Li Mo grasped the key information.
Three years.
It was indeed a long time. I had only been in Demon Slayer World for three years.
Li Mo moved his fingers along the cracks on the counter and fell into thought.
How many three years can we have in our life?
Maybe in the future I will sneer at the number of three years, as an immortal species, I think this number is just a nap. But until now, Li Mo is not even thirty years old.
"How many "pillars" are there in the team now?"
Li Mo spoke.
Only the pillars can be effective in the face of the fighting power of the Twelve Kizuki. The other team members are just blood bags who are going to die. Li Mo has not forgotten that in the last stand against Muzan in the comics, Miss Tamayo's poison made Muzan Muzan fall into a state of immobility, and then a group of ordinary swordsmen went up and became the opponent's food.
He knocked on the table. There shouldn't be many pillars in the team right now. When he left, there was already a lack of successors. The only one left from the old generation was the Flame Pillar Rengoku Shinjuro, and the only one left from the new generation was the Rock Pillar Gyoumei Hiramashi.
The members of the Demon Slayer Corps start fighting when they are in their teens, and even if they are lucky enough not to die in every battle, their physical functions will begin to decline in their twenties. It is actually rare for someone like Rengoku Shinjuro to still be active on the front line when he is nearly thirty years old.
Every battle is a life-threatening job...
"Seven."
"Hmm? A few people."
"Rock Pillar, Lord Gyoumei of Sadness Island. He is an old friend of Lord Sun Pillar, right?"
Li Mo nodded: "I guess so. I relied on Beimingyu's recommendation letter to become his disciple."
The boss continued, "Then, it's the Sound Pillar, Master Uzui Tengen."
"That ninja who comes with his own wife, I have an influence on him. When I was chatting with Yin's people, they were jealous and envious." Li Mo said.
"Liuzhu, Master Zhenji."
"and many more!"
Li Mo raised his hand to stop the boss from speaking further.
Isn't this name a bit strange? Did Zhengu create his own breathing method based on the water breathing method in these three years? But I remember that my senior sister should have mastered the water breathing method very well?
After a pause, he put down his hand, which seemed to be a signal that he needed a reasonable explanation.
"Flow Breathing, the breathing method that Makoto-sama created over the past three years by relying on the breathing of water. You should understand this better, sir. I remember that Makoto-sama is your senior sister, and you both came out of the same selection."
"Next!" Li Mo said.
Could he say he didn't know? After becoming a pillar, he rarely discussed study matters with Senior Sister Zhengumo.
"Qianzhu, Lord Qiantu."
"Why, did that fellow Shantu also create a breathing method?"
"No, Master Santobu is still using Water Breathing."
"Then why? Never mind, just continue talking." Li Mo said.
He probably knew why the rabbit was not called water column.
"Water Pillar, Tomioka Giyuu."
As expected... two water-breathing pillars appeared in this era? The lord must be very happy. It seems that the two became pillars at a very close time. Did Santo give the name of the water pillar to Tomioka Giyuu and use his own name as a code name?
He fell silent. If you think about it carefully, Mr. Urokodaki has taught four pillars at once. What level is he among trainers?
"anything else?"
"The Flower Pillar, the Butterfly Kanae. The Wind Pillar, the Fushigawa Miya. Both of them are related to you, sir."
"I'm familiar with Kanae-san. But I've never heard of Nishikawa-san."
This is a lie, Li Mo, who has read the comics, knows him. However, as a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, he has no pretense with the other party.
"Master Busukawa, his predecessor and companion was called Masachika Kenno. In the battle with the Twelve Kizuki, Masachika Kenno died, and Master Busukawa became a pillar."
Ye Kuangjin, a familiar name.
Li Mo paused and said, "Is that so..."
Another familiar person died.
Chapter 221 News
Teammates' death in battle. This is very common in the Demon Slayer Corps. The teammate you met last time may have turned into a corpse or no body remains the next time.
The last time I was in this world, I witnessed the replacement of many Demon Slayer swordsmen.
I've seen a lot of things like this.
"My Lord, your pork bone noodles."
“So much barbecued pork?”
"You are the last guest, sir. Do not keep these barbecued pork overnight."
"Purgatory family...how is the situation?"
Li Mo held the chopsticks, looked at the bowl of hot ramen in front of him and asked.
The boss knows Rengoku Shinjuro.
Given the situation when I left, Senior Shinjuro could no longer be active on the front line. The other party's injuries were not minor.
"Master Purgatory, he is now a trainer. But the swordsmen who have trained under him in recent years have said that he has always been in a low mood. I'm afraid that he will get better after you appear in front of him, sir?"
The boss's words entered Li Mo's ears.
He knew what the other party meant.
The low pressure of Rengoku Shinjuro was because of me. If I didn't arrive in time, he would die in battle.
He stirred the ramen with chopsticks and took a bite. It was still the familiar taste, and the tip of his tongue was awakened to the memory of this taste. In Tokyo in the 21st century, he also lingered in various ramen restaurants, but could not find the same taste.
"Where are the two children of the Purgatory family?"
"Kyojuro has become a swordsman. He is a passionate child, a true son of the Purgatory family. Chijuro, on the other hand, does not have the physical fitness to become a swordsman."
The owner of the ramen shop, he has a close relationship with Rengoku Shinjuro and therefore knows the private affairs of the Rengoku family.
Li Mo couldn't help but smile when he thought of the two children he had met several times.
"Sister Ruhuo, how is Rengoku Ruhuo?"
"With the help of some unknown doctor, his condition has stabilized and he is no longer in danger of death. But his health is not as good as before."
"That would be great."
If Li Mo remembered correctly, Sister Ruhuo should have passed away in recent years, so Senior Shinjuro was unable to fall and was in a daze all day long.
He wouldn't fall to that level now, would he?
Li Mo couldn't say anything until he saw the senior in person.
Soon, the bowl was empty, the ramen and char siu were all gone, even the soup was finished.
Normally, he wouldn't finish the soup after eating noodles.
Li Mo asked: "You are really patient. Don't you have anything to ask? For example, where have I been in the past three years?"
"I do have questions, but that's not the question. What I want to know is, how strong are you now, my Lord?"
The boss is in his thirties, but judging from his appearance, he looks like an old man in his forties or fifties.
More than ten years have passed since I became a swordsman.
He was about to forget the reason why he became a swordsman. In fact, the reason why the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps became swordsmen was nothing more than those reasons, relatives were killed, lovers were killed...
He experienced death before becoming a swordsman, and he had to experience death again after becoming a swordsman. He could still be a craftsman here safely, but many people had already been buried deep underground. They couldn't even rest in peace.
got used to.
The boss looked at the man who had been missing for three years. Six years ago, he fought to the death and was able to kill demons without breathing techniques and the Sun Blade. Three years ago, he was able to fight to the death with the Upper String Three.
So, what about him now?
Is he now stronger than before, or is he becoming less powerful than before?
"Is this important?"
"Very important."
"column"
The strongest force of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Since when, a saying has been circulating within the Demon Slayer Corps: "This generation of pillars is the strongest since the first generation."
The well-informed boss admitted this statement.
He knew another story.
The genius who died prematurely.
"Sun pillar"
A swordsman named after the sun.
"Much stronger than before—much stronger!"
Li Mo said seriously.
Compared to the self who left this world, he has become stronger in all aspects. At that time, he was still ordinary, but now he has entered the extraordinary. Is Muzan Kibutsuji really strong? Not necessarily, he just relies on his talent and physical fitness to crush the opponent.
If they had the same physical fitness, Muzan Kibutsuji would probably not be a match for Kokushibo. This is the difference in combat awareness.
"That's good."
"Suddenly the topic has become serious. Even though this is such a relaxed environment, boss, I've never seen you look so serious. I remember you weren't this serious when a ghost appeared near your store before."
"Life is hard enough, why take it so seriously?"
Li Mo nodded, agreeing with this statement.
There are so many unhappy things in life, so don’t put more pressure on yourself in your daily life.
