Chapter 69

"Ah~ It's been so long. I say, will there really be a pillar to save you weak little bugs?" Under the broken eaves of the temple, a thin figure half-lying on the wooden floor said with some boredom.

"Cough cough cough... Wait! You will definitely be killed by our Demon Slayer Corps!" A member of the Demon Slayer Corps kept coughing up blood, but still shouted angrily at the figure.

Swish! ! Puff!

"Ah!!" Unfortunately, as soon as the member finished speaking, a brown light flashed by, and then his entire right forearm holding the knife was cut off, blood splattered, and other members of the Demon Slayer Corps exclaimed and worriedly called the names of their companions.

"The weak should have the awareness of the weak. Who gave you the courage to offend me?" After saying this coldly, the figure stood up.

Slowly walking out of the darkness, under the moonlight, the figure's appearance can be seen, with a thin and long face, a sharp face, and three obvious cross-shaped scars on the forehead and cheeks.

Short black hair, small yellow earrings on the elf-like pointed ears, sharp fangs in the slightly opened mouth, but the most conspicuous should be the orange-yellow eyes.

In the orange-yellow pupil of the left eye, the two words "Xia Si" are clearly engraved! It is a lower-string demon!

Occasionally, a few dead leaf-like patterns can be seen on the grass-green hunting clothes of the lower-string demon.

This lower-string demon walked in front of the kneeling demon slayer team members, looking down at these angry and unwilling team members.

Raising his hand, the sharp orange claws directly grabbed the head of one of the team members, and easily pierced the skin on his head, and blood immediately flowed out.

"It seems that if I keep you here, I won't be able to wait for the Demon Slayer Corps' pillars. It's a pity. However, killing so many members of the Demon Slayer Corps and cutting off the hand of a pillar is enough to report to that master, haha, poor windlass." The Lower String Demon said to himself.

Then, it raised its claws and was about to tear the Demon Slayer Corps members in front of it into pieces.

Suddenly!! The face of the Lower String Demon changed, and then its body drew a residual image and retreated instantly!

A sharp whistling sound was heard in the sky, and a green light fell from the sky, directly piercing through the position where the Lower String Demon had just stood.

Bang!! The old stone slab was directly cracked, and the debris flew everywhere.

When the Lower String Demon stood firm again, he found that there was a green sun wheel short sword inserted in the position where he had just stood, and the blade was still trembling slightly due to the huge impact force.

"Oh? Sun wheel sword?"

Swish! Without waiting for the Lower String Demon to say anything, Shinichi, wearing a green haori, jumped down from the roof of the temple.

The thick deerskin boots landed steadily on the ground, and the collision with the bluestone slabs made a crisp sound.

With his back to the Lower String Demon, Shinichi first bent down, pulled out the short sword Mori no Ryu stuck in the bluestone slab, and casually inserted it into the scabbard at his waist, then stood up steadily and turned to face the Lower String Demon.

Staring at the Lower String Demon in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed, Shinichi asked curiously: "The Lower String Demon? Didn't one die? Why is there another one?"

The Lower String Demon smiled cruelly, "Oh~ So you know the old demon of the wind wheel? Haha, that guy is really useless, he was killed casually, but it's just right, if it doesn't die, how can I climb up?"

Shinichi looked at the strange face of the Lower String Demon, thinking about something, and suddenly seemed to think of something, questioning the evil ghost opposite: "The Lower String Demon who hurt Mr. Wind Pillar Yoshishin, you must be it!"

"Wind Pillar? Oh! The man in yellow clothes? I remember it, it's a pity, if it wasn't almost daytime, I could cut off more than just his hand, his head should also be mine, hehehe." The Lower String Demon laughed.

"Little, be careful, Shin, Shinichi, that guy has a very strange power!" Behind Shinichi, a member of the Demon Slayer team had bloodshot eyes and a ferocious face, and spoke to Shinichi with great effort. Obviously, he was also a member who had fought side by side with Shinichi.

Several members of the Demon Slayer team were in a very bad state, and seemed to have been deeply poisoned. One member even had an arm cut off.

Without any hesitation, Shinichi immediately drew out the Sun Wheel Sword, "Breath of the Forest·Type II·Willow of Vitality!"

The sharp Sun Wheel Sword instantly cut a tiny wound on the body of each member, and the green illusory willow branches immediately emerged, and the rich vitality immediately began to repair the members' bodies that were about to collapse.

The lower-rank demon, who had been watching this scene with interest, slightly twitched his nose, "Hmm~ It tastes very delicious. What is this trick? Hey! Little demon, are you a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps?"Shinichi turned around coldly, raising his two-color Nichirin Blade with green and red interweaving. "Demon Slayer Corps A-class swordsman - Moriki Shinichi, Lower String Demon, tell me your name, so that you won't be a scum before you die!"

The Lower String Demon raised his mouth corners, revealing a ferocious smile, "Hehe, arrogant boy! None of the pillars of your Demon Slayer Corps dare to speak so arrogantly! Boy! Remember, I will take off your head immediately! Lower String Four - Sick Leaf!!"

As soon as the voice fell, Lower String Four Sick Leaf and Shinichi's body started at the same time, and the two collided with each other as fast as two streams of light, so fast that they even left afterimages in the air.

Ping Ping Pong Pong! ! Shinichi's Nichirin Blade and the iron leaf-shaped short knife that appeared in Sick Leaf's hand at some point collided with each other, sparks flying.

Unlike the previous fight with the wind wheel, the wind wheel relies on strong physical fitness and brute force in close combat, but its stronger point should be its blood demon art. If it is not necessary, the wind wheel should not be willing to take the initiative to fight with the demon hunter swordsman in close combat.

But Bingye is different. Its physical skills are very powerful, just like a well-trained warrior. Every slash of Shinichi can be blocked by it.

Like the solemn Shinichi, Bingye was also surprised by the young demon slayer in front of him. Although it has been clamoring to challenge the pillars of the demon slayer team, if there really is a pillar in front of it, it will probably retreat.

Although it had the upper hand in the previous fight with the wind pillar, Bingye did not expand to continue to challenge other pillars. It just wanted to pretend to show it to that adult.

When Shinichi first appeared, Bingye was really stunned for a while. As a result, he learned that Shinichi was not a pillar, so he was relieved to fight with Shinichi.

You don't know until you fight. You'll be shocked when you do. Bingye is stunned to find that this young Demon Slayer swordsman named Shinichi is actually no weaker than the Wind Pillar who had fought with him before!
