Chapter 140 Burning the Soul and Moving Forward

There are strong ghosts, named Twelve Ghost Moons, and they are also divided into upper and lower strings. Their strength is distinct and their levels are also distinct.

The same goes for the Demon Slayer Corps. There are differences in status and strength within the Demon Slayer Corps.

Ghost hunters who belong to the Demon Slayer Team are generally divided into ten classes: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. Class A is the highest and class Gui is the lowest. The higher the class, the higher the class. Generally speaking, the stronger you are, the better your treatment, status and voice in the Demon Slayer Corps will be.

But Class A is not the highest class in the Demon Slayer Corps.

The Demon Slayer Corps has a leader and nine pillars.

The leader is the person who leads the entire Demon Slayer Squad.

The pillars are the nine highly respected swordsmen who support the Demon Slayer Corps. They are the strongest existence that surpasses all levels in the Demon Slayer Corps.

They are all named after the breathing styles they use.

For example, if you learn the five basic breathing methods of this world - fire, water, wind, thunder, and rock, and reach the pinnacle of this breathing method, you will use the breathing method to achieve your goals. Call yourself.

Pillars that use the Breath of Flame are called Flame Pillars.

Pillars that use water breathing are called water pillars.

By analogy, the Nine Pillars are each named after the breathing style they use.

Purgatory Anjojuro, this very unique ghost hunter is the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Squad, one of the nine strongest swordsmen in the world.

At the same time, he is also the most admirable and lamentable swordsman who is about to fight the destined ghost on this infinite train and finally usher in the end.

Li Ge then cast his gaze on the other person, staring at the man who lit up the darkness around him like a flame.

"Huh? What's wrong? Bento boy!"

While Purgatory Anjuro was eating the bento, for some reason he actually called Li Ge with a strange nickname. It seemed that he also discovered that the bento that Li Ge ate was from the same family as him.

"You are obviously more like a bento boy, right? No, you should be a bento boy."

Li Ge couldn't help but retort, but he didn't get too entangled in the topic. Instead, he smiled at Purgatory Xingjulang.

"Since people like you are on this train, it seems that something will happen to this train soon."

Li Ge's words made Purgatory Xingjulang eat his lunch a little slower.

"Well! It seems that you, bento boy, know something about our affairs!" Purgatory Xingjulang nodded seriously, the smile on his face did not diminish at all, and said: "But don't worry! Everything will be fine with me. It will all be solved!”

Purgatory Anjuro who spoke with such a high decibel voice really attracted more than just one or two glances.

But he himself didn't care that these words were heard by others, and Li Ge certainly didn't care.

"There are two hundred people on this train. Can you really take care of them?"

Li Ge also continued to eat his lunch, looking ahead and saying this.

"Hmm! It must be difficult, right?"

Purgatory Anjuro admitted this point frankly, without any intention of evading it.

Although he is a pillar and one of the nine strongest swordsmen in the world, it is indeed not an ordinary difficulty to fight ghosts and protect two hundred lives at the same time.

It would be fine if the opponent was an ordinary ghost.

Ordinary ghosts are just a matter of one blow in front of Yan Zhu.

Even the ghosts of the last phase of the Twelve Ghost Moons are no match for the Demon Slayer Pillars.

You know, in the Demon Slayer Squad, there are two criteria for becoming a pillar.

One is to kill fifty ghosts.

One is a member of the crusade against the Twelve Ghost Moons.

Therefore, most of the pillars in the Demon Slayer Team have personally defeated the Twelve Demons on the Moon. Although they are only demons of the lower end, it is enough to show how strong they are.

But there are already more than forty people missing on this infinite train. If they are all eaten by ghosts, they must not be ordinary people.

Just like people can gain nutrition by eating meat, ghosts can become stronger and stronger by eating people.

The more people it eats, the stronger the ghost will be, and the stronger the ghost will be, the more people it can eat. Even if an ordinary ghost wants to eat a large number of people, it may not be able to digest it.

But Mugen Train has already "eaten" more than forty people. With this kind of digestion, the ghost who appears here must be a low-stringed ghost at worst.

Although Purgatory Anjuro is not afraid of the demon of the lower string, he still has to protect the lives of two hundred people during the battle with the ghost of the lower string, which is not an easy task.

What's more, what if the ghost that appears on the Infinity Train is not the ghost of the lower string, but the ghost of the upper string?

The six demons on the string are the strongest six demons under the Demon King. In the past hundred years, there have been no personnel changes, and they have not been conquered. They have even conquered many former pillar-level swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. , the strength is by no means comparable to that of Xixian Gui.

If the ghost who appears here is a ghost, perhaps it is a question whether Purgatory Anjuro can even protect himself, let alone protect others?

However--

"Even so, I will do my duty and not let anyone lose their life in front of me!"

Purgatory Anjuro crossed his arms and shouted loudly at the ceiling of the train.

"Just feel at ease!"

These words immediately scared all the passengers in the carriage away.

In the entire carriage, only Li Ge and Purgatory Xingjulang were finally left.

In the eyes of others, Purgatory Anjuro, who is always shouting and saying incomprehensible things here, is no different from a weirdo, right?

Only Li Ge felt a strong force from these seemingly loud words.

This man really thought so and wanted to prevent anyone from losing their life in front of him.

Even if the ghost that is about to appear is the ghost of the wind, he will fight to the end to protect everyone on this train, right?

Those who feel the power in his words will probably feel at ease just as he said.

However, Li Ge looked at this man and just said something lightly.

"You are here to protect everyone here, then who is going to protect you like this?"

Such an understatement made Yanzhu, who spoke so openly, stunned.

He didn't know that Li Ge also felt this.

After all, in the original work, although Purgatory Anjuro did manage to prevent the entire two hundred people on the train from dying, in the end, he himself lost his life.

Li Ge also sincerely admired what Yan Zhu had done, so he said this.

Not knowing all this, Purgatory Xingjulang stared at Li Ge for the first time, looked at the young man in front of him who was eating the same bento as himself, and smiled.

"The responsibility of those who are born strong is to protect the weak and not to use the talents given by God to harm others or enrich themselves."

Purgatory Anjuro's voice is still so loud and powerful.

However, this time, the voice contained not only power, but also belief.

"It is my responsibility to protect everyone here."

As for himself?

"Responsibility lies, faith lies, so what if you encounter danger? Just hold your chest high and keep moving forward!"

Purgatory Anjuro patted his chest and laughed.

"Don't underestimate me, bento boy, my heart can burn!"

Burn your soul and move forward.

This is the Flame Pillar.

"."

Li Ge didn't speak anymore, but ate his lunch box silently until the last bite.

Then, he put down his finished lunch, followed the etiquette of people in this world, and clasped his hands together.

"Thanks for the hospitality."

After doing all this, Li Ge turned to Purgatory Xingjulang.

"The responsibility of the born strong is to protect the weak, right?" Li Ge looked directly at Purgatory Xingshourou, and suddenly smiled, and said: "In this case, my responsibility is to protect you, right? ?”

"What?" Purgatory Xingjulang was stunned.

"Isn't it?" Li Ge smiled and said, "After all, I am better than you."

Li Ge said this sentence in a very calm and indifferent way, completely unlike Purgatory Xingjulang, who was loud in decibels and powerful.

However, just such a calm word made Purgatory Anjuro feel an incredible sense of security.

"Stronger than me?"

Purgatory Xingjulang rarely whispered, and then showed a big smile.

Like sunshine, like fire, a fierce and cheerful smile.

"What an incredible young man." Purgatory Xingjulang laughed at Li Ge: "But unfortunately, I am ten thousand times stronger than you think, so let me protect you!"

"No, no, no, I think I should be a hundred thousand times stronger than you think." Li Ge said seriously: "So, let me protect you."

"Then I am a million times stronger than you think! Let me protect you!"

"Then it would be ten million times worse for me. In the end, I will still protect you."

"Then I'll be a hundred million times better!"

The two of them had an inexplicable argument in the empty carriage, which made people dumbfounded and made them want to smile for some reason.

At the end of the argument, a third voice suddenly broke in, overshadowing the two of them.

"I am a billion times stronger than you! If you don't believe it, let's have a showdown!!!"

Accompanied by such a high-pitched shout, a figure rushed towards the empty carriage door from behind the glass at high speed.

"Pigs swoosh!"

Shouting like this, the figure crashed through the carriage door, carrying countless pieces of wood, and rushed into the carriage where Li Ge and Inferno Anjuro were sitting.

"Stop it! You stupid pig!"

"Calm down! Inosuke!"

If you look carefully, you will see that there are two people hanging on this figure.

The two men tried to stop the former with expressions of tears on their faces, but it had no effect at all.

As for the person who broke through the door and rushed in, it was... uh... a boar head?

"Hahaha! Where is the Flame Pillar? Let's have a showdown!"

The boar put his head on his hips and laughed loudly as he spoke.
