They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

Following Ling Yu's gaze, Tanjiro said.

"Ellie."

Ling Yu didn't make a move, but instead let out a soft cry.

Ellie immediately reached out and grabbed at the air.

In the distance, within the dense forest, a strangely shaped Honkai Beast was grabbed by the Imaginary Giant Claw and then thrown in front of Ling Yu through the Imaginary Space.

This Honkai Beast wasn't very big, only about five or six meters tall.

But the ground still trembled slightly upon landing.

Upon seeing the Honkai Beast, Tanjiro immediately gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly.

It seemed that only this knife could give him a little sense of security.

“It’s a Honkai Beast, it must have just recently transformed,” Ellie said to Ling Yu.

Ling Yu didn't speak. With a wave of his hand, dozens of golden chains shot out from the void, binding the Honkai Beast tightly so that Ling Yu could observe it up close.

However, he frowned after reading it.

"Although it's shallow, it is indeed Honkai energy."

"Strange, who brought Honkai energy into this world?"

It was his first time here, so it couldn't possibly be him.

Could it be true, as Tanjiro said, that there are time travelers in this world?

With that thought in mind, Ling Yu snapped his fingers, and the Honkai Beast in front of him automatically decomposed into atoms.

"Group owner, do you recognize this monster?" Tanjiro asked.

"Honkai Beasts are creatures created and infected by Honkai energy," Ling Yu explained.

"Can we solve this?" Tanjiro asked quickly.

"Even if your pillars come, they won't be able to break through the enemy's defenses."

"Moreover, it's obvious that it has only recently transformed into a Honkai Beast. If we can't find the source of the Honkai, over time, Honkai Beasts that are over ten meters tall will appear in droves," Ling Yu said calmly.

Tanjiro: "!!!"

Are Honkai Beasts, some over ten meters tall, appearing in droves?

Tanjiro's face turned horrified at the thought of that scene.

They could probably flatten the island nation.

The matter of the demons hasn't been resolved yet, and now a Honkai Beast has appeared. Tanjiro truly feels that his country is plagued by disasters.

Why not just immigrate to Limuruna?

At least it's peaceful and stable there, and the environment is decent.

"Let's go. I sense there's another big one in this forest," Ling Yu's voice interrupted Tanjiro's worries.

"big guy?"

Tanjiro's pupils contracted upon hearing this.

Before he could react, the surrounding scenery began to rush past him.

In the blink of an eye, once Tanjiro's body had stabilized, he saw a demon howling in agony inside a cave ahead.

At this moment, half of its body had already been eroded by pink Honkai energy.

It seems that they will be completely assimilated soon.

"Is this turning into a group of assassins?" Ling Yu wondered.

This is interesting.

If a demon could control the power of Honkai energy, then overcoming sunlight would be no problem at all.

After all, that was a transformation to another level of life.

Honkai Beasts are not something that demons can easily mess with.

What blue spider lily? I'm not familiar with it, I really am not familiar with it, please step aside!

With a whoosh, Tanjiro drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist.

When faced with an evil spirit, the first thing to do is to draw your weapon.

Otherwise, there won't even be a chance to react.

Tanjiro, carrying his Nichirin Blade, slowly walked towards the demon that was gradually being transformed by Honkai energy.

"Water Breathing - First Form: Water Surface Slash".

The most common straight cut often brings the fastest victory.

Perhaps because this demon was desperately resisting the corruption of the Honkai, it neglected to be vigilant and observant of the outside world, and thus, its head was easily cut off by Tanjiro.

"Success!"

Tanjiro exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the fallen demon head.

However, before he could rejoice for long, countless tumors began to swell from the headless corpse.

"what?!"

Tanjiro was startled. To his astonishment, the headless corpse began to grow taller, reaching a height of nine meters before stopping.

The demon had changed its appearance; its severed head had regrown, and it was covered in white armor, with pink Honkai energy oozing from the grooves on its surface.

It looks exactly like a humanoid Honkai Beast.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the demon, which had transformed into a colossal creature, let out a deafening roar.

The shock caused Tanjiro, who was nearby, to have a splitting headache.

"So, the transformation of demons isn't into assassins, but rather into Honkai Beasts?"

Ling Yu murmured after reading it.

He thought they were assassins.

Yes, ghosts are neither human nor ghost.

It's already considered a pure wild beast.

After a brief examination, Ling Yu discovered that the amount of Honkai energy stored within the opponent's body was even less than that of a rushing Honkai Beast.

It's truly pitifully small.

"Hinokami Kagura! Yang Hua Tu!"

Faced with the unknown, Tanjiro immediately unleashed his ultimate attack.

Faintly, one could see flames flickering on his blade.

Unfortunately, reality doesn't offer special effects.

The thrust, imbued with Tanjiro's full power, pierced the Honkai Beast's hard outer armor.

Not only did it fail to break through the armor, but with a loud 'bang!', Tanjiro's Nichirin Blade broke in two!

Of course, it's not that the quality of the Nichirin Tori is bad.

But...

Tanjiro looked at the broken sword in his hand and noticed that the blade had turned black and was being corroded by something.

Unlike ordinary energy, Honkai energy is highly corrosive.

"Roar!"

Tanjiro's attack, though not very damaging, enraged the new type of Honkai Beast.

It angrily raised its fist and slammed it down on Tanjiro.

Tanjiro instinctively crossed his arms to protect his head.

Just as Tanjiro was about to be smashed into a pulp, at the critical moment, a golden chain shot out from the void and pierced straight through the chest of the new Honkai Beast.

The Honkai Beast, bound by chains, froze.

The light in his eyes vanished quickly.

Finally, he fell heavily to the ground.

"Ordinary weapons are useless against Honkai Beasts because they will be corroded by the powerful corrosiveness of Honkai energy."

As Ling Yu explained, he casually lifted the restraining chains that were still attached to the Honkai Beasts, and they returned to the imaginary space.

Tanjiro looked on with adoration.

As expected of the group admin.

too strong!

But soon, he returned to reality, looked at the broken knife in his hand, and said bitterly, "Now, I'm going to get scolded again."

"Why not take this opportunity to get a new weapon?"

Ling Yu's figure had appeared beside him at some point, looking at the already dead Honkai Beast.

Tanjiro was taken aback and asked in confusion, "How do I change?"

Ling Yu pointed to the Honkai Beast corpse on the ground: "Isn't this the perfect source of material?"

Tanjiro hesitated: "But group leader, you just said that the Honkai energy on its body has a very strong corrosive effect..."

"Why not just add a hilt and scabbard that can isolate Honkai energy?"

"Hey?"

Tanjiro was stunned.

Can it still be like this?

It was a tactic he hadn't anticipated.

Actually, it's quite simple. Treat Honkai energy as a toxin and refine it onto the blade. As long as you control it and don't harm yourself, it becomes a deadly weapon.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Tanjiro asked.

Ling Yu waved his hand and, under Tanjiro's gaze, casually tore off a piece of white armor from the Honkai Beast's corpse.

With his kneading and adjustments, a brand new katana was created in just a few seconds.

After constructing the scabbard, he inserted it into the scabbard and threw it at Tanjiro.

"Okay."

Tanjiro was startled when he saw the katana flying towards him without any warning, and quickly reached out to catch it.

After a flurry of activity, I finally managed to hold it steady.

Tanjiro Kamado, who caught the katana, immediately drew it out.

The chilling aura emanating from the blade, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, sent shivers down Tanjiro's spine.

Not daring to look at it for long, Tanjiro quickly sheathed his sword and asked Ling Yu, "Group Leader, does this sword have a name?"

"Tenmoku Shadow Blade," Ling Yu said casually.

Chapter 178 Emperor-level Honkai Beast

"Tianmu Yingdao..."

Tanjiro murmured softly, his red pupils clearly reflecting the outline of the blade.

His gaze shifted, and upon noticing that Ling Yu had already started walking forward, he quickly sheathed his longsword and followed in Ling Yu's footsteps.

Where are we going now?

With her hands behind her back, Alice walked briskly beside Ling Yu and asked a question.

Ling Yu smiled slightly and said, "I'm quite curious about the source of this collapse. While investigating, I'll treat it as sightseeing."
