Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

Once again, a group of demons was slain and turned to ash.

At this moment, all the demons began to fear. The mocking expressions on their faces were gone, replaced with panic and unease.

"This person is too powerful..."

"We should run! He might be one of the Hashira from the Demon Slayer Corps..."

"Why be afraid? Don't forget, we have a powerful demon on our side..."

Some demons had already begun to entertain the idea of fleeing, while others remained defiant, their faces filled with disdain.

"We... we are saved..."

Feng Yu stood firm in front of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. None of the demons dared approach him, merely glaring at him with menacing expressions.

"M-Master... are you the Light Pillar, Feng Yu?"

The leader of the A-Class members focused his gaze, seeing Feng Yu's back grow larger and more imposing in his eyes.

"Yes, sorry I'm late."

Feng Yu replied indifferently.

"We are finally saved... The Light Pillar has come to save us... Did you all see that?"

The A-Class member, with tears streaming down his face, spoke to the rest of his team.

However, no one responded.

They stood frozen, like soulless beings, transformed into walking corpses.

Feng Yu understood their situation. He suspected their minds had been shattered, and some of the demons might be using Blood Demon Arts to control their spirits.

At this moment, Feng Yu was also searching for the demon using the Blood Demon Art, but after scanning the area, he still couldn't figure out which one it was.

The reason for his uncertainty was that there were still many demons around. Although dozens had been slain, some wielded Blood Demon Arts, while others were just ordinary demons.

But most of the demons here were ordinary. Those with Blood Demon Arts were stronger and more sensitive.

Moreover, demons were not only here; others, hidden across the mountain, were also gathering in response to the disturbance.

The reason why the A-Class member could regain his clarity so quickly might be because of his stronger mental power compared to the others.

Feng Yu was thinking about his next move. In front of him were demons with murderous intent, and behind him, the Demon Slayer Corps members lacked any combat ability.

"I need to find the demon controlling their minds and kill it first..."

"Only then will the pressure on me be relieved..."

Feng Yu wasn't afraid of the demons by himself, but he was worried that if he kept moving in and out of the demon crowd, those defenseless members would be killed.

If that happened, his mission would be meaningless.

"I'm sure you all saw my strength. The demon controlling their minds—I'd advise you to stop using your Blood Demon Art. Otherwise, prepare to be slain by my Sword."

Feng Yu said with a smile.

He then vanished, dashing back into the demon horde. After slaying a few more demons, he returned.

When he came back, he was holding a demon's head in his hand.

The demons were horrified.

Feng Yu extended his spiritual sense, enveloping the group of demons. He was looking for the demon he had called out, watching closely to see if it would show any sign of panic.

If it did, that demon would definitely give itself away.

The demon who was controlling their minds would likely show confusion or try to escape.

Feng Yu kept his focus on all the demons, particularly those with Blood Demon Arts or the ones trying to hide or flee.

"There's no anomaly..."

Feng Yu scanned the area, but he couldn't sense anything unusual.

"He's just one person. Let's all attack him together. Even if he's one of the Hashira, so what? We kill him, and then we feast on him!"

The Mantis Demon greedily looked at Feng Yu and said.

"Right, right, right!"

"Let's all attack and kill this demon slayer!"

"Attack!"

...

All the demons were shouting to kill Feng Yu, but none dared step forward to be the first.

"Dammit, that bastard said he would go in first. Why isn't he doing it now?"

"Exactly, trying to trick us into charging to our deaths!"

"I think it was that Mantis bastard!"

The demons began to quarrel, accusing the Mantis Demon, who had originally led the charge.

"Dammit, why don't you go?!"

The Mantis Demon angrily shouted.

Originally, he wanted the demons around him to charge and exhaust Feng Yu, but he didn't expect the demons to be so cowardly, only shouting loudly but never taking action.

"You were the first to speak! You go, and then we'll follow!"

...

Feng Yu looked at the bickering demons with a sigh.

He had been wondering whether these demons would really charge at him. He had been concerned about whether he could protect the members behind him.

But now, it seemed that these demons couldn't even agree on a strategy. They all shouted the loudest, yet they were the most afraid to act.

The regular demons were more courageous than them.

At this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky.

All the demons trembled as they felt the oppressive pressure.

"Bang!"

A figure fell from the sky, landing with such force that it created a deep crater, and dust scattered, revealing the figure within.

"Pink short hair, covered in deep blue tattoos... this is Upper Rank Three, Akaza!"

Feng Yu was shocked. He hadn't expected to encounter Akaza here. It was clear that Tiancheng Mountain was a trap set for the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Then, two more terrifying auras appeared.

Feng Yu could read the words in their eyes and realized they were two Lower Rank demons from the Twelve Kizuki.

"Demons I haven't seen before... Could it be because of me that Muzan has resurrected two more Lower Rank demons?"

"Lower Rank Five and Lower Rank Six..."

Feng Yu's expression turned grim as he observed Akaza. If it were a one-on-one fight, he might not fear Akaza, but now the area was surrounded by demons, including two Lower Rank demons whose Blood Demon Arts were unknown, as well as those with Blood Demon Arts.

This was a demon's nest, a trap.

Here, only Feng Yu and Xiao Hei had the strength to fight, along with the injured A-Class member.

"It seems we've been ambushed..."

A strong sense of crisis filled the air.

Right now, Feng Yu only wished that Shinobu Kochou would hurry and arrive to help relieve the pressure.

"Are you one of the Hashira?"

Akaza looked at Feng Yu and grinned.

"You guys are impressive, setting up so many demons to ambush me..."

"It seems the Lower Rank demons I casually killed last time really gave you a lot of pressure..."

Feng Yu, not willing to back down, grinned back.

"Let's not talk about those useless demons. I can tell you're strong. You must be the one I've been waiting for, the Hashira."

"Then come, and let's have our duel!"

Akaza punched the air behind him, sending all the demons flying 10 meters away, including the two Lower Rank demons.

Once this was done, Akaza turned to look at the members of the Demon Slayer Corps behind Feng Yu and threw another punch forward.

A visible, terrifying shockwave shot from his fist toward Feng Yu. Feng Yu frowned.

He quickly swung his Onikiri Sword.

"Total Concentration Breathing: Water Breathing, First Form—Water Surface Slash!"

The sharp Sword easily cleaved the shockwave in two, but the resulting halves of the shockwave hit the ground behind Feng Yu, causing two craters with overwhelming destructive force.

"What are you doing?"

Feng Yu growled angrily. Akaza was trying to harm the defenseless members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"They're in the way. I'm just clearing out the stage."

Akaza said indifferently.

"Fine. You've earned my approval. Now, let's play a little longer!"

Akaza cracked his neck, stretched his muscles, and then looked at Feng Yu with intense determination.
