbs could hardly move, he still tried desperately to move his body. His clumsy look was funny, but his current appearance made it impossible to laugh.

As if he had rolled through a mountain of swords and a pool of knives, the young man's body was covered with open wounds of varying sizes. His blood soaked the ground beneath him, leaving a bloody path.

Especially the thin wound from his forehead to his jaw, which looked like it was going to split his head open, but it seemed that it was avoided in time and was not fatal.

"To think that such a thing would happen... Nezuko... It's okay, brother will definitely save you!"

The demon girl, who was originally inseparable from Tanjiro, is no longer with Tanjiro. There is only an empty wooden box lying beside her.

"You are my sister... I won't let anyone take you away. You must wait for me, Nezuko!"

-

The long-haired girl wearing a gag was hanging upside down between the branches like a puppet with its strings cut off. Her thick clothes were cut by the sharp spider silk, revealing her snow-white thighs and the glaring cuts. Drops of blood dripped down and flowed slowly in the air along the almost transparent silk threads...

Jiang Liu's pupils shrank slightly. He was angry for only a moment at the beginning, but soon he calmed down incredibly. His indifferent reaction even surprised Jiang Liu himself.

"This guy!"

Inosuke took a deep breath, his feral instinct telling him that the new enemy was very dangerous.

Even though Nezuko was right in front of him, Inosuke didn't dare to look away and stared at the boy in the tree with all his attention.

"Jiang Liu, be careful. This guy... is not easy to deal with."

"Yes, I know. Are you the owner of this mountain?" Jiang Liu asked indifferently to the young man who was dressed in white, thin and seemed to be sick.

"Did you create those ghosts too?"

“This is my ‘home’.”

The boy stood on the branch and looked at the river quietly, saying, "They are my family."

family?

"It doesn't look like that..." Jiang Liu turned the Sun Blade in his hand, and a cold light flashed past, "You don't seem to care about their lives at all. Even when I attacked them, you didn't come out to stop them."

"It doesn't matter. They were just a bunch of trash to begin with. Now I have a better and more suitable family. They are no longer needed."

"You just throw them away when you don't need them anymore? You can call them 'family'? What a cruel guy."

Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed: "The new family you mentioned, is it this girl?"

The white-haired boy glanced at Nezuko. The girl was seriously injured, but she was still alive thanks to the powerful vitality of a demon. However, even with her extraordinary strength, she was still unable to break free from the spider silk.

On the contrary, the more she struggled, the deeper the wound caused by the spider silk.

"Yes, although she still needs some training, she will understand."

The boy smiled happily, "She is much better than those rubbish. No matter how I teach them, they can never become a real family. This is probably because they don't have love in their hearts. But this girl is different. She is a ghost but she can understand what love is... It's wonderful!

She will definitely become my ideal sister and a real family member."

“This is also a disease…”

Jiang Liu sighed, then pointed at Nezuko: "But if I remember correctly, this girl already has a family - where is her brother?"

"elder brother?"

The white-haired boy said indifferently: "Oh, the human with dark red hair?"

"Yes, that's him." Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with him now?"

"Who knows?"

The boy said nonchalantly, "Maybe he's still alive."

hum!

Nothing happened.

Or perhaps some change has occurred but cannot be observed with the naked eye.

Inosuke had an illusion of suffocation. For a brief moment, the night seemed to become even quieter. Some invisible substance was mixed into the air, and the air felt almost "sticky" against his skin.

"Did Jiang Liu do this?"
