Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Unlike Ruby and the others who could talk a lot about the surrounding environment, Weiss, who was born in a high position, had no experience of going to such places - maybe her father had been there himself, but she had definitely never been to a place like this, so she was a little panicked now.

"Weiss looks flustered~" Ruby said as she walked over to Weiss. "Don't be nervous, just act like normal."

"By the way, have you ever been to a place like this?"

Ruby's words made everyone on Team RWBY look at Zhang Yi.

"No." Zhang Yi said directly. "I have never been to either world."

"Come to think of it, given your status, this isn't necessary, right?" Yang said.

"It's not what you think." Zhang Yi said. "In some ways, O'Neill is even a little distressed about this..."

Just as Yang said, although Zhang Yi holds a high position in the entire human empire, as long as he is willing, I am afraid that the governors of every planet will rush to send people to him - this has happened once before.

"By the way, those giants don't seem to be interested in this either. Did they remove something in order to fight?"

"Ordinary Space Marines have targeted suppression of emotions, and the same is true for the Custodians," Zhang Yi said. "Stop here and concentrate."

"I'll repeat my goal: Through the hunting of the two demons from Upper Rank Land, we will test the damage of targeted toxins to high-level demons, and then decide on the follow-up plan."

"You should be very familiar with the information about Upper Moon Continent. You will complete the hunting operation on your own. The Imperial Guards and I will be responsible for guarding against other enemies that may appear."

"Do you have any other questions?"

. . . . . .

The last time Zhang Yi and others appeared, they also had a certain impact on the Demon Slayer Corps.

The Imperial Guards told the other [Pillars] and their lords everything that Tanjiro and the others had said.

The existence of Zhang Yi and others is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the entire Demon Slayer Corps - not only them, but other organizations are also hunting demons.

And judging from the strength they have demonstrated, some of them have overwhelming power over ghosts. But because of this, a new question arises - why don't they just deal with the man-eating ghosts directly?

Although the words of the Imperial Guards made the Demon Slayer Corps certain that this strange force had the same goal as them, their behavior made them feel puzzled.

Urokodaki Sakonji, Tanjiro's master and also the former "Water Pillar", put forward his own opinion - they are training demons, and the targets of the training are that group of young people (Ruby, Qiang and others).

This is undoubtedly a strange view. Although the Demon Slayer Corps also captures demons as a method of assessment for joining the team, they are just ordinary demons. The targets of these people are all the [Twelve Demon Moons]!

This statement undoubtedly once again exaggerated the Demon Slayer Corps' estimate of the strength of this unknown force, but a group of people led by the Wind Pillar believed that this was just nonsense and too exaggerated.

Because if what Urokodaki Sakonji said was true, it would mean that the efforts and sacrifices of the Demon Slayer Corps over so long would become ridiculous - their biggest threat is just a training object in the eyes of others.

The meeting came to a deadlock, and finally the Demon Slayer Corps' lord, Ubuyashiki Yoya, ended the meeting and hoped that everyone would talk to those young people or those giants if they had the chance.

[Sound Pillar] Tengen Uzui, after that meeting, was tasked with going to the Flower Street to investigate with Tanjiro and the others, and he also discovered Ruby and the others during the investigation.

Their investigation was not smooth, even though they had some intelligence, but as mentioned before, their appearance has led to changes in the plot.

Therefore, they could only wait until nightfall and let the target come out on his own.

Uzui Tengen, who had lost the clues he was supposed to get due to the appearance of Zhang Yi and others, saw Ruby and others who were in simple disguise on the roof at a glance.

And as he was about to make contact with it, a chill ran up his spine.

"What do you want to do, kid?"

Quietly and without anyone noticing, Zhang Yi appeared behind him and said.

As a [Pillar], Tengen Uzui's combat awareness made him ready to draw his sword at the first moment, but then he discovered that the weapon behind him was missing.

At this time, Zhang Yi was holding Uzui Tengen's weapon and spinning it, looking at the shocked [Sound Column].

"Actually, it was in our plan to contact the Demon Slayer Corps, but after some analysis, we came to the conclusion that you would not be of much use to us."

"Of course, this conclusion is rather one-sided. Your efforts and sacrifices are worthy of recognition." Zhang Yi said to the Sound Pillar. "You want to completely kill the Demon King Muzan, which is the same as our goal."

"But, I hope you won't do anything unnecessary, a guy with three wives who likes to show off."

Zhang Yi threw the weapon in his hand to Yuzui Tengen, and disappeared from his sight the moment he looked at the weapon in his hand.

. . . . . .

Relying on luck and his extraordinary sense of smell, Tanjiro rushed towards the location of Upper Six that he had detected.

But on the way, he heard the sound of metal clashing and explosions.

Bang--!

A woman wearing a kimono with several ribbons flying around her broke through the nearby wall and flew out, and then several spots of light exploded on her body.

boom! boom! boom!

The seemingly soft colorful ribbons actually showed unparalleled toughness at this moment, crossing in front of the woman to withstand the explosion.

Several icy spikes came and hit the intertwined colorful ribbons, covering them with a layer of frost, and then a large number of red petals appeared in the air.

brush--!

As a ghost, her extraordinary reaction speed meant that the blow did not cut off her head, but a diagonal wound still appeared on her chest.

Although the plot has changed and they don't have a nose like Tanjiro, with the help of high-tech equipment, they finally found the hunting Dakimaki.

They immediately launched a surprise attack on her, and the still confused Daki could only fight back in panic.

Unlike the immature Tanjiro in the original plot, the RWBY team, with targeted weapons and tacit cooperation, brought great trouble to Dakimaki, and he quickly fell into a disadvantage.

After being injured by Ruby, she immediately discovered that the wounds cut by these people could not heal normally!

Assassin Ruby spun the [Crescent Rose] in her hand and attacked her neck again, and the shadow of death enveloped her.

"elder brother!"

From the wound cut by Ruby, a humanoid with dark green hair emerged and looked at Ruby in the air.

Bang--!

The ghost that suddenly appeared threw a punch and smashed the nearby roof, but Ruby used the black ribbon that Black had wrapped around her waist to dodge the attack.

Perhaps Tanjiro, who is still watching the battle, doesn't understand what is happening, but Ruby and the others who have already known the relevant information in advance know that from now on, they are facing the real Upper Six!

431. Another Lesson

Suddenly, Jifutaro emerged from Dakimaki's body, interrupting the attack of Ruby and the others, and the two sides distanced themselves from each other.

"What's going on with that ghost? Why..." Tanjiro, who was seeing an upper-rank ghost for the second time, couldn't understand what was going on. He was unfamiliar with the upper-rank ghosts' powerful regeneration ability and immortality, which were different from ordinary ghosts.

"Daki and Kifutaro, these two together can be considered Upper Six." Yang said. "Both demons must be killed at the same time to truly kill them."

At this time, Jifutaro was checking the wound on his sister Daki's chest that was difficult to heal due to the poison, and comforting Daki who was obviously frightened.

"It's poisonous. I smell the scent of wisteria." said Jifutaro. "There aren't many toxins that can work on us..."

"Don't touch the wound! It hurts so much!"

"I was thinking, while the poison hasn't penetrated too deeply, dig out the flesh and blood affected by the poison, and the rest can regenerate." Jifu Taro said without any dissatisfaction with his sister's roar. "After all, I don't think these women have antidotes or anything."

"I can do it myself! Don't touch me!" said Daki. "Brother, kill them, and the people from the Demon Slayer Corps!"

"Especially them! These women attacked me without saying a word! Kill them! Peel off their faces!"

"Since it is my dear sister's request..."

Seeing the barely human-like Jifutaro looking at them, Ruby and the others couldn't help but tighten their weapons even though they were prepared.

"You are so young and beautiful, and your skills are rare..."

"This face must make you popular in many places... It's really annoying!"

"Just let me rip these pretty faces off!"

"careful!"

call out--!

Tanjiro had no idea how the attack came as a thick wall of ice rose up in front of them, then shattered the next moment, sending shards of ice flying everywhere.

"Follow the battle plan!"

Black, holding [Leaping Shadow Flying Silk], shot at Dakimaki with a gun, but was blocked by Jifutaro who was waving the flesh and blood sickle in his hand, and then he killed her.

Tanjiro, who wanted to go up to help, found that he could not keep up with Jifutaro's speed at all. Before he could react, the enemy came in front of Black, and slashed at her with the flesh sickle with a sharp bloody blade in his hand.

bite--!

However, when Jifutaro really swung down the sickle in his hand, he found that Black had disappeared from the spot, replaced by an ice statue, and his hand was stuck in the ice sculpture.

Black's outward force is a careful short-distance teleportation, leaving an afterimage in the same place. The type of afterimage varies depending on the type of crystal dust she uses.

Bang—boom!

Jifutaro was temporarily controlled, and Yang stepped forward and hit him in the left face with a punch, while firing a full-scale bullet at close range.

This attack directly shattered almost half of Jifutaro's head, but as an upper-rank, his extremely strong recovery ability and physical strength allowed him to immediately begin to recover with the remaining part.

Water Breathing·Water Slash!

DUANG!

Tanjiro finally seized the opportunity and slashed at Gitarou's neck, but the metallic sound indicated that he could not cut through it at all, just like when he attacked Akaza before.

"I'm ready! Spread out!"

Weiss' voice rang out, and Yang didn't wait for Tanjiro to react before pushing him away, and then distanced herself from Chifutaro.

Then an ice-blue magic circle appeared under his feet, and a huge ice flower appeared, freezing Jifutaro inside.

"We have him under control for now!" Weiss said, holding on to her sword to maintain the ice flower that was freezing Chifutaro. "Go and take care of the other one!"

At this time, everyone looked at the unknown Daki. She had not left yet, but had already torn off the flesh and blood affected by the poison.

She was well aware of her brother's strength, and she was somewhat shocked that he was being controlled like this.

But at the same time, he also came to a conclusion that he was no match for these people.

This team of brothers and sisters, both of whom are Upper Rank 6, have the ability that as long as one of them survives, the other will also survive. Jifutaro is just trapped now. As long as he can ensure that he does not die, he still has a chance.

Thinking of this, Daki planned to escape, but at this time a white-haired man appeared in front of her.

"Two ghosts? Both upper ranks? And this one is so weak?"

A red line appeared on Daki's neck, and then her head fell off and landed right in her hands.

The series of misfortunes that happened one after another caused Daki to collapse. She knelt on the ground and burst into tears just like in the original plot!

"Brother! Save me!"

Snap--!

In an instant, the ice flower that Weiss had spent a lot of effort to build to freeze Jifutaro was broken, and he rushed in front of Uzui Tengen almost in the blink of an eye.

Vampire Technique·Flying Blood Scythe!

After the previous battle with Ruby and others, Jifutaro no longer held back and attacked Uzui Tengen who was threatening Daki with almost all his strength.

DUANG－－!

Uzui Tengen was knocked away directly, and Jifutaro picked up Daki's head and put it back on her neck.

"This enemy is not easy to deal with." Jifu Taro once again comforted his sister. "If you don't pay attention, you will really be killed..."

"Go hide, Daki, I'll come find you once I've dealt with everything."

"I tried so hard, I..."

"I know, but now, be obedient." said the prostitute Futaro. "If you are not happy, go and eat a few people."

"Brother, I will take care of everything."

Once again, the strength of the Upper Ranks exceeded original expectations, but this time Ruby and the others had experience in dealing with it.

"Tanjiro." Ruby called out at this time. "Go chop off the other demon's head and keep the two separated."

He took a look at Jifutaro in front of him, then looked at Uzui Tengen who had flown away and disappeared, and finally chose to run towards the latter.

Jifutaro naturally would not watch the enemy run away from him, but he was soon stopped by a huge ice knight holding a tower shield.

"Annoying bugs!"

Relying on his powerful physical strength, he smashed the ice shield in front of him with one punch, but then the scattered ice dust attached to his body.

"!"

Rose petals appeared and Jifutaro immediately realized that something was wrong. He flipped in the air to avoid them and a wound appeared on his body.
