Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

"Caw, Master, save me!"

Xiao Hei's voice rang out from behind.

Feng Yu turned to look, only to find that Xiao Hei's back was entangled by a massive black snake.

Xiao Hei, unable to strike at the snake, began desperately slamming his body against the ground and tree trunks in an attempt to dislodge it.

However, the snake clung to him like glue, refusing to let go.

"Damned crow, you've killed so many of our kin, now it's your turn to die!"

The black snake opened its enormous jaws, ready to bite down on Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei squeezed his eyes shut, thinking to himself, "Master, why haven't you come yet? Your beloved, brave Xiao Hei is about to die..."

"Total Concentration: Breath of Light, Fifth Form, Light Flash!"

Feng Yu instantly appeared behind Xiao Hei, then sheathed his sword.

The dust settled to the ground as his fluid movement completed the action, and the slash counter on the system updated to 500,000.

"I... my head... has been... cut off..."

The snake demon's head fell to the ground, its mouth gaping, seemingly trying to scream, but no sound came.

"Huh? Why doesn't it hurt?"

Xiao Hei, puzzled, opened his eyes, only to realize the demon had vanished from his body.

"Master... you finally came to save Xiao Hei... I almost died..." Xiao Hei complained, his voice trembling.

"Alright, I'm here now," Feng Yu said, dismissing Xiao Hei's dramatics. He took out a healing elixir from his system inventory and handed it to Xiao Hei. Then, he pulled out a set of clothes and changed quickly.

"I wonder how Shinobu Kochou is doing. Hopefully, there's still a chance to rack up some more sword slashes..."

Feng Yu glanced at the battlefield where Shinobu Kochou was engaged and then quickly pulled Xiao Hei towards it.

On the Other Side of the Battlefield

The ground was littered with the corpses of demons covered in purple spots. Shinobu Kochou 's hair was a little disheveled, but she slowly withdrew her sword from the body of Lower Rank Five.

As soon as the sword was pulled free, the demon's body began to tremble, collapsing to its knees as it let out a pained scream.

"Ahhh, help me... help me!"

The Lower Rank Five demon fixed its wide eyes on the remaining Lower Rank Six, reaching out in a desperate plea for help.

However, the poison from Shinobu Kochou 's Sword spread through the demon's body rapidly, like a curse, until it lay lifeless, just like the other demons.

"Mr. Demon, you're the last one left. Why don't you want to coexist peacefully with humans... You can tell me, how many people have you eaten?" Shinobu Kochou wiped the dust off her face and smiled.

"This woman... is she joking? How can she be so strong? If it weren't for my Blood Demon Art, she wouldn't have been able to pierce my skin... I'd be dead like the others already..." Lower Rank Six sweated profusely, his face filled with fear.

He recalled how this woman had smiled as she danced through their demon ranks, and all the demons had been poisoned to death.

"I can't die here... I must escape... I've worked so hard to become a Twelve Kizuki... I've gained the favor of that master..."

Lower Rank Six's breath quickened, his mind racing with escape plans.

"Mr. Demon, don't you want to tell me the truth?" Shinobu Kochou asked sweetly.

"Do you remember the place called Lingdong...?"

Her eyes fixed on Lower Rank Six, and a sudden chill swept over him.

"She... she knows about that place..." Lower Rank Six stared at Shinobu Kochou in disbelief.

"One hundred and thirty-one people... all killed and eaten in one night. This piece I have is exactly the same as the missing piece of armor from Mr. Demon!"

Shinobu Kochou pulled out a bronze fragment from her chest.

"See, doesn't this look like the missing piece of your armor?"

"I... I didn't do it! It wasn't me!"

Lower Rank Six shouted in terror, but as Shinobu Kochou raised her sword, his fear drove him to retreat, desperate to flee.

"Total Concentration: Breath of Insects, Dance of Bee Stingers!"

Shinobu Kochou leaped with astonishing speed, her sword stabbing fiercely toward Lower Rank Six.

"Clang!"

She struck several times, aiming for the weak spots, but failed to break through the armor. Instead, she created a thin crack.

"Mr. Demon, look! Your armor has a crack in it, it's broken. Should I take it off for you?" Shinobu Kochou smiled sweetly.

"You damn woman, die!"

"Blood Demon Art: Blood Demon Axe!"

A blood-red axe materialized in Lower Rank Six's hands, and he swung it at Shinobu Kochou .

However, her movements were so swift that his strike was easily dodged. If not for the armor, this demon would have perished long ago.

"Boom!"

Lower Rank Six's attack missed, his powerful blow hitting the ground and creating a deep fissure.

"Mr. Demon, your strength is impressive, but it's useless against me!"

Shinobu Kochou dodged again, then immediately struck with her sword in another Dance of Bee Stingers.

Lower Rank Six gripped the axe, preparing to strike again, but was once more easily avoided.

"Damn woman, if you're so brave, why not face me head-on, instead of sneaking around? And you're one of the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

Lower Rank Six growled in frustration. He noticed that each strike from Shinobu Kochou left a new crack in his armor. If it continued, the poison would soon seep in, and his fate would mirror those demons already lying lifeless on the ground.

Just as Shinobu Kochou was about to speak, Feng Yu's voice echoed from above. "Oh? How about I join you?"

"Total Concentration: Water Breathing, Second Form, Water Wheel!"

A blue-white crescent wave descended from the sky, slashing at Lower Rank Six.

"Boom!"

Lower Rank Six stood frozen in place, his eyes wide with fear, watching as his armor cracked at the top of his skull and split in half, falling to the ground.

Feng Yu swiftly finished the job, slashing off Lower Rank Six's head.

The demon's body crumbled to ash, unable to resist, soon vanishing entirely.

"System Notification: Congratulations! You have earned 1,000,000 sword slashes."

"Is that it?" Feng Yu stared at the notification.

"What's 'is that it'?" Shinobu Kochou asked.

"Nothing... Did you get hurt?" Feng Yu asked.

Before she could respond, he had already tossed her a healing elixir.

Shinobu Kochou blushed, ready to scold him, but Feng Yu had already hopped onto Xiao Hei's back and rushed off toward the remaining demons.

"That damn bastard!" Shinobu Kochou cursed.

"How dare he...?" As she thought back to the first time a man had touched her hand, a mix of anger and strange feelings welled up inside her.

Xiao Hei was fast, but Feng Yu was even faster at killing demons.

From a distance, Shinobu Kochou heard the anguished screams of the remaining demons and then... silence.

"Finally caught up..."

As Feng Yu heard the system notification, he felt a sense of achievement.

All the demons had been eradicated.

The sword slash count had reached over nine million again.

"It's Lord Feng Yu!"

"Thank you, Lord Feng Yu, for saving us!"

The remaining Demon Slayer Corps members, regardless of their injuries, cheered.
