"Demon Slayer Corps? Well, it's a pity! Your attack just now posed no threat to me. The wound will heal soon!" The {demon} touched his neck, which had been cut by Ryuji, and said with a playful smile.
Hearing this, Ryuji wasn't surprised at all. He knew about the {demon}'s regenerative ability. Ordinary weapons couldn't kill them. They needed special weapons, like the Nichirin sword used by Tomioka Giyuu.
The Nichirin sword was the weapon used by most Demon Slayers. Only a few special demon hunters had unique weapons.
Ryuji's Demon Slayer sword was more advanced than the Nichirin sword. After all, it was a gift from the system. Even if it was a free gift, it must have something special about it.
"Oh, really?" Ryuji pretended to be enlightened.
Just as the {demon} was feeling proud and about to recover his neck wound, his expression suddenly turned into one of shock and surprise.
"What's going on? Why isn't the wound healing?"
"I forgot to tell you, my sword has the ability to suppress wound healing. If you're cut by my sword, even if you're a {demon}, your wound won't heal instantly." Ryuji said leisurely.
"Impossible!" The {demon} was shocked. For a {demon}, this wasn't good news. Because of excessive blood loss, even a demon, even if it didn't die, would probably not pose any threat.
After the panic, the {demon} quickly calmed down. Although his wound couldn't heal now, this amount of bleeding wouldn't pose any threat to a {demon}.
Soon, he noticed that his wound was showing signs of healing, just very slowly. But compared to humans, this healing speed was still considered fast.
Noticing this, the {demon} immediately showed a cocky and playful expression again. He said to Ryuji, "You almost scared me! Although your sword has the ability to suppress wound healing, it's only suppression. I can feel my wound healing on its own, just takes a little time."
Hearing this, Ryuji didn't show any surprise. The Demon Slayer sword's characteristic was just as the {demon} said, it only had a certain inhibitory effect. Facing the {demon}'s own super strong regenerative ability, the Demon Slayer sword couldn't completely prevent the wound from healing.
"So what? My sword can hurt you, and it can definitely kill you! You know, my demon sword has been thirsty for a long time!" Ryuji didn't panic. He said coldly to the {demon}.
After saying that, the demon blood on the blade of the Demon Slayer sword was instantly absorbed.
This was also a characteristic of the Demon Slayer sword. It could absorb demon blood. The more it absorbed, the more powerful the Demon Slayer sword's killing power against demons would be, and its own characteristics would be enhanced accordingly. For example, the ability to suppress wound recovery.
Ryuji's words made the {demon}, who had been arrogant for a while, calm down again. Now, he felt that the man in front of him was not someone easy to bully.
The {demon} quickly looked around and immediately noticed Tanjiro standing at the entrance of the Buddhist temple. Without hesitation, he shifted his target to Tanjiro.
The {demon} was incredibly fast. Before Ryuji could catch up, the {demon} was already in front of Tanjiro, grabbing him and Nezuko, and lifting the siblings up.
The feeling of suffocation made Tanjiro come back to his senses, but now, any resistance he made was useless.
