Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

After the Demon in the forest was slain by Feng Yu's Sword, he received a system reward of 50,000 sword strikes.

However, instead of feeling relieved, the entire forest seemed to grow even more oppressive.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

A large number of birds and beasts scattered in alarm, creating a stark contrast against the eerie silence of the forest.

"Xiao Bai, get ready for battle!"

Feng Yu jumped to a large tree, sensing the movement in all directions as the animals fled. He knew a fierce battle was imminent.

At that very moment, Xiao Bai's form rapidly expanded, transforming into a gigantic beast.

"Whoosh."

A gust of wind blew from Xiao Bai's nostrils as he scanned the surroundings warily.

In Feng Yu's hand was the pure green Nichirin Sword, and suddenly—

"Jie jie jie..."

The trees around them began to sway, followed by the appearance of three figures.

Two male Demons and one female Demon, all grotesquely ugly. One of the male Demons had his eyes shut, the other was entirely covered in flames. The female Demon floated in mid-air.

As these three Demons appeared, a dozen or so other Demons followed, respectfully waiting behind them.

"Jie jie jie..."

"So, you are the one who killed that fool Vine..."

The female Demon hissed, her greedy gaze fixed on Feng Yu, as if she had already decided that he was the next meal.

"Oh? You're talking about the one controlling the vines? Yes, that's right. He met a quick end. With a gentle swipe of my Nichirin Sword, I severed his neck, and he gradually turned to ashes. But I believe you'll soon join him," Feng Yu responded leisurely.

"Hahaha, he thought we were like that fool Vine..."

"Fog, don't you think this is the funniest joke?"

"Hahaha, do you think that just because you killed Vine, you can deal with us? Let me tell you, Vine was the weakest of us four."

The two male Demons laughed mockingly at Feng Yu's arrogance. Feng Yu wasn't interested in arguing, and figured that after he killed them, they'd see how funny it really was.

"Hey, you over there! Are you the pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

The female Demon spoke.

"Sorry, I'm not a pillar. I'm just a newbie who recently passed the trial," Feng Yu replied casually.

The female Demon breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't a pillar, it was fine. If he were a pillar, only their master could have fought him.

"Minions, capture him! I want to savor his flesh and blood!"

The fiery male Demon ordered the others.

No sooner had he spoken than the ordinary Demons charged at Feng Yu.

The air, already foul, now carried a stench of decay.

Feng Yu calmly adjusted his breathing and spoke slowly:

"Breathing Technique: Water Style, Third Form—Flowing Dance!"

Feng Yu leapt into the sea of Demons. With the extreme speed of the third form, he moved through the crowd like a phantom.

Wherever he passed, heads and bodies of the Demons were severed cleanly, turning to ash.

The ordinary Demons had expected their numerical advantage to crush him, but they had severely underestimated his strength.

Feng Yu cut through them as if slicing melons, every strike precise, and his enemies fell one by one.

Xiao Bai joined the fight, each swipe of his claws severing a Demon in two, and Feng Yu followed up with a finishing blow. Together, they moved as a seamless pair.

The three main Demons were furious.

"Damned human, let's go!"

The three Demons sprang into action, attacking Feng Yu.

But Feng Yu's speed was astonishing. By the time they reached him, the dozen ordinary Demons had already been slain, turning into more sword strikes for Feng Yu.

Seeing the additional several hundred thousand sword strikes appear in the system, Feng Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He mused that these Demons were truly generous!

The three main Demons launched their attacks, and Feng Yu immediately responded.

Using the Water Style, Third Form—Flowing Dance, along with the Wind-Flurry Swallow technique, he easily dodged their blows.

"Bang!"

The power of the three Demons' attacks was immense. The ground beneath them was shattered, creating a deep crater.

Amid the flying sand and rocks, Feng Yu had already leapt onto a large tree.

"Human, I didn't expect you to dodge our attacks. Jie jie jie."

"You've got some skill, hahahaha. But to fulfill the master's orders, we'll kill you first!"

"Fog, Sanmu, it's time to get serious!"

As the female Demon spoke, a crazed expression spread across her face as she glared at Feng Yu and shouted, "Blood Demon Technique: Fog Barrier!"

Instantly, black mist spread throughout the forest. The already dimly lit forest was now completely engulfed in darkness.

For a moment, Feng Yu lost his sight. But Xiao Bai was unaffected. His yellow-green eyes locked onto the three Demons, and he immediately moved to Feng Yu's side.

"Jie jie jie, little boy, isn't my Blood Demon Technique impressive... and it's not the only trick I have..."

The female Demon's voice echoed through the darkness. Feng Yu furrowed his brow and muttered to himself, "This is troublesome… this Demon's ability can release fog... and it seems there's poison in it..."

"However, she doesn't know that I've taken an antidote pill, so I'm immune to the poison… but I need to end this quickly, or else it'll be troublesome once the antidote wears off… though I still have another pill, it's best not to use it if I don't have to..."

Seeing that Feng Yu had lost his vision in the mist, the female Demon said to the two male Demons beside her, "Now's the time!"

The two male Demons nodded, and the one with his eyes shut suddenly had a second pair of eyes appear on his forehead. He reached up and plucked the eyes out, pressing them into the fiery male Demon's body.

"Go! We'll support you!"

The closed-eyed male Demon commanded.

The fiery male Demon laughed loudly and then leaped into the black mist.

"Sanmu's ability is really useful. Together with the fog, we're unstoppable. But of course, the most powerful one is still me!"

Within the black mist, his vision was unaffected, clearly thanks to the ability of the male Demon with three eyes.

"Blood Demon Technique: Stone Giant!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Feng Yu heard the sound of massive rocks rolling, and his body instinctively tensed.

"Danger!"

"Bang!"

The tree Feng Yu had been standing on was smashed by a giant fist, but he had already leapt to another location.

As soon as he landed, he heard:

"Blood Demon Technique: Blessing of the Earth God!"

The ground beneath Feng Yu's feet began to move, and he leaped to another tree.

He quickly realized that the Demon could control the earth!

"Not having vision is such a hassle..."

"Here it comes again!"

Feng Yu felt an immense danger approaching and leapt to another spot.

The tremendous sound indicated the power of the attack.

"If I get hit by that, I'll likely be crushed into a meat paste..."

"Therefore, I need to eliminate that female Demon first..."

"Xiao Bai, can you see where that female Demon is?"

Feng Yu asked Xiao Bai, who was standing on his shoulder.

"Ying ying."

Xiao Bai cried out.

"Very good, Xiao Bai, then I'll have to trouble you to be my eyes!"

...

"No, that human is too agile. The Rock Demon's Blood Demon Technique can't catch him. Three-Eyes, use another Blood Demon Technique to interfere with him!"

"Mm!"

The two Demons standing atop the tree watched as Feng Yu easily dodged the Rock Demon's attacks despite not having direct sight of him. They quickly conspired to use underhanded tactics.

"Blood Demon Technique: Death God's Gaze!"

As Feng Yu dodged the stone monster's attacks, he suddenly felt a powerful mental attack surge into his mind.

Countless eyes appeared in front of him. Feng Yu knew immediately that he had fallen into a trap. However, the illusion was quickly shattered as his mental power blocked Three-Eyes' Blood Demon Technique.

But Feng Yu, distracted by the mental assault, was struck heavily by the Rock Demon.

"I didn't expect this human's mental power to be so strong. He broke my Blood Demon Technique in an instant..."

"But the Rock's attack hit him..."

Three-Eyes Demon said.

Feng Yu was sent flying by the powerful attack, crashing into a large tree.

Pain!

Every part of his body hurt!

It felt as though his internal organs had shattered.

But with his powerful self-healing abilities, the broken bones and organs began to repair rapidly.

"Pfft!"

Feng Yu spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, immediately feeling much better.

He then took a healing pill, which quickly dispersed its effects, and his wounds healed even faster.

Feng Yu shakily stood up, while Xiao Bai licked the wounds on his face, clearly feeling distressed.

"Xiao Bai, I'm fine. I didn't expect that one of these three Demons would have a mental attack Blood Demon Technique. I was a little careless, but I won't make the same mistake again…"

"At first, I wasn't quite skilled with this technique, but thanks to the earlier attack, I finally understood the last piece of the puzzle. Since the black mist can't be dispersed, I'll use light to drive away the darkness!"

Feng Yu tightened his grip on the Nichirin Sword.

The melody of the Breath of Light resonated.

"Total Concentration, Breath of Light, Second Form: Radiant World!"

A silver-white light radiated from Feng Yu's hand!

"This… this is?"

The three Demons were stunned.

The first to react was the Three-Eyes Demon. With a scream, blood tears flowed from his closed eyes.

The Rock Demon covered its eyes, and the Mist Demon opened its mouth in shock.

As the black mist dispersed, Feng Yu saw the Three-Eyes Demon and Mist Demon on the distant tree.

In an instant—

"Total Concentration, Breath of Water, Third Form: Flowing Dance!"

Feng Yu's speed was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the two Demons.

"Total Concentration, Breath of Water, First Form: Surface Slice!"

Blue water ripples surged, and the two Demons instinctively took defensive stances, but it was all for naught.

Where the Sword passed, their heads fell to the ground.

A double kill!

The two Demons couldn't believe that their heads had been severed. Their bodies turned to ash and dissipated into the air.

"Ugh…"

Feng Yu clutched his chest, clearly feeling the toll that the Second Form of the Breath of Light had taken on his body.

"Phew~"

His powerful self-healing ability quickly kicked in.

"Ahh, damn human, you actually killed them!"

Seeing his comrades die, the Rock Demon entered a frenzy.

"This is your fault. I didn't want to use this technique here because I didn't want to destroy the habitat!"

"Blood Demon Technique: Lava of the Volcano!"

The red energy around the Rock Demon transformed into streams of molten lava, and the surrounding flowers and trees withered. The air grew increasingly hotter.

"Boom!"

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

Fiery lava erupted from the ground. At the same time, the volcanoes on the mountain seemed to be affected, letting out terrifying roars.

"No, I have to kill this Demon quickly. If he finishes this Blood Demon Technique, the volcano will erupt!"

With no time to hesitate, Feng Yu leapt forward. Every second counted. He thought of using the First Form of the Breath of Light, the Light Slash.

Extreme speed, extreme damage!

Feng Yu shot toward the Rock Demon like a streak of light.

"You won't!"

The Rock Demon shouted.

Suddenly, a massive stone monster appeared and blocked the path of the Rock Demon. Feng Yu, seeing that he was about to crash into it, immediately switched to the Eighth Form of the Breath of Water, Waterfall Pot, and slashed down at the stone monster from the air.

"Bang!"

The massive force cleaved the stone monster in half.

The Rock Demon was dumbfounded.

"This… how is this possible! How could you be so strong?"

His strongest defensive and offensive Blood Demon Technique had been cut in half by someone who wasn't even a Hashira.

This man was terrifyingly strong…

Since he became a Demon, no one had ever been able to break his Blood Demon Technique—not even the leader of the Twelve Kizuki…

The Rock Demon realized that it wasn't that his technique was weak, but that this man was just too powerful…

"You... You must be a Hashira, right? Aren't you?!"

The Rock Demon crazily demanded.

Having lost the will to fight, he no longer wished to resist, only letting out helpless wails.

Unable to escape, this man's speed was too fast, and his strength was shockingly powerful...

"Sorry, I'm really not!"

Taking advantage of the Rock Demon's daze, Feng Yu swiftly decapitated him.

"I don't believe it... I don't believe it…"

His voice, filled with unwillingness, dissipated into the air.

The three Demons were slain by Feng Yu's Sword, but somewhere in a cave, a pair of jade-colored eyes opened. If one looked closely, they would notice that there were words carved within the eyes!

Feng Yu received a system prompt and saw his account balance increase by 50 million for the number of Sword swings. He immediately collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Pain.

Intense pain radiated from his chest, and his internal organs felt as if they were burning.

"The transition between two Breaths is still too difficult…"

But at that moment, a volcano on the mountain finally erupted!
