After a while, the members of the Kakuzu who arrived quickly formed a circle to give Shinjuro first aid, and then lifted the stretcher to carry him away.
The crows above had already sent the news of the appearance of the upper rank back to the Demon Slayer Corps.
Following behind Kakuzu, the young man wearing a black and white striped feather cloth and a white snake wrapped around his neck landed smoothly.
After slowing down his rapid breathing, Iguro watched them go away with some worry.
The incident happened too suddenly, and he was too far away. When Iguro Obanai, who learned that his benefactor might be in trouble, arrived, it was already dawn.
He only saw Shinjuro fall to the ground with serious injuries and being carried away by Kakuzu, while the culprit escaped and disappeared.
"Hiss."
The white snake Kabutomaru in his arms felt the strong breath of the upper-rank evil spirit and was restless. Xiao Banei touched the snake's head to calm it down.
Seeing this, the members of the hidden team beside him comforted him.
"Don't worry, Master Shinki Aoi is coming with enlightenment, and Master Flame Pillar will be fine."
Another team member who had just bandaged Shinjuro also sighed.
"Master Shinjuro is worthy of being the Flame Pillar. According to the retreating swordsmen, after the investigation was completed, the upper-rank three suddenly appeared and killed a team member in public.
It was Master Shinjuro who stood up and held the upper-rank three alone, regardless of his life, so they survived."
The upper-rank demon, elusive and terrifying, even Senior Shinjuro couldn't deal with it?
Xiao Banei nodded slightly, and Kabutomaru in his arms was still twisting.
"Do you feel any other aura?"
Obanai patted Kabutomaru. Although the Flame Pillar was not weak, no pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps had survived fighting the Upper Ranks in the past hundred years, and no one knew the specific information about the Upper Ranks.
According to the information delivered by the Crow, it is very likely that the strong man who had previously eliminated the Lower Ranks was present and rescued Shinjuro after his defeat.
The cause of this incident was the death of two Lower Ranks, but this was just an appetizer for the subsequent development.
The third Upper Rank appeared unexpectedly, the Flame Pillar was seriously injured but obtained information and survived. The appearance of the mysterious strong man and the unclear attitude, this time the Pillar meeting was probably very lively.
Looking at the direction of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. Obanai was determined to quickly kill the Lower Ranks and become the Snake Pillar as soon as possible to fill the vacancy at the top combat power level of the Demon Slayer Corps and avenge his benefactor.
——————————
In the evening, in the mansion of the Rengoku family, a medium-sized Shinjuro and a beautiful girl with cherry hair were feasting in the spacious courtyard.
Kyojuro, who was eating hard, praised loudly.
"Congratulations, Mitsuri, you passed the Demon Slayer Corps test easily. I knew you could do it."
Mitsuri's face quickly turned red, and she answered a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, no, it's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Kyojuro.
It's just that the official uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps is so tight. Are all the uniforms of girls like this? It's so uncomfortable."
The two white rabbits of Kanroji were jumping up and down and swaying left and right with her movements, looking full of energy.
Facts have proved that the truth can never be covered up. Even if it breaks through the obstacles of heavy fabrics, it must be frankly exposed to the sun.
"..."
Kyojuro scratched his head about this question.
Although the uniform of the team doctor of Kakure is not like this, the uniforms of the Demon Slayer Corps and Kakure are different. He has not seen female swordsmen very often, so he doesn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, there was no awkward silence. Hearing Mitsuri praising her brother, Chijuro, who was busy serving rice, responded proudly.
"My brother is really amazing. He is a genius of the Purgatory Clan like my father."
Mitsuri nodded in agreement and said, "The Purgatory Clan is really amazing. There are people who can become the Flame Pillar in every generation. By the way, do you know a man named Rengoku Tsunejuro?"
Thinking of the original intention of joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Mitsuri began to describe Lin Heng's appearance seriously.
"He looks very similar to you.
Let me think... He is a little younger than Kyojuro, um... The hair and eye color are the same, and by the way, his name is also similar to yours."
After searching in his mind, Kyojuro said with some doubts: "From what Mitsuri said, he does look like a member of the Purgatory Clan, but I have never heard of the name Tsunejuro.
And since my mother died, my father has not remarried, and there are only two of us brothers and my father left in the Purgatory Clan."
Eh! ?
Mi Li was a little surprised. No matter how she looked at it, Lin Heng belonged to the Purgatory Clan. How could there be no such person?
"Really? Then it seems that we can only ask
The Flame Pillar.
Shinjuro-sama is really fierce, drunk all day, very sloppy, and not gentle to girls at all. "
Mitsuri stuck out her tongue and complained about Shinjuro, then asked timidly: "By the way, where did the Flame Pillar go? Did he get drunk outside again?"
Kyojuro, who was busy eating, raised his head again and answered loudly.
"Father went to hunt ghosts today. He was actually a very gentle and enthusiastic person before, but his temperament changed drastically after my mother passed away.
Without my mother's care, my father drank all day and even tore up the book of the Flame Pillars of all generations. He will probably step down after this time."
"Ah, how could this happen? "
Mitsuri covered her mouth in surprise, and Senjuro also lowered his head in depression.
Touching his brother's head, Kyojuro put down his bowl and said loudly with confidence.
"It's okay, don't worry, there will be no vacancy in the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, I will become the Flame Pillar.
As long as I can become a qualified Flame Pillar, my father will definitely cheer up. "
Pattling his brother's back vigorously, Kyojuro smiled confidently.
"Believe in my brother, Senjuro."
"Yeah!"
Nodding excitedly, Kyojuro has always admired his elder brother, and he laughed happily after being encouraged.
"Gu, Gugu."
"Ga, Gaga."
The pitch-black crow suddenly flapped its wings and landed on the tree in the courtyard, staring at the three people eating and announced loudly.
"Rengoku family, Rengoku family, Flame Pillar Rengoku Shinjuro-sama was seriously injured by the upper string.
He is currently being treated by the Butterfly House and is out of danger. He will stay in the Butterfly House for recuperation and will return to the Flame Pillar's residence soon. "
The three looked at each other in bewilderment. The appearance of the crow was without any sign and brought extremely bad news.
Mitsuri Kanroji had tears in her eyes and covered her mouth in shock.
"Ah? How could this happen..."
"Encountered the upper strings, my father..."
Kyojuro was stunned and looked ugly, and Chijuro started crying in a low voice.
Seeing this, the crow continued to pass on the message.
"Don't worry, don't worry. The Flame Pillar has been treated by the God's Hand and will get better soon.
Please take care of yourself, Flame Pillar, and recuperate well. Go to the headquarters to attend the meeting of the pillars in half a month. "
The crow flew away after delivering the message.
The three worried people didn't notice that there was an unexpected visitor in the sky who was sneakily looking around the mansion of the Rengoku family.
Holding the still crying Chijuro, Kyojuro looked at his father's decadent flame feather placed in the center of the room, which only the Flame Pillars of all generations were qualified to wear, and his fists were lowered and gradually clenched.
——————————
The sun dispersed the last ray of light at this moment, and night fell. The black skirt blocked the sight of all creatures on the earth.
But in the distant imperial capital Tokyo, the city seemed to have just awakened, with golden lights on, people coming and going on the streets, and the lights were bright and bustling.
Just behind the magnificent city, a muddy shadow that sank into the ground was making people Uncomfortably twisting and moving, bursts of gunfire came from inside.
Clank, clank...
Several steaming brass shells fell to the ground, and disappeared into the shadows along with a bunch of things wrapped in tape.
The sharp-toothed demon in military uniform dropped his empty pistol and fell backwards.
Looking inside through the bullet holes that pierced his head, the white brain matter was surging like the tide.
Ha, just a fatal wound.
The bullet holes healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The man opened his eyes and regained his sanity from his madness. The dark wolf pupils were engraved with the dark blue words "Xia Er".
So the restless voice kept echoing underground.
"This is the nth time I think of that disgusting man. Calm down, Peilang, calm down..."
