Demon Slayer: Swordsmith, Ryujin Jakka scares everyone to tears

The sun has already set.

Xuanya and Tanjiro are still speeding up their pace to the mission point - Iwatani Mountain.

Iwatani Mountain is between the Sword Forging Village and the training ground for new members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

According to intelligence information, several sword forgers and hidden members have disappeared here.

And the whereabouts of the three members of the Demon Slayer Corps who were sent to perform the mission before are also unknown, and they are likely to have died.

Tanjiro tightly grasped the scabbard at his waist, feeling uneasy.

Before coming, Shinobu Kocho helped him analyze this mission.

The reason why the mission location is between the Sword Forging Village and the training point, and sword forgers have been missing.

It is very likely that the Demon King Muzan has set up a trap here.

Although they can't find the location of the Sword Forging Village, they can often intercept the knives sent by the Sword Forging Village here, and they can attack sword forgers, causing considerable losses to the Demon Slayer Corps. In fact, sword forgers are not useless in the face of battle.

Because of their work, sword forgers are very concerned about their physical strength and various functions.

Many sword forgers insist on practicing all year round, and their physical fitness is actually comparable to that of ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members.

And the Sun Blades they sent out were all forged by themselves, so they would have a resonance with each other and be more handy to use.

But all the swordsmiths who passed through Iwaya Mountain never returned, and none of them escaped.

Based on the above information, Shinobu Kocho deduced that there are two possibilities for the things hidden in Iwaya Mountain.

The more optimistic possibility is that this thing has some special ability and is extremely strong in resistance to cutting.

The swordsmith can't hurt it at all with the strength of the sword, and it may not be afraid of the Sun Blade at all.

The other possibility is more terrifying, maybe the Twelve String Moon appeared here.

Tanjiro hopes it will be the first case.

Although he really wants to find Muzan and solve the problem of Nezuko.

But after this period of growth, he has clearly understood his current strength and can't rush it.

In this operation, he even entrusted Nezuko, who has not yet awakened, to Shinobu Kocho.

You know, Tanjiro has never let Nezuko leave him.

But this mission is too dangerous.

If you encounter the Twelve String Moon, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are going to die without the company of the pillars.

Tanjiro secretly glanced at Xuanya beside him and sighed softly.

It's a pity that it wasn't Inosuke who came.

At least, Inosuke's serrated Sun Blade is sharper, and if he faces an evil spirit that resists being chopped, his chances of winning will be greater.

At this point, he can only rely on his own water breathing.

I just hope Xuanya won't fall behind.

And Xuanya's mood at this time is more anxious.

Because one day has passed in the three days before the duel, and he has to go to see his master one day in advance.

There is not much time left for me.

I hope it can be resolved quickly.

His brother's angry look and those sarcastic remarks kept reappearing in his mind, forcing him to speed up his pace.

The two soon arrived at the foot of Iwakumo Mountain.

"Xuanya, if you encounter danger later, please don't be impulsive, let me go first. Because you don't know how to breathe, the things here may be beyond your imagination."Tanjiro said earnestly.

Xuanya frowned slightly and said,"Don't talk nonsense, use your nose to smell it quickly. I don't want to waste time."

Tanjiro looked embarrassed.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, he had to admit that his sense of smell and forehead were the strongest in the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Let's begin!"

Tanjiro pouted his nose seriously and walked forward following the smell.

In this way, the two walked into Iwayan Mountain one after the other.

It may be because the trees here are too lush and there is no sunlight all year round. As soon as they walked into the mountain, the cold air hit them.

Tanjiro always concentrated on smelling the smell.

Although the cold here is very heavy, the breath of evil spirits is still very obvious, mixed with the smell of rotten meat.

Still in front.

It should be in this direction.

The breath is getting heavier and heavier until it is a little pungent.

Tanjiro and Xuanya both lightened their footsteps at the same time.

Tanjiro even tiptoed.

He was afraid that the sound of stepping on the leaves on the ground would alarm people not far away. The thing at the back.

One step, then another step.

At this moment, Tanjiro suddenly felt his feet go soft, as if he stepped on mud.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at his feet.

It was a piece of cloth, a black cloth.

There was a word written on the cloth - Destruction.

It was the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps!

The uniform was already in tatters, with only the intact piece of cloth on the back.

After being stepped on by Tanjiro, some dark red things came out from all around the cloth, and they were sticky.

Tanjiro concentrated on his breathing, trying to keep himself calm, and observed it carefully.

It's meat!

The dark red thing was rotten meat, and there were some worms wriggling on it.

Tanjiro quickly covered his mouth and almost vomited.

"Why are there two little guys this time?"A hoarse voice sounded.

Who is speaking?

The voice... is like a countless number of blades in the throat, which makes people shudder.

Xuan Mi immediately turned around, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist, leaning against the box behind Tanjiro, alerting the surroundings.

"Not enough to eat... not enough……"That disgusting voice sounded again

"It's still unclear who will eat whom." Xuan Mi gritted his teeth, murderous intent rising,"Come out quickly!"

"Interesting little guy……"

Before he finished speaking, a huge figure fell from the sky and landed on the open ground several meters away.

It was a huge demon with an extremely strong body. Even in the dim light, one could see the bulging muscles on its body.

There were also pieces of protective plates sewn on its muscles that looked like bronze mirrors.

Tanjiro observed.

There were no twelve crescent moons in its eyes.���There was only the white of his eyes that were so pale that they shone, and his pupils were as small as pinholes.

Perhaps, it was really as Shinobu Kocho analyzed.

This guy killed so many swordsmiths because he was invulnerable.

And the reason for his invulnerability was probably because of the bronze mirrors sewn on his body.

If he wanted to win, he only needed to avoid those bronze mirrors and aim at his neck, and kill him with one strike!

""Do as I said before!"

Tanjiro yelled, leaving Xuanya alone and running towards the demon.

In order to prevent the demon from seeing the direction of his blade, Tanjiro hid the Nichirin sword behind him and dragged the sword forward.

But the demon didn't move at all.

I don't know if it was too late to react or if it didn't want to defend at all.

When there was only two meters left from the demon, Tanjiro jumped up.

"Water Breathing!"

Waves of water surged from the Sun Blade in Tanjiro's hand, leaving several blue trails in the air.

Tanjiro's speed was much faster than in the previous selection, and the momentum of Water Breathing was also much more powerful.

""One form! Water surface slash!"

The waves quickly slashed towards the devil's neck with the blade.

There was no bronze mirror there, which was one of the few gaps on the devil's body.

It was so close.

As long as the knife was cut down, everything would be over.

However,

Tanjiro finally relaxed.

This relaxation made him make a fatal mistake.

He glanced at the bronze mirror on the devil's shoulder.

The blade suddenly stopped, and there was only a distance of two fingers from the devil's neck.
