There is a demon whose blood demon art is similar to this demon.

It was the first demon that Tanjiro faced after joining the Demon Slayer Corps. It was called the Swamp Demon.

The Swamp Demon can sink into the ground and turn the ground into a space similar to water. Through this blood demon art, it drags the girl into the ground and eats her.

However, the blood demon art of this demon is not the same as that of the Swamp Demon.

Hori Gaku estimated that the blood demon art of this demon is complete. It can move freely underground and make the land soft, forming a swamp-like situation.

This kind of blood demon art is obviously more powerful than the blood demon art of the Swamp Demon.

If this is the case, it will be troublesome.

Tanjiro can sink into the underground space of the Swamp Demon and kill the Swamp Demon there.

But Hori Gaku, there is no way to get into the soil alive to kill this demon!

Just think about it, this demon can travel underground at will, sneak attack you from time to time, and you can't hit him at all with such thick soil between you. How bad is that?

The strength of this demon may not be very strong, but the blood demon art is really difficult!

Hori Gaku judged the above information almost instantly and thought about how to deal with it.

At this time, Mitsuri's waist was about to sink!

She was panicked and helpless.

Obviously, her muscle density was eight times that of ordinary people and she was very strong, but this kind of blood demon technique was naturally weak against her strength, and she couldn't use any strength in the swamp.

Mitsuri didn't dare to struggle anymore, even if the ghost hand on her ankle was still pulling her down, she didn't dare to struggle anymore.

Now she could only hope that Hori Gaku, the person opposite, could find a way to save her.

Hori Gaku was quick-witted and really made him think of a way that was not a way.

Since there were no ropes or anything like that around, he could only force it!

As long as the speed was fast enough, people could run on the water, not to mention the soft swamp?

So, what Hori Gaku needed was speed!

Fortunately, Thunder Breathing was best at this!

Hori Gaku drew out the Sun Wheel Sword and used Thunder Breathing. Arcs flashed on his body, and his body was like a taut bow. In an instant, he ran towards Mitsuri at a high speed!

That speed was like the Flash!

Mitsuri could only see a figure with lightning flashing in front of her in an instant!

Running in front of Mitsuri at a very fast speed, Horitake confirmed by the feeling of stepping that the ground under his feet was no longer solid land, but something like a soft swamp.

Holding the knife, he thrust it downward!

The electric arc followed the Sun Blade, went straight into the ground, and electrocuted the ghost below!

This ghost, we call it the underground ghost for short.

The underground ghost was in the dark underground. He was grabbing Mitsuri's two ankles and dragging her down. He was caught off guard and was electrocuted by the electricity from above!

Since he had this blood ghost technique, the underground ghost has been invincible. He can even do things secretly during the day, but he never thought that there would be electricity that could be introduced into the ground to electrocute him!

He was trembling all over from the electric shock, and he couldn't help but let go of his hands.

This was exactly what Horitake had calculated!

Hori Gaku was still running at top speed. He drew out his knife with his right hand, bent over, and put his left arm around Mitsuri's upper body. He sank his qi into his dantian, united his waist and horse, and exerted force with his legs...

With extremely fast speed and strong strength, Hori Gaku pulled Mitsuri out of the swamp while rushing over! After pulling her out, Hori Gaku held Mitsuri in his arms and continued to rush forward.

If the speed was slower, the two would fall into the swamp again together!

The moment he picked up Mitsuri, Hori Gaku felt soft and big.

Of course, he was not in the mood to feel these things now, because he had already run past the range of the swamp, and now there was solid land under his feet!

Right now!

Hori Gaku kicked his feet hard, hugged Mitsuri and jumped onto the tree, and the two stood side by side on the hard branches.

Where is Kanroji Mitsuri?

She felt like she was on a roller coaster. First she was overweight, then she was weightless. When she came to her senses, she had already come out of the swamp of panic. When she reacted again, she was hugged by a strange broad chest, with her feet standing on branches.

Saved... saved by a stranger... what kind of feeling is this?

In broad daylight, encountering a ghost is scary enough, and it is a ghost that can create a swamp. She was dragged into the swamp by the ghost, and the ghost's hands below kept pulling her. The power she was proud of was completely useless.

This is simply the worst experience, the most desperate moment, horror movies are just like this!! ?

At the critical moment, the hero fell from the sky and saved herself in an instant, saving herself from the abyss!

The most important thing is...

Mitsuri looked at Horitake's profile.

The most important thing is that the hero who saved her is the person before! So handsome!

Kanroji Mitsuri felt that she was in love! This is definitely the feeling of being in love!

Hori Gaku didn't notice Mitsuri's current state. He stood on the branch, looking at the land below. He opened his spiritual vision and saw the underground ghost through the ground. The underground ghost recovered from the paralysis of the electric shock and found that the prey had escaped. He was very upset underground.

He didn't dare to get out of the ground to enjoy the sunshine, and finally left helplessly.

Looking at the underground ghost sneaking away from here, Hori Gaku confirmed that the blood ghost art of this ghost was just as he thought, a very evil and troublesome underground art!

""Okay, it's okay, the ghost is gone."

Turning off his spiritual vision, Horitake let go of Mitsuri and looked at her.

Unexpectedly, Mitsuri didn't look scared at all, but her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked at Horitake infatuatedly, with a face full of emotion and shyness, and pink hearts appeared around her.

Horitake was helpless, sister, you have a big heart.

Mitsuri also realized that her behavior was inappropriate, and hurriedly said shyly:

"Thank you for saving my life. I am so grateful for your help. I have no way to repay you.……"

Hori���I was stunned.

I have nothing to repay you? The next sentence is that I can only repay you in the next life? Or can I only repay you with my body?

Who knew that Mitsuri's words would end here, and then she would introduce herself:

"Um, my name is Kanroji Mitsuri, and I’m the stepson of the current Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. May I ask what your name is, benefactor?" (shy, expectant)

"Oh, my name is Horitake, and I am the disciple of Jigoro Kuwashima, the former head of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Also, don't call me benefactor, just call me by my name."

"Yes, Lord Horitake!"

What the hell is Lord Horitake?

Forget it, Horitake was too lazy to correct him, and sat side by side with Mitsuri on the branch, looking down at the tree and talking to each other.

Mitsuri's personality is very lively, and she is a little shy when facing someone she likes, but she still chirps and expresses her feelings to Horitake implicitly:

"Lord Horitake, I just thought I was doomed, I was going to die! I didn't expect you to come down from the sky and save me in an instant. I feel like you are a messenger sent by God to save me!"

Horitake felt a slight chill on his back. Girl, you guessed it right! The system is God, and I am his messenger. The system predicted that you would be in trouble, so I was secretly following you to protect you. When you were in trouble, I was the first to appear.

But even so, I was careless and almost let the underground ghost succeed!

Of course, Horitake could not tell the existence of the system, so he could only divert Mitsuri's attention:

"I just happened to be resting nearby, and when I heard the noise, I came over to check, and that’s how I saved you.

I don’t know if you are unlucky or lucky.

In broad daylight, encountering a ghost that can sneak underground and avoid sunlight is unlucky.

It’s lucky that I met you and I was able to save you.

If it were someone else, I really wouldn’t be able to save you."
