Poor little girl gets double hit

　　"Yo, you're here."

　　Finally, after Ryota hit the wall, he caught sight of the location where the evil and killing intent was strongest. With a swing of the sword, waves of air surged wildly.

　　The smoke and dust that was scattered was instantly exposed.

　　Ryota looked ahead, and the image of the little girl before was reflected in his vision.

　　Her expression was still so distorted, filled with cruelty towards humans.

　　Ryota shot the little girl like an arrow through the air, and immediately attacked.

　　He himself to get closer, dodged the opponent's sharp claws with a slight difference, turned his wrist, and a sword came from the side!

　　With a flash of light, the sword slashed through the girl's arm.

　　There is a feeling of cutting steel.

　　He didn't know how many people's souls had been devoured, but the little girl's spiritual body had become stronger than imagined.

　　But under the Ming Hong Sword's restraint towards the soul, everything is like paper.

　　"Ha--!"

　　Ryota shouted loudly, the muscles of his right arm swelled up, and the sword moved forward without hesitation.

　　Pooh!

　　One of the girl's arms was broken.

　　The sword light did not stop, and spread from the bottom up towards the ceiling.

　　It was as if the entire ceiling was about to collapse.

　　"Ahhhh!"

　　A piercing roar came from the girl's throat. It sounded hoarse, like the scraping of rusty metal plates, depressing, disgusting, and annoying.

　　It was not a human voice at all.

　　As if he didn't hear, Ryota dodged the girl's attack with small movements, then continued to swing his sword.

　　The blades danced wildly like dragons, stirring the air in the room for rhythmic roars. Full of explosiveness and artistic sense infused. It was enough to stun all the Swordsmen.

　　Shinobu who followed was stunned for a moment. In her confusion, Ryota slashed three times at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

　 The girl's spiritual body was cut into a human staff. For a moment, her roars became louder. The sound spread, breaking the rules of physics, and instantly filled the entire hotel.

　　In a corner where Ryota couldn't see, several shadows stuck to the walls and floor disappeared.

　　At the same time.

　　All the wounds on the little girl's spiritual body recovered.

　　Consuming other people's souls to recover from injuries – this was a basic characteristic possessed by ghosts at the [Evil Spirit] level.

　　(Hm? This is...!?)

　　While Ryota was surprised at how quickly the girl's injuries recovered, he suddenly noticed that the other party's soul power seemed to be slightly weaker.

　　Without knowing why, he jumped at the chance. Take advantage of weakness to kill her!

　　Utilizing a sword-throwing technique similar to the nine-headed Dragon Flash, he slashed four times with almost no time lag, aiming at the girl's limbs again.

　　The roar exploded.

　　On the wall not far away, four great sword marks appeared.

　　boom——

The wall did not hold up and collapsed.

　　Ryota didn't feel like he was hitting, and the little girl disappeared again.

　　Sure enough, she has the same spatial displacement characteristics as Sachiko!

　　"Can you escape!" Ryota roared.

　　Following his emotional perception, he immediately chased after her.

　　(Under!)

　　After assessing the situation, he swung his sword and slashed!

　　Amidst the series of explosions, he directly pierced through the floors from the sixth floor to the first.

　　"It's too messy!"

　　Shinobu who was following behind, the corners of her eyes twitched.

　　Even though it wasn't her home, she still felt heartache watching the beautiful decorations around her fall apart.

　　She hoped that the owner of this building could bear it after knowing the situation here.

　　There's another big move below.

　　Shinobu pushed aside irrelevant thoughts in a hurry, and jumped down from the broken hole in the floor.

　　Even though she isn't as good as Ryota in terms of physical fitness, she is still a Hashira (Pillar) level member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and she is much better than an ordinary person. With such a height, of course it was not difficult for her.

　　After Shinobu landed, she found herelf in a wide field with a dome more than 8 meters high.

　　It may occupy a height of two or three floors.

　　There is a large swimming pool right in the middle.

　　The battle between Ryota and the little girl's ghost triggers an airwave, which sends ripples across the surface of the swimming pool water.

　　Shinobu couldn't stand watching Ryota cut the ghost with one slash.

　　The latter's body seemed to be falling apart.

　　The growl sounded a bit like howling.

　　But just when she thought Ryota would win.

　　Suddenly a dangerous aura came.

The little girl's spiritual body, which was on the verge of collapsing, suddenly swelled up.

　　It turned into a monster over seven meters tall, and its head seemed about to touch the dome.

　　Ryota's countless attacks finally awakened the ghost's ruthlessness to its fullest, in order to no longer be obsessed with the rough game of tapping on the shoulder.

　　At that moment her ghost characteristic which could make people disappear into ashes and turn into a black shadow exploded.

　　It spreads like a curse.

　　Shinobu couldn't help feeling extremely dangerous, and quickly backed away.

　　Fortunately, the spread of the curse was limited, and stopped within a dozen meters.

　　Shinobu looked worried, because Ryota happened to be not far from the ghost.

　　"Shiro!" Shinobu exclaimed excitedly.

　　As she expected, Ryota who jumped up and was about to attack was also hit!

　　However, it was Ryota who had reached the second stage of the Military Commander System. Of course, he wouldn't be as helpless as an ordinary person.

　　Bone-freezing soul power poured out, constantly freezing the curses that fell on the body.

　　Fight soul force with soul force.

　　During this process, Ryota's body froze for a moment.

　　The enlarged ghost took advantage of this opportunity, and slapped Ryota's body with a large palm with an even stronger curse.

　　Ryota was immediately shot flying and crashed into a swimming pool not far from the air.

　　Explosion!

　　Ryota crashes into the deep end of the pool.

　　Penetrating nearly two meters of water, and shattering the tiles beneath.

　　"Shiro! Are you alright!?"

　　Shinobu quickly approached the swimming pool. But after she ran a few steps, the explosion exploded again before her eyes.

　　There was movement again in the pool where a big splash had just been splashed.

　　Explosion!

　　The pool exploded!

　　Ryota stood up, his whole body agitated with soul force.

　　The resulting vibrations instantly displace the water around the body, forming a hole two or three meters in diameter in the swimming pool.

　　The displaced water immediately begins to freeze.

　　A thick layer of ice spread across the pond, instantly paralyzing the hole he had created.

　　"Huuu..."

　　Ryota took a deep breath, then let out air from his lungs.

　　The psychic power flowing out through the "Bridge of Fear" acts on the soul, forming an endless icy soul power.

　　Soul power rushed and exploded in his body's meridians, and after combining with his will to attack at this moment, it condensed a billowing chill.

　　Powerful sword moves formed at the speed of light.

　　That was the sword technique that Ming Hong taught him, suitable for his current emotional abilities, and it could be considered as his current unique technique.

　　 With his unrivaled talent in swordsmanship, he practiced swordsmanship a few days that others might not be able to learn in ten years.

　　In a trance, Ming Hong's illusion seemed to appear behind him again.

　　The little girl showed a crazy smile, and her desire to kill turned into a whisper, whispering in Ryota's ear.

　　Kill, kill, kill...

　　"Kill--!"

　　With a scream, the air trembled. Like cold electricity running through the sky.

　　Ryota stamped his foot on the ground, and the tiles beneath his feet and the concrete underneath cracked like a spider's web, and collapsed.

　　In the blink of an eye, he jumped into the air. Soul power created a cold accumulation in the meridians, all of which flowed into the hands.

　　Three yin meridians flow into the hand. His meridians and will to strike the sword began to resonate.

　　A cold energy shot out, like a sharp blade piercing the sky, and the surrounding air instantly froze.

　　"Give me death!!!"

　　Ryota shouted loudly, and he slashed through the air with the sword in his hand.

　　Explosion!

　　Amidst the crackling sound, the chill turned into countless blades and swept out.

　　The curses along the way were continuously torn, frozen, and swept away in an instant.

　　Ryota's strong will controlled the blade's trajectory, and it deviated from a vital point of the little girl's spiritual body, shattering her limbs and parts of her body to pieces in an instant, turning them into ice shards.

　　It was a power that could even freeze the soul!

　　The remaining parts of the little girl's spiritual body also started to congeal. It probably won't be long before it dies.

　　Ryota took the last moment and shouted:

　　"Shinobu, hurry up!"

　　Shinobu endured the sound and was stunned.

　　But after all, she was a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and her reaction speed wasn't slow.

　　Shinobu bent her knees for a moment and exerted her strength, approaching the little girl's spiritual body that was being frozen as fast as she could.

　　That frozen power seemed to blur the distance between soul and matter.

　　Let the spiritual body become directly touchable by matter.

　　Shinobu understood Ryota's meaning, took out the Nichirin Sword, and stabbed forward.

　　Puchi——

The slender blade penetrated the fragile spiritual body.

　　Under this attack, the little girl's howls gradually stopped. Little by little, the body became transparent, until she disappeared.
