Night had completely fallen and the streets were deserted.

Tanjiro Kamado felt a little strange, as this was the first time he went out so late at night.

Nezuko had planned to come along, but was told by Lin Yu that he needed to come alone.

So this time he traveled light and left all his luggage at the place where he was staying.

The only thing he had with him was a hand axe.

"Master, is there anyone here at this hour?"

Tanjiro Kamado asked as he walked down the street.

In the past, we usually dealt with gangsters and robbers in the evening, when they were looking for targets to commit crimes.

"Don't ask too much. You will know when you reach your destination."

Lin Yu was calm and composed, his mind had already locked onto the ghost.

"But be prepared, this time you won't encounter the same kind of people as before."

Lin Yu reminded.

This immediately made Tanjiro Kamado feel a chill in his heart. Lin Yu had never said much about the opponents he had faced before.

I gave him a special reminder today, which made him realize that something was wrong.

However, more than a month of fighting has made him accustomed to fighting and he is no longer unfamiliar with it. He no longer has the previous fear and uneasiness about the unknown in his heart, but instead has a stronger desire to fight.

When the battle just started, he could always see his own shortcomings, and Lin Yu would also point out where he went wrong.

After more than a month of fighting, he has become accustomed to fighting and has become more experienced.

But what followed was that he no longer felt any improvement in the battle.

Now Lin Yu's reminder made him realize that perhaps today's battle was different from the previous ones.

There was no conversation along the way. After passing through the winding streets, Tanjiro Kamado arrived at the poor area of ​​the village.

He was a little confused, because those gangsters and robbers had no interest in the poor at all.

At this moment, Tanjiro Kamado noticed something was wrong.

He twitched his nostrils, and a foul smell lingered at the tip of his nose. Dirt and disorder were the norm in poor areas, but among these unpleasant smells, he detected a smell of blood!
And the intensity was so strong that even Tanjiro Kamado, who was used to seeing killings, couldn't help but frown.

At the same time, he also smelled a slightly familiar scent.

Because of the special smell, he immediately remembered that this was the scent he smelled when he was shopping with Nezuko in the evening.

"Follow the aura, that is your opponent today."

Lin Yu said lightly.

Tanjiro Kamado took a breath, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he quickly ran towards the source of the smell.

The closer you get, the stronger the smell of blood becomes, almost making you nauseous.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace, and soon he found his target.

It was a house at the very edge of the village, and the door was so broken that it looked as if it had been violently knocked open by a tree stump.

As we got closer, we could hear bursts of tiny sounds coming from the air.

It sounded like the sound of chewing meat, accompanied by a sound similar to sucking bone marrow.

Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help but tighten the axe in his hand and approached the room silently.

He did not rush in, as many battles had taught him the importance of observing first.

Through the door, with the faint moonlight, Tanjiro Kamado saw the scene inside and his eyes suddenly turned red with anger.

The children who had passed by on the street before were lying on the ground in a mess, with distortion and fear on their thin faces, and a flower of blood blooming on their necks.

At this time, a thin man was lying on the belly of the oldest boy, moving his body and eating with relish.

The boy's face showed despair, unwillingness and more importantly, fear.

A bloody smell was coming from there.

Such a familiar scene almost made Tanjiro Kamado unable to remain calm, and his breathing became faster.

The heavy breathing was so obvious in the silent night that the thin man stopped and looked back.

The moonlight illuminated the other's face, which was already completely red, and his fangs flashed a faint cold light.

It's a ghost!

Tanjiro Kamado finally understood what Lin Yu’s reminder meant.

These are the man-eating evil ghosts mentioned in the legends!
The thin man looked at Tanjiro Kamado and a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

He didn't even notice that the other party was approaching here.

Could it be that I was too focused on eating and didn't notice the other person?
But no matter what, if this person knows his true identity, then he must die!
The thin man had a fierce look in his eyes and rushed towards Tanjiro Kamado like an arrow.

The moment Tanjiro Kamado looked into the other person's eyes, all the muscles in his body tensed up, and when the other person moved, he moved with him.

The hand axe in his hand chopped fiercely towards the opponent's face, but the killing move was actually a hook punch with his left hand, aiming at the opponent's waist.

This was what Lin Yu taught him. Humans are fragile. If any of their internal organs is attacked, they can die at any time.

No less than ten people have died from this move.

But this time, the fatal blow no longer worked against the thin man.

The thin man faced Tanjiro Kamado's hand axe and just turned his head slightly, allowing the axe to fall on his neck without any hindrance. Tanjiro Kamado was startled and his left hook also landed on the opponent's waist.

However, the opponent endured these two attacks as if nothing happened, and still punched out, landing on Tanjiro Kamado's stomach.

Tanjiro Kamado felt as if he was hit by a wild boar, his whole body bent and flew several meters away.

Tanjiro Kamado endured the severe pain, rolled on the ground, stood up again, and held the hatchet across his chest.

Any fall during a battle, if not handled promptly, could very likely result in death.

He looked at the man in front of him with some doubt. If an ordinary human had been injured like that, he would have definitely died.

At this moment, the thin man showed a sneer on his face, and the long bloodstain on his neck healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Haha, you are just an ordinary person who knows nothing. If you want to get rid of harm for the people, it depends on whether you are qualified."

The thin man's face was extremely ferocious, and he glanced at Kamado Tanjiro's belly with ill intent:
"You must have been seriously injured by that blow just now. I wonder how many more blows you can take?"

Tanjiro Kamado's face was as gloomy as water. He had realized that he had been careless.

During this month, he heard many rumors about ghosts while traveling, many of which included rumors that ghosts were immortal.

He originally thought it was a rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true.

However, after meeting Tomioka Giyu, he also knew that humans should use methods to kill ghosts, otherwise the human world would have long been dominated by ghosts.

At this moment, Tanjiro Kamado's heart moved, thinking of Nezuko's unwillingness to be exposed to sunlight. So is sunlight the means to fight against demons?

Considering that Lin Yu chose to let him come at a time when the sun was about to rise, he was certain that ghosts must be afraid of sunlight.

After thinking for a while, Tanjiro Kamado had an idea.

The thin man who saw Tanjiro Kamado was reluctant to speak also rushed over again.

This time he was even more arrogant and changed his punches to grabs, with the obvious intention of fighting Tanjiro Kamado in close combat.

Tanjiro Kamado took a deep breath, forced down the severe pain in his stomach that showed no sign of relief, and moved his body as he pleased.

Although he didn't know how to kill, it didn't mean that he had no means to deal with it.

After all, although the opponent is strong and fast, his attacks are mostly straight forward, without any flexibility at all, and may even be worse than some street thugs.

Tanjiro Kamado easily dodged the thin man's grab and swung out with his axe again, this time aiming at the opponent's eyes!

The thin man did not dodge or evade, and was hit by Tanjiro Kamado with his eyes open, adding a few more bloodstains to the ground that was already covered with blood, but with his eyes damaged, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Tanjiro Kamado.

Tanjiro Kamado had expected this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, along with the cold light of the axe flashing in the moonlight.

The axe fell down with it, and along with it fell the opponent's arm.

While twisting his body, he kicked the arm away.

Then he quickly retreated and landed at the door of the room.

This attack of his was a test, he wanted to see how strong the opponent's self-healing ability was.

After all, the opponent is not indestructible. Although the wound on his neck recovered quickly, it still takes a few seconds. If he lost his arm, it might take more time to heal.

The ideal situation would be that the opponent's arm cannot grow back.

"Haha, do you think you can restrict me like this?"

The thin man smiled sinisterly, and then with a sound of twisting flesh and blood, an arm thinner than the previous one grew out.

Tanjiro Kamado's heart sank.

Although the opponent's self-healing speed has not reached the worst level, it is definitely on the worse side.

His original plan was to cut the opponent into a human stick and then wait for the sun to rise, but now that this idea has gone wrong, he can only see if he can control the opponent and then wait for the sun to rise.

At the same time, Tanjiro Kamado also prepared for the worst - if he could not control the other party, he would try to delay time and wait for the sun to come, so that he would at least be safe.

Just as Tanjiro Kamado was thinking this, he felt his right leg being restrained by a force.

The force was so great that it almost broke his bones.

He looked down and found that he had cut off one of the opponent's arms before, and a small leg had grown out of the broken end.

It quietly moved behind Tanjiro Kamado and controlled him.

At the same time, a sinister voice sounded:
"Haha, I caught you. Let's see how you can run away."

Tanjiro Kamado thought to himself that something was wrong, but he was completely unable to move and was knocked down by a strong force the next second.

The thin man held Tanjiro Kamado's arms tightly with both hands, and stared at Tanjiro Kamado with his scarlet eyes.

The two men looked at each other, only a dozen centimeters apart. The disgusting stench from the thin man's mouth hit Tanjiro Kamado in the face, making him almost dizzy.

The thin man twitched his nose and sniffed the scent of Kamado Tanjiro, revealing an intoxicated look:

"It tastes really sweet. I've never eaten flesh as strong as yours. Maybe it's as chewy as beef?"

Tanjiro Kamado pursed his lips and stared at the thin man.

“Haha, forget it. I was thinking of enjoying your desperate expression, but seeing your expression, I might as well just eat you!”

As the thin man finished speaking, his fierce look was revealed, and his mouth full of fangs opened as wide as possible.

Bit Tanjiro Kamado's neck hard!

Tanjiro Kamado felt death approaching, and there was only one thought left in his mind.

He hates!

Why am I so weak that I can’t even deal with a ghost that looks so weak?

How can he take revenge on his enemy like this!
Lin Yu has already taught him so much, but there are still so many things he cannot take care of?

The raging flames of hatred burned wildly, and the surging hatred and emotional power made the seeds of emotional power that had already taken root and sprouted grow vigorously, and the emotional power quietly flowed in Tanjiro Kamado's body.

Seeing everything, Lin Yu showed a smile.

Sure enough, the emotional power that erupts between life and death is the largest and most turbulent.

Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then he moved his mind and infused a part of his emotional power into the body of the thin man opposite him.

The opponent's ferocious expression froze at this moment, and then countless cracks appeared on the opponent's body and face.

The next second, the opponent exploded with a loud bang, and his body broke into countless tiny pieces, creating a pure violent blood flower in the room.

There was sticky blood all over the walls and the floor.

Seeing this familiar scene, Tanjiro Kamado was suddenly embarrassed.

"Did the master take action?"

He asked aloud with some uncertainty.

"Who else could it be? This month's teaching was completely in vain. If you remembered what I said, you would not be so embarrassed when facing the other party."

Lin Yu said coldly:
"I have told you so many times. When facing an enemy, you must not let go of any anomalies or possibilities. The enemies you will face in the future will only be stronger than the one in front of you, and their abilities will be more bizarre. You must be more careful."

Although he had anticipated the scene before him, teaching was another matter.

"I'm sorry, Master, I disappoint you."

Tanjiro Kamado felt extremely ashamed. He felt a little sorry for Lin Yu's teaching over the past month.

But then he mustered up his determination again and clenched his fists:
"Next time, I won't make the same mistake again."

This sentence was extremely sincere, and Lin Yu could naturally tell that the other party's words were not perfunctory.

In this way, the purpose of this time has been achieved.

"Okay, let's get ready to leave. The noise just now has attracted people here. We can't waste time here."

Lin Yu warned.

Tanjiro Kamado nodded, glanced at the young men on the ground who had passed by him and were still very alive, and he mourned silently in his heart:

"Rest in peace. Your enemies have been dealt with."

After a quick glance, Tanjiro Kamado resolutely left. (End of this chapter)
