Chapter 20: Crowds, Suspicion, Competition
Suddenly, a voice brightened Zhou Tian's eyes, and a small bronze chest appeared in front of him, floating above the gradually dissolving Corpe.
Suddenly remembering something, Zhou Tian reached out abruptly, and a triangular light flickered.
"Just a little bit more!" Zhou Tian said with some regret.
The boiling Blood demon turned into ashes too quickly, and Zhou Tian didn't have time to decompose it.
"But with this chest, it's not a loss!" Zhou Tian looked at the palm-sized chest, smiling.
Not all killed characters drop a chest; only those with a certain weight in the story will form a chest.
The so-called weight is the importance the character holds in this era or the entire world.
Once the standard is reached, the person's death will gather the world's origin power.
Infinite Chaos City will use part of it and this person's existence to condense the treasure chest.
This is one cubic meter of storage space owned by Zhou Tian as a first-level contractor.
Zhou Tian raised his hand, ready to open the chest when he heard a noise. He quickly pulled down the eye mask.
Following the scent of the wind, Rengoku Kyōjurō was coming.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Zhou Tian heard a knock on the door, walked to the door, and opened it.
Rengoku Kyōjurō stood outside.
"Young man, the lord has agreed to your request, but there are some things he wants to discuss with you in detail." Rengoku Kyōjurō said.
Zhou Tian nodded, saying, "Lead the way!"
Following Rengoku Kyōjurō, they left the town, walked a distance, and got on a carriage, blindfolded.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
In an exquisite room, a young-looking person with bloodshot eyes and an angry face.
"Gone! A Lower Moon Demon disappeared without any response, what's going on?" The person's angry roar sounded like an adult.
This is the Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan, now in the appearance of a young person.
"Crack!"
The hard desktop was cracked by five fingers.
Kibutsuji Muzan's heart was filled with anger. He was not the first demon to lose control like this.
Turning around and walking into the dark night, Kibutsuji Muzan exuded a murderous aura.
On the other side, Zhou Tian felt a long period of turbulence.
"Young man, we've arrived!"
Rengoku Kyōjurō's voice echoed, and Zhou Tian pulled off the eye mask.
"Futile effort!" Zhou Tian muttered. With the perception of wind and smell, he already knew the route.
Zhou Tian stood in front of a courtyard; this was the headquarters of the Demon Slayers Corp!
Rengoku Kyōjurō reached out to open the door, and Zhou Tian quickly followed. As soon as he entered the yard, he felt multiple hostile auras.
Behind the gate was a stone path with houses on the right and an artificial mountain with a pond on the left, creating a picturesque scene.
However, a group of fierce-looking people destroyed the scenery.
A person with white eyes and an unusually tall figure stood with hands clasped together.
Zhou Tian noticed him the moment he entered, and he exuded a strong threat.
A glint flashed in Zhou Tian's eyes.
" Gyomei Himejima, second-tier combat power. He poses a greater threat than Rengoku Kyōjurō; he is also in the second tier!" Zhou Tian frowned slightly.
The division of combat power was somewhat blurry, and Zhou Tian wondered why there wasn't an upper, middle, and lower classification.
A quick glance revealed that, apart from a few exceptions, most had first-tier combat power.
"It seems that the combat power of the Pillars should range from the top of the first tier to the early second tier. The Lower Moons are first-tier, and the Upper Moons should be second-tier, at least at the top level," Zhou Tian thought.
If this conversion was accurate, the Demon King was at least third-tier top-level, far beyond Zhou Tian's strength at the second tier.
Even facing Upper Moons, he could only barely escape!
"After all, it's just speculation. The actual strength must be verified through a battle!" Zhou Tian thought.
Suddenly, the person leading them, Rengoku Kyōjurō, stopped.
A short, scar-faced young man blocked their way.
"What are you doing, Nosuke?" Rengoku Kyōjurō stopped and asked.
"We've seen the lord's letter, but we haven't witnessed him in action. How can you be sure he's stronger than you?" Inosuke Hashibira, with a scarred face, said with bloodshot eyes.
Rengoku Kyōjurō looked at Inosuke Hashibira and thought of the scene he had seen yesterday, becoming more determined.
"Trust me, Inosuke. The young man is very powerful." Rengoku Kyōjurō laughed and said.
"Young man? You don't even know his name. How can I believe you? Rengoku Kyōjurō, you're too careless!" Inosuke Hashibira said irritably.
Rengoku Kyōjurō was slightly stunned, then widened his eyes.
"Splurt!"
Suddenly, a charming laughter sounded, capturing everyone's attention.
Zhou Tian looked over, seeing a girl with pink hair, green-tipped ends, wearing pink clothes that exposed her chest, with a cute face but a revealing bosom.
She stood there with a suppressed smile.
"I didn't expect Kyōjurō's stunned look to be so cute!" Kanroji Mitsuri immersed herself in her own world.
"Young man, I'm Rengoku Kyōjurō. What's your name?" A loud shout came from the front. Zhou Tian looked at Rengoku Kyōjurō, who had turned towards him.
"Zhou Tian!"
Inosuke Hashibira suddenly stepped past Rengoku Kyōjurō, standing aggressively in front of Zhou Tian.
"Kid, strength can only be proven through a fight." Inosuke Hashibira glared at Zhou Tian.
Zhou Tian looked at the fierce-looking Inosuke Hashibira and then turned to the buildings, saying, "Is this what you mean?"
Everyone was stunned and followed Zhou Tian's gaze.
"Cough!"
The sound of coughing came from behind the door. The wooden door was pushed open, revealing a man with white eyes and numerous red marks on his face.
He was , the head of the Demon Slayers Corp and the head of the Ubuyashiki family, from the same family as the Demon King.
Beside him and behind him, there was a woman and two children.
"I'm sorry; although I trust Kyōjurō, what you're asking for is not a small matter. Without truly witnessing Zhou Tian's strength, I cannot make a decision!" Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the man with a fierce appearance, said.
Zhou Tian listened to the strange and unfamiliar Chinese with some surprise; it seemed that the other party's information system was indeed powerful.
Squinting his eyes, Zhou Tian looked at the weakened Kagaya Ubuyashiki and suddenly smiled, "You want me to have a fight with this guy, right?"
If it only required one fight to obtain all the Breathing Techniques, Zhou Tian didn't mind.
This was the purpose of his trip. If he didn't want to join the Demon Slayers Corp, he wouldn't bother with such trouble.
"Good, Genya Shinazugawa is one of the only two Pillars who can fully unleash their strength without using a sword. You and him can have a match!" Kagaya Ubuyashiki said, then looked at Genya Shinazugawa.
Genya Shinazugawa took off the Nichirin Blade around his waist and threw it to his companion, staring at Zhou Tian with fierce eyes.
