Chapter 176 - I Got Dizzy
…
The moonlight is hazy, and the darkness is getting thicker.
Deep in the mountains.
Outside Tomioka's mansion.
"Run! Run!!" The evil ghost scratched around in a panic. He stumbled and fell to the ground, and then crawled crazily outside the mansion with his limbs in a mess.
Arrive at the path that goes down the hill in front of the mansion.
He turned around in horror and found that there were no Demon Slayer swordsmen chasing after him.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then strode down the mountain without looking back.
until
--boom! !
"Pooh!"
The evil ghost felt as if his head had been hit hard, as if it had hit a hard boulder.
He took two steps back, shook his head, and looked at the empty path ahead in surprise.
He stretched out his hand and tentatively touched the air twice.
Snap, snap.
Touched it!
Slimy stuff, but very hard...
The evil spirit was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked up at the palm of his hand, and patted it hard again.
Bang!
Light red ripples rippled along the touch of the evil ghost's palm.
A red translucent barrier slowly revealed his true appearance.
The evil ghost followed the bloody ripples with dull eyes, raising his head until he looked directly at the moon sky.
No, this is not a barrier.
A blood-red semicircular barrier had suddenly shrouded from the sky, completely sealing off the surroundings of the mansion.
"...What is this!" The evil spirit shouted desperately.
…
…
In the main hall of Tomioka.
Shang Quannai squatted in the center of the main hall, and the dead soldier Tomioka lying on the ground was weak.
The little girl Hanako had tears in her eyes and fell asleep quietly relying on her brother.
"Are you ready?" Kanroji Sakurabake held the sword in her arms. She leaned against the door of the main hall and turned her head to ask Shangquan Nai, who was slowly getting up.
"Yes." Shang Quannai nodded. He straightened up and the blood on his fingertips slowly returned to his pores: "Basically everything is done."
but.
He lowered his eyes slightly.
Tomioka's brain was damaged and he had no ability to recover.
He didn't dare to restore it at will.
This also means that Tomioka will maintain his emotionless personality until the future.
Shang Quanna glanced at Hanako, who was leaning on Tomioka's dead man, and he slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Let's go." Kanroji Sakuracake took a step toward the door, her eyes looking towards the cellar of Tomioka's mansion that had not yet been cleaned.
"There are hundreds of cannibals hiding in this deep mountain."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and closed her eyes slightly.
[Vampire Art·Enchanting·Perception]
duang——
Blood-red ripples rippled from the barrier on the dome and spread along the barrier.
Everything within the barrier is within the perception range of Kanroji Sakura Cake.
This barrier was proposed by Shang Quanna when he first entered Tomioka's residence.
The scope is the entire Tomioka Residence.
The purpose is to try to see if the barrier can prevent Wu Mei from entering Infinite City.
Although the final result was not the best, it successfully eliminated almost all the evil spirits in Tomioka's mansion.
If anyone was not trapped, it was only the ghosts who went out hunting before they came.
Amidst the faint smell of blood, Kanroji Sakurabi slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the back of Shang Quanna who was walking in front of her:
"Five hundred and twenty-four more."
"Now most of them are gathered at the edge of the barrier. They seem to want to grind a hole in my barrier."
Kanroji Sakuracake walked up to Shang Quanna, she raised her head with a side face, and slowly grasped the handle of her sword.
"Yes, I saw it." Shang Quannai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the mountain road leading outside the mansion in the distance.
There, a large group of red souls were densely packed and commotion, crowded together.
There are other red soul groups in other places, but the place with the largest number of ghosts is here.
——The plan is now very clear.
The location of Infinite City is already in hand. The presence of Takehara is equivalent to having the remote location of Infinite City updated at any time.
Now, you only need to clean up the debris on your hands, and you can directly set off to attack Infinite City.
"Up!" Shang Quannai's bone knife was placed in the main hall just now. He reached out to his waist and felt empty.
After casually holding the thigh bone and pulling it out again, he turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
"Yeah!" Ganluji Sakuracake nodded, and she followed closely.
…
The edge of the barrier.
This is a downhill area with a cellar exit next to it, and a steady stream of ghosts are escaping from it in a hurry.
Uh-huh!
Shang Quannai appeared behind a large group of ghosts. He concealed his aura and scanned the evil ghosts who were all staring at the barrier.
The evil spirits were all staring at the barrier, and no one noticed Shang Quannai, who was hiding his aura.
"Quick! Can you do it? If you can't, let me do it!" The evil ghost squeezed away the people in front of him, and then grabbed the barrier with his claws.
Pong!
The claw is broken.
"Asshole, this thing can't be sharpened at all!"
"Idiot! You want to do this!"
"Vampire Technique, you use Vampire Ghost Technique!"
The evil ghosts crowded around the edge of the barrier, using their own vampire skills to rub and corrode the barrier, trying to escape.
pity,
It's too late.
Click.
Wow——
Shang Quannai raised the bone knife in his hand, and blood overflowed from his palm, spiraling around the blade like a blooming bloody Hibiscus flower.
The blood exudes a mysterious and strange bright red light, dotted around the blade.
Shang Quannai's pupils quickly locked on the necks of all the ghosts who had their backs turned to him, and adjusted the angle of the blade in his hand.
Subsequently.
A violent slash!
The blood sputtered out with the powerful swing, forming a new blade rotating slash.
Poof!
Under the blood-red moonlight, countless heads with stunned expressions rose into the sky.
…
Shortly after.
Da da da!
"Ah, Lord Shangquan!"
Purgatory Jinjuro, who is responsible for cleaning up the evil ghosts in the district, has just killed a ghost and is observing the evil ghost's movements.
When passing by, I saw Shang Quannai sitting on the eaves of the gate.
He covered one of his arms, blood flowing from between his fingers.
Although the ghosts that are capable of vampire magic no longer pose any threat to the pillars, if there are too many, it will be very troublesome to deal with them.
Purgatory Jinjuro looked at the large pool of blood in front of Shang Quanna and the evil ghost's corpse that gradually turned into ashes, and then looked in another direction.
In that direction, blood shadows were flying, and it seemed that the witch from Ganlu Temple was taking action.
"What's wrong?" Shang Quannai turned his head when he heard the words. He glanced at the wound on Purgatory Renjuro's arm:
"Have you met a powerful ghost?"
"Ah...it's just a small scratch, it's nothing to worry about!" Purgatory Jinjuro scratched his head and said with renewed energy. Suddenly his tone changed:
"By the way, Lord Shangquan, do you know where Lord Jiguo is now?"
"The other four pillars are currently setting fire to the same cellar entrance. There are more ghosts there, but this has also caused serious injuries to the team members in other places..." Inferno Jinjuro lowered his head, his eyes a little gloomy.
"Maybe, we need some help..."
He knew that Kazama and Iwami believed in his strength, so they would trust him with their backs.
Snap.
Shang Quannai jumped down from the eaves, and patted Purgatory Jinjuro on the shoulder:
"As for Yuanyi, he is currently protecting his family and cannot get away."
"I'll just go."
Speaking of this, Shang Quanna subconsciously took a look at the number of ghosts around him, only to find that the red souls were disappearing very quickly.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
"No, I'm no longer needed."
"...The ghosts have been killed."
At this time.
There were sudden roars from the entrance to the cellar on the side.
boom! boom--! !
"The Breath of Thunder! One Type·Thunderbolt Flash!"
boom!
Along with the roar and the shaking of the ground, my wife Shancun, covered in golden thunder and lightning, rushed out of the cellar entrance in an instant!
Swish-bang!
The continuous high-speed movement put a severe load on his ankle, and he was unable to turn again.
So, in the surprised eyes of Purgatory Jinjuro, my wife Shancun held a knife in her hand and hit the barrier of Kanroji Sakura Cake.
His body slowly slipped and fell limp, falling to the ground.
"Sancun..."
Purgatory Jinjuro looked back blankly at the entrance to the cellar next to him.
He clearly remembered that my wife Shancun rushed in from another cellar.
"Are the cellars connected to each other?" he murmured to himself.
"By the way, Lord Shangquan, Lord Yuanyi...how do you protect your family..."
Purgatory Jinjuro suddenly reacted, and he looked at Shang Quanna worriedly: "Is there something wrong with Mount Saagiri?"
For a moment, Purgatory Jinjuro could recall the memories of Tsukuni Yuen's family, and the only ones he could remember were Uta and their children at the foot of Mount Saagiri.
And Mount Sagi is where half of the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters is located. If something goes wrong there...
Just when Purgatory Jinjuro was asking, Mizuki Shiro and the other two pillars walked out of the cellar entrance one after another.
"Huh, I'm so exhausted..." Minazuki Shiro held on to the stone next to him and gasped for air. His feather fabric was already somewhat torn.
"Unexpectedly, there is only an earth wall between the cellar and the cellar."
"Thankfully, that kid was knocked open by the wall."
As they were talking, several people saw Shang Quannai who was talking to Purgatory Jinjuro and quickly came over.
But when he saw the two of them talking, he didn't interrupt. He just stood around quietly and listened.
After Shang Quanna glanced at the people walking out of the cellar, he withdrew his gaze. He answered Purgatory Jinjuro's question:
"Enichi, his brother who is a warrior and his retainers encountered ghosts."
"You can't kill ghosts without the Nichirin Sword, so Yuan Yi left in a hurry."
Because the ghosts had been basically cleared away, several people gradually became less anxious.
"What!?" My wife Shancun's ears stood up and she suddenly jumped up from the ground, her eyes filled with light.
Obviously, he became himself again at this moment.
"Brother? Your Excellency Jiguo's brother!?"
My wife Shancun shouted in surprise, which also attracted the attention of several other pillars nearby.
"The neon number one?"
Iwami Inkstone looked at my wife Shancun with some doubts.
"Ah, I remembered." Shuiwu Yuebai clapped his hands and nodded:
"It seems that His Excellency Jiguo said something like this..."
"My elder brother is the best swordsman in Neon." Minazuki Shiro said in a low voice, imitating the tone of Enichi Tsukuni.
"Such."
"Number one..." My wife Shancun stood up and looked up at the night sky, his eyes full of longing.
"The elder brother of His Excellency Jiguo must be very powerful."
"...Well, this is inevitable." Shuiwu Yuebai crossed his arms, closed his eyes and nodded, agreeing with my wife Shancun's idea.
"A strong man..." Kazama Chengya leaned against the stone, his head hanging down, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"I want to spar." He tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.
Although he wanders between life and death every day, fighting against humans is still more enjoyable.
Shangquan Nai looked at Zhu Men who were almost thinking, and felt a little sympathy for Yan Sheng in his heart.
Iwakatsu Tsukuni, who has yet to learn breathing techniques and has not been exposed to any ghost blood, is just a samurai at this moment.
"It's time to leave here."
He muttered and looked up at the Tomioka main hall standing in the distance.
There, there are now a large number of Tomioka tribesmen who were saved from the ghosts.
…
the other side.
Jiguo camp.
"Brother, I'll carry you." Tsukuni Enki extended a helping hand to Iwakatsu, who was leaning on a tree trunk.
Snapped!
Jiguo Iwakatsu reached out and knocked off Yui Yi's hand. He used his broken knife to support it and stood up despite the pain.
"I can go."
"I understand." Ji Guoyuan nodded.
"However, if the wound recurs, please be sure to inform the Yin members." Yuanyi lowered his eyes slightly, but his tone was full of worry for Iwakatsu.
Jiguo Yansheng didn't speak. He just supported his body with the broken knife and slowly walked forward.
Yin on the side saw this and waved to him quickly:
"Your Excellency over there! Come this way."
"We have a carriage!"
"Huh?" Jiguo Yansheng frowned slightly.
Then, three Yin members quickly ran over and forcibly carried the struggling Iwakatsu Tsukikuni onto the carriage.
On the carriage.
"Where's Yuanyi? Doesn't that guy need to ride in a carriage?" Jiguo Yansheng calmed down his emotions and said to the coachman through gritted teeth.
But Yuanyi's voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Brother, I still have a mission, so I won't go with you first."
Jiguo Yansheng was startled. He twisted his neck to the side stiffly, and then nodded silently.
At this time.
The crow on Yuanyi's shoulder suddenly began to speak in a low voice:
"Yuanyi, you don't have to come back."
"The evil spirits here at Tomioka Residence have been cleared away, and we are preparing to go back."
"You just need to go back with your brother. If it's convenient, you can gather at Samagiri Mountain, just in time for the other pillars to get in touch with the new team members."
Ji Guoyuan glanced at the crow on his shoulder, and then looked silently at his brother in the carriage.
He opened the curtain and sat in.
It has been ten years since we met each other, and Yuanyi still has something he wants to say to Yan Sheng.
Perhaps because his wife and children are healthy, Yuanyi is now happy to share his experience with his brother.
And just when he was about to speak.
But he found that Jiguo Iwakatsu was putting his head outside the carriage window, his neck hunched.
"...What's wrong? Brother."
"I'm sick of carriages."
Ji Guoyuan withdrew his eyes with some confusion, looked straight ahead, and sat upright.
But.
Isn't the carriage still moving?
