Bingye curled her lips into a smile, licking her blood-stained lips slightly, revealing the sharp teeth that were faintly visible inside.
Struggle.
The more you struggle, the better.
Let him bleed until the last drop of blood is drained, and then become his appetizer.
A twisted smile appeared on Bingye's face. He took a step and reappeared in front of the swordsman.
With a slight extension of its claws, the movement was so slow that even an injured swordsman could react in time.
"clang!"
The swordsman parried the attack with his sword, easily blocking it, but this was far from the end.
The diseased leaf's next attack came, and the swordsman could only continue to parry, hoping for a sliver of hope!
"Clang clang clang clang...!"
The speed of the attacks from the diseased leaf increased, and the swordsman's parrying became increasingly unable to keep up with the pace, resulting in more and more bloody wounds appearing on his body!
The swordsman knew that the sick leaf was toying with him, but he had no choice in order to survive!
Soon, the swordsman, completely unable to keep up with the pace, was left wide open, and the sick leaf's sharp claws suddenly shot out. If it hit the target, it could instantly extract the swordsman's heart!
"It's over..."
These were the last words the swordsman could think of before he lost consciousness...
"brush!!"
But just as he was exhausted, a figure suddenly burst out of the forest like a fiery lion.
With a single swing of the blade, it cleaved off the diseased leaf's outstretched claw!
"Um!"
The pain in her wrist did not change Bingye's expression in the slightest.
He merely frowned, and in a flash, he retreated, immediately putting distance between himself and the newcomer.
The person who could easily sever his wrist must be no ordinary person.
The reinforcements are the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Gather the wounded; I'll deal with this Lower Moon demon!"
Holding his Nichirin Blade, Rengoku Makijuro looked at Byakuya not far away and gave an order.
As soon as the order was given, one after another, Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen rushed out of the dense forest.
Most of the team members drew their swords and stood guard, while a few quickly carried the three fallen swordsmen away to treat them.
This place will soon become the battlefield between the Lower Moon Demons and the Pillars. If treatment is given here, neither the patient nor the doctor would want to live!
"Finally, some interesting characters have arrived..."
Bingye smiled and spoke, showing absolutely no sense of crisis in the face of Zhu.
To be honest, the strength of most Pillars surpasses that of the Lower Moon Demons.
These Lower Moon demons, in the end, are in a rather awkward position.
Although the blood obtained from Kibutsuji Muzan was more than that from ordinary demons, it wasn't by much.
Compared to the Upper Moon demons, they're not even in the same league; they're stuck in that in-between position.
Their strength is so-so, but they all rely on their Lower Moon demon status, and most of them are quite arrogant, making it hard to judge them...
"He's my opponent, and I'll be the one to deal with him!"
Just then, a figure wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a black cloak suddenly emerged from the woods on the other side.
He gently stroked the brim of his hat, revealing his blood-red, dark pupils in the darkness.
Those blood-red eyes, looking at Rengoku Makijuro, were filled with hatred.
Its name is Pedro, the second of the Lower Moons.
He once fought against Rengoku Makijuro, but was defeated and fled at the last moment. He has always wanted to take revenge on Rengoku Makijuro.
Now, he believes he has finally found his opportunity.
"Ah, so this is the Pillar that made you flee without a fight? He doesn't seem like much of a threat."
Bingye curled his lips into a smile, as if he was thinking of something happy.
The relationships between evil spirits are far from harmonious; given the opportunity to kick someone when they're down, they won't hold back.
"Shut up! Do your own thing!"
With a roar, Pei Lang charged forward!
"Rengoku Makijuro, I've come to seek my revenge!"
Meanwhile, Rengoku Makijuro held his sword, his face full of confusion.
revenge?
What do you mean by that?
This carefree guy didn't even remember who Pero was...
But since they're here, let's just kill them!
"Bang!"
Rengoku Makijuro instantly engaged in battle with Pero, and the scene was immediately filled with the flashing of swords.
However, it is clear that Rengoku Makijuro's swordsmanship is far superior to that of Pero.
It was supposed to be revenge, but at this point, Pero was completely overwhelmed by Rengoku Shinjuro. If there were no outside help, it would only be a matter of time before Rengoku Shinjuro killed Pero.
At this moment, a serious look flashed in the eyes of the sick leaf beside him. It could see that Pegasus was no match for Rengoku Makijuro, and it immediately prepared to step forward to help.
After all, if the Ghost King's plan is ruined, everyone will be doomed!
"Oh dear, Mr. Ghost, we can't let you ruin the battle on the other side."
Just then, Shinobu's soft laughter rang out, and Byakuya immediately became alert.
The next moment, a blade of light slashed out from his side, aiming straight for Bingye's vital side ribs!
"!!!"
Startled by the sudden attack, Bingye immediately tried to dodge.
However, the attacker was too fast and launched a sneak attack. Caught off guard, Bingye's abdomen was cleaved open by the sharp blade!
"You actually launched a sneak attack! Don't you Demon Slayer Corps members have any sense of responsibility as swordsmen?!"
Bingye covered his already ripped-open stomach and retreated rapidly, his bloody internal organs even faintly visible inside.
"Huh? Is Mr. Demon questioning my moral principles as a swordsman?"
Shinobu landed gracefully on the spot, casually flicking the blood off her blade. Although she was still smiling on her pretty face, anyone could hear the malice in her tone.
"Do we need to talk about morality when dealing with you evil spirits?"
At this time, after more than a month of training by Ji Hao, Shinobu Kocho had learned a lot of techniques for slaying demons under Ji Hao's guidance.
Ji Hao wasn't quite sure how other swordsmen fared in their battles.
However, when Ji Hao's master taught him, he didn't just teach him how to fight head-on.
If you ask Ji Hao what extra things his master taught him, he will only tell you with a helpless look.
I don't think anyone said you can't scoop up sand.
A sneak attack?
Those are the gentlest methods, okay?
"Shameless!"
Bingye, in a fit of anger, also jumped up and down, cursing loudly.
"Oh dear, how can you swear? You need to have some manners, Mr. Demon."
Shinobu Kocho was speaking as she climbed up to him.
Before the wounds on the diseased leaves have healed, strike while the iron is hot and kill it!
If it can't be healed, then you'll have to fight it with your guts hanging out!
"Damn it, it's not healed yet!"
Sakae cursed inwardly, but had no choice but to release her hand from her wound and begin to focus all her energy on dealing with Shinobu's attacks.
As for whether its intestines will fly all over the place during the battle, that's beyond its control right now!
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
But after several rounds of fighting, Bingye became more and more alarmed. How could this little girl, who looked so young, have such great strength!
And the speed at which he draws his sword is ridiculously fast!
This little girl definitely has the strength of a Pillar!
"laugh!"
As blood splattered, the newly grown hand of the diseased leaf was once again sliced off with a knife.
Even the diseased leaves that couldn't withstand the pressure retreated, and they still deserved to roar loudly.
"If you don't make a move, we're both going to be finished!!!"
