Become Supreme Will from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 276: House and Pillar

The Ubuyashiki clan's mansion is very secretive.

A black crow circled in the sky, flew into the elegant courtyard, and landed in the corridor.

Kuno, the contemporary head of the Ubuyashiki clan and the leader of the Demon Slayer Squad, strolled in.

The man has long, silky black hair that goes past his ears. He has an approachable temperament, gentle eyebrows and wooden clogs on his feet.

"It's Liu Yuan..."

Ubuyashiki Kuno recognized the crow.

Liu Yuan is a very outstanding swordsman among the second-level members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and he is also the inheritor of the Breath of Wind. This time he was appointed and sent to a place called Chahuagang to find traces of ghosts and kill them.Now that the crow is back, its mission has probably been completed.

Kuno smiled slightly and couldn't help but feel reassured.

He cares deeply about the safety of every member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Everyone has a mission and works together to fulfill a wish.

Kill the ghost Wu Tsuji without mercy.

It's just a pity that in his generation... Wuhan's whereabouts have never been found.

"Mysterious man! Black Yuori... Strange breathing method, kill ghosts..."

The crow jumped up and down to Kuno's feet, tilted his head, looked at his lord, and suddenly shouted.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Kuno's expression changed slightly.

He hurriedly knelt down, took off the letter from the bird's feet, unfolded it, and read it carefully.

Then, his eyes became dull...

On the paper was Liu Yuan's report on this mission, which mentioned a man in detail.

Use an ordinary katana to kill with one blow and chop off the ghost's head.

"..."

The white paper fell from his hand, and Kuno's expression changed from stunned to ecstatic and excited.

His bloodline was cursed because of the misfortune, and most of them did not live long... In order to fulfill their long-cherished wish, the Ubuyashiki clan tried their best to help the members of the Demon Slayer Corps and did everything they could.

Although they are unable to fight with swords in person, they spare no effort in other aspects to show their value. For example, through the intelligence network they have constructed as much as possible, they can learn about every ghost in advance to avoid casualties among the members of the Demon Slayer Team, or Through the shogunate, some conveniences are opened up.

There are also 'hidden' troops and collaboration with frontline members.

Ensure that the Demon Slayer Team is a whole, protect the information of each member, prevent them from being retaliated by ghosts, etc.

There are also plans to be arranged for different tasks...he has to arrange all these details, there are too many.

Very energy consuming.

But there is no way... As a member of the Uyashiki clan, Kuno also wants to accompany his team members to hunt ghosts, but he can't.

He tried lifting the knife, but with his body, even the simplest movement of swinging the knife was extremely difficult.

You can only burn yourself in this way.

Every generation of Uyashiki family heads, like him, have tried training... to express their unwillingness to their fate, but the curse placed on them is too great.

Everyone in the Demon Slayer Squad is the same as him. No one cares about their own life or death. What they care more about...is the inheritance of will.

Because he was too excited for the moment, Kuno couldn't hold it back, his throat moved, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Blood splashed on the wooden board. He didn't take it seriously. The hands supporting his body slowly clenched into fists. His eyes, which had always been calm and peaceful, suddenly became sharp and his tone was excited: "It happened...it actually happened. It's fate." The wheels are finally starting to roll.”

"I've been waiting for that glimmer of light in the darkness."

The white-haired woman behind him leaned closer to comfort her husband.

Kuno's two children hurriedly turned around and went to get the medicine skillfully.

"Ena... do you know what this means? This person... this swordsman who can kill ghosts in the dark with ordinary weapons! His appearance opens up a new door of hope. In addition to Sunshine, ghosts have a fatal weakness! Oni Wu Tsuji Muzan... there is an indelible crack in his destiny..."

Uyashiki Ena calmly said: "I understand."

As a member of the priest family, Ena had foreseen some scenes in her dream a few days ago, but they were very vague.

She could only feel a glimmer of opportunity.

Some kind of force suddenly appeared, an arm, gently pushing them deep in the 'quagmire'.

Yes, it is stuck in the quagmire.

Looking at the achievements of the Demon Slayer Corps over the past few generations, although they have been cleaning up ghosts and fighting against Muzan... in fact, they have achieved little success. Not only did the Demon Slayer Corps not find the instigator behind Muzan, there are even a large number of members. Among those who died at the hands of ghosts were pillar-level swordsmen.

From this point of view, they are always at a disadvantage in the war with ghosts.

If the Uyashiki clan hadn't united everyone's will, and if everyone hadn't held on to their beliefs, the Demon Slayer Squad would have been in danger of being destroyed at any time... losing the qualification to fight ghosts.

Mumei now probably doesn't take the Demon Slayer Squad seriously at all.

Every time the news of the death of a member comes, Kuno seems to be calm, but in fact, Ena, as his wife, is well aware of the pain and suffering in his heart.

Therefore, a few days ago, she told Kuno about her premonition.

But Kuno analyzed the situation and still couldn't find the opportunity for her premonition. In what aspect... He originally guessed that it might be that a certain column in the Demon Slayer Squad suddenly 'awakened' and possessed unparalleled combat power, or that it was a forged sword. The village invented some kind of technology to increase the power of the "Sun Lun Sword".

But they were all rejected by him in the end...

As the lord of the Demon Slayer Squad, Kuno knows everything very thoroughly, and he doesn't dare to be careless... He knows the strength of each pillar, and he also knows the details of the Sword Forging Village.

He firmly believed in his 'comrades', but he did not dare to underestimate Wu Pei...

To be honest, the probability of an opportunity appearing within one's own camp is extremely slim.

He has even made a decision to try his best to maintain the current number of members of the Demon Slayer Corps in the few time left... to keep this will intact and in a good state and pass it on.

In his generation, he has no hope.Start focusing on training the next generation.

Passing the baton on...

This is his mission and the best he can do for the Demon Slayer Corps.

He hated his incompetence.

However...the balance is broken.

With the appearance of a person...

Who is he?
This is Kuno's subconscious thought. Over the years, he has fought against Demon Dance Tsuji Muzan for a long time... The Demon Slayer Team has recruited all outstanding juniors and collected all the intelligence and information that can deal with ghosts. Logically speaking, it is impossible. There are omissions.

If this kind of power really existed, the Ubuyashiki clan would have known about it long ago...

Appearing at this time can only show that... it is the negligence of their Ubuyashiki clan.

After the excitement, Jiuzhi felt more self-blame and regret. If he could have known earlier that this kind of power still existed in the world...then there would be many fewer friends who were sleeping under the tombstones on the mountain.

"Black Haori..."

"Calling all pillars!"

Kuno grabbed his wife's sleeves and said in a deep voice.

"it is good."

……

A few days later, the pillar-level swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps arrived at the mansion one after another after receiving the news.

Seven in total.

Five of the representatives are the inheritors of the five major schools that evolved from the Breath of the Sun.

Water, thunder, rock, fire, wind.

In other words, among the demon slayer squads in the past, those who have become pillar-level leaders are mainly based on these five major schools.

Of the remaining two, one is a variant derived from the Breath of Thunder, the Breath of Light.

One is the breath of iron derived from the breath of rock.

The five basic breathing methods are relatively complete in inheritance and more detailed in development. They are suitable for most people. Compared with niche breathing, they are easier to get started... so the number of people is the largest.

The reason why this niche and alternative breathing method, such as the Breath of Light or the Breath of Iron, is difficult to pass on is that it was created by swordsmen of a certain generation based on their own specific circumstances.It is not applicable to everyone, and the methods and foundation of practice are also not sound... many inheritances were eventually broken.

Throughout the generations of Demon Slayers, there have been many variations of breathing, some with great power, some relatively mediocre...most of them are short-lived, and very few can be remembered.

The niche breathing method is too limited and has no practical significance for inheritance... Others may not be able to learn it if they want to learn it.

The requirements for cultivation methods and one's own physique are relatively strict, and it is difficult to find inheritors.

It is equivalent to tailor-made specific skills. Therefore, among the many breathing methods, there are only those five that are unbeatable.

To put it bluntly, the time for creating the genre was too short, and there was no detailed research and development.

The swordsmen are all focused on the ghosts, and rarely have the energy to care about other things. Naturally, they cannot be compared with the breathing methods of the five basic schools that have been accumulated over time.

The seven pillars gathered together, all young in appearance and appearance, and the eldest among them was only in his early thirties.

From this, it is not difficult to see the frequency of replacement of pillar-level swordsmen... and the level of casualties in fighting with ghosts.

In a certain era, the tragic situation even caused the Demon Slayer Corps to change several groups of people in just one year... Some of them were in the early [-]s, and they were all very young.

Of course, to be able to become a pillar, both strength and talent are indispensable.

Before coming, Qibizhu had received the news and had a general understanding of the situation.

Liu Yuan, as the messenger, also rushed to the mansion.

In front of everyone, I made a report... about how my life was saved by a mysterious man that night.

"Is it possible that some kind of medicine was applied on his knife to produce the effect?" In the scene, the man who was currently Shuizhu expressed his opinion after listening.

After all, using ordinary weapons to destroy the vitality of ghosts is... too unbelievable.

He prefers to infer 'rationally'.

"You mean wisteria?"

Lei Zhu, who was sitting cross-legged, held his chin and looked at his friend.

"Hey, are you sure it's an ordinary samurai sword? Did you see clearly? It might be the Nichirin sword, but it looks more ordinary. It must be fused with jade steel..." Another person looked at Liu Yuan and asked.

"Liu Yuan will not be mistaken."

Fengzhu spoke up for his junior brother, "Besides, every Nichirin sword comes from the Sword Forging Village...there are a number of them, and it is impossible for them to be left in the hands of outsiders. It is also impossible for others to master the method and technique of forging Nichirin swords." …”

"Where are the others?"

"I inquired about it. A big man like him is very conspicuous. Before I set off to come, he should have settled in a town at the foot of Mount Untori."

"Untori Mountain, where is it? I seem to have heard of it..."

The man with hair the color of fire asked excitedly.

"idiot."

The woman kneeling next to him rolled her eyes.

"Ah...I remembered!"

Purgatory Chijuro clapped his hands and flashed his big white teeth.

"No matter what, this person... we have to meet him."

At this time, Uyashiki, who had been smiling and saying nothing, looked at the group of talking Hashira in front of him and said softly.
