Chapter 11
The hysterical screams of the evil ghost suspended in the air were inconsistent with the arrogant words. The whole body was trembling with fear, and the feathers on his body were scattered to every corner of the cave. "Ding, ding, ding." The flying feathers were blocked by the Sun Wheel Sword, and a few sparks flew. Lin Heng's figure emerged from the hidden corner, with flames bursting under his feet. He jumped up and swung his sword to cut down the evil ghost in the air. He fell to the ground and sighed melancholy. Shouldn't the Lower Rank rush in, kneel down and cry helplessly when seeing the messy old nest, and then be killed by my righteous backstab?
Why are there still pawns sent to explore the way? Too cautious, brother.
Lin Heng scratched his head and jumped out of the cave. The ambush failed. The position had been discovered by the opponent, but he was still stubborn. If he stayed any longer, he would be caught in the jar.
"Go to hell, ah ah ah ah!"
"Wuwuwu, go to hell quickly..."
There were actually two ghosts lying in ambush outside. They were obviously very scared, but they rushed up to die crying and howling.
"One type, Shiranui."
The golden flame rose and flashed by. The two ghosts were easily solved. Lin Heng looked forward seriously.
A strong whistle sounded, and the concentration of malice in the super perception was unprecedented. A strong figure gradually appeared under the full moon. Before the person arrived, the extremely arrogant voice had already come.
"Are you the one who messed up the banquet that I worked so hard to prepare, swordsman?"
Bang!
A big pit was smashed on the ground, and the figure of the evil ghost in the center emerged.
Lin Heng looked at the evil ghost. The person who came was a young man with four short braids on his back. The color of the hair was orange, there were blue lines on his head, his eyes were light blue, and black words were engraved on the iris of his left eye.
"Lower Moon."
Lin Heng whispered the other party's name.
"Kama-Nue."
"It was me, you bastard."
Unlike other demons, as a member of the Twelve Demon Moons, Kamama-Nue obviously had a lot of information about the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Golden red hair, and the mastery of the breath of fire, is he a swordsman of the Purgatory family?"
"Not bad strength, actually able to kill so many trash, if used as a treat, your meat should also be suitable."
Lin Heng did not comment, and his perception was extended to search around the Kama-Nue, but no other humans were found. It seemed that the Kama-Nue did not catch any rare blood.
"Listen, unlike those trash, I will soon be promoted to the Twelve Demon Moons, become the direct subordinate of that adult, and reign over the pinnacle of demons."
He is very ignorant, he can even say such a thing as reigning over the pinnacle of demons. The person opposite seems to be a little too confident, and Lin Heng is too lazy to complain.
The blue spiral-shaped hard scales protruded from the waist of the Kama-Nue, arming his hands, and the tip of the spiral was cold.
Lin Heng looked serious, holding the knife with both hands, bending his body, leaning down and slowly accumulating strength.
"There is no word engraved on your Sun Blade, which means you are not the Flame Pillar."
Kama-no-Nue crossed his hands up and down, and the Scaled Drill began to spin rapidly. The high-speed rotating drills collided with each other, rubbing out clusters of sparks. The corners of his mouth cruelly cracked, and he asked coldly.
"So, who gave you the courage to act wild in front of me? Answer me, human!"
"Type Five, Flame Tiger."
Born as a common person, he talked a lot of nonsense. Lin Heng responded with a fierce tiger roar.
"Hmph, you overestimate your own abilities."
His feet stepped heavily on the ground, and Kama-no-Nue rushed over with a grim smile, waving two drills.
"Scaled Drill! Go to hell!"
Bang!
The Sun Blade wrapped in golden flames collided violently with the blue drill, and the huge roar shook the surroundings.
"Hah!"
Lin Heng shouted in a low voice, and continued to increase his strength. The flames on the Sun Blade became hotter and hotter. The high-speed rotating drill could no longer hold on and moved back little by little, making a creepy cracking sound.
One step, two steps, the big Fu Nue who was close to his face was defeated step by step, and the arrogant smile froze on his face.
"No, how is this possible."
The proud Lin He let out a series of wails, and the evil ghost's body was forced to retreat again and again by the flaming tiger.
"No, I can't hold on!"
Finally, Lin He was completely broken, and the flaming tiger swallowed Fu Nue's figure, and the golden flames that soared into the sky illuminated the entire night.
In a blink of an eye, the fire dissipated, and there was only
Only half of the upper body was left.
Lin Heng used all his strength to use the Flame Tiger to cut Kamae in half!
"How can you be so strong? You are a Pillar, right? You cunning human dared to deceive me."
With only half of his body left, Kamae licked his blood. The powerful recovery ability of the lower string allowed him to stand up again soon, but the Hebao could not regenerate in a short time.
"Hahaha, I have to admit that I underestimated you a little before, but I didn't use my full strength just now."
Kamae crawled back while saying this, keeping a distance from Lin Heng.
Why is this ghost talking to himself? Lin Heng frowned. He was still holding on even though he had beaten him to pieces. He was reckless, arrogant, and stubborn. He didn't look very smart.
"This is my home court, evil Pillar, don't underestimate my power! Blood Demon Art·Rock Trap Prison."
Kamae, who had grown his lower limbs again, stomped his feet heavily.
Buzz, strange waves swept through the ground.
The next moment, Lin Heng, who was rushing forward, felt empty under his feet. The land he was standing on had disappeared, replaced by a huge pit.
The extremely powerful attraction acted on Lin Heng from bottom to top, and his body, which had lost its foothold in mid-air, kept falling down.
The terrain in a small area was changed in an instant, and gravity was applied. The effect of the blood ghost technique, want to force me to stay underground?
Lin Heng thought calmly and controlled his body posture to slow down the impact of the fall.
"There is no point in struggling, double-level ground stab!"
Above, the cold and arrogant voice of Fu Nue sounded again.
The wave came again, and rows of huge sharp stabs rumbled up in the pit. The black rock stabs were jagged and dense and dangerous. It would be troublesome if they were pierced.
Lin Heng controlled the landing point of his body and wanted to use the stone stabs as a springboard to return to the ground. However, the next moment he realized that something was wrong and retracted his half-kicked foot in mid-air.
For a powerful swordsman, the rising stone spikes are not an attack, but a help to escape from the Rock Prison. As a ghost moon, the loopholes in the blood ghost art should not be so obvious.
These clumsy rock spikes are just like a group of traps that people deliberately step on!
"Eighth form, Haoyan wheel crown."
Following the direction of falling, Lin Heng rotated a circle with his sword and slashed with Haoyan, and the huge power directly shattered the rock spikes below.
The black flame spikes exploded directly, and the dazzling flames rose. The roaring noise shook Lin Heng's ears.
The little thing is really TM sinister, Lin Heng, who fell to the ground, said a word. If he had not been careful and stepped on the rock spikes just now, he would probably be injured.
"You're lucky, but Zhu, you've fallen into hell, there's nowhere to escape."
Standing above and overlooking the situation, Kama-no-Yo sneered proudly: "Then how are you going to dodge this next move, triple steaming rock."
Buzz buzz buzz, the waves kept coming, Lin Heng clearly witnessed the black rock spikes trembling and shining in a short period of time, and the temperature inside the cave rose sharply.
Here it comes, boom boom boom!
Continuous explosions came, flames and rock fragments attacked from all directions.
"Fourth Form, Vortex of Rising Flame."
The golden tornado rose, firmly blocking the flying fragments, and the black smoke was blown away by the wind pressure brought by the high-speed rotating Sun Wheel Sword. Lin Heng was unharmed in the center, but his breathing had gradually become rapid.
His body temperature was rising, and his breathing method was also affected. Lin Heng calmly examined the situation. The poisonous black smoke after the explosion had been blown away by him with the Fourth Form.
However, after being heated once, the underground air was sucked into the body, and the trachea seemed to pass through a ball of fire, and gravity was also affecting him all the time.
His body was excited, Lin Heng's mouth curled up, his body temperature was rising rapidly, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated. Now he felt that his body was better than ever before.
"So, what are you going to do the second time, Zhu?"
Without giving Lin Heng a break, Fu Nue stood on a high place and looked down at Lin Heng, feeling like a suffocating feeling like a python entangled.
Rumble, black rock spikes appeared again around the pit, and the temperature slowly climbed again.
Lin Heng put away the Sun Wheel Sword, concentrated his mind, and the power continued to flow to his lower limbs.
"You actually took back the sword and gave up. Although it was my one-sided crush, you are also proud enough."
"I will always remember you. You are the first Zhu who died in my hands." Fu Nue couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Heng ignored Fu Nue who was always crazy.
To be honest, this is indeed a good blood vampire technique. It is easy to be hit when you first meet it, and it is complete and coherent. However, it is likely to require the help of terrain, so I am afraid it can only be performed near here.
However, there are still flaws. The explosion of the rock spikes is not instantaneous, but needs to be heated continuously. Even if the impact is ahead of time,
Explosion, there will also be a short interval.
In other words, the fierce flames wrapped around his lower limbs, Lin Heng stepped hard on the rock spikes, and the whole person burst out.
After a delay of a moment, the rock spikes exploded, and the rolling air waves pushed Lin Heng from behind, but his speed increased again!
Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!
It was so fast that no one could see the figure, only a golden flame swept through the rock spikes at a high speed, and there were explosions on the trajectory of movement.
Accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate continuously!
Lin Heng's speed continued to rise, and the flames and fragments after the rock spikes exploded could not keep up with him at all. The air waves instead intensified his arrogance, making Lin Heng explode more and more.
Just like a rocket with infinite boosters, Lin Heng, who had reached the maximum speed, stepped heavily on the ground with one step, and gravity could no longer control him. Lin Heng returned to the ground with a body bathed in fire!
"How is this possible? You were lucky enough to escape my blood demon art."
Kama-no-Nue's eyes widened, but he still didn't give in.
"My blood demon art can't be escaped so easily. You can't stand up anymore, right? You're just holding on."
After leaving the pit, Lin Heng automatically ignored the crazy Kam-no-Nue and took a deep breath. The slightly cool night air entered his trachea, with a faint sweet fragrance. His overheated body gradually cooled down, and his heart rate gradually stabilized.
"You dare to ignore me? I'll tear your disguise apart."
Seeing that Lin Heng didn't answer, Kam-no-Nue angrily rushed up with the Scaled He drill.
"One form, Shiranui."
Stepping out of the flames, Lin Heng drew his sword and chopped, and the Sun Wheel Sword collided with the Scaled He, but this time there was no fierce collision.
The gentle force of the Sun Wheel Sword swept the drill away in one fell swoop, and Lin Heng quickly swung his sword to take Kam-no-Nue's head.
"Ahhhhhhh."
His body quickly leaned back, and the neck of Fu Nue had been cut in half. He barely escaped the disaster, but he did not retreat but advanced, and wanted to exchange injuries for injuries.
The rough fighting skills of the evil ghost were not technical at all. He just relied on his great strength, thick skin and blood, and self-healing to deal with the enemy. With a disdainful smile, Lin Heng turned his knife to block.
With a brave spirit, Fu Nue briefly took the initiative, and the two drills attacked frantically.
However, the angle of the Sun Wheel Sword was tricky, and each time it accurately bounced Fu Nue away, it was airtight. Fu Nue became more and more manic, and his movements became more and more chaotic.
Lin Heng's face was slightly gloomy. After each blow, the reckless man on the opposite side was clearly slashing randomly, but the force transmitted from the Sun Wheel Sword was getting stronger and stronger. He could not continue to be passive.
Once again, the drill was bounced away, Lin Heng rotated the Sun Wheel Sword, and a tornado of fire rose up, and Fu Nue was forced back by the Sizhixing.
Strange, although Kama-nue's blood demon art is good, his ability in close combat is too weak. Even with the blessing of the kagune, he was almost killed by Lin Heng's flame tiger at the beginning.
Compared with the performance of the pillars in the main story of Demon Slayer, except for the ninja, they can kill the opponent within 3 moves in a head-on attack. Lin Heng, who has mastered the constant, is confident that he is very close to the pillar.
Is his strength stronger?
Maybe, but there is no doubt that my strength and reaction speed have weakened. The battle was too intense, or I just got out of the blood demon art and consumed too much physical strength?
Lin Heng panted slightly, and the surrounding air was extracted into his lungs in large quantities, and a faint numbness came from his body.
No, that's not right, something was overlooked.
Suddenly, Lin Heng had a flash of inspiration, and he exited the state of super perception and looked around.
I don't know since when, the bare rock wall was covered with green stems and vines, and rows of attractive red beans with water droplets on them were formed in the axils of the leaves.
Small lantern-shaped flowers bloom on the vines, and the colorless pollen blends into the air, exuding a faint sweet fragrance. The pheromone of this thing actually deceived the super perception.
"Hahaha, hahaha~"
The arrogant laughter sounded, and the panting Kama-Nue on the opposite side raised his head and laughed wildly.
"You only found it now? It's really too late, Zhu, I will take your head."
"Where is it? Although it has avoided my super perception range, there must be a second ghost hiding somewhere. Find him first."
Lin Heng calmly waved the Sun Wheel Sword, and the vines that had been quiet seemed to sense the danger, twisting wildly and shrinking back.
But the golden flames followed like a shadow, and the vines that had no way to avoid it were burned to ashes.
An obvious problem was ignored. From beginning to end, Lin Heng thought that this banquet was just the daily life of Kama-Nue.
However, Kamae's banquet was definitely not simple, as he dispatched so many evil spirits, even personally went to catch rare blood and prepare dishes, and risked being identified by the Demon Slayer Corps to prepare such a high-profile and grand banquet.
Because Muzan was afraid that the demons would gather together to oppose him, and the demons themselves would also
Because of the nature of the fratricidal species, most ghosts act alone, but for the highly intelligent Twelve Ghost Moons, it is still possible to restrain their instincts and get along with each other for a short period of time.
Lin Heng naturally ignored the possibility that the upper-level ghosts might have personal relationships with each other, and the probability is indeed small, but it is by no means zero.
If it is not a celebration for himself, but a banquet for an equally distinguished guest, then everything that Kama-Nue did today is reasonable.
In this case, the host of the banquet is the Lower Moon Land, so who will be the distinguished guest?
Lin Heng's wandering eyes drifted away.
"What a sharp human being, it has been so long, and Kama-Nue is so stupid."
At this time, in the dense jungle hundreds of meters away from the battlefield, a petite figure was clinging to the ground and watching silently.
