Luring Singles in Just to Slaughter Them

"This is..."

Tengen Uzui's eyes contracted sharply at the man's appearance. This was the first time he had seen anything like this: a demon who should already have been dead had actually split off another demon.

Just as he stood there in a daze, the demon who had suddenly appeared darted forward, raising a lethally poisoned sickle and thrusting it viciously at Tengen Uzui with a rush of cold air.

Tengen Uzui's eyes narrowed. This demon's speed was extraordinary. He hurriedly raised one of his massive blades to block the attack, his feet involuntarily retreating several steps. The words "Upper Rank Six" were clearly etched in the eyes of this newly appeared, hideous demon as well.

"My dear little sister, how did you get your head cut off again?" the new demon asked Daki, a trace of tenderness appearing on his ugly, savage face.

"Brother, he looked down on me! Hurry up and kill him! He said I'm not an Upper Rank, but I'm really strong! I work really hard, too!!" With her backup here, Daki began whining in an almost human way, pointing at Tengen Uzui.

"What's going on? There are two Upper Rank Sixes? Judging by his strength, could this demon be the main body?"

Tengen Uzui leaped to Ye Chen's side. He felt that this newly appeared demon was the true Upper Rank Six. After all, the newcomer was already gaining the upper hand against him. This was the kind of pressure he expected from facing an Upper Rank.

"I don't think so. Upper Rank Six is probably two demons in one."

Ye Chen spoke with a smile, showing no panic over the additional demon. After all, he knew that this newcomer was Gyutaro, who shared the position of Upper Rank Six with Daki and was her older biological brother, who had been with her since their human days.

"Aaaah!! It was you! You're the one who cut off my sister's head!!"

Gyutaro looked Tengen Uzui over, his expression growing more vicious with every passing moment. "You're pretty muscular. No scars on your face, either. You're over six feet tall, aren't you? Popular with girls, too, huh? How enviable!"

"You've got a good eye!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen gave him a thumbs-up, seemingly impressed by his judgment. "He's got three wives, you know!"

"..." Gyutaro's expression froze for a moment at those words. Then his eyes became bloodshot, and he stared at Tengen Uzui as though he were the man who had murdered his father. "Aaaah!!! You have three wives?! I'll never forgive you!! Never!!!"

Watching Gyutaro go mad with jealousy, Tengen Uzui felt helpless. Apparently, being too outstanding wasn't a good thing, either-it really attracted hatred. But things soon became unpleasant for him. Like a rabid dog, Gyutaro flashed toward him in an instant and unleashed a frenzy of attacks.

"Yes, yes! Kill him, big brother!!"

Seeing Tengen Uzui being pushed back, Daki kept cheering from a distance. But before she could finish, pain exploded across her face, and she went flying more than a hundred meters down the street before crashing into a building.

"Quit playing cheerleader for no reason. It's not like I'm invisible."

Ye Chen shook out his foot. This was his first time aiming a blow at a woman's face, and Daki was actually quite attractive. But since she was a demon, there was no need to worry about that. He had hit her, and that was that.

"Damn it!! You hit my face! You bastard!!"

Daki crawled out of the debris. The right side of her face had caved in, though it was already regenerating at an astonishing speed.

She felt utterly humiliated today. She could excuse Tengen Uzui cutting off her head by claiming he had ambushed her, but she hadn't even managed to react to this guy's kick. It was downright bizarre. Am I really that weak?

"Hey, where are you looking? Come on, I'll take you flying."

But just as Daki crawled out, Ye Chen appeared in front of her. He grabbed her head, exhaled deeply, and tensed every muscle in his body. Then, putting all his strength into it, he hurled Daki into the sky.

"Aaaah!!!" Daki was flying so fast that she could no longer make out anything around her. But she knew that boy had thrown her into the air, and at this speed, she had no idea when she would fall back to the ground.

Watching the tiny black speck disappear into the sky, Ye Chen clapped his hands clean and called to Gyutaro, who was still overpowering Tengen Uzui in the distance. "Look, your sister's gone sky-high."

"..." Both Tengen Uzui and Gyutaro were briefly stunned. Then Gyutaro roared, launching even fiercer attacks at Tengen Uzui.

Tengen Uzui was driven back again and again, feeling utterly helpless. Why the hell are you provoking him at a time like this?

Gyutaro was too crazed, and Tengen Uzui felt he might not be able to beat him. Fending off his attacks, he leaped to Ye Chen's side and asked, "Why didn't you cut that demon's head off? Why throw her who knows where instead?"

"Cutting her head off wouldn't kill her anyway. Might as well beat her up like this. Besides, relax." Ye Chen waved a hand and continued, "I threw her straight up. She should come down soon."

Just as Ye Chen finished speaking, a figure fell from the sky and slammed into the ground, shaking the entire area. The impact smashed a crater into the street, and several spurts of blood erupted from within.

The corners of Tengen Uzui's mouth twitched violently. That was brutal. Hadn't it been thirty or forty seconds since Ye Chen threw her? She must have gone at least a thousand meters into the air. Just how strong was this boy? It was terrifying.

"Cough, cough..." Daki crawled out from below, covered in blood. Before she could even unleash any of her abilities, she had been beaten so badly that she was questioning her entire existence. This was horrifying. What kind of monster was this boy? Being fast was one thing, but his strength wasn't even human.

"Beating up weaklings is boring. All right, let's switch. Since you're having so much trouble with this ugly bastard, leave him to me."

Ye Chen patted Tengen Uzui on the shoulder, then walked toward Gyutaro.

"Can you handle him?" Tengen Uzui was doubtful. But considering how Ye Chen had pounded Daki into the ground-no, into the sky-even if he couldn't defeat Gyutaro, he should be able to hold him off for a while. Once Tengen Uzui dealt with Daki, he could go help him.

"Damn it!! I refuse to believe this!!" Daki's face twisted viciously as well. Being beaten repeatedly had thoroughly enraged her. A third eye appeared on her forehead, and ribbons coiled around her before lashing out at Tengen Uzui.

"A Blood Demon Art?" Tengen Uzui narrowed his eyes. This demon was finally bringing out her big moves.

"Ha! Ugly demon, take this!!"

Ye Chen raised his Long Sword and clashed with Gyutaro. Being called ugly by Ye Chen infuriated Gyutaro, and he refused to give an inch against his assault, unleashing a furious barrage with his two sickles.

Ye Chen was rather pleased. It had been a long time since he had encountered a demon who could take this much punishment. Ever since fighting Muzan, every demon encounter had turned into a one-sided slaughter. It was utterly boring. Although Gyutaro wasn't particularly strong, as long as Ye Chen didn't use his Breathing Style, he could still enjoy the fight.

After an exchange of attacks, Ye Chen and Gyutaro each drew back. Suddenly, Gyutaro looked at Ye Chen and laughed, pointing at a scented pouch hanging from his waist. "Hehehe, you look so refined, but a grown man like you actually carries a little scented sachet around!!!"

"Oh, you mean this?"

Looking at the little scented sachet he was pointing to, Ye Chen felt a little helpless. It was the protective charm Makomo had given him before he left. But he didn't care about Gyutaro's mockery at all. Instead, he said, "Is it funny? A girl gave me this."

Then Ye Chen widened his eyes and asked Gyutaro, "Have you got one?"

"You're asking to die! What's wrong with you?!" Gyutaro looked as miserable as if he had swallowed a mouthful of shit. Being forced to endure Tengen Uzui's romantic bragging was bad enough, but now even a teenage brat was rubbing his love life in his face. And every time, Gyutaro had been the one to start it. These Demon Slayer Corps members were fucking outrageous, always luring lonely singles in just to slaughter them.
