"As expected, the sword is still the easiest to use."

The sound of a blade slicing through flesh echoed continuously, and a chilling glint flashed in the silent night. It was clearly an ordinary fruit knife, yet it could easily pierce the skin of the ghosts, cutting into their skin as easily as slicing tofu.

They screamed and cried out in anguish, but could only watch as their flesh was cut away again and again.

Even where flesh and blood are cut, they will wriggle rapidly and eventually grow new flesh and blood, but they can't withstand the speed of Roya's knife.

The title of "Sword God Style" is well-deserved. Roya himself is on the verge of becoming a Sword King-level super expert. Naturally, he would give this piece of trash, who is not even as good as a mid-level swordsman, a good beating.

They gathered the four corpses together, then took out a red rope that had fallen from the ceiling and tied the four heads together, attaching it to the central tree.

Red, festive lanterns danced in the wind. Roya looked calmly at the four struggling heads and revealed a wicked smile.

Roya's technique was excellent; he used the tortoise shell binding method, the kind that tightens the more the opponent struggles. Whenever the opponent showed any sign of struggling to escape, Roya would casually deliver a sword god-style move.

Chapter 108 Leaving

Luo Ya approached Xiao Die, whom he had met at the beginning, pointed at her mouth, and said, "I ask, you answer, understand?"

The other party nodded quickly, and Roya asked, "What's going on? You mentioned Kibutsuji Muzan earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaodie subconsciously looked at the woman in red beside her. The woman in red glared angrily at Luo Ya, who then thrust the fruit knife he was holding toward her heart.

The woman in red winced in pain and dared not glare at Roya again.

Seeing that the woman in red had calmed down, Luo Ya spoke again: "What's your name? Oh, Xiao Die, right? Hmm, it's a very nice name, but... you don't want to..."

He then plunged the fruit knife that had just been stuck into the woman in red into the ground.

For a moment, the ghost named Xiaodie was devastated. She nodded frantically, and only then did Luo Ya untie the ropes binding her head. Holding her head, he said, "Now, stop talking nonsense and tell me everything you know."

Xiao Die's pretty face was covered in tears. She said weakly, "My lord, tell me that he has taken a fancy to a body and then wants me to take care of his offspring."

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow, somewhat incredulously, and said, "So, that means, Kibutsuji Muzan, him?"

Xiaodie nodded and said, "He ate your whole family."

For a moment, Luo Ya fell silent. His mother went out to get her hair done and didn't come home at night, and his father liked to do business and was often away from home.

The two of them together are so unlucky that they'll be targeted by Muzan. What's going on? I just transmigrated and my parents are already dead, and my father's identity has been taken over by the Demon King.

Roya looked at the four demons expressionlessly, still somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Did Muzan Kibutsuji send just these few to deal with me?"

Xiaodie said somewhat aggrievedly, "How could we possibly gain the favor of the adults? We are the weakest ghosts, only used to clean up minor troubles."

Xiaodie's meaning was simple: she didn't know that Luo Ya had such great strength, or perhaps no one could have imagined that this somewhat thin boy in front of her would have such great strength.

However, that's what they say, but the actual situation is another matter.

They were really unlucky this time, as they happened to run into Luo Ya who had traveled through time. If things had gone according to the original timeline, the original owner of this body would definitely have died.

Looking at the sky, it was already midnight, the darkest time of day, but dawn was not far off. Luo Ya didn't bother with any more words and said to the two of them, "Dawn is coming soon."

Xiaodie looked at Luo Ya with pleading eyes. Luo Ya looked back at her, and saw a pair of cold, crimson-gold eyes that revealed no emotion whatsoever.

She opened her mouth and begged for mercy, "Please let me go, I promise I will never eat people again, really, look at my skinny arms and legs, I have hardly ever eaten anyone."

Ignoring Xiaodie's pleas for mercy, Luo Ya took out the rope again, stuffed it into her mouth, tied her to a tree, and began to look back at the mess in the scene.

The people had all run away, leaving only a pile of meat and wine that hadn't been tasted.

Luo Ya took out the wine, poured himself a glass, and took a small sip. A spicy sensation came over him, somewhat like baijiu, but the taste was much worse, as if it had been distilled.

He glanced at the dishes scattered on the ground, shook his head with some regret, then turned his gaze back to the four female ghosts and said indifferently, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. You've all become like this, and you still want to live? It's meaningless."

He moved a chair over and chatted casually with the other person, while Luo Ya sat in the chair waiting for dawn.

Almost an hour later, the darkness of the night was pierced by the first ray of light, and warm sunlight shone down from the sky onto the earth. The warm light shone on Roya, making him feel all warm and cozy.

Conversely, the four ghost heads tied to the tree began to struggle in agony, but the moment the light shone on them, they turned to ashes and vanished. The ghost blood on Roya's body also turned to ashes and vanished completely under the sunlight.

Having not slept all night, Roya yawned and got up from his chair somewhat bored. At that moment, several guards and servants ran over from the door, looking at the bloodstains on Roya's face that were gradually fading away with fear.

With a blank expression, Roya said to the guard beside him, "Bring all the valuables in the house."

The servant stared blankly at Roya for a moment, then nodded subconsciously and walked into the house.

Roya yawned. He had originally planned to stay at home. He had come to the world of Demon Slayer, but his choice of a rich kid identity was problematic. If he stayed any longer, Muzan might come knocking on his door one day.

With his current strength, he would basically be worn down to death by Muzan.

While it's not certain that we'll lose, winning is out of the question, let alone killing the opponent.

The most urgent task now is to go out and gather more intelligence.

Holding the heavy package, Luo Ya opened it and took a quick look. It contained mostly jade and gold items, not a small quantity, but not a large amount either.

Luo Ya asked the other person, "Do you still have money at home?"

The other person said with a bitter face, "You've already spent almost all the money in the house. Why don't you wait for the master to come back? He should still have a lot of money on him."

Roya curled his lip. The other party was clearly a master strategist, telling him to wait for Muzan Kibutsuji to return and then start the final battle ahead of schedule? Roya said expressionlessly, "Forget it."

After saying that, he picked up the package and walked out of the house. The servant stared blankly at the departing figure, then suddenly seemed to remember something and rushed in front of Luo Ya, blocking his way.

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow and asked the other person, "What?"

The attendant asked Roya, "Are you leaving? Leaving this place?"

Roya nodded and said, "Yes."

The attendant quickly asked, "Could you take me with you?"

Luo Ya tilted his head and looked the other person up and down, then suddenly laughed and said, "Why should I take you with me? Besides, the place I'm going to is very dangerous. Here's a piece of advice: leave here as soon as possible."

After saying that, Roya swaggered off toward the road in the distance.

Soon after, a Demon Slayer Corps squad arrived to investigate, only to find a scene of utter chaos and dents in the ground, along with a chipped fruit knife.

"What is that... this fruit knife?"

His expression was somewhat confused, and he didn't quite believe what the various clues pointed to.

As Roya walked, he recalled the plot of Demon Slayer.

The plot of Demon Slayer is even simpler; it's just a simple story of 'demons eating humans, and humans killing demons'.

A thousand years ago, the first demon, Muzan Kibutsuji, was born, and other demons were created from his blood.

Demons possess life force that cannot be killed by ordinary methods and power that surpasses that of ordinary people. They feed on humans. In order to defend against the attacks of demons, the Demon Slayer Corps was formed to hunt demons and protect ordinary people.

The Demon Slayer Corps possesses a power called 'breathing techniques,' which involves adjusting breathing rhythms to inhale large amounts of oxygen into the body, integrating it into the bloodstream to enhance cardiopulmonary function and gain the power to rival demons.

The method to kill the ghost is very simple.

One method is to exploit the ghost's fear of sunlight by dragging it into the sunlight, whereupon the ghost will naturally turn to ashes.

Secondly, they used a Nichirin Blade, forged from a type of stone used by the Demon Slayer Corps, to behead the demons.

Both of these can effectively deal a fatal blow to the opponent, but apart from that, other weapons are not very effective against the ghosts.

Among the demons are powerful ones, known as the Twelve Demon Moons, who are further divided into Upper Moon and Lower Moon, with distinct strengths and ranks.

The same applies to the Demon Slayer Corps; there are distinctions in rank and strength within the organization.

Demon slayers belonging to the Demon Slayer Corps are generally divided into ten ranks: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and K. Rank A is the highest and Rank K is the lowest. Generally speaking, the higher the rank, the stronger the demon slayer, and the better their treatment, status, and influence within the Demon Slayer Corps.

However, Class A is not the highest rank in the Demon Slayer Corps.

The Demon Slayer Corps has one head and nine Pillars.

The head of the Demon Slayer Corps is the person who leads the entire Corps, playing the role of a kind of AI, and basically everything in the Demon Slayer Corps is presided over and controlled by the head of the Corps.

The Pillars are nine highly respected swordsmen who support the Demon Slayer Corps; they are the strongest beings, surpassing all ranks within the Corps.

They are all named after the breathing style they used.

For example, in this world, there are five basic breathing techniques: fire, water, wind, thunder, and rock. A pillar who has mastered the corresponding breathing technique and reached the pinnacle of that style will refer to himself by the style of the breathing technique he is practicing.

Pillars who use the Breath of Flame are called Flame Pillars.

A column that uses water breathing is called a water column.

Similarly, the nine pillars are named after the breathing style they use.

Of course, while the Pillars are powerful, it is still too much of a challenge for them to face the Upper Moons. The current strength of the Pillars is basically between the Lower Moons and the Upper Moons. Apart from the Stone Pillar, there are very few beings who can fight the Upper Moons one-on-one.

This is the current awkward situation of the Demon Slayer Corps. Their own foundation has been disrupted, and they are simply unable to contend with the Demon King.

The anime Demon Slayer also has another name, Pillar Slayer. It's not just one or two Pillars who died; at its worst, the entire Demon Slayer Corps was almost wiped out.

Thinking of this, Luo Ya couldn't help but sigh. Ghosts are truly filthy creatures in this world. They transform from humans into other immortal monsters, tearing at human flesh and sucking human blood. They are truly ugly creatures.

As the morning sun bathed the land, Luo Ya unknowingly walked into a village. There were many villages like this; you could see small hamlets like this every short distance. The people in the hamlets looked at Luo Ya with strange expressions.

Chapter 109 Ganlu Temple Mili

In fact, Luo Ya was already somewhat used to these gazes. These gazes might carry a hint of envy or even a hint of admiration, and most of them came from adult men and women.

Luo Ya was wearing a loose kimono, revealing his slender and tall figure and his handsome face. His slightly upturned eyebrows and high nose were so beautiful, especially his eyes, which were as bright as gold. It was these eyes that greatly enhanced the boy's charm.

The loose kimono concealed the boy's not particularly robust physique. Roya was the kind of boy with an excellent temperament. Although he was usually a carefree boy, as long as Roya didn't take the initiative to speak, he was basically a gentle and refined young master from a noble family.

Now he gives people a feeling of warmth and comfort.
