There were still too few dishes on the table. Looking at the children staring at him expectantly, Luo Ya gave a somewhat helpless smile. He pointed to the dishes on the table and said to everyone, "Don't be shy, eat together. We're all family now, no need to be so formal. Next time you cook, cook more."

The children looked at each other in bewilderment. It was only then that Kamado Aoi spoke up. She coughed lightly and said to the children around her, "Well then, let's eat."

Only then did the children all pick up their bowls and chopsticks and start eating.

Luo Ya ate until he was about two-thirds full. Although there seemed to be a lot of food, the great demon king Luo Ya would finish it in no time if he really ate it all, so it was enough to just eat a little to fill his stomach.

After finishing his meal, the energetic Tanjiro Kamado was about to go down the mountain to work. Roja curiously said to Tanjiro Kamado, "Tanjiro, let me go with you."

Tanjiro Kamado hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. He then asked Roya, "Brother Roya, what are you going to do? I don't mean anything by it, I just want to ask."

Luo Ya smiled, pointed to the axe he had found from the pile of firewood in front of the door, and said with a smile, "I'll chop wood with you."

Tanjiro Kamado was dumbfounded. He quickly asked, "Brother Roya, don't you still have work to do? Besides, I can do the rough work of chopping wood. There's no need to trouble you."

Luo Ya waved his hand and said, "The work is mostly patrolling at night. I'll go out and take a walk around the mountain to see if there are any man-eating animals. If we encounter them, it will be easier to deal with them. As for chopping wood, just treat it as a game."

Tanjiro Kamado smiled helplessly. He opened his mouth as if to say a few more words of advice, but seeing the other's curious eyes, he knew exactly what was going on.

Well, since the rich kid wanted to chop wood, Tanjiro Kamado had no choice but to take Roya down the mountain.

Luo Ya carried the bamboo basket on his back. It was noon, and although the midday sun in spring wasn't scorching, the temperature had already risen noticeably.

After walking a short distance, Tanjiro Kamado began to sweat.

Roya looked at Kamado Tanjiro with some curiosity, and after thinking for a moment, said to Kamado Tanjiro, "Kamado Tanjiro, you can try changing your breathing rhythm, like this."

After Luo Ya finished speaking, he began to demonstrate to Tanjiro Kamado what breathing techniques were. Breathing techniques are not difficult to learn, but they are mainly suitable for certain situations. Breathing techniques are easy to learn but not easy to master, but they are extremely useful for ordinary people. Almost anyone who learns a breathing technique can instantly change their combat power several times over.

Tanjiro Kamado scratched his head, his expression somewhat bewildered.

Somewhat helplessly, Roya walked over to Tanjiro Kamado and began to carefully instruct him.

He first tried Thunder Breathing, but it was clear that Thunder Breathing was not suitable for Tanjiro Kamado. Thunder Breathing is the fastest and most explosive of all breathing techniques, but it requires extremely high physical fitness from the user, making it very difficult to master.

Roya was able to quickly master the Breath of Lightning because of his own strength, but it was still somewhat difficult for Tanjiro Kamado to transform from an ordinary person into a swordsman who could use the Breathing Technique.

Luo Ya was just trying on a whim to see if he could teach the other person breathing techniques.

Roya began to explain the benefits of breathing techniques to Tanjiro Kamado, such as how even a small boy like him could unleash unimaginable power.

Tanjiro Kamado expressed his skepticism about this.

They chatted a lot along the way and soon arrived at the place where Tanjiro Kamado often cut down trees. Tanjiro Kamado also had a method for cutting down trees; he wouldn't keep working in one place, but would change places.

In most cases, they would try to go as far away as possible from spring to autumn, and would wait until winter to cut down trees if necessary.

Of course, Tanjiro Kamado wasn't the only charcoal seller on this mountain. Moreover, the trees that were cut down had many uses even if they weren't made into charcoal. This meant that this forest area was actually a resource area, an unmanaged resource area, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a first-come, first-served situation.

The rugged path led straight to the town. Tanjiro Kamado stopped at the foot of the mountain, then pointed to the woods beside him and smiled at Roya, saying, "This is where we cut down trees."

Luo Ya nodded, picked up the axe and swung it a few times. The axe didn't look very good, but it was surprisingly sturdy, and he figured it wouldn't break when he chopped with it.

Cutting down trees is undoubtedly extremely tiring and physically demanding. Even someone like Tanjiro Kamado couldn't cut down a tree in one go without resting.

Basically, they would swing an axe and chop halfway down the tree, then adjust their position and try to push it down. Then they would start cutting the tree into different parts and putting the branches and trunk into bamboo baskets one by one.

Although Roya said it was impossible for him to actually learn the skills of cutting down trees, he still watched with great interest.

Tanjiro Kamado's movements were very skillful; he was already a qualified lumberjack.

The thought of lumberjacks immediately reminded Luo Ya of Bald Qiang.

For some reason, his expression became somewhat interesting. Unfortunately, after looking around, he didn't say that a brown bear calling itself Xiong Da and Xiong Er might suddenly appear from that spot.

Watching the other person chop down the tree with amusement, Roya found it all quite amusing.

Bored, Roya started chatting with Tanjiro Kamado.

Luo Ya then laughed and said, "Kamado Tanjiro, you have a very keen sense of smell, don't you?"

When it came to noses, Tanjiro Kamado felt a little embarrassed, but he still proudly raised his head and explained to Roya with a smile, "I can use my nose to distinguish whether someone is kind or malicious, and I can also determine their location by smell."

As Tanjiro Kamado spoke, he continued chopping down the trees in front of him.

The wind chimes on Tanjiro Kamado's earrings swayed slightly with every movement he made, producing a crisp sound.

At first, Luo Ya didn't pay much attention, but he inexplicably felt mentally tired and even a little sleepy.

Luo Ya yawned lazily, basking in the warm sunlight, which made him feel all warm and cozy.

This is the perfect time for an afternoon nap. Normally, I would definitely take a nap.

Just wait? Tired?

Luo Ya was suddenly startled. His mental strength had always been strong, so how could he feel tired? Subconsciously, he looked up again.

But the surrounding scenery had undergone a dramatic change.

Luo Ya looked up and around. It was a mountaintop, a mountaintop that seemed very high, very close to the sky, and completely bathed in sunlight, making the sun look very big.

Roya subconsciously felt that his whereabouts had been exposed and that he had been hit by the Blood Demon Art released by Muzan Kibutsuji's subordinates.

But upon closer reflection, something felt off. Leaving aside whether such an ability existed in the original work, the ability to silently pull him into this illusion simply didn't exist.

Moreover, who would set up a Blood Demon illusion on a mountaintop completely exposed to sunlight?

Moreover, Roya is an extremely sensitive person. Coupled with the Sword King's intuition and the passive nature of the Sword Heart, Roya can quickly detect even the slightest killing intent or malice.

But since he was pulled in without his knowledge, it's highly likely that the other party didn't have any ill intentions towards him.

But what exactly is going on right now?

He was a little confused.

Luo Ya gently patted his cheeks, but felt no pain. He couldn't feel the heat emanating from the scorching sun either.

Unable to comprehend, Luo Ya frowned again, preparing to subconsciously use his mental power to break free from the illusion, but the next moment, a cold voice came from beside him.

"There are thirteen sword forms in total for the Breath of the Sun."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ya was slightly taken aback and looked toward the source of the sound.

This was a man with deep red hair, the edges of which were crimson, styled in a high ponytail, and with red irises above his eyes. He also had red markings on the left side of his face. He stood before Roya, holding a crimson knife in his hand.

This sword is also a Nichirin Blade, but unlike ordinary Nichirin Blades, it is a Crimson Blade.

The Nichirin Blade is deep red overall, making it look extremely extraordinary.

Demon Slayer has a set of three items for killing demons.

Crimson Blade, Transparent World, and Marks.

Each time one obtains one of them, their combat power will experience a qualitative leap.

As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni is such a person.

He was a child blessed by the heavens in this world, born with all three essential skills for slaying demons, and his strength reached a terrifying level. He was also the creator of all breathing techniques, and even created the "Sun Breathing" himself.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni once fought a decisive battle with Muzan Kibutsuji. With just one strike, he shrunk Muzan to a shred. The demon king was so terrified that his body split into a thousand pieces and scattered and fled. Yoriichi Tsugikuni never dared to appear in the human world again until his death.

Even such a person will eventually die of old age. Life is but a hundred years, and who can escape the shackles of lifespan?

Of course, Roya's lifespan is not just a hundred years. When he reaches that age, he will think of a way to try and achieve immortality.

The wind chimes rang out again, and the swordsman named Yoriichi Tsugikuni gripped the hilt of the crimson sword, which resembled the setting sun, and his hand moved.

He took a deep breath, exhaled, and a large amount of oxygen was inhaled by his opponent. Then, he began to swing his sword.

"Sun Breathing, First Form - Waltz." A cold voice came from the other party.

With swift movements, a blazing flame erupted from the blade, the red flames coiling around it as it slashed down in an arc that was nearly perfect. Yoriichi Tsugikuni's movements were fast yet extremely elegant, like a sprite dancing in the sun.

"Breath of the Sun. Second Form. Azure Sky."

The move flowed seamlessly from the previous one, the blade flipping and the movement remaining incredibly swift. As it flipped, the katana descended from top to bottom, slicing through a circle of fire – a vertical slash that resembled a circle drawn by the sun.

"Sun Breathing Third Form - Blazing Red Mirror"

"Sun Breathing Fourth Form - Phantom Sun Rainbow"

"Sun Breathing Fifth Type - Train"

"Sun Breathing, Land Form - Scorching Sun"

"Sun Breathing, Seventh Form - Yanghua Strike"

"Sun Breathing Eighth Form - Flying Wheel Blaze"

"Sun Breathing Ninth Form - Sunset Turn"

"The Breath of the Sun, Form 10 - Radiant Grace"

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

"Sun Breathing Form 12 - Flame Dance"

A cold voice kept coming, and the katana in his hand was constantly being swung. The flames that ignited seemed to be able to burn the atmosphere, and the flames on the blade illuminated everything around.

The elves dancing under the blazing sun are the spirits of the sun; this is already the sword dance of the elves.

Elegant and composed, yet it burns and scorches away all the filth of the world.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni was lucky; he was born a favorite of heaven, and everything that ordinary people longed for was within his grasp.

Yet, he was also unfortunate. Yoriichi Tsugikuni was born into the samurai family of Tsugikuni. Because Yoriichi had a strange mark on his head from birth, his father wanted to kill him, but Yoriichi's mother stopped him. When Yoriichi was two years old, his father told him, "You are an unblessed child. You should not have been born. You are an unlucky child who will bring disaster to the Tsugikuni family."
