Chapter 643: Yecheng: So This is the So-Called Blood Demon Art?
Chapter 643: Yecheng: So This is the So-Called Blood Demon Art?
The overwhelming display of strength by Yecheng instantly ignited a glimmer of hope within the once-despairing villagers.
Escaping the village at night was challenging, as the man-eating demons possessed keen senses, easily detecting the scent of living humans.
Soon, under the village elder's call, everyone in the village gathered together.
Before Yecheng, five so-called man-eating demons appeared, led by a non-mainstream demon with the word "Lower Quarter" written in his eyes.
Initially, Yecheng cautiously probed, as he was unfamiliar with these man-eating demons.
But after fighting five of them for several minutes, Yecheng realized that these demons, apart from their robust vitality, didn't seem extraordinary. So, he decided to exert his full strength.
If they couldn't be killed, he'd cripple them by severing their limbs, rendering them immobile.
As Yecheng unleashed his power, the demons across from him began to show signs of panic.
They noticed Yecheng's sudden "power-up," and the non-mainstream Lower Quarter demon, seeing his subordinates cut down, turned to Yecheng with a mix of fear and unease.
Yecheng's strength was so overwhelming that the demon had initially mistaken him for a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
However, this assumption was quickly dismissed, as he had never heard of a Demon Slayer using a farming scythe to slay demons! If they had a Sun Wheel Blade, they would have been killed hundreds of times over. Their ignorance of the demons' weaknesses indicated they were merely powerful newcomers.
Of course, even if they were inexperienced newcomers, the Lower Quarter demon felt it was time to leave this place.
If they lingered until sunrise, they would face certain death, even if they couldn't kill him.
The Lower Quarter demon, now hesitant, unleashed the power of the man-eating demons within him and directly used his Blood Demon Art.
In a short time, the demon's body, initially human-sized, began to swell like an inflating balloon.
As he swung his arm towards his body, a sound wave reverberated like a drumbeat, spreading in all directions.
Enveloped by the drum-like sound, Yecheng felt his body become extraordinarily heavy.
The Lower Quarter demon facing him smirked and boasted, "My Blood Demon Art can manipulate gravity in the surrounding area, even increasing it tenfold.
Your body should feel as heavy as a boulder now. Forget about chasing me; even taking a step must be challenging."
Under ten times the gravity, a hundred pounds would feel like a thousand. Not only would ordinary humans struggle, but even man-eating demons might not withstand it.
Just as the Lower Quarter demon was hesitating, contemplating whether to kill Yecheng to regain his lost face, the man with the scythe in front of him scoffed and said, "So, your ultimate ability is this tenfold gravity? I must say, it's a bit underwhelming. I was cautious and probing because I thought you were more capable. With your current level, you might as well be dead!"
At first, the Lower Quarter demon thought Yecheng was just boasting.
After all, under ten times the gravity, even members of the Demon Slayer Corps or man-eating demons would struggle to move without acclimating to such weight.
However, Night City quickly demonstrated with his actions that the so-called tenfold gravity was not a significant challenge in his eyes.
As his head flew up into the air, the Lower Quarter Ghost watched as Night City's figure suddenly appeared before him, and his face also showed disbelief as he asked, "My Blood Ghost Technique is useless against you?"
Night City replied, "It's not that it's useless, but a mere tenfold gravity makes little difference to me."
In the end, the Lower Quarter Ghost was defeated by Night City, and following the villagers' suggestion, he met his demise under the scorching morning sun.
After slaying these Man-Eating Demons, Night City asked the villagers if there was a more efficient way to deal with them. The answer they gave him was the Demon Slayer Corps' Sun Wheel Blade.
When he learned from the villagers that the "Demon Slayer Corps" was an organization dedicated to slaying Man-Eating Demons, Night City's face showed a look of bewilderment.
It was simple; although this world was not the one he originally came from, in Night City's eyes, it bore a striking resemblance to his previous world.
First, the Shinigami World had Hollows that devoured human souls, while this world had Man-Eating Demons that feasted on human flesh.
In the Soul Society, there was the Gotei 13 responsible for suppressing Hollows, while here, there was the so-called "Demon Slayer Corps."
The Soul Blades of Shinigami were unique, and the Sun Wheel Blades of the Demon Slayer Corps seemed to be similarly special.
Of course, regardless of how similar the Demon Slayer Corps and Gotei 13 were, since he had arrived in a world infested with Man-Eating Demons, Night City was determined to acquire the Sun Wheel Blade, a weapon capable of efficiently slaying demons.
This was also the reason why Night City found himself in the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.
The scene shifted back to the previous moment. Facing Genyuu Tsuguyaki's request, Night City hesitated for a moment before asking, "After joining the so-called Demon Slayer Corps, do I have to stay here like them and follow your orders, acting under your instructions?"
Any organization would naturally have its rules, and if one wasn't the leader, they would inevitably be subject to others' control.
To be honest, Night City didn't mind the task of slaying Man-Eating Demons, but if he joined the Demon Slayer Corps, he would become a mere errand boy, taking orders from others, which he couldn't quite accept.
Back in the Soul Society, he had no choice; he could either be an ordinary soul in Soul Street or become a Shinigami.
But now, he had options.
Night City wasn't entirely clear about the level of martial prowess in this world, but judging by the status of the Pillar members present, they should be equivalent to the captains of the Gotei 13.
However, to be frank, Night City didn't sense any threat from anyone here.
"Members of the Demon Slayer Corps are usually very busy and can't stay here permanently.
As for orders and missions, if Night City is willing to join the Demon Slayer Corps, I wouldn't mind giving you some special privileges.
You can decide whether to accept the missions of the Demon Slayer Corps, and we won't force you to do anything."
Upon hearing Genyuu Tsuguyaki's words, the Pillars in the room were about to speak, but he stopped them.
After silencing the Pillars, Genyuu Tsuguyaki continued, "But if Night City wishes to have such privileges, he must also demonstrate matching strength to us."
