The old man was so tired that he was not very happy.

Looking at the tiredness gradually turning into ashes, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had bad luck.

All the blood ghost arts were signed by him at once, so there was no need to keep them all.

Originally, I wanted him to keep Yu Hu company.

Otherwise, Yu Hu would feel lonely like this.

"Is your brother in good condition?" Li Xuan ignored the gradually dissipating tiredness and walked towards Nezuko.

"Yeah!" Nezuko, biting the bamboo yoke, nodded cutely. She had become much bigger because she had to carry two men taller than her.

Li Xuan walked up to Nezuko, who was already a head taller than him, and said, "You can put them down."

Nezuko obediently put the two injured people on the ground slowly.

Therefore, Li Xuan also found that Tanjiro was still conscious, but he couldn't move. Now he was staring blankly at the tiredness that was dissipating into ashes.

Ah... Tanjiro's daily post-war sentimental stage.

Li Xuan didn't say much. Although he didn't like this kind of behavior of sympathizing with ghosts, he wouldn't bother them.

Suddenly, there was a whizzing sound in the dense forest behind everyone.

A figure was approaching quickly.

"The smell of Kocho Shinobu."

Li Xuan knew the identity of the person who came with a shrug of his nose.

Suddenly, the people and ghosts present saw the scene of illusory butterflies flying in front of them, and Tanjiro and Nezuko felt a trance in their heads.

But Li Xuan was not affected at all.

"Murderous intent."

Li Xuan and Tanjiro smelled this smell at the same time.

The figure approached, revealing the figure of Kocho Shinobu. She swung the uniquely shaped Nichirin sword in her hand and slashed at Nezuko.

"Nezuko!" Tanjiro only had time to shout in panic.

"Zheng!"

Li Xuan instantly pulled out the Nichirin sword, swung the sword and collided with Kocho Shinobu's Nichirin sword, making a sound of metal clashing.

Kocho Shinobu's attack was blocked.

Her figure slowed down, and she flipped in mid-air, spinning to relieve inertia and impact and landed gracefully.

"Mr. Li Xuan." Kocho Shinobu resumed the address she had when they first met, with the gentle smile on her face, but the words spoken from her cherry-colored lips carried a questioning tone, "Why do you want to hinder me and protect the ghost?"

"The ghost behind you... Don't tell me you don't know? You are violating the team rules..."

It was obviously said with a smile, but it revealed a chill.

"No, this is my sister... not a ghost... ah... I can't say no..." Tanjiro, who was lying on the ground, sat up and tried to explain.

But Shinobu Kocho interrupted him with a smile: "Ah... it's your sister... so pitiful, then let me kill her with a gentle poison that won't hurt and help her get rid of it."

She clenched the Nichirin sword and pointed the tip of the sword at Li Xuan.

"Can you move aside, Mr. Li Xuan?"

"Da-me (No)."

Li Xuan also responded with a smile, and the smile on his face seemed to imitate Shinobu Kocho.

Looking at Li Xuan's smile, Shinobu Kocho seemed to have a "well" character on her forehead, and her anger rose in her heart.

She flashed and swung the Nichirin sword again, aiming directly at Nezuko.

"Zheng!"

It was still the sound of metal clashing.

Shinobu Kocho's Nichirin sword and Li Xuan's Nichirin sword collided again.

However, the next moment after the collision, Kocho Shinobu slid her Nichirin Blade down along the blade of Li Xuan's Nichirin Blade, trying to cross his blade and slash at Nezuko.

But her move was seen through by Li Xuan, who directly raised his leg and whipped Kocho Shinobu's waist.

Suddenly, Kocho Shinobu's whole body was knocked out.

She flipped several times in the air before landing steadily.

Her face was as gloomy as water, and even her smile was restrained, "Are you serious? Or, because you can become a ghost, you want to protect other ghosts?"

Li Xuan can become a ghost?

Hearing this, Tanjiro and Nezuko on the side were both amazed, but holding on to their trust in Li Xuan, they did not speak, and planned to ask again when they had the chance.

"Anyway, I'm here, you can't kill her." Li Xuan did not respond specifically, but made his meaning clear.

"Really..." Shinobu Kocho stood still, raised her Nichirin sword slightly, and said, "It is against the rules of the Demon Slayer Corps for members to attack each other, but you were the first to protect and stop me from killing demons, which goes against the mission of the Demon Slayer Corps, so my attack will be a legitimate act."

"If you have the ability, then give it a try."

"After more than a month of getting along, I can still understand that I am not your opponent." Shinobu Kocho said coldly, "So...

...I'm ready."

As she finished her words, a girl with a ponytail wearing a white cape and a Demon Slayer Corps uniform walked out from behind her.

The girl had a blank expression on her face and dull eyes, like a robot.

This is Kanao Kurihana, the disciple who accepted Shinobu Kocho's teachings and the stepson who will inherit her title of pillar in the future, a three-no girl.

"We may not be your opponent even if we work together, but I just need to hold you back and let Kanao kill the demon."

As Shinobu Kocho spoke, Kanao also drew the Nichirin sword from her waist.

"Then let's give it a try. "

Li Xuan still had that indifferent attitude, as if he was absolutely sure that he could protect Tanjiro and Nezuko behind him.

The two sides were immediately on the verge of a fight, and sparks seemed to burst out in their eyes.

Kohiko Shinobu insisted on killing demons, and she was even more determined to never give in to Li Xuan, who could turn into a demon and had the selfish intention of protecting demons.

And Li Xuan just followed his own ideas and stood on Tanjiro's side to prevent Nezuko from being killed.

The wind in the forest rustled, blowing the branches and leaves swaying.

A dark shadow suddenly flew from the sky, bringing a noisy sound.

"Send an order! Send an order!"

It was the crow raised by the Demon Slayer Corps, speaking human language in a harsh voice.

"A message came from the headquarters!"

"Capture Tanjiro and Nezuko, who is a demon! Bring them back to the headquarters! "

After the crow finished speaking, another one continued.

"Tanjiro, wearing a checkered coat! There's a wound on your forehead! The demon girl biting bamboo! Nezuko!"

"Bring it back! Bring it back!"

Hearing the crow's shout, Shinobu Kocho frowned, but still slowly put the Nichirin sword back into the scabbard, and Li Xuan standing opposite did the same.

"Kanao, put away the sword."

Shinobu Kocho called to Kanao who was still holding the sword.

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Kanao nodded expressionlessly and put the sword back.

"Inosuke, Inosuke! Are you okay?" Tanjiro had time to worry about Hashibira Inosuke who was unconscious beside him.

"He just fainted, but he was still seriously injured. "Li Xuan grabbed Inosuke and threw him to Kocho Shinobu, "He is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, give him some treatment."

Kocho Shinobu frowned again, but still caught Inosuke and fed him some unknown medicine.

Inosuke's pale face under the hood became a little rosy. Although he still didn't wake up, his condition was obviously much better.

Then Inosuke was handed over to the "Hidden" team of the Demon Slayer Corps who came later to receive better treatment.
