Chapter 24 The Lower 5: Tired of Seeking Death! (4/4 Please Collect!)
In less than a minute, Saigo Yu, who was rushing at full speed, had already seen the figures of Tanjiro Kamado and his sister and the Lower String 5, but the scene that came into his eyes made him tear up——
The handle of the Nichirin Sword in Tanjiro Kamado’s hand was almost the only thing left, and Nezuko was tied to the air several meters above Tanjiro’s head by many spider silks. The silk threads cut her skin, causing Nezuko’s blood to drip down along the spider silks.
Tanjiro Kamado and his sister and Rui (Lower String 5) who were present all noticed the arrival of Saigo Yu, the uninvited guest, but the reactions of one person and two ghosts were very different.
“Brother Yu!” Tanjiro Kamado looked at him, his tone full of surprise and excitement, as if he had seen a savior.
“Woo woo woo~~~~”
With the bamboo tube in her mouth, Nezuko couldn’t speak and could only make woo woo woo sounds. However, judging from her expression, she was obviously very happy about Xixiang Yu’s arrival, and she even ignored the pain in her body.
“What if another trash comes?” As a Lower 5, Rui is very confident in his own thread. Even after seeing Saigo Yu, he did not change his mind. He even looked at Saigo Yu with disdain and said sarcastically: “It’s just a pile of meat. Nothing can be changed. Savior? Dream about it.”
Although he was surprised by Saigo Yu’s arrival, Tanjiro Kamado still did not relax his vigilance against Rui. While maintaining vigilance, he reminded Saigo Yu:
“Brother Yu! Be careful of this guy’s thread! The hardness of the thread can even cut off my Nichirin Sword!”
Squeak~~
Pulling out the ice-blue snow-white sword that had just been sheathed for less than a minute, Saigo Yu walked forward slowly.
“Tanjiro, you step back, leave the rest to me.”
Although there was nothing unusual in his movements, anyone with eyes could see the obvious rage on his face, and the murderous intent that was so strong that it almost turned into substance.
For Tanjiro who did not use the “God of Fire Kagura Dance (Hi-call)”, Rui, who was at the Lower 5th level, was still an unmatched opponent for the time being, not to mention that Rui had not even used the red silk thread.
The reason why Tanjiro was still alive now was mostly due to Rui’s playful mentality and the fact that Tanjiro Kamado was Rui’s “sister” and former brother.
However, a mere Lower 5th level, no matter how hard and dense his thread was, his ranking of Lower 5th level had already explained everything.
Even Lower 2nd level died at the hands of Saigo Yu, so could Lei, who was at the Lower 5th level, still turn the world upside down?
“No! Brother Yu! This guy is very strong, at the level of the Twelve Demon Moons, at least let me…” Tanjiro Kamado seemed to want to say something.
“Tanjiro, retreat.”
Xiang Yu repeated calmly.
Perhaps hearing the impatience in Xiang Yu’s tone, Tanjiro Kamado was silent for two seconds, silentlyWalk away from the battlefield.
Moon Step!
Bang~Bang~Bang~
While Kamado Tanjiro was moving away, Saigo Yu stepped into the air and came to Nezuko, carefully cutting off the spider silk surrounding Nezuko.
Holding a knife in his right hand and holding the wounded Nezuko in his left hand, Saigo Yu and Rui on the opposite side confronted each other. Both of them were waiting for Kamado Tanjiro to move away, but the former was worried that Tanjiro would be injured by the tangled threads, while the latter wanted to give Tanjiro a chance to live.
“It’s a pity that you can cut my silk thread, the swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps.”
With no reaction to Tanjiro’s moving away, Rui looked at Nezuko and Saigo Yu who were close together, with a hint of anger in his tone.
“You are so powerful, why did you come to my house to die? Isn’t it better to be alive? Or do you think that was the limit of the strength of my silk thread? And…”
Rui raised his right hand, which was stained with a little scarlet, and pointed his index finger at Nezuko, who was covered with scars in Xixiang Yu’s arms, and his emotions suddenly became excited.
“What do you want to do to my sister? Don’t touch my family with your dirty hands!”
As soon as the voice fell, Lei’s left hand, which had completely turned bright red, suddenly swung forward.
Woo-woo-woo-woo–
Five spider silk threads that were redder than blood made a sharp sound of breaking through the air and swept towards Xixiang Yu and the others.
Crack-crack-crack…
Wherever the spider silk passed, it was a newly grown sapling or a huge tree that several people could hug. They all suffered the same fate, falling to the side without any warning. For a moment, the sound of branches being broken even covered the sound of the spider silk breaking through the air.
“Mmmmm…”
Seeing such a spectacular scene, Nezuko, who was lying in Xixiang Yu’s arms, couldn’t help but pull up the corner of Xixiang Yu’s clothes, with a little worry on her face.
Holding Nezuko in his left hand and holding Xuezou in his right hand, Xixiang Yu, who had no third hand, wanted to reach out and rub Nezuko’s head, but he was powerless.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a lower-string five, don’t be so nervous.”
Noticing the worry on Nezuko’s face, Xi Xiangyu raised his right hand lightly, and slid the snow walker on the spider silk in front of him twice, lowered his head and smiled gently at the confused Nezuko.
“Look, the lower-string five is very weak, right?”
Seeing Xi Xiangyu cut off his vermilion thread so easily, Lei was shocked.
‘Impossible! He can actually cut off my strongest thread? Could this guy be a pillar? Such a young pillar? ‘
Thinking that he had guessed Xi Xiangyu’s identity, Lei no longer dared to underestimate him. The vermilion mark on the back of his hand spread and spread to his neck in a blink of an eye.
After making these preparations, Lei looked at the man and the ghost who were still in love with each other, and suddenly a nameless anger rose in his heart, and he roared at Xi Xiangyu:
“Don’t be too proud! It’s just aJust a pillar, what can you do to me? Blood Demon Art: Kess Rotation! ”
“Your strength is not that great, but your voice is quite loud. “Looking at the helpless and barking Lei, Xi Xiangyu sneered, hugged Nezuko, and stepped heavily…
Endless red silk threads surrounded Lei’s body, leaving only a small gap of 30 cm in front of his chest. Silk threads dense enough to make people with intensive phobia suddenly appeared around “Xi Xiangyu” and the other person.
However——
Rui looked at the figure close at hand, and his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.
‘When??! You were clearly surrounded by my silk threads, why didn’t I notice it? Why?’
Watching the ice-blue blade getting closer and closer to his neck, Lei suddenly realized something: Am I going to die here?
Kou Dang…
