Is there another ghost?
When did this ghost appear? Why didn't I sense its presence at all just now?
The stern-faced man noticed Ryu's eyes.
Lower Moon 2?
Is it just the last quarter moon?
"Master."
"Be careful, this ghost is stronger than the two ghosts from before."
"Lord Longli!"
Ume and Gyutaro were overjoyed: "What are you doing here!"
Mei said, "Are you worried about me and my brother?"
"Don't overthink it, I just happened to be passing by."
Mei was still wondering if Lord Ryu was worried about her and was therefore secretly following behind, but Ryu ruthlessly refuted her with a single sentence.
"You should leave. The battle that follows is beyond your capabilities."
Long Li said, "After all, you are still too weak."
"Lord Longli."
Gyutaro looked full of guilt.
As expected, I'm still too useless!
Longli looked down at Mei's head and said, "Take your sister's head."
As soon as he finished speaking, Longli's body disappeared from the spot.
"The call of water, the second form, the waterwheel."
Ryūri's movements were so fast that Gyutaro didn't even see them clearly. By the time he reacted, Ryūri had already collided with the man in the distance!
"You evil spirit, don't pretend I don't exist!"
The stern-faced man spoke coldly.
The Nichirin Blade in his hand blocked Ryūri's palm, and at that moment Ryūri's fingers were only one centimeter away from the boy's eyes.
The boy was trembling with fear. If his master hadn't intervened, he would be dead by now!
"Hey, Mizukawa, stop spacing out!"
The old-fashioned man shouted!
The young Mizukawa was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and swung his Nichirin Blade at Ryuri's arm.
Water Breathing: The Fourth Form of Tide Surge!
Longli quickly dodged backward, avoiding the attack, and while dodging the attack, he did not forget to grab Mei's body.
Seeing you reminds me of someone.
Long looked at the stern-faced man expressionlessly.
"Yesterday I killed someone who looked a lot like you. He claimed to be the Wind Pillar. I wonder what kind of pillar you are."
"What did you say!!!"
The rigid man's arm, gripping the Nichirin Blade, trembled uncontrollably, not from fear, but from rage!
"Is it you who killed Jiyin?!"
His expression was ferocious as he stared at the culprit who had killed his colleagues and comrades, letting out an angry roar: "You demon, listen to me! My name is Haruno Minato, I am the Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, and I am the one who will kill you!"
"Oh? You're also a Pillar!"
Ryuri's eyes changed, and his gaze toward Haruno Minato grew increasingly excited: "Then, if I kill you, Lord Muzan will surely be pleased!"
Haruno Minato said solemnly, "Listen, Mizukawa, I'll deal with this Lower Moon demon. You can handle the other two demons for now."
Although Ryūri's eyes are marked with the Lower Moon, Haruno Minato did not really treat Ryūri as an ordinary Lower Moon demon.
"Yes, Master!"
"Water Breathing Type 9: Water Flow Spray - Chaos!"
Haruno Minato charged toward Ryuri at incredible speed, his Nichirin Blade creating a surging wave as he slashed fiercely!
"Blood Demon Art, Blood Domain Soars to the Heavens!"
Longli stood still, and the next moment his body suddenly disappeared, and the water column attack missed its target.
The water column frowned and disappeared?
No, that's not right, is it a blood demon technique that interferes with vision and perception?
"Lord Longli!"
Mei, who was in the distance, let out a cry of surprise.
"Plum, don't get distracted!"
Gyutaro's face was grim: "Although we can't help Lord Ryūri, we absolutely cannot hold him back!"
Gyutaro stared intently at the boy named Mizukawa in front of him.
This battle has been divided into two parts since the very beginning!
For Gyutaro, being disliked by Ryūri-sama for being weak and unable to help him was already painful enough. If he continued to hold Ryūri-sama back, then he truly wouldn't deserve to live.
"Demons, your opponent is me!"
With a roar, Mizukawa launched another attack on Gyutaro.
...
"Think carefully about how to deal with this. The Wind Pillar died at the hands of this guy, so we can't be careless just because he's a Lower Moon."
Haruno Minato closed her eyes and calmed her breathing.
Ryuri, who was hiding in the shadows, frowned upon seeing this scene. These Demon Slayer Corps Pillars were indeed difficult to deal with.
The guy named Jiyin was the same. Although my Blood Demon Art interfered with his senses, it was completely ineffective. To these people, as long as I showed even the slightest bit of killing intent, they would immediately sense it.
Since that's the case, let's try a new trick!
Blood Demon Art, Thousand Blood Needles!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Countless blood needles shot towards Haruno Minato at the very center of the territory from all directions.
"Is this the only trick you can pull, you devil?"
Haruno Minato seemed completely oblivious to the blood needles shooting from all around him. He calmly looked ahead and said, "I can already sense your presence."
The next moment, his body suddenly began to move at high speed, water waves swirled around his Nichirin Blade, and a roaring water dragon gradually took shape!
"The breath of water, the form of gathering, the ever-flowing cycle!"
Long Li's pupils suddenly contracted. How could this be!
How could he sense my presence when I wasn't even close?
Looking at the Nichirin Blade in front of him, he appeared extremely flustered at this moment.
what to do!
Blood Domain is useless; even Thousand Blood Needles can't stop this level of attack!
Damn it, is there really no other way?!
Ryuri looked up and met Haruno Minato's cold eyes: "Demon, die."
Whoosh!
A flash of cold light appeared, and Long Li's neck had just been raised, his face still showing a look of astonishment, as if he hadn't yet reacted.
"Lord Longli!"
Mei looked over from a distance.
Instead of worrying about others, you should worry about yourself.
Just as Mizukawa's attack was about to land on Mei, Gyutaro appeared in time to block it.
"Hey Mei, don't get distracted!"
"But brother, Lord Ryuri, he..."
"Lord Ryuri will be alright!"
Gyutaro gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a matter of having my neck cut off..."
Hearing her brother's words, Mei realized that, right now, instead of worrying about Lord Longli, the enemy she and her brother were dealing with was also extremely troublesome!
Their first battle as demons was against Mizukawa, the adopted son of the Water Pillar!
...
"Damn it, we were a bit too careless."
Longli's head landed on the ground, and his expression immediately turned ferocious.
His headless body slowly walked over, and the next moment, a perfectly intact head grew out of his neck.
"It's really frustrating to have to face such a powerful enemy every time."
*Pfft! Pfft!*
Haruno Minato watched as the demon he had supposedly slain was split apart right before his eyes.
"You won't die if your neck is cut off? If we follow that logic, next time we'll just cut off both necks at the same time and that will kill you completely."
