Chapter 109 Demon Slayer Squad
Ji Xing obtained a sun disk.
Hongyue people are not very good, but their swords are good.
This Nichirin Sword has a dark gold body with a lightning blade pattern on it. The handle is also dark gold and the scabbard is black. Overall it looks handsome.
But Ji Xing did not give up the kitchen knife and axe.
Sometimes, killing ghosts more slowly can help Ji Xing better understand the characteristics of ghosts.
The noodle shop owner's previous act of committing suicide reminded Ji Xing of something - willpower seems to be very important in the world of demon slayers.
In the next period of time, Ji Xing picked up the knife skills that he had not practiced seriously in the world of Naruto while exercising and improving. At the same time, he ran into the wild at night and actively fished for ghosts, using kitchen knives and axes to test their willpower. Quickly determine that willpower and the desire to live are two different things.
Even if the ghosts are tortured by him to the point of collapse and want to be freed, the body's self-healing will not stop. Only when they "awake up" and remember the situation when they were human can they take the initiative to embark on the path of self-termination and "succeed immediately." Buddha'.
“There are spirits in this world, there are heaven and hell, and even...there are gods!”
Gradually, Ji Xing remembered more things that he had not paid much attention to while watching anime.
As for the Demon Slayers and the Demon Slayers, he didn't care much. The Demon Slayers of the Demon Slayers should be able to pass all the information back, and the Demon Slayers could find out the situation in Uesugi Castle with a little investigation. The Demon Slayers in this world are very Reasonable organization.
Another half month has passed in a flash.
Ji Xing’s strength has steadily improved, but something unexpected happened.
"You are a born thunder pillar and can become the strongest ghost hunter. If there is a gap between you and the Demon Slayer Corps because of Yue Yue, I will be the sinner of the Demon Slayer Team! Yue Yue is my disciple. If I don't teach him well, I will My fault, I apologize to you!"
Ji Xing’s brows furrowed into a tic-tac-toe pattern as he grabbed the knife that the little old man was preparing to commit seppuku.
“Blackmail me?”
It doesn't matter if he kills Gou Yue, but if Kuwashima Jigoro commits seppuku in front of his eyes and apologizes, Ji Xing will still feel bad.
Moreover, this little old man didn’t know anyone well, and he raised Zhuo Yue as his biological son. The pain on his face was clearly visible, but he could still apologize in front of Ji Xing, his ‘enemy’, which was amazing.
“If you commit seppuku in front of me, I will be completely separated from the Demon Slayer Corps.”
"this…"
“Where is the Demon Slayer Squad? Take me there.”
…
The headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps is hidden among the mountains near Kyoto. The original pillars scattered in the nearby mountains, that is, the retired pillars, will serve as trainers, selecting potential swordsmen and sending them to the Demon Slayer Corps. Headquarters.
Swordsmen of this kind who want to join the team must undergo a rigorous assessment and live for seven days and seven nights in Mount Fuji, where many ghosts captured by members of the Demon Slayer Corps are imprisoned. The mortality rate is extremely high.
But for special cases like Ji Xing, you can skip the test and join the team directly. You can even directly meet the leader of the Demon Slayer Team, who is also the lord.
The current lord is named Ubuya Shiki Yaoya. Not only is he not a strong man, he is even so weak that he is not as good as an ordinary person due to illness.
Because Oni King Muzan was born in their Ubuyashiki clan, their clan's bloodline has been cursed, and the children born under normal circumstances will die early. Only by marrying a woman from the Priest clan, the children born will still be weak and sick, but It is possible to live to be 30 years old.
It is such a family that has been cursed by the Demon King, but it has been passed down continuously for thousands of years. Every generation can marry women from the priest family, and can always lead the Demon Slayer Squad. Today, Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya is the 97th member of the Demon Slayer Squad. Now that Ren is in charge, I have to say it's quite amazing. Due to illness, the upper half of Ubuya Shiki Yoya's face has been completely disfigured. He is even uglier than an evil spirit, but his body exudes an aura of incomparable peace. Even Ji Xing felt relaxed when he first met him. Emotions.
This man has long yellow and red hair, sword-shaped eyebrows, piercing eyes, and a very loud voice: "Is it empty to go to Xishi? I heard about you and Daoyu Gangyue, and I don't agree!
Swordsmen like us who are naturally strong, it is our bounden duty to protect the weak. If it were me, I would take Daoyu Gongyue back when he loses the ability to resist and persuade him to repent!
But I have no right to ask you to make the same choice as me, so although I don’t agree with it, I won’t hate you because of it. You are welcome to join the Demon Slayer Squad, and please give me your advice in the future! "
Ji Xing smiled: "Although I don't agree with you, I don't hate your disagreement either. Please give me your advice in the future."
Purgatory Xingjuro was stunned for two seconds: "What you said is a bit convoluted, but I understand!"
“Just understand.”
Uyashiki Yōya pursed his lips with a slight smile. Ji Xing was different from what he imagined.
He originally thought that Ji Xing, whose brothers were killed and embarked on the road of hunting ghosts alone, would be like many children with similar problems in the Demon Slayer Squad, but Ji Xing's performance was unexpectedly mature.
He said in a gentle voice: "Xing Jurou has just become the Flame Pillar and is the sixth pillar of the Demon Slayer Squad. Because he was injured in the previous ghost hunting, he has been recuperating in the headquarters during this time. After hearing about you, he went to I said I wanted to see you once."
Does the current Demon Slayer Corps only have six pillars? Which three nine-pins are missing?
"With six pillars at the same time, the Demon Slayer Corps has tied the record for thousands of years. Teacher Jigoro Kuwashima said that you already have the power close to the pillars. You are worthy of understanding the breathing method on your own like the first generation breathing method swordsmen." genius.
If you become a pillar, we will have power beyond all eras. Maybe in our generation, we can really defeat Wuhan...ahem..."
“My lord, please take care of yourself!” Xingjulang reminded from the side.
The sound was so loud that it made Uyashiki Yōya cough a few more times before he recovered and nodded apologetically to Ji Xing: "I'm sorry, I can't help but get a little excited when I think that we might be able to end the millennium stain of our clan. Up. Xishi Yekong, you still don’t know the identity of our enemy.”
Ji Xing should not know, so next, he listened to Uyashiki Yōya's detailed explanation of the birth of Ichiban Mukai and the composition of the Demon Slayer Squad.
Thousands of years ago, Wuhan was just an ordinary person suffering from diseases. In order to extend his life, a pharmacist prepared a special medicine for him. As a result, his body was still deteriorating. Feeling that the pharmacist was useless, he killed him out of despair. He became a medicine man, but after that, he found that he had recovered his health, had unparalleled strength, and eternal life!
The only weakness is fear of sunlight.
He gives his blood to others, and the others turn into ghosts.
This is the source of ghosts, and the Demon Slayer Team is naturally assembled to kill ghosts.
"Ahem... In the Demon Slayer Corps, the swordsmen are divided into ten levels, A, B, C, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Rengui. When a level A swordsman kills the last demon in the twelve ghost months, he can become a demon slayer. The pillar-level swordsman in the team.”
Seeing that his lord was talking too much and was a little short of breath, Purgatory Anjuro took the initiative to take over the words: "The Twelve Ghosts are the 12 strongest ghosts created by Onibatsuji Muzan! The six ghosts on the upper string and the six ghosts on the lower string were killed by me just now. The second one is Pei Lang, Shadow Ghost, a very strong guy!
Compared to Xiaxian, Shangxian ghosts are more powerful. It is said that the staff of Shangxian ghosts have not been replaced in the past hundred years, but many ancestors have died in their hands. I don’t know how powerful those guys are! "
The piercing eyes are full of fighting spirit.
"Ahem...Yes, many, many children died in their hands." Ubuyashiki Yoya coughed twice, with a sad expression: "But...protecting ordinary people at all costs is our mission as ghost hunters. Shangxi Shiyekong, depending on your strength and record, you can directly become a Grade A swordsman. When you can kill a demon of the lower string, you can become the Thunder Pillar of the Demon Slayer Team.
But before that..."
"But before that." Ji Xing interrupted him: "The Demon Slayer chooses me, and I am also choosing the Demon Slayer. Whether I want to join or not, I have to ask a few questions before I decide."
Ubuyashiki Yaoya was startled.
“It should be so!” Purgatory Xingjulang said loudly.
