The moment Xiao Yi activated her Demon Slayer Mark state, her entire body was wreathed in a layer of mist.
There were a few points worth mentioning about this mist. First, unlike the Demon Slayer Corps' iconic red marks, Xiao Yi and Chen Xiaojun's marks had unique colors. Perhaps this was because they were in a different world, where their inner attributes had merged with the external environment.
