It seemed the Twelve Kizuki weren't very friendly to their subordinates either.
They blew their subordinates' heads off at the slightest provocation.
They weren't as considerate as the Demon Slayer Corps.
As an upstanding young man of the modern era, Su Chen couldn't stand leaders like that.
Without a second thought, Su Chen kicked the door in!
The tremendous crash immediately alerted every demon in the room.
"A human?!" All the demons stared at Su Chen as though facing a formidable enemy.
They stared at one another, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.
The scrape of metal rang out.
The masked Su Chen slowly drew the Nichirin Blade at his waist, and his powerful presence instantly enveloped the entire room!
"Is he a Hashira?!"
The headless demon exclaimed in alarm, "How did he reach the mountaintop?!"
Keeping his guard up against Su Chen, Rokuro looked outside the door. When he found no one else there, he relaxed slightly.
According to the intelligence Rokuro had received, the approaching Hashira should have been a woman, accompanied by many Corps members.
It shouldn't have been this masked man in black before him.
"He isn't a Hashira." Rokuro's mood instantly brightened, and he flashed a cruel smile. "Probably a little lamb who lost his way?"
"Not a Hashira?"
Hearing their leader say that, the demons relaxed.
"Hahaha! I thought someone impressive had shown up, but he's just a little piece of trash!"
"I'm getting hungry, too."
"With those skinny arms and legs, there doesn't seem to be enough to go around!"
The demons couldn't help bursting into laughter.
As long as the visitor wasn't a Hashira, the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps were no different from food in their eyes.
"Still, I never expected a meal to turn up here out of nowhere!"
Hanging upside down from the ceiling, the Spider Demon couldn't resist teasing the drunken demon plastered against the wall. "Lao Duan, did you order delivery?"
"Of course not..."
The demon named Lao Duan had barely opened his mouth when his voice abruptly cut off.
A cold gleam flashed across his head!
Su Chen appeared behind the drunken demon, his Nichirin Blade raised high. "Now, is anyone willing to listen to me?"
Silence.
A deathly hush fell over the room!
One moment, Lao Duan had been grinning and joking; the next, the man in black had severed his neck!
Su Chen's strike had been so fast that none of the demons had reacted.
Those reflexes were definitely Hashira-level!
The Spider Demon hanging upside down from the ceiling reacted first, abruptly spitting silk at Su Chen.
This was his Blood Demon Art, Spider Web Binding!
If Su Chen so much as touched it, he would be poisoned by its venom. Even a Hashira would collapse to the ground.
The Spider Demon was already imagining how he would avenge Lao Duan!
But to his astonishment, Su Chen vanished the instant he unleashed his Blood Demon Art.
Su Chen disappeared from everyone's sight once again!
"Above!" a demon cried out.
All the demons looked up.
At some point, Su Chen had broken through the roof and flown into the air.
A low voice called softly from Su Chen's lips.
"Bee Breathing, Sixth Form: Poison Whirlpool Rotation."
Using the wisteria he carried with him, Su Chen swept past the demons in the room at incredible speed.
"Bee Breathing, Third Form: Swaying Dance!"
As he unleashed the move, Su Chen's speed surged again. Taking advantage of the instant the wisteria paralyzed the demons, he severed every last one's neck.
Every movement was completed in an instant.
Only two seconds passed between Su Chen drawing his blade and coming to a stop.
But at that very instant.
Rokuro, who had been watching the situation all along, suddenly sprang into action!
Blood instantly covered his hands, and a powerful force erupted from his body.
"Got you!"
Rokuro shouted and charged straight at Su Chen.
Slash!
Blood splattered as Rokuro clutched his severed hands and sank painfully to his knees.
An incredulous cry escaped his mouth. "How is this possible?!"
"Nothing impossible about it." A voice like an asura's rang out beside Rokuro's ear.
Su Chen's blade settled before Rokuro's neck, his overwhelming presence filling Rokuro with uncontrollable despair.
The outcome of this battle had been decided.
Rokuro's eyes were now filled with fear.
What had he just seen?
The man in black had clearly exhausted his strength while beheading the last demon, yet the moment he noticed Rokuro attacking, his body had suddenly regained its vigor.
A palm moving at incredible speed had slapped him straight across the face!
His Blood Demon Art had been interrupted at that very moment.
Then his opponent's body had suddenly begun vibrating at high speed.
And then his hands had been severed!
He had lost in a single exchange. Had he attacked first, his neck might have been severed instead!
Rokuro poured blood power into his hands, hoping to regrow his limbs quickly and keep fighting.
But the next instant, he was dumbfounded.
He couldn't regenerate!
At some point, dense clusters of purple pustules had formed over the severed ends of his arms. The mere sight was horrifying.
"How is this possible?!"
Rokuro tried to stand, but the heart-wrenching pain that followed forced him to his knees again.
At that moment, Su Chen charged at him again.
Seeing this, Rokuro hurriedly lunged aside to keep Su Chen from cutting straight through his neck.
But Su Chen aimed for his legs instead.
From his ankles to the tops of his thighs, Su Chen sliced them off cleanly!
Rokuro roared in agony, "This is impossible!"
He had discovered that his severed legs couldn't regenerate either!
Su Chen couldn't help smiling at the sight.
I coated my blade with highly concentrated wisteria. Of course you're having trouble regenerating, you damned demon.
The next instant, Su Chen was about to sever his opponent's neck.
But Rokuro suddenly shouted, "Koyuki, what are you waiting for?!"
Lower Rank Four, Koyuki?
Without hesitation, Su Chen decisively severed Rokuro's neck.
Sure enough, the next instant, a violent impact struck the spot where Su Chen had been standing.
The beheaded Rokuro shouted, "Stop! Why am I the one who got his head cut off?! Koyuki, you idiot, couldn't you have come out sooner?!"
"No! I didn't know this man would be so fast!"
A new demon suddenly appeared inside the room before Su Chen's eyes.
She had snow-white hair, a pair of sharp horns, a round face, and scarlet, tearful eyes.
Her pupils bore lettering like Rokuro's: Lower Rank Four!
Two Lower Rank demons?
Su Chen carefully managed the distance, standing far away as he began assessing the situation.
The moment Koyuki appeared, she began apologizing incessantly to Rokuro's head.
The hypocritical display made Su Chen quite uncomfortable.
"All right, all right. Rokuro, since your head's already been cut off, just die in peace!"
Just then, another unfamiliar voice came, offering Rokuro words of comfort.
At some point, yet another demon had appeared in the room!
Unlike Koyuki, this demon was tall and thin, his face covered in horrifying scars.
Written in his pupils were the words: Lower Rank Three!
Lower Rank Three, Byōyō!
