Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 521 Isn't this just a vampire?

Before he could finish speaking, Fan Xian discovered the tragedy unfolding in the alley.

He frowned, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second, in the dimly lit alley, a handsome young man in white appeared out of thin air, standing with his hands behind his back, staring expressionlessly at the figure with his back to him in the alley—

It was a robust man, barefoot, wearing tattered coarse cloth clothes, his bare arms covered with all sorts of dark blue and ferocious tattoos.

At first glance, this person appears to be a member of an underworld criminal organization.

But real criminals are usually only responsible for beating and killing people. This is the first time Fan Xian has ever seen cannibalism in the literal sense!

A cold glint appeared in Fan Xian's eyes, and he spoke in an icy, completely flat tone:
"Is it tasty?"

"..."

The cold voice reached his ears, and the man paused in his eating.

"Who?!"

"..."

Fan Xian stood still, expressionless, as if he hadn't heard the man's question.

Upon recognizing the figure at the alley entrance, the man's eyes lit up, and he grinned maliciously at Fan Xian, saying:
"Good good!"

"I was just complaining that this girl wasn't meaty enough, but I never expected someone to deliver themselves to my door!"

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for giving you extra food. Blame your own bad luck—"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp cracking sound of bone breaking abruptly interrupted his wild words.

The man's voice abruptly stopped.

He stared blankly down at his neck, his face filled with astonishment.

Suddenly, a long, slender hand appeared there, and as easily as plucking a flower or a leaf, it plucked his head off his neck.

Before the man could recover from his shock, his vision blurred and he was turned around by the hand, where he saw a handsome face that seemed to be deep in thought.

"...They're still alive?"

Yun Ye cradled the head in one hand, gazing into its still-living, bewildered eyes, and couldn't help but sigh softly:
"It really is a ghost..."

"asshole!"

The man's head suddenly snapped back to reality, his eyes wide with rage, and he let out a furious roar even as his head was severed from his body.

At the same time, his headless body, which had been standing still, suddenly moved. His right fist clenched tightly, and with a shrill sound, it slammed into Yun Ye like a heavy cannon!
But just as the fist was about to strike, the white-clad figure at the alley entrance suddenly flashed, appearing like a ghost to block the headless body.

"Oh!"

Fan Xian casually raised his hand, and the fierce punch that was powerful enough to split stone tablets instantly stopped.

He gripped the headless body's shoulders expressionlessly, and with a burst of magical power, raging flames rose up, instantly engulfing the entire headless body.

"what!!"

At the same time, the head in Yun Ye's hand let out an extremely miserable howl.

Yun Ye frowned, casually sealing the head's mouth shut, then used his magic to lift it into the air, turning to look at Fan Xian's retreating figure and saying:

"Old Fan, have you seen this anime?"

"No."

Fan Xian turned around, ignoring the human torch-like figure behind him who was waving its arms and legs and burning fiercely, and asked with a frown, "What kind of world is this?"

"Demon Slayer".

Yun Ye explained softly, "It's a world of shonen manga where evil spirits exist."

With Yun Ye's clear and logical explanation, Fan Xian quickly understood the worldview of Demon Slayer and figured out why the demons here look the way they do.

The "demon" in Demon Slayer is not a spirit, but rather a kind of monster called a demon.

They are immortal, possess immense strength, crave to eat people, and wield a powerful ability called 'Blood Demon Arts'. However, they also fear sunlight and can only operate in the dark...

"Isn't that a vampire?"

Fan Xian couldn't help but interject.

Yun Ye was slightly taken aback. After a moment's thought, he had to admit that Fan Xian's criticism made a lot of sense.

Vampires fear silver, and the demons of this world fear the forging material of Nichirin Blades. Vampires hate the smell of garlic, and the demons of this world loathe the fragrance of wisteria flowers, and may even be poisoned by the wisteria flowers.

Its characteristics and weaknesses are practically modeled after vampires.

The only thing that deviates from the template is probably the superpower-like Blood Demon Art...

"According to the original setting, the first demon in this world is named Kibutsuji Muzan."

"He was originally human, but after taking some kind of drug, he unexpectedly gained a strong body that was immortal and began to crave human flesh and blood. This is how a demon was born."

"From this perspective, Demon Slayer still has a lot of good stuff."

"The prescription that turned Muzan into a demon, the mysterious blue spider lily, the genes of Muzan and the demon race, and the hell dimension that appeared in the original work all have considerable research value."

Fan Xian nodded and said, "So, ghosts are common in this world, and we don't need to leave this one behind?" Yun Ye glanced at the head whose mouth was sealed with magic and whose face was full of fear and pain, and said disdainfully, "It's just an ordinary ghost!"

"It would have to be during the Twelve Ghost Months to be worth capturing alive, right?"

That's good!
Fan Xian nodded, flicked his finger, and a wisp of golden-red fire flew out, entered the nostril of the skull, and burned it completely to ashes.

After the headless body and the demon's head had completely turned to ashes and dissipated, the two lowered their heads and looked at the mangled corpse of the girl on the ground in the alley.

This alleyway seems to be a feeding ground for evil spirits, and the corpses were dragged from elsewhere.

Therefore, the girl on the ground had already died long before the two of them traveled through time, and the sound of bones twisting earlier was nothing more than the sound of a ghost tearing apart a corpse...

"Pity."

Yun Ye sighed, waved his hand to collect the girl's remains, and then looked at Fan Xian and said, "I just investigated, and this girl seems to be a geisha bought and trained in the red-light district."

"Without father or mother, and with an unknown past, let's find a secluded place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to bury her!"

Fan Xian thought the same thing, and immediately nodded, flying into the sky with Yun Ye.

Not long after, the two buried the girl's mutilated body in a secluded forest on the outskirts of the city.

Yun Ye clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and recited a passage of scripture. Immediately, golden light surged out, transforming into Sanskrit characters that adhered to the nameless tombstone.

Fan Xian raised an eyebrow, surprised, and said, "I didn't know you had this skill?"

Yun Ye lowered his arms and said in a low voice, "There's no other way. If you want to be the ancestor who leads the revival of spiritual energy, you have to master the methods of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism first."

"I only learned some Buddhist scriptures because I needed to show off in front of those monks..."

It turns out it was all for showing off.

That’s not surprising!

Fan Xian nodded, his expression showing understanding.

Just then, the two men's expressions shifted slightly, and they both turned their gazes to the tokens at their waists.

The city entry token, engraved with mysterious eyes, inexplicably floated up, shimmering with a silvery light in the air beside the two.

"This is... my elder brother's aura?"

Fan Xian exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but meet Yun Ye's gaze.

The latter frowned and asserted, "Big Brother has been to this world!"

Fan Xian added, "Moreover... it's very likely that something was left here!"

The two exchanged a glance, and in unison reached out to grasp their respective tokens.

"Whatever my brother left behind, let's go take a look!"

……

……

In the hazy darkness of the night, a derailed train lay on its side like a dying beast.

The carriages were stacked and intertwined, twisted and deformed by the horrific impact, covered with shocking dents and cracks.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the boy wearing a wild boar's head mask staggered to his feet, his body stained with undried blood.

His beast-like eyes swept quickly across the ruins, soon locking onto a section of the overturned carriage, or rather, the unconscious blond boy in the gap beneath the carriage.

Without hesitation, he immediately holstered the serrated longsword in his hand, rushed towards the blond boy, and pulled him out from the gap under the carriage.

After helping the blond boy up, the boar-headed boy turned his head and looked at the battlefield in front of him where the sounds of fierce fighting were coming from.

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

The sounds of metal clashing, like swords clashing, rang out one after another.

Fiery red flames and golden rays streaked across the sky like shooting stars.

From a distance, it looked as if three blurry figures were colliding at high speed in a clearing at the edge of the woodland.

The turbulent air currents transformed into a gale, howling and stirring up dust. Every clash and collision was as dazzling and spectacular as fireworks exploding at a festival.

Seeing this, Inosuke gritted his teeth, his free left hand gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist tightly, his eyes filled with intense resentment.

"So fast!"

"My eyes... can't keep up!"

Inosuke gritted his teeth, desperately wanting to rush over and help.

However, the three people currently fighting are far too powerful. With his current state and strength, he simply cannot step into this battlefield that belongs to the strong.

This is normal, after all, he is just an ordinary member of the Demon Slayer Corps now.

The three people currently fighting, whether it's the pink-haired, muscular Upper Moon Three or the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku with his long golden-red hair, are all far superior to him in his current state.

But... Tanjiro, who was his contemporary, was also among these three afterimages.

In such a short time, he has been left far behind by this kid!
