The demon Chenjie had never imagined it.
Those swordsmen who had always seemed so weak and powerless.
Would prove so troublesome this time.
Were they... really the same Demon Slayer Corps he had encountered before?
Because he usually operated over in Kyushu.
This demon from the countryside had not encountered a Demon Slayer Corps swordsman in a year or two.
Naturally, he had no idea that every swordsman in the Corps now fought like a dragon or a tiger.
Not only had every one of them undergone paramilitary Special Forces Squad training.
They had also systematically studied demons' Blood Demon Arts and fighting methods.
Besides, this was the final All-Out Battle.
Those assigned to intercept the demons were all elites within the Demon Slayer Corps.
Among the frontline combatants.
Even the weakest swordsman had mastered Total Concentration.
Or what Xia Xi called [Breathing Style lv.3].
And even when these swordsmen were weaker than the demons they encountered.
They could defeat stronger opponents through coordinated combat.
They generally formed a triangular battle formation, with one attacking and another supporting from the flank.
The third roamed, filling gaps and providing rescue.
If they could hold their own against a demon head-on, the flanker would join in while the two sides were locked in combat, amplifying their advantage.
Alternatively, they employed a two-at-a-time rotation.
Two fought, and after a certain amount of time, the third replaced whichever was in worse condition.
If they fell into a disadvantage.
Two would hold off the demon's attacks while the third seized an opening to replace a companion and save the situation.
Of course, because some swordsmen from the Northern Region Dojo carried different equipment.
Some would also catch a demon off guard and unload a burst of wisteria bullets into them.
At this moment, as far
