Infinity: The main god space starting from Naruto

Chapter 221 Sacrifice
At this time, the entire base was illuminated by flames, and Tanjiro became more and more anxious. At this time, only the Water Pillar and the Sound Pillar were in the base, and the others had all gone to perform their missions.

Suddenly, a shrill scream pierced the night sky. A hidden figure jumped out from the bushes and staggered forward.

Behind him, a figure walked out slowly. It was a withered corpse wearing a tattered Demon Slayer Corps uniform, with a rusty Nichirin sword hanging around its waist.

"Get away!"

A figure flashed out from the side. Tanjiro's voice rang out in the night sky.

"Qiang!"

The corpse-born drew out the Sun Wheel Sword from his waist, the blades collided, sparks flew.

Tanjiro turned his wrist and the blade drew an arc.

The corpse's head fell off, his body shook a few times, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

"Pfft!"

Tanjiro sheathed his sword and whispered, "I'm sorry, senpai."

This is not the first time we have seen a swordsman being resurrected by Dio.

But every time he saw his former companions become like this, an irrepressible anger would surge in his heart.

"Thank you, Lord Flame Pillar, for saving me!" The hermit knelt on one knee, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Where is the lord?" Tanjiro interrupted, his voice filled with anxiety.

"Still in the base." Yin raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the brightest fire. "The other pillars are evacuating the others."

"I understand." Tanjiro jumped onto the roof before he could finish.

He stood on the roof and looked around. The fire illuminated half of the sky red. Screams and beast-like roars could be heard from the thick smoke from time to time.

Tanjiro's heart was pounding and sweat was dripping down his forehead.

He has already let Mr. Purgatory escape, and he must not let anything happen to the lord again!
He exerted force with his feet, and his whole body leaped between the rooftops like a black shadow.

Soon, the outline of the meeting hall came into view.

Tanjiro looked around carefully, but found no trace of the enemy yet.

"It seems we haven't reached that place yet." Tanjiro had just breathed a sigh of relief when a sharp whistle came from the sky.

Tanjiro looked up suddenly, his pupils shrinking. Under the moonlight, a huge shell streaked across the night sky, dragging a long tail of fire straight towards the meeting room.

"boom!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, the roof of the meeting room was blown off in an instant, debris flew everywhere, and a scorching hot air wave hit us in the face.

Tanjiro's heart almost stopped beating, and he jumped down without hesitation.
"boom!"

He kicked open the deformed door and thick smoke immediately rushed into his lungs, choking him and causing him to cough repeatedly.

But he didn't care about that and immediately closed his eyes, focusing on the smell.

Amid the smell of smoke and gunpowder, he caught a glimpse of a familiar aroma - it was the incense that his lord often used.

"over there!"

Tanjiro drew out the Nichirin Sword, and the blade swept across, and the collapsed beam broke with a sound.

In the firelight, he finally saw Ubuyashiki Yoya.

The lord fell under a huge beam, with his lower body completely crushed.

"My lord!" Tanjiro stepped forward quickly, ready to move the beam away.

"No need, Tanjiro." Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's voice was still gentle, but it was weak. "My legs are already..."

"How can that be possible!" Tanjiro said anxiously, "The enemy is coming soon."

"Listen to me, Tanjiro." Ubuyashiki Yoya raised his hand and motioned him to stop. "Their target is me. As long as I'm alive, they won't give up. The most important thing now is to protect others."

He pulled out a jade pendant inlaid with wisteria patterns from his bosom and handed it to Tanjiro: "This is the token of the Ubuyashiki family. With it, we can mobilize our forces and resources across the country."

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, another shell fell, and more debris fell from the ceiling. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the air became hotter and hotter.

"Lord! Please" Tanjiro's voice was already tearful. He wanted to say something, but Ubuyashiki Yoshiya raised his hand to stop him.

"This is an order." Ubuyashiki Yoya's tone suddenly became serious, "As the Flame Pillar, you must obey."

Tanjiro clenched the jade pendant tightly, tears welling up in his eyes: "Yes, sir!"

Tanjiro stood up and held the jade pendant tightly. The moment he turned around,
The voice of Ubuyashiki Yoshiya came from behind: "I hope you can see a world without ghosts."

"boom!"

The entire meeting hall collapsed completely with a loud bang.

Tanjiro gritted his teeth and clenched the jade pendant in his hand.
Now is not the time to be sad, there are more people who need him to save!

Suddenly, a crow flew overhead and made a rapid cry: "Tanjiro! Tanjiro! Follow me!"

Following the crow's guidance, Tanjiro soon arrived at the Butterfly House, where the courtyard was crowded with wounded people.

Kanao was busy bandaging the wound of a wounded man: "Tanjiro!"

"Master Flame Pillar!" Several soldiers saw his figure and seemed to see hope. "What should we do now?"

Tanjiro looked around and quickly assessed the situation. He could smell gunpowder and blood in the distance, and the enemy was approaching.

"Everyone who can walk, follow me immediately!" Tanjiro looked around, "The seriously injured are being carried on stretchers. The enemy is mainly in the south and east. Let's break out to the west!"

The team organized itself quickly, with the medical team in the middle, taking care of the wounded, and Tanjiro at the front, alert to any movements around him.

"Swish!" A bullet flew past Tanjiro's ear.

Several soldiers rushed out from the darkness with rifles and fired wildly.

Tanjiro drew his sword, and the red blade light drew an arc in the night.

"Qiang! Qiang!"

The bullet fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Tanjiro took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, his blade swept past, and several rifles broke.

Before the soldiers could react, they were knocked to the ground by the back of his knife.

These soldiers were just following orders, and Tanjiro was unwilling to kill ordinary people.

"Go this way!" A crow flew overhead, making a quick cry.

Gradually, two figures appeared in the field of vision. Giyu Tomioka and Tengen Uzui were leading a large group of survivors approaching this side.

"Tanjiro!" Tomioka Giyu's voice was still calm, but his brows were furrowed. "Everyone in the base is already here."

"Where is the lord?" Uzui Tengen walked forward quickly. His clothes were a little torn, obviously he had experienced a fierce battle.

"I-I couldn't." Tanjiro's voice was choked with sobs, and he held the jade pendant tightly in his hand.

Tomioka Giyuu and Uzui Tengen's faces instantly became extremely solemn. They looked at each other and saw sadness in each other's eyes.

"We'll talk about this later." Giyu Tomioka gritted his teeth and said, "The most important thing now is to protect the remaining people." He turned to the team behind him.

"The formation is divided into three layers. Tanjiro, Tengen and I will guard the outer circle, the middle circle is the combat-capable soldiers, and the inner circle will escort the wounded." "According to the Lord's arrangement, we have secret bases in various places." Tomioka Giyuu said, looking at the jade pendant in Tanjiro's hand, "As long as we can leave here, we will have a chance to regroup."

“That’s right.” Uzui Tengen’s voice was rarely serious. “The existence of the Demon Slayer Corps has never relied on one place. As long as there are still people fighting, we will never disappear.”

"Let's go." Tomioka Giyuu drew out his Nichirin Sword, "Remember, no matter what happens, staying alive is the most important thing."

Everyone quickly lined up according to his arrangement. Tomioka Giyuu walked in the front, with Tanjiro and Uzui Tengen on both sides.

A zombie stumbled out from the bushes.

"Leave it to me." Uzui Tengen's eyes flashed, and he rushed out like lightning.

The corpse-man swung the knife in his hand, and Uzui Tengen dodged it easily. The two knives crossed, and the corpse-man's head fell off.

In this way, the team advanced carefully all the way, and any sporadic enemies they encountered were quickly dealt with.

As they were about to leave the base, everyone gradually relaxed.

"boom!"

A gunshot echoed in the forest. Uzui Tengen acted like lightning and the bullet was accurately split in two, falling to the ground with a clang.

"There's an ambush!" Uzui Tengen shouted, "Everyone, keep your formation!"

Before he finished speaking, a large number of soldiers suddenly emerged from the surrounding bushes, and the muzzles of their rifles shone coldly in the moonlight. In a blink of an eye, the entire team was surrounded.

A man dressed in a general's uniform walked out of the line. His sinister face could be seen clearly in the moonlight: "Where do you want to escape to, you bunch of rebels?"

"General." Tanjiro stepped forward and said, "We have been killing evil spirits for this country. Why are you pointing the knife at us?"

"Humph!" The general sneered, "Killing evil spirits? How ridiculous. You guys privately set up armed forces and secretly trained assassins with the intention of rebellion. Today, I will make you pay for your crimes!"

"You've been fooled!" Tanjiro stepped forward, "It's Dio"

"Shut up!" The general suddenly drew out his long sword, the blade pointed directly at Tanjiro, "I only know that His Majesty has ordered the execution of you rebels. Tonight, no one will leave alive!"

He raised his arms high: "Ready!"

The sound of bolts being pulled in unison came from the dense forest, and hundreds of guns were pointed at the center of the team. In the light of the fire, a ferocious smile appeared on the general's face: "Fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was a burst of dense gunfire, and hundreds of bullets poured down like a rainstorm.

"The breath of water..."

"Breathing of Sound..."

"The God of Fire, Kagura..."

Three voices rang out at the same time. As the knife flashed, bullets hit the knife, making crisp metallic sounds and falling to the ground one after another.

"Break out over there!" Tomioka Giyuu shouted while blocking bullets, "Tanjiro, you take charge of the left wing! Tengen, you guard the right wing!"

"Fire God Kagura·First Form·Yokatu!" Tanjiro suddenly exerted force on his feet and shot out like an arrow.

"Dang!" The crisp sound of metal breaking came one after another. The barrels of more than a dozen rifles broke with the sound, and gunpowder spilled all over the ground.

The soldiers stared at the broken guns in their hands in amazement. Before they could react, the back of a knife had already hit them lightly on the back of their necks.

The three pillars led the team to rush towards the weakest point of the encirclement. Wherever they passed, the soldiers fell down like wheat being cut.

Gradually, more and more soldiers fell down. The remaining soldiers watched their companions fall one by one, fear flashed in their eyes, and they retreated involuntarily.

"Stop right there!" The general suddenly drew out the saber from his waist and chopped off the head of a deserter. His voice was filled with murderous intent: "Anyone who dares to retreat will be executed immediately!"

The soldiers paused, hesitating. A fierce look flashed in the general's eyes: "Look carefully! These traitors don't dare to kill! Kill one person and you will be promoted immediately!"

This sentence seemed to turn on the soldiers. Those soldiers who had been shrinking back just now suddenly had red eyes.

"Kill!" the soldiers roared, raising the bayonets on their rifles and charging forward madly.

Just then, a sharp whistle pierced the night sky.

"boom!"

Fires lit up in the distance, and several shells, trailing long trails of fire, flew towards the center of the team.

"Leave it to me!" Tomioka Giyu jumped up with all his strength. He adjusted his posture in the air and held the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands.

"Breath of Water·Shape of Four·Tide of Strike!"

Under the moonlight, countless streams of water poured down like waterfalls, cutting down all the shells.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions sounded, and the air was turbulent and dust was flying.

Giyu Tomioka landed steadily, but the hand holding the knife had begun to feel numb. Even he could not bear to block such a huge impact force continuously.

"Tsk." Uzui Tengen frowned, looking at the enemies pouring in from all sides, "We can't go on like this, the enemy is just endless."

His eyes fell on the general commanding from a distance, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Capture the leader first!"

He exerted force with his legs and flew out like a cannonball.

In mid-air, Uzui Tengen raised his right hand, and a large number of explosive balls drew silver streaks under the moonlight.

"The breath of sound, the shape of four, the sound of the sound is endless!"

The two swords crossed in the air, and the blades hit each exploding ball accurately.

"boom!"

Amid the deafening explosion, a large amount of smoke instantly covered the battlefield.

A silver light shot out from the smoke. Uzui Tengen's figure was as fast as lightning, and he went straight to the general position.

"What?!" The general's pupils suddenly shrank. He had just raised the saber in his hand when the back of his neck was pressed against the cold blade.

"Everyone, lay down your weapons!" Uzui Tengen's voice echoed in the night sky, "Otherwise, your general will lose his head!"

The soldiers looked at each other and dropped their weapons.

Uzui Tengen raised his lips slightly: "That's right."

At this moment, a strange smell entered Tanjiro's nose.

This smell was previously masked by the strong smell of gunpowder, but now it became extremely clear - it was a decadent and inhuman smell.

Tanjiro's pupils suddenly shrank: "No! Mr. Uzui, hurry up"

"Pfft!"

The general's back suddenly exploded, pieces of flesh and blood rolled out, and more than a dozen rusty blades flew out of his body.

"What?!" Uzui Tengen's pupils suddenly shrank, and it was too late to retreat. Blood splattered and his chest was pierced in an instant.

"Mr. Ujou!" Tanjiro's teeth cracked.

At this time, the general's body began to twist and deform, and something was wriggling under his skin.

He turned his head and a ferocious smile appeared on his face: "Do you think I am still a human being?"
