The earth was torn apart at this moment, and countless sand and soil fell like rain.

Rengoku Kyojuro frowned, stood there without saying a word, and tightly grasped the Nichirin Sword in his hand.

Not far away, Tanjiro struggled to sit up, gasping for breath as he watched the battle over Cigarette Money. As for the boar-headed boy who ran over from behind the overturned train, he was now standing next to Tanjiro, his whole body frozen.

"Is there a different dimension next to those two people..."

The boy's somewhat rough voice trembled.

There's no way to get close.

As long as you dare to get close to those two people.

You will die immediately.

Every muscle in my body is reminding me of this.

What on earth are these guys? How can they have such powerful strength? Such a——

boom!

As the fists collided again, Akaza took several steps back.

In the contest of strength, he as a ghost was completely inferior to Lin Yi as a human, so in the fierce attack, he was the first one to give up.

However, after only a slight retreat, Akaza attacked again without any pause. He did not show any sign of fatigue as he launched another series of fierce attacks.

[Destruction Kill·Foot Style·Crown First Cut! ]

The fierce kick from bottom to top was broken on the knee by Lin Yi's backhand punch. However, the tearing wind still opened a wound on Lin Yi's side face, and a tiny trace of blood immediately flowed out.

Akaza took advantage of the situation and turned around suddenly. He flew into the air, then kicked hard towards Lin Yi's face, but Lin Yi blocked it with his hand.

thump—

At the moment of collision, the land where the two men were standing exploded again, and large pieces of gravel and soil flew up.

At the same time as Akaza kicked out, he twisted his body again in mid-air, turned his other foot around, and kicked up with even more ferocious force.

Boom-!

Amid the more violent collision, Lin Yi stood still among the flying dust, just defending against the attacks and calmly staring at the enemy in front of him.

Akaza followed up with another kick in the air, and before landing on the ground, he launched a fierce attack like a cannonball.

Boom-! ! !

Three consecutive heavy kicks finally shook Lin Yi's defense, causing him to fall to one side.

Akaza's mouth was grinning, and he was about to attack again. But his expression changed immediately, and he quickly took a defensive stance. Then, Lin Yi, who seemed to be overwhelmed by the shaken defense, turned his whole body and kicked out fiercely, and the posture was no different from Akaza's previous attack.

Boom——

With just the first strike, Akaza's entire body tilted uncontrollably.

Lin Yi's body twisted once again, and he flew into the air. He kicked out fiercely, aiming directly at Akaza's head.

Rumble——!

Amidst an even more terrifying roar, the ground on one side of Inosuke's body was torn into a large hole by the air wave.

The evil ghost had already knelt on one knee under the heavy blow, and could hardly bear the pressure.

Then, before landing, Lin Yi suddenly turned around and kicked out a third time. It was exactly the same move as Akaza's before, but it was completely different and even more powerful.

Bang! ! !

Half of Akaza's head, along with one arm, flew into the air.

His entire body flew out and fell heavily onto the ground which was already riddled with holes.

[Breath of Flame——]

Having found the key entry point, Rengoku Kyojuro rushed in front of Akaza the next moment, and swung the broken sword hard, almost cutting off the evil ghost's neck.

"Hey, hey, don't disturb me. It's so hard to find such a strong enemy to fight against."

He swung his fist and hit the broken sword of the Flame Pillar, deflecting it. Without giving the opponent a chance to use his breathing technique, Akaza regenerated his head and arms instantly, grinning and kicking the Flame Pillar's sword, sending him flying with the sword.

Then he turned around and ducked to avoid Lin Yi's punch. The two exchanged attacks several times again, and finally retreated at the same time in a violent collision. However, Lin Yi only retreated a few steps, while Akaza retreated 20 to 30 meters before stopping.

"It's so satisfying. It's really satisfying. I have never encountered an opponent as strong as you in more than two hundred years."

Akaza let out a long breath, his eyes filled with strong desire.

"You must become a ghost, Lin Yi. If a being as powerful as you cannot become a ghost, it would be a huge loss!"

Reaching out his hand towards Lin Yi, Akaza's voice became more affectionate.

"…How did you dodge that just now?"

However, Lin Yi completely ignored the evil ghost in front of him and his incomprehensible words, and just stared at him and asked with a little confusion.

"If you were a ghost, I could tell you this kind of thing right away."

Akaza smiled softly and continued speaking.

"I can be sure that when this yellow-haired man chopped you, I made absolutely no sound. I approached you from behind, from your blind spot. You couldn't have seen my movements. After all, you don't have eyes behind you."

Lin Yi was too lazy to pay attention to what the other party said and just started analyzing it on his own.

"The dodge just now was not so much that you saw my attack and dodged it, but rather that you predicted my attack route in some way and reacted in advance."

"But this is a bit hard to explain, because when I first attacked you with the gun, you were completely unable to predict the trajectory of the bullet and was hit directly by me. The reason you dodged and defended later was because you saw the gun in my hand and could only react when you could see the trajectory."

"The biggest difference is that my attacks are launched by myself, while bullets are fired by machines without any life or autonomous consciousness. Does this mean that you have some ability to detect hostility towards living things?"

While analyzing it seriously, he looked at the approximate time left until dawn on the display panel that only he could see.

As Lin Yi finished speaking, Akaza's eyes became brighter and brighter, and by the time he finished speaking, the evil ghost couldn't help but start clapping.

"Amazing, really amazing. You haven't received any breathing training, but you have a powerful strength that countless people will never be able to possess."

"Besides your excellent combat awareness, you also possess such a great battlefield analysis ability. You were able to crack my blood vampire magic in such a short fight."

"Great, great, great, great, I really like you so much, Lin Yi! If you, who are so excellent, can't turn into a ghost, then I can only--"

Before he finished speaking, Akaza had already taken a step forward and sprinted forward.

"——I'll kill you!"

Then, along with his voice, he swung his fist forward.

laugh--

And the fingers that Lin Yi stretched out and pierced his two eyes.

"Hey?"

The moment he was injured, Akaza was slightly stunned.

It didn't react.

It was completely unable to react to the attack that Lin Yi launched on its eyes just now.

The blood demon art mastered by Akaza, who is the third upper rank, [Destruction Killing·Compass Needle], once activated, can sense the opponent's aura like a compass. As long as the opponent launches an attack, the opponent's attack intention and attack direction can be known, so no matter how sophisticated the surprise attack is, it will never work. The stronger the enemy is, the more turbulent the aura is, the more clearly the compass can sense it, but it was completely unable to detect Lin Yi's attack just now.

This is impossible. Even if the secret of the compass needle is cracked, as long as a person launches an attack, [qi] will inevitably leak out. It is like a fire in the dark night. The stronger it is, the more vigorously it burns, and the more impossible it is to hide its existence in the dark night. In the previous battle, if the breath of the Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro was a blazing fire, then Lin Yi's breath could be described as a flame that had the tendency to burn the forest.

Such a fierce flame, so clear, like the existence of a raging fire on the plain in the dark night, just at the moment just now, at the moment the opponent launched the attack, it suddenly disappeared.

This is impossible.

This is impossible.

tread!

Akaza stomped his foot on the ground and took a step back, but the regeneration of his eyes did not work immediately.

There is no way to regenerate immediately.

why?

Because there were two metal bullet casings stuck in Akaza's eye sockets.

In the previous attack, Lin Yi stabbed two bullet casings vertically into Akaza's eye sockets, and then turned them sideways, just getting stuck on both sides of the eye sockets in the skull, causing the regenerated flesh and blood to be stuck and unable to recover immediately.

This sudden move made Akaza stunned again, and immediately afterwards, Lin Yi rushed forward and hit it with his clenched fist.

The sound of fists being thrown can be heard.

Under normal circumstances, even if he couldn't see with his eyes, Akaza could use the compass to immediately know the direction of Lin Yi's attack.

But now it feels nothing.

Lin Yi was clearly right in front of it, and it could clearly hear Lin Yi's voice.

But in its blood ghost technique, in the perception of the compass needle, the fist that Lin Yi swung had no landing point.

There was no intention to kill, no intention to fight, not even any intention at all.

It was like Lin Yi, who threw this punch, had no idea where he was going to hit. No, it was like he didn't even know where he was going to throw the punch.

Is it possible for such a thing to exist?

chap!

With a rapid piercing explosion, Lin Yi's fist directly pierced through Akaza's chest.

The counterattack came almost immediately. Although he couldn't understand how Lin Yi avoided the detection of the Luo needle, Akaza still swung his fist quickly and hit Lin Yi's body with two fierce punches. The heavy blow made Lin Yi spit out blood immediately.

Then, Lin Yi's other hand directly grabbed Akaza's neck.

It was not until this moment that the evil ghost understood what Lin Yi wanted to do.

He wanted to tear himself off from this body, from the chest to the neck and the head.

If that happened, he would lose his limbs and most of his torso. Even for an Upper Rank 3, Akaza couldn't recover instantly from such a serious injury. If he couldn't recover immediately, the Flame Pillar, who was always watching the battlefield for an opportunity, would rush in front of him and have his neck chopped off by the Sun Blade.

You will die.

"Get out of my way!"

[Destruction Kill·Final Style·Blue and Silver Random Light! ]

It seemed as if endless green afterlight surged up from all directions of Akaza and rushed towards Lin Yi with an extremely cruel posture.

This fatal attack can easily kill even a pillar-level fighter. After fighting in the volunteer mission and being injured in the fight just now, Lin Yi would undoubtedly die if he were to withstand this attack.

"Be careful, get out of the way!"

Rengoku Kyojuro, who reacted the moment Akaza performed the technique, shouted and rushed forward at this moment.

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth just curled up slightly in a smile.

[Start returning to the Savior Community, transmission begins]

Lin Yi disappeared on the spot, leaving Akaza, who was releasing the spell, stunned in place.

[Enter Tanjiro Kamado's world, and the transmission begins]

Then, after Tanjiro pressed a panel button to agree to the transmission, Lin Yi, who had avoided Akaza's special move, appeared again out of thin air, with his hand even inserted in his chest and the other hand grabbing his hair.

"Kun, you never expected that, did you?"

The next moment, as Lin Yi smiled, Akaza's head and neck were pulled off by him in an extremely violent manner.

Amid the splattering blood, Akaza's headless body with only a big hole left in its chest stumbled back a step, and then Lin Yi grabbed Akaza's head and threw it in the direction of Rengoku Kyojuro.

"Uh-"

[Breathing of Flame, Second Form, Flame Rising! ]

As a veteran Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, and on his way to Lin Yi, Rengoku Kyojuro reacted in an instant, and even though only half of the Nichirin Sword was left in his hand, he still swung it upwards with great swiftness, and just like that, he swung it across Akaza's neck, cutting it off.

Chapter B-05: Meow~ Catching a Big Fish

His own head was chopped off?

In mid-air, with the bullet casing squeezed out of his eye socket and his eyeball grown back, Alpha Centauri stared blankly at the world rolling before his eyes.

As an immortal demon, the only things that can destroy it are sunlight and having its neck cut off by the Nichirin Sword. The reason why the Nichirin Sword can hurt or even kill demons is that the material used to make the Nichirin Sword, the gorilla scarlet iron, absorbs sunlight, so it can completely kill the demon after cutting off the neck, which is the vital part.

For an immortal ghost, having his neck cut by the Nichirin sword means the end of his life.

That’s right, so I’m going to die.
