Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 168 Chopping melons and vegetables
At this moment, both the girl at his feet and the other two Demon Slayer Corps members had fainted from the pain.

Lin Yu first used his red hand to heal the injury, then switched to his blue hand to soothe the girl's tormented spirit.

After doing all this, the girl's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, her previously unstable breathing became calm, and she fell into a peaceful and tranquil sleep.

Afterwards, Lin Yu used the same method to treat the injuries of the other two Demon Slayer Corps members.

During this process, Tanjiro and the boar-headed boy Inosuke were not idle either. The former picked up a Nichirin Blade from the ground and together with the latter, they were on alert for possible attacks from their surroundings.

While treating the wounded, Lin Yu casually asked, "Young man, I'm curious, why didn't you help when those three kids were begging for their lives?"

"..."

Tanjiro was taken aback by these words, then remained silent for a moment before saying softly, "Because not wanting to live doesn't mean you can't live."

"Humans are fickle creatures, their thoughts are changing every moment. I believe that when he said those words, he was indeed prepared to die, but... what if he changes his mind in the future?"

Lin Yu glanced at him, then asked with interest, "Just because of that?"

Tanjiro hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly, "It should be more than that, but I'm not good with words and can't say it. I only know that if I had to do it all over again, I would still make the same choice."

"Because only by surviving will they have the chance to change their minds!"

As he spoke, Tanjiro's expression grew increasingly resolute.

Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself that this little guy truly deserves to be the protagonist of a classic shonen manga; his gentle yet determined personality makes it easy for him to win the favor of others.

Thinking of this, he stood up and said with a smile, "Young man, I admire your kindness, but as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, being too soft-hearted is not a good thing."

"With me saving the day this time, you definitely made the right choice."

"I hope that next time I'm not around, you can still manage to have the best of both worlds..."

With that, he strode forward, holding his Nichirin Blade, and headed into the depths of the dense forest.

Tanjiro was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

Lin Yu said without turning his head, "The three little ones are all fine, they just need to sleep for a while. If you don't want to leave them behind, you'd better carry them out quickly."

"As for the rest, let's leave it to the reliable adults!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu's body shone with golden light, blocking the sharp spikes that were hurtling towards him from above.

A headless body, standing two meters tall, descended from the sky under the control of spider silk. Its two strong arms transformed into keratinous spikes, launching a fierce and relentless attack on Lin Yu.

"Clang clang clang!"

The sharp, hard spikes clashed violently with the amber-like golden light.

Just by looking at the sparks that burst forth and the whistling wind, one can imagine how powerful the opponent is.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the spider silk squeezed the power out of this strong body, the golden light on Lin Yu's body remained completely still, without even a ripple.

"laugh--"

In the next instant, the dazzling blade light bloomed like petals falling from the sky.

Lin Yu flicked his long sword, letting it hang at his side, and strolled leisurely past the headless body.

In the instant they brushed past each other, the headless body burst into countless blood flowers, and countless wounds broke open like a spider web, splitting the body into hundreds of pieces.

Blood and severed limbs gushed down, leaving Tanjiro and Inosuke both stunned.

The latter snapped out of his daze and stared at Lin Yu's retreating figure with fervent eyes.

"So strong!"

"..."

Tanjiro also came to his senses, glanced at Fang Linyu's back, then at the three sleeping people beside him, suddenly gritted his teeth, picked up one of them, and turned to Inosuke, saying:

"Quick, take them with you, let's catch up!"

Inosuke's eyes widened: "Huh?"

At the same time, Lin Yu moved forward at a pace that appeared slow but was actually fast, covering ten meters with each step.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from their sight and arrived in front of the evil spirit that was controlling the corpses behind the scenes.

Upon seeing the spider demon sitting on the rock ahead, its body pale with red spots on its skin and its appearance like that of a young girl, Lin Yu couldn't help but stop and recall the relevant plot.

If he remembered correctly, the spider demon family of Mount Natagumo was actually a group ruled by Rui, the fifth of the twelve demon moons.

The members are not related by blood at all; they only possess the Blood Demon Art, which is a spider-like ability, because they share each other's blood.

The spider ghost in front of me was originally just a young girl ghost. Although she played the role of a mother, she had no status in the family. In addition, she was timid and did not do things according to her wishes, so she was often subjected to domestic violence by her "father" and lived a life full of fear.

At this moment, the spider mother, who looked like a young girl, was completely unaware of Lin Yu's arrival.

She was trembling all over, staring in terror at the broken spider silk at her fingertips.

"They've been killed...they've been killed!"

“That puppet was clearly the fastest and strongest, how could it be… In the end, it’s all because Lei came and threatened me. If it weren’t for that, why would I be in such a hurry…” At this point, the spider mother suddenly paused, then abruptly raised her head, staring at Lin Yu in front of her in horror.

"When—when?!"

At this moment, Lin Yu was getting stronger every second. A terrifying amount of Qi surged within his body, causing the boy's body to swell slightly, increasing his height by at least three or four centimeters.

Of course, the changes in appearance are merely the effect of energy overflow.

In terms of the most basic cultivation of life force, Lin Yu has far surpassed the old Celestial Master, especially in his mental cultivation, which has reached the point where he can influence matter with his spiritual power, and can even vaguely perceive the Spider Mother's thoughts.

Perhaps triggered by fear, Lin Yu saw scenes of her being abused by her so-called 'family'.

Violent beatings, gouging out eyes, severing arms... all sorts of explicit images flashed through her mind, making Lin Yu's face show pity, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"How pitiful! Life must be unbearable like that."

"..."

The spider mother, who looked like a young girl, was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that the monster who had tortured and killed her strongest puppet would be so gentle.

Lin Yu, holding the Nichirin Blade, took a step forward and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, you'll be free soon!"

The spider mother was startled again.

The next second, a bright, full moon rose from the dense forest ahead, filling her entire field of vision...

"Pfft-"

Blood gushed forth as the spider mother's body was instantly crushed by a halo of light resembling the full moon.

No matter how pitiful she is, she is still a ghost who has slaughtered countless humans. Lin Yu cannot let her go. At most, he will make sure she suffers less when he attacks her...

"Shh-"

Lin Yu flicked his longsword, scattering a line of blood on the ground. Then, glancing at the bursting blood mist beside him, he spread his fingers and drew out thin streams of blood from the mist, condensing them into a drop of blood in his palm.

"Is this the blood of the Twelve Demon Moons?"

Lin Yu examined the blood droplet in his palm and said disdainfully, "Too weak!"

Even so, Lin Yu still didn't throw away the drop of blood. After all, this thing could transform humans into living ghosts, so it still had some research value.

However, compared to the bloodshed, he was more interested in the final boss, Kibutsuji Muzan.

Thinking of this, he immediately closed his eyes and, following the connection of blood, sensed the other spider demons in the mountains and forests.

The strongest of them all was undoubtedly Lei himself. The remaining three were too weak, and given Lin Yu's level of expertise, it was difficult for him to distinguish the differences between them.

"Then let's wipe them all out!"

Lin Yu calmly opened his eyes. His full head of black hair began to turn white, and his skin became crystal clear, as if it had changed from a solid to a liquid, rippling with milky white waves and waves.

The third level of reverse birth!

In just a few seconds, Lin Yu's entire body transformed into Qi, his feet left the ground, and he floated up, hovering in the air.

His gaze swept across the area, locking onto the positions of Spider Brother, Spider Sister, and Spider Father. With a light flick of his Nichirin Blade, he unleashed three white Qi blades, each tens of meters long, which whistled as they hurtled toward the three evil spirits.

Meanwhile, Tanjiro's future brother-in-law, Zenitsu Agatsuma, was running forward in terror.

On the treetop above his head, the spider brother, with a human head and a spider body, grinned sinisterly and kept spitting out highly corrosive purple venom, forcing the humans below to flee in disarray.

"call--"

Just then, a terrifying howling sound suddenly came from above.

The spider brother, who had fallen onto the tree, was slightly startled and subconsciously turned his head to look. He saw a terrifying blade of energy piercing through the air, passing through the tree canopy and trunk without any hesitation, growing larger and larger in his eyes...

"boom!"

A loud bang startled Zenitsu, who was fleeing, and he instinctively turned his head to look.

Behind them, the dense forest suddenly billowed up dust, and a dozen or so thick trees snapped in two, resembling a row of broccoli florets sliced ​​diagonally by a chef, their surfaces perfectly smooth from top to bottom.

Looking down along the cut surface, one can see a terrifying ravine, ten meters deep and a hundred meters long, hidden in the smoke and dust.

Everything that existed in the ravine, whether trees or houses suspended by spider silk, had now turned to ashes and mixed into the dust below.

As for the spider brother who had been chasing him, he had already disappeared without a trace.

If you were to jump into the ditch now and turn the soil at the bottom up, you might still find, among the dust and mud, some ant-sized pieces of flesh and blood that are slowly dissipating...

Zenitsu stared blankly at the scene, completely bewildered by what was happening.

In contrast, Tanjiro and Inosuke on the other side were much more used to it.

After deciding to catch up with Lin Yu, the two little ones encountered the Spider Father and Spider Sister blocking their way, so they put down the three unconscious people and faced them one by one.

Before they could even begin fighting, terrifying Qi blades descended from the sky, crushing both evil spirits to pieces.
