Chapter 38: Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū · Liu Qi
Bai Cangshu's breathing maintained a peculiar rhythm between his nose and mouth, and the Ripple generated by the vibrations within his body possessed a frequency identical to the sun.
This was the reason for Bai Cangshu's smile when he saw that the world he entered was Demon Slayer.
Perhaps, at this moment, he possessed a "special attack against demons" more terrifying than Sun Breathing.
Whoosh~
Professor and the others were startled, seeing that the Ogre's true body, hidden within its massive form, was burning in the hands of that terrifying Reincarnator whose appearance was hard to look at directly.
Is it a fire-type ability?
No, Professor quickly dismissed his guess, because he saw that the Ogre rapidly turned to ashes in the flames.
It was actually killed directly.
Killing an Ogre directly without relying on a Nichirin Blade, although high-level abilities could do it, a Reincarnator entering the same world as a newcomer like himself would certainly not be a very powerful Reincarnator.
"Ripple?"
Bai Cangshu looked at Professor, who, realizing his slip of the tongue, took two steps back.
Before Bai Cangshu could speak, the dense forest suddenly began to shake violently, and the sound of rustling leaves grew louder and louder.
Professor suddenly realized something and said,
"Run, it's an Ogre tide!"
Whoosh!
A figure broke through the air, lunging directly from the dense forest towards the speaking Professor.
Bai Cangshu's pupils trembled slightly. His excellent dynamic vision saw that the figure lunging was an Ogre with blue skin and wearing ragged hemp clothes. Judging by its build, this Ogre must have become a demon when he was still a child.
"Dinner time!"
After Professor gave the warning, his heart skipped a beat. When he heard the whooshing sound, he knew something was wrong. He only had time to raise his hand and fire a random shot in front of him before being instantly tackled.
Bang!
Professor's hand cannon made a huge noise, exploding again in the night.
Professor's shoulder ached. He saw an Ogre with half of his body missing, biting into his shoulder with blood-red eyes. With just one bite, his bare white bone was exposed.
"Ah!"
As Professor cried out in pain, a large number of dark figures continuously lunged from the dense forest, and terrifying howls also sounded at this moment.
"Little ones, it's fresh humans!"
Dozens of Ogres rushed out of the forest, each one emitting a foul stench.
This scene caused the pupils of the two Reincarnators wearing night clothes to shrink. They exchanged glances and instantly turned around, fleeing towards the outer edge.
What team cooperation? In this situation, their own lives were the most important thing in the world!
Their escape caused a series of howls among the Ogres.
"Those two swordsmen ran away!"
"Let's eat here first!"
"As expected, below Mount Fujikasane, it's all pasture!"
Amidst the wild roars, dozens of Ogres howled and lunged at the remaining Reincarnators.
Professor's heart also suffocated at this scene, but suddenly, the man in the bamboo hat raised his head, and the long sword at his waist instantly unsheathed.
Clang!
Under the moonlight, a silver-white blade flash instantly appeared.
Puff!
Professor's pupils shrank. Scarlet blood sprayed on his face. He wiped the blood from his glasses before he saw that the Reigen Arataka biting his shoulder was already shattered into four pieces, lying on the ground, constantly trembling.
The man in the bamboo hat held the sheath in one hand and the sword in the other. The blade of the katana was clear, and the man's stance was also very relaxed.
"Hmm? There are still swordsmen?"
An Ogre with green hair covering his face saw this scene, took two steps back, stepped into the darkness, and his figure slowly merged into the darkness and disappeared.
The man in the bamboo hat's heart also sank slightly. This was clearly an Ogre who had mastered Blood Demon Art.
In Demon Slayer, Ogres have clear stage distinctions. Newly born Ogres are often just beasts with speed, strength, and recovery power higher than ordinary humans. If there are many people, or if there are brave warriors, they can also be defeated by physical strength.
But if these Ogres eat a large number of humans, they will evolve. While their speed, strength, and recovery power are enhanced, they will awaken a special ability called Blood Demon Art.
These Ogres are often more difficult to deal with and require the Demon Slayer Corps to send elites or multiple people to deal with them.
Further on, there are special individuals called the Twelve Kizuki.
How could this mission encounter so many demons, and among them, individuals who have mastered Blood Demon Art...
This mission has a problem!
The man in the bamboo hat, Liu Qi, guessed this in his heart, but his hands did not stop for a moment. He sheathed his sword, lowered his center of gravity, slightly bent his knees, and loosely gripped the sword hilt with his right hand.
His whole person instantly exuded a terrifying killing intent.
Professor covered his shoulder and took two steps back. Hesitation flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he gritted his teeth, held the hand cannon with both hands, raised his hand, and fired at the howling Ogres charging forward.
Bang!
With a huge sound, the air was also blown away.
A large number of fine pellets instantly riddled the several Ogres jumping in the air.
Just at this moment, in the shadow behind Professor, the Ogre with a full head of green hair reappeared from the darkness. He grinned, his teeth intertwined in his mouth, and the undigested flesh emitted a foul smell.
Professor smelled this scent, turned his head, and only saw that his mouth had torn all the way to his neck, biting down on his head.

He saw out of the corner of his eye that the man in the bamboo hat was still maintaining the drawing stance and had not made a move. Professor's heart turned cold.
I... I'm going to die.
Clang!
The next moment, the man in the bamboo hat instantly drew his sword, so fast that his arm and the blade were completely invisible. Only a rising crescent moon was seen, and the huge mouth, along with the body, was cut off.
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū · Godspeed Drawing Technique...
Professor was knocked down by the inertia of the lunging corpse. He understood the man in the bamboo hat's ability in his heart, and he guessed that the level of this drawing technique was probably at least above Lv4, and it was paired with a considerably high level of swordsmanship specialization.
This person is a master!
The man in the bamboo hat resolved the crisis with one strike and did not stop, turning around and continuing to draw his sword.
If the sword is not sheathed, then use the sword sheath to cut!
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū · Sōryūsen!
Puff!
The wooden sword sheath instantly sent another Ogre lunging at Liu Qiflying. The force was so great that the Ogre's cervical spine was completely broken.
Liu Qi's sword light constantly flashed. On the other side, the burly blond man, at this time, also cooperated with his female companion, continuously sending Ogres flying.
The few Reincarnators barely managed to avoid casualties.
Even Professor, who was injured at the beginning, had calmed down at this time.
Suddenly, he realized the problem. Where was the man with Ripple?
[You killed an Ogre, gained 10 dimensional points]
[You killed an Ogre, gained 15 dimensional points]
[You killed Ogre · Kentarō, gained 100 dimensional points]
[Milestone · Demon Hunter progress updated, currently 6/20]
...
Bai Cangshu ran wildly through the dense forest. He felt as if he had found a monster spawner while playing a game.
Ripple was a power that could instantly turn beings afraid of sunlight, such as Pillar Men and vampires, into dust. The Ogres in the Demon Slayer World were no exception.
The Ripple on his fist was as pure as sunlight. With one punch, the Ogre began to burn.
"Quickly go find Hand Demon-sama, this guy... Ah!"
Bai Cangshu stomped his left foot violently, his figure as fierce as a raging fire, and slammed his fist, along with the Ogre, onto a tree trunk.
Bang!
As the bowl-thick tree fell, pale flames also burned on the Ogre, and in an instant, the Ogre turned into black ash and drifted down.
Bai Cangshu's figure was wild, chasing Ogres through the dense forest.
