Chapter 682: Yecheng: She's Taken My Form?
Chapter 682: Yecheng: She's Taken My Form?
"Mitokado Nezuko is my sister, and I would never hand her over to someone like you!
True familial love is something that can never be taken from others, but rather, it is maintained by oneself. Even if you were to forcefully take it from others, it would never truly belong to you."
Tanjiro faced the white-haired youth, Rui, attempting to persuade him with words.
However, despite both being protagonists, he was no match for the cunning fox-faced ninja from the neighboring production team.
Rui had received many headbutts, but he remained stubborn. Nezuko, suspended in mid-air, could only roar in anger as she watched her brother being beaten, yet unable to do anything.
Just as Rui was about to finish off Tanjiro and make Nezuko lose hope of ever being his sister, the threads that had been wrapped around Tanjiro's body suddenly snapped with a loud 'thud'.
"Tanjiro, you're not doing it right. You need more practice. Just think about how many times I've saved you, including this one."
"If I had arrived a little later, you might have become a raw...human slice."
Hearing this familiar voice laced with mockery, Tanjiro was overjoyed.
When he saw Yecheng holding the Sun Wheel Blade, slowly emerging from behind Tanjiro with Spider Mom by his side, looking terrified, Rui instantly became furious.
Seeing Spider Mom's expression, he instantly realized that the 'mother' he had found had now taken on someone else's form!
He hadn't even found his sister, yet the 'mother' he had sought had been taken away, which was unbearable for the proud Rui.
His hatred for 'stealing family' surpassed all else; only he could take family members from others, and others dare not take his 'family' from him.
At this moment, his hatred for Yecheng far exceeded that for Tanjiro, so without hesitation, he charged towards Yecheng.
Seeing the raging Rui rushing towards him, Yecheng was bewildered. He had merely saved someone; why was this young friend so filled with hatred towards him?
"Spirit Breath - Second Type · Crescent Sky Thrust!"
Facing Rui's intense malice, Yecheng showed no mercy and unleashed a powerful Crescent Strike!
Rui had not anticipated that the new Demon Slayer swordsman's strength far surpassed that of Tanjiro and his friends.
As the massive crescent-shaped strike enveloped him, he knew his fate was sealed.
In his final moments, he turned his gaze towards Spider Mom, standing beside Yecheng, praying that she, as his 'mother,' would protect him as she would her own child.
Unfortunately, Spider Mom's eyes only held deep fear, devoid of any familial love.
When Tanjiro was in danger, his sister, Nezuko, would bravely protect him, and Tanjiro would do the same. They were the true family.
The spider family on Spider Mountain was merely a group forced together by their fear of Rui.
In this 'Family Game,' it was already impressive that they didn't backstab each other, let alone expect someone to risk their life to save another. Was this a joke?
As his body turned to ashes, Rui looked at Nezuko running towards Tanjiro and then at Spider Mom standing beside Yecheng, and envy filled his face.
Not only did he notice that Midoza and her brother had found their place, but even Spider Mom seemed to have found a sense of belonging.
All he wanted was to genuinely care for his family...
As his body turned to ashes, his soul returned to that of a young human child, and from a distance, he saw a man and a woman waving at him with smiles.
When he realized they were his parents, Rui was stunned for a moment, but he eventually ran towards them with tears streaming down his face. Holding hands, they walked towards the end of the light.
"You killed Lower Crescent No.1? That's a shame; it was a high-quality experimental subject."
Just as Yecheng had finished off Rui, Tsuzuki and Butterfly Nindo arrived together, explaining the situation on their side.
As expected, Spider Dad and Spider Brother were also played and killed by these two scheming women.
Seeing Spider Dad's powerful physique, Tsuzuki immediately increased the dosage of the drug, so those two unfortunate souls endured far more torment than Spider Sister.
They had heard that Lower Crescent No.1 was here, and Tsuzuki and her team were very interested in such high-level material.
But by the time they arrived, Yecheng had already taken care of him.
"I didn't plan to kill him so quickly either. After all, he was the experience bag for the four little ones over there.
But that kid seemed to have a deep hatred for me at first sight, and he kept saying that his mother had taken on my form.
How dare he! I, Yecheng, a virtuous man, have never touched his mother.
My honor was unjustly tarnished, so naturally, I wasn't happy, and I accidentally used a bit too much force."
The captured individuals were rescued, and along the way, they eliminated Lower Crescent No.1 and found a small bottle of Gyutaro Kurumado's blood from Rui. The group returned with satisfied expressions.
After obtaining Gyutaro Kurumado's blood, Tsuzuki and Butterfly Nindo began collaborating on new drug development.
Although Tanjiro and his friends were thoroughly defeated by Rui, their performance was exceptional since their opponent was Lower Crescent No.1. As a result, they received personal recognition and a rank promotion from the lord, Genyuu Tsugikado.
Regarding Spider Mom, who was brought back by Yecheng and his team, Genyuu Tsugikado hesitated before passing judgment.
Although Spider Mom had previously aided the enemy, she was coerced, had not killed anyone, and had now returned to being human. Furthermore, she redeemed herself by helping Yecheng and his team rescue the captives. Genyuu Tsugikado ultimately gave her a lenient sentence.
Considering that Spider Mom was a human transformed from a man-eating demon and possessed the Blood Demon Technique, Tsuzuki's drugs were still full of uncertainties. Therefore, constant surveillance was necessary.
The person assigned to surveillance couldn't be too weak, as Tsuzuki and Butterfly Nindo were busy with drug research.
After consulting Spider Mom's opinion, a white-haired, long-haired, and extremely beautiful maid was added to Yecheng's side.
Genyuu Tsugikado believed that since Spider Mom was brought back by Yecheng and his team, they had a responsibility to take care of her.
Moreover, Yecheng was always slacking off and hard to find when needed. With an additional maid, it would be more convenient to maintain communication in the future.
Don't even mention Yatagarasu; that guy has been hanging around Yecheng for too long, and now he's as unreliable as Yecheng. Finding him is even more challenging than finding a bird.
