Chapter 12 Guidance
"Hahaha!" {Ghost} laughed proudly. With a hostage in hand, it had the ability to be arrogant in front of Bai Yu.
"Look what I have in my hand? If you don't want them to die, hand over the knife in your hand!" {Ghost} directly ordered Bai Yu.
From its point of view, the most threatening thing is the Demon-Slaying Sword, so it feels that as long as Bai Yu loses the Demon-Slaying Sword, it will be nothing but food for it to slaughter!
If Bai Yu disobeys, then it will naturally eat the two brothers and sisters, then make itself stronger, and finally kill Bai Yu.
Of course, this is all just the ghost's conjecture. In fact, Bai Yu didn't take the threat of {ghost} seriously at all.
First: Even if the {ghost} eats Tanjiro, it will not affect him.
Second: Nezuko is also a ghost, so there is no need to worry that this kind of wild ghost can easily kill her.
Third: As a ghost, Nezuko's fighting power cannot be underestimated, although she has never eaten anyone.
"It's the stupidest behavior for you to threaten me with them." Bai Yu said lightly.
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Nezuko suddenly rioted, and Rinku kicked off {Ghost}'s head.
——"How is it possible! This girl is actually a ghost! Why is she mixed with humans!"
"Activate the breath of water!"
Just when Nezuko moved her feet, Bai Yu used the water breathing method obtained as a mission reward. Bai Yu has used water breathing, and all aspects of his body's functions have been significantly improved.
In one breath, Bai Yu came to the headless ghost body, and then slashed at the ghost hand holding Tanjiro's arm with his ghost-slaying sword. Finally, Tanjiro fell to the ground with the severed ghost hand. on the ground.
Tanjiro was saved and tore off the ghost hand at once, and then said to Bai Yu: "Thank you, senior!"
Bai Yu didn't pay attention to Tanjiro's thanks, but said to him: "I will leave it to you to deal with the kicked off ghost head, treat it as a test for you! Don't let him run away!" Otherwise, more people will be hurt, just like your family!”
Hearing this, Tanjiro was startled. He didn't expect that Bai Yu would actually let him deal with the ghost. However, Bai Yu's next words really touched him.
"Senior, what about you?" Tanjiro asked curiously before taking action.
"Of course you have to deal with this ghost body, and at the same time you have to protect your sister." Bai Yu replied.
Tanjiro soon understood that Bai Yu alone could not take care of the ghosts whose heads and bodies had been separated. It was very possible for Bai Yu alone to let go of some of them.
{Ghost}'s regeneration ability is very strong. As long as it is not completely killed, even if only a small part of the body is left, it can recover.
"I understand!" Tanjiro asked no more questions, picked up the ax he had used for many years, and went to deal with Kito.
Bai Yu once again used the breath of water and swung dozens of knives at the headless ghost body. The force of Bai Yu's attack was not very strong. The blade only left scars of varying depths on the ghost body, but did not disintegrate the ghost body.
Of course, this is the effect Bai Yu wants. After all, this ghost body is not the main body of the ghost. If it is decomposed, it will only increase the number of {ghost}'s clones and increase the probability of {ghost}'s escape.
As for why Bai Yu didn't directly kill the main body of the {ghost}, the reason was because of Tanjiro.
After all, he is the protagonist of this world. This is what he should experience. If Bai Yu does everything for Tanjiro. This will trigger a butterfly effect, causing unpredictable and serious consequences.
So Bai Yu knew that his existence could only serve as a guide, not a leader.
