Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

Looking at the purple-eyed, black-haired girl in front of him, with a touch of purple at the end of her bangs, a butterfly hairpin on her head, less than 1.6 meters tall, a gentle smile on her face, but constantly in a state of anger, her heart filled with rage, Aran Myou Ang felt a pang of pity for Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu Kocho's parents were killed by demons, and later her sister also died at the hands of demons.

However, her body was so weak that even using a sword, she couldn't cut off a demon's head, and she could only use poison to kill them.

Eventually, after ingesting wisteria poison for more than a year and being swallowed by Douma, she sacrificed her life to barely kill Douma and avenge her sister.

Calculating the time, it was almost the time for her first ingestion of wisteria poison.

Shinobu Kocho frowned slightly because she saw a very strange emotion in the eyes of the person in front of her.

It was as if the other person had known her for a long time.

Shinobu Kocho tilted her head slightly and asked:

"Um, why are you looking at me with that kind of look? Have we met before?"

Aran Myou Ang shook his head.

"No, we haven't."

Shinobu Kocho pouted and said, "How strange."

"As a guest of Lord Master, your strength must be very strong."

"Can we spar a little?"

After the battle with Pei Lang ended last time, Kyojuro Rengoku was sent to the Butterfly Mansion for treatment and recovery.

During this time, Shinobu Kocho learned about Aran Myou Ang's existence and his strength through Kyojuro Rengoku's narration.

He was able to suppress Lower Moon Two and Kyojuro Rengoku, who had almost reached the strength of a Pillar, with just his aura from a hundred meters away.

And he didn't even affect Mitsuri Kanroji beside him.

This was truly amazing and terrifying!

"Spar? Sure!"

"But if I win, can you promise me one request?" Aran Myou Ang asked.

"What request?" Shinobu Kocho asked suspiciously.

"Tell me first if you can agree to it."

After pondering for a moment, Shinobu Kocho said;

"I agree, as long as you win against me, I will grant you one request."

"But the premise is that it is within my ability, and it cannot be anything like murder or arson, nor can you make any rude requests to me!"

Aran Myou Ang smiled slightly and said:

"Of course."

"Then what if I win?" Shinobu Kocho asked back.

"If you win, I'll tell you who the demon you've always wanted to kill is."

Hearing this, Shinobu Kocho immediately exploded, the smile on her face disappeared, and veins popped out on her forehead.

The anger she usually suppressed was released.

She drew her Nichirin Blade and pointed it at Aran Myou Ang.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

After noticing Shinobu Kocho's anger, Mitsuri, although she knew that Shinobu Kocho definitely couldn't hurt Aran Myou Ang, still instantly came in front of Aran Myou Ang and also drew her Nichirin Blade, deflecting the Nichirin Blade in Shinobu Kocho's hand.

Shinobu Kocho was about to open her mouth and angrily ask what Aran Myou Ang meant, but she was a little surprised to see her Nichirin Blade deflected.

How fast!

Her speed was actually not inferior to her own!

And her strength was even greater than her own!

Mitsuri glared at Shinobu Kocho unhappily and said:

"Don't even think about hurting Myou Ang-niichan!"

"Are you Mitsuri Kanroji?" Shinobu Kocho asked in surprise.

"You know me?"

Hearing Mitsuri Kanroji's answer, Shinobu Kocho was even more dumbfounded.

According to Kyojuro Rengoku, wasn't Mitsuri Kanroji just a 'Kanoe'-ranked Demon Slayer?

Although it seemed that her muscle density was eight times that of ordinary people, and Kyojuro Rengoku even intended to take her as his successor.

But it shouldn't be this strong, right?

Her speed was comparable to her own, and her strength was also stronger than her own, wasn't that definitely a Pillar-level combat power?

Where was she just 'Kanoe'?

A month ago, Mitsuri, who hadn't practiced breathing techniques and hadn't sparred with Aran Myou Ang, was indeed Kanoe-ranked, but after learning the breathing technique and sparring with Aran Myou Ang day and night, Mitsuri's strength improved rapidly.

After a month of practicing breathing techniques and arm wrestling with Aran Myou Ang, using all sorts of grappling techniques until exhaustion, Mitsuri was no longer the same as she used to be.

Aran Myou Ang patted Mitsuri's shoulder and said:

"Mitsuri, put your sword away."

"It's all a misunderstanding."

Since Myou Ang-niichan had spoken, Mitsuri naturally put her Nichirin Blade back and retreated to Aran Myou Ang's side.

Aran Myou Ang looked at Shinobu Kocho in front of him and said:

"Do you have a lot of questions?"

"Beat me, and I'll answer your questions. Otherwise, you have to grant me a request."

"Hmph! Come with me!" Shinobu Kocho sheathed her Nichirin Blade.

She led Aran Myou Ang towards the Butterfly Mansion's rehabilitation dojo, with Mitsuri following closely behind.

Shoes were not allowed in the dojo. The three of them took off their shoes and entered the dojo.

Shinobu Kocho, wearing purple socks that covered her small jade feet, walked towards the weapon rack where the wooden swords were placed.

Mitsuri, wearing white silk stockings, walked towards a chair in the distance and sat down to watch the battle.

Aran Myou Ang didn't go to get a wooden sword, but went straight to the center of the arena, waiting for Shinobu Kocho to walk towards him with a wooden sword.

Looking at Aran Myou Ang, who had nothing in his hands, Shinobu Kocho asked:

"Aren't you going to take a weapon?"

"Just now I thought about it. If you want to defeat me, you're simply daydreaming, especially since you can't even beat Mitsuri."

"Therefore, I've decided to give you a chance. As long as you can hit me with the wooden sword, I'll consider it a loss!"

Shinobu Kocho was stunned and immediately became furious.

How could this person be so arrogant!

"I'd like to see if it's really daydreaming!"

Shinobu Kocho rushed to Aran Myou Ang at lightning speed, holding the wooden sword and slashing vertically at Aran Myou Ang.

Aran Myou Ang didn't panic, closed his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and dodged Shinobu Kocho's attack with a quick sidestep.

Missing the first strike, Shinobu Kocho raised the sword and swept upwards with a backhand.

Aran Myou Ang used force from his heels, and his body slid backwards as if he were sliding on ice, dodging Shinobu Kocho's attack.

How is that possible!

Shinobu Kocho was shocked.

Although the floor of the arena was smoother than ordinary ground, it shouldn't be this slippery, right?

Looking at the raised corner of Aran Myou Ang's mouth, Shinobu Kocho directly used a breathing technique sword skill to attack Aran Myou Ang.

Bee Stinger Dance: True Fluttering!

Shinobu Kocho stepped forward and thrust the sword straight with one hand, aiming for Aran Myou Ang's chest.

In response, Aran Myou Ang simply leaned back and dodged.

Dragonfly Dance: Compound Eye Hexagon!

Butterfly Dance: Amusement!

Centipede Dance: Hundred-Legged Serpent Ziggurat!

One by one, Insect Breathing sword skills were used by Shinobu Kocho, but they were all dodged by Aran Myou Ang, who had his eyes tightly closed and his hands behind his back, with extremely precise movements.

Not only that, but Shinobu Kocho also noticed that Aran Myou Ang could always prepare to dodge before she fully launched her attack.

Shinobu Kocho was very clear about this situation, which meant that the other party had insight into her attack, observing her micro-movements and preparing in advance.

But wasn't Aran Myou Ang's eyes closed?

Why could he still sense the situation outside with his eyes closed?

Half an hour later, Shinobu Kocho was dripping with sweat, which fell on the ground.

The purple socks covering her small jade feet left a footprint on the ground with every step she took.

Shinobu Kocho looked at Aran Myou Ang, who was only one step away from her, and felt a sense of despair.

Clearly, the distance was less than a meter, but she just couldn't hit him.

Shinobu Kocho gasped for breath, and the hand holding the wooden sword drooped naturally, no longer making an attacking posture.

Aran Myou Ang opened his eyes and said:

"What? Not attacking anymore?"

"Are you going to give up?"

Then he stepped forward, the distance from Shinobu Kocho was only less than thirty centimeters.

Seeing this scene, Shinobu Kocho instantly exerted force.

Dragonfly Dance: Compound Eye Hexagon!

Shinobu Kocho attacked Aran Myou Ang again at an extremely fast speed.

You're good at dodging, huh? This time, with such a close distance, and with a six-hit combo, I'll see how you dodge!

This time, Aran Myou Ang really didn't dodge.

Shinobu Kocho was overjoyed and exclaimed:

"You lost!"
