Chapter 646: The Color of Yecheng's Sun Wheel Blade
Chapter 646: The Color of Yecheng's Sun Wheel Blade
After three days of assessment, Yecheng returned to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters early on the third day, looking exhausted.
When he met Genyuu Tsugikado and the Pillar members again, Yecheng threw all the information he had onto the ground, saying, "There were a total of thirty-eight pieces of information about the Man-Eating Demons' whereabouts that you provided.
Five of them were false leads; the culprits were not Man-Eating Demons. By the time I arrived, three of the remaining thirty-three pieces of information had already disappeared without a trace of the Man-Eating Demons.
The other thirty pieces of information were accurate, and I also managed to slay all of these Man-Eating Demons.
To avoid any potential slander, I found and eliminated eight more Man-Eating Demons on my way here to make up for the missing information. This crow can be a witness to that."
The members of the Demon Slayer Corps seemed to possess a crow-like creature called a 'Crow Chain'.
From the outside, it looked no different from an ordinary crow, but it had an exceptionally fast flying speed and could speak human language.
Within the Demon Slayer Corps, these crows were used for delivering information and communication purposes, similar to the Death Butterflies in the Shinigami world, but they possessed a certain level of intelligence.
"I have slain forty-two Man-Eating Demons, including a Lower Quarter Ghost of the Twelve Moon Ghosts, the Third Waning Moon, and the Sixth Waning Moon!"
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, the Crow Chain that was perched on his shoulder suddenly flapped its wings and took flight, proudly boasting about Yecheng's impressive achievements as it flew.
The information provided by the Demon Slayer Corps initially only included the Sixth Waning Moon. Genyuu Tsugikado thought that if Yecheng could defeat the Fourth Waning Moon, then dealing with the weaker Sixth Waning Moon should not be a problem.
However, he never expected that not only did Yecheng kill the Sixth Waning Moon, but he also encountered and eliminated the Third Waning Moon!
This meant that within a short span of a few days, half of the Waning Moon Zanpakutou among the Twelve Moon Ghosts had been slain by Yecheng!
What Genyuu Tsugikado did not know was that Yecheng's encounter with the Third Waning Moon was not entirely coincidental.
To avoid any potential slander, after eliminating the Man-Eating Demons from the information, Yecheng sought out additional targets by sensing their spiritual energy.
The Third Waning Moon, being significantly stronger than other Man-Eating Demons, caught his attention due to its powerful aura.
Aside from the Third Waning Moon, the other seven Man-Eating Demons that Yecheng used to make up the numbers were also formidable, each possessing the ability to use Blood Ghost Techniques, even though they were not part of the Twelve Moon Ghosts.
Yecheng had surprised everyone so much that when they heard about his extraordinary achievements, they were no longer shocked.
After successfully passing the two assessments, Yecheng officially became a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and he was a special member who could be deployed at the Corps' discretion.
After completing the assessment, Yecheng stayed at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters for several days until his Sun Wheel Blade was forged.
When Iron Tomb Ei, wearing a Flame Man Mask, delivered the newly forged Sun Wheel Blade to Yecheng, she closely observed the blade as he drew it out.
After being forged, the color of the Sun Wheel Blade's body would change according to its user, reflecting their personality or potential to some extent.
Yecheng's previous Sun Wheel Blade was one that had been used by a fallen member of the Demon Slayer Corps, completely different from the unopened one in his hand.
In a way, the color displayed on the blade could also indirectly reveal a person's character or potential.
Yecheng could be considered a rising star within the Demon Slayer Corps, so Iron Tomb Ei was curious to see what color the Sun Wheel Blade of someone favored by the Lord would be.
Reaching out, he grasped the hilt of the Yechen and slowly drew out the long blade, examining the gleaming body with satisfaction.
After over a century as a Shinigami, he was naturally adept at discerning the quality of swords.
The moment he tightened his grip on the hilt, Yechen felt a connection between his heart and the sword. As a skilled swordsman, he could clearly sense that this sword was tailor-made for him, and the swordsmith's craftsmanship was exceptional!
What surprised him even more was that as he clenched the Sun Wheel Sword, the blade in his hand, which was originally silver-white, visibly turned red before his eyes.
In just a few moments, the long sword in his hand had transformed into a blood-red blade!
Indeed, the Sun Wheel Sword in Yechen's hand displayed a color that was not the orange-red of flames but a blood-red like fresh blood!
The crimson blade, even at a glance, made one's heart race and seemed eerie yet captivating.
When she saw the color of Yechen's Sun Wheel Sword, Tie Ei was stunned.
As a swordsmith for many years, she had never seen this color before and couldn't determine if it was good or bad.
The blood-red color typically represents endless slaughter and bloodshed, but whether this referred to man-eating demons or humans was unclear.
Regardless, the Sun Wheel Sword's initial appearance in blood-red foretold Yechen's uniqueness, so Tie Ei advised him to cherish his sword before turning to leave.
After listening to Tie Ei's explanation, Yechen looked at the Sun Wheel Sword in his hand, its blade now blood-red, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"What the hell is this? A perfectly good Sun Wheel Sword turned eerie in my hands! If this were in a cultivation novel, I'd be a demonic giant! Anyway, I'm a righteous guy; even if it's not a golden legend, it should at least be white or silver for a more upright look."
Holding the Sun Wheel Sword, Yechen tried to change his thoughts, hoping the blade would change color.
After all, when he first gripped the sword, he was thinking of slaying demons, so this must be where the problem occurred.
Unfortunately, no matter how Yechen tried to convince himself otherwise, the blade remained as red as ever.
"Forget it. If anyone asks, I'll just say I've slain so many demons that their blood stained the sword, and it won't wash off."
"Yeah, that's it. I'll tell the newbies that from now on."
With the Sun Wheel Sword in hand and wearing the Demon Slayer Corps uniform, Yechen officially left the Gotei 13 and joined the Demon Slayer Corps.
Aside from the clothing and weapons, Yechen felt he lacked something essential compared to other Demon Slayers.
That something was the so-called "Breathing Technique"! Yechen was a sociable person, and standing out was usually not a good thing. Since he had joined their team, he figured he should research this "Breathing Technique."
After understanding the origin and principles of the "Breathing Technique," Yechen looked at the Sun Wheel Sword in his hand, and his mind was filled with new ideas.
