Wait... what's going on with those two ghosts?
Why did they suddenly freeze?
He wouldn't even look at her anymore.
Butterfly Tianna gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably.
This should have been a perfect opportunity for her to strike, but the enemies in front of her were two Upper Moon demons!
The terrifying pressure, the sheer amount of courage to fight that made her almost suffocate just by standing there, was so intense that she could hardly breathe.
At this moment, she was already doing her best to stand here, let alone pick up a knife and attack.
"What do we do! There are two Upper Moons!"
A sense of despair also welled up in the hearts of the hidden members around them.
You should know that the reason these people were selected for the organization is because they lack combat talent and can only do logistical work.
They are powerless even when facing the most ordinary ghosts.
What's more, these are two Upper Moon demons!
"You all need to leave quickly!" Butterfly Tianna gritted her teeth, and although her teeth trembled as she spoke, she forced herself to remain calm.
After all, among the Demon Slayer Corps members present, she was the only one with combat capabilities!
"Our opponents have two upper-level cockpits, how can we abandon you!"
"Stop arguing!" Butterfly Tianna said, "For some reason, they haven't attacked us yet. This is your best chance to leave. If we drag this out any longer, none of us will be able to escape!"
Butterfly Tianna didn't know why her luck was so bad.
Other Demon Slayer Corps members might never encounter an Upper Moon in their entire lives, but she encountered one not long after joining the Demon Slayer Corps, and even two Upper Moons at that. Her luck must be incredible.
"Are we just going to stay here in this stalemate? Those humans are already discussing how to leave."
After a moment of silence, Ryuji said, "Letting the Demon Slayer Corps leave will anger Lord Muzan."
"Of course I know."
Akaza's eyes were cold. He had known about this for a long time, and he didn't know how many times he had endured Muzan's wrath because of it.
But if it came to laying a hand on a woman, he would rather face the wrath of Lord Muzan.
"Letting them leave is a minor matter, but if our whereabouts are exposed and the mission fails, that would be a much bigger problem. Let's temporarily disable them."
Ryūri turned to Akaza and said, "Go, Lord Akaza."
"Why me?"
Akaza tilted his head back, his face clearly showing his dissatisfaction: "Why can't it be you who goes?"
"At this point, there's no need to distinguish between you and me. As a demon, isn't killing the Demon Slayer Corps the most basic thing? Besides, I didn't ask you to kill them, I just wanted to incapacitate them."
"What's the difference?"
Akaza said, "I told you I don't lay a hand on women."
"Your Excellency Akaza, you are truly impervious to reason!"
"I am Upper Moon Three, and you are Upper Moon Six. I am your senior, so shouldn't you be the one to make the move as the junior?"
"Ha, is that so?" Ryuji maintained his smile, but veins bulged on his neck. "Is our Upper Moon a place that values seniority? Shouldn't strength speak for itself?"
Akaza glanced at him: "Strength?"
Longli turned to look at him, and at that moment, a spark flew between their eyes.
"I heard that you became an Upper Moon in less than three years. I've been wanting to see your strength for a long time."
"Strictly speaking, it's two years and seven months." Ryūri smiled and said, "Of course, I would also like to see what Lord Akaza's abilities are like."
"Ha!" Akaza clenched his fist. "Looks like we're thinking the same thing!"
The ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, and a terrifying aura exploded out!
Facing the fierce onslaught of Akaza's aura, Ryūri remained unmoved, like a steadfast reef in the ocean.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Lord Akaza, your strength is indeed formidable."
Akaza grinned, revealing sharp teeth: "Haha, Ryuri, I'm really looking forward to seeing your strength!"
Before he finished speaking, Akaza suddenly swung his fist at Ryūri, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind.
Ryūri dodged the punch to the side, and at the same time raised his leg to kick Akaza in the abdomen.
Akaza nimbly jumped away, followed by a fierce elbow strike.
Their movements became faster and faster, their moves more and more ruthless, and the surrounding air was stirred up into turbulent waves by their fierce battle.
"Wait, what's going on?!"
Butterfly Tianna stared blankly at the scene before her: "What are those two Upper Moons doing?"
"Are they fighting amongst themselves?"
The group of hidden figures exchanged bewildered glances. Suddenly, Butterfly Tiannai turned her head and shouted, "Run!"
Whatever those two ghosts are doing, now is the best time to escape!
Although it is shameful for a member of the Demon Slayer Corps to run away when facing a demon, running away is the most correct choice when the opponent is an Upper Moon demon!
Butterfly Tana is not a Pillar; she is just a newcomer who has just joined the Demon Slayer Corps. Faced with an Upper Moon whose strength is vastly different from hers, the only thing she dares to do is to lead everyone to escape alive!
To Butterfly's surprise, even though they had turned and run away, the two Upper Moons behind them showed no intention of chasing after them!
She breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know why the two Upper Moons hadn't attacked them, they were incredibly lucky to have survived encountering an Upper Moon!
As long as nothing unexpected happens, everything will be fine. The two Upper Moons aren't paying any attention to them at all; they're just leaving quietly, sneaking away without drawing their notice...
However, just then, as they turned to run away, and as the auras of Ryūri and Akaza clashed in the distance, a figure suddenly burst in!
"Evil spirit!"
A hideous face appeared particularly sinister and terrifying under the moonlight. A snow-white haori fluttered incessantly in the gale, and the Nichirin Blade in his hand stirred up a chaotic tornado!
"You guys go quickly, I'll hold off these two ghosts!" The man who suddenly barged in shouted loudly to Butterfly Tianna and the others in the distance!
Butterfly Girl: ...
If you hadn't said anything, they would have left long ago.
However, due to the man's sudden intrusion, Akaza and Ryuri's clashing auras suddenly froze, their movements stopped simultaneously, and they turned to look at the figure that had suddenly appeared.
It was as if two fierce tigers were about to engage in a fierce battle, but were interrupted by a little white rabbit that suddenly barged in.
The next moment, Akaza and Ryuri's figures vanished from their original spots.
"Waaah..."
Ryu grabbed the man by the throat, and Akaza punched through the man's chest.
"You're faster than me." Long Li sighed softly, as if accepting the fact with resignation.
"You're not bad either." Akaza gave a faint smile.
