Chapter 66 When Master Xuelu Yuhu returned , Bo Yezhu was ...​​​​​​

When the real person came back , Bo Yezhu was looking at the red umbrella in the room . The young man had his head lowered and was much closer than usual .

" What are you researching ? " Zhenren walked in .

" Ah , you 're back , " Bo Ye Zhu looked up and smiled at him , saying , " The clan leader has drawn something new , but it 's not in the latest turn . I 'm trying to see which turn he 's drawn it in . "

After all, he is not the " Son of God " with special blood , so the old patriarch can only take advantage of loopholes .

The real person came over , took a look , pointed at the umbrella and said , " Did he paint it directly on it ? "

Bo Ye Zhu : ?

He closed the umbrella again , and sure enough , he found a clumsy stick figure on the dense folds of the umbrella . He was silent for a moment .

Zhenren showed a faint smile on his face . Bo Yezhu glanced at him and carefully recounted the content of his conversation with Tianyin just now .

When he heard something from somewhere , the real person 's smile disappeared .

" I planned to go and guard the lord , but Madam Tianyin didn't seem to agree . " Bo Yezhu said with regret .

He stood up and put the umbrella back to where it usually was . It tilted a little and rested on the boxes stacked next to it .

" Actually , everyone can just go and fight without worry . The clan leader 's drawing is not correct . I am the only one who can monitor the lord 's condition . " Thinking of the scribbled little man , Bo Yezhu felt a headache .

The real person did n't respond .

He didn't want to be separated from Bo Ye Zhu , but what Bo Ye Zhu said was not wrong . If it was the Bo Ye family that temporarily suspended the curse on the lord , then Bo Ye Zhu , as a member of the Bo Ye family, was the most suitable person to take care of the lord .

And Bo Ye Zhu is not without the ability to fight back .

The curse spirit let out a long sigh and said , " There's still a year left , no need to rush . "

Bo Yezhu thought about it for a while and did n't say anything . He just changed the subject and asked him if everything was okay at home .

The real person nodded .

With a relatively specific number for the final battle with the demons , the Demon Slayer Corps began a long and rigorous training , and the lower -level swordsmen were no exception .

The other swordsmen did not have access to more information , but they also knew that the upper-rank demons appeared one after another , and the gap in strength became a huge rock pressing down on their heads .

They want revenge , but they don't want to be cannon fodder and die casually .

The interval between the inspection period and the training period has been shortened . It used to be rotated every quarter , but now it is rotated every month .

The swordsmen go out for patrol once a month and return to their respective bases for training the next month .

When the seasons change , the swordsmen are reassigned to their superiors and arrive at the bases of other pillars to continue training .

Physical strengthening and increasing experience in fighting ghosts are intertwined .​​​​​

Half a month after Urobe Nagisa returned to the headquarters , Yugoku brought news that Upper Six had been killed .

For the first time in hundreds of years , the Upper Moons met their end at the hands of the Demon Slayer Corps .

Those vague prophecies are gradually becoming reality .​​​

The Sound Pillar was injured and needed to recuperate for at least a year , so he might as well stay at the headquarters to train the swordsmen .

Bo Ye Zhu and Zhen Zhen 's daily routine is still to go out to hunt ghosts, or patrol around the headquarters to ensure the secrecy and safety of the headquarters ' location .

On a cold and windy night in late autumn , near dawn , they discovered a shadowy creature that could perform vampire - like skills . It was very fast and could spit out flames .

But the cannibal it was chasing was not a pushover either . After a desperate fight , the sky turned pale . By the time the cannibal swallowed the black shadow into its stomach , it was too late to avoid the sunlight .

The first ray of morning light fell on the cannibal , but it did not turn into ashes instantly .

Signs of struggle could be seen in the cannibal 's stomach . It held on there tightly and looked up blankly .

Yes , the sunlight fell on the ghost , and although it was still burning and painful , it was not burned out immediately .

Bo Ye Zhu frowned , raised the Sun Wheel Sword , and his figure flashed past . The cannibal was immersed in shock and had no idea that danger was approaching .​​

The head fell to the ground , and in just a moment under the sunlight , it completely turned into a filth , along with the black shadow that was swallowed by it .

The real person came out .

" Can you see the sun if you swallow those things ? " Bo Ye Zhu said softly .

" It seems to delay the damage caused by the sun . After the head is chopped off , the speed of destruction becomes faster . " The real person frowned .

It's just drinking poison to quench thirst .

However, no one can predict how much impact the battle will have if the sun cannot destroy the ghosts in the first place .

Winter is here .

The nights became longer and fewer people went out , but those who lived in the mountains and forests were still in great danger . For example , the Kamado family was robbed by ghosts .​

Bo Yezhu and Zhenren 's mission is still to patrol and hunt ghosts . During the heavy snow , even the crows find it difficult to survey the situation ahead .

In the silver-gray world , two red figures were walking on the snowy road in the mountain stream .

They have to patrol this area again before the heavy snow closes the mountain , and try to find the hiding evil ghost . The crow reported the ghost 's traces a few days ago , but due to the bad weather , they did not find the ghost the first time they went out . Tonight is the last time .

The light from the lanterns was bright , and the snow had stopped for the night , so they decided to make another trip .

There were traces of snow on their red robes . In order to make it easier to find them , both of them were dressed in red . Uroba Nagisa 's Sun Blade was hanging at his waist . He held a red umbrella with one hand , and the real person beside him held a lantern , lighting up the road ahead for more than one meter .

This mountain road leads to a small village in the mountains . Although it is called a village , there are actually only a few households , probably about a dozen people . It is quite attractive in the eyes of ghosts .

Before, because the Demon Slayer Corps often patrolled here , everything was peaceful .

This autumn and winter , ghosts began to appear frequently again after a period of silence .​​

According to convention , the Demon Slayer Corps will send out additional swordsmen to kill demons .

However, the Demon Slayer Corps is currently gathering its members for training , and the only people who can kill demons are the pillars and some A-class swordsmen .

" Should we recruit a new group of swordsmen in the spring ? " Bo Ye Zhu 's voice was clear , but a little blurred by the cold wind blowing through the mountains .

The Immortal nodded . " That was originally the plan , but Madam Tianyin seems a little hesitant . "

Maybe he saw something in the prophecy .​

Bo Yezhu pondered . After all , his past memories could only be used as a reference and could never be taken as the standard . Tianyin was the only one who truly possessed the ability to predict , and the clan leader also relied on various methods to deduce .

They walked to a high point and looked down . There were several families , about seven or eight houses , at the foot of the mountain . All of them had lights on , and the warm yellow candlelight shone through the window paper and fell on the snow- white ground .

The silhouette of a crow passed through the surrounding woods .

" There is indeed a ghostly aura . " The real person nodded .

" Shall we go down and look for it now ? " Bo Yezhu glanced at the path not far away that led to the foot of the mountain below .

" Let's go down and look for it first . "

Two figures walked down the path . The path was a little slippery due to the accumulation of snow . The real person walked steadily and held on to Bo Yezhu tightly , reminding him to pay attention to his steps .

Let him guide the way forward .

The path is not long . When it reaches the foot of the mountain , there is a small forest . With the arrival of winter , all the leaves on the trees have fallen off . In the gray moonlight , the trees stand alone , with their roots covered with snow .

After walking for a while , the immortal stopped and his eyes became fierce .

Boyezhu looked up and saw a pot among the trees .​​

The moment he saw the pot , screams were heard from a house not far away . Several twisted fish -shaped shadows fell on the window paper , and blood splattered .

Upper fifth , Jade Pot —

" Ah , I did n't expect the Demon Slayer Corps to show up . They 'll be Master Gyotsubo 's prey tonight too — why you guys ?! "

Yu Hu's grinning voice came from the pot , muffled . As he spoke , his body emerged . On his strange face , there was an eyeball held in his teeth , and the word " Wu " was engraved on it .

When he saw the Demon Slayer swordsman whose way he had blocked , his wild laughter stopped abruptly .​

" You take life so lightly . " Bo Ye Zhu murmured , narrowing his orange eyes .

The real person raised his hand and hooked his fingertips : " Come on . "

The red umbrella was pulled away , and Boye Zhu held the umbrella with one hand , moving flexibly in the woods . With the other hand , he drew out the Sun Wheel Sword , a cold light flashed , and he fluttered in red clothes , and in a blink of an eye he arrived in front of the houses .

The fish-shaped evil ghost was chasing the fleeing humans when it saw a red figure coming . Before its dull brain could react , its head was chopped off . Its neck was originally thick , but under the blade , it was like a piece of tofu , without any hesitation .

The silver-haired young man held the knife in one hand and dealt with these cannibals at an extremely fast speed . The red umbrella was still covering his head . He did not look at the shivering ordinary people , but came to the last room .

The door was locked , and the ordinary person behind him said something in a trembling voice . Bo Yezhu glanced around , probably saying the name of the person inside .

He raised his foot and kicked the door open .

Several evil spirits seemed to have been waiting for a long time , and as soon as the door opened , they pounced on us .

Bo Yezhu quickly stepped back a few steps , flipped his wrist , and a bright white flame covered the blade . He slashed forward , cutting the bodies of the ogres into two .​

Thick blood dripped from the tip of the knife , staining the snow beneath their feet red .

After being half -eaten by the fish- shaped ghost , the mutated human stared upwards with wide eyes .

The bulging eyeballs of some of them were about to pop out . Bo Ye Zhu pursed his lips , flashed the tip of the knife , and chopped off their heads .

" Ah ! — You killed my son — " the ordinary person behind him screamed .​​

A few snowflakes fell on the red umbrella .

Bo Ye Zhu turned around , his orange- yellow eyes reflecting the frightened and resentful faces of ordinary people . Some people pulled the woman , while others looked at him with hatred .

He smiled and approached them with the bloody Nichirin sword in hand .​​​

There was no sound at all . Everyone was silent , looking at the Sun Blade in his hand in fear .

Bo Yezhu squatted down and looked at the woman tenderly : " Tell me , which one is your son ? "​

" Your son ate your husband . "​​​

He turned around and looked at the pile of four and five yuan coins .

" They 've been ghosts for two days , and you 've been hiding in your room , have n't you ? "

He stood up , shook his Sun Blade , and no longer looked at the pale- faced woman . Holding a red umbrella , he looked at the others and said calmly , " If you don't want to die , do n't go near those trees over there . "

There were continuous noises coming from that direction , and those people shuddered , not even having the courage to look back .

Bo Yezhu raised his umbrella , held the knife , and walked towards the woods .

" You , you have to pay for their lives !! " The woman lying on the ground , with strength coming from nowhere , struggled to stand up and suddenly pounced towards Bo Yezhu 's figure .

The young man in red robe was tall and slender , and turned his face to the side . The woman was too slow .

Slow enough for him to dodge easily .

But an ordinary person who goes crazy is really troublesome .

Should he take action against the ordinary people he rescues ?

His orange - yellow eyes flickered , but Bo Yezhu didn't move at all , as if he was thinking about what to do .
