Chapter 47

"Brother, is he asleep?" Nezuko looked at Agatsuma Zenitsu in surprise.

This person is so strange.

He can use such powerful swordsmanship even with his eyes closed.

Tanjiro shook his head hesitantly. He didn't know what state Agatsuma Zenitsu was in.

""Let's go! I'll take you to find the artesian spring that Brother Qingfeng mentioned."

Agatsuma Zenitsu suddenly spoke, which scared everyone.

How come he seemed like a different person and suddenly became a little more reliable?

This question appeared in the minds of several people at the same time.

Agatsuma Zenitsu finished speaking and walked forward on his own. Tanjiro and others could only put aside their doubts temporarily and followed him.

There was some silence around, with only the sound of several people's footsteps hitting the ground.

This quiet atmosphere made Nezuko feel a little uneasy.

Sniff~sniff, Tanjiro shrugged his nose, reached out and grabbed Agatsuma Zenitsu who wanted to continue moving forward, and looked around warily.

"Wait, there's a ghost smell."

"Smell?" Agatsuma Zenitsu turned his head and closed his eyes to look at Tanjiro in confusion.

‘Where? Where?

Tanjiro looked grim, and looked around frantically, without further explanation.

‘Where on earth is this extremely rotten smell coming from! '

Bang, bang, heavy footsteps sounded, and this time Tanjiro didn't need to explain, the others also knew that something horrible was coming towards them.

Dark clouds covered the moon, and the dim moonlight fell somewhere in the forest. A ghost with arms all over its body, neck, and head gradually appeared in front of Tanjiro and the others.

Agatsuma Zenitsu and Tanjiro both felt a little chilly, and Kanao Kurika's face also showed a solemn expression.

The ghost no longer looked like a human, and must have eaten a lot of people. Maybe its blood demon art has already awakened.

"How could there be such a ghost here?"

Agatsuma Zenitsu was a little surprised. Ji Qingfeng had not told him about this matter. What he didn't know was that Ji Qingfeng felt that with Agatsuma Zenitsu's strength, the hand ghost was no match for him, so Ji Qingfeng didn't even mention this matter.

"I found it, a cute little fox."

The hand ghost was obviously excited when he saw the faces of the few people, especially when he saw the fox mask on Tanjiro's head, his eyes narrowed, and a sinister smile appeared on his mouth, which was held by his arms.

"Again?" Tanjiro whispered to himself in confusion.

"Fox boy, let me ask you, what year of the Meiji era is it now?"When the hand ghost was captured by Urokodaki Sakonji, it was still the Edo period. He had been imprisoned in Fujiki Mountain for a long time.

"It is the Taisho era now."Tanjiro was startled when he heard this, and then he answered loudly:

"Taisho?" Hearing this unfamiliar era name, Shougui was a little confused for a moment.

"ah!!"

"The year number has changed."

"Changed again!!"

"It changed again when I was locked up in this place!!"

"Ah!! Unforgivable, unforgivable!!"

"Damn Urokodaki, damn Urokodaki, damn Urokodaki!!"

The hand ghost seemed to be unable to accept the reality and became extremely manic. Its huge body with arms slammed the ground manically.

"Why do you know Mr. Urokodaki?"

Tanjiro saw that the hand demon was full of hatred and kept calling Urokodaki's last name, and asked in surprise

"Of course I know, because it was Urokodaki who caught me!!"

"47 years ago, which I can never forget!! When that guy was still hunting ghosts!!"

"Edo period!! Keio period!!"

"Hehe, here, I have eaten about 50 people. The damn Urokodaki certainly didn't think I could survive until now!!"

The hand ghost answered Tanjiro's question while smiling sinisterly.

"11, 12, 13"

"Then, you are the 14th."

Several arms were stretched out, and the hand ghost was counting something seriously, and then those arms stretched out their fingers and pointed at Tanjiro.

"What are you talking about? Tanjiro had a bad feeling and asked loudly.

"Hehehe, of course it’s the number of Urokodaki’s disciples that I’ve eaten."

"Hehehe, I have already decided to kill all of that guy's disciples."

"I think the two people who left a special impression on me are probably those two people."Looking at the wonderful expression on Tanjiro's face, the pleasure of revenge in the hand ghost's heart was somewhat satisfied.

"Of those two, the strongest one is the kid with a rare hair color, flesh-colored hair, and a scar on his mouth."

"The other one is a girl wearing a kimono with flower patterns. Although she is short and weak, she is very agile."

""Hehehe."

The hand ghost admired Tanjiro's expression, recalled the disciples of Urokodaki that he had eaten, and laughed more happily.

Hearing this, Tanjiro remembered the Usagi and Makomo who taught him in Sagiri Mountain.

‘They were killed by these two people? But when I was in Sagiri Mountain, I was with those two people.’

"Your mask, your fox mask is the symbol. I remember that the wood grain on the mask carved by Urokodaki was carved in the same way as the Tengu mask that guy wore."

"It's called the Disaster Removal Mask, right? Anyone wearing this mask will be eaten by me. They are all in my stomach, just like they were killed by Urokodaki himself, hehehe."

Tanjiro's furious expression at this time was exactly what the hand demon expected to see.

"When I said this before, the girl was crying and getting angry, hehehe, and after that, her movements became stiff, hehehehehe"

"Then I broke her arms and legs."

The string of reason in Tanjiro's mind finally broke, and he rushed towards the hand ghost with anger.

"Tanjiro!! Don't be impulsive!!"

"Brother!!"

Seeing Tanjiro rushing towards the hand demon in excitement, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Nezuko hurriedly followed behind Tanjiro and shouted anxiously. Tanjiro

's movements were seen clearly by the hand demon. The arms on its body looked like the arms of Luffy who had eaten the Human-Human Fruit, the Mythical Beast Species, and the Nika Form. They all attacked Tanjiro and Zenitsu Agatsuma and Nezuko behind him. Swish, swish, swish.

The speed of the arms attacking them was not fast. The three of them swung their swords in succession and easily cut off the arms of the hand demon.

Tanjiro, who rushed in front of the hand demon, faced its huge body and could not cut its neck at all.

Suddenly jumping up, Tanjiro used the breathing method, wrapped his arms around his neck, tightly grasped the handle of the Nichirin Sword and began to accumulate power.

‘Water Breathing...

With a bang, just as Tanjiro was charging up, an arm suddenly grew out from the side of the hand demon and hit Tanjiro hard.

"Tanjiro!!"

"Brother!!"

Seeing Tanjiro being blown away and crashing into the trunk of a tree, Agatsuma Zenitsu and Nezuko's faces were all angry.

Seeing this, Kanao Kurikaraki, who had been motionless, immediately rushed over to Tanjiro who had fallen to the ground and fainted.
