They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 20 The Night of the Riot (Please continue reading)

After the tree ghost and bat ghost confessed, Dan Lei learned about the remaining three ghosts and kept his promise to give them a quick death.

The Nichirin Sword Tanrei, which he obtained from Urokodaki Sakonji, is usually kept in a box.

Dan Lei thought it was too light, and Sasaki Kojiro also found it inconvenient to handle.

Moreover, in the eyes of Dan Lei, a man from Luofu, the forging techniques of the Taisho era meant that this thing was just a toy or handicraft, not a weapon.

Therefore, Dan Lei only used these two knives as tools to deal with the ghosts.

Simply put, every time Danlei defeats an oni and decides it's no longer useful, he cuts off its head with his Nichirin Blade. The rest of the time, aside from routine cleaning, they just stay in the box.

After dealing with the tree demon and the bat demon, Dan Lei, knowing that Lower Moon Three, Byouyo, was in the town, immediately rushed back at full speed.

However, as soon as you step out of the woods, you can see that the town is already ablaze.

They stormed into the town, which had maintained peace during the day, and it had completely descended into chaos.

People were fighting, smashing, looting, and burning everywhere. In many houses and the shadows of the streets, the cries of women and the unrestrained laughter of men could be heard.

People are now venting their evil desires, turning the town into a hellish place.

Moreover, everyone in this town seemed to have the courage of a bear and the guts of a leopard; Dan Lei was attacked by several groups of ordinary people as soon as he entered the town.

Dan Lei showed no mercy to these civilians who had become a mob. He didn't care about those who were perceptive enough not to provoke him; he let them do whatever they wanted until he found the ghost.

But if anyone dares to provoke me, I'll just break their arms and legs and throw them on the side of the road.

As for what will happen to them next, it depends on whether fate is willing to take them away at this time.

Of course, these people are also bait for Dan Lei to lure ghosts. They all have special marks on them made by Dan Lei. As long as a ghost touches the mark, the magic power on the ghost will activate the mark, and Dan Lei will know where the ghost is.

Sure enough, not long after, some ghosts couldn't resist attacking these immobilized people.

The first ghost Dan Lei caught was a ghost that could emit sound waves that made people momentarily lose their senses and become dazed, but its power was not strong, and even ordinary people with strong willpower could break through it.

But if you're cunning and can take down an ordinary person without them even noticing, that's just basic skill.

The police officers were taken over by it and then killed by other ghosts.

Dan Lei casually conjured an ice longsword and beheaded the creature. Then, he used its blood to draw a magic extraction array on the spot, instantly draining its energy and reducing it to ashes.

Actually, after the magic extraction array drains the magic power from a ghost, it will form a small piece of blood-red magic crystal.

However, the magic within this crystal is extremely mixed, like industrial wastewater; it needs to be purified before it can be used.

The cost of purifying it is higher than its intrinsic value, so Danlei usually just crushes it and discards it.

This time, however, Danlei deliberately placed it inside a fireball and shot it into the sky to detonate it.

This is very much like a distress signal, and the diseased leaves will probably come knocking soon to see who is calling for help.

Sure enough, not long after, Bingye appeared in front of Danlei with a two-meter-tall, fat ghost that looked like a mountain of flesh.

Actually, the leaf had arrived a while earlier; he just spent some time confirming whether Danlei was a pillar.

Fortunately, Dan Lei never carries a weapon, only has a box on his back, and his clothes have nothing to do with the Demon Slayer Corps.

Furthermore, Dan Lei's aura was strange; he could even condense ice into swords. Therefore, Bingye judged that Dan Lei wasn't a pillar, but rather some unknown ghost who had come to plunder. Thus, as soon as Bingye appeared, he spoke to Dan Lei in a mocking tone.
"Hey, where did you come from? You have no manners and just barge into someone else's hunting grounds like that."

Dan Lei smiled upon seeing Bingye appear, and once again conjured an ice longsword, laughing as he spoke.
"Lower Moon Three, Sick Leaf, it's good that you've appeared."

After saying that, Dan Lei directly slashed an ice blade at the diseased leaf.

This ice blade wasn't a breathing technique; it was purely a test.

However, the fat ghost next to Bingye stepped in front of him and blocked the attack with his own body.

The ice blade sliced ​​open its belly, revealing the disgusting fat inside and causing widespread ice damage, but for this ghost, it was no injury at all, and it recovered in a few seconds.

Seeing this, the diseased leaf immediately complained in displeasure.

"Damn it, so he's one of those idiots who thinks defeating me will make him Lower Moon Three. Enough talk, Mountain of Flesh, take him down!"

At Bingye's command, the demon named Roushan charged at Danlei like a wild boar.

However, the tree demon and the bat demon had already revealed all the information about it to Dan Lei. This guy's blood demon magic was very strange; it was just about growing fat.

However, its fat defense, cushioning, and regeneration capabilities are extremely strong, and it can even be torn off and thrown out to explode.

It's fair to say that aside from its lack of speed, this guy is incredibly tanky and deals significant damage.

With Dan Lei's swordsmanship, taking down such a lump of meat is quite troublesome, because Dan Lei's high-power skills are mostly fixed in position and it is difficult to hit moving targets, while his low-power skills are very inefficient at taking down this mountain of meat.

However, what makes humans human is their wisdom.

With such a large size, you can easily move mountains with minimal effort.

With a flick of his ice blade, Dan Lei created a patch of ice on the ground in front of him. He then took cooking oil from a box on his back and poured it onto the ice. Finally, he lifted the end of the ice, creating an upward slope.

This operation was completed in the blink of an eye; the Mountain of Flesh had just gained speed and rushed directly onto the oily ice surface.

As expected, the thing crashed on the spot, and due to its enormous inertia, it was ejected and launched into the air.

Once airborne, this thing's already clumsy body became nothing more than a lump of fat.

Dan Lei simply strengthened his body and lightly leaped up to neck height, replacing his ice sword with a Nichirin Blade, and with a simple, unadorned water-surface slash, severed his head.

After finishing, Dan Lei didn't forget to switch back to his Nichirin Blade, giving Bing Ye the illusion that he had wiped out Bing Ye's subordinates with his ice sword.

Actually, Bingye was already a little panicked at this point, because Danlei's Roshan kill was almost instantaneous.

Bingye knew he couldn't possibly defeat this lump of flesh in a short time, so Danlei might be stronger than him.

So when Dan Lei looked at it again, it changed its previous arrogance and asked again.
"Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with Lord Doma? Are you the demon he transformed into?"

Regarding the question about the diseased leaf, Dan Lei simply rushed in front of him and slashed at him with his sword, as if to say, "Guess."

However, Dan Lei's sword strike was caught by Bing Ye with one arm.

Although Dan Lei didn't use a breathing technique with this sword strike, he underestimated the strength of the Lower Moon Demon's body. Leaf-shaped scales had grown on Bingye's arm, so when the sword struck, the scales reduced the damage, and the strike went straight to the bone and got stuck in the flesh.
