Mask: Begins with training with Hibiki

Looking at the Crab Master in front of him, Zangui tightly grasped the Thunderbolt in his hand and said:

"Todagawa, watch carefully how I deal with the demonized monster."

"Yes".

Todagawa responded and stood still, watching Zanki go forward alone to fight against Kanibozu.

Crab Master looked at the tiny ghost in front of him and swung his pincers towards the ghost.

Zhan Gui took a deep breath, holding the thunder tightly in his hand and swinging it hard at the crab master's crab claws.

When the two collided, the fierce thunder broke through the shell of Crab Master like a tornado. Crab Master felt pain and used his other claw to hit the Demon Slayer.

The devil-slaying trick was used again to repel the crab master's other crab claw.

With this attack, the flaw in Crab Master's abdomen was exposed. Demon Slayer seized the opportunity, grabbed the Thunder and thrust it hard, directly into its abdomen.

After a successful attack, Zhan Gui quickly took the component from his waist and installed it on Lie Lei.

Fierce thunder unfolded instantly, and Demon Slayer launched a sound strike directly at Crab Master.

"Ding~".

As soon as the Sound Strike Slash was launched, Zhan Gui, who had used his body to support the power of Lie Lei and Kaifangzhu, suddenly suffered a relapse of his old injury, and one of his legs instantly became so weak that he fell to his knees.

The Sound Strike was interrupted, and Crab Lord, who was originally controlled, regained his ability to move. He broke free from Zangui in an instant and threw Zangui directly into the river.

After Zangui was thrown away, Crab Lord immediately chased after him, as if he wanted to crush him to death.

In a flash, Zhan Gui knelt on one knee, and with the convenience of squatting, he used Lie Lei to support Crab Master.

Under Crab Master, Zhan Gui slowly stood up, and with a sudden force, Zhan Gui flipped Crab Master's huge body over, lying on his back on the ground, unable to turn over.

Zhan Gui held down Crab Lord under him tightly and seized the opportunity to launch two consecutive Sound Strike Slash attacks, causing Crab Lord's body to explode instantly.

The demonized monster exploded, and the demon slayer's body was directly overturned into the stream by the aftermath of the explosion.

Zhan Gui struggled to stand up and staggered towards the shore. After reaching the shore, Zhan Gui lay down weakly on the shore and cancelled his facial transformation.

Todagawa looked at his master's steps, which were one deep step and one shallow step, and shouted worriedly, "Master Killer Demon."

Zhan Gui didn't say anything, he just lay on the river bank and gasped heavily.

......

At this time in the city of Kyoto, Hibiki and others were exercising in an open space.

Jiang Chen looked at Wei Chuigui who was doing Tai Chi and said:

"Brother Weichui, I think you have been learning Tai Chi for some time. Do you want to practice with us?"

Wei Chuigui didn't stop his work, but just said lightly:

"I won't fight. I can't beat you anyway. Didn't you teach me that a shooter should just be a shooter and not fight in the line?"

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that the boaster would use his own words to describe himself.

Xianggui, who had just bought some water, trotted over to Tian Meijing and handed her the water.

"Here, I bought the water."

"Thank you Uncle Xiang."

Xiang Gui looked at Jiang Chen and Wei Chui who were chatting not far away and said with a smile: "Xiao Jing has made a lot of progress recently."

Tian Meijing smiled and said, "This is also thanks to you."

"Is it because of your concentration? No, it's because of your willpower."

Tian Meijing shook her head and smiled: "No, I think it is because of the teachings of Brother Jiang Chen and Master Wei Chui."

"but".

Tian Meijing changed the subject and said: "I heard that you made rapid progress in your practice back then."

Xianggui smiled faintly and said: "That's true. Many people said so back then, but I think Jiang Chen is the fastest."

"Yes, Uncle Xiang and Brother Jiang Chen are both extremely talented people."

"Xiao Jing, the next step is to transform into a ghost, are you looking forward to it?"

"Yes".

"Do you still want to transform into a ghost as soon as possible?"

Tian Meijing suddenly smiled, shook her head and said: "But Master Weichui told me that more haste makes waste."

Xianggui smiled and said, "Yeah, that's right. How come Weichu is still young and active in the front line? He won't retire so soon. He will take his time."

"By the way, even if Brother Jiang Chen has passed the assessment, he is still learning. It doesn't matter if I'm a little slow."

"Just slow down and learn more."

......

"Knock, knock, knock~".

In Tachibana Dessert Shop, the phone suddenly rang and Hinajia quickly answered the call.

"Moshimoshi, it's Todagawa. We haven't contacted each other for a long time."

Hinajia became excited when she heard Todagawa's voice.

Todagawa was a little embarrassed when he heard Hinajia's excited voice, and then he interrupted hurriedly:

"Yeah, we haven't been in touch for a long time, and we got rid of that crab sound attack."

"Ah, it's done, you really deserve to be called Zhan, Todagawa, you've worked hard too."

"No, I didn't help much either, it's just that the master is so powerful."

"It's great to have you duo back. By the way, let me tell you about our future as a pair."

Hearing that Hinaka was getting more and more outrageous, Todagawa interrupted hurriedly:

"Wait, wait, let's take this matter slow for now."

As he said this, Todagawa looked at Zhangui for help. Zhangui saw the embarrassment his apprentice felt when facing emotional issues, smiled and reached out to take the phone.

Seeing this, Todagawa handed the phone to Zhangui as if he had been pardoned.

Zangui got the phone, and Hinajia was still chattering:

"Let's go out together next time. I will prepare a detailed plan, but Todagawa, you must want to eat conveyor belt sushi."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Gui chuckled and said, "I am Zhan. Isn't your father here?"

Hinaka's excitedly waving hands suddenly stopped, and she recalled what she had just said and said awkwardly:

"Father, father went out for something."

"Okay, then please tell him that I'm ready to retire, and I will let Toda River pass the assessment and take my place as soon as possible."

Hinaka on the other end of the phone was so shocked that she screamed, "Ah? Are you serious?"

"Yes, please tell me."

"ah"?

Upon hearing this, Todagawa was also shocked and shouted.

Zhan Gui hung up the phone, looked at Todagawa with a smile and said, "Let's go, we can start to go back."

As he said that, he sat in the passenger seat. Even though Toda Gawa was full of doubts, he immediately got in the car and drove away out of respect for his master's orders.

They drove all the way to a small service area, and Zhan Gui said, "Let's stop the car out front and buy a bottle of water."

"Yes".

When the car stopped, Zan Gui got out leisurely and walked towards the service area. Todagawa, who was following closely behind him, could no longer hold back his doubts and hurried forward to ask.

"Master Zhan, what do you mean by retirement?"

Zhan Gui smiled and said: "What else can it mean? It just means that I want to retire."

"No, I mean".

Before Todagawa could finish, Zanki interrupted him and explained: "What I mean is that I won't transform into a ghost and fight anymore."

"Are you serious?"

"This is nothing to joke about, be serious."

"Why is this happening? Why didn't you discuss this with me?"

There was a hint of grievance in Todagawa's tone.

Then, as if he remembered something, he asked, "Have you discussed this with Uncle Xiang and the others in advance?"

Zhan Gui put the coin into the vending machine without looking back and said lightly: "No, I just decided."

"Why is this happening?"

Killer Devil sighed and handed the drink in his hand to Todagawa and said:

"You've seen it all, my body can't stand the fight anymore. I thought I'd be able to return after my injury healed, but I didn't expect to be still the same, with problems all over my body and unable to exert my strength."

"Kill the master."

"To be honest, I would be in danger if you hadn't come today."

"Don't say that."

Zhan Gui interrupted Todagawa again and said: "From now on these things will be handed over to you, and I will let you take the test earlier."

"I can't do it."

"Why".

"No, no, no."

As he spoke, Todagawa didn't notice that there was a green belt behind him, and he turned around and fell directly into it.
