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

She clapped her hands, as if in praise.

"Wow, you've got some skills, a bit better than the previous ones."

"But haven't you noticed? From the moment you stepped into this sanatorium, you've already been breathing in my 'gift'."

She spoke with the smugness of a little girl sharing a secret.

Why would I chat with these swordsmen who came to slay demons?

Besides having absolute confidence in his own strength, waiting for the Blood Demon Art to take effect was also one of the reasons.

Looking at the three people in front of her, she slowly said, "My Blood Demon Art can spread invisible spores."

Do you know what yam beans are?

"Small amounts of contact may only cause itchy skin, but excessive inhalation can cause problems."

"They will take root and sprout in your lungs and blood vessels, and eventually, they will grow out of your body little by little."

"It will become my favorite potted plant..."

As she spoke, she tried to see a look of panic on their faces.

however……

"Ah!"

Xia Xi couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

Then, looking at the demon with alarm, he exclaimed, "It took effect so quickly!? Damn Blood Demon Art!"

Ling Yuzi:......

No, I don't think my spores will make people sneeze.

"You idiot, her spores won't make people sneeze," Shinobu said helplessly to her companion. "Besides, didn't you already get an injection of inhibitors?"

Xia Xi was taken aback, then said seriously, "No, it's her spores that made me allergic."

After hearing the conversation between the group, which was completely unnerved and sounded like they were bickering, he realized that they were not nervous at all.

Lingyuzi vaguely realized that something was wrong.

"Inhibitor?"

What is that?

She tried to speed up the process of catalyzing her spores, but found that the spores that should have taken root in their bodies had all stopped reacting.

Huh? What happened?!

Could it be that these people... have Nichirin swords implanted in their lungs?!

Notice the sudden change in the expression on Zero's face.

The butterfly suppressed a laugh.

She even gave a smile that was sweeter than the other person's, but devoid of warmth.

Are you talking about those cute little spores?

“We’ve already injected ourselves with inhibitors before coming here. Thanks to samples from previous patients, I’m quite familiar with your ‘pathogen’.”

"This...miracle doctor."

She held the knife, tilted her head, and looked at the other person with sympathetic eyes.

"But surely the divine physician wouldn't understand these things?"

"After all, judging from your appearance, you don't seem like someone who has received much education."

Xia Xi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The child's tone of voice reminded him of when Kanae teased Tengen Uzui.

It's confirmed, they are biological sisters.

Lingyu's sweet mask finally broke down, and the anger of being teased surged up, making her expression somewhat ferocious.

"...You're asking for death!"

Her figure vanished from the spot in an instant!

That was a speed of advance that far exceeded that of ordinary ghosts, and even surpassed that of many Class A swordsmen.

The target is Shinobu Kocho, who appears to be the youngest.

The attack was so fast that Shinobu's pupils contracted sharply, and his body barely had time to react.

But she remained completely calm.

Because she knew that the giant carrot and the storm pillar beside her would be able to see her clearly and protect her.

And that's exactly what happened.

Xia Xi could indeed see clearly, and her body was also able to keep up.

As for Igarashi standing to the side?

She had already stood silently in front of Shinobu Kocho without anyone noticing, and her Nichirin Blade was half-drawn.

It was as if they were quietly waiting there for the other party to bump into them.

however!

The attack, which had been launched by Ling Yuzi, was abruptly halted halfway through!

It wasn't to avoid the Storm Pillar's or Xia Xi's sword.

But...

Her gaze was fixed on the hem of the haori that was slightly raised by the movement of the Arashi Pillar, and on the button that was a completely different color.

Golden...

This person is a pillar!?

Extreme fear instantly overwhelmed the anger.

Without any hesitation or even a harsh word, Lingyuzi directly summoned a large amount of spore powder.

At the same time, far more, thicker, and dark purple dangerous vines than before broke through the ground and attacked the three of them frantically!

But hurting people was not her goal.

Because in the next second.

Using the smoke and vines as cover, Ling Yuzi shot off into the distant forest without looking back!

Run! Run! Run!

Without the slightest hesitation, and without any intention of trying to fight the other side head-on.

I'm going to die! ...

I've been so low-key, I just ate some ordinary little devils, how come a Demon Slayer Corps Pillar came knocking on my door?!

Chapter 74 You Take Down Tang Sanzang and His Disciples

Damn it, it actually ran away?!

Whether it was Xia Xi, the still-stunned Shinobu Kocho, or the Storm Pillar who had already quietly gripped the hilt of his sword, they were all stunned.

Not every ghost should be a hot-blooded brute who fights to the death.

However, in most cases, when demons encounter Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, they will rely on their regenerated bodies to fight a few moves with Blood Demon Art first.

Of course, it cannot be said that all evil spirits are arrogant.

In most cases, however, they slaughter ordinary people and low- to mid-level swordsmen.

They naturally have the confidence to be arrogant.

The same applies to remainders.

If she hadn't personally witnessed the other Lower Moons being beheaded by the Pillars.

Those Demon Slayer members with gold buttons are all as strong as demons.

Even though the bespectacled man in front of him was not the same person as the orange-haired swordsman in his memory.

But even if this person is weaker, with only 70-80% of the opponent's strength.

Ling Yuzi figured that if he were in the opponent's hands, he definitely wouldn't last more than a few moves.

So, we still have to slip away!

This kind of monster should be left to the Upper Moons, who are also monsters, to deal with!

In an instant, the entire sanatorium courtyard was filled with an oppressive cloud of spore smoke, the ground cracked and collapsed, and thick vines surged like waves.

Watching the ghostly figure disappear into the distance.

Igarashi shifted slightly and lowered his body.

"Chase."

The next second, he planned to lead the three of them in pursuit.

But Xia Xi interrupted, "Wait, that's bait!"

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the Lower Moon with its wild and flamboyant aura, fleeing for its life, is undoubtedly the real Lower Moon.

But in Xia Xi's eyes, it was completely different.

Because the red tag above the other party's head clearly read the words "Vine Clone," and its energy level was far lower than the previous three hundred.

Only fifty.

As he swung his sword to cut away the entangled vines, he shielded Shinobu behind him.

His gaze quickly swept across the sanatorium.

Through the gaps in the intertwined vines, an inconspicuous ghostly figure was silently slipping away in another direction.

The system tab panel remains as eye-catching as ever in view.
