Evil Demons Shall Receive the Punishment of Eating Rocks

Dan Lei was actually missing information about Sickle Leaf; after all, the original work only vaguely mentioned his methods involved poison, and his name suggested a connection to plagues.

As for the Tree demon and Bat demon, it would be truly bizarre if those two lesser demons knew Lower Rank Three's trump cards.

However, Dan Lei wasn't so timid that he wouldn't act without information.

Therefore, Sickle Leaf could only strengthen his skin; it wasn't a big deal.

Seeing that his sword hadn't severed Sickle Leaf's arm, Dan Lei decisively abandoned his sword. Two vortexes appeared in his hands, and he thrust them forward, launching two ice blade vortexes.

Water Breathing: Fourth Form - Cold Slither.

There was no doubt who this move was cosplaying; some young lady from the Gamiro family would have given it a like.

Sickle Leaf was completely unprepared for this and was sent flying by the ice blade vortexes. His body was instantly shredded, and by the time he landed, he had already transformed into a Blood Demon.

However, such injuries were merely painful for a demon, and it immediately got back on its feet, roaring.

"Brat! Regardless of whether you're Lord Doma's subordinate, you've angered me!"

With that, Sickle Leaf took a deep breath, as if preparing to spit something out of his mouth.

But his wind-up was too long. Dan Lei, familiar with human anatomy and movement, saw his neck tilt slightly, his mouth open, and knew he was about to inhale. He decisively replaced a yellow crystal from his back pouch and threw it directly into Sickle Leaf's mouth.

Sickle Leaf never expected Dan Lei to throw a "stone" at him. He immediately sucked it in, and it got stuck in his throat.

Then, Sickle Leaf's neck instantly swelled and ruptured, with several sharp stone spikes piercing through the skin from the inside.

A large amount of black mist also leaked from the base of the stone spikes, mixed with blood, from the stone and skin.

At the same time, Sickle Leaf also leaked from below. Since what was supposed to be sprayed from his mouth was blocked by the stone, it had to come out through his lower extremities.

Dan Lei was using the gem magic that the Tohsaka family was most proficient in.

Gem magic itself had no patent; the Tohsaka family was merely a prominent practitioner.

This was because it was an advanced form of Replacement Magic, the principle being to replace magic power and spells into gems for storage, activating and throwing them when needed.

When creating combat puppets, the magic release of the puppets required similar techniques, but gems were expensive. Combat puppets with ranged abilities or special magic were high-end items; ordinary ones could only fight in close combat.

Therefore, Dan Lei, who was proficient in both Replacement Magic and puppet creation, naturally knew gem magic, and it was even Aozaki Touko's unique technique.

As for the origin of the gems, Dan Lei had naturally confiscated them after sweeping through human trafficking organizations.

In Sickle Leaf's understanding, a demon only had one Blood Demon Art. Dan Lei had been using ice the entire time, so it never imagined that the "stone" Dan Lei threw could have such a function.

At this moment, its mouth was full of rocks, and only a little skin connected its neck. It looked extremely pathetic.

However, it had not lost its combat ability. It propped itself up with its arm, dragging the rock spikes, and lifted its head, then threw it aside.

Then, it intended to pick up its head and reattach it.

But Dan Lei wouldn't let it reattach its head so easily.

Although Sickle Leaf was surrounded by the filth it had created, Dan Lei, by enveloping himself in the power of abundant destiny, was not afraid of poisons invading through touch.

As for breathing, his body directly entered a magic power internal circulation, allowing Dan Lei to use Breathing Techniques without breathing.

Therefore, Dan Lei directly blocked his nose with ice, closed his mouth, and unleashed Water Breathing: Third Form - Thunderclap and Flash., charging towards Sickle Leaf with water and electricity trailing behind him.

Only now did Sickle Leaf realize Dan Lei wasn't a demon, as it recognized the "Flash" technique.

But it was too late. A headless body was already clumsy in its movements, and it was facing Dan Lei, whose physical strength was not inferior to that of a demon.

Moreover, Dan Lei had also used Reinforcement Magic to enhance himself during the fight, and the speed of the Flash, with its water and electrical arcs, was terrifying.

In just one exchange, Sickle Leaf's already headless body was cut into a cripple.

Although Sickle Leaf's limbs could still move, Dan Lei used magic threads to hang them in the air the next second.

Then, Dan Lei directly blocked Sickle Leaf's mouth with ice, pierced through its temple with an ice pick, and nailed it to a nearby wooden pillar. He placed a slowly rotating ice blade beneath its neck to ensure it couldn't heal and would continue to bleed.

Afterward, he replaced a large jar from a nearby house, setting up a magic-sealing and preservation formation inside with mercury, and placed it directly beneath Sickle Leaf's neck to collect the blood.

Next, Dan Lei dragged Sickle Leaf's body over and began to dissect it.

At this moment, five Kasugai Crows flew near the small town. Five people wearing Demon Slayer Corps uniforms with the character "滅" on their backs entered the town.

They paid no mind to the chaos in the town and headed straight for Dan Lei, who was dissecting Sickle Leaf.

Then, they saw a "demon" disemboweling a person's body, with the dismembered limbs of a "person" hanging around, and the person's head nailed to a pillar.

In this situation, who was the demon was obvious. The five Demon Slayer Corps members immediately drew their swords.

However, Dan Lei had already experienced being mistaken for a demon when he was with Giyu Tomioka, so he wasn't interested in having another misunderstanding with these ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members.

So, the moment they drew their swords, five magic threads directly pressed against their sword hilts, preventing them from even drawing their blades.

Then, Dan Lei replaced a Nichirin Blade into his hand, stood up, turned, and roared sternly.

"You lot, can't you even tell who the demon is?! Look at the head nailed over there, that's Lower Rank Three! I'm dissecting a rare Lower Rank body, don't disturb me! Go suppress the chaos in the town first!"

These five Demon Slayer Corps members were intimidated by Dan Lei's roar and became somewhat convinced. Seeing the Nichirin Blade in his hand, they believed him even more. Looking at the head on the pillar, the wide-open eyes indeed had the characters "[Lower Rank]" and "[Three]" within them.

At this, the five Demon Slayers directly mistook Dan Lei for a Pillar. After all, ordinary Demon Slayers couldn't possibly know all the Pillars, so they quickly stood at attention, bowed, and apologized.

"Apologies! We didn't know you were busy, sir! We'll handle the town's chaos immediately!"

With that, the five Demon Slayers rushed off in a fluster to quell the town's chaos.

As for Dan Lei, he felt that these five tools had arrived at the perfect time, so he wouldn't have to solve the town's problems himself.

After collecting information from Sickle Leaf's body, Dan Lei had also filled a jar with its blood. He promptly sealed and preserved it, otherwise, once Sickle Leaf died, the magic in the blood would quickly dissipate, leaving a jar of foul-smelling dead blood.

After finishing, Dan Lei used his Nichirin Blade to prematurely end Sickle Leaf's existence.

This unfortunate character from the original work at least didn't have to die miserably at the hands of his boss this time, and he even contributed somewhat to the elimination of demons. Truly cause for celebration, cause for celebration.
