"Next strike… will kill me?"
Gyokko stared blankly at Xia Feng for a few seconds.
Then he suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"Hahahahahaha!!"
"Have you reached the end of your rope and started having delusions?"
"Up until now, you haven't even touched a single scale of mine!"
"With what exactly are you going to kill me?"
As he spoke, Gyokko burst out of the jar, moving like lightning.
His body flashed around several times in the surroundings, quickly leaving the range of the naked eye.
Blood Demon Art – Killer Fish Scales!
Xia Feng stood still and took a deep breath.
His wrist moved slightly, the blade wrapped in terrifying sword energy as he prepared to unleash Wind Scar again.
Sensing the terrifying power gathering in Xia Feng's blade, Gyokko actually laughed.
Xia Feng was only human.
Using such a powerful sword technique would definitely consume enormous stamina and energy.
As long as he forced Xia Feng to miss a few times, Xia Feng would inevitably exhaust himself.
Thinking of this, Gyokko immediately turned and dove back into a jar!
Then he activated his Blood Demon Art and instantly teleported into another jar!
He sneered as he poked his head out of the jar, ready to admire Xia Feng's reaction from a different angle.
But the moment he emerged—
He saw Xia Feng standing right in front of him.
"Wh—"
Gyokko's face froze in shock as he tried to speak.
But the only response he received was Xia Feng's demonic grin and a flash of blade light.
"The ghost-catching game is over."
Slash!
The blade flashed.
Gyokko's head flew high into the air, his expression frozen in disbelief.
Even as he was decapitated, he still couldn't understand what had happened.
Xia Feng slowly sheathed his sword and let out a breath.
"You demons always lose the same way."
"Why don't you ever learn?"
"When you're the villain, talk less."
"The more you talk, the faster you die."
He nudged Gyokko's corpse with his foot.
Gyokko's severed head glared at him with a twisted expression.
"What exactly happened… you… how did you…"
"Since you're about to die anyway, I'll tell you."
Xia Feng suddenly interrupted him.
Gyokko immediately shut his mouth, waiting for the explanation.
He was already starting to disintegrate, so time was precious.
Under Gyokko's gaze, Xia Feng crouched down and opened his mouth.
Then the corners of his lips curled upward.
"You thought I'd actually say that?"
"Keep dreaming."
Gyokko's eyes widened instantly.
Before he could curse back, Xia Feng added with a smile,
"By the way, the jars you make are seriously ugly."
"Good thing you became a demon."
"Otherwise you'd probably starve to death trying to make a living with that craftsmanship."
Gyokko's expression twisted more and more with rage.
He gathered all his strength to shout—
But before he could say a single word, Xia Feng grabbed two sticks from the ground and stuffed them into his mouth.
Looking at Gyokko's furious expression, Xia Feng laughed.
"Flame and block."
"That's basic etiquette for internet trolls."
Filled with extreme fury, Gyokko slowly disintegrated.
Watching the head disappear, Xia Feng's smile gradually faded.
"Compared to the people you killed…"
"This repayment is nothing."
After saying that, he turned toward the battlefield where Tanjiro was fighting.
Just as he took a step—
The system notification sounded in his ear.
[You have obtained Gyokko's extreme rage.]
[Reward: 1 Gold Card Draw!]
Xia Feng paused slightly.
The system's reward conditions were truly unpredictable.
Following the sound of battle, he quickly found Tanjiro.
At some point, the water waves around Tanjiro's blade had already transformed into burning flames.
Under Lower Rank Five Rui's shocked gaze, Tanjiro looked like a war god wrapped in fire, launching strike after strike that Rui could barely handle.
Rui strengthened his threads using his Blood Demon Art.
But even that wasn't enough to delay Tanjiro.
Gritting his teeth, Rui threw out a red web of threads.
He had been preparing this web for a while.
Its strength, flexibility, and lethality were more than ten times greater than his previous threads!
He intended to cover Tanjiro with the web and slice him into pieces.
Facing the blood-red spider web, Tanjiro instinctively sensed danger.
But now—
There was no way to retreat.
Tanjiro clenched his teeth and decided to trade injuries for victory.
If he could exchange one arm for Rui's life, it would be worth it!
Mr. Xia Feng is still fighting an Upper Rank demon…
I need to finish this quickly and go help him!
Seeing Tanjiro's reaction, Rui's face twitched.
Why was this kid fighting so desperately?!
They had no personal grudge!
Not far away, Nezuko became anxious.
Earlier Tanjiro had been so dominant she didn't have a chance to help.
But now seeing Tanjiro in danger, she rushed forward.
At that moment—
A figure suddenly flashed past.
Under the descending red web, someone grabbed Tanjiro and pulled him away!
Rui froze.
Then he saw Xia Feng appear not far away.
Xia Feng held Tanjiro by the collar, looking somewhat speechless.
"Have you gone crazy?"
Tanjiro's eyes lit up when he saw him.
"Mr. Xia Feng!"
"You defeated the Upper Rank!"
After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro was no longer the naive rookie he once was.
He knew what kind of monster an Upper Rank demon was.
Even Hashira could die fighting them.
Yet Xia Feng had already defeated one so quickly!
Xia Feng nodded.
"It was only Upper Rank Five."
"If the rank was any higher, it would've been harder."
"Anyway, stop changing the subject."
"We're talking about you now."
Tanjiro scratched his head awkwardly.
"I just wanted to win quickly so I could go help you…"
Xia Feng froze slightly.
The lecture he had prepared suddenly disappeared.
As expected of Tanjiro—
The guy who could raise favorability everywhere in the original story.
He always managed to say something that made people feel awkwardly touched.
Xia Feng coughed.
"Don't do it again."
Tanjiro grinned.
Xia Feng tossed Tanjiro aside and looked at Nezuko.
"Come here, Nezuko."
"It's been a while—give me a reunion hug!"
Nezuko tilted her head.
Then she narrowed her eyes, happily making soft sounds as she ran over and jumped into Xia Feng's arms.
Seeing this scene, Tanjiro felt like crying.
It seemed like…
His little sister was really about to be stolen away.
