Chapter 40: Fujikasane Mountain.

The crescent moon hung high.

The wisteria flowers swayed in the wind.

Kamado Tanjiro, with a determined look in his eyes, climbed up the steps.

People gathered in front of the shrine.

Some had cold expressions, not prone to laughter; some had gentle looks, ethereal temperament.

"There are so many people."

Tanjiro took a deep breath, somewhat nervously gripping his sword hilt.

At this moment, two girls in kimonos, wearing wisteria flower hair ornaments, and holding lanterns walked out of the shrine.

They spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, "Thank you all for coming to participate in the final selection of the Demon Slayer Corps tonight."

"In this Fujikasane Mountain, the demons captured alive by the demon slayer swordsmen are imprisoned."

"However, the demons cannot leave."

"Because from the foot of the mountain to the waist, wisteria flowers that the demons detest bloom all year round."

"But beyond this point, there are no more wisteria flowers, and there will be demons."

"Surviving inside for seven days, that is the qualifying condition for the final selection."

Both of them bowed slightly.

"Then, please have a safe journey."

An hour later, in the middle of Fujikasane mountain.

'Squeak'.

The door opened wide.

A tall, black-haired young man walked out of the void.

He glanced around the environment and frowned.

"Where is this?"

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the fog was dense.

At first glance, it was not a good place!

The young man did not act rashly, and magically pulled a long knife out of the air.

The newcomer was Jon.

After staying at home for more than ten days, the blood of Joseph (the flirt) in his body urged him to open the Dimensional Door again and come to a new world.

Jon thought to himself, "First of all, I need to figure out where I am, and then make the next plan."

Just as he was thinking.

The bushes behind him rustled.

In no time, a thin, fierce long-tongued demon jumped out.

"Hee hee, my luck is really not..."

Before the word 'wrong' could be spoken.

Jon swung his sword directly.

Armament Haki. Ripple Rush. Atomic Slash!

The sword shadow was like light, covering the sky.

The long-tongued demon was instantly killed and turned into ashes.

"So weak."

Jon sneered.

What the hell was that thing just now?

He recalled the appearance of the monster.

Long tongue hanging down, pale skin.

Shaking his head and wagging his tail, he looked like a certain blond vampire.

"Help! Is there anyone who can save me!"

Suddenly, Jon heard a cry for help.

He looked up sharply.

First, he used Observation Haki to sense for a while, then he stepped into the 'inner world' and disappeared on the spot.

...

...

"Help! Is there anyone who can save me!"

Jabami ran wildly on the dark mountain road, crying and shouting.

Behind him, there was a sinister wind!

A four or five-meter-tall demon was following closely behind, staring at the boy who had already been scared out of his wits like a cat playing with a mouse.

As if tired of this game of chase.

The dozens of arms tightly wrapped around the demon stretched out strangely, and in the blink of an eye, they caught Jabami's calf.

The boy screamed in desperation.

Suddenly, a vigorous figure rushed out from the side of the road!

"Breath of Water. Second Form. Water Wheel!"

The waves surrounded, flashing past.

The arm holding Jabami's calf was cut off at the sound.

"Hee hee hee... here it comes again... my lovely little fox."

Seeing the fox mask on the intruder's head, the demon's cross-patterned pupils revealed morbidity and hatred.

"Again?"

Tanjiro caught the key point in the other party's words.

"Fox boy, what year is it in the Meiji era now?" the demon asked.

Tanjiro gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands.

"It's the Taisho era now!"

"Taisho?"

Hearing this, the demon became inexplicably agitated.

"The era! The era has changed! While I was trapped in this place, the era has changed again!

Unforgivable! Unforgivable!

Damn Sakonji! Damn Sakonji! Damn Sakonji!"

Tanjiro protected Jabami without changing his face, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you know Mr. Sakonji?"

"Of course I know, because the one who caught me was Sakonji! Forty-seven years ago, when he was still hunting demons, during the Edo period, in the Keio era!"

Edo period, Keio era!

Jabami was shocked, "Impossible! The demon that was supposed to be here should have only eaten two or three people! How did you..."

"Because I survived on my hatred for Sakonji. Let's see, I've probably eaten about fifty little brats like you."

The demon pointed at Tanjiro.

"And you, are the fourteenth disciple of Sakonji that I'm going to eat. Hee hee hee hee, I've long decided to kill everyone who has anything to do with that guy."

Tanjiro was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

The demon recalled on his own, "The ones who left a deep impression on me should be those two. One of them was a little brat with a rare hair color, with flesh-colored hair and a wound on his mouth.

"The other one is a girl in a kimono with a floral pattern. Although she's quite short and lacks strength, she's remarkably agile."

Tanjiro couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The two people described by the demon were exactly like the partners who had practiced with him for two years.

Could it be!

Tanjiro was about to ask further.

Just then, a tall, black-haired young man appeared out of thin air and aimed a punch at the demon!

Boom!

The monster, four or five meters high, was suddenly thrown into the air.

It roared, breaking more than a dozen trees before it stopped!

The atmosphere was deathly silent.

Jon turned around and looked at the dumbfounded 'Iron Head Radish', "I say, are you here to chat with him, or to kill him?"

"I..."

Tanjiro was at a loss for words.

Jon shook his head and looked at the exclusive system.

'Demon Slayer'

Jon was all too familiar with this world.

Looking at the demon slowly standing up in the distance, his breathing rhythm suddenly changed, and countless golden arcs emerged from his body, "I'll only demonstrate once, you guys watch and learn."

With that, Jon exerted force on his legs and directly flashed in front of the demon.

The demon was startled and quickly used his sturdy arms to protect his only weak point - the neck.

Are you kidding me, can you kill me with seventeen arms?

If you can kill me, I'll chew up this Nichirin Blade and swallow it on the spot!

Jon raised an eyebrow.

I was planning to give you a quick death.

Since you're so disrespectful, don't blame me for being ruthless!

He dropped his sword and swung his fist.

The golden light was brilliant, illuminating the night as if it were day!

Ora ora ora ora ora!

One punch, two punch, three punch...

The demon couldn't believe that his body was disintegrating under the other's fist.

Is this even possible?

In the distance, Tanjiro and Jabami were completely dumbfounded.

The two young men's worldview was greatly shocked.

No, how can you kill a demon without a sword!
