Demon Slayer: I am a Demon

The man leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, wearing a sleeveless tan shirt that revealed his extremely muscular arms. His hair had been carefully shaved from his forehead to the top of his head, forming his signature chonmage hairstyle.

At this moment, its scarlet eyes were fixed on Su Mu, filled with hostility.

"Don't you know this area is my hunting grounds? Aren't you aware of the rules?"

The man stood up and slowly walked towards Su Mu: "Do you know how much trouble your arrival has caused me?"

These past few days, the Demon Slayer Corps' search of the city has made hunting difficult for him, for fear that the pack of hyenas might have their eyes on him.

After all, being targeted by these Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen is like being stuck with a piece of chewing gum—you just can't shake them off.

The root of all this is this country bumpkin, this ill-mannered ghost, who lured these hyenas here.

These rural demons are incredibly brutal, and their hunting methods are extremely crude. They often break down doors at night, causing a great commotion, which quickly attracts the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The ghosts in their city are different. They hunt with methods in mind, and their targets are homeless people, children sold to the city... prey that won't attract attention even if they die.

He had always been at home in this town, but now, the demons from the countryside had attracted the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, making his life difficult.

"I'll be leaving in the next couple of days."

Su Mu lowered his head slightly and spoke calmly.

Demons are generally solitary creatures, and each demon has a strong sense of territory and its own hunting grounds.

Clearly, he had trespassed into the hunting grounds of the demon before him.

"Oh……"

The man sneered, "Is simply leaving enough? Do you know that I've been starving for the past few days because of your arrival?"

Because of the Demon Slayer Corps' search for swordsmen, it hasn't dared to hunt for the past few days.

Su Mu didn't speak, he just stood there quietly.

The man was furious and wanted to beat Su Mu up, but he was worried that making a commotion would attract the Demon Slayer Corps. As for killing Su Mu, he never even considered it. It wasn't that he didn't want to kill him, but because of the immortality of demons, it was very difficult for them to kill each other.

Of course, while it's difficult for ghosts to kill each other, it's not impossible.

For example, one method is to devour the other party.

In this way, the opponent can naturally be killed.

Moreover, by devouring the opponent, one will become even stronger.

However, it is not allowed for evil spirits to devour each other. Any evil spirit that dares to do so will be executed by the "adult" himself.

No ghost dared to disobey the 'Master's' orders.

Almost all the demons who dared to disobey the orders of the "adult" disappeared from this world.

Although they cannot kill each other, it is very easy for demons to torture each other, especially since the demons' immortality and strong vitality make the torture even more painful and perverse.

Therefore, the evil spirit was not worried that Su Mu would be ungrateful. After all, it could sense that Su Mu's aura was very weak. This was the weakest among the evil spirits, and only those who had never devoured 'flesh and blood' had such an aura.

Such weak demons are not even killed directly by some swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. Instead, they are captured and taken to Mount Fujikasane to be used as subjects for new recruits' trials.

The evil spirit strode forward brazenly, standing before Su Mu and staring at the weak ghost before him: "Get out of my territory today..."

However, halfway through his sentence, the demon's gaze suddenly fell on Kanao Aoi, who was standing next to Su Mu. Looking at the girl's delicate body, the demon unconsciously licked its lips.

"Such sweet food."

Suddenly, the demon's eyes filled with greed. Because of the Demon Slayer Corps' close surveillance and search of the city these past few days, he hadn't been able to hunt properly, and his stomach was growling with hunger.

Sensing the demon's gaze, Su Mu reached out and pulled Kanao Suhana behind him, then looked up and quietly stared at the demon that had already approached him.

Seeing the 'food' hiding behind Su Mu, the evil spirit reluctantly withdrew its gaze and looked up at Su Mu: "Is this the 'prey' you caught today? It seems to be a rather docile 'prey'."

Normally, when "food" is caught, it will fight back fiercely. Although most of these resistances are ineffective against evil spirits, it is rare to see one as docile as the one before us.

"So, as an apology for your intrusion into my territory, let the 'prey' you captured serve as your punishment."

The demon's throat twitched involuntarily; it was so hungry that it couldn't wait to enjoy its meal.

Almost instantly after speaking, the demon reached out to grab Kanao Aoi, who was hiding behind Su Mu, completely ignoring Su Mu who was still standing in front of her.

In fact, he didn't take Su Mu too seriously. For demons who follow the law of the jungle, it's common for weaker demons to obey stronger ones.

And he was that powerful evil spirit.

However, an angry expression immediately appeared on the demon's face because Su Mu blocked its hand reaching for the food.

How dare a weak demon defy him?

At this moment, he wished he could immediately burst out and torture the brat in front of him, but he was considering that making a noise would attract the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps, and if he were targeted by that pack of hyenas, it would be troublesome.

So the demon finally suppressed its anger slightly: "Alright, I'll give you one of my thighs later. This is my last act of mercy."

Clearly, the evil spirit dared to be so bold because it thought the other party wouldn't part with its "food".

Some hungry demons are sometimes blinded by their own desires, their eyes fixed solely on the flesh and blood.

Su Mu didn't speak, but reached his other hand to his waist, where there was a long, strip-shaped object wrapped in cloth, which looked like a weapon like a sword.

This is not surprising. With the existence of the "No Swords" law, even the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps will not openly expose their Nichirin Blades. They will wrap them in strips of cloth or hide them in other ways.

The evil spirit naturally noticed Su Mu's subtle movements and roughly guessed that there was a weapon at his waist, but it didn't care too much.

Unlike humans, even the most powerful person can be killed by a young child if they are not careful.

But for ghosts, the probability of this happening is almost non-existent.

The immortality of ghosts means that it is very difficult for evil ghosts to kill each other. Even if Su Mu takes out his weapon and sneaks up on him when he is not paying attention, he can only injure him, but not kill him.

Doing so will not only fail to solve the problem, but will also make him angrier and invite even more frantic retaliation.

Therefore, the evil spirits were not worried that Su Mu had the guts.

At this moment, under the confident gaze of the evil spirit, Su Mu's hand rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Whoosh!"

The blade, faintly radiating a scorching heat, was drawn from the strip of cloth, its flame-like light filling the demon's crimson pupils.

Everything became unbelievable and terrifying.
