Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

The battle under Xiao Hei had reached a standstill; it was only a matter of who would take the first step to break the deadlock.

The demons feared the sun-flame beams shot by Xiao Hei, but they were also terrified of Feng Yu, who was in the sky, engaged in battle with Akaza.

The demons had become increasingly cautious at this point. No one wanted to be the first to charge ahead, especially considering the fate of the last one who had tried—turned to ash.

At this moment, a clear voice rang out from the sky.

"Moshi moshi!"

An elegant sound echoed as Shinobu Kochou, resembling a blue butterfly in her graceful flight, descended slowly in front of Xiao Hei.

With a gentle smile, Shinobu said, "Oh my, good evening, Mr. Demons!"

"Can we all just get along?"

Though she smiled sweetly, the Sword in her hand was already laced with poison.

"Finally, Shinobu Kochou..."

Feng Yu in the sky noticed Shinobu's arrival and felt his previously anxious heart finally settle.

He swung his Onikiri, and Akaza quickly retreated, smiling as he spoke, "Oh? So, you're finally willing to fight me seriously. Is it because of that woman's arrival?"

"She's quite the adorable girl. I'm guessing she's one of your Hashira, isn't she?"

Akaza's golden eyes briefly flicked towards Shinobu below, a look of approval on his face.

"Not bad. For a girl, you've got quite the guts. If only you were a demon..."

On the ground, Shinobu Kochou raised her head, feeling an unprecedented pressure.

"That demon... He's terrifying..."

Cold sweat appeared on Shinobu's forehead.

"Didn't expect him to be this strong..."

She bit her sexy lower lip and gripped her Sword tightly.

"Another woman? No one's taking her from me. She's mine!"

The Praying Mantis Demon openly expressed his greed for Shinobu, his eyes glinting.

"Then come at me, cowardly Mantis!"

The other demons nearby had long grown tired of the Praying Mantis Demon. He always shouted the loudest but never dared to act.

Such empty threats were beneath their notice, and they wouldn't even stoop to associating with him.

"Hmph!"

The Praying Mantis Demon snorted, then flew toward Shinobu to attack.

His sharp green scythe glowed with a faint dark green hue, clearly laced with poison. His speed was swift, and it seemed as though Shinobu would be struck.

However, Shinobu merely watched him silently, took a deep breath, and calmly said:

"Total Concentration: Insect Breathing: Butterfly Dance Trick!"

In the blink of an eye, Shinobu evaded the Praying Mantis Demon's attack and sheathed her Sword.

The Praying Mantis Demon widened his eyes in disbelief. He collapsed to the ground, five deep cuts appearing on his body, and purple fluid began leaking from his wounds.

Purple veins spread across his body.

The Praying Mantis Demon was dead.

With a single, effortless move, he was dead—unable to rise again.

"What happened?! Why isn't the Praying Mantis Demon moving?!"

The demons gasped in shock, staring at the motionless Praying Mantis Demon lying on the ground.

"That woman... She just walked past the Praying Mantis Demon... What happened?"

"It's poison! That woman used poison!"

One of the demons, with an extremely sensitive nose, grimaced as he spoke, "It's... wisteria poison."

The other demons became even more wary of Shinobu, none daring to underestimate the seemingly fragile woman standing far below.

Shinobu noticed the demons were hesitant to move forward, so she turned and approached the incapacitated members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

She gently lifted one of the members' eyelids, checked his condition, and took out a small vial of purple liquid from her clothing.

"Sir, just put this under their noses, and they'll wake up."

Shinobu handed the vial to a Rank A Demon Slayer.

"Yes, Insect Hashira."

The Rank A member trembled as he took the vial and proceeded to wake up each of the fallen demon slayers.

Soon, all of them were regaining consciousness.

"Is... is this... death?"

"Captain...?"

"Insect Hashira!"

The first to wake up shouted in confusion upon seeing Shinobu.

"Alright, everyone, pick up your weapons and let's fight back against the demons!"

...

In the sky, Feng Yu looked on as Shinobu took out the Praying Mantis Demon with a single strike, silently admiring her.

"Her speed has improved..."

"It seems with her here, I don't have to worry about them anymore!"

Feng Yu then turned his attention to Akaza, his Onikiri now emanating a crimson mist.

"Your Sword is unusual."

Akaza dropped his playful demeanor, now staring seriously at Feng Yu's sword.

He felt an ominous aura emanating from the Sword, a strange sense that it could kill him.

"Then, Akaza, let's fight!"

Feng Yu stretched his arm provocatively.

With that, he charged at Akaza.

"Total Concentration: Breath of Light: First Form, Moonlight Slash!"

A pale yellow light burst forth, and Akaza defended himself while also praising, "Such astonishing swordsmanship. And this is a different breathing style than before. Feng Yu, become a demon!"

Akaza once again invited Feng Yu to join him.

"I told you, I won't become a demon!"

"Total Concentration: Breath of Light: Second Form, Radiant World!"

Akaza was caught off guard as the blinding white light blinded his eyes, and he quickly raised both arms to protect his neck.

"Slash!"

Feng Yu's Onikiri collided with Akaza's arms, the strike narrowly missing.

"Such a pity, just a little more!"

"Bang!"

Akaza forcefully swung Feng Yu away, breaking free of his grip.

"Destruction Killing: Chaos Style!"

Akaza unleashed a series of violent strikes against Feng Yu.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sky was filled with deafening booms, signaling how intense the battle was.

Below, the battle raged on, with Shinobu and Xiao Hei re-energizing the morale of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The two Lower Rank demons were now tasked with Shinobu's attention, and the rest were handled by Xiao Hei and the other members.

The division of labor was clear, and each person faced off against their own opponent.

Thanks to Feng Yu's previous chaos, many demons had already been killed, leaving them less resistant than before.

Now, with Shinobu's power greatly increased, she not only dealt with two Lower Rank demons but also found time to help the Demon Slayer Corps members eliminate the remaining demons.

Each time Shinobu leaped, she killed several demons, and wherever she passed, demons fell to the ground, poisoned and dead.

In the sky, Feng Yu and Akaza were locked in a fierce battle, their clashes more intense with each passing moment.

Akaza saw that Feng Yu's fighting spirit was growing stronger, his energy levels almost on par with his own.

"Why is your fighting spirit growing stronger?"

Akaza shouted in confusion.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you—too bad you're not human!"
