Demon Slayer: Can I add points to my Breathing Technique?

What does it mean to not even be considered a cadre?

Xia Xi's words touched a nerve.

For a moment, the Rust-Eating Pill's roaring claws and scratches became even more imposing.

You have no right to know these things!

"Just like those swordsmen before, they'll obediently be eaten by me!"

Seeing that Xia Xi was in a "battle", the swordsmen who had just left surrounded him to help him.

After all three of their Nichirin Blades were reduced to scrap metal, they were caught in a dilemma: continuing the attack or retreating was not an option either.

"You flies are so annoying."

Seeing that he was unable to subdue Xia Xi, Shi Xiu Wan turned his attention to the few unarmed ordinary swordsmen around him.

Just as they were about to make their move.

The abdomen was hit hard, almost causing stomach acid to come out.

"you……"

Unbelievably, Shi Xiu Wan then realized that the boy in front of him had never shown any sign of panic.

Even after his only weapon was damaged, the same thing happened.

"If I ask you a question, you should answer honestly."

Taking advantage of its opponent's contorted body in pain, Xia Xi smoothly followed up with a knee strike. It struck the opponent's nose, and a large amount of dark blood gushed from its nasal cavity, smearing its own face.

With a cry of pain, Rust-Eating Pill's entire vision blurred.

Even if he becomes a ghost.

The pain receptors on the face and bridge of the nose remain the most sensitive.

Before it could recover, it felt its footing give way and it fell backward onto the ground.

"Tell me, what are the Twelve Demon Moons? Are they your officers?" Xia Xi asked, having just laid the demon down on the ground. "And the ability to rust samurai swords, is that your unique ability, or can the other Twelve Demon Moons also do that?"

"..."

Shixiuwan stared at the blurry starry sky, still unable to react.

This is where the Demon Slayer Corps is selected.

This kid, he hasn't even become a Demon Slayer yet, how come he seems a bit too strong?

"I'm asking you a question."

I'm going to kill you!

Rusty Pill struggled to get up, wanting to take a bite out of Xia Xi.

Before he could even get up, he was easily knocked down again.

Even this evil spirit still adheres to the techniques, or rather, habits, of exerting force according to the structure of the human body.

The power chain originates from the waist and abdomen, is supported and assisted by the neck and arms, and is finally completed by the hips and lower limbs.

This is a complete chain of motion for getting up.

But for Xia Xi...

Just interrupt it.

He kicked the opponent's knee, then turned sideways and pressed down, gathering all his strength in his right palm and slamming it onto the opponent's head.

Rust-Eating Pill was pushed back down even faster than he could get up.

His head slammed against the rubble on the ground with a loud thud.

It almost knocked me unconscious.

The swordsmen around who witnessed this attack also felt a chill run down their spines.

Wow, this person is so skilled...

For Xia Xi, these were instincts ingrained in his muscles.

That's all.

It was even simpler than what he had accomplished in other fighting games before.

After all, the game we're playing now doesn't have the built-in "super armor" protection when you get up.

"If you confess, maybe I'll let you go?"

Shixiuwan's eyes gradually regained their senses.

Shame and anger made it almost unable to control itself.

He roared, "How would I know about something like that!"

Xia Xi: "What about your boss? You were just trying to gain his favor, don't tell me you didn't know."

The demon's expression froze.

As if she had thought of something terrifying, she subconsciously shivered before continuing to be stubborn.

"You brat, even if you kill me, I won't tell!"

"Besides, without a knife, do you think you can kill me? Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xi simply sighed softly.

To extract information, one would probably need some interrogation skills or special items.

Oh well, there are plenty more ghosts to come.

Some of this information might also be available to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and its higher-ups.

Let's focus on the main storyline first.

He threw a punch, and this time he held nothing back.

With the power he gained in a short time through breathing techniques, he punched the demon so hard that his face was covered in blood and gore.

Then came another punch.

The relentless punches rained down like a storm.

Rust-Eating Pill, however, wanted to resist and tried to get up and run away.

But every time he made a move, he would be interrupted by Xia Xi's powerful punches.

In an instant, the Rust-Eating Pill had become a leather drum that Xia Xi could beat on the ground without feeling any pain.

As for Xia Xi...

Suppressing this evil spirit in front of us is only the right thing to do.

Aside from the opponent's somewhat troublesome Blood Demon Technique, its power was inherently inferior to its own, enhanced by the Breathing Technique.

On a technical level, he's a complete idiot who knows absolutely nothing.

Now that they're on the ground, they can't even muster a decent ground grappling or grappling technique.

Of course, it can only be completely suppressed by itself.

The games are different.

These honed techniques don't really benefit from any special effects in this game.

However, the fighting skills and strong physique are objective realities.

Therefore, this is a victory for martial arts.

However, the opponent wasn't entirely passive; the Rust-Eating Pill was still quite tough on the lips.

"You brat, this is all you can do to show off!"

"Strong? What can you do with strong strength!"

"I'm an immortal ghost!"

"You can fight now, but can you keep fighting forever?"

"It's still a long way from sunrise. Do you intend to spend the whole night with me?"

"Just let me eat you obediently, don't worry, I'll bite your neck off as soon as possible, aren't I merciful, hahahahaha..."

Xia Xi's punches slowed down.

"What you said does make some sense."

The surrounding swordsmen stared wide-eyed, and one of them shouted, "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense! We're here to help you. Let's hold out until sunrise, and this monster will be finished!"

However, Oath stopped the swordsmen who were about to come forward to help.

She said, "Xia Xijun knows what he's doing."

"You're so smart, Persimmon."

A series of cracking sounds rang out.

Xia Xi brutally smashed the other person's limbs.

He then naturally got up, picked up the broken knife that was only half left, and went to the other person's head.

"I'm telling you, you must have eaten quite a few people, right?"

"After all, the name is so famous."

Rusty Pill cried out in surprise and pain, "Ouch...it hurts! What do you want to do?!"

"Knife?"

"Are you stupid? You don't actually expect that broken little knife to hurt me, do you?"

Xia Xi said expressionlessly, "Have you forgotten? I just cut off your hand once."

Rust-Eating Pill: "Huh?"

Although the sword broke, the fact that it was able to cut off the demon's hand earlier indicates that the opponent's corrosion rate was fast.

But there are limits.
