Chapter 42 : Breaking the curse of Ubuyashiki and going to Butterfly House , the injured are actually not ...

When we got to Butterfly House , we found that there weren't many injured people .

After all, most of them died rather than were injured .

The doctor carefully applied medicine to the bruises on Bo Yezhu 's body . Zhenren sat aside with a sinister look in his eyes , and he couldn't help but become nervous .

Murata was there too . He was more seriously injured and was lying on the bed . Perhaps he knew that Zhenren would n't do anything with Bo Ye Zhu around , so he was talking to Bo Ye Zhu bravely .

" A group of ghosts suddenly appeared in the middle of the night . Luckily , you dealt with most of them . Lord Insect Pillar said they were n't ghosts from Nada Spider Mountain , and no one knows where they came from . "

Bo Ye Zhu smiled embarrassedly .​​

" Speaking of which, that Gui - level swordsman actually managed to deal with the terrifying power of the Lower Moon . " Murata sighed as he recalled what happened last night .

As he spoke , although there was a real person sitting as still as a mountain between him and Bo Yezhu , there was still no difficulty in communication .

Just as he finished speaking , three stretchers were carried in from outside , and Yin carried the three teenagers onto the beds .

When Bo Yezhu took a look , he found that they were all people he knew . One of them had a ghost sister , one he had met once at Teng Xishan , and the other was a pig - headed boy who he could hardly forget .

By the way, why is Inosuke still wearing a hood ?

Zhenren didn't care about the person carried in at all . He kept staring at Bo Yezhu until the doctor finished applying the ointment on the last bruise . Before Bo Yezhu could react , Zhenren put clothes on him .

The young man 's body was immediately covered .

The doctor looked at Zhenren , hesitant to speak , but finally said , " Mr. Zhenren, do you need treatment ? "

The real person shook his head , he couldn't use human treatment methods .

Yin called to the doctor : " This swordsman has been poisoned . Find an antidote quickly . "

The doctor quickly found the antidote from the cabinet behind him and trotted towards the poisoned swordsman to check on his condition .

The real person tugged at Hōba Nagisa 's sleeve . Hōba Nagisa understood what he meant and stood up to say goodbye to Murata . " We're going back to headquarters first . We still have to report on the mission . Goodbye , Murata . "

" Ah , see you next time ! "

Leaving the Butterfly House , they walked towards the headquarters . It was still early morning , and Bo Yezhu told Zhenren to go wash up first , otherwise it would be inappropriate to go to see the lord in a dirty state .

Although there were no visible wounds on the man's body , his aura was clearly weakened . Bo Ye Zhu worriedly held the man 's hand and asked , " Do you want to rest ? "

The curse spirit shook his head and said gently , " It's alright . Go wash up first . I have something to report to the lord later . "

Bo Yezhu still had medicine on him , so he just went back to change into clean clothes . Zhenren took the clothes to the bathroom and simply washed the blood stains on his skin in the butterfly house . He looked normal .

Waiting for the real person in the room , Bo Yezhu stared at the mirror in a daze . The young man in the mirror had a dazed expression , with obvious fatigue between his eyebrows . He came to his senses and subconsciously smoothed the wrinkles between his eyebrows .

As soon as I raised my hand and moved a certain muscle , I immediately started to feel sore .

Bo Yezhu let out a light " hiss " and put down his hand . He smelled of medicine all over his body . The doctor said that the application would have to last at least three hours . After they came back from seeing the lord , they would go to the restaurant for breakfast and it would be almost time for them to take a shower .

He sighed , feeling unwell .​​​​​

The real person came back not long after , having changed his clothes . He looked the same as usual , but his face was obviously paler .

The two men walked outside , and Zhenren asked him if he wanted to have breakfast first .

Uroba Nagisa shook his head . Although the Water Pillar and the Insect Pillar went to support last night , they and Murata were the only few swordsmen who stayed in Nata Spider Mountain the whole time , so they must report to the lord .

Murata is still lying in the butterfly house , and the other three young swordsmen seem to have been seriously injured , so they are the only ones left .

The familiar path leads to the house where the lord receives guests . After passing the flowers , you can see Ubuyashiki Tenon sitting under the eaves , drying something .

There were two little girls with white hair sitting next to her. Bo Yezhu could n't tell the lord 's children apart and always felt that they looked exactly the same .

" Lady Tianyin . " Bo Yezhu greeted her .​​​

Ubuyashiki Amane smiled and said , " Thank you for your hard work . The lord is waiting for you inside . "

She tilted her head , and Usoba Nagisa and the other person went into the corridor . At a glance, they saw the black - haired Ubuyashiki Teriyaki standing in front of a room , and they knew their destination .

The black-haired child nodded at them and opened the door .

Usugaba Nagisa walked in . Ubuyashiki Kōya was sitting in the main seat , with a backrest behind him . When he saw them coming , he smiled and said , " Please sit down . "

As they sat down , Ubuyashiki Kōya calmly recounted the events of the previous night : " The demon at Mount Nadagumo is a Lower Moon Five . The Demon Slayer Corps lost nine swordsmen , and the Twelve Moon Demon has n't appeared in quite some time . "

He paused , speaking so long in one breath , and his face turned even paler .

But soon , he continued , " But Giyuu told me that he noticed there were n't just Lower-rank demons at Natagumo Mountain last night . He suspected Upper -rank demons were there as well , but when they went there , they only saw Lower-rank demons . "

The master placed his hands on his knees , his brows lowered , and said , " Yes , last night I fought Upper Rank Two and Upper Rank Five . "

Bo Ye Zhu's pupils shrank and she turned her head to look at him .

It turns out that there was more than one upper moon coming last night ?

Ubuyashiki Yoya also leaned forward slightly , staring in the direction of the real person . Although he could n't see his appearance clearly , he was still looking at the real person 's position accurately .

" Upper Rank Two , Douma , your blood demon technique is ice - based . The attack contains toxins , which will greatly hinder your breathing technique . "

The real person spoke calmly . If he was n't a cursed spirit , he would have little chance of winning against Douma .

Ubuyashiki Kōya pursed his lips , and the blood demon technique containing toxins could melt the ice and let it float in the air , which was a perfect counter to the breathing swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps .

He clenched his palms , closed his eyes , and continued , " I understand . "​​​

The real person tapped his knee with his fingertips , recalling the events of last night , his brow furrowed slightly . " Also, Upper Five , Jade Pot , came last night . He can appear in various pot -shaped objects , and the ghosts he creates retain many of the characteristics of fish creatures . If I remember correctly , there's also a second form . "

" I did n't see his second form when we fought last night . "

The two ghosts were unexpectedly cautious and did not give him the chance to touch them .

The real person thought about it and told Yu Hu 's other blood ghost techniques again . He did n't remember much , and he didn't use all of Yu Hu's moves during the fight last night .

He was only puzzled by one thing : " Muzan actually allowed two Upper Ranks to act simultaneously ... "

" This is the first time in all these years that the Onifang are this agitated . " Ubuyashiki Yoya glanced sideways at the scenery outside , his tone slowing down . " I have a feeling that Ubuyashiki and Muzan 's curse will end in my hands . "​

A smile curved his lips . He turned around , coughed a few times quickly , and said " I 'm sorry " softly before continuing slowly , " Xiao Ya reported to me last night that Zhu 's level should be increased . Take a break for the next two days . The missions you 'll be taking on will be Quasi- A -level and above . "

A pitch-black crow suddenly flew over , stood in the corridor outside the door , and looked solemnly into the house .

" Eh ? " Bo Ye Zhu opened his eyes wide , and then heard the crow shout : " Bo Ye Zhu - promoted to Class C swordsman - "

Class C ! Bo Ye Zhu was a little caught off guard and stammered , " Ah , me , me ? "

" Yes , Jiao Ya reported to me that Azhu has already mastered the Breathing Sword Technique , a sword technique that has never been recorded before . "

Breathing Sword Technique … Bo Yezhu looked down at his palm . His hand , now bandaged , was only covered with two layers of bandages . The wound was slowly healing , and the color of the medicine was faintly visible .​

Yes , when he swung the knife , the heavy blade became very light , like a part of his body . The ghost he saw was getting slower and slower , and its obvious weakness was a black dot on the white paper . He only needed to send the blade into that black dot .

" I opened the stripes . "

The words were soft , but they were like thunder . Ubuyashiki Kōya could no longer conceal the shock on his face . He looked in the direction of the young man's voice and said in a somewhat obscure voice , " Do you know ... what it means to activate the markings ? "

Bo Ye Zhu looked up . " I heard that swordsmen in the past opened the Mark at the cost of their lives , and no one could live past the age of twenty- five , but— "

The Immortal took over his unfinished words : " I hereby pledge the weight of my only special -grade cursed spirit soul to continue Azhu 's soul . "

Outside , Ubuyashiki Tenon was holding a tray , steam rising from the tea . She looked at the two people 's calm faces , her eyes fluttering slightly , but quickly returning to her usual expression . She said softly , " I made some tea . Please enjoy . "

She looked at Bo Yezhu , hesitated , said nothing , and left quietly .​​​​​

Ubuyashiki Yoya took a breath and continued to ask about Ubuyashiki 's swordsmanship .​​​​​​

He needed to know which sword technique Bo Ye Zhu 's sword technique was derived from .

Bo Ye Zhu hesitated for a moment before saying , " I can perform a total of six sword techniques , but half of them incorporate the power of the real person , a power called cursed power . "

He felt that his breathing method did not fall into the category of primary breathing methods .

Ubuyashiki Yoya pondered for a moment , then stopped worrying . Tianyin walked in and bowed . " You should get some rest . After all , you didn't get any rest all night last night . "

Ubuyashiki Kōya , fully aware of his own physical condition , nodded and looked at Usugaba Nagisa . " Thank you for your report . I 'll have the others sort it out . This is a significant discovery . It's time to update the information on the twelve crescent moons . "

Ubuyashiki Tenon saw Hōba Nagisa off . After exiting the corridor , she called out to Hōba Nagisa : " Though my memory is a little hazy , I remember that it 's impossible for the Hōba family to cultivate the Breathing Sword Technique ... No , to be more precise , it 's a curse similar to the Ubuyashiki curse . The Hōba family does n't allow the emergence of a Breathing Swordsman . "

Some grudges are really old , but the Usui family has been indifferent to the Demon Slayer Corps for generations , but they are on good terms with the Kamikaze family , which is married to the Ubuyashiki family .

Bo Ye Zhu looked at Tian Yin , who had a slightly worried look in her eyes , and smiled . " It 's just a rule from our ancestors , not a curse . Besides , breaking the curse was the Bo Ye family 's mission thousands of years ago . "

" Mrs. Tianyin , have you ever considered asking the Uroha family to break the curse on Ubuyashiki ? "​​

Ubuyashiki Amane stared at him . " Some priests we 've been friends with have offered to help the Kamigō family , but without exception , they 've failed . "

“ They are not me . ”

Tianyin 's fingers tightened . She paused , but without any expression of joy , she simply said , " I 'll mention this to the lord . "

She bowed solemnly .​

Walking down the path they had come from , the Immortal frowned and asked him , " Is there any other way to break the curse ? "

Bo Yezhu looked at the road ahead , lined with flower bushes . Autumn had n't arrived yet , but the vibrant colors were a beautiful sight . He curled his lips and said casually , " All we need to do is transfer the curse from our bloodline . After much thought , I'm the most suitable . I 'm the only one left in my lineage . "

He said : " But they won't agree to it . "

How could Tianyin , who came from the Shenli family , not have heard of the method used by the Boye people hundreds of years ago to break the Ubuyashiki curse ?
