Chapter 22: Their Respective Paths

The vine attack mountain under the silver moonlight looks beautiful and peaceful.

Charming floral scent, gorgeous sea of purple flowers.

But who knows the deadly danger hidden in this?

"Ahh

The terrible wail made my wife Shanyi, who was hiding in the hollow of the tree, tremble: "I will die, I will die, I will die......"

Fear ate away at his heart, and the smell of blood in the air made his hands and feet weak.

"I shouldn't have come, I shouldn't have come......"

"As long as I hide, yes, as long as I hide, no ghost will find me......"

Thinking of this, his body curled up in the hollow of the tree became more and more rickety.

……

On the other side, the chestnut blossom fell Chanel's toes lightly on the branches, and the whole person was like flying petals, beautiful, dreamy, but full of murder.

Behind her, a gnome-sized demon had its hands hanging limply, and the top of its neck was empty.

She looked up at the misty purple woods in the moonlight, and there was not a trace of emotion in her pink-purple pupils.

"Left...... Right ......"

She hesitated for a moment, then took a copper coin from her bosom and threw it upward.

"Dingβ€”"

The copper coin spun and landed in mid-air, and fell to the ground with a "thud".

Facing upwards is the front.

Nodding his head with impeccable amplitude, Pear Blossom Falling Chanel bent down to pick up the copper coin, and then walked to the right without hesitation.

……

"Water Breath, One Shape, Water Slash!"

"Click......"

As the voice fell, a hideous-looking demon stopped moving.

A shallow line of blood appeared from its neck, and then its skull slipped off.

"Huhu...... Whew......"

The fox masked boy, that is, Tanjiro Kamado, gasped tiredly, and looked at the fallen demon behind him, and his thoughts couldn't help but be a little confused.

This was the first time he had slain a demon since he had learned the breathing method, and unlike the previous ones who had used sunlight to kill, he was impressed by the ghost's hard neck.

Before he used the breathing method, even if the blade in his hand was sharp enough, it was still difficult to cut off the steel-like body.

"You Douzi, wait for me, my brother will definitely find a way to save you......"

Looking at the evil spirits that gradually dissipated into black ashes, Tanjiro Kamado muttered to himself.

……

Tonight's vine attack mountain is destined to be unpeaceful.

All of them are on their way to being hunted by ghosts or hunted by ghosts.

But there is always something out of the list.

At the top of Mt. Fuji, on an open flat land.

Senjurou built a small grill out of stones with a few freshly caught birds on it.

Under the flame, the cleaned bird meat gradually turns golden, and the "zizi" is bubbling with hot oil, and the enticing aroma wafts with the breeze, making people feel appetizing.

"Alas......"

Sighing, Senjuro boredomically flipped the bird meat skewers in his hand.

It's been a few hours since he walked into the vine attack mountain, and along the way, not to mention ghosts, he hasn't even touched a ghost hair.

It's like it's just a normal wood.

However, the wails that come from afar from time to time prove that this place is not peaceful.

This strange phenomenon made Senjuro a little puzzled.

Is there something on your body that can dispel the smell of demons?

Shaking his head, he simply stopped dwelling on it because he couldn't figure it out.

For the evil spirits who were imprisoned in the vine attack mountain and weakened to an extremely weak state by the wisteria flower, to be honest, he was not very interested.

A ghost of this level was of little use to him two years ago, let alone now.

If you touch it, you can casually kill the progress of accumulating the [Ghost-loving] trait of the Sun Wheel Knife, and it won't hurt if you can't touch it.

Speaking of the Nichiren knife, Chijurou clicked on the introduction of the weapon in the hand of the system.

【Hinawa Sword (Confessed: Purgatory Chijuro)】

[Quality: Magic]

[Sharpness: 10]

Tenacity: 8

[Durability: 19/20]

[Attributes: Armor Piercing Lv.1, Yang Slashing Lv.1, Ghost Lovers Lv.1]

[Armor Piercing Lv.1: The special secret technique of the Iron Clan makes this knife extremely sharp and can break through the demon's body surface defenses. 】

[Sun Slash Lv.1: A weapon forged from orangutan crimson iron, a raw material known as the "Sun Stone", which contains yang attributes and can suppress the regeneration ability of demons. 】

[Ghost Lovers Lv.1: A blade specially created for slaying demons, which can improve its own quality by slaying demons.] Current progress (61/100). 】

[Notes: Awakened from slumber, a crimson flame ignites.] 】

……

Looking at the red blade in his hand, Senjuro thought thoughtfully.

Most of the progress of the [Ghost Lovers] trait accumulation comes from the "Wolf War" two years ago.

As the "second of the second string", even in a weak state, Pewolf contributed a full 50 points of progress.

Coupled with some evil ghosts slashed in bits and pieces, now, there are only 39 points of progress left, and the [Ghost Lover] trait can be advanced.

The [magic] quality Hinawa Knife has made great contributions in the battle with the second string, and even in the face of its steel-solid body, it can easily and neatly cut off its head.

I'm really looking forward to its advanced style!

"Rustle...... Rustle......"

This is the sound of the leaves shaking.

Glancing at a wisteria tree not far away, a subtle smile appeared on Senjuro's face.

"This golden roasted bird meat is really delicious in the world~"

With an exaggerated expression of admiration, he immediately tore off a piece vigorously and chewed it loudly.

"Delicious!"

Now, the sound of the leaves shaking became even more cramped.

It didn't take long for the figure hiding inside to hold back any longer and jumped out of the tree.

"Wild boar?!"

Looking at the figure that appeared, Senjuro was a little surprised.

It was a figure wearing a boar's head hood and shirtless, revealing his muscles.

"Hurry up and give the meat in your hands to Uncle Ben!"

As soon as the wild boar man appeared, he pointed to the bird meat skewer in Chijuro's hand and said loudly.

"Oh......" Chijurou smiled, "If you want to eat, then you can come and get it yourself." ”

Hearing this, the wild boar man was unceremonious, strode forward, and instead of taking the bird meat that was being grilled on the grill, he stretched out his hand to grab the skewer in Senjuro's hand.

"Huh." Seeing this, Chijuro chuckled twice: "What a guy who doesn't know how to be polite." ”

When the words fell, the wild boar man only felt a flower in front of him, and the figure in front of him had disappeared, and at the same time, a hand had already grabbed his wild boar hood.

β€œοΌŸοΌβ€

He was shocked in his heart, and his hands were about to grasp the hilts of the double knives at his waist.

But in the next moment, an irresistible force came from his head.

He was grabbed by Senjurou and turned out directly.

"Peng!"

His head slammed against the ground, and the heavy force made his eyes black.

"Bastard!"

Before he could say the words in his heart, he passed out directly.

Chijuro lifted the wild boar hood in his hand, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he looked at the delicate young man's appearance under the hood, which was completely different from his imagination.

"It's really, really, interesting."
