In the snow-covered forest, a red-haired boy is running wildly on the snow with a girl on his back, as if a ghost is chasing them behind him.

Suddenly, he tripped over something under his feet, and the beans on his back flew out with him.

"Your beans, your beans." Tanjiro hurriedly got up and looked around while shouting the name of the bean, and only then did he notice that it was not dead wood or stone that had tripped him, but a human corpse.

But he doesn't care who the deceased is at this time, he cares more about the safety of your beans.

"It's all my fault that I shouldn't have stayed in someone else's house." Tanjiro thinks that it was his own slackness that caused the current tragedy, and he thinks of the despair of his younger siblings before they die, and his heart hurts like a knife.

At this moment, the poison that remained in your bean's body attacked, and I saw her stagger to her feet, and green tendons appeared around her face.

"You're okay, Douzi?"

But You Douko turned a deaf ear to Tanjiro's shouts, and she pounced on Tanjiro like a wild beast, but fortunately, Tanjiro reacted in time and blocked Your Dou's bite with the shovel and wooden handle in his hand.

Looking at the other party's sharp teeth like a vampire, Tanjiro remembered the words of Saburo's grandfather, ghost! Don't......

At the thought that his sister might become a so-called ghost, tears poured out of Tanjiro's eyes.

Looking at Youdouko, who has grown in size and strength together, Tanjiro's heart is full of self-blame.

This is...... Suddenly, Tanjiro felt a wet liquid dripping down his face, and when he looked up, it turned out to be the tears of Youdouko.

"It's really rude, and I don't know how to say sorry when I bump into someone."

An unfamiliar voice sounded faintly, Tanjiro looked behind him suspiciously, and saw a corpse, slowly getting up from the snow, the corpse's chest was pierced by something, and he could even see the big tree behind him.

"Are you...... Tanjiro? Xia Shang moved his limbs, and in this cold environment, his limbs were frozen and stiffened.

"You! Thou! You're a ghost too! ”

Tanjiro was horrified to see that the wound on Xia Shang's chest was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was impossible for humans to do.

"Don't compare that low-level creature to me." I saw Xia Shang's figure disappear from the spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he had already grabbed You Douzi's neck and lifted her feet off the ground, and Xia Shang's gaze was like looking at a novel toy.

"Is this ghosting?"

Xia Shang let the sharp claws of Your Beans tear his right arm, but unfortunately, with the strength of Your Beans and the sharpness of his nails, he couldn't scratch Xia Shang's skin at all.

"Let her go."

On the other side, Yoshiyoshi Tomioka, who rushed to hear the movement, witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

Wearing the uniform of the Ghost Slayer Team, he wore a feather weave with different patterns on the left and right sides of the uniform jacket, one side was dark red, and the other was yellow and green, and the Japanese wheel knife in his hand glowed with blue light, which seemed to give people a chill in the heart among the falling snowflakes.

"Please save my sister." Tanjiro hurriedly asked the man dressed as a samurai for help.

Tomioka said indifferently: "My duty is to kill evil spirits, and naturally my sister is also included. ”

Then he looked at Xia Shang and reminded, "Only by cutting off the head of the evil ghost with the Richakra knife can you kill the evil ghost." ”

"No, my sister isn't a ghost, that man is."

Tanjiro's expression was excited, because he had seen with his own eyes the self-healing speed that ordinary people could not have.

"He's not, he doesn't have the breath of a demon in him." Tomioka's expression was cold, and his gaze remained indifferent.

"Impossible! I've seen with my own eyes that the wound on his chest heals faster than anyone else, and although he doesn't have the same aura as the one in my house, I can guarantee that he's also a demon. Tanjiro shouted loudly.

"Is it a special demon?" Seeing that what Tanjiro said was true, Tomioka Yoshiyoshi hesitated about his previous judgment.

I saw that his legs suddenly exerted force, and his body bowed slightly towards Xia Shang.

"Not fast enough, but the outburst is good."

Xia Shang's figure kept switching positions in the eyes of the two, and even when he squatted down to observe the Japanese wheel knife, Tomioka Yoshiyong barely reacted, but when he was about to swing the knife, Xia Shang disappeared again, and at the same time, Tomioka Yoshiyong's right hand holding the knife felt a huge pulling force.

"How is that possible? There is no word in the other party's eyes, is it that the other party is not miserable? "Tomioka Yoshiyong, who was almost taken away from the Japanese wheel sword, although he was calm on the surface, he actually set off a turbulent wave in his heart.

If there is no tragedy, then today is the date of his death.

Finally...... Have you finally waited for this day? It may be a good fate to die at the hands of Wu Wu.

He held his breath as two white mist seeped out from the corners of his mouth, "Don't underestimate me, bastard. ”

"The breath of water, the shape of picking, the flow of life!"

I saw that Tomioka's figure rushed out like a cannonball, and the Nichiren knife in his hand was surging waves, and the speed was so fast that Tanjiro was stunned on the side.

Looking at a dragon head condensed by water waves, biting towards him, Xia Shang let go of the bean that had turned back to its original form, and avoided the attack with a smile on his face, but Tomioka Yoshiyoshi obviously couldn't end there, and the characteristic of life and vitality was that it would continue to grow stronger with the increase in the number of spins.

I watched as the water dragon grew in size, occupying almost all the gaps in the clearings in the forest.

"Interesting."

Xia Shang's figure kept retreating.

The big trees that stood in front of Tomioka were all cut down.

"I'm going to put an end to it!" Tomioka jumped into the air with a flip, and the long knife in his hand with a huge dragon head was cut down in the air! His eyes were resolute, and it was almost his strongest blow!

Rumble! The faucet slammed into Xia Shang's chest, and the huge force ploughed the ground up, and Xia Shang knocked down several trees in a row before stopping.

"Even steel will be cut in half under this blow."

However, to his despair, a man slowly rose from the snow-heaped grave bag in front of him, with only a faint scar on his chest, except for some tattered clothes.

"Let's go! Take your sister out of here! Seeing this, Tomioka turned his head and roared at Tanjiro.

At this time, there was no fear in his heart, only the determination to die.

"Death is my destination, the breath of water, the type of pick-up, Nagi!" Around Tomioka Yoshitoshi's body, a vast sea of sword qi condensed emerged, and when the Nagiku fell, the originally turbulent ocean was as still as water in an instant, as if any attack entering the realm would cause ripples.
