Demon Slayer: The Great Swordsman's System, Disciple of Yoriichi

The one attacking Si Shu was the Corpse Demon, the same one who had escaped with the Tentacle Demon. At this moment, both his hands had transformed into sickle-like bone blades. His face was savage and terrifying, eager to slice off Si Shu's head. The timing of his appearance was nothing short of perfect. In front of Si Shu was the leaping Meat Mountain Demon, while he himself sealed off the air above. No matter which direction Si Shu tried to dodge, he would be attacked.

This guy is dead meat. The Corpse Demon had already declared Si Shu's death sentence in his mind, his expression growing excited. The memory of Si Shu's last attack was terrifying; the wound it left still ached.

Faced with the pincer attack from the two demons, Si Shu showed no signs of panic. He leaped, then took several steps on the walls of the surrounding houses. Using the recoil, his body spun in mid-air. He intended to pass horizontally through the gap between the two demons!

Sensing Si Shu's intention, a mocking smile appeared on the Meat Mountain Demon's face. He knew that the Corpse Demon could transform not only his hands but also his feet into blades. The moment that human passed through, he would likely be sliced in two. The image of a desperate and shocked expression on Si Shu's face flashed through his mind, and his savage grin widened.

CRASH!

He smashed headfirst into another building, then walked out unharmed. At this moment, a round object was rolling on the ground.

"Hahaha, that little brat is really dead!" The Meat Mountain Demon threw his head back and laughed, his roar shaking the nearby houses. Just as he was planning whether to eat Si Shu's corpse first or the other humans, a voice called out.

"If the 'little brat' you're talking about is me, then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

!

Following the voice, the Meat Mountain Demon was shocked to see Si Shu standing on the roof of a two-story building. Not only was his body not severed, but there wasn't even a scratch on him. And directly below him, the headless body of the Corpse Demon was slowly dissipating.

His large, bell-like eyes widened, filled with bloodshot veins. The Meat Mountain Demon didn't know, nor could he understand, how Si Shu had passed through unscathed. Not only that, he had also killed the Corpse Demon.

"Your sword... there's something strange about it..." the Corpse Demon's head on the ground managed to say before disintegrating into black dust.

"Sun Breathing, Eighth Form: Blazing Sun Dervish!"

That was the move Si Shu had just used to kill the Corpse Demon. The characteristic of this form was that it could make the tip of the blade flicker like a flame, creating the illusion of a shorter blade. It was precisely this illusion that caused the Corpse Demon to misjudge, his head being severed before his attack could even reach Si Shu.

Seeing that the Corpse Demon was also dead, the Meat Mountain Demon couldn't help but take a few steps back. After becoming a demon, he had once thought that, aside from that man, he was invincible. It was in his pursuit of greater power that he had suppressed this group of demons with brute force to be his underlings.

But today, Si Shu had appeared. Not only had he ruined his plans, but he and another person had utterly annihilated his subordinates. The thought of it made his anger uncontrollable. His already massive body swelled rapidly, finally expanding to over five meters tall. His limbs retracted, his head twisted, and his entire body transformed into a giant, rolling ball.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" he roared, launching his final attack. Bouncing hard off the ground, he turned his body into a cannonball and shot towards Si Shu. If this attack landed, its power would be enough to smash him into a meat paste. Of course, that was前提是it hit.

Taking a deep breath, Si Shu met the demon's final attack with his own. In less than a second, two slashes of fire appeared in the air. A horizontal slash, and a vertical slash. The two fiery attacks crossed, forming a crucifix of light that passed through the Meat Mountain Demon's body.

Si Shu gently tapped his Nichirin Blade on the ground, and the dark tissues clinging to it fell away. As he sheathed his sword, the Meat Mountain Demon's body finally crashed to the ground. In an instant, the five-meter body split apart, falling into four pieces.

"Sun Breathing, Twelfth Form: Flame Dance."

A look of utter shock was frozen on the Meat Mountain Demon's face; he hadn't even registered what had just happened. "Impossib—" Before he could finish, an indescribable pain came from his face. The next second, his world went dark.

Looking back at the Meat Mountain Demon, whose head was also in four pieces, Si Shu knew this mission could finally be considered over.

[Progress: 100/100]

[Quest Complete: Traveled to Yushui town and eliminated one hundred demons.]

[Integrating with the Host's own abilities, Master-Level Breathing Method / Master-Level Swordsmanship has been promoted to (950,000 / 1,000,000).]

[Integrating with the Host's own abilities, all other Specialist-Level skills have been promoted to (90,000 / 100,000).]

[Congratulations to the Host for acquiring the skill: Novice-Level Mental Defense.]

[Congratulations to the Host for partially unlocking the Transparent World (1/3).]

The Transparent World is one of the rewards! A look of ecstasy spread across Si Shu's face. He now felt that his decision to accept this mission was the most correct one he had ever made. To become a top-tier powerhouse in this world, the Transparent World was an essential element. Although he had only unlocked a third of it, he believed similar rewards would appear in future quests.

The demons in town are all gone. I should regroup with Master.

Just then, a human voice came from behind him. "Are... are all the demons dead?"

Turning around, he saw a refined-looking middle-aged man holding his child.

"Yes, they're all dead."

Suddenly, the little boy, who was only three or four years old, asked, "Big brother, what's your name?"

"Me?" Si Shu pointed to himself, a thoughtful expression on his face. He certainly couldn't give his real name, but he couldn't think of a good one on the spot. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the Nichirin Blade in his hand.

"You can call me... Zhan Gui."

With a small smile, Si Shu left. The child continued to murmur the name "Zhan Gui" over and over.

Leaving the battlefield, Si Shu soon successfully regrouped with Yoriichi. "Master, all the demons in the town have been eliminated."

Yoriichi nodded. "In that case, let's go."

"Back to the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"No. I have a friend nearby. I plan to pay him a visit."

Without much thought, Si Shu quietly followed behind Yoriichi. For Yoriichi to call someone a friend, he could already guess the person's identity.

After Si Shu and Yoriichi left, the town of Yushui received another visitor. She was a woman of exquisite beauty, with long black hair parted in the middle and gathered into a large, low bun, fastened with a flower hairpin. A faint sadness hung on her face, and her brows were furrowed with worry.

If Si Shu had left just a little later, he would have exclaimed in shock upon seeing her.

"Lady Tamayo!"
