A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Chapter 121 Keep a Low Profile When Possible

In this generation of Demon Slayer Corps, the strongest Pillars are the Wind Pillar and the Stone Pillar.

The former could unleash sword energy even before contacting Taiyi, while the latter could unleash fist energy.

Although the demon he just blasted away was just an ordinary-level man-eating demon, he would normally kill it without much effort.

The key issue is that there is a difference between not expending much effort and not expending any effort at all.

It didn't take much effort, which means that the power level is still at the same level, only that the strength is higher than the opponent's.

If it requires absolutely no effort, then the two are simply not on the same level!

"This is simply...unbelievable!"

"Ebisu Yukiri Maru muttered to himself."

How could I improve so much just from meeting him once and listening to Taiyi's theory?

At first, he thought he was receiving guidance from Taiyi, but now it seems that this is not guidance at all, but enlightenment!

"No, I must report this situation to the lord immediately!"

Ebo Amikirimaru's eyes burned with fervor. He thought that if all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps could improve so much, they might be able to completely wipe out all the man-eating demons in their generation!

Day two.

Three Peaks Mountain.

Less than two months later, the pillars gathered again for the second pillars meeting.

However, compared to the last time they met, everyone except for Mizuhashi Nijo Tadatoshi, who had lost an arm, was in good health.

Now, the Sakura Pillar has become blind, and although the Lightning Pillar's hands have been reattached, they can no longer grip the sword tightly and use Thunder Breathing as they used to.

"Hey, don't make the atmosphere so dull. Isn't our lord going to announce some incredibly good news today?"

Nijo Tadashi, who had already stepped down from the front line, touched his face with one hand, and was the first to turn his serious expression into one of excitement.

"Lord Nijo Tadatoshi is absolutely right, everyone. The Demon Slayer Corps is about to make a major leap forward because Lord Taichi has offered to provide free guidance to everyone."

Despite being in pain, Keiya Ubuyashiki, whose face was half covered in scars, spoke to everyone in a gentle tone.

"Everyone?"

Raizo raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat incredulous.

Even the legendary sword saint couldn't train every disciple to become a sword master.

Even the Demon Slayer Corps' trainers can train more than ten Demon Slayer Corps members every year, but over the years, very few have reached the level of Pillars.

"Let us demonstrate it for you."

After exchanging glances and nodding, Ebo Amegiri Maru and Ishiyama Daizen stood up first and made a gesture as if to draw their swords towards an open space.

Hiss~ Whoosh~

Clear breathing sounds rang out, and a breeze began to blow in the tranquil courtyard, all converging on Ebisu Amekirimaru's Nichirin Blade.

click!

A crisp sound of the sword being drawn rang out. No one could see how he drew his sword; they only saw a broad, cyan, arc-shaped sword aura, accompanied by a buzzing sound as it cut through the air, shoot straight into the sky.

At the same moment, Ishiyama Daishin, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly leaped up, aimed at the path of the sword energy, and unleashed a fist energy the size of a millstone.

boom!

The sword energy collided with the fist energy, creating a huge sound. The airflow that spread outward from the center bent all the trees in the courtyard.

"what?"

Rengoku Matsujuro and the others stared wide-eyed and gaped, looking on in astonishment at the effects of the two men's attacks.

What's going on? When did our Demon Slayer Corps become capable of such mythical attack effects?

The next second, the scene of Taiyi drawing his sword flashed through everyone's minds, and with this comparison, everyone regained their composure.

Hmm, not surprising. Lord Taiyi's sword energy can reach a thousand meters in an instant, cut through the dark clouds in the sky, and cleave the earth.

As Taiichi's good friends, it's probably normal for us to achieve similar results.

"My lord, what did you just say? That Lord Taiichi would be instructing all the Demon Slayer Corps members?"

"I regestrated!"

"Count me in!"

Even Raizo and Mai, who had lost their ability to fight, were infected by the fervent emotions of the others and expressed their desire to join in.

As Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, defeating demons is their sole purpose for existence. Unless all demons are extinct, they will never allow themselves to die in bed; they must die in battle against demons.

......

Taiyi's residence.

He was alone in the courtyard. Sakichi had gone to the market to buy soy sauce and miso, while Fuchi and the rest of the Yamada family had all left Edo.

"Hehe, looks like I've been sidelined."

Thinking of the news that A-Xia brought him yesterday, and the news that Shu-Xian came to say goodbye to him this morning, Tai-Yi realized that Tokugawa had only been quiet for two days before he started making moves again.

"Capture the bandit king, Yazadoribei?" Taiichi shook his head and began to mourn for the other party.

The Yamada family, having been implanted with a fake core, is no longer the same as before. If they were to face Azazuki Heibei now, they would probably crush him the moment they met.

However, capturing the king of thieves was his own mission, and also a promise he made to Aoki at the time.

As a result of the shogunate's suspicion, the job was instead assigned to Sugen by Mizuno Tadakuni.

"Is this an attempt to establish a new role model? The idea is good, but as for the result..."

Taiyi narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

To be honest, if I had to go again this time, I really would refuse!

As for why, it's because the cooldown period after using the Six Swords of Primordial Chaos on Paradise Island hasn't ended yet.

Although the upper limit of his essence and blood is increasing every day, the strength he can exert now is only at the level of 100 points.

Even so, I'm not really afraid.

Compared to the current levels of essence and qi, which have both exceeded 1500 points, 100 points is somewhat insufficient.

However, even with a 40x conversion, the Qi and Blood value can still instantly reach 4000.

If he were outside, apart from Upper Moon demons, there really aren't many martial arts masters currently active in the outside world who could defeat him.

But there are always exceptions, because for some reason, he suddenly thought of the male protagonist of Hell's Music—Galan's Eyebrow Pill.

Taiichi believes that Browmaru is just as strong as the Upper Moon Demon.

In the original story, Huameiwan was an indestructible being.

Fire, oil, oxen, or even knives could not harm him.

For example, when he was being subjected to the torture of being torn apart by an ox, he was able to pull the ox back with a single effort. That kind of strength is simply outrageous!

If an ordinary person were to cut his neck with a knife, the knife would break, and there wouldn't even be a white mark on his neck. How much would one have to practice their external martial arts to achieve that?

The problem is that he can also use the ninjutsu fire mage by burning fat.

But in Taiyi's opinion, how much fat could Huameiwan have? What she was burning was all true energy!

On Paradise Island, when Huameiwan first met Zhu Jin, even though he was unaware of the existence of Qi, he still managed to force Zhu Jin to use the Demon Corpse Release technique using his physical body.

"Judging by the strength of Huameiwan, it's probably hard to say who would win if they went up against Akaza."

Taiyi pondered to himself.

But no matter what, in ten more days, my cooldown period will be over.

This is a good opportunity to study the Daoist scriptures and breathing techniques, and also to implant fake Qi pills into all the Demon Slayer Corps members to accumulate Universal Points.

"Speaking of which, there have been quite a few demons appearing in Edo lately. Should I suggest that the Demon Slayer Corps slow down their killing?"

"Don't provoke them, or they'll send another Upper Moon..."
