Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

The stench of blood is emanating from there.

This familiar scene almost made Tanjiro Kamado lose his composure, and his breathing quickened.

The heavy breathing was so clear in the quiet night that it made the thin man stop what he was doing and turn around to look.

The moonlight illuminated the other's face, which was completely flushed red, and his fangs gleamed with a faint, cold light.

It's a ghost!

Tanjiro Kamado finally understood what Lin Yu meant by his reminder.

These are the legendary man-eating demons!

The thin man looked at Tanjiro Kamado with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He was completely unaware that the other party had approached.

Was I so focused on eating that I didn't notice the other person?

Regardless of the circumstances, once this person discovers their true identity, they must die!

The skinny man's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he charged towards Tanjiro Kamado like an arrow released from a bow.

The moment Tanjiro Kamado made eye contact with his opponent, all the muscles in his body tensed up, and he moved in response to the opponent's every move.

He swung his hand axe fiercely at the opponent's face, but the real killing move was a left-hand hook aimed at the opponent's waist.

This was Lin Yu's instruction to him: humans are fragile, and if any internal organ is attacked, they can die at any time.

No fewer than ten people have died from this move.

But this time, the sure-kill blow was no longer effective against the thin man.

Facing Tanjiro Kamado's cleaver, the thin man merely turned his head slightly, allowing the cleaver to fall on his neck without any obstruction. Tanjiro Kamado was startled, and at the same time, his left hook landed on the man's waist.

However, the opponent withstood both attacks without any apparent discomfort, and still managed to throw a punch that landed on Tanjiro Kamado's stomach.

Tanjiro Kamado felt as if he had been gored by a wild boar, his body arched and he flew several meters away.

Despite the excruciating pain, Tanjiro Kamado rolled on the ground, stood up again, and held his hand axe horizontally in front of his chest.

If you fall to the ground during a battle and are not treated promptly, it could very well lead to your death.

He looked at the man in front of him with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. The injuries he had just sustained would have been fatal to an ordinary human.

At this moment, after a cold smile appeared on the corner of the skinny man's mouth, the long bloodstain on his neck healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Heh, so you're just an ordinary person who doesn't know anything. If you want to rid the people of evil, we'll see if you're qualified."

The thin man's face was contorted with rage as he glanced maliciously at Tanjiro Kamado's stomach:

"That attack must have hurt you badly, right? I wonder how many more hits you can take?"

Tanjiro Kamado's face was ashen; he had realized he had been careless.

During the past month, he heard many rumors about ghosts while traveling, many of which claimed that ghosts were immortal.

He initially thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true.

However, having met Giyu Tomioka, he knew that humans must use methods to kill demons, otherwise the human world would have long been dominated by demons.

At that moment, Tanjiro Kamado had a sudden thought, remembering Nezuko's constant reluctance to be exposed to sunlight.

So, is sunlight the way to fight ghosts?

Considering that Lin Yu chose this time, when the sun was about to rise, for him to come, he was now certain that the ghost must be afraid of sunlight.

After thinking for a while, Tanjiro Kamado had an idea.

Seeing that Tanjiro Kamado hadn't spoken yet, the thin man rushed over again.

This time he was even more overconfident, changing his punches to grabs, his intention was clearly to fight Tanjiro Kamado in close combat.

Tanjiro Kamado took a breath, forcibly suppressing the excruciating pain in his stomach that showed no signs of abating, and moved his body at will.

Although he didn't know how to kill him, that didn't mean he had no way to deal with it.

After all, although the opponent is strong and fast, most of their attacks are straightforward and lack any flexibility, and they may even be worse than some street thugs.

Tanjiro Kamado easily dodged the skinny man's grab and swung his hand axe again, this time targeting the man's eyes!

The thin man neither dodged nor evaded, his eyes wide open as he was struck by Kamado Tanjiro's sword, adding more bloodstains to the already blood-soaked ground. Despite his impaired eyesight, he reached out and grabbed at Kamado Tanjiro.

Tanjiro Kamado had anticipated this, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, along with the cold gleam of his axe shimmering in the moonlight.

As the axe fell, so too did the arm that the other person had grabbed.

As he twisted his body, he also kicked the arm far away.

He then quickly retreated and landed at the doorway.

His attack was a test, to see just how strong the opponent's self-healing ability really was.

After all, the other party is not indestructible. Although the wound on his neck healed quickly, it still took a few seconds. If he lost an injury like his arm, it might take even longer to heal on its own.

Ideally, the other person's arm should not grow back.

"Heh, you think you can restrain me like this?"

The thin man gave a sinister smile, and then, amidst a groaning sound of flesh twisting and turning, an arm even thinner than before grew out.

Tanjiro Kamado's heart sank.

While the opponent's self-healing speed wasn't the worst possible, it was definitely among the worst.

His original plan was to cut the other person into a human stick and then wait for the sun to rise, but now that idea has fallen through, so he can only see if he can control the other person and then wait for the sun to rise.

At the same time, Tanjiro Kamado also prepared for the worst—if he couldn't control his opponent, he would try to stall for time and wait for the sunlight to come, so that he would at least be safe.

Just as Tanjiro Kamado was thinking this, he felt his right leg being restrained by a force.

The force was so great that it almost broke his bones.

He looked down and discovered that the arm he had severed earlier was now sprouting a small leg from the cut.

It quietly crept up behind Tanjiro Kamado and subdued him.

At the same time, a sinister voice rang out:

"Hehe, caught you. Let's see how you run now."

Tanjiro Kamado, who was completely unable to move, was tackled by a force in the next second.

The thin man tightly gripped Tanjiro Kamado's arms with both hands, his scarlet eyes fixed on Tanjiro Kamado.

The two stared at each other, no more than a dozen centimeters apart. The nauseating stench emanating from the thin man's breath nearly made Tanjiro Kamado dizzy.

The thin man sniffed intently, inhaling the scent emanating from Tanjiro Kamado, a look of pure ecstasy on his face.

"It really smells sweet. I've never eaten such a robust body before. Maybe it'll be as chewy as beef?"

Tanjiro Kamado pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on the thin man.

"Heh, forget it. I was originally going to enjoy the look of despair on your face, but seeing this, I'll just eat you up instead!"

As soon as the skinny man finished speaking, his ferocious nature was revealed, and his mouth, full of fangs, opened to its widest extent.

He bit down hard on Tanjiro Kamado's neck!

Tanjiro Kamado felt death looming over him, and at that moment, only one thought remained in his mind.

He hates!

Why am I so weak that I can't even defeat a ghost that looks so weak?

How can he possibly take revenge on his enemy now!

Even though Lin Yu has taught him so much, there are still so many areas where he hasn't been taken care of?

The raging flames of hatred burned wildly, and the surging power of hatred allowed the seeds of passion that had already sprouted to grow strong, and the passion quietly flowed within Tanjiro Kamado's body.

Seeing everything, Lin Yu smiled slightly.

Indeed, the power of emotion that erupts between life and death is the greatest and most turbulent.

With a satisfied nod, Lin Yu had a thought and poured a portion of his emotional energy into the body of the thin man opposite him.

The other party's ferocious expression froze at that moment, and then countless cracks appeared on the other party's body and face.

The next second, the opponent exploded, his body turning into countless tiny fragments, creating a pure and violent spray of blood in the room.

Thick blood was everywhere on the walls and floor.

Upon seeing this familiar scene, Tanjiro Kamado suddenly froze in embarrassment.

"Did Master make a move?"

He asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Who else could it be? This month of instruction has been completely wasted. If you remembered what I said, you would never have been so embarrassed in front of the other party."

Lin Yu said coldly:

"I've told you countless times, when facing an enemy, you can't overlook any anomaly or possibility. The enemies you face later will only be stronger and have more unpredictable abilities than the one in front of you, so you need to be even more careful."

Although he had anticipated what was happening, teaching was another matter entirely.

"I'm sorry, Master, I've let you down."
