  Chapter 56: Death of the Upper Rank

  One A chilling murderous aura was approaching, and the skin on Lin Yi's neck seemed to be gently pierced by countless ice needles, causing a chill.

  Lin Yi quickly took two steps back, and the black and white rose sword in his hand drew an elegant arc, accurately blocking Jifutaro's fierce attack.

  At the moment of metal collision, a crisp sound echoed in the air, sparks flew, and a brief brilliance bloomed in the dark night sky.

  Jifutaro's strength was astonishingly great, and every time they fought, Lin Yi felt his arms slightly numb.

  Looking at the prostitute Taro who had lost his mind and fallen into madness, Lin Yi took a deep breath and gathered all his strength.

  In the gap between Jifutaro's attacks, Lin Yi exerted force suddenly and hit Jifutaro's abdomen heavily with a knee strike.

  The force of this blow was so great that Jifutaro was knocked backwards and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

  However, Jifutaro did not care about his injuries.

  Hundreds of years of combat experience had already numbed his nerves to pain.

  Jifutaro laughed crazily, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes, and continued to launch fierce attacks on Lin Yi.

  Each knife strike contained deadly force, as if it was going to kill Lin Yi.

  After a few seconds, Jifutaro's expression suddenly froze. He felt a wave of weakness and his body's strength seemed to be rapidly draining away.

  He looked down and saw a broken reagent tube stuck in his abdomen, with blood oozing from the wound.

  This test tube is exactly the [Blood Inhibitor] that Zhu Shi had given to Lin Yi before.

  Seeing that Jifutaro was in a bad state, Lin Yi did not hesitate or show any mercy.

  Taking advantage of the moment when the [Blood Inhibitor] took effect, Lin Yi launched a fierce offensive.

  The black and white rose sword fluttered and danced in Lin Yi's hand, the sword light flashed, and every swing of the sword left a deep wound on Jifu Taro's body.

  Blood gushed out from the wound, staining the prostitute Taro's clothes red, as well as the roof beneath his feet.

  In an instant, dozens of wounds appeared on Jifutaro's body, and he stood on the roof like a bloody man.

  However, there was still a mad look in Jifutaro's eyes.

  He tried to swing the blade in his hand to fight back, but his weak body could no longer support his fighting spirit.

  "Leave my brother!" Seeing Jifutaro in trouble, Daki let out an angry roar.

  Du Ji used her own blood and vitality as a medium to perform blood ghost magic, forming blood-colored ribbons and launching a fierce attack on Lin Yi.

  These blood-colored ribbons danced in the air like flexible snakes. They coiled and spun, shooting towards Lin Yi at an extremely fast speed.

  While Lin Yi was concentrating on cutting the blood-red ribbon, Daki let the ribbon wrap around Jifutaro's body and quickly took him away from Lin Yi's attack range.

  After Jifutaro was taken to a safe place, he looked at Daki, whose breath was getting weaker, and a trace of deep self-blame flashed in his eyes.

  He said weakly: "Mei, go away and leave me alone."

  Lin Yi's voice echoed in the night sky, "Leave? Neither of you have to leave today." This sentence was like a verdict, and the hearts of Daki and Jifutaro sank.

  Lin Yi walked slowly out of the darkness, the moonlight falling on him, outlining his tall figure.

  The prostitute Taro and Daki who fell at Lin Yi's feet were ragged and covered with wounds, looking like a pitiful brother and sister who had been hunted endlessly.

  This strong contrast can easily give people the illusion that Lin Yi is the heartless, ruthless and merciless villain.

  At this time, the poison that Shinobu Kocho carefully prepared finally began to take effect.

  The heads of Jifutaro and Daki became extremely dizzy, and their consciousness was firmly suppressed by an invisible force.

  The simple action of raising their heads now required them to use all their strength to complete.

  The sword flashed as fast as lightning, instantly piercing through the bodies of Jifutaro and Daki.

  This pair of waxing moons that once caused countless Demon Slayer Corps members headaches were now easily strung together like a candied haws under Lin Yi's sword.  

  Their bodies were pressed against the sword, and blood dyed the black and white rose blade red, dripping onto the ground with a dull sound.

  The sound was particularly harsh in the silent night sky, as if announcing their end.

  Daki's eyes were filled with fear and unwillingness. She looked at Jifutaro, as if trying to find a little comfort from him.

  Jifutaro wanted to pick up the sickle to protect his sister, but unfortunately, his body could no longer support him to complete this action.

  With Lin Yi's horizontal slash, the bodies of Jifutaro and Daki were cut off at the same time.

  Their bodies gradually dissipated in the moonlight, and finally turned into a pile of ashes, which were blown away by the wind in this world.

  The iron rule that no one died on the waxing moon for hundreds of years was finally broken at this moment.

  [You killed the Twelve Demon Moons——Upper Moon, Daki. ]

  [Daki is a key character in the plot, and obtains 8.4% of the source of the world. Now she has obtained 38% of the source of the world. ]

  [You killed the Twelve Demon Moons - Upper Six Moons, Jifu Taro. ]

  [Jifu Taro is a key character in the plot, and has obtained 10.2% of the source of the world. He has now obtained a total of 48.2% of the source of the world. ]

  [Obtained 10,000 points of contribution from the Demon Slayer Corps. ]

  [Obtain the Blue Treasure Box: Twins]

  The moment the prompt sounded, the black and white rose in Lin Yi's hand also underwent a drastic change.

  After a series of fierce battles and baptisms, the origin of death contained in the black and white rose finally accumulated to 100% saturation.

  At this moment, the sword suddenly burst out with a strong and deep black light, as if it had drawn strength from the endless abyss, tightly surrounding the entire weapon.

  From the appearance, the black and white rose did not change much, but Lin Yi could feel the transformation that had taken place in it.

  The sword blade became brighter than before. The light was not simply reflected, but transmitted from the inside of the sword. Just one glance could make people realize its extraordinaryness.

  A flash of green light indicated that the Black and White Rose Sword had finally completed its upgrade.

  After the upgrade, the Black and White Rose has been reborn, with both its lethality and durability significantly improved.

  Witnessing all this, Shinobu Kocho whistled, and a crow circling in the sky came over when she heard the sound.

  She took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote on it the six words "Upper Moon Continent has been destroyed".

  Then she tied the note to the crow's feet and sent it into the sky.

  (End of this chapter)
