The deeper you go, the more eerily quiet the dark forest becomes.
"Kanae, don't you think..."
"There's an ambush, right?"
"Butterfly Kanae"'s calmness surprised Luo Jie. It was obvious that she didn't know what was waiting for her ahead, but her belief in killing ghosts drove her to not stop even though she knew it was a trap.
Luo Jie sighed and completely gave up his plan to persuade her to withdraw temporarily.
Since the other party is going crazy, then you should go crazy with her once. It should be regarded as a difficult task set by the system to interfere with his derived exclusive breathing method.
I don’t know if this pot system is willing to memorize it...
"coming."
As "Butterfly Kanae" whispered, dense red dots continued to light up in the dark forest...
Those are eyes.
The blood-red eyes unique to ghosts.
"Thousands of ghosts can gather in such a place. "Oniitsuji Muzan" is really generous this time..."
Although "Butterfly Kanae" spoke in a relaxed tone, she was horrified in her heart. Even as a "Pillar", she had never seen such a large formation.
This is obviously no longer an ordinary trap, but a dead end specially set up to ambush the "Pillar".
The only good thing is that the other party obviously didn't expect that there would be a temporary "Pillar" level newcomer on her side, and all the configurations were set up to encircle and kill a single "Pillar".
This information asymmetry is also her only key to breaking the situation right now.
Thinking of this, "Butterfly Kanae" turned her head and whispered: "Night Dire-kun, hide behind me later and try to act like a newcomer who has never been on the battlefield. Don't expose your true strength unless absolutely necessary.
"
Luo Jie immediately understood the intention of "Butterfly Kanae" and nodded. His face instantly changed to a fearful and uneasy expression. He grabbed the handle of the Nichirin Sword and looked fearfully into the surrounding darkness.
.
"Hey, a woman is taking a rookie who has never been on the battlefield..."
"Don't look at that woman, she is the pillar of the Demon Slayer Squad..."
"What about Zhu? There are so many ghosts among us. As long as we protect our necks, she will be exhausted even if she is tired..."
"Do you still remember what Lord Kibutsuji promised? Whoever can kill a pillar will be given his blood and promoted to a candidate for the Twelve Demon Moon..."
"Kill her! Kill her!"
When the whispers gathered into a torrent, the dense red dots began to stir, and countless ferocious-looking ghosts rushed out of the darkness of the woods, like a raging torrent, and the ground beneath their feet trembled.
"Night Dire Lord, take care of yourself."
The soft words are still lingering in the ears, and the colorful butterfly feathers are already fighting against the frenzy of ghosts.
"Flower Breath Three Type Mikage Plum"!
Four pink sword energy bloomed quietly in front of "Butterfly Kanae" like plum blossoms on a winter night. Under the splash of blood, the tide of ghosts seemed to have hit a solid rock, and a gap suddenly opened in the center.
"Flower Breath Wu Type Fruitless Peony"!
The chaotic sword energy suddenly exploded in the center of the battlefield, spreading and rotating in all directions like huge peony flowers. Wherever the sword energy passed, all ghosts and vegetation were broken.
Dark red blood and pure white snow rolled up into the sky together, mixing into countless pale pink ice crystals, which were flying in the mountain wind stirred by the sword energy, like gorgeous flower petals.
So strong!
Luo Jie had fought against "Hainataaki Sakonji" and former Thunder Pillar before, but the opponents were already old and frail after all, and it was difficult for them to exert the full power of the breathing technique.
The terrifying lethality unleashed by "Butterfly Kanae" at this moment finally gave him a clear understanding of the true combat power of "Pillar".
In addition to physical strength and wrist strength, "Butterfly Kanae" is not weaker than him at this moment in other aspects, and even surpasses him by a large margin in terms of flexibility of movement.
However, the opponent is just a medical "Hashira" of the Demon Slayer Squad, and fighting is not her job at all.
"Are all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps monsters..."
While Luo Jie secretly observed the battle of "Butterfly Kanae", he pretended to be clumsy and dodged the attacks of some fish that slipped through the net, and occasionally cut off the heads of several ghosts.
The completely transparent Nichirin Sword gave him excellent cover at this moment. In the dim light, no ghost could notice that he still held a hilt in his hand. Many ghosts even separated their heads without knowing what happened.
, wailing in fear and being burned to ashes bit by bit by the power of the sun from the Sun Blade.
The most terrifying thing about ghosts is not their frightening power, but their difficult self-healing ability.
Even if it is the Nichirin Sword that contains the power of the sun, if it cannot accurately decapitate the ghost with one sword, the ghost will recover quickly regardless of the severity of the injury.
"Butterfly Kanae" is the main force that single-handedly blocked the tide of ghosts. The huge number of ghosts made it impossible for her to behead each ghost accurately as before. She could only use her full breathing method to continuously use area-of-effect sword skills.
It seems that the ghosts in front of you are falling one by one like wheat, but in fact they have only temporarily lost their combat effectiveness. The real death rate may not be as high as Luo Jie's fishing in the rear.
"Hasn't the real owner shown up yet?"
"Butterfly Kanae" frowned secretly. She didn't believe that "Kimai Tsuji Muzan" would only send such a group of cannon fodder-like miscellaneous ghosts to ambush a "Hashira". The absolute power gap between the two parties meant that "Hashira" would not be killed even if he was killed.
With so many miscellaneous ghosts, they could easily find their way out and escape.
Therefore, there must be a powerful high-level ghost behind these miscellaneous ghosts, and that is the real trump card.
"What a bunch of losers. It doesn't matter if they can't take down a single pillar. It's been so long that you can't even take down a new member of the Demon Slayer Squad. What use do you have, Kibutsuji-sama?"
A young boy's voice sounded like a naughty boy, full of teasing and contempt, faintly heard in the dark forest.
In an instant, the temperature in the mountain forest dropped sharply, and the tree trunks and branches began to be covered with a light layer of white frost.
Whoosh!
Dozens of large ice lotuses flew out of the darkness in the forest, and the flowers were surrounded by dense mist. Hundreds of ghosts passed by could not even escape, and they all froze into ice sculptures with various strange postures.
"Ah! Tong... Lord Tongmo, spare your life!"
The other miscellaneous ghosts ran away in fear, fearing that they would be sucked into the terrifying frozen air and ice lotus, and be scattered in the blink of an eye.
"Forget it, just run away. Anyway, staying here will be in the way."
A young man as handsome as a woman walked calmly out of the depths of the woods through the snow. A golden iron fan with lotus patterns covered the lower half of his face, revealing only a pair of middle-aged female protagonists.
There will be seven-color rainbow eyes.
"Two-stringed Tongmo?!"
Seeing this young man with rainbow eyes holding a pair of fans, "Butterfly Kanae"'s face changed drastically, and her heart seemed to have stirred up a huge wave. Her indomitable momentum suddenly stagnated, and she subconsciously took half a step back.
