"You're really a very strange person."
Longli dodged Chifeng's attacks: "We've never met before, but you seem to have some deep-seated grudge against me, coming at me with murderous intent right from the start."
"Evil spirit!"
Chifeng's eyes were bloodshot: "Do you recognize this knife?"
Ryuji glanced at the Nichirin Blade in his hand: "Heh, I really have no recollection of that!"
As he spoke, he kicked Chifeng away.
Chifeng steadied himself with a series of flips in the air, then pounced on Ryuri like a hungry wolf: "Take a good look at this Nichirin Blade. Ten years ago, you killed its master! He was my brother, and from that day on, I swore to cut off your head to avenge him!"
Ryuji sighed: "Although I really want to acknowledge you, I'm sorry, I've killed far too many Pillars in the past ten years. I don't know which one you're talking about?"
Chifeng gripped the Nichirin Blade tighter, veins bulging on his forehead. Anyone who heard Ryuri's words would be enraged!
He was panting heavily, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Then take a look at this move, do you remember it now!"
"The Breath of the Wind, Form Five, the Cold Autumn Wind Falling on the Mountain!"
"Huh? It's the Breath of Wind!" Ryu's eyes lit up. "Are you the Wind Pillar? Is your younger brother also the Wind Pillar? Let me think... Hmm, is your younger brother a burly, rugged man?"
"Huh? Isn't that right? Let me think, which of the Pillars I killed was the Wind Pillar... Oh? Was it that boy named Akinoto?"
"That's not right either. Judging from your expression, it seems like I guessed wrong. Honestly, couldn't you have given me a hint?" Longli said resentfully.
Chifeng had never been so furious. With each name Longli uttered, he felt his anger flare up even more. Those were his former comrades-in-arms! Their gentle faces were still vividly displayed before Chifeng's eyes, but now they were just cold names in the mouth of this demon, his spoils of war!
Akamine gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, blood trickling down the hilt, but he seemed oblivious.
"You evil spirit, what do you take life for! How can you kill so many people and still talk about it so calmly? What do you take humanity for!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ryu chuckled softly, "I just remembered something. Among the Wind Pillars I killed, there was one who looked a lot like you. His name was something like Jiyin... Am I right?"
Chifeng tightened his grip on the Nichirin Blade slightly.
"It seems I was right."
A smile appeared on Long Li's lips, but despite the smile, a murderous intent suddenly emanated from his body!
Swift Concealment!
That guy who killed himself the moment he became a demon!
He would never forget that day! He had just become a demon, just met that person, and it turned out to be the Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, who wanted to kill him after finally escaping from hell!
They have the audacity to say that anyone who says such nonsense deserves to die!
What a fine Demon Slayer Corps! They spout such righteous words, but where were they when my mother and I were being tortured?
He finally gained the power to kill those people, and then the Demon Slayer Corps came knocking on his door!
Did I do anything wrong at the time?
He just wanted to avenge his mother.
He remembered what the man in front of him had just said.
What do I value my own life? If those people's lives count as lives, then what about my own mother's?
Demon Slayer Corps...
Ryuu suddenly gave up resisting and used his body to withstand Akamine's slash. This was a Pillar's slash, and even though Ryuu was now an Upper Moon, he was already in a bad way. Moreover, Akamine was aiming to cut him in the neck, but he moved his bones and made the slash get stuck in his collarbone.
"Is becoming a ghost unforgivable?"
The place suddenly became calm.
"Your Demon Slayer Corps' goal seems to be nothing more than killing demons, and you don't seem to care about what those demons suffered in their previous lives."
"Enough talk!" Chifeng forcefully drew his sword: "Breathing of the Wind, First Form, Dust Whirlwind, Slash!"
"Ha!" Longli laughed: "That guy back then really looks just like you now. He was the first Pillar I killed, but the most regrettable thing is that I couldn't take him down back then?"
"Enough, shut up!" Faced with Chifeng's frenzied attacks, Longli did not resist, but only dodged.
"Lord Akaza, how are things on your end?"
"I'm doing great right now!"
Akaza licked his lips, staring excitedly at the people in front of him.
Two Demon Slayer Corps members stood in front of him. Judging from the fighting spirit emanating from them, these two should also be Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps!
How lucky I am to have met so many pillars at once.
This made Akaza, who had always been at a loss when it came to women and was already desperate for sex, suddenly feel like a starving wolf that hadn't eaten for days seeing meat, and he couldn't wait to make his move.
"I'm sorry, Lord Akaza, but I have to pour some cold water on your enthusiasm first."
"Huh?" Akaza frowned.
"It's almost dawn."
Longli smiled and reminded him.
Akaza's face immediately turned ugly. If Ryu hadn't said that he hadn't noticed, it would have been almost dawn before he realized it. That meant they had to finish the battle quickly and kill the two pillars as fast as possible!
At that moment, he turned his head and suddenly met Long Li's eyes. Long Li narrowed his eyes, his gaze full of amusement, and he was immediately taken aback.
"What?!"
"Blood Demon Art, Blood Domain Soars to the Heavens!"
Suddenly, Ryu unleashed his Blood Demon Art, and the moment it appeared, all the Hidden Members who had been trapped within it were exposed!
Standing to the side, Butterfly Girl immediately shouted, "Lord Akamine, this demon wants to kill everyone!"
"With me here, this kind of thing won't happen!" Chifeng said with a stern face.
"It really makes me feel safe." Longli suddenly pressed himself against Chifeng's back, causing Chifeng's body to stiffen.
Wow, that's fast! This ghost is incredibly fast!
But Longli didn't attack Chifeng. Instead, he looked at the hidden members in front of him with a smile and said, "Take a good look at them." His voice was tinged with a strange and smug tone.
"Roar!" No sooner had Long Li finished speaking than the hidden members of the Blood Demon Art suddenly roared. Their eyes turned bloodshot, and their faces contorted in a ferocious expression, as if they were being controlled by some kind of force.
"Wait, something's not right!" Everyone gasped, staring in shock at the Blood Demon Arts members. They realized that the aura of these hidden members had completely changed; it was no longer human, but had become something far more familiar to them!
"She, they..." Butterfly Tianna covered her mouth in terror, her arms trembling uncontrollably.
"You, you turned all these children into ghosts!!!" Chi Feng's neck veins bulged as he slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with a hatred that wished he could tear Long Li to pieces.
"Don't you Demon Slayer Corps always say that demons should be killed? Look at these are your former comrades. Are you going to kill them now?" Ryuu left with a smile, his body suddenly flashing to the side before disappearing into the darkness.
"Lord Akaza, let's not bother these important figures of the Demon Slayer Corps with what's to come!" His laughter echoed in the air, sending chills down everyone's spines.
