Third Rakshasa Palm!
Huff~ huff!
The Professor tried her best to control her panting. Although she knew this mission would be difficult, she didn't expect it to be this dangerous.
A team mission for seven Reincarnators almost resulted in a total wipeout on the first night.
Her left shoulder was bandaged, and there was a wound on her thigh. The man with the bamboo hat, Liu Qi, no longer had his previous relaxed demeanor. His bamboo hat had a gap, revealing his slightly stern face.
The other duo also had injuries on their bodies.
After the initial panic, the few of them discovered that many Ogres had gone to pursue the other three, so they fought and retreated until they reached their current hiding place.
Calling it a hiding place was a bit of a stretch; it was just a wisteria flower forest. In this area, many wisteria flowers were in full bloom, creating a beautiful and enchanting sight under the night sky.
More importantly, wisteria flowers are highly poisonous to creatures like demons. Therefore, the dozen or so pursuing Ogres, after recovering from their injuries, could only linger in the distance, not daring to approach.
The burly blonde man breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene. His muscular body sagged slightly. After the Woman beside him treated his wound, they came before The Professor and Liu Qi and said coldly,
"Among you, there must be a special Reincarnator."
The Woman had long green hair that was loosely curled behind her. She was tall and looked down on them, exuding a strong presence.
Her main target of observation was Liu Qi, the man wearing the bamboo hat. This man's combat power was indeed quite extraordinary. He was probably close to the [Bing] rank, if not already there.
If she didn't use that move, she might not be able to defeat that kind of Godspeed sword drawing technique.
For Reincarnators, if future growth potential is not considered, the most powerful early-stage combat style is undoubtedly the shooting style relying on firearms.
Combined with the characteristics of the Reincarnation World, after reaching a certain level, enemies can almost never be defeated by conventional firearms. Immortality, regeneration, and impenetrable defense mean firearms will eventually hit a bottleneck, but people won't.
Therefore, [Close Combat] is considered the most powerful style in the eyes of most people.
In the early stage, it possesses one of the best killing powers among melee styles, and in the mid-to-late stage, it has huge room for growth. As the saying goes, one sword can break all spells. Whether in anime worlds, film and television worlds, or novel derivative worlds, it is a very powerful style.
The Professor's eyes flickered. She also looked at Liu Qi, but Liu Qisnorted and shook his head, saying,
"Why do you two little girls need to test this old man? You clearly saw it. That guy wearing the disgusting pink robe is the most abnormal existence in the team, right?"
"The first Ogre that appeared targeted him immediately. Even after its head was cut off, its main body appeared but didn't attack The Professor who shot it. Instead, it still focused its attack on that guy..."
"He is probably the strongest among us."
The Professor realized that this Liu Qi was not as simple as he appeared. Although he wore a bamboo hat, he saw the situation very clearly.
The green-haired Woman's expression softened slightly at this moment.
"It seems there are no fools here. Then I'll be direct. This mission world... has a problem."
"Vincent and I have seen this situation before. This so-called [demon slayer Derivative World P9971] must have undergone a major mutation, completely different from the original plot direction, hence the abnormally difficult mission."
The green-haired Woman's code name was Elizabeth. Her face was grim. She had only participated in one mission where the world's plot changed on such a large scale, but in that instance, out of the 16 Reincarnators in the mission world, only 3 returned to Space.
The Professor pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"That's right. I also think we might have been misled by the hint [This world has not been affected by Reincarnators]. This is a derivative world, and its progression is not necessarily the same as the original demon slayer world."
"And... just now, an Ogre mentioned Mount Fujikasane. If I'm not mistaken, the place we are currently in is probably the venue for the [Final Selection] in the original work—Mount Fujikasane."
Liu Qi and Elizabeth were both startled. They looked up at the dense wisteria flowers above their heads and had to believe that this place might indeed be where the Demon Slayer Corps imprisoned Ogres as the entrance examination for demon slayer swordsmen.
And now, this place had clearly been destroyed, with demons running rampant. The wisteria forest surrounding Mount Fujikasane was only left with this small section, completely unable to prevent the Ogres from escaping.
Vincent touched the bloody wound on his chest. He was just a hair's breadth away from being cut in half by the Ogre that could split blood like sharp blades from a distance.
"Are those three guys still alive?"
The Professor was also unsure and could only say,
"Perhaps. We can look for them when dawn breaks. This kind of world is not one we can mess around in."

[You killed the Ogre · Xiaohuo, gaining 200 dimensional points]
[Milestone · Demon Hunter progress updated, current: 9/20]
Bai Cangshu had unknowingly entered the depths of the dense forest. He finally killed this Ogre that could change direction strangely in the air. The opponent's Blood Demon Art was quite special, seemingly able to borrow strength from thin air.
At this moment, Bai Cangshu also had a few wounds on his body, but the injuries were all shallow.
When Bai Cangshu wore the pink robe of Tao Bai Bai, his agility attribute was as high as 16 points. Bai Cangshu's neural reflexes and physical reaction speed were both extremely exaggerated.
The Ogre changed direction mid-air, but Bai Cangshu could always dodge. In the end, he even seized an opening and punched the opponent's head to pieces.
"Xiaohuo, the name is quite good."
Bai Cangshu said this, but his Mental state was actually highly focused. His [Killing Intent Perception] told him that a strong killing intent was enveloping him.
Rumble.
A huge tremor suddenly came from the ground. Bai Cangshu's heart stirred, he raised his right foot high and stomped down fiercely.

Boom!
Amidst the strong impact, the huge greenish-gray arm that broke through the ground paused, while Bai Cangshu was thrown into the air by an even stronger force.
Bai Cangshu instantly arrived above the dense forest, finally taking in the surrounding terrain completely. This was a continuous high mountain. There were sparse sections of wisteria forest around the mountain's periphery, but the inside of the mountain was already a mess.
And beneath Bai Cangshu's feet, the greenish-gray giant hand fully extended from underground. It was actually a huge arm over dozens of meters long, with a palm size probably exceeding three meters in diameter.
And the main body of that thing also looked up and saw Bai Cangshubeing thrown into the air.
The Ogre's eyes narrowed with a smile. Its body was huge, appearing to be made of bluestone. Circles of arms completely surrounded its body, with only parts inserted underground for attack.
Hand Demon!
It was supposed to be a slightly stronger Ogre in Mount Fujikasane, but what was displayed before Bai Cangshu at this moment was already not on the same level as the Hand Demon that Tanjiro encountered in the original work.
Because its arms were wrapped around its neck, the sound from its mouth was also very muffled.
"Hehe, are there still remnants of the Demon Slayer Corps now?"
"Eating you, that Lord will probably be a bit happier!"
This powerful Hand Demon, which had swallowed who knows how many people at this point, showed clear writing in its eyes—[Lower Moon], but unlike the Lower Moons in Bai Cangshu's impression, there was no number in its eyes.
Several huge arms simultaneously reached from the ground towards the sky, like several giant pythons rising from the earth.
Bai Cangshu's breathing frequency in his nose and mouth slightly changed, and his heart began to beat intensely.
His whole body's muscles swelled, and his pupils also turned pure white.
Bai Cangshu's upward momentum disappeared. Using the force of gravity from his descent, his right arm tightened backward like a taut bowstring, and his right hand continuously rotated inward. The terrifying force completely twisted the swollen muscles of Bai Cangshu's right arm.
At the same time, Ripple was fully operating. Through breathing containing a special rhythm, the blood in Bai Cangshu's body began to vibrate, and faint chi emanated from Bai Cangshu's body. Circles of Ripples began to appear from Bai Cangshu's right hand.
