The chat group admin really knows when to take action.

Then, the red flames pierced and shattered the yellow flame tiger.

The Flame Pillar was sent flying backwards.

In mid-air, Flame Pillar barely managed to turn around and land, gliding for four or five meters before coming to a stop with difficulty.

"What a terrifying power!"

Flame Pillar didn't notice that his hands were trembling.

In just one simple exchange, the Flame Pillar understood the terror of his opponent.

To defeat such a terrifying opponent, the only option is to use the ultimate technique.

Think of this.

Without hesitation, the Flame Pillar assumed a sword-holding stance.

A terrifying force is gathering.

The yellow flames around me burned brighter and brighter.

"Breath of Flame - Ninth Form: Purgatory!"

The final move of Flame Breathing, the ultimate technique, the Ninth Form Purgatory, rushes towards the enemy like a meteor, instantly inflicting a massive, bone-slicing slash.

The next instant, the Flame Pillar was engulfed in scorching flames and burst into a roar. He charged forward like a meteor, his target Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni swung the knife in his hand.

"Sun Breathing - Eleventh Form: Dragon Halo - Head Dance!"

This is a high-speed combo attack that resembles a fire dragon in flight, causing the demon's wounds to experience excruciating pain as if they were being burned by flames, and temporarily preventing regeneration.

At the moment the sword technique is activated.

The attacks from both sides collided.

It's as if two giant dragons are intertwined.

The battle raged on, ultimately transforming into a sky full of flames.

However, in Yoriichi Tsugikuni's transparent world, all techniques are useless.

You can understand your opponent's moves by observing the twitching of their muscles.

The ending was predetermined from the very beginning.

A fiery tornado shot into the sky.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The flames dispersed.

The Flame Pillar was sent flying backwards.

The wooden knife in his hand had already broken.

The Flame Pillar landed with difficulty, steadied himself, took a few deep breaths, and barely managed to suppress the burning heat in his body.

The battle that just took place has already decided the victor.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni was able to sever the Flame Pillar's neck with his final strike.

However, Yoriichi Tsugikuni slightly deflected the sword, ultimately only managing to cut the sword in the Flame Pillar's hand.

The battle ended when the swordsman lost his sword.

"I lost, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly!"

Flame Pillar readily admitted his defeat.

If you're not as skilled as others, then you're not as skilled as others.

The head of the Ubuyashiki family smiled slightly and announced the victory.

The Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen around them also witnessed how terrifying a battle between Pillar-level warriors could be.

Then Yanzhu came to his lord.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I've lost!"

The head of the Ubuyashiki family shook his head, his face still showing a gentle expression.

"No problem! You've already proven yourself."

Looking at his still gentle lord, Flame Pillar made up his mind to train relentlessly when he got back.

Then the head of the Ubuyashiki family looked at Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

“Mr. Yoriichi, I know that you don’t want anyone to sacrifice themselves, so you want to deal with all the demons by yourself, even if it means your death. But killing the Demon King Muzan is the fate and destiny of our Ubuyashiki clan.”

The head of the Ubuyashiki family felt that everyone present was an outsider, so he began to tell the family secrets.

Most boys born into the Ubuyashiki family have short lifespans and are weak and sickly.

This is because of that thousand-year-old curse.

Hundreds of years ago.

A monster has appeared in the Ubuyashiki family.

He is none other than the Demon King Muzan!

Muzan, the Demon King, was originally an ordinary young man, from the same Ubuyashiki clan as the head of the Demon Slayer Corps.

However, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness before he was even 20 years old, and in his desire to prolong his life, he sought out a mysterious doctor.

This doctor could be said to be the key to his transformation into a ghost.

The mysterious doctor did his best to secretly develop many formulas to prolong life, but Muzan's condition not only did not improve under his treatment but worsened. So Muzan harbored resentment and killed the doctor.

However, Muzan was surprised to find that his body had undergone a powerful change.

Muzan's muscles became stronger, and he gained the ability to regenerate, as well as the magic to maintain his youthful appearance forever.

However, the only drawback is that it cannot walk in the sunlight and must eat human flesh and blood to maintain this ability.

This was certainly unsatisfactory for him, who was a perfectionist, but the crucial doctor had already been cruelly murdered by him.

However, he found the clue of the blue spider lily in the doctor's books and prescriptions.

So, in order to find this medicinal herb, they turned people into ghosts and made them their slaves, searching for it all over the world.

In the end, it was all to satisfy his own selfish desires, thus filling the corners of the world with vengeful ghosts.

After Muzan Kibutsuji became a demon, the Ubuyashiki clan seemed to be cursed, with every newborn in the family being weak and sickly, and dying soon after.

Later, when the Ubuyashiki clan's bloodline was on the verge of extinction, they received inspiration from the shrine and learned that a demon had appeared among their bloodline. They had to devote their efforts to defeating it, and in this way, the Ubuyashiki clan would not be extinct.

The Thousand-Year Curse of the Ubuyashiki Clan

After receiving the advice of the shrine priest, the Ubuyashiki family began to marry wives from the priestly families generation after generation, and the children born from them were less likely to die.

Even if the child survives, no one in the Ubuyashiki family ever lives past thirty.

After watching Demon Slayer, Jikko knew about these things.

But hearing the head of the Ubuyashiki family say it gave a completely different feeling.

The head of the Ubuyashiki family seemed to be recounting the tragedy and glory of his clan.

Yoriichi hesitated for a moment, as the other party's sense of responsibility and determination to slay demons were no less than his own.

Just then, Jiang Nan came down the steps.

"Fate and destiny, a thousand-year curse, the Ubuyashiki family is truly too tragic!"

Yoriichi Tsugikuni turned to look at Kang Nan.

"Group owner, even I am unable to protect you during battle..."

Jiang Nan interrupted Yoriichi Tsugikuni directly.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it!"

Then Jiang Nan looked at the head of the Ubuyashiki family.

"Your Demon Slayer Corps can go, but I have a small condition: I hope to borrow your Demon Slayer Corps' selection site."

At this moment in the group.

[Group Owner Jiang Nan]: "Mr. Yuan Yi, with me here, no one will be sacrificed, I guarantee it."

Ji Guoyuan saw the message in the group in an instant.

The head of the Ubuyashiki family looked at Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni nodded helplessly.

The head of the Ubuyashiki family said, "Alright!"

Chapter 18, Lu Mingfei's utter bewilderment

Lu Mingfei, who was eating melon seeds, suddenly saw Jiang Nan looking at him.

Why are you looking at me like that!

Jiang Nan smiled slightly.

That smile sent a chill down Lu Mingfei's spine.

"Hey group admin, my mom's calling me home to collect the laundry, so I'll have to go now!"

"Hey! No rush!"

Jiang Nan appeared beside Lu Mingfei at some point, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Looking at the gentle smile on Jiang Nan's face, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but swallow.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Jiang Nan's smile remained unchanged, and he spoke in a tone that suggested he was doing it for her own good.

“Mingfei! You’ve been practicing swordsmanship for so long, but you can’t do without experiencing a battle! Your combat experience is far too limited. So, to improve your combat abilities, I spoke to the owner, and he agreed. This is a very rare opportunity.”
