Chapter 91: Fighting against the Ghosts Alone
Chapter 91: Fighting against the Ghosts Alone (First Order Request!)
"Steel Cannon!"
Mousse's voice was hoarse and horrified, and he also didn't see clearly what had just happened.
It was obvious that the man was in a lower position, as if he was bending over to observe the body of the prostitute. Gang Pao had already seized his flaw and his attributes were also advantageous, but why was Gang Pao killed instantly?
The strangest thing was that he vaguely saw the man's sword at that moment, and felt that it was not the Sun Wheel Sword made of the orangutan red sand iron mineral. But why did the Steel Cannon stop moving after its head was chopped off?
Yes, this was the weirdest situation. Gunpao had lost his breath, and through the team channel, he also knew that Gunpao was dead, but as a ghost, Gunpao's body did not begin to dissipate. This was not the expected behavior after being killed by the Nichirin Sword.
Steel Cannon's body is still there, but his soul... seems to have been killed.
"Stop watching the show, hurry up and do it, this is not an ordinary pillar!"
Mousse shouted that they entered Demon Slayer as a team. There were six people in the team. They made a plan to come to Yoshiwara to snipe the enemy explorers and pillars. They didn't expect to encounter such an outrageous explorer right at the beginning.
"Are you the new pillar?!"
Hinazuru had just come back to her senses from her surprise. She thought she was in a hopeless situation, but the man next to her killed the new Twelve Demon Moons in one encounter.
However, Lu Li did not answer Hinazuru's words, "Go contact your friends to evacuate the people. Yoshiwara is about to become a battlefield."
In a sense, what the enemy said was not wrong. He was indeed not an ordinary pillar, because he was not a pillar.
Bang-bang-bang-
Along with the sound of wooden floors being pierced and wood chips flying all over the sky, strips of patterned cloth fell from the ceiling and stabbed Lu Li. This was the blood demon art of Upper Six Dakimaki.
Faced with the numerous strips of cloth stabbing at him like knives, Lu Li dodged with the smallest movement. The strong wind lifted the corners of Pure Black Nightmare's clothes, and against the backdrop of the twilight outside, he looked like a dancing night owl.
"You're disturbing my sweet dreams so early in the morning, but if you look closely, he does seem to be a handsome man..."
After the ceiling was pierced, a lazy voice came from above.
In the dim light above, a woman with frosty white hair looked down at Lu Li. She was wearing a delicate and smooth kimono with elegant landscape paintings embroidered on it.
Her skin is as white as cream, contrasting with her snow-white hair. Her emerald green eyes are deep and bright, containing the words 'Upper String' and 'Six'.
At this moment, her thin eyebrows slightly raised, as if she was somewhat impatient with the current situation, and also with disdain for the ghost killer below, "...I wonder how it tastes~"
Seeing this, Mousse wanted to scold the Upper Six, thinking, "What's your level? Don't you have any sense? Without your brother, you are nothing. Do you really think you are better than us?"
Didn't you see that the steel cannon was killed in one second? Why don't you quickly call your brother to come out and fight?
Hinazuru finally reacted at this moment, knowing that the battlefield here was not something she could interfere with, so she immediately ran out of Kyogokuya to contact her two good sisters to evacuate the people of Yoshiwara.
As for the prostitutes and clients in Kyogoku's house, although it was cruel, she knew that she could not take care of them with her own strength. Once Yoshiwara became a battlefield for the Upper Ranks and the Pillars, everyone would face a crisis, and she could only find a way to save more people.
As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, she certainly wants to save everyone, but she is not as naive as the younger members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
She now has two tasks, one is to evacuate the people as much as possible, and the other is to pass the message on and let the Demon Slayer Corps send out pillars for support.
You should know that except for the first generation of swordsmen who used breathing methods, the Demon Slayer Corps has no record of killing an Upper Rank in hundreds of years, which means that the Upper Rank cannot be dealt with by a single pillar.
And she had never seen that man before. She thought he must have been promoted to a pillar recently. If she let him face such a situation right away, he would probably be dead.
"I really don't understand that sir's idea. It's obvious that the lower string is of no use at all. Wouldn't it die immediately?"
Warabihime of Kyogokuya, or Dakime of the Upper Six, smiled sarcastically and had no sympathy for Gundam. It would be better to say that she hated these ghosts who broke into her territory.
If her brother hadn't said that since Lord Muzan had agreed to the birth of the new twelve demons, they shouldn't kill each other, she would have tied these demons up with ribbons and put them in the sun to die. She licked the corner of her mouth with her soft tongue, "It's just a pillar, I've already eaten seven of them."
"Hurry up and use all your strength, this guy is not simple."
Mousse shouted again, suggesting that Daki ask her brother Jifutaro for help. In his heart, he had already cursed Daki, the brainless woman, thousands of times.
I thought to myself, if we weren’t here, you would have been burned to death by the sun. Without our props, how could you still be alive?
"It seems like it's not easy for you either."
Lu Li said with a smile that he didn't mind chatting with the other party for a while. Anyway, the three Hinazuru sisters were evacuating the crowd, so they would definitely make a profit.
The only risk is his pause, which gives the opposing team time to gather.
Lu Li did not inform any member of the Demon Slayer Corps about this action. It was not because he was too reckless, but because he was confident in his own strength and he could not explain the source of the information.
Furthermore, the battle of Yoshiwara was a blitzkrieg, and if we arrived late there would be more variables.
As for why he didn't secretly evacuate the crowd first and then fight the demons, it was because it was unrealistic. Neither the prostitutes nor the prostitutes in Yoshiwara would believe what he said. After all, the Demon Slayer Corps was not a government-certified organization and had no credibility.
Most people won't cry until they see the coffin. They will never listen to the advice of strangers unless they really realize the crisis is coming.
All he could do was to kill the demons as quickly as possible after the battle began to minimize casualties.
"Being sympathized with by the enemy really makes us look incompetent."
Behind Lu Li, on the opposite side of the street, there was a figure standing on the rooftop, dressed in white, holding a long sword. "He was so calm even when surrounded. It seems that Steel Cannon's death was not unjust."
From Lu Li's perception, in addition to Daki, there were already five people surrounding Kyogokuya. From Hinazuru's perspective, he seemed to be in a desperate situation.
He closed his eyes and used the new tricks he had learned from his recent spiritual pressure training to sense the presence of the humans in the building.
Then he took a deep breath, lowered his body slightly, and grasped the hilt of the demon-imprisoning sword in the Iai stance.
"Come together and kill him!"
As Mousse shouted, the five members of the team rushed towards Lu Li almost at the same time.
The white-clad swordsman descended from across the street and attacked Lu Li's back. A sniper on a high point in the distance locked onto Lu Li's head. Mousse held a poisoned dagger, ready to strike at any opportunity.
The main tank Steel Plate, who was ambushing on the left wing of Kyogokuya, held a tower shield and used brute force to break through the wall, rushing towards Lu Li like a chariot.
The wall on the right was also broken. It was a blood vampire magic with a red glow, and the one who released it was Mor, the original magic explorer in their team.
At the same time, Du Ji also controlled many silk ribbons to fall from the sky and stab Lu Li.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and attacks from all directions surrounded Lu Li like a gorgeous disc.
A large amount of high-temperature steam gushed out of Lu Li's mouth, making a whistle-like explosion sound, and at the same time, a dazzling golden lightning appeared on his body.
The next moment, Lu Li's figure disappeared like lightning, the famous sword was unsheathed, and the imprisoned demon escaped from the cage!
The pitch-black blade emitted a golden light, like a lightning strike from heaven, cutting across the pavilion and splitting the entire side of Kyogokuya in half!
When Lu Li's figure solidified, he had already appeared high above Kyogokuya. Under the virtual night sky, the full moon silhouetted his back, and the blood of evil spirits was floating in the air.
