Chapter 45: Metamorphosis

The flames bloomed, then retracted and collapsed, forming a translucent pale red armor.

At the same time, Senjuro's figure disappeared from the sight of the four lower string ghosts.

"Hoo ......"

The wind was whimpering, and in the dark night, Tanaka Zhenwei and the soldiers who were looking at the top of the building from afar, a brilliant red light flashed in their eyes.

Then.

"Boom!"

In the midst of a loud bang, the six-storey building gradually collapsed, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Before he had time to be stunned, Tanaka Zhenwei shouted hoarsely: "Retreat!" Back off! ”

……

"Boom!"

In the center of the ruined wall, the crimson blade in Chijuro's hand slowly returned to its sheath, the dark red lines on his body disappeared, and the illusory armor also turned into fine sparks and dispersed.

In the four directions of him, left and right, the figures of the four lower string ghosts stood in a daze, and the heads above their necks were quietly gone.

"Three seconds!"

Chijuro secretly calculated in his heart.

Cutting off the heads of 4 ghosts, "Blazing Shura" took 3 seconds, which was basically the same time as his own estimate.

Killing 4 lower string ghosts in 3 seconds, including the top lower string 2 and lower string 3, sounds a little incredible.

You know, even if it's a lower string ghost, it's also the twelfth ghost month.

Ordinary "pillar" level swordsmen, if they want to crusade, they also need to spend a lot of effort.

Therefore, knowing that he could not cope with the siege of the 4 lower string ghosts in the regular Enneagram state of the Flame Breath, Senjuro unveiled his hole cards at the beginning of the battle.

In the face of the extreme speed and strength of the "Blazing Shura", there is no way to react, and there is only one way to die.

The simpler it is, the more unsolvable it is.

Abandoning all external bells and whistles, the pursuit of pure strength and speed, such sword skills, although not gorgeous enough, but far more powerful than imagined.

"Step on ...... Step ......"

There was a sound of footsteps in his ears, and Chijuro turned his head to see that it was Butterfly Shinobi who had come to the ruins of the building.

As soon as the fire broke out, knowing that something had changed, she hurried over after alerting the daimyo and the soldiers.

Who would have thought that the building suddenly collapsed halfway through.

The rubble and broken walls fell in the air, and she had no choice but to take shelter from the limelight for a while, and when the smoke and dust subsided and she arrived, everything was settled.

"You're so adventurous."

Looking at the four headless ghost corpses, he knew that Senjuro had killed the evil ghosts safely, but Butterfly Shinobu couldn't help but complain.

This was the case with the crusade against the Four Half Tengu of the Upper String, and the same is true this time, always rushing ahead alone, facing danger alone and slaying the demons......

Thinking of this, Butterfly Shinobu suddenly felt a little self-blamed.

has been a "worm pillar" for many years, and his strength has gradually become of little help.

But she was born weak and couldn't even cut off the demon's neck with a Nichicha knife, and even if she was as skilled as a doctor, it would be difficult to make up for it.

When I go back this time, I'm going to develop a more powerful poison.

Butterfly Shinobu thought silently in his heart.

"It's okay, Sister Shinobu." Hearing Butterfly Shinobi's complaining words, Chijuro smiled: "What is it to be able to deal with these evil ghosts earlier and save more innocent residents from being harmed, and to take a little risk?" ”

Looking at Chijuro, who had a sunny smile on his face, the butterfly couldn't help but be in a trance.

With such a gentle smile, it's like an older sister......

Shaking her head, Butterfly Shinobu said no more.

"Tick...... Tick ......"

A light rain fell from the sky, extinguishing the flames burning in the ruins of the buildings.

"Huh...... Hehe......"

Suddenly, a suppressed laugh came from the front.

"Human, you think, you've won?"

Chijurou and Butterfly Shinobu turned their heads to look at each other at the same time.

I saw that on the neck of the white-robed ghost corpse whose head had been cut off, the head of a white-haired boy appeared impressively.

It twisted its neck, its eyes bloodshot.

It's the fifth of the second string, tired!

"Thanks to you, helped me deal with these idiots."

The tired fingers moved slightly, and the spider silk that was difficult to see with the naked eye "snorted", and the bright red beating hearts were pulled out of the chest cavity of the other three ghost corpses.

Holding the three lower string hearts in both hands, its eyes were full of madness, and it swallowed the three hearts without hesitation.

"Gollum ......"

The fist-sized heart propped up the tired throat with 3 bulges and slid into the abdominal cavity with its force.

In an instant, the ghost qi that permeated its body skyrocketed wildly, doubling and tripling...... It doesn't stop until it is ten times over!

The monstrous ghost couldn't help but churn, and actually rolled the falling raindrops upside down.

A sudden change that was done in just 1 second.

Butterfly Shinobu didn't have time to stop it, while Senjuro was in a state of temporary weakness because he had just finished "Blazing Shura", and he needed time to recover and couldn't make a move.

In the billowing ghostly aura, its tired pale hair was dyed black, and demon-like horns grew on its forehead, and its body swelled dramatically, turning from a boy less than one meter five into a terrifying demon with 3 meters tall and knotted muscles all over its body.

Scarlet eyes radiated from its eyes, and the only thought of being tired at the moment was to tear up the Senjuro in front of him.

The surest way for evil spirits to become strong is to eat people.

The more people who eat, the stronger the oni becomes, the harder the body becomes, and the more powerful the blood ghost magic becomes.

But this process of becoming stronger is slow.

Not only is there the influence of the ghost killing team swordsmen, and even the "pillar" chase, but more importantly, the flesh and blood that the ghost can absorb every day is limited.

The time it takes to become stronger is too long.

Relying on this method, it would take decades, if not hundreds of years, for ordinary ghosts to reach the doorrail of the Twelve Ghost Moons.

And as the Twelve Ghost Moons, if you want to become stronger in this way, unless you are devouring a powerful swordsman, it will take hundreds of years to rely on ordinary people alone.

In addition to this method, if the ghost wants to increase his strength, he can only accept the gift of the superior and rely on the stimulation of high-purity bloodline to evolve his own bloodline.

But this method is extremely dangerous, and almost one in ten remains.

Therefore, a forbidden method appeared.

That is, devouring the same kind of people with similar strength.

Compared with the gift of the superior, this method can also transform the strength, but the risk factor is greatly reduced.

Hundreds of years ago, this method led to the ghosts falling into a situation of cannibalism.

It wasn't until the ghost king came forward that this forbidden law was strictly forbidden, and the turmoil gradually subsided.

But there is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

As the fifth of the lower string, I accidentally learned about this method.

Since you can't kill each other, after being killed by the swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Team, I will devour it again, it won't be considered a violation of the ban, right?

So, there is the "Spider House" plan!

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the strength of the human "pillar" level swordsmen who appeared was too strong, and it only took a moment to cut off their heads, and if it hadn't cut off its own neck with spider silk in advance at the last moment, it would have been difficult to escape.

However, the plan was finally completed.

Devoured the hearts of 3 lower string ghosts, and the strength of the tired has changed dramatically.

It has absolute confidence and kills the "pillar" in front of it.

"Human, die!"
