The Warrior of Love

Give special skills to heroes who become turning points in human history.

Turn all kinds of difficult tasks into "achievable things" in "impossible situations".

Things that are still too difficult for this era can be overcome with human power alone.

This is not a talent possessed by a few geniuses, but the pride possessed by human beings - "human beings" everywhere, and the power to burn dreams to the end.

【God Killer EX】

It has a compatible advantage over gods, mythical beasts, demigods, demons, and even all divine beings (including divinely created weapons).

If it is numericalized, it is expressed as:

To divine creatures, cause additional damage equal to more than half of the attack power.

For divine matter, there is a certain probability that it will be permanently destroyed.

In addition, when you cause damage to a divine enemy during combat, you will plunder some of its divinity, and there is a certain probability that you will gain the enemy's combat experience.

Chapter 674: Feng's Warrior Training

Zheng!

With a flash of cold light, the remaining knife marks disappeared in the air, and the strange-looking beast fell down.

"Another monster like this... Looks like we've found the right place."

"I didn't expect that even the Sun Blade wouldn't work. If we hadn't met that master, we would never have gotten here."

On the foggy mountain road, three pretty figures walked together, climbing up the rugged path step by step. Although they all looked like weak women, there was no sign of fatigue in their movements.

Left behind them was a white beast entity.

The long hair changed its original body shape, making it look larger and more ferocious, as big as a calf, but judging from its body structure and some detailed features, it should be a wild wolf.

It had lost its breath, with only one wound on its neck, and not even much blood had flowed out, which showed how skilled the criminal was.

“But we can’t be careless. Although it was tempered using a special method, the old monk said that the forging method of “karma” that can deal with these undead monsters has been lost. This layer of coating is just a temporary modification that allows us to harm the monsters.

The durability of the coating is not very high, and it cannot support us in a long-term battle. If we cannot resolve the incident this time, there will be nothing we can do."

“I don’t know what’s ahead… It feels creepy.”

The beautiful woman, dressed in a gorgeous kimono and as light and graceful as a butterfly, gazed at the thick fog in the valley, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"It's not enough for the three of us to fight."

"Times have changed. My acquaintances are scattered all over the place, and I can't gather many people in a hurry. Besides, I can handle the main force. I hope you two can help me with the raid."

"You're really trying hard... You seem to be more competitive than before, Feng."

"is it?"

The red-haired woman known as "Feng" looked toward the mountains, her hand unconsciously tightening around the scabbard.

"Maybe it's because I want to become stronger."

"Become stronger?"

Shinobu Kocho said in amazement: "I think Miss Feng is strong enough. Does Kanao think so too?"

The smiling girl, who had been silent all the way, nodded slightly to the teacher's words and uttered light notes from her throat.

"Um……"

This is what Shinobu Kocho is thinking. In her opinion, Feng is indeed very strong.

She didn't know what specific method Feng used to regenerate his severed limbs. Not only did he restore his body to its peak state, but it even surpassed it, breaking through the physical limit of ordinary people.

It has been a long time since Muzan was defeated, the Demon Slayer Corps was disbanded, and the swordsmen returned to normal life.

Although she has retreated a step back, Shinobu Kocho believes that her vision has not declined. The changes in Feng are obvious, and her swordsmanship is also constantly improving. She just mastered the "transparent realm" not long ago, reaching the highest achievement in swordsmanship that Shinobu Kocho knows.

This is related to the fact that both her body and soul have experienced "rebirth". It is normal for people who have experienced life and death to have breakthroughs in their realm.

In addition, she would occasionally spar with someone, and the skill gap was simply on another level, which allowed this red-haired heroine to benefit a lot despite her defeat.

It's not just this reason. What's more important is that even if the Demon Slayer Corps was disbanded and even if she no longer hunted evil spirits, her swordsmanship practice has never stopped!

Day after day, with perseverance, she fully tapped into her potential after her rebirth, and naturally reached her current state.

In Shinobu Kocho's eyes, Feng can now be said to be the "strongest", and people with extraordinary talents like the Rock Pillar and the Love Pillar may not be able to match her.

However, even so, Feng still couldn't say enough.

"What do you want?" asked Shinobu Kocho.

"Nothing, just killing time."

Feng smiled nonchalantly: "The Demon Slayer Corps has been disbanded, but it's hard to be idle all the time. I have to find something to do."

"Is this why you come to a place like this to hunt monsters?"

Shinobu Kocho sighed deeply: "I'm not as free as you are. After finishing things here, I have to rush back to the clinic."

"I'm sorry, Shinobu. I promise you, it will be over soon."

Feng smiled apologetically, and then as if he had thought of something, his expression gradually became serious, and his clear eyes seemed to be staring at something far away, unable to find a focus.

"Besides... even if it's just a small step, I want to climb higher mountains and see more scenery."

"It's just like what a martial artist from the old days would say."

Shinobu Kocho nodded. Although this reason was a bit childish, it was indeed easy to understand for a warrior.

However...the truth may be slightly different from what she thought.

Feng did want to become stronger, but it had nothing to do with the pursuit of a warrior. He was simply stimulated by someone.

——Although the height is different, the scenery I see now... is it somewhat similar to the world you see?

"Speaking of which, if you're looking for help, where's your precious... uh, apprentice?"

She originally wanted to tease Feng, but Shinobu Kocho noticed that the atmosphere was not right and changed her words in time.

"He has surpassed the limits of human beings. In terms of combat power, he is definitely better than Kanao and I."

"That guy is elusive, and... I don't want to rely on him."

Feng curled his lips and said, "It's already difficult to maintain the balance. If I continue to rely on him blindly, my dignity as a teacher will no longer exist!"

That kind of thing is no longer around - Shinobu Kocho smiled delicately.

As one of Feng's few friends, Shinobu Kocho knew a little about her relationship with Jiang Liu.

How can Feng be majestic if he attacks his own students?

"We will go up the mountain after the fog dissipates. Whether we can kill the monster or not, we must get down the mountain before dusk."

Feng made a rough battle plan, and Shinobu Kocho agreed.

"Then again, these guys are neither beasts nor humans, nor even demons... We can be sure that they have nothing to do with Muzan, but we can't neglect them."

Although the Demon Slayer Corps has been disbanded, it does not mean that all the swordsmen have put their weapons into storage and retired to the mountains. There are many people like Feng who cannot integrate into ordinary society. With the support of the Ubuyashiki family, these swordsmen have become small groups active in the dark side of society, specializing in solving things like "urban legends".

Although Shinobu Kocho and Kanao did not join such a group (they changed their careers to become doctors), they will provide medical support to these former comrades.

This time, they discovered extremely difficult undead monsters that ordinary swordsmen were unable to handle and even suffered casualties. The Ubuyashiki clan was worried that these monsters might be related to the dead Muzan, so they commissioned more advanced swordsmen to deal with them. After hearing about this, Feng volunteered to take on the commission.

Shinobu Kocho said that she was dragged here by Feng, but actually she followed her because she was worried about her. So the three of them entered this area together, and a lot of things happened in three days... Now they are close to the source of the undead monsters.

"almost."

When the sunlight had almost dispersed the fog, the red-haired heroine said to her companions.

"Let's go, Shinobu!"

Chapter 675: The Shadow of the Past, the Source of Immortality

The incident happened a month ago when the local government wanted to develop forest resources in the nearby mountains. When the advance team was climbing mountains and drawing topographic maps, they accidentally discovered a "paradise".

It is a small world separated by a rift and layers of mountains. It is shrouded in fog all year round. One can only vaguely see that there is a flat highland on the opposite side. Some towering places do not look like hills, but may be buildings.

Walking along the mountain, you can see something like a suspension bridge, which seems to lead to the other side, but it has not been used for who knows how long and it is already rotten. Unless someone has suicidal tendencies, no one would take the initiative to walk on it.

Originally, even hunters would not set foot in such an extremely remote place, and it was unknown how long the world on the other side had been uninhabited.

However, the cartographer is a guy with a strong desire to explore. He chose this profession because of his hobby and he must go to the other side of the world to find out what’s going on.

Since there are remains of a suspension bridge, it proves that this place has not always been an uninhabited mountain area, and there must have been people living here in the past.

So he asked the villagers who had lived at the foot of the mountain for generations, as well as the hunters who often went into the mountains, and learned that there had indeed been people there, and even a city had been built there, but it seemed to have been abandoned due to some accident.

Apart from that, even the villagers don’t know too many details, and continuing to ask will only yield some ridiculous rumors about gods and ghosts, such as a fire burning down the city, Shura descending to the world, etc., which are of no reference value at all.

Not giving up, he checked the county annals again. Fortunately, after the Tokugawa shogunate unified Japan, the country did not experience any subversive turmoil. The only major event was the Shimabara Rebellion. The documents and materials of various local governments were well preserved, allowing him to find a lot of information.

First of all, the villagers are right.

Hundreds of years ago, someone did build a city there, and it was able to defend itself in troubled times by relying on its geographical advantages, and it was considered a small country.

However, this small country has already disappeared in the tide of the times.

After defeating Toyotomi, the Tokugawa shogunate, in order to consolidate its rule, gradually conquered the remote small countries left over from the Warring States Period, and this place was no exception.

Although the indigenous people rose up in resistance, they were ultimately no match for the well-equipped shogunate army. The entire city was engulfed in flames, and the country was destroyed.

The remnants moved out of the mountains and settled down outside. They were the ancestors of the villagers. They passed down the taboo of "not approaching there" from generation to generation, causing the place to be abandoned for two hundred years and becoming a real deep mountains and old forests.

The cartographer discovered the battle records of the Tokugawa Army at the time in the documents, and from them he found the marching route of the Tokugawa Army - it is obvious that the suspension bridge would not be able to accommodate a large army!

The small town itself was not very strong, and it was able to survive in a remote corner only because of its geographical advantages and a few strong people. However, it was successfully raided by the Tokugawa army under the guidance of a guide, and thus fell into a state of destruction.

There is no detailed record of the guide in the literature. It seems that he was a ninja from the Tokugawa army, or there might be a traitor in Ojo himself. Too much time has passed and there is no way to verify it.

It has only been two hundred years, and the terrain has not changed much. The cartographer went into the mountains to explore with great interest... and then never came back.

The cartographer did not return for a whole month, and in this era it was impossible to conduct a large-scale search for just one person. The local authorities were already planning to pay compensation to his family.

However, just when everyone had concluded that he was dead, a "white ape" suddenly appeared in the village at the foot of the mountain. It hid during the day and came out at night, damaging crops and scaring the residents.

Some experienced hunters worked together to capture it, and were surprised to find that it was wearing human clothes.

Although it was already in tatters, it was still identifiable from the documents it carried - he was the draftsman from the beginning.

The villagers were naturally horrified and became even more secretive about the situation in the mountains.

The cartographer who turned into a white ape had lost the ability to speak. He did not struggle much after being captured, but he became weak and died after a few days of not eating or drinking, before the police sent by higher authorities to investigate the situation arrived.

A few days later, a large number of white-haired wild beasts ran out of the mountains and began to cause large-scale panic, and even many humans were attacked.

This incident was spread as a ghost story. After all, Japan is a country that has turned ghost legends into a cultural phenomenon. This kind of thing spread very quickly and also reached the ears of former Demon Slayer Corps personnel.

Although the Demon Slayer Corps has been disbanded, there are still many swordsmen who are committed to justice, and the Ubuyashiki family and the government will provide them with a certain degree of support and convenience.

Several people went into the mountains to investigate the situation, but only one person escaped and claimed that he had encountered an undead monster.

As the situation escalated, the monsters that appeared gradually changed from "slightly stronger than wild beasts" to large monsters that were "invincible to human power". The bigwigs, who felt that they could no longer fool people with the commotion of wild beasts in the mountains, began to seek help from capable people.

Through the connection with the Ubuyashiki family, many former Demon Slayer swordsmen extended a helping hand and began to gather here.

It’s just that the top “pillars” are scattered all over the country, and some are simply missing, so only three or four can be found at a time.

Among them, the former Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu led the swordsmen to strangle the monsters that escaped from the periphery, while the Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu brought his apprentice Kanao and accompanied his friend Torindou Feng into the mountains to explore.

Then during the investigation, Feng and his two companions discovered that the monsters that ran out of the mountain were different from the monsters in the mountain.

These alienated beasts generally grow white hair. Outside the mountains, they are just stronger and have stronger vitality. Even if there are no swordsmen, experienced hunters can catch them with traps.

Only a few stronger individuals require powerful swordsmen like Tomioka Giyuu to deal with them.

But the beasts in the mountains are different. In addition to having stronger abilities in all aspects, the biggest change is their "immortality"!

These guys are as hard to kill as demons!

Although they don't have the ability to transform their bodies like a "ghost", they won't die just because of the sun. The Sun Blade is also useless to these guys, and is no different from an ordinary weapon.

At the beginning, they were just difficult to kill. They could be made incapable of movement by cutting them into pieces or destroying their joints. But things became more and more wrong later. Feng and the other three were already a group of people with the best swordsmanship in the world, but they still had to work together to deal with these monsters.

Things didn't start to turn around until they met an ugly, short and fat monk in an abandoned Zen temple.

To be honest, the sudden appearance of a living person in such a deserted place, and his rather ugly appearance, almost made Feng and the others think that he was the mastermind or something. However, after calming down and making contact with him, they found that the other person was indeed just a human being.
