"Honestly, you almost made me forget the important matter." Akaza pulled his hand back, shook off the blood, and the blood droplets splattered on the ground, forming small red flowers.
He looked at his palm, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with what had just happened.
"What should we do with those humans?" Akaza turned to look at Ryuri.
"I'll do it." Ryuri said with a hint of helplessness, then looked in the direction of Butterfly Tianna: "Hey, you humans over there."
Butterfly Tianna froze in the distance. At that moment, she felt as if she were being pounced on by a tiger, as if she would be torn to pieces the next second if she made the slightest movement.
Butterfly Tianna pursed her lips, her face as pale as paper, her heart pounding, and she was so nervous she could barely breathe. She knew that this time, she probably really couldn't escape.
"Let's fight them!" The hidden members behind him were terrified, but they were still trying to remain calm.
"Leave it to me." Butterfly Tianna gave everyone a firm look, then took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself, and mustered her courage to turn around and face Ryuri and Akaza.
"Sorry, there was a little mishap just now." Ryuri's gaze was fixed on Butterfly Tianna, full of authority and pressure: "You guys almost got away. Honestly, you're all such a handful."
Long Li's words carried a hint of mockery and sarcasm, sending chills down one's spine.
Butterfly Tianna's heart was in her throat. She gripped her Nichirin Blade tightly and kept telling herself to stay calm.
"You'd better not move around."
Ryuji glanced at the Nichirin Blade in her hand: "Although I don't want to kill women, that's on the condition that they don't cause me any trouble."
Was it noticed? How did he figure it out?
Butterfly Tianna's palms were sweating nervously. How could this be? She hadn't revealed anything, but the other party still managed to sense her inner thoughts?
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!
Butterfly Girl, you're a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, you can do it!
You have companions behind you who need your protection. Keep going, you can do it!
She gradually tightened her grip on the Nichirin Blade in her hand.
Then Longli yawned and said lazily, "Now I'm giving you a choice: either stand still and don't move, or I'll break your legs."
"You demon, what are you talking about!" Butterfly Tianna suddenly mustered up courage from somewhere, raised her Nichirin Blade, and slashed at Ryuri.
"The breath of flowers, the fifth form, the fruitless peony!"
"Huh?" Longli raised his eyes slightly.
Then, with a "ding," he easily caught the Nichirin Blade with two fingers.
"What!" Butterfly Tianna's pupils trembled violently. She originally thought that although the gap between herself and the Upper Moon was large, it was not this large.
However, reality dealt her a heavy blow; her strongest attack was easily caught by this ghost with just two fingers.
A deep sense of despair welled up inside her, as if the whole world had collapsed at that moment.
Long Li narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing within them.
She suddenly pulled hard and snatched the Nichirin Blade from Butterfly's hand.
Then, she darted forward and quickly pressed herself against Butterfly Tianna, their bodies pressed tightly together, facing each other directly.
At this moment, Long Li's eyes became extremely sharp, and his aura also became sharp, like a sharp sword piercing straight into people's hearts.
What kind of breathing were you doing just now?
"Flower Breathing? Who is Enkawa Renkaze to you?"
At this distance, Butterfly Tianna could even smell the murderous aura emanating from Ryuri. That aura was icy and bone-chilling, as if it could freeze a person's soul.
She opened her mouth wide, but found that she could not make a sound. Her mind went blank and her body became extremely stiff.
Ryuri brought his nose close to Butterfly Tianna's face and sniffed gently: "You don't have Yan Chuan's scent on you." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of doubt and disappointment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp aura around Long Li vanished, and he returned to his original position, his eyes regaining their previous lazy expression.
"What on earth are you doing?" Akaza frowned, looking at Ryuri with displeasure.
Long Li grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth: "Hehe, you've mistaken me for someone else." His tone was relaxed, yet carried a chilling undertone.
The next moment, a barrier suddenly appeared in front of everyone, enveloping the group of people in the distance.
Butterfly Tianna stared wide-eyed in horror. Before she could even do anything, she saw the hidden members instantly devoured by the Blood Demon Technique from the dragon and vanish without a trace.
Boom! A loud bang echoed in Butterfly Tianna's brain.
She felt her world completely collapse. Just a second ago, she was telling herself she would protect everyone, but the next second, everyone was dying right in front of her.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
"Everyone..."
Her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, staring blankly in the direction where everyone had disappeared. The helplessness and despair in her heart even robbed her of the courage to resist.
"The Demon Slayer Corps is getting worse with each generation."
Akaza gave Butterfly Field a disdainful look.
"She's a girl, so you should be gentle with her."
Longli squatted down next to Butterfly Tianna with a grin: "Little girl, they're not dead, do you want to save them?"
"What...what did you say...?"
A gentle smile appeared on Longli's face. Under the moonlight, it was as if a soft light enveloped him, and his whole being radiated the glow of maternal love.
"I didn't kill them, I just need you to do me a little favor. If you help me, they can come back alive."
"You wicked devil, do you think I'd believe your nonsense?!"
Butterfly Tianna clenched her teeth, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes; she was in despair.
Longli gently stroked her hair, her alluring face in the moonlight resembling a devil: "But now you have no choice but to listen to me."
"Sweetie, my patience has its limits."
As he spoke, Ryuri quietly released his Blood Demon Art, allowing Butterfly Tana to see the Hidden Members struggling under his Blood Demon Art.
Butterfly Tianna was startled, then her eyes widened.
They really didn't die!!
This ghost wasn't lying to her!?
She raised her head in humiliation: "What do you want me to do?"
"That's a good boy!"
Long Li laughed, like a big bad wolf who had successfully lured a little girl away!
"Hey, we need to go somewhere, but we need you to show us the way."
