Demon Slayer: My breathing technique went awry after Nezuko pushed me down.

The phantoms dodged and fled.

They leap, crouch, or retreat, their movements so agile they seem like phantoms.

However, five were unable to dodge in time and were cut and pierced by the silk threads, then with a "poof," they turned into pink mist and dissipated.

The remaining seven were intact and, without any hesitation, accelerated their attack once more!

He looked exhausted and his face was very pale.

He killed many swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps.

He never paid any attention to those straightforward, brute-force idiots.

But this guy in front of me... his moves are too bizarre!

It's not a crushing power, nor a surprise attack based on speed, but rather this strange ability that blurs the lines between reality and illusion.

This made him feel like he wasn't fighting a swordsman, but rather engaging in a positional bloodbath with a demon possessing blood demon magic!

Faced with the seven figures attacking again, Lei, unaware of their strength, dared not confront them head-on and could only release his spider silk once more.

This time, he increased the scope and density!

The silk threads are no longer just a flat net, but emerge simultaneously from the ground, from the air, and from all directions, forming a three-dimensional cage that envelops all the figures within!

Strangulate!

“Bang bang bang bang!!!”

There was no sound of threads cutting flesh, only a dense series of popping sounds like balloons.

All seven figures were cut into pieces and vanished into powdery mist.

Is it resolved?

The pink mist began to dissipate.

Lei stared warily at the center of the fog, waiting for Shirakawa Yu's true form to appear.

Or, wait for his body to appear...

The fog is getting thinner.

Finally, the edge of the open space could be seen clearly.

But there were no corpses, no bloodstains, and no Shirakawa Yu.

Only Tanjiro and Nezuko were on high alert.

His pupils suddenly contracted from exhaustion.

He turned his head sharply and looked at the other side of the open space.

There... the spider sister who was kneeling there... is also gone.

A vein bulged on his forehead from exhaustion.

Then came the second one, the third one...

He finally understood.

No wonder there were no real figures among those shadowy figures...

Because the real body didn't participate in the attack at all!

Bai Chuanyu's target from the beginning was not him, but Spider Sister!

Those phantoms, those sounds of swords being drawn, those seemingly fierce attacks... it was all for the purpose of seizing the opportunity to capture someone!

"asshole......"

The sound of exhaustion was squeezed out from between his teeth.

He slowly turned around, his red eyes fixed on Tanjiro and Nezuko, his killing intent solidifying.

"You... all have to die."

Tanjiro gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and took a deep breath.

Nezuko tensed up as well, a flicker of fire burning in her pink eyes.

Tanjiro could not comment on his senior's actions of putting his opponent on edge before leaving.

At this moment, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward!

Chapter 62 You should call me Dad!

On the other side, Spider Sister was running wildly through the forest.

She could hear her own heavy breathing, and the crisp sound of the dry branches breaking beneath her feet.

And you can hear the deliberately deliberate footsteps behind you.

They moved at a steady pace, maintaining a fixed distance.

She turned around, and for the first time, panic appeared on her usually cold face. "Why are you pursuing me?"

Because you have cough syrup (crossed out).

Bai Chuanyu stood a dozen meters behind her, holding Xiaozhi, without answering, a playful smile on his face.

"If we have to fight, Lei should be your opponent!" Spider Sister's voice became even hoarse with urgency.

"Aren't you afraid of wasting your time on a nobody like me? Aren't you afraid of exhausting and killing your comrades?!"

"Kill? What can we use to kill?" Bai Chuanyu chuckled and spoke casually.

And at this very moment—

"boom!!!"

The night sky behind them was suddenly half illuminated by a towering crimson flame.

Even from this distance, the heat wave can be faintly felt.

Spider Sister paused, then turned around in surprise.

She heard, amidst the firelight that illuminated the night sky, a faint, furious roar.

Is it...tired?

Shirakawa Yu also glanced back at the raging flames. Sure enough, Nezuko, now with supplies, was still incredibly powerful...

Tanjiro has now been practicing the Normal Breathing Technique for over two months, far from the rookie he was in the original story who had just passed the selection.

The same goes for Nezuko. Although she hasn't experienced much combat, the title of "Leg Pillar" didn't come from nowhere.

Combat experience is something you can absolutely learn by doing!

Moreover, during the two months Nezuko spent at Tamayo's house, she didn't just sleep all day, chasing butterflies and digging for earthworms...

She used the energy-replenishing potion specifically for ghosts.

She also learned the powerful Blood Explosion Technique with Tamayo's help.

Even the half-finished, hand-forged Crimson Blade is now usable under Shirakawa Yu's guidance.

The two of them combined...

Winning is exhausting? That's a bit uncertain.

But hold them off? Survive?

Absolutely no problem.

"Don't worry about them." Shirakawa Yu's voice drew Spider Sister's attention back.

He suddenly appeared three meters in front of her, blocking her path.

"Now is the time to think about your own future."

Spider Sister suddenly stopped, her chest heaving. Although she remained calm, the panting of a young girl was always alluring.

She clenched her teeth so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

She had already realized that the other party was simply driving her in this direction.

If he really wanted to catch him, he could have succeeded when he was near Lei.

"What exactly do you want?" she asked hoarsely.

Shirakawa Yu did not answer immediately.

He put the little branch he had been holding on the ground and casually patted its pert bottom.

"Oh!" Xiaozhi exclaimed softly, her face turning bright red instantly, and she hurriedly steadied herself.

“Tell her,” Bai Chuanyu then looked at Spider Sister, his tone flat, “what I want her to do.”

Xiaozhi hurriedly took out the small bamboo tube she had been holding in her mouth, and quickly stepped back two steps to distance herself from Bai Chuanyu.

The smell of that thin blood was awful; she couldn't speak properly when she got close.

Then, clutching the small bamboo tube, she looked at Spider Sister and stammered, "Experiment... it's for doing experiments... you won't die."

“Experiment?” Spider Sister repeated hoarsely, then sneered, “Slicing, or dismemberment and regeneration? Mom, you’re so naive it makes me want to laugh.”

The words "slice" and "dismember" were as cold as icicles, making Xiaozhi visibly shiver.

But she still took a breath and mustered her courage to retort, "Master said it's mainly about drawing blood and stuff!"

"Master? Blood draw? Hahaha~~~!" Spider Sister laughed so hard her shoulders shook, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"You're quick to change your tune. But do you really think he'll be as good as he claims? Humans experimenting on ghosts... just by drawing blood? Are you trying to make me laugh?"

Xiaozhi's eyes widened, her cheeks puffed out: "Even if, even if it's more than that, I'm still willing! Master is the first person to be kind to me, even if I die I will—"

A large hand covered her head, interrupting her rambling and ruffling her hair.

"What do you mean by 'dying'? It's bad luck."

Bai Chuanyu fixed his gaze on the spider sister and said truthfully, "Xiaozhi is right, it's definitely not just about drawing blood. Some experiments... are quite risky."

Spider Sister raised an eyebrow and gave her a "look" look.

But then Shirakawa Yu said, "So, that's why I came to find you."
