Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

With a flash, Akaza disappeared from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Kaigaku.

A wild smile graced his face, and his arms were raised high like a fully drawn bowstring.

Kaigaku, who was looking down, instantly contracted his pupils.

Although Akaza's figure was not visible, the intense aura of death spurred him to move.

"Oh!"

His pale, lifeless fist slammed heavily onto the ground.

The ground was instantly smashed into a large crater.

Slowly raising his hand, Akaza casually flicked the blood from his fingertips.

"Ha ha..........."

Clutching his bleeding neck and panting heavily, Kaigaku stared in horror at Akaza not far away.

With just one blow, he almost died.

If you didn't already have the thought of running away at any moment, you probably wouldn't have been able to react at all.

"Did you avoid it?"

Akaza looked at Kaigaku with great interest, a sinister smile spreading across his face.

It was weak but cunning, and like a cockroach, it couldn't be killed easily, which made it even more disgusted.

"The next blow will be your death."

With a wicked sense of humor, Akaza raised his fist and said.

Slumped on the ground, Kaigaku gasped for breath and said in a panic:

"Wait! I must have some use!"

"I can tell you a lot of information, and I can also take you to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters!"

As he spoke, his eyes kept scanning his surroundings, as if trying to find a glimmer of hope.

But this appearance only made Akaza more disgusted.

Even if the other party says they can take it to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, it's still the same.

Suddenly, Kaigaku discovered a strange 'creature' in the woods behind Akaza.

It looked like a bodyless ghost, completely black, with a strange shape on its head and white light shining from where its eyes were.

Kaigaku suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard before.

It is said that after the weapons were issued, the higher-ups would use methods to specifically monitor them.

For some reason, Kaigaku was certain that the ghost before him was the one used by those above to monitor them.

"Help me! I'm also a swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps..."

Before he could finish speaking, a huge fist pierced through Kaigaku's chest, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he never got a chance to speak again.

Turning around, Akaza looked at the empty space behind him, appearing somewhat puzzled.

Who was this guy just talking to?

On the other side, at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Ryouma calmly said:

"A guy who begged Upper Moon Three for mercy got killed."

After a pause, Luo Zhen added:

"He tried to hand over the gun that Rengoku Kyojuro brought back to save his life."

Behind Luo Zhen, Ubuyashiki Kagaya remained silent for a long time.

Chapter 718, Section 739: I'm Back from Hell

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, sitting upright in the room, stared blankly at the empty space in front of him.

He remained silent for a long time after hearing Luo Zhen's words.

Finally, a soft sigh escaped.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Luo Zhen."

Although he had considered the possibility of this happening, Kagaya Ubuyashiki still felt terrible when it actually occurred.

Being mentally prepared and not feeling uncomfortable are two different things.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki genuinely considered the members of the Demon Slayer Corps as his own family.

But at this moment, his own family members did something that was absolutely unacceptable.

A strand of his neatly combed hair slipped from his forehead, seemingly indicating his low spirits.

As a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, he knelt down and begged for mercy from the demon, and even after being warned, he still chose to hand over his weapon to save his life.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki could understand people's desire to live.

But this kind of thing has crossed the line.

Even if Kagaya Ubuyashiki felt reluctant, he could not accept this behavior.

Luo Zhen did not offer any words of comfort to Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

If the other party, as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, loses his composure over something like this, Rōzō suggests that he should hurry up and abdicate.

After making a slight adjustment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked:

"By the way, Mr. Luo Zhen, you mentioned that demon before, was it Upper Moon Three?"

"Yes."

Nodding, Luo Zhen had already guessed what Ubuyashiki Kagaya was thinking.

It's nothing more than a matter concerning Rengoku Kyojuro.

Previously, Kyojuro Rengoku was beaten to the brink of death by Upper Moon Three.

If it weren't for good luck, he would probably have died.

To be honest, Kyojuro Rengoku's situation can't be explained by just good luck.

You could say it was fate, that he wasn't meant to die.

"What about Kyojuro's side...?"

After hesitating for two seconds, Kagaya Ubuyashiki was at a loss for words.

To be honest, from his perspective, he didn't want Kyojuro Rengoku to continue facing Upper Moon Three.

After all, there are precedents.

It's not that I don't believe in Kyojuro Rengoku, it's just...

"Please rest assured and leave it to me, my lord."

"Rengoku Kyojuro, who arrived at some unknown time, said loudly."

Whether it was Luo Zhen's imagination or not, he felt that Ubuyashiki Kagaya was startled by Rengoku Kyojuro's sudden loud voice.

It must be an illusion.

"Kyojuro, are you really sure?"

After a two-second pause, Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked in a low voice.

"Well, I've decided."

Nodding, Kyojuro Rengoku spoke loudly.

Before he even returned, he had already considered defeating the evil spirit that had once killed him.

Quite by chance, I ran into it right after I got home.

You asked him why he left home in the middle of the night?

Actually, it was because a demon had appeared near the Rengoku family's residence.

After killing him, Kyojuro Rengoku abruptly ended his brief rest and headed straight for the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

"Ok."

Hearing Rengoku Kyojuro's resolute voice, Ubuyashiki Kagaya took a deep breath and said:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Kyojuro, to slay that evil spirit."

"Please leave it to me, my lord."

After saying that, Rengoku Kyojuro turned to look at Luo Zhen.

His thoughts are self-evident.

Luo Zhen didn't say much, his fingers lightly gliding across the surface.

A dimensional wall fell from the sky and swallowed up Kyojuro Rengoku.

At this point, the courtyard fell silent once again.

On the other side, Akaza was examining the guns on Kaigaku's corpse.

"Is this a musket?"

"It seems a little different."

Akaza fiddled with the guns, a puzzled expression on his face.

This thing looks somewhat like the muskets it has seen before, but it also seems a little different.

The bullets from those muskets didn't hurt it much, but the weapon gave it a very dangerous feeling.

"That's it."

Holding a bullet, I felt the stinging pain in my fingertips.

Akaza seemed to understand something.

These bullets share the same properties as the Nichirin Blade, possessing immense lethality against demons.

Just by holding Akaza's fingertips like that, a layer of flesh was burned away.

If I were hit like a musket bullet, it would probably cause a lot of damage.

Just as Akaza was thinking about taking this back to Lord Muzan, the dimensional barrier fell from the sky.

"Who?!"

Akaza suddenly turned around and roared, instinctively assuming a fighting stance.

It sensed intense fighting spirit from this strange light curtain.

Moreover, it seems somewhat familiar.

Before it could figure it out, a familiar figure came into its sight.

"You are!"

Akaza's pupils contracted sharply as he stared in shock at the familiar figure before him.

How can it be?

This guy should be dead already.

Given the extent of his injuries, he had absolutely no chance of surviving.

That's obviously the case.

But why, why is this guy here?

Is it an illusion?

Or is it just a smokescreen?

No, none of those are true.

This guy is truly here right now.
