Demon Slayer: The Second God Who Walks the Earth

Kaigaku raised his fist to smash the Horned Demon, but he was no match for it and was quickly knocked to the ground.

"You want to kill me? You think you can lay a hand on me with such trash? Upper Moon Six, huh? I'll show you what Upper Moon Six is ​​like!"

The horned demon pounded at Kaigaku with its fists while yelling and cursing at it...

Everything he once gained has vanished; now, all that remains for Kaigaku is his identity as a demon.

It holds no grudges against anyone's kindness, and therefore it doesn't deserve any kindness in return...

Kaigaku had already died and vanished. Chiba Yo looked up at the crow standing on the tree.

The crow seemed to sense something and flapped its wings, intending to fly away.

However, it did not succeed. Chiba Yang leaped and grabbed it in his hand, but he was very careful and did not use force.

Wow! Wow wow!

The crow struggled in Chiba Yang's hands, flapping its wings, but it couldn't break free at all.

Chiba Yang looked at his crow and said seriously, "Brother Crow, I have something very important to say, so I'll have to trouble you for now."

Without waiting for the crow to say anything, Chiba Yang continued, "Brother Crow, I hope you won't go around telling everyone what happened here today. I will report to the lord myself, but until then, I hope this matter is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me, understand?"

Chiba Yo didn't know if anyone else knew about Kaigaku becoming a demon. He prayed that no one else knew, otherwise, according to the Demon Slayer Corps' rules, Kuwajima Jigoro would definitely be held responsible and might have to commit suicide to atone for his sins.

Chiba Yo felt that things shouldn't have turned out this way. Judging from Gyomei's experience, Kaigaku had always had this kind of personality since childhood. He didn't know how to be grateful and often did things that harmed others for his own benefit.

Its development into what it is today has nothing to do with Kuwashima Jigoro; it can only be said that he was always like this.

If this leads to Kuwashima Jigoro committing suicide as an apology, Chiba Yo feels it would be extremely wrong, and therefore he wants to change the situation.

If a change is to be made, firstly, more people must not know about it, and it absolutely must not reach the ears of Kuwajima Jigoro, otherwise, given the nature of these former pillars, they would probably commit suicide out of guilt.

Secondly, he planned to talk to his lord. Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. He believed that his lord was definitely not the kind of person who was bound by rules, otherwise he would not have approved of Nezuko and would have chosen to cooperate with Tamayo.

The purpose of establishing this rule is to instill correct values ​​in the disciples by the trainers. Judging from Zenitsu's case, Kuwajima Jigoro did just that. The reason for Kaigaku's situation is mainly due to Kaigaku's own problems, and Kuwajima Jigoro should not be implicated.

"Wow! Why? It was your achievement to kill Upper Moon Six, why can't you say so?"

The crow clearly didn't understand the terms and asked Chiba Yang in return.

It felt proud of its powerful and capable master, and it gained a lot of face among the crows when it told others about it.

Before Chiba Yo, the most arrogant crow was Muichiro's, because Muichiro was a genius who became a Pillar in less than two months. However, after Chiba Yo came along, the situation changed. Muichiro's crow never came to Chiba Yo's crow to show off their master.

"Don't worry about why, just remember what I said and keep your mouth shut. Consider it my request, understand?" Chiba Yang said earnestly to his crow. Chiba Yang remembered that the crow had betrayed him once before at Spider Mountain.

After that incident, Chiba Yo knew that his friend was a big mouth, and he didn't know who he learned it from.

So if you want to keep this a secret, the first thing you need to do is control your own crow.

"Wow! I know! I know!"

After hearing Chiba Yang's words, the crow responded repeatedly.

Chiba Yang was still a little uneasy after hearing its words, after all, this guy had a history of messing with him.

"Fine, I'll just leave you to suffer for a while."

The crow cawed in confusion, and then Chiba Yo pulled a rope from his pocket...

Chapter 113 The Possibility of Finding Muzan

As dawn broke, Chiba Yo began his journey back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to explain the matter of Kaigaku to his lord. He had already buried all the people in that small village.

When he left, Chiba Yo had a crow pendant on him, the kind with its beak tied shut with a rope.

"Brother Crow, don't blame me. I didn't want this to happen either, but I'm really worried about you. It involves human lives, so I hope you can be understanding. I'll definitely find you a couple more worms to eat afterward."

Chiba Yang spoke to the crow as they walked, but the crow, with its beak bound, could only make "woo-woo" sounds.

Chiba Yo was on his way to headquarters, thinking that he should be able to get back in two days.

Just then, a man covered in blood was limping toward him, looking terrified, as if something terrible was chasing him.

He looked like he was about to collapse, as if he was about to fall down.

Upon discovering Chiba Yo, hope appeared on the man's face.

"Help! A monster is chasing me! Please help me!"

Although Chiba Yang looked to be only a teenager, the man was now almost desperate and could only try anything. In his mind, even if Chiba Yang couldn't fight the monster behind him, he could at least distract it, which would increase his chances of escaping.

Has another ghost appeared?

Chiba Yo frowned, feeling that something was very wrong. In the past, he would only encounter one ghost in a mission, but this time his mission was to eliminate two evil ghosts, and he encountered three more ghosts on the way. Now it seemed that he had encountered ghosts again.

Although Chiba Haru had hoped that all the demons would come looking for him, the current situation was clearly abnormal. The number of demons seemed to be increasing day by day, and the growth rate was also very fast.

Go back and ask about the other pillars...

Chiba Yo secretly made a plan in his heart.

Where is that monster?

Then Chiba Yo called out to the man from a distance.

Before the man could speak, a voice answered Chiba Yang for him.

"Hehehehehe! Even if you hide at the ends of the earth, as long as I have your blood, I can find you immediately!"

Then, accompanied by that sound, a small blood cloud floated towards the man from behind.

"We've played long enough, it's time to eat! Hehehehehe!"

After hearing these words, the man gradually fell into despair. He had thought that he had escaped the monster's pursuit time and time again with his intelligence. Every time the monster found him, it was always in a difficult and frustrating state. This made him full of hope and run away again every time he escaped the monster's attack.

Now he realized that this monster had been toying with him all along, and that he had been under its control from beginning to end.

I should have known better than to be greedy and take that little Buddha statue from that dilapidated temple...

The man was an idle fellow who had squandered all the money he had earned in the city. On his way home in the evening, he saw a small Buddha statue in a dilapidated temple. Thinking that he could exchange it for some money, he went in to take the statue with him, and that's when he encountered this monster.

After realizing the truth, the man simply collapsed to the ground and stopped running, awaiting his death.

The blood mass floated above the man and stopped there. Then, a somewhat hunchbacked, white-haired ghost appeared in front of Chiba Yang and walked towards the man. It also noticed Chiba Yang.

"I didn't expect to get an extra meal tonight, that's great, hehehehe! It's a pity that this guy must have heard about my ability just now, so I probably can't tease him anymore."

But I've had enough fun anyway.

The white-haired demon was somewhat surprised to see Chiba Yang. After muttering to himself for a while, he decided to go over and kill Chiba Yang first, and then eat the two people.

"As long as there is blood, you can track it down?"

At this moment, Chiba Yang spoke, his voice filled with excitement.

"Hehehehe! Of course!" The white-haired ghost nodded smugly and stopped in his tracks.

Chiba Yona's apparent admiration for its Blood Demon Art temporarily dissuaded the white-haired demon from killing it, prompting him to properly explain his Blood Demon Art to it.

Because its Blood Demon Art is not very useful to demons, it has been ridiculed by other demons. Now that someone is willing to learn about its Blood Demon Art, and it seems that they quite approve of it, it is overjoyed and thinks it can kill this boy later.

"Can you track me down no matter where I am?" Chiba Yo asked again.

“Of course!” The white-haired ghost nodded again, and then added, “Moreover, my Blood Demon Art is absolutely accurate in tracking. Even if a person’s body contains the blood of another person, my Blood Demon Art can accurately find the target based on the proportion of blood in the body.”

Hehehehe! How about it, kid? Isn't my Blood Demon Art incredibly powerful?

The white-haired ghost smiled and asked Chiba Yang.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! And incredibly useful!" Chiba Yang exclaimed repeatedly.

He was incredibly excited. Not being able to find Muzan's whereabouts had always been a major source of distress for him. Even when he discussed it with his master and Tamayo last time, they couldn't come up with a solution. In the end, only Tamayo came up with a method that had a chance of luring Muzan out, but the probability was extremely low.

However, the demon in front of them had the ability to solve this problem. According to it, as long as it could obtain relatively pure Muzan's blood, its Blood Demon Art could track Muzan's location.

Miss Tamayo should have a way to get Muzan's blood, but it's unclear whether this guy will be cursed to death after using Muzan's blood to perform this Blood Demon Art. If he's going to be killed directly, then it's useless.

However, we can't draw any conclusions right now. In any case, I still know too little about demons. We should hand this guy over to Ms. Tamayo for further study.

If we can really find a way to find Muzan...

Thinking of this, Chiba Yo was so excited that he could hear his own heartbeat. The possibility of completely annihilating the demons and killing Muzan was now right before his eyes!

"Hehehehehe! You little brat, you're so sweet-talking, I almost don't want to kill you anymore. Too bad..."

The white-haired demon had only spoken halfway when he realized that Chiba Yo, who had just been standing in front of him, had vanished.

The next instant, a heavy blow, like being slammed down by a sledgehammer, landed on the white-haired ghost's neck, interrupting its unfinished words and even breaking its neck.

However, since it wasn't cut with a Nichirin Blade, its life wouldn't be in danger.

An excited Chiba Yo hoisted the white-haired demon and ran towards Tamayo's residence.

Kibutsuji Muzan, this time you definitely won't be able to escape!

The man who had been lying on the ground with his eyes closed, waiting to die, could no longer hear any sound. When he opened his eyes, he found that there was no one around him, and the monster from before had also disappeared.

This...this...could it be that a deity saved me?

The bewildered man attributed the incident to supernatural forces. Overwhelmed with joy at surviving the ordeal, he immediately got up and limped home, still crying.

"Waaaah... My God, I promise I will never be idle again. Please, please don't let me encounter this kind of monster again."

The man attributed his night's ordeal to divine punishment for his past actions and vowed to change himself.

Chapter 114 Extracting Blood Demon Technique

In a basement next to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters

Chiba Yo pushed open the basement door, carrying a very rough wooden box on his back.

Yushiro carried several reagent bottles into the inner room. After hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Chiba Yo, and then showed a very displeased expression.

"Is Ms. Tamayo here now?" Chiba Yo's excitement had not yet subsided.

After encountering the demon that could track its target with blood, he knocked it unconscious and brought it to Tamayo.

However, the journey was too far, and he couldn't make it in one night. As dawn approached, he had no choice but to cut down two trees and piece together the wood to make a very simple box, which he then carried on his back.

The demon woke up several times during the journey, and each time Chiba Yang noticed it, he would immediately deliver another heavy blow. So far, the demon's neck has broken and healed again, probably nearly ten times.

Because the box was too simple, Chiba Yang couldn't take care of the crow tied to his waist while carrying the ghost on his back, causing it to suffer a lot of bumps on the road. Chiba Yang could only silently apologize to it in his heart.

Of course, he did this out of desperation, and definitely not to take revenge on Brother Crow.

Yushiro looked at Chiba Yo with some confusion, but he didn't want to pay attention to it and simply said to Chiba Yo, "He's not here."

Chiba Yo was puzzled when he heard Yushiro say that she wasn't there, so he asked again, "It's daytime now, where could Tamayo be if she's not here?"

Yushiro said impatiently, "How should I know? Anyway, Lady Tamayo isn't here, so you'd better leave."

After saying that, he was about to take the reagent bottle into the inner room.

Chiba Yo didn't quite believe Yushiro's words, and just as he was about to ask again, a sound suddenly came from the box behind him.

After Chiba Yang noticed this, he put the box on the ground and opened the heavy wooden lid on top, and the demon stretched out its hand.

"Spare me...please..."

The white-haired ghost mumbled weakly. Qianye Yang pulled it out and then delivered a palm strike to its neck, which was already protruding forward.

A dull thud sounded, and the white-haired ghost let out a muffled groan before fainting again. Already hunchbacked, it would probably look exactly like a turtle sticking its head out if it stood up now.

"It's really troublesome..."

Chiba Yo let out a sigh; he had repeated this action nearly ten times along the way.

“Yushiro, you can’t deceive Mr. Yang like this.”

Just then, Tamayo's voice rang out from the front, and then she pushed open the door of the room in front and came out, wearing a white outfit that looked like it was for protection.

"Yes, Lady Tamayo!"

As soon as Tamayo came out, Yushiro immediately became obedient, stood up straight, and loudly answered Tamayo.

Lady Tamayo is so beautiful even after she finished the experiment!

Yushiro's cheeks flushed slightly as he silently cried out in his heart.

"Excuse me, Yang. May I ask what you need me for?"

As Tamayo took off her outer protective suit, she spoke to Chiba Yo.
