But it was obvious that no matter how hard it tried, it could not catch up with the boy's blade. Tanjiro launched a series of fierce attacks without hesitation the moment Suzuran released her domain, and at this moment he had already killed the monster in front of him.

[The God of Fire Kagura: Flame Dance! ]

The two consecutive slashes from Yuanwu completely cut the monster's body apart.

The footsteps landed.

The blade is retracted into the scabbard.

Breathing becomes steady.

Tanjiro just watched the monster in front of him dissipate into dust, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

According to past experience, after such continuous and high-intensity use of Fire God Kagura, I should be very tired.

But now, in the domain released by Miss Suzuran, Tanjiro at this moment did not feel the slightest physical exhaustion. Hmm, how to describe this? It should be the painful feeling of collapsing after strenuous exercise, but under the blessing of the power of this domain, Tanjiro felt that it was not even as good as the warm-up before exercise, and it was not even possible to make the body sweat a little.

If this kind of power could be used by the Demon Slayer Corps to fight demons...

When facing the Twelve Demon Moons, when facing the Lower Five, perhaps there wouldn't be such heavy casualties, right?

No, this request is unreasonable. Miss Suzuran herself said that she came from a world full of dangers and chaos, and she also has her own power, fighting for her ideals and beliefs.

The other party also has her own difficulties and problems. You can't bother her. Just deal with the problem at hand first.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Tanjiro carefully confirmed that the four monsters were all reduced to ashes and disappeared before he breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to the side of Suzuran and Lin Yi and continued to be carefully alert to the surrounding situation.

It seems that the other party does not intend to send more enemies?

Tanjiro looked around and did not see any new enemies appearing outside Suzuran's territory.

After they wiped out four monsters in one go, did the enemy choose to sit back and wait?

"I say, Sheriff Lester, is this the level of the person you are talking about as a baptized person?"

While Tanjiro was still thinking about this, Lin Yi beside him suddenly chuckled and then spoke.

"You just spoke so righteously, but in the end you just hid in the dark and watched your companions get killed?"

"I don't think you're that great. You still say you love the whole town. Your love is just self-deception, right?"

Lin Yi just mocked the darkness in front of him with a casual look on his face.

After he finished speaking, a rustling sound was heard in the woods, and then the tall and fat Rest, whose wounds on his face and chest had healed, appeared outside the territory of Lily of the Valley, staring at Lin Yi not far away with a gloomy face.

[You...you guys...]

Rest gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.

Why is the power of these strangers so strange? And their previous fighting ability was obviously not at this level at all. How come they suddenly became so much stronger?

They actually hid their abilities in the initial battle? !

"Good, you are indeed here, so that will be alright."

Then, Rest saw the relieved smile on Lin Yi's face, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

[What did you... do? ]

He began to realize that Lin Yi, who looked the weakest among the three, might have done something strange again.

"Nothing, I just wanted to confirm whether the enemy's attention was attracted. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suggested that Linglan turn on such a bright light to ensure that everyone can see the three of us."

"As for the question of what I did, well, do you want to guess? After all, you should know the answer soon enough."

The smile on Lin Yi's face became brighter at this moment.

Chapter 27: Hey~a dump truck?

What on earth did Lin Yi do?

At this moment, Rest's expression became more resentful.

He was obviously just an ordinary human being, but he killed a large number of his subordinates and was the first to discover the weakness of the "Baptized".

It's like a stone in the toilet, disgusting and troublesome.

He said he was going to get everyone's attention?

In other words, he has other accomplices hiding, and is he planning to do something?

No, that shouldn't be possible, right? They had checked carefully yesterday, and no strangers other than these three appeared around Black Lake Town. And to be honest, with the only road in and out destroyed by a mudslide and other places full of cliffs, it would be impossible for ordinary people to enter and leave the town.

But... these guys are not normal people.

If they really have helpers hiding and waiting for an opportunity.

So he is now, so they are now...

"Well, it seems that my guess was correct. Your attention is now completely focused on us."

Lin Yi looked at the expression on Rest's face calmly, nodded slightly and spoke, as if he knew what the other person was thinking directly from his expression.

[Heh, do you think you know everything? ]

Rest's expression became even uglier, but he still spoke to Lin Yi with a sneer.

"I still know some general things, for example, your number is not that large. Before, I was about 40% sure, but after you appeared and behaved like this, I can basically say I am 80% sure."

Lin Yi continued to speak calmly.

The blue light gradually dissipated at this moment, the fox fire on the scepter in Lily of the Valley's hand dimmed, and the illusory tail behind her also disappeared.

The magical power of the domain had obviously reached its sustainable limit, so the surrounding environment quickly returned to dimness at this moment.

However, Lin Yi did not react to this. He just continued to look at Rest in the darkness ahead and spoke.

"A ceremony that happens every seventy years to select seven people to offer sacrifices."

"Each ceremony lasts for quite a few days, and the number of days varies, so the number of casualties also varies."

"This is what I learned from Mr. Bob, and it is very important to me."

"After all, the seventy years, seven days, seven sacrifices and other characteristics have shown that you pay a lot of attention to certain numerical characteristics. However, the duration of the sacrifice phase and the number of people killed do not follow a unified pattern, but instead appear to be chaotic."

"If you want to explain this reasonably, either you are not united enough, or you are short of manpower, and your sacrifice procedure is not stable enough."

"I have considered the issue of internal unity, but since this ritual has been able to take place six times and last for more than four hundred years, it proves that the organization that runs this ritual is relatively stable."

"So I guess you don't have enough manpower to carry out this sacrificial procedure? The number of your so-called baptized people shouldn't be that large, right? Have the five things we've killed been a significant loss to you?"

There was no response from the other party.

Rest probably realized that no matter what reaction he gave, Lin Yi might interpret it as some clue, so he simply retreated without saying a word, retreating into the darkness to make sure that the other party could not see or hear him, and then completely ignored the other party.

It didn't matter what tricks Lin Yi had up his sleeve. He had taken him to different townspeople's homes to inquire about the situation, just to get those townspeople who were more stubborn and rejected outsiders to get closer to him. Although his initial plan was to create one or two deaths of townspeople and put the blame on them, now, relying on the surveillance of a few townspeople who supported him, he shouldn't have to worry about encountering any problems in the town.

And as long as there is no problem in the town, then he can...well, what's that sound?

It seemed like I heard something not very good.

A roaring, galloping sound.

Is that the sound of horses?!

Rest turned his head and saw a carriage speeding past on the forest road not far away.

That carriage, that was Rest's own carriage.

But why...

"I stole your key. Sorry, it just came so easy."

The next moment, Lin Yi's voice sounded from not far away, causing Rest's face to suddenly darken.

But immediately afterwards, a fox fire suddenly fell, and Tanjiro rushed in front of Rest, causing the fat man to frown and quickly avoid it.

The direction of the carriage was towards the mayor's house.

Have they discovered it?

However, there was only one person in that carriage, Old Bob? What could an ordinary human being do while driving a carriage?

The only ones who can really threaten their life and death here are these two little brats.

As Rest was thinking this, he saw flames coming out of the carriage.

"To be honest, I should actually thank you, Mr. Lester. If you hadn't taken me out for such a long walk, I wouldn't have been able to find the warehouse in town where kerosene and straw were stored. I wouldn't have been able to ask Mr. Bob to find a way to get the carriage and oil after we attracted your attention, so that I could give you this great gift."

Lin Yi's voice had a hint of evil humor at this moment.

The flames suddenly exploded, enveloping the entire carriage into a fireball.

The horse was frightened at this moment and ran even harder, while Old Bob had already jumped out of the car and rolled on the muddy road. Then, the horse ran straight towards the mayor's villa, which was already vaguely visible in the forest not far away.

Boom!

The flames spread in an instant, covering the building in the rain.

The flames ignited by kerosene and kerosene-soaked straw could not be extinguished by water, and they burned fiercely, rushing towards the tall house of the mayor in the darkness. Amid the loud crash, the walls of the mayor's house, which were similar to those of the town, were built with wooden boards and stones, and were directly knocked through by the rolling carriages, and the flames spread into the building, creating a bright world in this dark world.

This tactic can be called the dump truck tactic, although it is a bit of a pity that it is not a real dump truck.

Looking at the distorted expression on Rest's face not far away, Lin Yi silently complained in his heart.

Chapter 28: Hey~Mansion?

The burning flames illuminated the dark rainy night and also illuminated Rest's extremely ugly face.

In the darkness, it seemed that something had been stirring, hiding in the lightless darkness. But after the flames started burning, those wriggling things began to retreat, retreating into the darkness that could not be reached by the bright light and scorching temperature.

"Unexpectedly..."

Rest, who had not anticipated this development at all, could not help but whisper through gritted teeth.

[Water Breathing——]

The young man clenched the Sun Blade in his hand and rushed forward without hesitation the next moment.

[Seventh Type-Shizuku Wave Stab! ]

The sharp blade rushed forward, carrying with it the surging tide.

Taking advantage of the moment when Rest was distracted, Tanjiro launched the attack without any hesitation, aiming directly at the opponent's head.

The cold fox fire attacked the boy's side almost immediately. Suzuran's reaction was slightly slower than Tanjiro's, but she also launched an attack the moment the explosion occurred and Rest was distracted.

He didn't intend to give him any chance to react and just wanted to kill him straight away.

These damn strangers...

【Get out of here! 】

A black object came out from Rest's chest.

It was a limb, a dry, twisted, deformed and ugly limb.

This limb suddenly surged out from Rest's fat body and collided with Tanjiro's thrusting blade, and a violent shaking sound was heard in an instant.

"Well!"

Under the huge recoil force, Tanjiro took a few steps back and was unable to continue the pursuit.

However, when Lily of the Valley's fox fire hit Rest, it did not achieve the same effective results as when it attacked the monsters before.

[My baptism was not yet complete, but it was interrupted because of you]

[However, now it seems that this seems to be more suitable for the current situation]

With a cold snort, Rest turned around and retreated into the darkness without hesitation.

"Are you planning on running away?"

Tanjiro frowned as he gripped the Nichirin Sword tightly.

[Right now, I have more important things to do than dealing with you strangers]

Rest's cold snort sounded from the darkness, and his voice could be heard gradually fading away, obviously heading towards the mayor's house that was hit by the carriage.

"Mr. Lin Yi, let's go over there too!"

Tanjiro said as he ran towards a house not far away where half of it was already on fire.

Lin Yi and Ling Lan followed behind and ran forward together. In the heavy rain, they arrived at the building in the forest in no time. It was a large mansion that looked at least five stories high, built with wooden boards and stone bricks, and looked a bit old.
