Chapter 105 Lightning Tears Through the Darkness
Chapter 105 Lightning Tears Through the Darkness
"It's over, it's over. It's really over now."
Little Camellia felt despair as she watched the fish monsters surrounding the forest. Even though she knew that they didn't want to kill them just for fun and fishing, she still had some delusional hopes that she could escape.
But now Yu Hu's power directly sealed the mountain, cutting off her last ray of thought.
boom--
A lightning-like figure passed by her, and the boy in a yellow haori crashed into a tree. It was not known whether it was because of the pain or because the nightmare had actively canceled his ability, but Zenitsu woke up.
Zenitsu woke up and looked at the flames, the ghosts, and the fish monsters in the forest. He was so scared that he screamed, "Wow! I'm dying, dying, dying, what kind of nightmare is this? Wasn't I just making out with Nezuko? "
He looked at the blood on his body and said, "It hurts so much. It feels like all the bones in my body are broken."
Seeing Zenitsu's reaction, Xiao Chahua felt even colder in her heart, "Zenitsu, this is a nightmare, go back to sleep quickly, and the pain will go away when you fall asleep."
She also wanted to try to ask the 'Sleeping Pillar' to come online. The situation was already bad enough. Even Zenitsu who was sleeping was still a strong fighter. He could at least hold back an explorer. But what should she do now that she's awake?
"Is it a nightmare?"
Zenitsu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then his expression twisted, "But it hurts so much, isn't it supposed to not hurt in dreams?"
Seeing this, Camellia knew that Zenitsu could not sleep anymore, so she had to hold the Nichirin Sword tightly in her hand, ready to fight to the death.
Their swords were not newly made by swordsmiths, but temporary Sun-Rin Swords received from trainers. These Sun-Rin Swords were left behind by swordsmen who used the same breathing method in the past, so anyone who uses the same breathing method can use them.
However, because it is not his exclusive sword that he activated from the beginning, he cannot exert his maximum power. The same situation applies to Zenitsu and Tanjiro.
Of course, Xiao Chahua doesn’t think that these young protagonists can reverse the situation by changing into their own exclusive swords.
“What a gorgeous and desperate place.”
The Sound Pillar's body was covered in blood and he was breathing heavily. In the brief battle with Upper Rank Five just now, he had suffered serious injuries. He was bitten by a group of small strange fish and was bleeding profusely.
But even so, he still had a sunny smile on his face, "Then let me make a gorgeous counterattack!"
"Master Yu Zhuan..."
Tanjiro's eyes welled up with tears when he saw this scene, because he saw that under the torn clothes of the Sound Pillar was a mess of blood and flesh, and his muscular arms were full of pits.
That was caused by Yu Hu's blood demon technique, Ten Thousand Sliding Air Sticky Fish. At that time, Yu Hu took out ten pots with sticky fish patterns and summoned ten thousand sticky fish from the pots to bite the sound column. Those sticky fish had sharp teeth that could gnaw the enemy until only bones were left.
Even though the Sound Column retreated in time, it was still bitten by a group of fish and suffered extensive injuries. In some places, bones were exposed. Not only that, these fish were poisonous and were corroding the Sound Column's body.
In this situation, the Sound Pillar did not give up hope. He threw two smoke bombs that exploded in the forest, and shouted, "Tanjiro, run to the land of the rising sun!"
Tanjiro reacted instantly and realized that the Sound Pillar was asking him to run to the east. Although he was gentle, he was not an indecisive person. He immediately carried Ino-chan and ordered Nezuko to pick up the injured Zenitsu and run to the east.
Camellia was a beat slow to react, and she followed Tanjiro's footsteps and rushed forward. After running two steps, she gritted her teeth, turned around, picked up the half-dead Little Tornado from the ground, and tried hard to chase Tanjiro.
The sudden smoke bomb attack from the Sound Pillar obscured the vision of the ghosts present. The exploring ghosts were alert to their surroundings, fearing that the Sound Pillar would suddenly attack them. As for the three ghosts, Yuhu, Yanmeng and Lei, who were originally the Twelve Ghost Moons, they were relatively calm.
Relying on his sound perception and his memory of the terrain in the smoke, Yin Zhu charged straight forward to the east and killed five or six strange fish in an instant.
He broke through the blockade of the strange fish in the east, but the physical injuries and poison made him cough up blood while using his strength. After dealing with the strange fish, his body was unstable and he could no longer run. He could only keep from falling by sticking his two swords into the ground.
Tanjiro passed by the Sound Pillar with tears in his eyes without any pause. He knew that if he was pretentious at this time, the Sound Pillar's death would be in vain.
The Sound Pillar watched Tanjiro, several new members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and himself passing by as they ran towards the dark fog, but in his eyes it was like they were running towards dawn.
I'm sorry, I'm still not strong enough to protect everyone.
But at the very least, let you young sparks escape.
"Blood Demon Art: Killing Eye Cage."
However, in the magnetic and gloomy voice, the idea of Yinzhu risking his life to save the newcomer seemed to have become a luxury.
A blood-red spider silk spread out, blocking Tanjiro and his companions. Thanks to Tanjiro's instinctive sword drawing, he was not cut directly by the spider silk.
Now that they are all exhausted after the bloody battle, the blood demon art of the Lower Five is like an insurmountable chasm that seems impossible to overcome.
"If you want help, just release a mouse, right? How can we escape together?"
Lei stood on the tree, his hands weaving bloody spider webs like a twirling rope, staring at Nezuko with burning eyes, "If you are willing to give me your sister, I can let you pass."
"What are you talking about!? There's no way I could hand Nezuko over to you!!"
Tanjiro roared and chopped the spider silk with his sword. He couldn't accept it. The Sound Pillar used his life to clear a way for them. It would be too tragic if they couldn't escape down the mountain.
“How dare you destroy my work of art like this…” Yu Hu stood on the tree trunk above Uzui Tengen, looking at the slain fish monster with a gloomy expression, “…I’m tired of playing with you too, so I’ll just turn you into my new Hu.”
Anyway, as long as someone can deliver the letter, new pillars will arrive later, so he won't have to worry about having nothing to play.
"As a music artist, it makes me sick to hear the word art from something as disgusting as yours."
Yinzhu was not defeated by the despair in front of him. His voice was weak, but his fighting spirit was still rising. The circular spot makeup on his left eye seemed to be getting darker.
Just when he seemed to have grasped some mysterious feeling and was about to fight with his life to kill Tamahime to open the way for Tanjiro and the others, his good hearing heard a certain sound.
It was a sound like the howling of a strong wind mixed with the roar of thunder.
Yuhu and Yanmeng, who had higher perception, also heard something and turned their attention to the foot of the mountain in the east.
A strong wind blew, the mountains and forests shook, leaves flew like rain, and the fog dissipated like water. It was like thunder passing through the sky and lightning tearing through the darkness!
The black figure, wrapped in golden lightning, pierced through the dark night and shattered the dream woven by the blood web.
When he stood still, the strong wind seemed to come late, blowing past him from behind, blowing his black feather robe, dividing the mountain fire on both sides and standing on both sides.
Lu Li placed his hand on the shoulder of Uzui Tengen, who was half-kneeling on the ground, "You should save some energy to see your family..."
The firelight illuminated the man's profile, the strong wind blew the strands of hair on his forehead, and the invisible aura blew towards everyone present like a passing gale, causing the ghosts present to forget to attack for a moment.
Lu Li saw Tanjiro and his companions covered in wounds from the corner of his eye. His gaze paused on Zenitsu, who was covered in blood, and his expression darkened. "...I will take over the battlefield."
At this time, because of the lack of speed, the crows flew down from the sky, hanging a notice, "The Mingzhu has arrived at the battlefield, please evacuate the injured soldiers first!"
"Senior Brother Lu..."
Zenitsu looked at the man's back under the firelight, and was surprised at first, then he immediately warned in a weak voice, "Brother, you have to be careful of that ghost, he has the ability to make people fall asleep."
Lu Li used Hui Dao to help Yin Zhu stabilize his injuries. He did not turn around, but glanced at the group of ghosts gathering in the west. "No wonder they dared to surround and attack the reinforcements. There are quite a lot of them."
"Be careful, the guy in the jade pot is an upper fifth."
Although it was the first time that Yin Zhu saw Lu Li, he had already heard about Lu Li's deeds. Combined with the report from the Crow, he knew that Ming Zhu had arrived.
He really wanted to thank the Sound Pillar for protecting his wife in the battle of Yoshiwara, and also wanted to thank the Sound Pillar for his support, but now was not the time to be polite. He had to use his limited physical strength to tell the enemy's intelligence as soon as possible. "The fish he summoned is poisonous, and his close combat strength is unknown. Don't make eye contact with the Lower Moon."
Lu Li used the power of Hui Dao to stop the bleeding of the Sound Pillar and nodded, "Don't worry."
Then he turned back to Tanjiro and said, "Tanjiro, please send the Sound Pillar and the others down the mountain."
"Brother, it's too much for you to do it alone!"
Shan Yi held on to his body and used Thunder Breathing to take a breath, wanting to fight together with Lu Li.
Lu Li kicked the sword of a Demon Slayer swordsman on the ground. The sword instantly shot out at high speed, piercing the neck of an explorer who wanted to sneak attack him and nailed him to the tree trunk.
At the same time, he unsheathed the Demon Prisoner in his hand, and with a flash of lightning, he chopped the strange fish that pounced on him in half with one blow.
In the bloody curtain that broke the sky, Lu Li gently pushed the sound column and pushed him towards Zenitsu behind him, "I will take over the battlefield, you will only get in the way."
"Oh my, even though I've eaten a lot of pillars and I don't care about whether they live or die, that guy has a good face. I wanted to make him into a living art, so I can't let him go."
Yu Hu's body stretched out in the pot, its eyes staring at Lu Li, and the little hand beside its face pointed to the direction where the Sound Pillar, Tanjiro and the others were.
Suddenly, two goldfish appeared from the pot with water grass pattern beside him. The two goldfish quickly sprayed out several poisonous needles from their mouths, covering the people in Yinzhu.
Blood Demon Jutsu. Thousand Needle Fish Kill!
Tanjiro and his companions felt their scalps tingling when they saw this. Not to mention that they didn't have much strength left, even if they were in full condition, they couldn't take on the attack of the Upper Moon.
However, these flying needles failed to land on the few people because Lu Li made a move.
I saw the lightning rolling up like a waterfall, blocking the flying needles like a barrier and dispersing them.
Breathing of Thunder·Type 7. Thunder Waterfall!
Shanyi was completely stunned when he saw Lu Li's move, because this was a move he had never seen before. There were only six types of Thunder Breathing that their grandfather taught them. Could it be that Senior Brother Lu had figured out a new move in just a few days?
After Lu Li blocked the flying needle, he jumped along the lightning and slashed at Yu Hu's neck with a knife.
As Lu Li approached, Yu Hu finally felt the fierce murderous aura. Every cell in his body was warning him that the threat of death had arrived.
