Offer a savior to the infinite world!

Reaching out her hand, the little girl handed a piece of torn cloth that looked like it had been torn from someone's body to Tanjiro. Then she tilted her little head back with a very proud expression, as if the words "Praise me now" were written directly on her face.

"Is this the piece of clothing from the person who took Lillian away? I can smell a very strong odor. Even though it's raining hard, if I chase him immediately, I should be able to identify the smell and track him down."

Tanjiro put the scraps of cloth next to his nose and sniffed it carefully, then looked at Lin Yi and Suzuran and said seriously.

"Do you still have this ability? Then let's set off immediately. We must race against time now."

Without hesitation, Lin Yi immediately followed up.

Although he actually had many questions he wanted to ask Tanjiro, such as why his sister was not counted as a savior but was able to appear with him, and why Tanjiro had not taken the initiative to mention his sister in the past two days, etc. However, after sorting out the priorities, rescuing old Bob's granddaughter as soon as possible was obviously the most important thing at the moment. Once he missed the opportunity, even if the old man didn't say anything, Lin Yi himself would not be able to forgive himself.

I clearly promised him to protect his family...

If you can't do it, no, there is no if, what you promised must be fulfilled.

Absolutely, absolutely not breaking the agreement.

absolute! ! !

With his fists clenched, Lin Yi's eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

Chapter 25: Hey~Water Breathing?

Crash--crash--

The torrential rain still fell on the quiet mountain town.

The roaring rain continued like it would never stop.

In the rain, three figures shuttled through the woods, advancing quickly through the mud.

"The direction of the smell extends straight in this direction. The people who took Lillian away did not make any detours or stops along the way. Hmm, if we go in this direction, is this where the mayor's villa is?"

Tanjiro, who was walking in front and carrying a wooden box on his back, muttered with a frown on his face.

He had learned a little about the structure of the entire town before, and knew the direction of the mayor's family, the only one not in the town. To be honest, although there was no evidence, Tanjiro actually suspected from the beginning whether there was something wrong with this town. After all, when the whole town was entangled in a curse, the mayor's family had always been very prosperous, and they had little contact with other townspeople, which made it easy for people to feel that something was wrong.

But now it seems that, rather than saying that one can sense the abnormality at first sight, it is better to say that he has never tried to conceal his abnormality from the beginning to the end.

Just like Sheriff Lester and Constable Parson, the people with real problems in this town did not hide themselves from the beginning. After all, the townspeople living here had no culture, no high knowledge, and no power to protect themselves.

Therefore, as long as they disguised themselves a little and used some superstitious legends, they could easily fool most people. Even if there were smart people who could see through the tricks and find the problem, they could just kill them. After all, the townspeople had no ability to resist the weird monsters.

This was the conclusion Lin Yi came to before setting off.

In Lin Yi's own words, this is very obvious, and one can understand the conclusion as long as one gets a little relevant information.

This conclusion made Tanjiro feel so angry that he could not control himself, and it was completely unbearable.

Those people, those guys, what on earth do they take life for?

Once every seventy years, ordinary people who cannot resist are wantonly slaughtered.

They tortured and killed the townspeople in various inhumane ways, peeled off their skin alive, and killed those who fled the town in search of a chance of survival.

So vile... so inhumane...

Sheriff Lester even asked for forgiveness after killing the townspeople's children. These people, who have carried out massacres over and over again over the years, no, they are no longer human in their hearts. Even if they still have human appearance and can communicate with humans, they are definitely not human.

Their atrocities must be stopped.

Stop these bastards' atrocities forever and once and for all!

The boy carrying the box had a heart burning like fire at this moment.

"According to this distance and speed, we will arrive at the mayor's house in six minutes."

Lin Yi, who was walking in second place, looked at the surrounding trees, roughly estimated the distance, and then spoke.

"The enemy should be aware of our arrival. I'm afraid they will launch an attack at any time."

Lily of the Valley, who was walking last, spoke as she tightly gripped the staff in her hand and watched the situation around her carefully.

slam-la-

The rain continued to fall.

It seems like it will never change, just flowing without stopping.

The rain soaked the three people's clothes and hair, affecting their movements to some extent. But now the three of them could no longer care about such things. At this moment, the only thing they cared about was to rescue Lillian as soon as possible and end this matter as soon as possible.

Swoosh—whoosh—

The sound of the rain seemed to be mixed with other sounds in an instant.

"coming!"

It's hard to describe in words. I don't know whether to call it intuition or some kind of premonition.

At this moment, Lin Yi noticed the unusual sound mixed in the rain before Tanjiro and Suzuran, and looked directly towards the source of the sound.

"Left, very fast!"

"understood!"

At the same moment the voice rang out, Tanjiro's steps suddenly stopped.

Drawing the sword and swinging it, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

when!

Amid the sound of violent collision, foxfire illuminated the dark forest, illuminating the enemy who was trying to attack.

A skinny body and a monster-like head.

It was undoubtedly the same kind of monster that was killed by the three people not long ago, another strange and deformed monster.

[Water Breathing·Pick-up Form-Flowing! 】

Breathing suddenly focused.

The blade swept up in an instant, rolling up the water like a tornado.

In the first circle of rotation, the blade collided with the limbs, making a violent interlaced sound. The boy's body was pushed back and took a step back slightly.

The second circle was performed without hesitation. A large amount of water was swept up at this moment. The second knife collided with the limb again. The violent explosion rolled up sparks. The result of this attack was that both sides maintained their balance without retreating or advancing.

Then, the Nichirin Sword in Tanjiro's hand rotated for the third time.

Bang!

The bursting water flows like a blooming flower.

Under the illumination of the fox fire released by Lily of the Valley, the boy's last knife, which was a combination of three consecutive rotations, forcibly chopped the twisted monster away, causing it to crash into a small tree not far away. The huge impact force directly broke the trunk of the tree, causing the entire tree to fall down with the deformed monster and hit the ground heavily.

"Right, the second one, the third one is coming."

Unfortunately, neither Lin Yi nor Linglan had time to cheer for the boy's wonderful attack.

As they got closer and closer to their destination, the enemy also showed its strength at this moment. Two skinny monsters rushed out from the dark woods, one rushed straight towards Lin Yi, and the other quickly approached Linglan, seemingly intending to quickly eliminate them in a three-on-three manner.

"Including the first one, there are now four of them. It seems that our Mayor Bielxi really likes to keep such strange-looking pets. I just wonder if he personally does the breeding work. If so, I have to admit that I really admire him."

Complaining like this, Lin Yi took a step back and retreated directly to the side of Linglan.

"Please don't make such dirty jokes, Mr. Lin Yi."

Lily of the Valley frowned slightly and waved the staff in her hand. Two fox fires hit the two monsters that suddenly appeared on the left and right, repelling them. Then the fox girl turned to look at Lin Yi seriously like a little adult and said seriously.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, but, um, one more has arrived, so four in total? Well, we can almost proceed as planned, I'll leave it to you two."

Turning around to look at the fourth deformed monster that appeared behind him, Lin Yi smiled lightly at this moment and took off the shotgun on his back while speaking.

"Well, I see."

With a slight nod, Lily of the Valley slammed the staff in her hand to the ground, and the blue fluorescence suddenly released in the next moment.

Chapter 26: Hey~Fox Fire is everywhere?

The blue light spread in an instant.

The dark woodland was completely illuminated in an instant. The illusory blue light covered a distance of dozens of meters at this moment. It was so bright that everyone in the nearby town could see it clearly. It spread out like this, completely encircling a large area.

A phantom-like long fox tail extended from the girl's original tail, as if her tail had grown longer. But the nine illusory tails that emerged with the blue light seemed to be slightly different from the girl's own tail, a difference that Lin Yi could hardly describe or express. This strange power seemed to come from some special nature of the girl herself, a hidden specialness that would not normally be revealed.

And now, this power was finally used by the girl without reservation.

"The speed of these things has all slowed down?!"

The boy raised his head in surprise and looked at the twisted monsters around him.

The four deformed monsters that appeared from different directions all became sluggish at this moment. Their previously extremely swift movements were now like being stuck in a quagmire, and they could only move extremely slowly and with difficulty, completely losing their original agility.

call--

The cold blue fox fire was burning brilliantly at this moment.

Standing in the released light, the girl holding up the scepter in her hand was released in a ethereal manner.

The blooming light bound the four twisted and deformed monsters tightly, almost locking their movements. No, not only the monsters were delayed, but even the falling rain, even the drifting leaves, everything in the blue field cast by the girl was delayed at this moment. Only the girl herself, and her companions Lin Yi and Tanjiro were not affected.

This power, Linglan herself called it [Fox Fire].

Obviously, their enemies did not expect Lin Yi and his team to use such a trick. The previous difficult battle in front of Bob's cabin with just one monster gave these enemies some kind of illusion, and the result of the illusion was that they had to pay a price.

The opportunity is now, right now!

Holding the Sun Blade tightly in his hand, the young man did not hesitate at all at this moment and stepped forward to face the enemy in front of him.

With the power of the Water Breathing technique, there is no way to easily cut off the limbs of these things.

Therefore, if you want to end the battle as quickly as possible, you must use more powerful force.

Take steps.

Breathing changes, adjusts, and refocuses in an instant.

[The God of Fire Kagura——]

zizi——

The black sun blade wielded in his hand seemed to be stained with fiery red flames at this moment, evaporating the nearby rain.

He took a step forward, charged forward, and swung his blade.

【Yang Hua Tu! 】

The blade rotated and thrust forward in an instant.

The twisted monster in front tried hard to raise its arms to block, but it had no time to defend itself and its head was pierced through in an instant. Tanjiro split his entire head in half with a single blow.

"Hush-huh-"

Take a deep breath and inhale the moist smell of rain into your lungs.

A little bit of a surprise feeling.

Under normal circumstances, when I use the Fire God Kagura, I will quickly feel exhausted, and I cannot afford the consumption of using the Fire God Kagura. But now, I feel like I can swing it easily and use the Fire God Kagura easily.

It was as if the consumption caused by sword skills and breathing itself was offset by some external force.

Is this also the effect of the power released by that girl?

The moment Tanjiro turned around, he couldn't help but take a second look at Suzuran who was also maintaining this faint light area.

Then, without hesitation, he went to meet the two deformed monsters standing together not far away.

[The God of Fire Kagura: Round Dance! ]

The Sun Blade in his hand drew an arc in an instant.

The moment the blade danced, the slowly falling rain on its trajectory was evaporated, and mist wrapped around the blade, just like Tanjiro waving the blade to stir the sea of ​​clouds, and slashed down at the monster in front of him.

[The God of Fire Kagura, Biroten! ]

Spin and chop.

Two deformed heads flew into the air.

The boy faced the fourth monster behind him without hesitation.

【Roar! 】

The torn mouth let out a distorted roar at this moment. Seeing its three companions being killed one after another in just a few seconds, the last remaining monster seemed to become more and more violent, struggling desperately to get rid of the field released by Lily of the Valley.
