Chapter 148 - Escape Is Shameful, but Useful (2-in-1)

…

In a brightly lit room.

Wu Kuan was sitting on the middle platform, his legs hanging on the edge of the platform.

After a period of venting his emotions, he has now calmed down.

He lowered his head, and his scarlet eyes revealed patterns like stained glass in a church under the shadows.

——The guy has woken up.

Such words echoed in Wuhan's heart.

——Sure enough, it’s better not to risk going out during this period of time.

This was followed closely by this thought.

In the more than ten years after Shang Quan Nai fell asleep, Wu Mei gradually understood that he had not yet become the most perfect creature.

Of course, it is also the closest to perfection!

He was afraid of the sun and couldn't even go out during the day. He could only hide in the shadows in fear.

Therefore, Muzan went to Iyu Country, which was the Ubuyashiki residence at that time.

It was to find the prescription left by Kamiizumi Na there.

It was also there that Muzan encountered the strongest fighting force in the Demon Slayer Corps at the time - Kamado Shigeru.

The guy's face had red lines similar to his own.

The madness with which the fight was life-threatening almost made Wuhan think he was the ghost.

He was holding a bone knife with the blood of Kamiizumi Na, which had a natural ability to restrain himself. Wu Kuai was at a disadvantage for a while.

But humans are humans after all, and their bodies are always extremely fragile.

His injured hands and feet could not recover, and his physical strength could not keep up. Soon Kamado Shigeru had to rely on perseverance to drag him away.

After experiencing a big battle, he was almost dragged into the daytime by Kamado Shigeru. Fortunately, he had the ability to split and escape.

Wuhan speculated that if the final prescription was developed, he might be able to overcome his weakness of fear of the sun and eventually become a creature without any weaknesses.

This guess was also confirmed by him in subsequent human experiments.

In the prescription, the last medicinal ingredient that was erased was also found out by Wuhan.

——Zhiyang.

For this reason, Wu Kai spent hundreds of years searching for countless medicinal materials that met the requirements in Neon, and kept experimenting, but none of them were what he wanted.

Thinking about it, Muzan raised his head, and instead of looking at Naru Nu who was shivering beside him, he said directly:

"Narume."

"Is that human doctor under control?"

Naruto trembled when she heard Muzan's gloomy voice. She quickly lowered her head and answered Muzan's question:

"Master Wuhan and his family are under control."

Muzan closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, glanced at Takehara who was hanging in the air, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:

"well done."

In the next period of time, Wuhan estimates that he will not return to the ground again.

There are enough ghosts left on the ground, and the human forces that can be controlled are gradually developing.

For six hundred years, he has continued to spill his blood on the land of Neon.

So much so that there is now a legend of "In the Heian Era, a Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night".

As for leaving Neon, Wu Mei has not thought about it.

But at that time, he had developed his surroundings into a comfortable environment, and Shang Quannai was sleeping, so Wu Mei did not choose to leave here.

And now...

——Kamiizumi Nai.

——It’s not like I’ve done nothing in the past six hundred years.

In the large shadow behind Wu Kuai, red eyes slowly lit up one after another.

…

Outside the Knife Forging Village.

main entrance.

Shang Quanna carried the blindfolded Purgatory Jinjuro and slowly walked to the door of the Knife Forging Village.

There were several purple-patterned sachets hanging on his waist.

This was given by Jushi.

It is said that after being specially treated by her, the wisteria flower scented bag can more effectively resist the intrusion of evil spirits.

It can even make thin blood less attractive to ghosts.

"Your Excellency Shangquan! Are we here?" Purgatory Jinjuro asked when he felt Shangquanna stop walking.

Because of Purgatory Jinjuro's strong request, Shang Quanna had to take him to the Knife Forging Village again.

Snapped!

"We're here." Shang Quanna patted Purgatory Jinshourou's shoulder, then turned around and looked around the knife-forging village.

Shang Quannai was still in a good mood. He was able to easily resolve the danger that was going to happen without affecting others.

It also made Wuxian feel defeated again.

This made him very happy.

After taking a deep breath of the fresh air of the blue summer sky, he slowly walked into the knife-forging village with Jinjuro Infernal Affairs.

…

The hotel entrance.

My wife Shancun was standing next to Ciichiro with a tired look on her face. He was rubbing his sleepy eyes and slumping his shoulders, looking listless.

"...Jiichiro~Why did you come out so early~"

My wife Shancun was complaining, while Jiichiro looked at Shang Quanna and Purgatory Jinjuro who were walking towards them.

"Master Shangquan." Ciichiro ignored my wife Shancun, but looked at Shangquan Nai with slightly anxious eyes: "Sister, he..."

"That's right! Sister!" My wife Shancun suddenly woke up from fatigue and sleep. He turned to look at Jiichiro and Shang Quanna nervously.

"Yes, it has been sent to Miss Tamashii." Shang Quanna was followed by Purgatory Jinjuro, who nodded: "You can see her when you leave here and go back to Saagiri Mountain."

When Ciichiro heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly pulled my wife Shancun beside him, and then the two of them bowed deeply to Shang Quanna: "Thank you very much!"

On the side, Purgatory Jinjuro looked left and right. He crossed his arms, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

It seemed that something happened again without him knowing it!

Purgatory Jinjuro thought and nodded slightly.

"By the way, where is Yuanyi?"

Shang Quanna turned his head and glanced at the area of ​​the Sword Forging Village. He did not feel the soul belonging to Jiguo Enichi in the Sword Forging Village.

"Your Excellency Jiguo?"

Jiichiro blinked and pointed outside the village:

"I heard from the village chief that His Excellency Jiguo seemed to have followed the swordsmith out of the village early in the morning."

"Now, it should be in the bamboo forest outside the village."

"That's it, I understand." Shang Quannai glanced outside the village in the direction of Jiichiro's finger, and then nodded.

"By the way, Lord Kamizumi."

Jiichiro retracted his finger, lowered his eyes slightly, and said curiously:

"I'm actually a little confused, although it's a bit rude."

He raised his head and looked at Shang Quannai who turned around:

"Your Excellency Jiguo's Jiguo...is that Jiguo's last name?"

Jiichiro's eyes shone with an inexplicable light:

"That... I heard that the head of the family is a samurai family with twins."

Shang Quannai looked at Jiichiro's twinkling eyes. He choked for a moment, then nodded silently.

"That's it! Thank you!" Ciichiro obviously had a happy smile on his face. He pulled my wife Shancun beside him who was confused and nodded to Shang Quanna again.

"Let's go find Mr. Jiguo now!"

"Eh? Ciichiro?" My wife Shancun still looked unresponsive.

…

Despite the noisy situation, it was rare that there were no evil spirits to disturb them, so the few of them spent a few leisurely days in the Knife Forging Village.

It seems that because of my wife Tamako, even the members of the Demon Slayer Squad have become much more relaxed in the past few days.

——The crows were surprised to find that the ghost activities had decreased in the past few days, and most of the ghosts they could see were very weak ghosts who were very hungry.

According to the doctor, he had not seen seriously injured team members for several days.

Jiichiro seems to have developed a high affection for Enichi Stepkuni because they were both twins born into a samurai family.

And today, a few days later, at night, Jiguo Enichi's Nichirin Sword was finally finished.

evening.

Inside the hotel.

"Your Excellency." Tie Qiao sat in front of several people, holding a long object wrapped in a cloth belt in his hand:

"I was too excited, so I didn't package it carefully. Please forgive me."

"This knife is definitely the most perfect knife I have ever forged in my life."

His voice was trembling, and in the eyes of several people, he held the knife in both hands and handed it to Enichi Tsukuni.

"Thank you." Ji Guoyuan also took the tightly wrapped knife with both hands, and then slowly opened the cloth.

What was exposed was a sword that was more than one meter long. The mirror-like blade reflected a sharp cold light.

The word "annihilation" is engraved concisely and powerfully on the blade close to the blade.

The golden edge of the sword is inlaid with obsidian-like minerals in the middle, which looks very noble.

At the handle of the knife, the golden mackerel skin is wrapped around the black handle, forming a unique and beautiful pattern.

Snapped!

And the moment Ji Guoyuan held the handle of the knife with one hand.

The blade, which was originally like a mirror, seemed to be stained with ink. Blackness spreads upward from the root of the blade.

"Oh! This is it!" Tie Qiao's hands trembled. He looked at the color-changing Sun Blade excitedly: "The color-changing blade!"

He looked at Tsukuni Enichi excitedly, and the fire man mask he was wearing almost fell off because of his excitement:

"Your Excellency is indeed a man of superb swordsmanship!"

He wiped his hands on his clothes excitedly, and his face under the mask was full of smile:

"Ah...it's black!"

My wife Shancun and Jiichiro on the side also looked at the gradually darkening Nichirin sword in surprise.

They have also held the Nichirin Sword before, and although it did change color, they have never seen the blade become pitch black.

Purgatory Jinjuro sat cross-legged and nodded with a smile: "It's very beautiful in black!"

The pitch-black blade reflects the light in the room, with faint traces of color flow.

If I had to describe it, I could only say it was colorful black.

Ji Guoyuan stared blankly at the blade of the blade that had turned pitch black. He frowned slightly and turned his head to look at Shang Quannai who was cooking.

"Hmm." Shang Quannai, who was stuffing his mouth full of food, raised his eyes and gestured to Ji Guoyuan to hold the handle of the knife with both hands.

Ji Guoyuan turned around and held the handle of the knife with both hands.

"call!"

Shang Quannai saw the right moment and blew out the oil lamp beside him, and the room instantly fell into darkness.

next moment.

Crack! Snapped!

A few dazzling reds suddenly shone, like hot lava, dotted in the darkness.

Subsequently.

Bah——!

A wisp of evaporated white mist rose from the Sun Blade.

Ji Guoyuan held the handle of the knife with both hands without much force. The blade of the Nichirin Knife gradually turned bright red, the temperature seemed to be rising, and the surrounding dark space was vaguely twisted.

On the Nichirin Sword, the black undulating pattern also turned into a dark red like magma, and the red blade was like a burning flame, lighting up Enichi Tsukuni's face.

"This is it!" Tie Qiao looked at the red sun blade and was speechless for a moment.

"...Is the blade getting hot?" Jiichiro sat next to Enichi Tsukuni, and he felt the faint warmth coming from the blade.

"It's shining!" my wife Shancun sighed, and wanted to reach out and touch the blade, but Jiichiro, who had quick eyes and quick hands, quickly stopped her.

"real or fake…"

"Amazing!"

Several pillars on the side were also stunned in shock.

Jiguo Enichi held the Nichirin Sword and observed and felt it carefully without saying a word.

Only Shang Quanna looked excitedly at the Sun Sword in Ji Guoyuan's hand.

He Dao!

Sure enough, seeing it with your own eyes is even more shocking.

The blade of the knife is heated by the force of the grip until the blade is as hot as the scorching sun. Is this really something humans can do?

Shang Quannai looked at Ji Guoyuan holding the He Dao, casually took the oil lamp next to him, and leaned on the He Dao.

Bah——!

In an instant, a flame ignited on the oil lamp, illuminating the room again.

"Now that you've got the knife, let's go hunt a ghost?"

Shang Quannai tilted his head towards Ji Guoyuan and walked out the door.

As soon as Ji Guoyuan glanced at his knife, he slowly loosened his grip on the handle of the knife. The red blade quickly cooled and turned black again.

He raised his head and looked at Shang Quannai:

"good."

…

The knife-forging village is far away.

In a sparsely populated town.

"Ah! Ah!!" the young voice shouted in fear.

A panicked man hugged his daughter and ran with gritted teeth. He quickly fled around the corners of the alleys.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, father is here." The man comforted the young daughter in his arms as softly as possible, even though he himself was extremely uneasy.

He is a businessman.

But now is an era of war, and he can only maintain his life with difficulty in the war.

Many times, it is only by making money that one can survive.

Therefore, he felt very guilty in his heart, but he had no choice but to survive.

Although the family has a lot of money now, life is very difficult. If you are not careful, it can easily be robbed by someone who takes advantage of the situation.

So, he moved to a town where few people came.

And now, I encountered an unknown monster in the middle of the night!

What bad luck!

The man's face was livid, and he looked back in horror.

I saw a humanoid creature with horns on its forehead and many strange lines on its body, crawling on the wall!

There is thick and disgusting saliva swaying from the corner of the mouth, and it is climbing here quickly!

The raised pustules on the skin were covered with sore scars, and the layers of dead skin on the skin were already turning blue.

The man was horrified. He just saw that thing lying on the ground eating the corpse!

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect to encounter thin blood in a place like this!"

Uh-huh!

The evil ghost jumped up suddenly!

Snap!

Landed directly in front of the man!

The evil ghost licked his face excitedly, looked towards the man's arms with his scarlet eyes, and then smiled ferociously:

"Hey, hey, hey, he's still a kid, it must taste really good!"

Just when the man retreated in panic.

A slightly excited voice sounded from behind the evil ghost:

"found it!"
