Chapter 7: Slaying Demons

The sparks dissipated in mid-air, and the sharp crimson blade slashed through the air in an arc-shaped trajectory, slashing at the hand ghost's neck, which was protected by layers of arms.

At the moment when Senjuro unleashed his sword skills, the enraged hand ghost also attacked.

I saw that most of the arms on its upper body squirmed with flesh and blood, and then, these arms stretched and lengthened rapidly, like a flesh-loving whip, attacking in all directions.

"Whoa—whoa—whoa—"

"Bang-bang-bang-"

The dense sound of breaking the air, as well as the holes formed by these arms smashing into the ground, made Tetsuji Toyama and Seiichisuke Yamada, who had taken Kumada Taro to the side, feel numb in their scalps, as if they were falling into hell.

With such terrifying coverage and the destructive power they caused, I am afraid that if they were replaced, they would not be able to support it for even three seconds before they would be smashed into minced meat.

The hand ghost in front of him is by no means as simple as an ordinary big ghost. After decades of captivity, it was only a few days after escaping that he had regained such strength.

I'm afraid that now, even a first-class swordsman can't easily defeat it.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but worry about the young man in the field.

Definitely, it's going to be fine!

In the face of the overwhelming attack, Senjuro's complexion changed slightly, and he forcibly changed direction as he moved forward, stopping ten meters away from the hand ghost.

With such a dense attack, even "Shiranui" could not force a breakthrough.

The sword shape must be changed!

Chijuro took a deep breath, and the strong cardiopulmonary function and the powerful power brought by it filled the whole body in an instant.

"Breath of Flame, Type Four, Vortex of Flame!"

He stood in place and waved the red red blade in his hand, forming a vortex flame sword qi that swept forward.

Under the flame sword qi, countless deformed and elongated arms were split in two, however, the recovery ability of these arms was too strong, even if there was the effect of the Nichicha Knife to inhibit regeneration, but these severed arms would recover in just a dozen seconds.

But this little time is enough.

Surrounded by flames, Chijuro's face was calm, but his breathing became longer and longer.

On the crimson Nichiren knife, the flames burned more and more fiercely.

"Breath of Fire, One Form, Shiranui!"

This style of flame breath sword technique, which is known for its speed, endowed Senjuro with a thunderous body, and took advantage of the brief gap between the ghost hand being cut off and recovering, and he stepped on it, and in less than a second, he rushed to the hand ghost.

The rapid attack of the red figure made the tyrannical color in the eyes of the hand ghost thicker and thicker.

"Red-haired imp, you've me off!"

It roared, and several cyan giant hands that had not participated in the attack from the beginning of the battle fused in an instant, forming a huge palm with a diameter of more than one meter, and slapped it towards Senjuro's head.

At the same time, the many ghost hands that were attacking also attacked from behind Senjuro.

There was a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, and in an instant, Senjuro fell into an extremely unfavorable situation, and Tetsuji Toyama and Kiyoisuke Yamada, who were in the rear, were so nervous that they held their breath.

The huge palm formed suddenly was indeed beyond Senjuro's expectations, but he didn't panic much!

Unlike the demons' unreasonable physical strength and recovery ability, as a human being, even if he mastered the extraordinary breathing method, his physical strength was extremely limited.

The three-style flame breath sword technique consumed a full 30 points of his physical strength.

[HP: 50/105]

Now, more than half of his physical strength has been consumed.

So, this battle must be resolved quickly!

Closing the position and bringing the demon into his effective attack range is the strategy that Senjurou made when he saw the hand demon launch a wide area covering attack.

With the attack density of the hand ghost, under a long-term stalemate, he will definitely be defeated.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to expend a lot of physical strength to use his sword skills, in order to break into the two-meter range of the hand ghost.

Now, the plan has been achieved.

Even if there was a little accident in the process.

The violent wind pressure blew Chijuro's long hair flying backwards, and he took a deep breath as he looked at the giant cyan hand pressed down on his head.

Suddenly, the surrounding air flow seemed to be sucked dry by an invisible beast.

Unprecedented flames erupted from Chijuro's side and turned into a sky-high flame.

"Breath of Fire, Type II, Rising Sky!"

The crimson sun wheel knife lifted from the bottom to the top, like a rising red sun, and collided with the cyan giant hand head-on.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion occurred when the two collided.

Large sparks spread wildly in all directions, and the sand and dust raised by the explosion completely covered the center of the battlefield.

It also made the two of them unable to see the results of the battle clearly.

In the smoke and dust, the powerful power of the "Nino-type sword technique" blew the huge cyan giant hand in half, and Senjuro also took this opportunity to exhaust the last trace of physical strength and use the last sword skill.

"Breath of Fire, One Form, Shiranui!"

A flash of red light lit up from the smoke and dust, turning into a straight line mark, silently slashing at the neck of the hand ghost.

"It's useless, my neck, it's the hardest!"

Even though the power of the explosion shook it into a momentary state of stiffness, unable to make any defenses against the oncoming attack, the hand ghost still did not have a trace of worry, its bloodshot eyes were full of mockery, and it shouted frantically in its heart.

These foolish ghost slayers, one by one, are all so stupid......

Wouldn't I know that my neck is my greatest weakness?

Hehe, hehe......

You know, the hand around my neck is the hardest part of my body...... Bit...... Yes......

The red light swept across the neck of the hand ghost like a meteor without pause.

At this moment, the many ghost hands that were about to touch Senjuro's back seemed to have been pressed the pause button and froze in place.

How...... Possible......

The hand ghost lowered his head with difficulty and looked at the red red blade in the young man's hand.

This knife......

A gentle breeze blew, taking away the last glimmer of sunset.

Many ghost hands turned into fine black smoke and passed slowly.

After a while, the smoke and dust gradually cleared, and the results of the battle were clearly displayed in front of the eyes of Yamada Kiyoichisuke and the others.

In the dense forest, the red-haired young man in white was half-kneeling on the ground with a Nichiren knife in one hand, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he was panting violently.

And behind him, there is a tall hand ghost standing still.

"It seems that my head ...... Still is...... It's not hard enough......"

As the words fell, a line of blood appeared on its neck.

"Bump!"

The deformed body, which had lost the support of its vitality, turned into black smoke and completely dissipated under the witness of the setting sun.
