Sharing the Heavens Starting from Douluo Continent

Chapter 56 Slaying Demons

Besides the examinees who were dressed in uniform and looked like extras, Dai Changsheng soon spotted four familiar figures.

One of them was a red-haired boy wearing a green pine-patterned haori, with a hideous scar on his left forehead and wearing the iconic sun ring earring. He was about the same age as Zenitsu Agatsuma, and it was obvious that he was the original male protagonist—Tanjiro Kamado!

The other one is a wild man wearing a boar headgear and with his upper body bare. Who else could it be but Hashibira Inosuke, who was raised by wild boars since childhood?

Another one is a boy with a rooster-comb hairstyle and a scar on his right cheek that extends to his nose. He should be Shinazugawa Genya.

Because Genya Shinazugawa was physically weak, he was unable to master breathing techniques and thus could not become a Pillar-level shinobi like his brother.

However, Genya Shinazugawa possesses a powerful bite force and special digestive organs, which gives him the ability to temporarily transform his own body into a demon after eating a demon. The stronger the demon he eats, the more his regenerative ability and power increase, making him an extremely rare demon eater.

As for the last figure, she was the only woman among the four, a cute and petite girl.

Judging from the butterfly hair ornament on the girl's head, she should be the adopted younger sister of the Butterfly Sisters and the stepson of the Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho - Kanao Tsuyuri!

The term "stepson" is a special designation used within the Demon Slayer Corps, referring to the successor of a Pillar-level powerhouse.

Those who are raised as heirs by the Pillars are usually people with extremely high cultivation talent and the potential to become Pillar-level powerhouses.

"Fellow swordsmen, we are sincerely grateful that you have taken the time to come and participate in the final selection tonight."

Just as Dai Changsheng was observing Tanjiro and the others, a melodious voice suddenly rang out, and two little girls dressed in purple kimonos walked out of a wooden house not far away, carrying lanterns.

The two little girls looked alike and wore the same clothes, except for the color of their hair, one black and one white. They were the children of Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The "little loli" with short black hair is named Teruya Ubuyashiki. He is the eldest son of the Ubuyashiki family, with two older sisters and two younger sisters.

Because the boys in the Ubuyashiki family were usually weak and sickly, they were raised as girls until the age of thirteen.

"In this Fujikasa Mountain, many demons captured by demon-slaying swordsmen are imprisoned, but they have no way to leave."

After drawing everyone's attention, Teruya Ubuyashiki explained expressionlessly, "Mount Fujikasake is covered with wisteria flowers that demons hate all year round, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. However, if you continue upwards from here, you will no longer see wisteria flowers, and demons will appear there. So please be careful."

Those who can survive for seven days on Mount Fujikasa will be considered to have passed the final selection.

"that……"

Just as everyone's expressions turned solemn, Dai Changsheng suddenly raised his hand and asked, "May I ask a question?"

"Swordsman, what's the matter?"

Facing the somewhat curious gaze of Ubuyashiki Teruya, Dai Changsheng grinned and said, "I want to ask how many demons each person can kill at most. If there's no limit, can I kill all those disgusting guys?"

"..."

As soon as Dai Changsheng finished speaking, the entire platform suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to him.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was the first to recover from his shock, revealing a faint smile as he said, "Swordsman, there's no limit to the number of demons each person can kill. If you truly have the ability to wipe out all the demons on Mount Fujikaze, then go ahead and kill them!"

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony!"

Dai Changsheng suddenly exerted force with his feet, leaving two deep footprints several inches deep in the ground, and transformed into a black afterimage as he rushed towards the mountaintop.

Soon, Dai Changsheng encountered his first ghost blocking his way. It was a male ghost that was nearly two meters tall, with two sharp horns on its head, a blue face, and fangs.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

Before the male ghost could react, Dai Changsheng had already swung his Sun Wheel Blade, instantly severing its limbs.

The two-horned ghost, whose body was instantly shaved into a ghost stick, suddenly changed his expression, not expecting Dai Changsheng to be so strong.

However, the two-horned ghost couldn't help but feel a surge of relief. Fortunately, Dai Changsheng was a novice and didn't sever his neck directly, giving him a chance to turn the tables.

"Huh? Why? Why won't my wound heal?"

Just as the two-horned demon was preparing to quickly regenerate his limbs and launch a sneak attack on Dai Changsheng while he was off guard, he discovered that his severed limbs could not be restored.

Only then did the two-horned demon realize with horror that its wound seemed to be covered by some kind of special energy, which, like a leech, prevented its wound from healing.

[Just as I predicted, the extremely yang Nine Yang True Qi has a strong restraining effect on ghosts.]

Seeing that the two-horned ghost's severed limbs were slow to heal, Dai Changsheng couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself.

The latest novel is first published here!

To some extent, the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Xuanming Divine Palm are similar in that the true energy cultivated is a different kind of true energy.

Since the extremely yin and cold Xuanming True Qi could torment Zhang Wuji to the point of wishing he were dead, then the extremely yang and strong Jiuyang True Qi should also be able to restrain ghosts that are afraid of sunlight.

"What the hell did you do to me, you damned demon hunter..."

"So noisy!"

Having confirmed his suspicions, Dai Changsheng didn't bother listening to the two-horned demon's foul language. He simply swung his sword and severed its head, turning it into a pile of ashes.

"Then let me have my fill of slaughter!"

A cold glint flashed in Dai Changsheng's eyes, and he revealed a somewhat manic smile as he began searching for traces of the other ghosts.

With his superhuman senses, Dai Changsheng quickly discovered the ghosts hiding in the shadows and watching him, and mercilessly severed their heads.

Because Dai Changsheng's entire family was killed by ghosts, he deeply loathed ghosts and wished he could exterminate them all.

If it weren't for Dai Changsheng regaining his memories of his past life, even if he encountered a good ghost like Mi Douzi, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist killing him!

Besides his aversion to demons, Dai Changsheng had another goal: to kill all the demons on Fujisaku Mountain so as to attract the attention of Ubuyashiki Kagaya as soon as possible and inherit the title of the new "Sound Pillar".

Compared to ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, the Pillar-level powerhouses are the true pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. Only they can slay the Twelve Demon Moons and even threaten Muzan Kibutsuji!

Therefore, Pillar-level powerhouses have great rights, not only being more free than ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, but also being able to customize their own exclusive Nichirin Blades.
