'The speed is so fast, the cutting distance is shortened in an instant. Oops, I don't even have time to defend...'

Nervous sweat broke out on the hand ghost's forehead, and he finally controlled the arms wrapped around his neck to tighten.

‘It doesn’t matter, my neck is very hard, this guy can’t stop cutting! After he failed to cut off my neck, I was able to explode and crush his head in an instant! ! ’

As if there was a scene in his mind of this young man having his head (dog head) crushed by him, the hand ghost's cross-shaped eyes shrank sharply at this moment.

The Hand Ghost, whose eyes were slightly narrowed by the dazzling light, fell into extreme tension and suddenly seemed to see a familiar figure, that was...

Lin Taki——!!!

The blue water flow cut off the hand ghost's arm protecting its neck as the girl swung it, and Xia Qing's golden blade that followed completely ignored its hard skin and cut it off without any hindrance.

Stab————!

The sword flashed and the ground touched his face!

The head rolled down several meters on the ground like a basketball. The body standing on the spot only shed a little blood for a moment, and Xia Qing had already returned the long knife to its sheath and landed on the ground.

And the hand ghost's head, which was gradually turning into dust and dissipating, watched helplessly as his body dissipated, and his pupils, which were dilated to the limit, were filled with ferocious bloodshot eyes.

‘Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn! ! dying! ! ’

The body is slowly falling apart and there is no way to stop it.

Everything in his sight became blurred. In the eyes of the hand ghost, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in absolute darkness...

A little boy covered his face and cried.

Brother, I am alone in the dark night... I am so scared... Why did I kill my brother... I obviously didn't want to do this at all, why couldn't I stop myself...?

At this time, a familiar figure appeared in front of the little boy, wearing a kimono and holding a lantern that glowed orange, lighting up the night.

The little boy stepped forward and quickly followed the man's back.

Brother! Brother! Hold my hand!

The man turned around and said with a gentle smile.

I can't help it, you are always so timid.

Then, she held his little hand.

The two figures walked slowly towards the home that was faintly glowing...

Looking at the land where Hand Ghost's body had completely turned into wind and dissipated, Xia Qing took a deep breath.

Ahhh... I always have a tangled feeling...

Most of these ordinary ghosts have lost their humanity after becoming humans. It is basically impossible to maintain their original selves.

And this hand ghost who was killed by his own hands was just an ordinary human child at first.

It's just that after being turned into a ghost, his consciousness couldn't resist the blood of Onibatsuji Mumei, and he eventually became a ghost completely.

At this time, you can probably understand the reason why Tanjiro was completely unable to feel happy after killing the ghosts in the anime, because all ghosts were originally humans, not to mention that many of them were once kind-hearted humans.

This kind of ambivalence can easily affect decision-making.

However, Kamado Tanjiro is still a swordsman who prepares for the [Thou Pillar]. Even though he is very Asashi at heart, he is not an indecisive person.

While Xia Qing was thinking about these things, a girl named Zhen Shen walked up to Xia Qing. She raised her face slightly and stared at Xia Qing with a pair of glazed eyes, as if she was exhausted from the battle just now. Much, the girl's breathing was a little rapid, and her chest was rising and falling.

that……

Xia Qing turned to look at her.

What's wrong?

The girl took a deep breath at this moment, and then lowered her body to Xia Qing and bowed.

Thank you for saving me just now!

Xia Qing was stunned for a moment at the girl's sudden thanks, and then nodded with a smile.

Ah...well, you're welcome.

I will definitely return this life-saving grace to you in the future... By the way, my name is Zhen Shang. What about you...?

There was a faint smile on the girl's face at this moment, and the sound of water flowing through her heart was comforting.

My name is Xia Qing. As for the breathing method, you must already know it through the battle just now.

Well... Thunder Breathing is known as the second most difficult breathing method to learn, but the Water Breathing taught to me by Lintaki-sensei is no worse than yours!

The girl who was extremely confident in her teacher straightened her flat chest and said with a smile.

There is no survival of the fittest among the breathing methods. As long as you have enough qualifications, even the lowest branches can reach the peak.

Although once you reach the peak, it's hard to make any progress.

Xia Qing thought so.

Chapter 22 Passed the selection! (3/4)

in anime.

The initial [breathing of the sun] was used as the basis to derive the five major breathing methods, [breathing of rock], [breathing of thunder], [breathing of water], [breathing of fire], [breathing of wind] 】.

And [Water Breathing] has derived two other breathing methods, namely Snake Breathing and Flower Breathing.

The two Butterfly sisters are currently learning Flower Breathing under the tutelage of Hua Zhu, but it won't be long before Butterfly Ninja will create his own Insect Breathing.

This is a derivative of Flower Breathing, a further branch of Water Breathing. It has no shape, and the moves are all named after dance.

Insect Breath is a combination of high-speed stabbing skills and poison to make up for the shortcomings of the weak wrist strength that is not enough to cut off the ghost's head.

The thrust is faster than Water Breath's fastest thrust technique, Seven Forms: Shizuku Wave Strike, and is powerful enough to penetrate rocks.

[The Breath of Flame] is derived from the Breath of Love, which is owned by the current [Love Pillar] Kanroji Mitsuri.

The derivatives of Wind Breath are Kasumi's Breath and Beast's Breath, and their owners are Muichiro Tokitou, Ryutō Nitō...er, no, and Inosuke Kubihira.

The derivative of [Thunder Breath] is Sound Breath, and its owner is [Sound Pillar] Yu Sui Tianyuan, the guy with three wives.

Each breathing method has its own characteristics, and the fighting methods are also different, but in terms of attack power alone, they can be distinguished.
