Chapter 153 I Will Take Action

"A little mouse?"

Upon hearing Su Yan's words, Tamayo was taken aback.

Has Yushiro been discovered?

As Tamayo stood alone in front of the mansion to greet Su Yan and Shizuka Marikawa, she couldn't help but think to herself.

For some reason, she had been feeling uneasy for some time now.

Especially after unexpectedly receiving a message from the current leader of the Demon Slayer Corps not long ago, this unease in his heart reached its peak.

She didn't know why this man, who claimed to be on par with Yoriichi Tsugikuni, was looking for her.

Is it really as the Demon Slayer Corps said, that the other party wanted him to confirm whether his strength could rival Yoriichi Tsugikuni?

But she never believed that anyone in the world could compare to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, that terrifying man.

It didn't exist in the past, it doesn't exist now, and it absolutely won't exist in the future!

Only she, who had witnessed the battle between the other party and Muzan four hundred years ago, could understand just how terrifying a monster the man named Yoriichi Tsugikuni truly was.

However, due to certain factors, she ultimately agreed to the Demon Slayer Corps' request to meet this man named Su Yan.

Although she didn't think the man in front of her could compare to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, that monster, his strength was acknowledged by the Demon Slayer Corps' lord.

This means that the other party has at least the strength of a Pillar, so she also made many preparations for this meeting.

For example, scheduling the meeting for the evening.

In this way, if the other party harbors ill intentions towards her and takes action, she won't be in a situation like during the day where she couldn't even escape.

Secondly, he instructed his subordinate Yushiro to use Blood Demon Art to conceal himself.

If the other party tries to attack, Yushiro will use his Blood Demon Art to conceal her figure as well, and then the two of them will escape together.

Therefore, upon hearing Su Yan's words, Tamayo's first thought was that Yushiro, who was hiding in the shadows, had been discovered by the other party.

Fearing that Su Yan would harm his subordinate Yushiro, Tamayo quickly said, "Lord Su Yan, please wait a moment, he is—"

However, before she could finish speaking...

Then a series of sobbing sounds filled the air.

Then appeared a short, hunched old man who was crying with his hands covering his face.

"When?"

Tamayo's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the figure that suddenly appeared before her.

She had no idea when the other person appeared, and she hadn't sensed anything before they appeared.

If Su Yan hadn't spoken up, she even doubted that he would have appeared in front of them at all.

Tamayo quickly spoke to the empty air beside her, "Yushirou?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of a man with short green hair appeared not far away.

It was Lady Tamayo who personally transformed him into a demon, and Yushiro, who is jokingly referred to as the third generation demon king in the Demon Slayer world.

Yushiro stood in front of Tamayo, his eyes warily fixed on the hunched old man who had appeared before him.

He clutched tightly in his hand the talisman paper with an eye symbol drawn using blood demon magic.

"Are you going to take matters into your own hands?"

Su Yan released Shizuka Marikawa from his arms, turned his gaze to Tamayo, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Well, I don't mind, but the question is, can you defeat an Upper Moon demon?"

Although Yushiro is jokingly referred to as the third generation of the Demon King.

However, its combat effectiveness can only be described as average.

It is not even as good as some of the elite demons under the Twelve Demon Moons.

The reason for this nickname is that after Muzan died, the other demons in the Demon Slayer world were also eliminated along with him.

After that, all that remained in the world was Yushiro and a kitten that Tamayo had turned into a demon.

However, the opponent's Blood Demon Art is arguably the strongest support skill.

The two effects shown in the original work alone are powerful enough.

One is invisibility, which can make oneself, others, or buildings invisible, so that others cannot see them.

Secondly, they shared vision. In the final battle at the Infinity Castle, the opponent placed talismans with the effects of their own Blood Demon Art on all the Demon Slayer Corps crows.

This allowed the Demon Slayer Corps to draw up the corresponding map during the final battle in the Infinity Castle and to command the battle in real time through Crow.

Yushiro's Blood Demon Art is also one of the abilities that Su Yan has his eye on.

Unfortunately, it's very difficult for the opponent to obtain Blood Demon Art using the equivalent exchange ability.

Because the other party is different from most people in the Demon Slayer world, has no grudge against Muzan, and was turned into a demon by Tamayo simply because she had a terminal illness in her previous life and wanted to live.

The reason she chose to fight Muzan was simply because she admired Tamayo, who wanted to transform herself into a demon, and wanted to help her.

He could absolutely be called Ms. Tamayo's lapdog?

For someone as single-mindedly devoted to Tamayo as Yushiro, unless Su Yan is willing to exchange Tamayo for him, there's really no way to think of a way to obtain his Blood Demon Art in the short term.

However, this would conflict with Su Yan's goal of winning over Miss Tamayo.

"Winding ghost?"

Tamayo's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but reach out and lightly cover her mouth in shock, letting out a gasp of surprise.

He quickly looked at the hunched old man not far away.

Through the gaps between the fingers of the other person's palm, one could vaguely see the words engraved in the other person's pupils.

Upper Moon! Fourth!

The strength of the Upper Moon demons is absolutely beyond doubt, especially in the hundreds of years since Yoriichi Tsugikuni died.

Aside from the bloody battles where they switched places, the Upper Moon demons were never defeated by the Demon Slayer Corps.

In fact, each Upper Moon demon has killed at least a dozen or more Pillar-level members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

This was something that Tamayo, who was avoiding Muzan but always keeping an eye on the Demon Slayer Corps, was well aware of.

At this moment, Tamayo finally understood where the unease she had felt all this time came from.

Yushiro stood before Lady Tamayo and shouted, "Lady Tamayo, I will do my best to stop that Upper Moon demon for you, so you should run!"

"it's useless."

Tamayo shook her head, rejecting Yushiro's idea.

Given Yushiro's strength, he would be no match for the Twelve Demon Moons, let alone facing a terrifying Upper Moon demon.

It probably won't last more than a few seconds before it's torn to shreds by the other side.

Tamayo looked at Su Yan and suggested, "Let's join forces. Yushiro and I both have Blood Demon Arts that are more supportive, so we'll assist you from the sidelines."

The only way forward is for everyone to join forces; perhaps then we can have a chance to defeat the Upper Moon demon before us.

Yes, not kill, but repel.

Tamayo even had a plan in mind: everyone should work together to delay the battle until daytime, and then use the sun's power to force the Upper Moon demon to retreat.

Moreover, it all depends on the strength of Su Yan and his group, and whether they can possess strength surpassing that of ordinary Demon Slayer Corps Pillar-level members.

"Join forces? No need!"

Su Yan said casually, "It's just a little mouse. It's perfect timing. I'll use it to show you my strength."

Zhu Shi's heart tightened.

Sure enough, her worst fears came true.

The arrogant man in front of him, who was so proud of himself that he could be compared to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, completely looked down on this Upper Moon demon.

They had absolutely no intention of joining forces with them, and even regarded the Upper Moon demons as easy prey.

But the strength of an Upper Moon demon is not that simple.

"Lord Su Yan, you may not know the strength possessed by the Twelve Demon Moons, but—"

Tamayo took a deep breath, looking at Su Yan with a serious expression, trying to persuade him.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action."

Su Yan waved his hand, ignoring Miss Tamayo.

He turned his gaze to the Upper Moon Four Hantengu in front of him.

Their conversation didn't last long, but it probably took a minute or two.

However, the half-heavenly dog ​​in front of them did not attack them at all; it just kept covering its face and crying in front of them.

All I can say is that this guy is incredibly cunning.

Instead of taking the initiative, they let the enemy attack them first, and then split off a powerful clone to stand on the moral high ground and accuse the opponent of bullying the weak.

Still trying to pull off Tang Yin's scheme all by himself?

Don't even think about it.

Su Yan stated that he was bullying this weak person.

He then raised his hand, and pieces of crimson sand iron used for forging Nichirin swords flew out from the various pockets of his clothes.

The silvery-white metal slowly condensed together in the air.

However, it did not take the shape of a Nichirin Blade.

Instead, it slowly formed a thin, blood-red chain.

The blood-red chains, like serpents, spread towards the direction of the half-heavenly dog.

Half-day Dog did not resist, and remained bound by the chains formed by Su Yan using the Crimson Sand Iron.

Seeing this, Tamayo exclaimed in surprise, "It's locked?"

He couldn't help but have some doubts about the being before him whose eyes were marked with the name of Upper Moon Four.

Is it really an Upper Moon demon from the Twelve Demon Moons?

"It's not that simple."

Su Yan shook his head.

The reason is simple: he hasn't even started exerting his full strength yet.

He simply used his mind control ability to mold the gorilla Scarlet Sand Iron into the shape of chains and wrap them around the other person.

However, it must be said that although Hantengu appears to be timid on the surface.

However, she allowed herself to do as she pleased, without offering any resistance.

This shows just how arrogant the other party was, as an Upper Moon demon.

Su Yan gripped one end of the chain and suddenly exerted force.

The chains binding Hantengu tightened, binding him tightly.

cluster!

Red flames, like lotus flowers, ignited on the chains.

"A Crimson Blade?!"

Miss Tamayo's eyes widened.

Although the forms of expression are different, and Su Yan uses a chain instead of a Nichirin Blade.

But at this moment, the power contained in the chains brought her an extremely terrifying sense of danger.

Indeed, it was exactly the same ability called the Crimson Blade that Yoriichi Tsugikuni used when she personally witnessed him fight Muzan.

Tamayo began to feel relieved.

If that's the kind of ability, it's no wonder the other party is so arrogant as to think they can stand shoulder to shoulder with that monster, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

However, that alone is not enough.

Because during the Warring States period, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was not the only swordsman who possessed this kind of breathing technique with the ability to wield a crimson blade.

However, the only monster that could pose a threat to Muzan and become his nightmare was Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

However, the fact that Su Yan could use such an ability did relieve her.

In this way, even if Su Yan cannot defeat this Upper Moon demon, he should at least be able to delay the battle until dawn.

Tamayo continued to focus her attention on Su Yan and Hantengu.

"Ugh!!!"

The flames from the chains were burning the body of the half-demon, causing it to curl up like a red-hot lobster.

She stopped crying and instead couldn't help but let out painful groans.

Until Su Yan managed to extinguish the flames on the chains.

Half-day Dog slowly recovered thanks to his powerful regenerative abilities.

However, no matter how powerful his regenerative abilities were as an Upper Moon demon, the pain from being burned on his body earlier never subsided.

Half-Heaven Dog looked at Su Yan in front of him with lingering fear in his eyes.

Su Yan could have directly burned his opponent to ashes with all his might, but he did not choose to do so. He intentionally controlled his strength, so that Bantiangou would feel pain but not be able to kill his opponent instantly.

After all, he still needs Bantiangou's Blood Demon Technique; if he just kills him, then he'll lose everything.

What Su Yan needs to do is to use absolute strength to subdue Bantiangou.

He wants the other person to fear him as a god!

He must make his image surpass Muzan's and become the greatest fear in the other's heart.

Only in this way will the cowardly Half-Heaven Dog willingly hand over his Blood Demon Technique.

Thinking this, Su Yan walked up to the Half-Heaven Dog, kicked it, and said in an icy voice, "Don't you have the ability to create even more powerful clones to fight? Why don't you use them?"

"Or is it that your Blood Demon Art cannot be used on its own and can only be used after your body has been severed?"

"It's okay, let me help you."

As he spoke, Su Yan exerted force again, and the chains binding the limbs of the Half-Heaven Dog began to tighten slowly.

"ah!!!"

This was accompanied by a painful groan coming from the mouth of the half-day dog.

His limbs were severed by the chains and fell to the ground.

Tamayo, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but frown slightly.

For a moment, it was hard to tell who the real evil spirit was.

However, she had no intention of sympathizing with this Upper Moon demon.

I just feel that this Upper Moon demon seems a bit weak in terms of strength.

Although he survived by withstanding Su Yan's crimson blade ability.

However, apart from physical fitness and recovery ability, she did not see anything particularly outstanding about the other party.

While Ms. Tamayo was still wondering about this.

The limbs that Su Yan had severed with chains were seen to have regrown.

Meanwhile, the limbs on the ground began to slowly expand, forming clusters of human shapes.

Before long, four demigods appeared on the scene, each with two horns on its head, wielding different weapons, and in their youthful form.

Moreover, each young Hantengu has an inscription in their eyes that represents their Upper Moon demon identity.

Only Su Yan and Bantiangou knew that these were four clones split off from Bantiangou, each representing a different emotion and possessing a different blood demon technique.

At this moment, the clone representing anger, Ji Nu, stepped forward.

He raised his tin staff, pointing it at Su Yan, and roared, "Let him go!!"
