Achieving the Strongest Demonic Blade From Demon Slayer Starting with Chapter 28

"Absolutely not!"

Even Inosuke in the back could not watch anymore, and he pulled his voice and cursed, "You are really a disgusting bastard."

"What is disgusting about it? I call this pursuing true love!"

Zenitsu flushed red, showing a look of absolute determination.

Tanjiro and Nezuko were truly speechless, too.

Even more speechless than them was Lin Fan in the blade. He never expected that he, a pillar of proper youth, would actually have a day where he was targeted by a pervert...

Fencing or whatever should just be forgotten...

However, Lin Fan suddenly developed a mischievous streak out of curiosity. How miserable would Zenitsu feel if he actually knew he was a guy?

Just thinking about it was so exciting he could hardly stand it!

And Zenitsu on the outside could not help but shudder.

Suddenly he had a déjà vu feeling of being watched.

Tanjiro turned his head from the front and reminded the two of them with warnings.

"The Mount Natagumo we are heading to this time is very likely a trap prepared by Muzan Kibutsuji. If special circumstances arise and you prepare to run, you must follow me closely."

Inosuke and Zenitsu both nodded.

After the previous attack by Kamanue, the two of them also understood the importance of these words!

Especially Zenitsu—if not for Nezuko and Ashura Maru driving him on, he would never go to any Mount Natagumo!

Chapter 36 The Last Gentleness One Can Give

The three of them trotted all the way.

They ran from sunrise to sunset, facing the dusk until night fell, and the three of them finally rushed to the destination of this trip.

Mount Natagumo.

However, just as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the three of them spotted a boy wearing Demon Slayer Corps uniform crawling along a path not far away.

The boy was clearly still alive, raising his head with tear-filled eyes as he begged bitterly.

"Save... save me..."

"It is someone from the Demon Slayer Corps!"

Tanjiro also confirmed his identity, and the three of them immediately ran forward.

And Lin Fan gave a warning at this moment.

"This guy has a special kind of thread on him that is hard to see with the naked eye. This might be a trap."

Hearing this, Tanjiro narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sure enough, he discovered the anomaly under the moonlight. He saw that behind the person crawling on the ground, there was a slight reflection under the moonlight, and he could tell that they were nearly transparent threads.

With no time to think, Tanjiro immediately drew his blade, locked onto the position of the threads, and slashed across horizontally.

A single slash passed through.

The threads were all severed.

Tanjiro hurriedly squatted down and asked.

"Are you alright? What on earth happened inside?"

After confirming that he was truly saved.

That Demon Slayer Corps member was just shy of kowtowing to Tanjiro, and he hurriedly recounted his encounter inside.

"Our Kasugai Crows gave us orders, and our team had a total of ten people. But after entering the mountain for a while, the members suddenly started killing each other directly...

I was at the very back, and coupled with running fast, I managed to escape here... You guys must not go in. Aside from the Hashira, no matter how many people come, it is useless!"

Tanjiro also smelled that strong scent belonging to demons in the air, but he still kept his expression unchanged and said, "We are here to back you up, so rest assured."

Beside him, Inosuke also stood up, twitching the dual blades at his waist as he strode to the front. "Let me take the vanguard, you guys just tremble and follow behind me!"

Compared to the two eager to try.

Zenitsu had already been scared into squatting on the ground, his body trembling with fear, clearly frightened by that man's words.

"How terrifying. Can we not go in?"

"No."

Tanjiro immediately refused.

Even with the fear, Zenitsu still braced himself and stood up. After all, only staying close to Tanjiro's side was the safest.

The three of them gazed at the gloomy dense forest ahead.

Without any hesitation.

Inosuke charged forward first, and Tanjiro and Zenitsu followed closely behind.

Leaving only that rescued Demon Slayer Corps member on the spot, staring at the retreating backs of the few people.

As the three entered the dense forest.

Lin Fan's perception had already enveloped a radius of a thousand meters, instantly sensing the aura of demons, though their strength was not very strong at all.

For Tanjiro as he was now, it was a casual fight. Even so, Lin Fan still did not let down his guard.

He directly reminded him.

"Tanjiro, keep moving straight ahead, and you will encounter a demon very soon."

"Thanks for the warning."

Tanjiro hurriedly expressed his thanks, and then said to the two people beside him.

"Right ahead, there is a demon there!"

"I am going to chop it into pieces! But there really are too many spiderwebs here, it is simply annoying!"

Inosuke looked at the sticky spiderwebs on his hands and body, waving his arms frantically to fling the spiderwebs off his body.

The expression of Zenitsu following behind remained grotesque.

This time, Tanjiro led the way in front, only to bump into a surviving Demon Slayer Corps member along the way, but they had barely exchanged two sentences.

Strange noises came from the forest.

Several Demon Slayer Corps members walked out from it, except they looked stiff in their movements and lacked consciousness, obviously controlled by some kind of ability.

Lin Fan did not talk nonsense either, because he sensed a demon with a very strong aura approaching this side, and he immediately warned.

"Never mind these controlled people; go kill the demon hiding behind the scenes first. There is going to be a fierce battle next!

That demon is right in your left-hand direction!"

With that.

Tanjiro understood immediately. Something called a fierce battle by Ashura Maru would definitely not be weaker than the Lower Rank Six they encountered before.

Obviously, the incoming demon must also be one of the Twelve Kizuki!

"I understand!"

With no time for idle chatter, he immediately reminded Inosuke and the others, "I am going to kill the demon controlling these people, I will leave this to you guys!"

As he spoke, his legs exerted force, and his entire body dashed straight toward the left side.

People blocking the way along the path.

Were all easily sliced through their threads by a single blade, completely unable to stop Tanjiro for even a single second!

However, along the way.

Tanjiro saw a girl controlled by threads, and behind her as well as at her feet lay the corpses of several Demon Slayer Corps members.

As for herself, she was tearful, her eyes filled with despair as she said, "Leave this place quickly, my body is not under my control..."

Before she could finish.

Her body moved of its own accord, charging forward swiftly with a blade in hand.

Veins bulged on Tanjiro's forehead.

With just a glance, holding his blade in one hand, he instantly rushed forward. In merely a single instant, he severed all the threads on the girl's body.

Without any intention of lingering.

Ignoring the limp girl collapsed on the ground behind him, his figure continued to rush forward.

The further inside, the more similar situations there were.

Two more people appeared one after another, except their limbs looked irregularly twisted and they were drenched in fresh blood.

"You bastards who toy with lives!"

Tanjiro grew furious; this was the first time he had felt such rage.

Lin Fan also stoked the flames at this moment.

"Release your desires, release all of your fury!"

Surprisingly, Tanjiro did not choose to use any words in reply, instead choosing to use physical language directly!

His figure flashed, instantly tearing apart all the threads on the two people.

Behind them, what appeared was a headless corpse, and that corpse had clearly been modified, its hands replaced by two golden blades.

Its muscles were knotted all over, extremely robust.

Yet seeing this, Tanjiro merely held his blade in one hand, a heavy breathing sound coming from his lips, "Water Breathing—Third Form—Flowing Dance!"

His figure stepped with special footwork and shot out violently, instantly dismembering its body along with the threads.

And the female demon hiding not far away manipulating all of this.

Looked entirely white, with red spots on her face, wearing a kimono with killing intent practically bursting from her chest. If Zenitsu saw this,

Lin Fan could already imagine how he would spray blood from his nose and die.

Yet that female demon was already flustered at this moment.

"What to do... what to do, why is this demon slayer so strong... those earrings... could he be the demon slayer that that lord wants killed?

At this distance, I can no longer escape... I am done for... My neck is going to be cut off..."

Because of the fear of death, even her thoughts became chaotic. Yet when she saw Tanjiro rushing toward this side,

Her brain suddenly became somewhat clear.

"However, if I just die like this... I should be able to gain release from this hell..."

Recalling all the torture she had suffered here, she actually raised her hands with a sense of relief, choosing to give up all resistance.

Willing to accept death!

Seeing this, Tanjiro's pupils contracted.

For a demon willing to be decapitated, the only thing he could give was his final gentleness, "Water Breathing—Fifth Form—Blessed Rain After the Drought!"

This time, the blade lacked rushing currents.

All that remained was gentleness, the water droplets stirred up by the blade resembling rain gently caressing a cheek.

When Tanjiro landed.

The female demon's life had also reached its end, yet she died without experiencing any pain whatsoever.

As the head fell to the ground.

Tanjiro turned around, locking gazes with it.

In those eyes, there was only pity and gentleness. That gaze was mixed with no malice, just gentle treatment—so gentle that one could not help but sink into it.

This had nothing to do with anything else, it was merely the final pity for the female demon's desolate fate.

This also successfully moved the female demon, right before death.

He only heard it open its mouth and say.
