Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 173 Team formation

"I'm telling the truth! I didn't mean to chop off your head! I did mean to chop off your limbs, but not your head! Because you kept dodging and hiding, and I couldn't catch you!"

The straightforward words, the hearty tone, the cheerful voice, everything seemed reasonable, even the words spoken.

If the person being talked about wasn't Rinkou, who was standing right in front of him.

If the protagonist were a wild animal or a ghost, Lin Guang felt that he might agree more with this passage.

"Why do you want to catch me?"

Lin Guang tried to find the only reasonable question, the only one he could truly understand, from the pile of messy words.

"Because I want to take you back!"

This sentence brought a brief silence to the entire battlefield. The first person to answer was not Rinko but Jifutaro who was not far away. And the answer he gave was not words but a flying blood sickle.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you serious? Just three pillars are already planning to take over this kid?"

Jifutaro couldn't help but chuckle a few times. It was hard to say whether these three pillars could walk out of his attack range alive.

Just talking about that kid, do they really think that Upper Rank Zero was written into his eyes just for fun?

Rinko's fighting strength may not be enough to be considered as Upper Zero, but his importance to Lord Muzan and the boy's own reaction speed are top-notch enough. If the two pillars did not launch a sneak attack, they probably would not be able to touch that kid at all.

Rinkou doesn't need his help to live safely. Even if he really encounters any danger, the pot tied around his wrist is not hung there just for the sake of beauty. If Rinkou wants to, just knock on the door, that kid Akaza will definitely come here first.

The reason why he didn't let Rinko do that was simply because this was his territory. If he needed other upper-rank gods to help, who knows how those bastards would ridicule him.

The flying blood sickle was more for the purpose of showing presence, and it was expected that it was blocked by the two people with quick reactions. Instead, Tianyuan, who didn't keep an eye on him, gritted his teeth and rushed forward again waving his two swords to try to suppress him.

"He's just an Upper Six. Even if he's an Upper Six, he's still the last one. You should focus more on yourself! Focus all your attention on me! Sound Breathing, Form Four, Hibiki Slash."

The rapidly swinging blade was like exploding fireworks. The chain was constantly pulled and collided, and the blade was swung through the air again and again, like fireworks and firecrackers. The rapid attack finally made Jifutaro willing to shift his attention back to him, but he just waved the blood sickle and smiled nonchalantly.

"Circle Slash, Flying Blood Scythe."

The swung blade was blocked by the splattered blood, and the blood turned into sickle-shaped blades the moment it left the body, exploding in all directions with Jifutaro as the center.

The extremely powerful attack was blocked in an instant, and Tianyuan went from being the attacker to the defender.

"Clouds and fog."

In the brief moment when attention was diverted, Rinkou gently raised his hand and waved it, and Kyojuro and Saneya were instantly shrouded in darkness. Saneya, who already had experience, immediately spoke up to remind them.

"It's a range-of-effect blood magic that only affects vision. The location hasn't changed, so be careful!"

"Do you still have time to care about others? Shiya?"

It was expected, but the moment the sound appeared, my heart still skipped a beat. I twisted my waist and spun around, swinging the blade.

"Breath of the wind, form of five, cold autumn mountain wind."

A flat wind is not scary, but a tornado appearing out of nowhere is another matter. The sound disappeared from the ears, and the large-scale attack centered on itself really made the loach-like boy leave instantly, but where will it land next, and will it still attack him? Everything is uncertain.

"Snake Breath, One Form, Snake Slash."

Lin Guang doesn't like surprises, but his life is always full of surprises.

The intruder was not aboveboard. Unlike Shima or Kyojuro, this intruder was silent, like a dormant poisonous snake, and only moved a second before he was about to attack. The sudden slash forced Rinkou to interrupt his offensive and retreat away.

"It was a close call..."

"Who wants your help?"

Lin Guang turned his head to look over. The newcomer was completely different from the two in front of him, both in aura and figure, but in strength, the difference was not that big.

"Is that Iguro?! I'm so sorry! I was accidentally hit by a blood demon technique, and now everything is completely dark! What a powerful blood demon technique!"

Those eyes were not focused, they just followed the voice and found the other person clearly, but no matter whether they were being praised or listening to the story, they didn't give much face.

"Hey, Rengoku, now's not the time to be sentimental about this, right? These are two real Upper Ranks. Even though one is only Upper Rank Six, the other one is at least Upper Rank Zero..."

The situation seemed a little delicate. Lin Guang blinked slowly. This was definitely not what he had expected. Four pillars, really? When did the Demon Slayer Corps become so numerous? And when did they start moving so fast?

"Who cares what level he is? I'm going to chop off this brat's head today... He's just a jerk, he only knows how to use some cheap tricks. He keeps scurrying around like a rat. It's really annoying."

The sound of gnashing teeth was hard to ignore. Lin Guang tilted his head and put his hands behind his back innocently. Later he realized that the other party couldn't see him, so he snapped his fingers to cancel the blood demon art.

"You were the ones who attacked first, weren't you? I didn't want to intervene at first."

Shimizu didn't care about Rinkou's innocent look at all. When he noticed that the man's eyesight had returned, he simply tightened his grip on the long sword again, obviously preparing to fight again.

Although it is still unclear what is going on, the opponent's movements are easy to judge. Just cut off the damn hand before the brat uses the blood vampire magic, or just chop off the kid's legs that are jumping around.

"Aren't you here to help that guy Uzui? Then go do your thing. This kid is mine!"

Before he finished speaking, the wind moved. Lin Guang caught the other party's movement and reacted immediately, dodging the biting wind lightly.

"That's what you said, but are you really okay?... You're Upper Zero after all."

Xiao Banai's voice was emotionless, and her gaze lingered briefly on Lin Guang, as if just to remember the other person's appearance, before quickly looking away to another battlefield.

"No problem! He's just a little kid who knows how to play tricks! Go do your thing! Get those guys who are holding you back out of the way! Don't get in the way here!"

Obana looked at Kyojuro, who nodded firmly, gripped the long sword, and stepped forward to gather strength.

"Just go and help Uzui! Young Kamado is injured, and if he continues like this, the wound will become a big problem! As for this, just leave it to us! Breathing of Flame, One Form, Shiranui."

Like a flash of fire, a red shadow caught up with the hurricane. Xiao Banei withdrew his gaze, jumped off the roof lightly, and joined another battlefield.

[Tips: Apart from anything else, I'm a complete jerk when it comes to writing about battles. As expected, I'm more suited to writing about daily life. The battlefield is divided into three sides, and there are too many people to handle it all (lights a cigarette)

Let's end this fight as soon as possible, this is terrible. Let's get back to my daily routine.
