From Demon Slayer, the sword is invincible

Chapter 162 It's Not Easy to Be a Junior Disciple

"Someone can come and save me!! I don't want to die... This is too scary... Brother, please come and save me!"

The yellow-haired boy, Zenitsu Agatsuma, was groping his way forward in the forest stealthily, shouting in fear.

"Zenitsu-kun, you'll easily attract ghosts if you scream like that!!"

"Ah!! What is that... Are you a human or a ghost? Please let me go... My meat was struck by lightning... It's burnt... It doesn't taste good!"

The sudden sound frightened Zenitsu so much that he sat down on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Hahahahaha, Zenitsu you are too timid! It's me, Tanjiro!" It turned out to be Tanjiro. He followed the figure here and thought someone was in danger. He didn't expect to see Zenitsu's funny appearance. He couldn't help laughing out loud.

The anger in my heart towards Zenitsu's previous rudeness towards Kanao also subsided a lot.

Zenitsu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Tanjiro, and he got up from the ground. "Tanjiro, you almost scared me to death! Why are you here?" Zenitsu patted the dirt off his body and wiped away his tears and asked.

Tanjiro pointed at Zenitsu and said, "Who told you to scream so miserably? I thought someone had seen a ghost, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect to see you."

Zenitsu felt warm in his heart after hearing this. He wiped away the tears from his eyes and said, "Thank you, this place is really terrible... I'm so worried that I will die here, Tanjiro... I won't fight with you for the woman... Can you come with me?"

Tanjiro scratched his head and asked in embarrassment: "Zenitsu-kun, if you are so scared, why did you come to participate in the final selection? This is a very dangerous thing that requires courage and strength."

Zenitsu saw that Tanjiro looked very serious and worried, and hesitated for a long time before hesitating: "Grandpa asked me to come, and my brother promised me that after I succeed... he would introduce me to beautiful girls."

Tanjiro was at a loss for words after hearing this. Can you imagine such a weird reason? How much he wants girls. No wonder this guy can't move his legs when he sees Kanao.

"Um, Zenitsu-kun, you kept calling me senior brother, senior brother. Who is your senior brother? He must be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps!!" Tanjiro had to change the subject and asked.

Zenitsu scratched his head and puffed out his chest proudly: "My senior brother is the sword pillar Feng Xiaodao! He is very powerful. He is the strongest person in the Demon Slayer Corps, the one who preached at the entrance before! What do you think, my senior brother is powerful, right? "

Tanjiro's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Zenitsu's senior brother was Mr. Xiaodao.

"Zenitsu-kun is actually Mr. Xiaodao's junior fellow apprentice. This, this is really surprising. Mr. Xiaodao is my benefactor!" Tanjiro said in surprise.

"I see, that's great." Zenitsu said with a smile, "Then it would be best if I could act together! We can be friends."

"Mr. Zenitsu, since you are Mr. Koto's junior apprentice, don't you know that Miss Kanao was also Mr. Koto's disciple?" Tanjiro asked.

“Ah? Oh my god… Senior must have seen me… No wonder he kicked me in here… Tanjiro, why didn’t you warn me!!”

Zenitsu cried and screamed, and hugged Tanjiro tightly.

"But, I didn't know you were Mr. Xiaodao's junior apprentice before?" Tanjiro said embarrassedly.

"I have been following Grandpa in my training, and my senior brother only came back once during the training, so I didn't know that Miss Kanao was my senior brother's disciple!"

Zenitsu explained with sniffles, and Tanjiro finally understood what was going on.

"Okay, stop yelling, let's act together!" Tanjiro softened his heart and accepted Zenitsu as a burden. He could easily be eaten by demons like this, and he was also Mr. Xiaodao's junior apprentice, so he had to help him out of both emotional and legal reasons.

"Really? That's great, Tanjiro, you're so nice, you are my benefactor!" Zenitsu jumped for joy when he saw that Tanjiro finally agreed.

Tanjiro looked into the distance, his fighting spirit ignited in his heart: "Well, Zenitsu-kun, let's work hard together!"

"Haha, I'm so lucky. I didn't expect to meet my target so soon!!"

A hoarse cry of excitement was suddenly heard, Tanjiro instantly drew his sword and took a defensive stance, and Zenitsu was so scared that he hid behind Tanjiro.

The visitor was none other than the red-eyed ghost who had been searching for prey. In reality, it was a body remotely controlled by Muzan himself.

"Such a strong smell, this is not an ordinary ghost, what should I do now?" Tanjiro thought to himself.

"Tanjiro, you are here too, so it's a good opportunity to get rid of you!" The red-eyed ghost suddenly said while looking at the pendant on Tanjiro's ear.

"Who the hell are you? How do you know my name?" Tanjiro asked in surprise.

The red-eyed ghost smiled calmly and said, "By the way, I wasn't like this before. This ugly body, how is your sister?"

As soon as these words came out, Tanjiro's pupils suddenly contracted.

"You, you are Muzan!!"

"It seems that you finally remembered. You were lucky last time. It won't be so easy for you to escape this time."

Tanjiro's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. It was Muzan. How could Muzan appear here? Although he hated Muzan for turning his sister Nezuko into a demon, he was no match for Muzan at this moment. What should he do?

"The yellow-haired boy behind, are you Feng Xiaodao's junior fellow apprentice?"

When Zenitsu was mentioned, his legs went limp and he sat on the ground in shock. He did not answer the red-eyed ghost's question but said with a frustrated and fearful look on his face:

"I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."

"It seems like that. If I can't kill Feng Xiaodao, then I'll use your blood to wash away the shame he brought to me!! You can blame it on the fact that you're Feng Xiaodao's junior fellow apprentice!"

Tanjiro had not expected that Muzan's target also included Zenitsu, and he did not know what to do. He could only tell himself secretly:

"Tanjiro, you must stay calm and don't mess up your breathing. By the way, this guy said it was a shell, so it must not be Muzan himself. So there is still a chance."

Water Breathing - First Form: Water Slash

Tanjiro suddenly stepped forward and swung the Nichirin Sword at the red-eyed demon, slashing it.

"Zenitsu-kun, run away quickly and send a signal for Mr. Feng Xiaodao to come over!!"

The red-eyed demon didn't expect Tanjiro to be so decisive. "You want to escape? I put so much thought into it and you actually want to run away? Today, both of you must die here."

After the Red-Eyed Ghost finished speaking, a bright red light appeared in his eyes. Zenitsu, who was sitting on the ground and had taken out the flare gun, froze in an instant.

"Oh no, there's something wrong with his eyes! He can't look directly at the red light!" Tanjiro immediately understood the abnormality of the red-eyed demon. "I remember Urokodaki said that some powerful demons can use a special technique called blood demon technique. I guess the red-eyed demon must be controlling humans through the red light of his eyes."

Thinking of this, Tanjiro closed his eyes instantly and concentrated all his energy on his ears and nose, trying to use his natural sense of smell and hearing to face the powerful enemy.

"You are so naive to think of fighting me with your eyes closed!"

After the red-eyed ghost finished speaking, he swung his powerful claws towards Tanjiro.
