"Quickly say you want to turn back into a human!"

"You are... one of the few chosen human powerhouses!"

Even at this moment, Yingping was still using lines spoken by Akaza to retort to the other party!

What...is this guy even talking about...?

[Is your brain broken...?]

Wait, does he really have a way to turn ghosts back into humans?

Akaza's eyes were filled with ferocious bloodshot veins, and he couldn't speak at all, only spitting out blood continuously.

The sky began to lighten with the first rays of dawn, piercing through the clouds.

"It's...it's almost dawn!"

Tanjiro suddenly exclaimed in alarm, issuing a warning.

Akaza's golden pupils contracted violently, but she was still unable to move her body, which was paralyzed by lightning and trembled wildly.

He struggled desperately, but could only watch helplessly as the sunlight drew ever closer—

Oh no, they've gotten here too fast!

We must find a way to leave as soon as possible!

For the first time, genuine fear appeared in the eyes of this Upper Moon demon who had lived for hundreds of years.

"Flame Breathing, First Form: Shiranui!"

Kyojuro Rengoku seized the opportunity, his Nichirin Blade bursting into flames as he aimed straight for Akaza's neck from the side!

As he drew his sword, he thought, "Even if Mr. Shrimp scolds me for stealing the credit afterward, I must still kill the Upper Moon here!"

Yingping naturally noticed this scene, but did not stop it.

"puff!"

The scorching blade sliced ​​through the air, and Akaza's head flew high into the air; it seemed like the end was over.

"S-succeeded?"

Tanjiro asked uncertainly.

Rengoku Kyojuro sheathed his sword, turned to Yingping, and bowed respectfully: "Mr. Ebisu, we are truly grateful to you this time—"

He didn't care that the Upper Moon demon's body hadn't turned to ashes, assuming that the Upper Moon demons could just hold out a little longer than ordinary demons.

"Quickly open!"

Yingping suddenly roared, and Lianyu immediately jumped back as a conditioned reflex.

Suddenly, the headless body that had been suppressed sprang up, seemingly unleashing its life potential and breaking free!

Akaza's headless body suddenly swung its right fist towards the spot where Rengoku had originally stood!

"boom!"

A massive shockwave struck, forcing Yingping and Rengoku Kyojuro to temporarily leave the area.

"what?!"

Inosuke's pig-head mask tilted in fright, "This demon can still be this fierce even without a head?!"

The morning light finally fell upon the earth.

"laugh-"

The moment Akaza's body came into contact with sunlight, its skin began to smoke and carbonize.

But the monster turned and fled, its scorched legs bursting with incredible speed as it raced toward the forest!

"Don't run! You despicable scoundrel! Don't escape!"

Ying Ping cursed and drew his longsword, chasing after him.

Shadow Step!

His figure transformed into a black lightning bolt, catching up with the fleeing demon even though he was behind.

The Chidori Blade, accompanied by a piercing thunderous roar, pierced Akaza's back, pinning him fiercely to the ground.

"Aaaaaah—!"

The headless body convulsed wildly in the sunlight, and finally began to turn gray from the severed neck.

Yingping continued to suppress the struggling demon body and continued to curse, "No matter which battle it is, the Demon Slayer Corps always fights in the darkness that is advantageous to you!"

"They are real people with flesh and blood!"

"If you're injured, the wound won't heal easily! And if you lose your limbs, they can't be restored!"

"So you're not allowed to run away again, you wretched bastard! You scoundrel!"

Hearing these seemingly heartfelt words, Tanjiro and the other two were completely moved.

Tanjiro, in particular, felt that what Yingping said resonated with him completely.

As the morning light grew brighter, Akaza's body curled up like a burning piece of paper.

Before it completely vanished into nothingness, the body suddenly raised its right hand and grabbed at Ying Ping in a gesture of resentment—

It's as if I'm trying to grasp a figure that I can never reach.

[Ding! Main and side quests have been completed!]

[Main story reward issued: Obtain the next scene script (Demon Slayer: Yuuka Arc)]

[Special side quest kill reward has been issued: Akaza's Martial Arts Memories (including all Destruction Kill moves)]

"The reward is in hand, that's enough, any more performance would be too much."

Ying Ping slowly stood up and shook the ashes off his sword.

When I turned around, I saw three faces stunned into silence—

Tanjiro's mouth was so wide open it could fit an egg, Inosuke's pig head mask was completely crooked, and even Rengoku Kyojuro had unusually lost his ability to control his facial expressions.

"Mr. Shrimp, Mr. Shrimp Shakes..."

Rengoku Kyojuro stood at attention, stammering, "May I ask who you are...?"

"It doesn't matter who I am."

Ying Ping shook his head, exuding an aura of absolute power, and turned to leave with feigned aloofness.

"Master Shrimp Head! Wait for me!"

Inosuke lunged forward, but only managed to grab air.

Yingping's figure had already turned into a black afterimage and left, so fast that even Rengoku Kyojuro's gaze could not catch it.

I'll say it again...

Ying Ping's last words drifted through the woods, his voice seemingly coming from all directions: "My name is Shadow, I lurk in the darkness, and hunt those who dwell in the darkness."

"I hope that when I see you again, you will still be alive..."

Before the words were even finished, the dark figure had completely vanished into the morning light, leaving behind only a chaotic battlefield and three dumbfounded people...

"It disappeared..."

Tanjiro rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"Damn it! It runs way too fast!"

Inosuke pounded the ground in frustration, kicking up a cloud of dust. "I didn't even see which way he ran!"

Tanjiro walked over to his companion and gently patted him on the shoulder: "Inosuke, that Shadow is right. Our priority now is to survive and then become stronger."

"Humph!"

Inosuke quickly put his hood back on. "Next time we meet, I'll make sure he sees my strength before he takes me on as his apprentice!"

Looking at the fully risen sun on the horizon, Rengoku Kyojuro suddenly burst into hearty laughter: "Hahaha! It seems there are still powerful swordsmen in this world whom we don't know about!"

His laughter startled the birds in the forest and dispelled the somber atmosphere following the battle.

"Mr. Purgatory..."

Tanjiro asked cautiously, "Have you heard of this Mr. Shadow?"

Rengoku shook his head, a rare look of confusion on his face: "Never heard of such a thing, but to be able to fight and kill Upper Moon Three alone, and even use techniques that release electricity, that kind of strength is even greater than a Pillar..."

The three of them looked towards the center of the battlefield simultaneously—

The last ashes of Akaza remain there, along with countless trees and ground destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

Every trace testifies to the battle that just took place, a battle that transcended the limits of human capability.

"Mr. Shadow's last words..."

Tanjiro suddenly clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with determination. "He said that our Demon Slayer Corps fights with flesh and blood... Mr. Shadow must have experienced a lot too, right?"

Inosuke suddenly jumped up, excitedly brandishing his twin swords: "I've decided! From today onwards, I'm going to call myself the Second Shadow!"

"Hey! Inosuke!"

Tanjiro quickly intervened, "That's incredibly rude!"

Kyojuro Rengoku suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Interesting! But before that..."

His expression suddenly turned serious. "We must first confirm the safety of the other passengers, and then report this incident to our lord."

Tanjiro nodded, but his gaze couldn't help but drift towards the direction where Yingping had disappeared.

That mysterious swordsman in black, that man who called himself Shadow, appeared and disappeared suddenly like a divine warrior descending from the heavens, leaving behind only endless mysteries.

"Mr. Shadow..."

Tanjiro gazed at the sky, unable to contain his anticipation, and said, "We'll definitely meet again, won't we?"

The thought of having such swordsmen to fight alongside them filled them with confidence.

This increases our chances of defeating the Demon King Muzan!

At this moment, the dawn sun finally rose fully.

This light of hope, which brings warmth to the world, not only shines warmly on people but also illuminates the path forward.

Yingping stood in a void, holding the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba game script that was faintly glowing in his hand.

[System notification: You have selected to start a new scenario]

The timeline will jump to four months later.

Completing the new script will also grant new mission rewards.

As compensation for the time jump, you can train in the Mental Time Chamber for 180 days.

[Would you like to enter the Mental Time Chamber immediately?]

"Cultivating in a mental time chamber? That's interesting..."

Ying Ping's lips curled into a slight smile.

Having just defeated Upper Moon Three, he naturally didn't take Upper Moon Six and his sister, his enemies in the Yu Guo arc, seriously.

But the extra six months of training time was a pleasant surprise.

"Entry confirmed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly distorted.

The next second, Yingping found himself in a pure white, infinite space—

There are no sun, moon, or stars here, only a white horizon that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The Spiritual Time Chamber is now open.

The food, water, and lounge facilities here are plentiful.

[Note: The air inside the Spirit Time Room is thin, and the temperature fluctuates between 50 degrees Celsius and minus 40 degrees Celsius daily.]
