Chapter 101 Pearl World
Chapter 101 Pearl World
After hearing the order, the explorers looked at each other. If it weren’t for the cursing that would be heard by Muzan, they would have wanted to curse Muzan’s ancestors for eighteen generations.
Muzan also received news of the battle of Yoshiwara, but unlike these explorers, he had two ideas. One was that these temporarily created Twelve Demon Moons were indeed useless, and the other was that he had a clear sense of crisis.
So Muzan now ordered all the demons in Asakusa Castle to lie low, not to cause trouble, and not to look for the Demon Slayer swordsman named Lu Li.
In one word, coward!
At this time, several powerful explorers in Asakusa were feeling extremely frustrated. When Lu Li was fighting with Upper Six during the day, they wanted to go over to support him and see if they could get some kills, but they were stopped by Muzan.
Muzan can sense the situation of all demons, but he just doesn't pay attention to them normally. He would still pay a little attention to the situation of the Upper Ranks, so when the battle broke out, Muzan knew that the Upper Rank Six had encountered a strong enemy. However, he didn't care at first. After all, the Upper Ranks have been able to defeat the Pillars for hundreds of years, and he believes that this time will be the same.
So he thought there was no need to let these new powerful guards go to the battle. As a result, not long after, he suddenly discovered that Upper Six was dead, and with him the new Twelve Demon Moons also died.
At this moment, Muzan was a little scared. He was unsure of Lu Li's strength and didn't want to start a fight with his gold medal fighter, Upper Ranks 1, 2 and 3, stationed away. Besides, he was having a great time playing house recently with his lovely wife and daughter in his arms, and he didn't want to disrupt his current peaceful life.
Now the explorers of the Muzan camp have finally realized that their mission in this world is not without difficulty. The biggest drawback of the Muzan camp is the "pig teammates" and "stupid bosses".
If they were to gather all the Twelve Demon Moons now, kill Lu Li in Asakusa Castle first, and then form a team to hunt down the Pillars, this world would be declared over within a month, and Muzan would become an absolutely safe Demon King.
But why are you such an idiot, Muzan?
Lu Li is an explorer. It might not be difficult for you to kill him now, but if you allow such an obviously powerful explorer to continue to develop and grow in the world, wouldn't that be nurturing a tiger to cause harm?
Now they can only hope that the eloquent explorer can persuade Muzan more and gather together quickly to eliminate the unstable factors first, and then they can do whatever they want with it afterwards.
…………
The explorers from Muzan's camp were worrying about how to serve their stupid boss, while Lu Li had already found Miss Tamayo's hiding place.
The End Space will not release any missions that are too difficult. Since he has already activated the hidden mission and is asked to cooperate with Miss Tamayo's research, the End Space will naturally give some location guidance.
Based on his memory of the original novel, Lu Li searched several alleys and finally got a spatial guidance hint in a sparsely populated alley. After touching the wall, he passed through.
However, even without the spatial hint, Lu Li felt that he would not miss this alley, because his perception was very good. Coupled with the skills he learned from the spiritual pressure training method, his ability to perceive space and biological aura was no longer what it used to be.
Yushiro's blood demon technique can confuse people's eyes, but it cannot confuse Lu Li's perception. He can clearly perceive that the wall is an illusion, and there is a ghostly breath behind it.
As soon as he entered the yard, a figure holding a wooden stick rushed over. The young man had fashionable short hair with green and black highlights and a fearless look on his face. He hit Lu Li with the stick.
boom--
Lu Li threw a light punch, knocking Yushiro away. Yushiro, who was not strong in physical skills, fell on his butt.
"Damn Demon Slayer Corps, we've all hid here. We haven't hurt anyone, why are you still chasing us?!"
The young man named Yushiro shouted angrily, picked up the stick after getting up from the ground, and looked at Lu Li warily.
He had sensed the other party approaching the illusion barrier he had set up just now, but when the other party passed through the barrier and he faced the man directly, he felt the invisible pressure.
He smelled a strong smell of blood on the other person, which was the blood of evil ghosts. The man in front of him must have killed many ghosts, and they were powerful ghosts.
They...could they be caught by the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps?
Yushiro heard footsteps in the corridor and did not turn around, but just shouted: "Master Tamayo, run away! It's the Demon Slayer Corps's pillar! I'll hold him back!"
Lu Li also saw the beautiful woman who pushed the door open, and a smile appeared on his face, "Oh? It seems that I have found the right place."
But in Yushiro's eyes, the smile on Lu Li's face was like that of a devil, like the smile of a cruel murderer when he finds his prey, which made him feel cold.
In order to protect Lord Tamayo, despite his trembling legs, he still mustered up the courage to face the terrifying man in black, "Don't even think about hurting Lord Tamayo while I'm here!"
Tamayo, who had just pushed the door open and walked out, looked like she had just stepped out of the bath. Her kimono, dyed with a light cherry blossom pattern, was draped softly on her body. Her collar was half open, revealing her creamy skin.
The long black hair was slightly tied up, and a few strands of scattered hair gently brushed against the white shoulders, like a touch of warmth in an ink painting, with water stains gently sliding down it, and bead-like drops of water slowly flowing down along the curve of the skin, staining the scarlet edge of the kimono.
Her eyebrows were as thin as willows, gently raised, and there were a few drops of water hanging on her eyelashes, like morning dew.
After leaving the house, Tamayo saw this scene. She immediately raised her hand, stroked the white skin of her arm, and opened her soft lips, "Blood Demon Art. Bewitching Blood. Visual Fantasy."
Suddenly, all kinds of dreamy patterns appeared in Lu Li's eyes, dancing like a dragon in the courtyard, and Tamayo, who was standing in front of the Japanese-style room, turned around and shouted to Yushiro, "Yushiro, run away!"
Lu Li stirred up the soul source in his body, and with the effect of the Giant's Heart, he almost instantly got rid of the illusion control effect of Zhu Shi's blood demon art.
He looked at Tamayo and Yushiro who were panicking and covering each other to let the other escape, and couldn't help but touch his face, "Do I look that scary?"
He believed that he had not released any murderous intent since entering the courtyard, and that he had only beaten Yushiro back when faced with his attack. But now, the two of them seemed to be on the verge of death.
Seeing Yushiro about to fight again, Lu Li quickly said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to kill you."
"Only a ghost can believe you!"
However, Yushiro still roared and rushed towards Lu Li. In his opinion, the strong smell of ghost blood on Lu Li's body obviously meant that he had just killed a powerful ghost not long ago, maybe today. How could such a murderous ghost killer let them go? He must be confusing him with words to make him relax his vigilance.
Seeing this, Lu Li could only helplessly dodge sideways, grab the wooden stick in Yushiro's hand, take it away, then grab Yushiro's wrist with his backhand and pin him against the cherry tree next to him.
"If I wanted to kill you, you would have been beheaded long ago. Why can't you understand what I'm saying?"
Lu Li complained helplessly, "Besides, aren't you a ghost?"
Miss Tamayo was still relatively calm. Seeing that Lu Li did not hurt Yushiro, and considering what he said before, she did not continue to attack Lu Li. "My dear Demon Slayer, you said you have no intention of killing us. Why?"
After she "turned over a new leaf", she turned Yushiro into a demon. Although she has never harmed humans over the years, she has seen many swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps who wanted to kill her and Yushiro.
It is natural for the Demon Slayer Corps to kill demons. They would almost always hack her and Yushiro to death as soon as they met without giving her a chance to explain. So she was very curious why this seemingly strong man let her and Yushiro go.
"I heard from nearby residents that there was a doctor with excellent medical skills who was treating patients nearby. I was curious and came here to find him."
Lu Li explained, looking at Tamayo, "Let's not talk about this beautiful ghost lady for now, it seems that this young man I caught has never eaten anyone before, right?"
Tamayo was a little surprised when she heard that. She didn't expect Lu Li could tell whether a ghost had eaten a human. She nodded, "Yes, Yushiro has never eaten a human, so if you want to do it, just kill me and let Yushiro go."
When she first became a ghost, she did eat humans and killed her husband and children because she couldn't control the desire in her blood.
This was the thing that she regretted the most and was in pain for, and that was why he hated Wuzan so much.
The reason she wanted to live wasn't just because she was afraid of death. She wanted to see her child grow up, so she had a desire to live. But after becoming a demon, she killed her child. How could she not hate Muzan for turning her into a demon?
As a demon who has killed people, Tamayo has always been prepared to be killed by the Demon Slayer Corps, but she feels a little regretful that she has not yet made a medicine that can turn a demon back into a human.
“It’s so hard to communicate.”
Lu Li let go of the angry Yu Shilang and said, "I've already said that I'm not here to kill anyone. If what you said is true, then I'm afraid you haven't eaten anyone for a long time. And you have a good reputation in the local area. You have indeed cured many people."
"Of course, Lord Tamayo is a kind man who has treated many patients for free. We have no intention of hurting anyone. Now that you know this, let's go!"
Yushiro looked at Lu Li warily, his tone very angry.
"Shut up!"
Lu Li was a little impatient, and released a bit of murderous aura, which immediately made Yu Shilang silent.
"Yushiro, don't be rude. This swordsman from the Demon Slayer Corps is not an enemy."
It was Zhu Shi who saw it clearly. She knew that if a strong man like Lu Li really wanted to kill them, they would be beheaded in an instant. There was no need to say so much.
She looked at Lu Li with confusion in her beautiful eyes, "So what do you want from me?"
"I want you."
Lu Li said briefly.
Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Yushiro, who had just been shocked, became excited again, "So you are coveting Lady Tamayo's unparalleled beauty!? You lustful swordsman! I will fight you!"
Lu Li kicked Yushiro away and said, "I don't have time to joke with you. This place is not safe. If you want to live, follow me. The Demon Slayer Corps needs your medical skills."
Tamayo was stunned when she heard this, "The Demon Slayer Corps wants my... medical technology?"
"Yes, we need your skills to deal with Muzan. The day of the final battle is approaching."
Lu Li was talking nonsense, but it wasn't a complete lie. He personally had no intention of relying on the power of Tamayo's medicine to deal with Muzan. He preferred to chop down enemies in their prime.
However, this does not mean that the Demon Slayer Corps does not need Tamayo at all. The opponent's medical strength is very helpful to the entire camp, and it can also be regarded as an insurance against Muzan.
The most important thing is that his hidden mission cannot cause Tamayo's death, otherwise he will not be able to collect his reward.
"Should I go with you to the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Tamayo seemed a little embarrassed. Although she was not an evil ghost now, she still had an instinctive fear of going to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Master Tamayo, you can't trust him..."
Yushiro's little head obviously didn't understand the situation yet, and he instinctively resisted any demon killers approaching him and Miss Tamayo. But before he could finish his words of persuasion, Lu Li drew the knife from his waist.
