The wrong person on the ground, the opening sword soul template

Chapter 272 The Power of Ghosts and Gods

Liang Yue also noticed that the gravity around him was constantly changing, but his strength had long been sufficient to overcome gravity.

This ghost can only affect the gravity inside the house and change the overall structure of the house.

So Liang Yue's feet erupted with the power of the sword, and then he moved at high speed toward his opponent, gripping the Nichirin Blade.

A massive flow of water appeared all around, and Liang Yue guided this flow with her Nichirin Blade, instantly annihilating the demon.

He remembered that this ghost seemed to have no appreciation for his love of drumming, and that he had some kind of tragic past.

However, none of this concerns Liang Yue; after all, the other party is a ghost who has devoured many people.

Therefore, he won't act like Tanjiro, who would comfort the other person and then kill them.

Liang Yue, on the other hand, would take direct action.

Then Liang Yue and her group began to clean up the remaining ghosts throughout the house.

When everything was over, Inosuke Hashibira, the man wearing the rabbit-head mask, came to Tanjiro.

"Boy, hand over the ghost you're carrying! I'm going to kill it!"

Tanjiro immediately looked at the other person seriously, "No."

The impatient Inosuke drew his sword and prepared to attack, but just as he was about to strike Tanjiro, he was punched away by Liang Yue.

"Hey, what's the meaning of you just drawing your sword and attacking me when we're both Demon Slayers?"

"So you mean, we don't need a knife, right?"

Inosuke threw down his sword and lunged towards Liang Yue.

"I really hope you can clearly see the gap in strength between us."

Liang Yue sighed, then pressed her right thumb down on her index finger, and then her right index finger popped out from under her thumb, hitting Inosuke on the forehead.

Inosuke flew several meters into the air before crashing to the ground. The pig-head mask fell off, revealing Inosuke's face, which was even more delicate and beautiful than a woman's.

Then she fainted in mid-air and fell to the ground.

Zenitsu Agatsuma stared in shock at the scene. "A single flick on the head sent someone flying? That's ridiculous!"

Seeing Inosuke faint, Tanjiro finally breathed a sigh of relief after finding that the other man was unharmed.

Not long after Inosuke woke up, he joined the work in Yamagoro amidst Liang Yue's mockery.

They carried out all the human corpses that had died in the house and buried them.

Afterwards, the group rested nearby. When it got dark, the crows came again to remind them to move on.

This time, Liang Yue and the others arrived at a mansion that was providing free assistance to the Demon Slayer Corps.

They rested there for two more days, and then, guided by the crows, headed to the next location.

Just as everyone was about to reach their destination, Zenitsu Agatsuma looked at them with a serious expression.

"Everyone, stop! It's extremely dangerous here! Let's go back!"

Once again, she backed down. Liang Yue was speechless. "Since you're so scared, you can go back by yourself."

"No, if I go back like this, my master will scold me to death."

"What if someone you care about gets into danger in the future? You're such a coward, you might just have to watch them die while you cry your eyes out?"

Liang Yue's words stunned Tsumasa Zenitsu, and then a torrent of tears streamed down his face.

"Liang Yue, you absolutely mustn't do that kind of thing."

Afterwards, Liang Yue and the others arrived near Mount Natagumo, where a member of the Demon Slayer Corps from Mount Mutant Scale ran towards them.

"Help!"

The other person's cries for help attracted Tanjiro and the others' attention, and then they saw the member fly backwards.

Liang Yue quickly approached her opponent and slashed her weapon behind him.

His blade touched the hidden spider silk and then easily cut it.

The Demon Slayer Corps members who had been being pulled into the air fell to the ground.

From his body, Liang Yue and the others discovered the reason for the incident: a special ghost had appeared here.

It can even manipulate members of the Demon Slayer Corps to kill each other.

It was because of Liang Yue that they discovered that it was actually the ghost's spider silk that was controlling everything.

"Someone else is coming!"

Liang Yue noticed that many more members of the Demon Slayer Corps were approaching from a distance, but they were also being controlled by spider silk and were attacking Liang Yue and the others.

“These guys are also controlled by spider silk. Try slashing at their heads, backs, or fronts.”

Upon hearing Liang Yue's reminder, Tanjiro and Inosuke immediately set off.

Tanjiro noticed many small spiders appearing around him. "Everyone, if you have any abilities that can sense the location of demons, please use them!"

Inosuke immediately activated the Breath of the Beast, and just as everyone was about to set off, demons appeared one by one from the forest.

Above the dense forest, a ghost appeared, stepping on spider silk, and came before the group.

It looked indifferently at the crowd on the ground, but hadn't had a chance to say anything yet.

Liang Yue had already leaped into the air, the blade in her hand slashing towards the other person's neck.

He killed him with a single strike.

Tanjiro only had time to cry out in surprise before the demon was slain.

Tanjiro quickly took out a throwing knife from his pocket and stabbed it into the collapsing corpse that had fallen to the ground.

After the throwing knife pierced the demon's body, blood immediately flowed into the inside of the hilt through the hollow chamber of the blade.

The remaining ghosts that appeared were also easily dealt with by Liang Yue.

By the time the two pillars arrived to provide support, everything around them was already in the process of cleaning up.

Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka and Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho curiously examined Liang Yue and the box on Tanjiro's back.

"Young man, there's a ghostly aura emanating from the box on your back!"

Shinobu Kocho pointed to the box behind Tanjiro.

To kill Muzan, you must first lure him out, and to lure him out, you need bait.

Therefore, Liang Yue currently needs to meet the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Only by cooperating with the other side can Muzan be lured out.

Liang Yue looked at the water column, "She has never eaten people, and neither have I."

But don't you need this kind of power? As long as it doesn't involve cannibalism and can replenish your fighting strength, I think you should seriously consider it."

The water column and the insect column stared at each other in bewilderment.

The Insect Pillar, Shinobu Kocho, smiled as she exchanged a knowing look with the Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka: "This is a real headache."

Liang Yue revealed her pale ghost hand in front of the two opponents; it was a peculiar power completely different from that of ordinary ghosts.

It seems to possess a power that can influence the soul.

"It seems we must discuss this with the lord."

After that, Tanjiro and Liang Yue had their wrists tied, their eyes blindfolded, and were carried around by others.

In order to show her sincerity, Liang Yue tied her own hands and feet.

As the bright sunlight shone down, Liang Yue and Tanjiro appeared at the Ubuyashiki residence.

Then several Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps appeared in front of Liang Yue and her companion.

The man with gold and red hair is the Flame Pillar. "Protecting the demon is clearly a violation of the squad rules. Kill him on the spot! He should be beheaded along with the demon!"

Next to the Flame Pillar is the Sound Pillar, who currently has long, pale hair. "In that case, let me make my move."

Liang Yue surveyed the group. If they couldn't reach an agreement here, then so be it. He would help Tanjiro escape later, and then find an opportunity to lure Muzan out and defeat him.

If that still doesn't work, then wait until he returns to the Third Awakening of the Earthly Mistake before dragging him out again.

With that level of strength, Muzan could easily find and kill him even if he were hiding deep underground.

"Why don't we let the child explain first?"

The insect pillar's words clearly changed the surrounding atmosphere.

Tanjiro said excitedly, "That demon is my sister. She was attacked when I left home."

When I returned, everyone was dead. My sister, though a ghost, never ate anyone. She will never, ever, ever harm anyone!

At that moment, the Wind Pillar arrived in front of everyone with Nezuko's box.

He then took out a Nichirin Blade and stabbed it into the box.

"stop!"

Under Tanjiro's horrified gaze, he ran towards the Wind Pillar with his hands bound, enduring the immense pain in his body.

Liang Yue broke free of the ropes in an instant and snorted coldly.

"Humph!"

The sword energy, released unexpectedly, spread instantly from Liang Yue's body and struck the wind pillar's brain.

In just a moment, Fengzhu felt unbearable pain all over his body, and then he knelt down with blood flowing from his seven orifices.

Then he collapsed to the ground, looking like a wilted, drowned dog.

Liang Yue loosened her joints and said, "Ghosts are also divided into good and evil. If you kill even ghosts that have never eaten humans..."

So how about we try slaughtering some normal humans who haven't broken the law?

"What are you talking about?"

The snake pillar, leaning against the tree trunk, glared at Liang Yue, "You actually dared to harm a pillar? I think you're really audacious."

The conflict escalated further. Liang Yue approached the Wind Pillar step by step, picked up the box containing Nezuko, and placed it next to Tanjiro.

Then she untied Tanjiro's ropes.

"I'm here to discuss cooperation, everyone."

"Our lord has arrived!"

The other pillars, who were originally about to take action, immediately knelt down and bowed.

However, Liang Yue did not move and remained standing.

The snake pillar next to her reached out to grab Liang Yue, but Liang Yue flicked it on the head from a distance.

Then the Serpent Pillar felt a huge shockwave in front of him, and he was sent flying more than ten meters into the air.

This hurricane wasn't very damaging; it just pushed the snake pillar high into the air.

"I hope you can see the difference in strength between us. If I wanted to kill, everyone here could survive."

Liang Yue lifted her shirt, exposing her pale, ghostly hand to the view of those around her.

"Are you a ghost?"

"You can call me the Demon Swordsman, but I have nothing to do with that guy Muzan Kibutsuji."

This power comes from spirits and deities.

"spirits?"

The shockwave from just a finger could send a person flying that high, and even the Serpent Pillar couldn't react in time.

Just how incredible is this level of physical fitness?

One punch from that punch would be enough to blow up a building!
Feng Zhu glared at Liang Yue, "Why can ghosts be in the sunlight?"

"I'm sorry, Tanjiro, Nezuko, and this Liang Yue are all demon swordsmen that I acknowledge."

I'm so sorry for causing so much conflict.

The tense situation had disappeared, but these pillars were clearly not convinced.

Flame Pillar shouted, "I strongly oppose it!"

"I have a way to kill Muzan, so shut up if you're against it!"

Liang Yue looked at everyone present and said, "To be honest, haven't you Pillars been dreaming of killing Muzan all these years?"

"Just cooperate with me!"

Afterwards, Sakonji Urokodaki's letter was read aloud by the Lord's children. It roughly meant that if Nezuko ate people, Sakonji, Tanjiro, and the Water Pillars would all commit seppuku to atone for their sins.

Liang Yue's gaze swept over the crowd, "You are all too weak. You don't cooperate with me but still want to kill Muzan?"
"I have a way to make you stronger, don't you really want to try?"

Considering the terrifying power Liang Yue had just displayed, no one doubted her strength.

However, vigilance remains.

After all, this was only the first time the two sides had met, and it would be very difficult to convince these people with just empty words.

"I believe."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, acknowledged Ryougi.

"Liang Yue, he is our Demon Slayer Corps' new hope. Tanjiro, on the other hand, was assassinated by a demon sent by Muzan."

Therefore, Muzan must be very concerned about something about Tanjiro.

Liang Yue looked at Tanjiro, "The Breath of the Day, once mastered to a high level, can pose a threat to Muzan."

However, I possess a swordsmanship even more powerful than the Breath of the Sun. Would you like to learn it?

"Eh?"

The others looked at Liang Yue in surprise, anticipating what she would say next.

"Of course, the success of this swordsmanship still depends on your comprehension."

"After all that arguing, you're now willing to teach everyone swordsmanship. Thank you, Liang Yue."

Yaozai bowed to Liang Yue.

Liang Yue briefly demonstrated the Reverse Ghost Sword Technique. The Reverse Ghost Sword Technique that Liang Yue was using now was obviously more profound, but the core remained unchanged.

"The movements are clearly visible, so why can they unleash such astonishing sword energy?"

In order to fight Muzan, these Pillars naturally crave power and to become stronger.

However, they were also well aware of the gap between themselves and the Twelve Demon Moons, especially the Upper Moon.

After Liang Yue displayed overwhelming power, even if these pillars were unwilling to admit it, they had no choice but to change their minds.

Indeed, only those with power can kill Muzan.

Therefore, Liang Yue is an indispensable and necessary combat force!
Tanjiro and Nezuko were settled into resting quarters, while Liang Yue began a meeting with the Pillars.

He discussed his plan with everyone, and then began to summon all the Demon Slayer Corps members back to headquarters for intensive training.

In exchange for teaching the Pillars the Reverse Sword Technique, he also learned their breathing techniques.

Compared to the pseudo-breathing technique that Kazuhiro created by combining his memory and movements with his own Reverse Oni Sword Technique, the original breathing technique was clearly more beneficial to his understanding of swordsmanship.

The many Pillars recalled the Hidden Demon Sword Technique that Liang Yue had demonstrated, and then began to instruct the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen who were returning to headquarters from various places.

Ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members are positioned to weaken the low-level demons around Muzan and conserve the stamina of the Pillars.

Of course, if possible, the Pillars and everyone present hoped that the Demon Slayer Corps could minimize casualties.

Therefore, each pillar is doing its best to teach the swordsmen and strive to improve their overall strength.
