Chapter 12 Guidance

 "Hahaha!" The {ghost} laughed triumphantly. With the hostage in hand, it had the capital to be arrogant in front of Bai Yu again.

  "Look at what I have in my hand? If you don't want them to die, hand over the knife in your hand!" The {ghost} directly ordered Bai Yu.

  In its view, the most threatening thing is the Demon Slayer Sword, so it thinks that as long as Bai Yu loses the Demon Slayer Sword, he will just be food for it to slaughter!

  Assuming Bai Yu doesn't obey, then it will naturally eat the brother and sister, and then make itself stronger, and finally kill Bai Yu.

  Of course, this is all the {ghost}'s speculation. In fact, Bai Yu didn't take the {ghost}'s threat seriously at all.

  First: Even if the {ghost} eats Tanjiro, it won't affect him.

  Second: Nezuko is also a {ghost}, so there is no need to be afraid that this {wild ghost} can easily kill her.

  Third: As a {ghost}, Nezuko's fighting power is naturally not to be underestimated, although she has never eaten people.

  "You use them to threaten me, which is the most stupid behavior." Bai Yu said lightly.

  As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Nezuko suddenly rioted and kicked the head of the {ghost} off in mid-air.

  ——"How is it possible! This girl is actually a ghost! Why is she mixed with humans!"

  "Activate water breathing!"

  Just as Nezuko kicked, Bai Yu used the water breathing method obtained as a mission reward. After using water breathing, Bai Yu's body functions in all aspects have been significantly improved.

  In a breath of time, Bai Yu came to the headless ghost body, and then the demon sword chopped the ghost hand that pinched Tanjiro's arm, and finally Tanjiro fell to the ground together with the chopped ghost hand.

  Tanjiro, who was saved, pulled off the ghost's hand at once, and then said to Bai Yu: "Thank you, senior!"

  Bai Yu ignored Tanjiro's thanks, but said to him: "The ghost head that was kicked off will be left to you to deal with, just treat it as a test for you! Don't let him run away! Otherwise, more people will be hurt, just like your family!"

  Hearing this, Tanjiro was stunned. He didn't expect Bai Yu to let him deal with the {ghost}, but Bai Yu's later words did touch him.

  "Senior, what about you?" Tanjiro asked curiously before taking action.

  "Of course, I have to deal with this ghost body, and at the same time I have to protect your sister." Bai Yu replied.

  Tanjiro soon realized that Bai Yu alone could not take care of the {ghost} whose head and body had been separated. If Bai Yu relied on himself, it is very likely that he would let go of part of it. The

  {ghost} has a strong regeneration ability. As long as it is not completely killed, even if only a small part of the body is left, it can recover.

  "I understand!" Tanjiro didn't ask any more questions, picked up the axe he had used for many years, and went to deal with the ghost head.

  Bai Yu used the water breathing again and swung more than a dozen times at the headless ghost body. Bai Yu's attack was not very powerful. The blade only left scars of varying depths on the ghost body, and did not decompose the ghost body.

  Of course, this is the effect Bai Yu wanted. After all, this ghost body is not the main body of the ghost. If it is decomposed, it will only increase the {ghost}'s clones and increase the {ghost}'s chance of escaping successfully.

  If you want to know why Bai Yu didn't kill the {ghost}'s main body directly, one of the reasons is because of Tanjiro.

  After all, he is the protagonist of this world, and this is what he should have experienced. If Bai Yu did everything for Tanjiro. It would trigger a butterfly effect, and then cause unpredictable serious consequences.

  So Bai Yu knew that his existence could only serve as a guide, not a leader.
