Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 309

One of the hidden team members noticed something was wrong and immediately rushed to the lord's residence to report the matter.

Shinobu Kocho looked at the group of people in front of her, gripped the hilt of her Nichirin Blade at her waist, and said in a slightly cold voice, "Mr. Ron is a guest I invited back. If you have any opinions, you can talk to me instead of rudely blocking your guest at the door."

"Miss Butterfly seems really angry, but she looks so cute when she's angry~"

Kanroji Mitsuri looked at Kocho Shinobu and thought to herself.

However, her gaze was more drawn to the young man beside Shinobu Kocho, whose height was comparable to that of Gyomei Himejima, and whose figure was well-proportioned and slender.

"He really is... unexpectedly handsome."

Kanroji Mitsuri's cheeks flushed red, and her eyes sparkled with desire.

"Butterfly."

Obanai Iguro looked at Shinobu Kocho and said, "We don't want to do this either, but the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters has always gathered and welcomed comrades who share the same goal of slaying demons, trust each other, know each other's backgrounds, and can completely entrust their backs to each other."

He looked at the young man next to Shinobu Kocho, who had a full head of black hair tied in a high ponytail, dressed in black, and had a silver-blue wine gourd hanging from his waist, and said with eyes as sharp as snakes, "Instead of a mysterious guy who hides his origins, whose strength is unknown, whose purpose is unknown."

Kyojuro Rengoku, leaning on his Nichirin Blade, nodded and said in a hearty tone, "That's right! At least we need to trust you."

"That's how it is, so..."

Uzui Tengen stared at Ron, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Could you please explain your background first? And what's with that monstrous strength of yours, which is even more terrifying than a ghost?"

With his hands clasped together and a sorrowful expression, Beimingyu Xingming said, "Poor thing, no matter what happened to you in the past, I will listen carefully."

Looking ahead, the Flame Pillar, Rock Pillar, Sound Pillar, and Serpent Pillar, having reached a consensus, unleashed their respective auras and pressed towards this side.

Shinobu couldn't help but glance at Ron beside her.

From the moment he threw that punch until now, he hasn't uttered a single word, simply listening to their conversation and calmly observing them.

Shinobu, noticing his expression, called out with some concern, "Mr. Ron..."

"Ah."

Are you... angry?

"I'm not angry."

Ron, standing with his hands behind his back, looked at the Flame Pillar and the others in front of him with a smile on his face.

"I just find it very interesting."

"Very interesting?"

Shinobu Kocho was somewhat confused.

What's interesting about that?

"Yes, that's very interesting. Let me give you an example and you'll understand."

As Ron spoke, a mocking smile played on his lips as he looked at the several pillar-level swordsmen in front of him: "An anthill is about to collapse, and the ants are building their nest with their own bodies. A kind-hearted human sees this and wants to help fix it. But as he gets closer, several ants in the ant colony, who consider themselves powerful, raise their tiny antennae and stand in front of him, blocking his way. They bar their fangs and claws and demand to know his origins and purpose. Doesn't that scene look vivid?"

Butterfly was taken aback.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhu and the others' expressions changed.

Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen flashed forward, gripping the twin swords on his back, and appeared in front of Ron, staring at him with a cold expression: "Take back what you just said!"

Ron smiled and said, "Has the pride of a weak ant been hurt?"

Yuzui Tengen narrowed his eyes, and the two swords in his hands transformed into two cold, sharp beams of light as he swung them down at him.

Sound Breathing - First Form!

boom!

With a bang, the special explosives that Uzui Tengen carried with him exploded around Ron as the Nichirin Blade struck.

Shinobu Kocho dodged to the side a step ahead, avoiding the area of ​​the explosion.

She stared in shock and anger at the area shrouded in smoke and dust from the explosion.

"Mr. Ron!"

Holding twin swords, Uzui Tengen sneered as he looked ahead: "Can't even dodge this attack? Looks like he's just a fool with superhuman strength. You dare to look down on the Demon Slayer Corps with this level of ability? Who gave you that confidence?"

Just now.

A hand emerged from the thick smoke and dust kicked up by the explosion.

By the time Uzui Tengen reacted...

He was already being lifted up by the neck by that incredibly fast hand.

"What!?"

Yuzui Tengen turned pale with shock.

The smoke cleared.

Ron appeared before everyone, looking spotless.

He grabbed Yuzui Tengen by the neck with one hand and easily lifted the tall man up.

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Ron raised his eyes and looked at the flushed Yuzui Tengen in his hand, smiling mockingly: "Can't dodge? You're just too lazy to dodge. Such a weak attack can't even tear my clothes apart, so why bother dodging?"

19. Is this person... a monster?

Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had just returned after being sent flying by Ron's punch, saw this scene.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately drew his sword and slashed at Ron.

He was careless just now. If he had been serious, that guy would never have been able to defeat him so easily.

After all... he is one of the nine strongest swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps, the Wind Pillar Sanemi Shinazugawa!

With bloodshot eyes, Shinazugawa Sanemi charged toward Ron at high speed, his body and the blue blade wreathed in swirling blue wind blades.

Breath of the Wind - First Form.

Dust Whirlwind - Slash!

At the same moment he made his move, Rengoku Kyojuro and Iguro Obanai also launched their attacks on Ron.

Three Pillar-level swordsmen attacked Ron from three directions simultaneously!

Shinobu Kocho was just about to do something.

Ron took a step forward with a calm expression.

The ground shook violently.

Centered on his feet, the ground within a radius of several meters suddenly sank downwards and cracked outwards in layers!

An incredibly powerful shockwave spread outwards.

The three pillar-level swordsmen were blown away before they could even get close.

"Wha, what?!"

The three of them turned pale with fright.

Shinazugawa Sanemi, in particular, exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible!?"

The Rock Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, who had not yet made a move, clasped his hands together, his expression solemn.

Butterfly stared at Ron, her face filled with shock.

Was what I saw before not the full extent of his strength?

Is this his true strength?!

Love Pillar Mitsuri Kanroji stared in shock at the completely collapsed and shattered ground within a radius of several meters, her eyes widening as she covered her mouth with her hands, utterly astonished.

"No way……"

Tokito Muichiro, who was standing in a daze in the distance, turned his head and looked over. When he saw the situation, he was slightly taken aback.

Those Demon Slayer Corps teammates and members of the Hidden Army who were in the distance were even more shocked, staring blankly at the tall and slender figure in black.

One of the hidden members couldn't help but swallow hard, his face covered in cold sweat as he looked at Ron and said:

"That person... could they be a monster?!"

A gentle voice rang out from not far away: "What... happened here?"

Everyone turned to look.

When they saw Kagaya Ubuyashiki standing next to a member of the Hidden Ones, with severe scars on the upper half of his face and blindness.

Everyone was taken aback.

"My lord!"

Including Muichiro Tokito and Shinobu Kocho, the several Pillar-level swordsmen present, as well as their Demon Slayer Corps teammates and members of the Hidden Army in the distance, all knelt down to pay their respects.

Ron looked at him.

So this is Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps...

She seemed to sense his gaze.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki turned his head to look in his direction.
