Romeo poured the last of his strength into his hands.
Shadowless Hand!
A black shadow was blown away by Romeo.
Fortunately, the opponent seemed very weak and was unable to stand up for a long time after being knocked to the ground by Romeo.
Romeo covered the wound on his back and took two breaths of cold air.
He was practicing breathing techniques just now, and the sudden injury caused Romeo's lungs to suffer a certain degree of damage.
Fortunately, no important organs on the back were injured.
Moreover, the wound was not deep, and it seemed that the opponent was not very strong, so it should be a very weak ghost.
But when the dark shadow in the distance slowly stood up, Romeo was stunned.
"uncle?!"
The person in the shadow was the old man we met at the foot of the mountain!
No wonder he doesn't have much strength.
Although his mental strength was exhausted, he remained on guard against ghosts at all times. Even the weakest ghost could be detected by him.
But the human Romeo subconsciously did not take it into consideration, which gave the old man a chance to take advantage of!
But.
Why did the old man want to assassinate himself?
How did you get to the top of the mountain?
The next moment, the old man gave Romeo the answer.
"What are you doing?" The old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glared and roared, "Look at what you have done. How can I become a ghost if you all kill me?"
The old man found it hard to accept the mess in the room for a moment.
He had clearly put in a huge amount of effort, and he was going to become a ghost tonight!
But Romeo ruined it all!
In such a huge house, there was only one female ghost left!
The helpless and furious old man finally vented all his anger on Romeo.
Romeo fell silent for a rare moment.
"You know what? Sometimes people are scarier than ghosts. Many times I saved them but they didn't appreciate it at all. Some even said they wanted to become ghosts!"
At this time, Romeo finally understood what Kochou Shinobu meant in his diary.
Sometimes, human hearts are scarier than ghosts.
They will help ghosts to harm their own kind, and even become one of them for their own desires.
At this moment, Romeo understood everything.
Why are there people at the foot of the mountain when it is clearly full of ghosts?
Why didn't the first ghost he met go after the old man first, but instead targeted him first?
Even Romeo couldn't understand why Kochou Shinobu was injured at first, because Romeo didn't find any trace of the upper string here.
But Romeo overlooked another factor.
That's human!
Romeo finally understood how Kochou Shinobu was injured.
His eyes grew colder.
The wound on my back felt like a thorn in my side, burning me like the sun.
Soon, the old man took action again.
He saw Mukago sobbing on the ground, and with the last glimmer of hope he immediately rushed to Mukago's mouth.
"Please, turn me into a ghost! I have cancer and I'm going to die soon!"
"Please, I don't want to die! Please let me live!"
The old man was in tears and looked extremely pitiful.
Mukago blinked, glanced at the old man, and then bit the old man's neck directly.
The old man was delighted.
The next moment he died.
Romeo watched all this indifferently.
The contents of Kochou Shinobu's diary came to his mind again.
: "I'm very angry and I want to kill them! But I'm a member of the Demon Slayer Corps and I can't do that."
What does the ghost-killing person have to do with me, Romeo?
After putting aside these unrealistic thoughts in his mind, Romeo silently raised the knife in his hand.
Walked towards Mukago.
Mukago was still wolfing down the old man's flesh.
There was some minced meat on the corner of her mouth, and she looked very hungry.
Facing Romeo holding a knife, she had no reaction at all.
Romeo stared at her silently.
Although the poison of wisteria flowers will inhibit the regeneration of ghosts, the poison will be weakened accordingly if the ghost is supplemented with a large amount of flesh and blood.
Romeo kept this in mind.
Watching Mukago swallow the last bite of meat with relish, Romeo picked up the knife and chopped off her limbs.
Mukago finally couldn't hold it anymore.
"Why! Why do you do this to me!?"
"Obviously, if I survive, I will become the Second Upper Rank!"
"Obviously, if I kill you, I will be qualified to fight against the upper ranks!"
"Why is the world so unfair! No! I can't die! Never!"
Phew!
Romeo slashed at Mukago again with an expressionless face.
The accompanying wisteria flower toxin made Mukago scream in pain.
Perhaps knowing that she couldn't escape, Mukago suddenly laughed crazily.
"Hey, you are concerned about that Kochou girl, right? Our people stabbed her!"
"She should have been the one to die tonight! Lord Douma really likes this girl!"
"I think when Lady Douma eats every last morsel of her flesh, I can get a share too! Hehehe!"
Click!
Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap! ! ! !
Romeo raised his knife and chopped the demon head in front of him into powder with Nichirin Blades.
But after doing all this, Romeo did not stop.
Instead, he continued swinging the Nichirin Blades and cut a half-meter hole in the floor before finally stopping.
Douma, that name again.
Unexpectedly, the leader of the demons, Kibutsuji Muzan, would agree to let Douma gather the people to act, which was beyond Romeo's expectations.
Just as Romeo lowered his head in thought.
There was some movement beside him.
Romeo turned his head indifferently.
It turned out that the previous Wakuraba was not yet dead, and its head had already crawled next to Mukago's headless body.
While the female corpse was still there, Wakuraba opened his mouth and started to eat it like a wolf.
"You are really hungry." Romeo shook his head lightly.
Then he walked up to the opponent and performed a skull crushing operation on Wakuraba as well.
Yidao sent the other party away.
...
night.
The group marched in a mighty procession across the halfway point of Autumn Mountain and headed towards the top of the mountain.
They were dressed in black, with a Nichirin Blade on their waists and a big "滅" character written on the back.
The leader was a young girl.
She wore a rainbow-colored haori, and her purple-black hair was tied up high with an exquisite Kochou hairpin.
But at this time her hand seemed to be injured, and bright red blood stained half of her sleeve.
"Master Shinobu, please stop and rest for a while!"
Seeing how hard Kochou Shinobu was working, a team member couldn't help but step forward and say something.
But Kochou Shinobu shook his head.
They have been here for several days. If they delay any further, the situation will be reversed in an instant.
The enemies on the mountain were smart and knew they could not defeat them, so they began to use various blood magic to interfere with them, trying to trap them alive on the mountain.
In addition, Kochou Shinobu was also injured in a sudden attack by an old woman at the foot of the mountain, and the team's strength was reduced for a while.
Why do ghosts gather together?
Kochou Shinobu has been thinking about this question.
"Is it the ghost holding the fan?" She suddenly remembered the disgusting figure.
Apart from that ghost, Kochou Shinobu couldn't think of anyone else who had the power to command all the ghosts.
Just at this moment.
A member of the Demon Slayer Corps suddenly pointed ahead and said excitedly: "Look, the road ahead has changed!"
