Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 49 Awakening and the End

Chong——!
A harsh friction sound rang out between the two of them, and Xin Lailai's feet suddenly turned into black shadows as he swung the knife, and his body slid straight one step to the right without any warning.

Ding!
The sudden change of moves made Tanjiro's reaction significantly slower by half a beat, but his body's instinct and the gap in his sense of smell allowed him to barely block the attack.

But in the next moment, Tanjiro's expression suddenly changed.

Xin Lailai suddenly let go of the Nichirin sword at the moment when their blades touched. The arms holding the sword turned into two dark shadow blades and slashed towards Tanjiro's face.

not good!

Tanjiro's pupils shrank suddenly, and he exerted force on his wrist, changing the trajectory of the sword from a flat slash to a downward slash.

stab-

The sound of tearing flesh and blood was heard, and large amounts of blood flew, but it was not Tanjiro's blood.

"Not bad, I actually escaped."

The shadow blades in Xin Lailai's hands changed back to normal palms, catching the fallen Nichirin sword, and looked at Tanjiro who was sweating profusely in front of him with a smile.

As he spoke, the bone-deep wound on his arm had completely healed.

Suddenly, a harsh explosion sounded, and he saw that the sound column had circled behind him at some point. He turned his body and slashed towards Xin Lailai's neck with all his strength.

"It's not a good idea to attack rashly before the map is completed."

Xin Lailai smiled and tilted his head, dodging the first blow from the sound column, and immediately prepared to sneak into the shadows, but the next moment, a roar sounded from above——

A dazzling light bloomed, instantly illuminating an area of ​​more than ten meters in radius as bright as day. Xin Lailai, who was about to use the shadow to avoid the second sound column, changed his expression slightly, and decisively changed his panning to diving.

"Don't try to escape."

A light and fluttering voice suddenly reached Xin Lailai's ears, and the figure of Muichiro Tokitoru, who was ten meters away a second ago, suddenly floated in front of Xin Lailai's eyes like smoke.

Breath of Kasumi, Form of Si, Shifting Slash!

The cold sword light flashed, Xin Lailai's lower body was cut off directly, and the half-completed shadow transformation was also terminated.

Then--

The cold curved blade fell from the sky.

Snake Breath·Two Type·Narrow-headed Venomous Fangs!

'Are you able to cooperate already? '

In his gaze, Xin Lailai watched the snake swooping down from the sky, slashing at his neck like a poisonous snake, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

The Sound Pillar was used as bait, and special flash bombs and Xiazhu's high-speed surprise attack were used to interrupt his vampire technique. Finally, the Snake Pillar, which could attack from all angles, made the final kill.

If it had been a guy who only knew the Vampire Technique and Breathing Technique, he might have succeeded, but it's a pity——

Whoa-!
The cold sword flashed past and hit the ground heavily.

Missed in one hit.

The scene seemed to freeze at this moment.

Then, Yu Sui Tianyuan's tall body fell heavily to the ground before it started flowing again.

'This guy actually...'

Yin Zhu looked at the penetrating wound on his chest, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Xin Lailai standing not far away, his consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

——In mid-air, a translucent magic chip was quietly suspended, allowing Xin Lailai's shadow, which should have been trapped in the light, to directly connect to the dark night in the distance.

pat.

The flaming flashbang fell back to the ground, burning up quickly.

The surroundings were once again plunged into darkness.

"It was really thrilling. Did you almost die?"

Xin Lailai's voice came, and he walked out from the shadow of the woods with a smile, looking at the three people in front of him with expressions full of disbelief.

"You don't have to be so shocked, right?"

Xin Lailai said and put his head back on his neck.

"After all, no one has stipulated that ghosts must die if they are beheaded. Tanjiro, what do you think?"

Dead silence.

Whether it was Tanjiro and the others who still had the ability to move, or the undead Saneya Kawa and others who were seriously injured but still conscious not far away, looking at Xin Lailai standing in the darkness, all of them flashed through their minds at this moment. The same word:
'monster'

Snake Zhu's palm holding the knife even began to tremble slightly. He stared at Xin Lailai in front of him, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat.

Can't beat it.

They simply cannot defeat this enemy in front of them.

Unlike any evil ghost they had encountered before, Xin Lailai's fighting method was almost counter-intuitive to them.

There is no way to imagine what the next attack will be like.

It is impossible to imagine what methods the other party will use to avoid their attacks.

It is impossible to imagine what kind of attack can hurt the opponent.

Xin Lailai's power is not that strong.

Snake Zhu could clearly feel that the opponent's wrist strength was not even as good as his, who had the weakest wrist strength among them.

Although the speed is very fast, it is still far from being able to be caught by the naked eye.

But the other party's accuracy was simply terrifying.

No matter what kind of attack, the opponent can always dodge it with a slight difference, as if he can predict the future.

Coupled with that ghostly fighting method, the oppression brought by Xin Lailai directly amplified to the limit. "escape……"

Suddenly, a weak voice sounded. Shezhu's pupils shrank suddenly and he looked at the source of the voice with his peripheral vision.

Love Pillar·Ganlu Temple Mitsuri.

Having withstood the final blow of the Flame Pillar, half of her body was covered in burnt slash marks. If it weren't for the unusual density of her body, it would have been impossible to stand up.

"Mr. Ihei... hurry up... take the little lord and the others... and evacuate."

Lianzhu said with difficulty, took a deep breath, endured the severe pain in his body, and moved the whip blade in his hand, attacking Xin Lailai.

"I'll... drag..."

puff!
"Reality will not give you so many opportunities to chat, Miss Ganluji."

Xin Lailai smiled and took back the shadow blade that penetrated Ganlu Temple's heart and kicked it away.

"Nanlu Temple!!"

When Snake Pillar saw this, his head went blank, and his body instinctively rushed out.

"Mr. Iguro, calm down!"

Seeing this, Muichiro Tokitoru gritted his teeth and could only rush forward together.

But this time, someone was faster than them!
"Xin Lailai!!"

Kagura, the god of fire, the halo dragon!
The hot blade instantly ignited the air, shattered the spell chip blocking the way, and slashed towards Xin Lailai.

Xin Lailai's body disappeared in place, and Tanjiro's blow missed without any suspense, but the next moment——

boom--!
Xin Lailai's pupils shrank suddenly, and the moment he reappeared, Tanjiro changed his direction directly as if he had predicted it, and slashed at him with a knife.

There was a roar like an explosion, and Xin Lailai's body was instantly pushed back for more than ten meters. But this time, before he could adjust his posture, the next slash followed.

God of Fire Kagura · Bone-burning Yan Yang!
Tanjiro stepped heavily, spun his body and rushed out, directly coming to Xin Lailai's side, driving a flaming spin attack, and slashed out with a knife.

Seeing this, Xin Lailai's body immediately turned into a black shadow and was about to avoid the attack, but he felt a violent impact on his lungs, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and was smashed into the ground.

God of Fire Kagura · Flywheel Kagero

God of Fire Kagura·Turn Around the Setting Sun

The combination of moves that deceive the enemy's sight and moves that allow one to move in the air directly exerts amazing miraculous effects.

This guy……

Xin Lailai gritted his teeth and rolled directly to the right, avoiding the blow to his head. His body blended into the shadows and instantly appeared in the shadow of the leaves above Tanjiro. He swung his knife towards Tanjiro. Cut it off.

Chong——!
God of Fire Kagura Train!
In the most intense collision, Tanjiro seemed to have the ability to predict. He changed his posture in mid-air and blocked Xin Lailai's attack with a move like a waterwheel.

The two landed, and then...

Boom boom boom!
It was no longer the clashing sound that swords should have. The explosion of flames in the air resounded crazily in the woods. Tanjiro's movements completely turned into afterimages. The successive slashes made Xin Lailai completely unable to resist, and could only Resist with regeneration ability.

Snake Zhu and Xiazhu on the side looked at this scene, completely stunned, and did not even dare to step forward to intervene, because the speed displayed by the two people in the fight was completely beyond the point where they could participate.

finally--

God of Fire Kagura and Fire Dance!

boom!
With the last roar, Xin Lailai's body was completely shattered by the slashes accompanied by flames, and the pungent burnt smell filled the air.

Shezhu and Xiazhu were stunned on the spot, with disbelief in their eyes.

"Is this... the end?"

Snake Pillar looked at Xin Lailai's body gradually turning into ashes and said to himself.

"Tanjiro...!"

After Tanjiro stopped attacking, his body froze first, and then he spurted out a large mouthful of blood. Seeing this, Muichiro Tokitoru quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Mr. Muichiro, don't worry about me yet. Quickly, call the others... to save Mr. Giyuu and the others."

Tanjiro said weakly, Muichiro nodded, and immediately prepared to notify the logistics members of the Demon Slayer Corps who were defending on the outside to come over for rescue, something unexpected happened.

clap clap-!
A series of applause suddenly sounded, and the three people looked over suddenly, their breaths suddenly suffocated.

I saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness and standing in front of the three people.

"Wonderful, wonderful, Tanjiro, you did a great job."

Xin Lailai looked at the three people in front of him and said with a smile.

impossible……

The three of them looked at Xin Lailai in front of them, and then at the gradually disintegrating residue beside them, with a look of despair on their faces.

at this time--

"That's it, Xin Lailai. If we continue, these children may not be able to hold on any longer."

A voice suddenly came, and for a moment, Tanjiro and others were stunned.

I saw a figure wearing a white robe, with a large area of ​​chest stained red by blood, came to them, held Xin Lailai's shoulders, then looked at the Tanjiro trio in front of them, and said with a smile:

"You did a great job, thank you for your hard work."

Said the Lord of the Demon Slayer Squad, Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya.

……

　Caught up, exhausted.
