Infinite: Start as a ghost

However, he didn't have time to enjoy that feeling right now. After dealing with the river ghost, he hurriedly rushed back to the town.

Five minutes later, Jiang Jiu arrived in the town.

The entire town was peaceful and everything seemed normal.

The Demon Slayer Corps members are still patrolling the streets, and all the residents are inside their houses.

This was a requirement of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the residents also went to bed early for their own safety, imposing a curfew on themselves.

The Demon Slayer Corps is an organization hidden in the shadows. The residents don't know their true identities and think they are police officers, which is why they cooperate with them.

The Demon Slayer Corps refers to murderers, not demons, so they are afraid but do not cause panic.

A serial killer is a human being, and no matter what, a human is never as terrifying as a ghost.

Seeing the Demon Slayer Corps members on their normal patrol, Jiang Jiu breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Where is Kanao?" Jiang Jiu asked someone casually.

This person had clearly already heard the Demon Slayer Corps boy tell him that Jiang Jiu was a demon, and asked impatiently, "What do you want with Lady Kanao?"

"I really don't know why the higher-ups sent you down here. It's bad luck."

Jiang Jiu didn't argue with him: "I have something to discuss with her."

The Demon Slayer Corps member said coldly, "Is there something you can't tell us? Why do you have to go to Lady Kanao?"

Jiang Jiu's face darkened (his face was hidden by a hood): "If I remember correctly, I should be in charge of this operation."

"I don't expect you to follow my instructions, but I hope you can at least cooperate in the most basic way."

“There are other ghosts in this town, so I hope you won’t act rashly and endanger ordinary people.”

"You should know that I am also a ghost. Having seen too much blood of ordinary people, I cannot guarantee that I can still control myself. I hope you understand the importance of priorities."

The Demon Slayer Corps members looked reluctant, but were clearly persuaded. Just as they were about to speak, an explosion suddenly rang out.

"boom……"

A house was destroyed, creating thick smoke.

Kanao's figure flew backward from the smoke and crashed into another room.

Jiang Jiu rushed to Kanao and helped her up.

Her forehead was covered in blood, and there was a shallow scratch on her arm.

Three figures gradually emerged from the thick fog. The one in the lead was quite burly, at least three meters tall.

The burly giant demon shouted, "Come out, all of you! There's no need to pretend anymore. Kill and eat all these Demon Slayer Corps members, then we'll move to another place."

"Yes, Master Shishi."

A voice answered from another room, and someone came out.

Chapter 35 Completing the Mission

"Are you alright?" Jiang Jiu asked with concern.

"It's alright, this demon is very strong and not easy to deal with," Kanao said, sounding somewhat distressed.

If she hadn't used the blade to block the previous attack, she might have lost her head by now.

Upon seeing Shiki's appearance, the Demon Slayer Corps rushed forward.

Jiang Jiu shouted, "All of you, get out of the way!"

"Hmph." The boy who had previously received Jiang Jiu and Kanao ignored them and rushed forward anyway.

When faced with the young boy, Shi Shi simply smiled dismissively.

"Kuye, you go."

"Yes, Lord Shishi." One of the demon subordinates grinned maliciously: "Blood Demon Art: Falling Leaves."

The surrounding leaves suddenly hardened as the withered leaves shouted, and they shot towards the Demon Slayer Corps members.

The boy watched helplessly as a withered leaf flew towards his forehead, completely unable to avoid it.

"Wind Breathing, Third Form, Sunny Breeze Tree..."

Just when everyone was in danger, Jiang came to their rescue.

With just one hand, he blew the wind and scattered the leaves from the sky with his sword skills, and no one was injured in the slightest.

"Huh, this guy's pretty strong," Kuye said in surprise.

Upon closer inspection, Shi Shi exclaimed, "You... are a ghost?"

Jiang Jiu put Kanao down and let her gather the members behind her.

Several ghosts, led by Shishi, came up behind him.

The two forces were roughly equal in number and appeared to be evenly matched.

"If I weren't there, the outcome would indeed be unpredictable," Jiang Jiu said with a smile.

Actually, there was a bit of exaggeration in what he said. If he weren't there, the Demon Slayer Corps would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Apart from Kanao and Shiki, who can hold their own, the others are simply no match for them.

You should know that every ghost here knows Blood Demon Magic.

The time of the meal was when the previous waning crescent moon was present. How could he possibly subdue a demon who didn't know blood demon magic?

"What do you mean?" Shi Shi laughed. "You mean, with you here, you can solve our problem?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head: "Not when I'm here, but when I'm all alone."

"None of you can withstand a single blow from me."

This wasn't arrogance on his part; no true Lower Moon demon could withstand a single blow from him, let alone a demon who had retired to the second tier.

"Arrogant." Shi Shi made his move: "Blood Demon Art: Gluttony..."

He laughed loudly, "Although I don't know that you are a ghost but want to help humans, it doesn't stop you from dying here tonight."

His stomach split open, turning into a gaping maw of abyss.

The giant mouth has sharp teeth on both sides, which look even sharper than a saw.

All the Demon Slayer Corps members lost control of their steps and were forcibly pulled by the suction force.

Especially Kanao.

She was a girl, and although she was quite strong, her strength seemed to have been inherited from Kocho O-nin, not to mention that she had been injured before.

Seeing their leader make a move, the other ghosts also unleashed their own blood demon techniques.

"Blood Demon Art / Rock Defense Art..."

"Blood Demon Art: Flame Grip..."

"Blood Demon Technique O Quicksand Technique..."

"Blood Demon Art..."

Each skill is used, creating a very grand visual effect.

"Ha, all show and no substance."

With a single swing of his blade, Jiang Jiu Ri vanished from sight.

"Thunder Breathing, Fourth Form, Far Thunder..."

When he reappeared, he was already behind the six ghosts.

The blood demon magic of several ghosts disappeared one after another; their skills had been interrupted by Jiang Jiu.

This scene seemed unbelievable to everyone.

The boy's eyes widened: "How can he be so strong?"

Kanao was also surprised: "Pillar..."

He was horrified when he ate, but it was too late; all four of his limbs had been severed by the Nichirin Blade and could not be restored.

The other ghosts had already had their heads cut off, and their forms were dissipating.

"you……"

Jiang Jiu looked at Kanao: "Are you alright?"

Kanao replied, "No..."

"Okay," Jiang Jiu said, "You take them and leave first."

Kanao knew what he was going to do, and without saying a word, she led everyone away from there.

After everyone left, he slowly approached Shishi step by step.

Shi Shi looked at Jiang Jiu, who was walking towards him, with horror: "What are you going to do? Why don't you kill me?"

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I want you to tell some things to the other waning crescent moons."

While eating, he asked, "What?"

“Kibutsuji…” Jiang Jiu paused, almost saying the name of the Demon King again.

"The Ghost King wants to abandon all the waning crescent moons because they are too weak."

"If he ever decides to recall the Lower Crescent Moon, never go back."

"What do you mean?" Shi Shi asked. "Why are you telling me this?"

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment, and it seemed that he had no way to restrict his eating time and ensure that he would listen to him after he left.

“It’s meaningless, you can go die now.” He decided to personally find a waning crescent moon and have them spread the news.

After saying that, he sucked the ghost blood off Shi Shi's body to send him on his final journey.
