Chapter 642: Night City, Brother, Nice to Meet You!
Chapter 642: Night City, Brother, Nice to Meet You!
"Lord Yecheng, the man-eating demons you slew last night are not uncommon in this world, and their numbers are ever-increasing.
For centuries, the Demon Slayer Corps has kept their numbers in check to some extent, but the man-eating demons continue to multiply.
The village you mentioned is not an exception; this happens every night in different places.
Lord Yecheng, with your strength, I, Genyuu Tsugikado, humbly request that you exert more effort in slaying these demons."
As Genyuu Tsugikado finished speaking, his kneeling posture slowly bent towards Night City in a gesture of respect.
The other Pillars present were moved by Genyuu Tsugikado's actions, and they wanted to stop him from bowing so low.
Genyuu Tsugikado was not only the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps but also their lord. As his vassals, they couldn't bear to see their lord bow so humbly to another.
To be honest, although this was the first time Night City had met this man named Genyuu Tsugikado, his brief interaction left a positive impression.
He was sincere, genuine, and kind. Judging by the reactions of the Pillars, he seemed to treat his subordinates well and possessed a strong personal charm.
Furthermore, the fact that he was bowing to Night City, not for his own benefit but for the sake of others, was commendable.
If they were in the Warring States Era, Genyuu Tsugikado would likely be a wise and benevolent ruler.
Night City hesitated for a moment, considering Genyuu Tsugikado's offer.
To be frank, Night City's arrival in this world was entirely unexpected.
He never imagined that after being hit by a stray arrow, he would directly cross over into another world again.
When Night City first arrived, he thought he had been transported back to the Soul Street in the Soul Society.
The environment and cultural level of this world were similar to that of Soul Street, indicating a relatively backward era.
However, after wandering around for a while and encountering locals, Night City realized that this world was no longer the Shinigami world he knew.
The reason was simple; although the culture and era were comparable to Soul Street, Night City could still discern the difference between souls and mortals.
The village that took Night City in, upon learning that he was a wandering swordsman seeking a place to settle down, warmly invited him to stay.
After all, in this era, young and strong men were the backbone of every village, directly influencing its prosperity.
After staying in the village for a few days, Night City began to enjoy the peaceful life. While the culture was a bit backward, it was at least safe.
In his previous world, he had to face powerful enemies like Aizen, but in this world, such concerns seemed irrelevant.
A few days later, while asleep, Night City was suddenly awakened by several malicious auras. He could taste faint blood and foul odors in the air.
A young girl from the village, terrified, knocked on his door and informed him of a man-eating demon attacking the village, urging him to flee.
It was then that Night City realized the world he had crossed into was not a peaceful one.
And as he sensed the few malicious presences within the village, Yecheng didn't hesitate to pick up a farming sickle from his room and rush towards the direction of the man-eating demons.
After arriving in this world, the villagers had taken good care of him, and since he had decided to stay, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch what was happening before him.
Moreover, regarding the so-called "man-eating demons," Yecheng also wanted to see what these things were.
When Yecheng found the man-eating demons, one of them, a disheveled and wild-haired fellow, was holding a crying little girl with one hand.
The demon's mouth, filled with sharp teeth, was wide open, and it seemed as if it was about to bite off the little girl's head.
The little girl held by the demon was crying incessantly, and not far away, her parents were sobbing their hearts out. They wanted to rush forward to save their daughter, but they were held back by other villagers.
Because they were well aware that ordinary people were powerless against these demons. If this couple tried to save their daughter, it would only result in becoming an extra meal for the demons; there was no other possibility.
Just as everyone was filled with panic and despair, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind, holding a sickle used for harvesting wheat, and with incredible speed, charged towards the man-eating demon.
"Yecheng, don't do anything reckless!"
"Kid, that's a man-eating demon; ordinary humans can't defeat them!"
When the villagers realized that the figure rushing towards the demon was Yecheng, they all exclaimed in surprise.
However, very soon, something happened that astonished everyone present.
They saw the demon, who had been holding the little girl with one hand and wearing a disdainful expression, suddenly felt a gleam in front of its eyes. Before it could react, one of its arms flew into the air!
A fountain of blood gushed out from the severed arm, and the little girl, who had been held by the demon, was now caught by Yecheng with one hand.
The demon, now missing an arm, watched as its meal, which was almost in its mouth, slipped away. It was enraged that the young man in front of it dared to cut off its arm. It tried to grab Yecheng with its remaining hand.
Unfortunately, as it reached out, Yecheng's counterattack was even faster.
As Yecheng caught the falling girl in mid-air, he spun and delivered a whip kick.
"Crack—!"
The demon, which had reached out to grab Yecheng, had its arm broken before it could even reach him. The force of the kick was such that the demon's body was sent flying over ten meters away.
From Yecheng's sudden appearance to save the girl, to severing the demon's arm, and then kicking the demon away, all of this happened in less than a minute.
By the time everyone present reacted, they were all left dumbfounded.
Earlier, Yecheng had introduced himself as a wandering swordsman, but the villagers had merely listened without taking it seriously. After all, what kind of swordsman doesn't carry a sword?
Most of the villagers had considered Yecheng as a refugee, and they didn't take his words seriously, thinking he was just trying to save face.
But they never expected Yecheng to be so powerful!
"Brother Yecheng, you're so amazing!"
Children's hearts are like this; one moment they are scared to death, but now, in Yecheng's embrace, seeing the terrifying man-eating demon being kicked away by the powerful Brother Yecheng, their faces were filled with happiness and curious smiles.
"Village Elder, gather everyone in the village to my side. If you all scatter too much, I won't be able to take care of everyone."
