Chapter 417 410. Reverse Scale

The overwhelming swarm of spiders almost enveloped Zenitsu.

The sharp mouthparts in their mouths are full of venom. If bitten by these spiders, Zenitsu will probably lose the ability to fight on the spot.

But facing the swarm of spiders coming towards him, Zenitsu was still sleeping and standing there, motionless.

His hand was always on the handle of the knife, and his body was always tense, like an instinct, an instinct carved into his body through hellish training.

"Hey——"

As a pair of pale eyes opened, the electric current continued to spread with Zenitsu as the center.

The surrounding air began to tremble violently, and the spiders that rushed forward were dispersed by the surging current.

"boom--"

Thunder roared and the ground cracked.

The spider ghost hanging in mid-air felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

The young man with pale thunder in his eyes looked like Fudo Myooh who was haunted by thunder.

"Danger...danger!"

The spider ghost realized that something was wrong, but by this time it was too late.

It wasn't that his reaction was too slow.

But Zenitsu's speed is faster.

The golden flash disappeared, and the young man's figure completely disappeared from sight.

The only thing the ghost could do at this moment was to escape from the young man's attack range.

But where to escape?

In the air! To the air! The spider ghost becomes wise in its hurry. Humans cannot move freely in the air, but he is different. He looks like a spider now!

As long as he returns to his lair in mid-air, this human being will have nothing to do with him!

The silk thread at the tail was continuously recovered, and his body was pulled and quickly retreated towards the nest in mid-air.

But Zenitsu was faster than him.

"How can it be!?"

In his unbelievable gaze, a golden light rose up in a zigzag manner, penetrating the sky like thunder rising from the ground.

"bass--"

The sound of the knife was followed by thunder that resounded throughout the world. The boy's figure suddenly appeared in the sky and overlapped with the bright moon hanging in the night sky. The moonlight hit the boy's short hair, showing a bright golden color.

The lightning gradually dissipated, and the evil ghost with its body and head separated appeared in the light pillar. His eyes were dull, as if he hadn't realized what happened just now, and his body gradually collapsed and was annihilated along with the lightning.

Zenitsu fell onto the dilapidated wooden house suspended in mid-air by silk threads. It seemed that the pain woke him up from his sleep.

He felt like he was about to die. The spreading poison made his body seem to shrink in size, and the severe pain, as if his bones were melting, was unbearable.

"You can cry, you can run away, but don't give up!"

In a daze, Zenitsu seemed to hear his grandfather's scolding again.

"Yes...I can't give up..."

If he gives up, his grandfather will scold him to death, and he still has a lot of things to do, and he has to get a girlfriend first!

Zenitsu breathed desperately, trying to use breathing techniques to delay the spread of toxins in his body.

But the toxins in this way seemed more terrifying than he imagined.

Breathing alone can't delay the process for too long.

Gradually, Shanyi felt that breathing became extremely difficult, and he even lost consciousness.

"Are you going to die?"

The only thing he could move at the moment were his eyes.

Looking at the icy moon hanging in the night sky, my vision became increasingly blurry and the moonlight became dimmer and dimmer.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a butterfly flying in the moonlight.

"Where did the butterflies come from at night..." He was a little confused.

Butterfly-like feathers fluttered above the trees.

The butterfly stepped on the treetops with its feet, and its body was as light as if it was really flying.

Looking at the dilapidated wooden house hanging in mid-air by spider silk in the middle of the clearing, she jumped gently from the treetops.

The butterfly fell into the cobwebs, but these cobwebs could not hinder her progress.

The breeze ruffled the feathers on her body like a butterfly's spread wings.

He stopped lightly on the dilapidated wooden house and looked at the dying boy.

After observing the surrounding environment, she roughly knew what happened here. It was this young man who killed a certain evil spirit entrenched here.

A gentle smile appeared on Butterfly Ninja's face, and he waved gently in front of the boy's eyes.

"Moxi Moxi? Are you okay?"

On the other side, Inosuke, who was abandoned by Tanjiro, also ran into trouble.

The demon slayer swordsmen controlled by the threads had stopped moving for a long time. He originally wanted to catch up with Tanjiro to help, but he met a more troublesome guy on the way.

"boom--"

Inosuke narrowly dodged the attack, but the tree behind him was knocked down directly by the blow.

"This ghost is so strong!"

The ghost in front of him broke a tree half a meter in diameter with his bare hands.

Although Inosuke has a bad temper and is not very good at thinking, he has an almost wild intuition for predicting danger.

This burly ghost with a spider head had terrifying power at first glance, so from the beginning he felt that something was not going well.

According to common sense, what most people should do after seeing such a ghost and realizing something is wrong is to turn around and run away.

But Inosuke was different.

Although it feels a little bad, you still have to do it to know whether you can beat it!

Without thinking, Inosuke started to rush forward with his two swords in hand.

"bass--"

The serrated Nichirin sword struck the ghost's arm, but it did not cut off as expected.

"So hard!" Inosuke watched in surprise as his knife swiped across the ghost's arm.

Only jagged traces of blood were left, like trees that had just been lightly sawed.

The ghost's body was harder than he imagined. Even though his nichirin sword had been serrated and had stronger tearing ability, he still couldn't cut off the ghost's limbs with one knife.

······

Two violent roars came from different directions.

One sounded like a rumble of thunder, and the other sounded like something falling to the ground and being smashed.

Tanjiro was a little confused when he heard these sounds.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. The bright moon was very round. There were no clouds tonight. Where did the thunder come from?

Shaking his head, Tanjiro no longer thought about these unreasonable questions, because the direction of another voice came from the direction of Inosuke!

He left Inosuke there in order to kill the ghost controlling the swordsmen, and is now rushing back there.

But after hearing the loud noise, he knew Inosuke might be in trouble.

Without enough time to think about the specific situation, Tanjiro ran quickly. What he wanted to do was to rush to join Inosuke as soon as possible.

But……

Before Tanjiro could run far away, he heard a scream.

His path forward was blocked by two ghosts.

But the state of these two ghosts seems a little strange.

The girl-like ghost was kneeling on the ground, covering her bloody face and screaming, and standing in front of her was the boy-like ghost that Tanjiro had seen before.

"How is this going?"

Tanjiro felt strange when he saw the two ghosts hurting each other in front of him.

"Forehead?"

As if noticing Tanjiro passing by, the boy-like ghost raised his head indifferently.

"Is it a human? What are you looking at? This is not something humans should look at."

As he spoke, the boy turned over the flower rope in his hands as if nothing had happened, but the flower rope in his hand was not a toy played by ordinary children, but a tough spiderweb stained with blood.

"What are you doing?" Tanjiro asked.

"What?" the boy responded indifferently, "As you can see, I am punishing my sister."

"Sister?" Tanjiro was stunned.

"Yes, we are a family." The boy said matter-of-factly, "A family held together by strong bonds."

"Since we are family members, why should we hurt her?"

Tanjiro's eyes were filled with anger, something he had found strange from the beginning.

Ghosts should not live in groups, but this boy once mentioned 'home' and 'mother' in front of him, and now he mentioned 'sister'.

Could it be that the ghosts in this mountain are all family members of this boy? But since they are family members, why would they hurt each other?

"This is a problem between my sister and I. It has nothing to do with you as a human, right?" The boy stared at Tanjiro expressionlessly. He didn't understand what the boy was angry about. "Go away, I have no time to care about you now. If you dare to interrupt again, I will cut you into pieces."

"No, you are not family. Real family is not like you!"

Tanjiro became a little emotional, and the word 'family' had always been an inconvenience in his heart.

Family was a very precious thing to him, and the behavior of the ghost in front of him was an insult to that word.

He didn't smell any trust or love between family members from these two ghosts, only strong fear, hatred and disgusting stench!

"How can such a bond be family? Stop joking! Asshole!"

"What did you say?"

The boy's voice suddenly became extremely cold.

The atmosphere became extremely solemn, and the temperature of the air seemed to suddenly drop a few degrees.

"Ask me, what did you just...say?"

Veins popped up on the boy's face, and the thread in his hand creaked as the thread in his hand was stretched, and Tanjiro's entire body was enveloped in substantial anger.

"What a strong sense of oppression..."

Tanjiro's whole body suddenly tensed up.

His words seemed to anger the ghost in front of him, and he had never seen the oppressive feeling exuding from this ghost at this moment.

"That's right, Twelve Ghost Moons!"

He knew that there was a 'Twelve Ghost Moon' in this mountain, and combined with the strong sense of oppression emanating from this boy, it must be true if nothing else happened!

For a moment, Tanjiro tightened his grip on the handle of the knife and focused all his attention on the boy-like ghost in front of him.

Although he wanted to go back and help Inosuke as soon as possible, it seemed that he could not protect himself now.

However, he was not afraid and would not retreat.

Regardless of whether the other person is a human or a ghost, Tanjiro only knows that he is angry now.

"I can tell you as many times as you want! Your so-called family and your so-called bonds are all just for fun!"

"Very good." The boy's voice became even colder.

The cold wind blew slightly, and Tanjiro saw the boy's eyes covered by the blown white hair.

Those cold eyes were engraved with shocking words, "Xia Wu."

This is the unique eye of the 'Twelve Ghost Moon'. This ghost is the Twelve Ghost Moon hiding in this mountain.

His tired hands tightened the thread in front of him, and his eyes were extremely gloomy. "I will not let you die easily. I will torture you until you are bloody and bloody, and then - cut into pieces."

"Of course, if you are willing to take back what you just said, I will consider giving you a good pleasure."

"Sorry! I won't take it back!"

Tanjiro said sternly, "If you can do it, give it a try!"

As he spoke, he tightened his grip on the Nichirin Sword.

The next moment, the figure disappeared from the place.

"snort."

A disdainful snort came from Tired's mouth.

His eyes quickly moved in the direction of Tanjiro's movement.

Although this speed surprised him, it was not enough to scare him as the Twelve Ghost Moon.

"What can humans do no matter how fast they are?"

Soon, Lei locked his eyes on the fast-moving young man in front of him.

He slowly raised his hand, and the flower rope flipping in his hand fell apart in an instant.

With the waving of his arms, thin threads criss-crossed towards Tanjiro in the direction of his fingertips, and these threads continued to lengthen.

Danger! Tanjiro felt alarmed.

Although he couldn't see these fine threads clearly, the smell coming from the threads made him feel dangerous.

Needless to say, he probably knew that this was definitely not an ordinary spider silk. Just like the previous ghost, these threads should be the ability of this ghost!

Can't be touched!

Tanjiro's steps moved quickly and he withdrew from the net of silk threads.

His speed is very fast, but the area covered by these threads is too large.

Just by standing there, the threads spread out can cover all the nearby areas.

Even though Tanjiro tried his best to avoid it, two threads were still intertwined and headed towards his face.

If you touch it, your head will be cut open!

Tanjiro made an instant decision.

If you can't avoid it...then cut it off!

Along with what he was thinking, his body started to move instinctively.

The dark Nichirin sword met the two almost transparent threads head-on.

"Click——"

"!!?"

The next moment, something Tanjiro didn't expect happened.

The Nichirin sword in his hand broke off the moment it touched the thread.

The 'Twelve Ghost Moon' in front of him seemed to be much more powerful than he imagined. The hardness of the silk thread alone was not comparable to the ghost he met before.

Although it was a bit unexpected, Tanjiro did not hesitate in his actions.

There should be no hesitation when fighting. This is what the teacher has always taught him.

It doesn't matter if the knife is broken, and even if his limbs are broken, he can't stop. Nothing can stop him except death.

No, even if you know you will die, you have to do something!

"boom."

The wooden box containing Nezuko was thrown far away by Tanjiro.

Then there was a muffled sound, Tanjiro grabbed the ground with his head, and his whole body fell to the ground with a plop.

Colorless threads brushed dangerously against the back of his head, and some of the red hair was cut off.

"Avoid it!"

Tanjiro didn't have time to be surprised, so he quickly rolled towards the distance to distance himself.

"it's useless."

A cold voice came from above.

Lei gently pulled the threads in his hands. Under his control, the threads seemed to be alive and continued to pursue Tanjiro, who was rolling.
