Chapter 17: Let the Fire Purify Everything

"Tsk, she ran away?"

Realizing that the Kamado siblings had taken away his prey, the blue-striped Demons's face became even gloomier.

But he did not withdraw from the fight.

The frequency of attacks has become more and more frequent.

He hasn't fought with his own kind for a long time, and now he is really angry.

"Then use your body to replace the bodies of those two demon slayers!"

Having made up his mind to kill and devour the woman in front of him, the blue-striped Demons's attack became more ferocious.

Injuries for injuries, blood for blood.

Pieces of flesh and broken limbs flew everywhere, but the blue-striped demon gained the upper hand with its overwhelming speed, forcing Kotori Itsuka to retreat step by step.

"Bang--!"

Seizing the opportunity, the Blue-Striped Demon punched Kotori Itsuka in the face without holding back.

The evil Demons's mask shattered, revealing the girl's true face.

And Kotori Itsuka was also knocked away by this blow and hit the big tree behind her heavily.

Just as she staggered and tried to stand up, the blue-striped Demons accelerated in front of her, grabbed her neck and lifted her up.

"Humph, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you break in."

The blue-striped demon sneered, holding the girl up with one hand and inserting Tanjiro Kamado Nichirin Sword into her body with the other hand.

The sword blade pierced into the flesh and Kotori Itsuka was nailed to the tree.

Like a fish at the mercy of others.

As if wanting to vent its anger for its prey's escape and the resentment accumulated during the battle on her, the blue-striped demon opened its bloody mouth and bit off Kotori Itsukahand.

He was ready to eat this blind guy bit by bit.

The blood and flesh flowed into his stomach, greatly satisfying his bloodthirsty desire.

At this moment, Kotori Itsuka, who seemed to have been knocked unconscious just now, suddenly opened her eyes.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" she asked with a smile, "How does it taste?"

Seeing that the other party not only did not faint, but also asked him kindly how he tasted, the blue-striped Demons who was chewing the flesh and bones was stunned.

He didn't understand why this girl could be so calm.

The body was nailed to the tree, and the only outcome was that he would eat it bit by bit, suck its blood, and it would die after losing its self-healing ability.

But she didn't look worried at all.

This made the blue-striped Demons feel a little confused.

"Haha, of course it tastes good."

The blue-striped Demons retorted coldly, but he did not stop chewing: "Sure enough, cannibalism is the fastest way to increase strength. After eating your flesh and blood, I can already feel the strength flowing into my limbs and bones."

"Really?" Kotori Itsuka smile grew even brighter. "That's good."

The blue-striped Demons wanted to say something else.

But his expression suddenly changed and he stopped chewing.

The flesh and blood he swallowed into his stomach seemed to contain some kind of energy, which made him feel the increase in strength.

But for some reason, he couldn't control this power.

A strange force was roaming and rampaging through his body, causing his muscles to tense and his veins to bulge.

"Ahhh! Ahhhhhh!"

Suppressed roars of pain rang out from his throat. The blue-striped Demons knelt on the ground in agony and dug open his stomach, trying to dig out everything he had just eaten.

But Kotori Itsuka will not give him this opportunity.

"clatter."

With a snap of fingers, the spiritual power in the blue-striped Demons's body instantly burned.

However, this time it was not the purple self-healing flame.

But it is the red flame of destruction.

"Aaaaaaaaa——!"

In an instant, the blue-striped Demons was completely enveloped in flames.

His internal organs, bones, marrow, muscles and blood, every inch of his body was burning.

The extreme pain made him tear his body apart frantically, trying to tear off the burning part.

However, this is of no use.

As soon as the burning skin was torn off, new skin grew out and was instantly covered by the surrounding flames.

It's like a punishment from hell.

The sinful souls are purified under the eternal flames, cleansing their debts and sins.

At this moment, immortality has become the most terrifying curse.

"Poor hospitality."

Kotori Itsuka pulled out the Nichirin sword that was stuck in her belly and looked at the demon bathed in flames in front of her with a smile.

In terms of speed alone, she is indeed not as good as this Demons.

It was also because of this that she had no intention of using pure force to decide the outcome from the beginning.

It is easy to defeat him, but very difficult to kill him.

Once he realizes that his strength is far superior to his, this guy will definitely escape with his overwhelming speed.

Kotori Itsuka speed is not the fastest among the ten Spirit, and her endurance is at the bottom among the combat-type Spirit.

Therefore, if you want to be 100% sure of getting rid of this Demons, you can only use a trick.

"Kill me! Kill me!"

The blue-striped Demons has lost its human form in the flames.

The charred skin and flesh were constantly regenerating, making him look like a melted snowman, weird and terrifying.

The Demons that was so arrogant just now was now tearing its body apart in pain, begging for release.

Looking at the scene in front of her, a brighter scarlet lit up in Kotori Itsukabeautiful red eyes.

The screams and pleas made the smile on her lips even brighter. She picked up the burnt Demons-killer on the ground and inserted it into his body.

As a result, the flames on the blue-striped Demons became even stronger.

The already miserable wails became even more tragic.

However, soon, the sadistic desire in Kotori Itsuka was forcibly suppressed.

"I've used too much spiritual energy."

Realizing that she was beginning to be affected by the manic spiritual power, Kotori Itsuka took a few deep breaths and suppressed her emotions that were constantly fermenting.

Then, he raised his hand and swung the Sun Blade.

The Sun Blade cut cleanly across the blue-striped demon's neck, cutting it in half.

This is the Demons's fatal weakness.

Once the neck is cut by the Sun Blade containing the power of the sun, the brain and heart will be corroded at the same time.

At that time, the Muzan cells in the demon's body will stop regenerating.

As expected, after his neck was cut by the Nichirin Sword, his body stopped regenerating.

In the flames, the blue-striped Demons's body turned into ashes and disappeared on the spot.

Kotori Itsuka stood there, breathing slowly.

Under the effect of the breathing method, the scarlet in her eyes gradually faded away.

"As expected, learning the breathing method was the right choice," she muttered to herself, "If I didn't have the breathing method to help me, I would have gone berserk in the middle of the battle and would have ignored my plan."

"Woo woo——!"

Just then, the sound of a whistle came from behind.

Kotori Itsuka looked back and saw a pitch-black steam locomotive coming towards her on the railway a few kilometers away.

"It should be the one."

Kotori Itsuka stretched her body, holding the Nichirin Sword in one hand and the Scorching Demon Slayer in the other, and walked towards the train.

The purpose of her appearing here tonight was not to deal with the blue-striped Demons.

The blue-striped Demons was just a small incident that happened by chance.

"Before the original story gets to this point, let me get rid of the Infinity Train first."
