"Ahem, ahem."

After waiting for Hao to leave for a long time, the city guard lying on the ground seemed to finally be able to breathe, and coughed violently.

His eyes were numb, and he didn't stand up immediately.

"In the face of absolute strength, the will is nothing but a joke." The city guard looked at the flowing clouds in the sky and said lightly.

That kind of strength is also a symbol of the will of the hazy.

Because no one is born invincible, Hao has this kind of power, relying on his incomparably strong sense of faith.

Personal will.

Hazy let him see how strong a person's will can be.

Before he came, he thought that he had opened the markings, relying on the new moves of breathing and breathing water, plus the rich experience of killing ghosts over the years... Even if it's not low, he has the power to fight. But he never thought that failure would come so quickly, just a fist, and he did it with one force.

Moreover, the city guard could clearly perceive that the man was still not serious, but just let him see 'what power is'.

The will to inherit the Ghost Slayer Team is collective... Inheritance from generation to generation, unhesitating fulfillment.

Rather than the kind of personal will, which highlights the absolute self.

In other words, if you want to compete with the will of the inheritance, then it is best to call the entire Demon Slayer team.

This is the complete confrontation of two wills.

However, even if the entire ghost killing team is assembled, now the city guards understand... It's useless.

Probably, the whole world is in the eyes of the hazy... It's not worth mentioning.

He saw the contempt in Ha's eyes as he grabbed his neck.

That's not arrogance, it's absolute trust in one's own strength.

"So ignorant... I. ”

After a long silence, the city guard sighed.

Then, with tears in his eyes, he muttered, "I'm sorry, Otomo Issui... Disappointed you. ”

"I'm going to be ... Failed to do so. ”

"But... I believe that one day, someone will surpass me. ”

With that, he turned his head and looked at the ground not far away, the black feather weaving that had been peeled off.

……

It's just an episode that Ichiwei Kawai comes to find himself.

Hazy didn't take it to heart.

After he returned to the city, he continued to live his peaceful life step by step.

This water column still gave him a sense of expectation, because the city guard could already use Tu Na to this level, so presumably, after generations of swordsmen have studied ... The point in time to break through the internal breath to the next level will definitely come earlier.

The chaos among the people continued, but the war that spread because of the attack on the head of the country finally ended a few years later.

The whole country returned to a brief period of calm.

The shogunate still held the rule, but it lost its initial dominance over the feudal domains in the region, including some capitals.

Many local forces have risen up and established themselves as kings.

The Edo period has come to an end.

In the past ten years, because of the promotion of Hao, the world pattern has changed greatly, in addition to the strength of the ghost and the ghost killing team, there is also a point, that is, his inheritors have also stepped into the center of the stage, forming a three-game scene.

The Ghost Slayer Team is responsible for slashing not only Wu Miao and his ghosts, but also those inheritors of the will of the Obscurity.

These inheritors have a common characteristic, that is, the forces they have condensed are mostly rebel armies formed by the people at the bottom who suffered before, under the banner of saving the world.

There was a great threat to the shogunate.

At the same time, the Miserable Ghost is also hunting the inheritor, because the Ghost King needs to study these 'samples'.

On the surface, the situation has eased, but secretly the struggle between the three parties has not stopped.

The inheritors believed that the Demon Slayer was a dog raised by the shogunate, relying on the power of the shogunate to target themselves in the name of ghost hunting, and the two sides were originally enemies. As for the so-called ghost king of Wu Miao, the inheritor has also been looking for him in the past few years... However, there are not many inheritors who are eyeing the Innocent Warrior, and more people are still focusing on overthrowing the shogunate and rebuilding the world.

Those who want to kill Wu Miao almost always feel that Wu Miao and the existence of ghosts have tarnished their beliefs.

And their belief is hazy.

Their strength is given by the hazy, not without misery.

In addition, as a representative of the pillar-level swordsman of the Ghost Slayer Team, Kawai Ichiwei retired early and became a cultivator, committed to training better juniors.

Within the ghost killing team, the topic of this person has also been consciously blocked by Hideo Sanyashiki and others over time, and very few people know about it.

At least for now, they all knew that the Demon Slayer didn't have the capital to stand up to that man.

But Purgatory Tenjuro has always been on the front line.

……

Host: Hazy.

Age: Thirty-one.

Identity: Origin of the will.

Overall attribute evaluation: non-human.

Time passed, and Haku, who was still the leader of the Kita-ku Prefecture, came to Edo Castle again and stayed in the shogunate.

At this time, he sat in the high attic of the shogunate, drinking the warm wine of his subordinates, sitting cross-legged on the couch, looking at the bustling street scene outside the distant wall, and at the same time opened the system panel and glanced at it.

The data on the panel has not changed much, only changes in age, identity, and attributes.

From the higher world to the lower world, there is basically no improvement.

All he can do is collect resources.

It is an external article.

In other words, the only thing that the Demon Slayer World can provide him with is the 'source'.

Want to grow within, the only hope at the moment... It is to rely on the sublimation of the will of inheritance, and use the wisdom of countless people to turn tuna into metaphysical exercises.

It's far away for the time being.

Compared with the ten years when he started full-time, he lived too comfortably in the ten years of ghost slayer.

His appearance has not changed much.

It's spring, and it's the cherry blossom season, and the entire Edo Castle is full of flowers.

He rushed over this time because he received some rumors.

In the past ten years, Edo Castle has barely kept safe, and through his operation, his clan has easily controlled power in the current shogunate. For Hao, this doesn't need to use any brains at all, just a simple mention can be done.

Compared to leading the Fils family to break through the V5 situation and reach out all over the world in a full-time job, a shogunate is more like a game of playing house.

Since Sawakawa killed the previous lord, none of the inheritors have been able to threaten the shogunate, and the reason is that the Demon Slayer has sent many people to protect them secretly.

But today... There's a good show.

It was a day to sit there, and soon at night, the entire Edo Castle was lit up, as if the purgatory on earth for the past ten years had nothing to do with it.

The castle represents the entire Edo era and the strength of the shogunate.

Always standing.

In the middle of the night, suddenly, there was a commotion in one direction under the cover of the night, and a raging fire soon ignited.

There were even more deafening shouts of killing.

The movement of people on the street began to become scattered and rapid.

Someone... A siege was launched.

In the second half of the night, thick fireworks erupted from all sides of Edo Castle.

The entire city was reduced to a battlefield, with numerous casualties.

In the darkness, several powerful auras leaped over the buildings, rushing towards the location of the shogunate.

In less than half a burnt of incense, these black shadows fell into the shogunate's residence.

"Huh?"

One of them looked suspicious, although the shogunate's troops were rampant in the capital, and they were met with stubborn counterattack and resistance, the closer they were to the area where the shogunate was stationed, the weaker the defenses became. The most important thing is that there is no shadow of the Demon Slayer from beginning to end... It's a bit of a stretch.

What's even more bizarre is that in this shogunate, there is not a single shadow of a soldier.

It's like an empty city.

So much so that their plan for a surprise attack was very easy.

Airplanes...

At this moment, suddenly, a sound rhythm sounded in the sky above him.

A few people looked and found a woman playing the shamisen in the corridor high up in the building, staring at them calmly.

When they saw this woman, their faces changed slightly at the same time.

The gaze shifted slightly, catching a man sitting next to a woman, raising a glass and drinking.

Glimpsing this figure, several uninvited guests, their spirits trembled, and they almost fell to their knees in unison.

"This sir... How did it end up here? ”

It's what is in their minds.

The cherry blossoms fall from the night sky with the breeze... Overflowing fragrance.

After a day of drinking, his cheeks were slightly red.

He got up slowly, tightened the feather weave on his body, stepped on the clogs, and then jumped up, obviously his body was falling rapidly, but at the moment when his toes touched the ground, it fell lightly like a feather, without making any sound.

"I'm sorry to meet this way."

Hao seemed to be slightly drunk, looked at a few familiar faces in front of him, and smiled.

There are four people in total.

They are all the inheritors of his personal transformation.

These four people... In order to fulfill the will he transmitted, they joined forces.

One of the great advantages of inheriting the will is that it is teamwork, easy to call friends and companions, and come together because of emotional resonance.

There were dozens of inheritors he transformed back then, but now, there are still alive... Only a third.

The four in front of him are the best among these people.

"Yasuhara, Kiya, Ueno, Teshima Ka."

Hazy called out the names of each and every one of them.

The four of them looked at each other, looked up, and did not say a word.

They all foreshadowed something in their hearts.

"Although the mission you have carried is given by me... But I'm still a member of the shogunate, so we're enemies from a standpoint. ”

"I... There's no way to go back. ”

Haze whispered, reaching out a hand and catching the cherry blossom petals that fell in mid-air.

"You're doing a great job, and I'm glad to see you grow..."

"I hope you can change the world, and I hope you can kill me... Achieve the ultimate goal. ”

Hao observed that the eyes of several people were a little shaken, and his tone sank: "You must kill me too... Only in this way will you live up to the faith I have passed on to you. ”

"I... It is a hurdle that you must overcome. ”

With Hazy's words, upstairs, the tone of the shamisen played by Chiyo changed instantly, and there was an extra sense of slaughter in the melody.

"As long as I am here, you will never be able to overthrow the shogunate."

"Don't let me down."

"Choose... Since it's an enemy, kill me, or... Killed by me. ”

After Hao finished speaking, the black feather weaving on his body shook wildly.

His eyes turned cold.

It seems that in an instant, it subverted the impression that he remained in the hearts of the four people, tall and majestic.

After hearing these words, one of the four people who knelt on the ground was the first to stand up.

Then the other three got up one after the other.

His eyes swept up and he opened his arms to the four of them, "Don't hesitate... Abandon those indifferent feelings and always remember that the will is absolute! ”

It's amazing, it's just amazing!

That's the beauty of the will to pass on!

This will has been sublimated.

Daring to show the sword to him, the origin of his will, is in itself proving that the thoughts conveyed by Hao have penetrated into the hearts of the four people.

Will always go first!

Everything else, stand aside.
