Chapter 16
After leaving the town, we walked on the country road and headed towards our destination.
Maybe the distance is too far.
From dawn to nightfall.
In this dark night, walking on the country road.
Facing the moonlight, Tanjiro sniffed and suddenly smelled the ghost's breath, and immediately stopped moving forward.
He pulled out the ajuramaru from his waist and looked around cautiously.
Lin Fan also reminded him through perception
"Tanjiro, there are three ghosts right in front of you ambushing you."
The words just fell.
Seeing Tanjiro's delay, the three ghosts walked out of the darkness on the roadside one after another.
They were three ghosts.
One of them was an extremely tall and fat ghost, as if he was in a sumo wrestling match. It stared at Tanjiro with its scarlet pupils, and drool was still flowing from the corner of its mouth.
"With the floral earrings on your ears, it seems that you are the ghost hunter that I want to kill. You are so alert and sensitive that you discovered us. Your meat must be delicious!"
Beside it was a man with a strange body crawling on the ground, with four eyes and a twisted and slippery tongue exposed.
It looked like a humanoid gecko!
It was seen licking its tongue without any concealment. The look of greed on his face said,"You damn fat man, get away from me, this prey is mine!"
"Do you want to die?!"
The sumo ghost did not show any weakness and asked coldly.
The two ghosts were on edge for a while.
The last female ghost not far away seemed to be much more rational. She curled her lips in disdain for these two guys who were fighting before the fight even started.
She scolded them harshly:
"Why are you two arguing? First, take down this ghost hunter and then discuss who belongs to him. What if he takes the opportunity to escape?!"
Both ghosts also thought it made sense.
The long-tongued ghost was the first to speak.
"Kill the ghost hunter first, then who gets the head will depend on their abilities!"
"Okay, let’s do it!"
The sumo ghost immediately agreed.
The female ghost looked at these two brainless guys and didn't even bother to talk nonsense to them.
"Change will come if it's too late, take action."
Having said that, the female ghost did not take action immediately.
On the contrary, the sumo ghost just walked forward blankly and raised his broad and strong arms.
Tanjiro's expression did not change when he saw this. Adjusting his breathing, he held the knife with one hand and rushed forward with force, and then jumped forward, water bursting out from the blade.
"Breath of Water - Type of Si - Strike the Tide!"
The sword slashed like a tidal wave.
Facing this sword, the sumo ghost was still so arrogant and arrogant before he realized the danger. He raised his hands to choke Tanjiro.
"Did he actually choose to charge head-on? You are so brave, watch me strangle you to death!"
It's a pity that the words just fell.
It only had time to see a flash of water in front of it, and its head had already separated from the body, fell to the ground and rolled several times.
This scene immediately shocked the other two ghosts.
Especially the long-tongued ghost. Zhuang even turned around and ran away, joking.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the sumo ghost was not much different from it in strength. If it had been slashed just now, it would definitely die under that sword.
Only a fool would continue to stay. Here.
But Tanjiro landed, holding the sword in both hands and spinning in strange steps,"Breath of Water - Three Forms - Flowing Dance!""
In an instant, he caught up with the long-tongued ghost. He held the sword in both hands and slashed several times in an instant. The long-tongued ghost didn't even have time to scream, and his body had been cut into several sections.
After doing all this,
Tanjiro temporarily stopped moving, and some He looked at his sword-holding hands in surprise. He didn't expect that his strength had improved so much. This was all thanks to Aju Luomaru's ability. Tanjiro was happy and a little sad at the changes in his body. After all, his improvement in strength was obtained by these ghosts with their lives. He looked at the bodies of the two ghosts that were about to disappear and murmured softly.
"thank you all."
That female ghost can't handle this.
Is there something wrong with this kid? He kills others and then rides on his horse to say thank you?!
Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh at Tanjiro's kindness when he saw this scene.
After seeing it with his own eyes, he had to say This is really a gentle person to the core, but even with emotion, Lin Fan did not forget to remind him:
"Don't be sad, there is a female ghost there."
Hearing this,
Tanjiro also came back to his senses and turned to face the female ghost.
The female ghost also looked at Tanjiro squarely. The two ghosts just now also made it clear to them.
In close combat, this ghost hunter is definitely not it. It can be dealt with.
He raised his slender right hand and said.
"In order to gain the appreciation of that adult, please die here!"
With a wave of his hand, a drop of inconspicuous blood was sprayed out, heading straight for Tanjiro.
"Before you die, say your name, ghost hunter!"And the female ghost was still talking to herself, trying to distract Tanjiro.
Tanjiro was focused at this moment and immediately discovered the drop of blood.
Although he didn't know what it did, he still had to raise the knife to his body. He was always ready to deal with emergencies.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred, and the blood suddenly accelerated like a bullet and hit Tanjiro.
This sudden change was unexpected. Not in time.
Fortunately, Tanjiro was prepared and immediately put the knife in front of him, causing sparks to collide with the blood, making a sound of gold and iron colliding.
"boom!"
As the voice fell, Tanjiro blocked the fatal drop of blood and felt his slightly numb hands, which was enough to prove the horror of the blood.
He couldn't help but think to himself
"It's so scary. If I hadn't been prepared just now, that drop of blood might have killed me."
Lin Fan is very self-aware when encountering a ghost like this without any information.
It's up to you, Tanjiro!
That's what he said, but Lin Fan still used ghost power to strengthen Tanjiro.
Looking at the other side, the female ghost suddenly looked ugly when she saw that the sneak attack failed! She cursed secretly, raised her left hand and tore a hideous wound on her right arm. The ground spreads forward
"The blood ghost technique - blood rain that destroys life!"
All this blood rushed towards Tanjiro at an extremely fast speed.
Faced with this dense blood,
Tanjiro hurriedly dodged, holding a knife with one hand to resist the rain of blood, but even so, there was still blood, breaking through the defense.
Falling.
Fortunately, even if the speed is fast enough, the blood itself is not strong enough to be fatal, but the pain is real, and even Tanjiro is hurt. Take a breath.
