Chapter 28
Seeing the figure slowly approaching the door, Xander smiled and whispered:
— Speak of the devil, and he appears!
Boom! Boom!
Two drumbeats were heard, and the room spun ninety degrees to the left, then ninety degrees to the right.
— Tap with the left hand—turn left, with the right—turn right, with the left foot—backwards, right foot—forwards, and on the stomach—attack with claws.
The drums kept roaring, the room spinning, while Xander moved around, constantly dodging kyogai's attacks.
Kyogai watched as Xander darted about the room. No matter how he attacked, Xander always managed to evade him.
Seeing this, Kyogai was sweating in frustration.
— Damn it! This is so annoying! I need to replenish with some fine blood quickly!
After this, Kyogai quickened the pace of his drumming.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
But no matter how kyogai spun the room, he couldn't do anything to Xander.
At that moment, Xander suddenly asked:
— What's your name?
Kyogai replied in shock:
— kyogai!
— kyogai! I won't let you continue devouring people; I will destroy you! — Xander raised the white Sun Wheel in his hand and pointed it at Kyogai .
— I want... to obtain rare blood and return to the Twelve Demon Moons! Disappear! You bunch of vile insects! Speed up! Beat the drum!
In the blink of an eye, Kyogai 's hands were moving so fast they were a blur.
The entire room also spun at a frantic speed, and during the rotation, claw strikes constantly swept through.
However, under the blue light in Xander's eyes, everything seemed slowed down.
Xander clearly saw when kyogai was about to strike the drum and managed to evade the attack in advance.
— All attacks are dodged, the room spins accordingly! What am I supposed to do? Give up?
As soon as kyogai paused for a moment, Xander seized this chance.
— Shave!
— Icy Breath! Form II! Icy Star Blade!
Snowflakes fell one after another, and Xander was no longer in the room; he appeared behind Xiang Kai.
— kyogai, your bloody demonic art is indeed powerful, but my blade is faster.
Xander finished speaking, and a trickle of blood appeared on kyogai's neck, while Xander's blade remained spotless.
Shave is a technique from the Navy Fleet's Six Styles to increase speed, and the second form of Icy Breath, created by Xander, is also the fastest move. Xander combined these two techniques, and the speed was so great that it seemed as if he vanished in an instant.
That's why, even though Xander's blade decapitated kyogai, there was no trace of blood on the blade.
With a thud, kyogai's head fell to the ground.
Then kyogai asked Xander:
— Kid... answer me... is my... bloody demonic art... truly powerful?
Xander looked at kyogai's head and said:
— The ability to alter space and rotate its direction is indeed a powerful bloody demonic art. If you could control a larger area, I believe you would be one of the best among the Twelve Demon Moons.
— Yes...
Having received approval from Xander, kyogai felt relieved.
— Well, in the end, I will need a bit of your blood. After all, it's research material that my woman wants, and I can't refuse her.
Saying this, Xander took out a blood collection knife made by Yushiro and tossed it onto kyogai.
Blood filled the glass tube on the handle.
Xander admired the knife:
— The things Yushiro makes are quite useful, but I think he was very unhappy when he gave it to me.
It was as if he saw Yushiro's reluctance on his face, but he was forced to comply because of Tamayo.
— Meow!
A spotted cat with a box on its back appeared at Xander's feet.
The cat had been transformed by Yushiro into a demon and worked for Tamayo and Yushiro.
Xander placed the blood collection knife into the wooden box on the cat's back and said:
— Remember, tell Yushiro to take good care of Tamayo for me.
Then, accompanied by the sound of the cat's meow, the kitten disappeared from Xander's sight.
Looking at kyogai, who had not yet completely dissipated on the ground, Xander couldn't help thinking to himself:
— He is worthy of being a former Sixth Moon. He really managed to hold on until now.
— However, please, disperse.
As kyogai completely dissipated, a voice from the System resonated in Xander's mind.
— Ding! The host has killed kyogai, the former Sixth Moon, and has received 1 bronze chest and 2 black iron chests.
Hearing about the chests that dropped from kyogai, Xander was a bit surprised.
— Can a former Sixth Moon drop bronze chests? Then what kind of chests will the current Sixth Moon drop?
Seeing that the System wasn't responding, Xander gave up trying to get an answer.
— Fine, I'll find out when I kill the current Sixth Moon.
Xander stored away the chests, then circled the house twice and discovered that there were no other demons, and Tanjirou and Zenitsu were no longer in the house.
— It seems all the other demons were killed by Tanjirou, Zenitsu, and Inosuke the Boar. Oh! My chests!
— Should I break ties with Tanjirou? Xander considered it and rejected the idea.
— Let's wait until we kill the Fifth Moon, Natagumo.
Xander pondered as he walked, soon stepping outside.
The moment he stepped out, Xander saw Tanjirou grabbing Inosuke the Boar by the shoulders and headbutting him hard.
— Calm down a bit!
Seeing this scene, Xander understood what had happened but still pretended by approaching Zenitsu and asking about the situation.
On the other side, Tanjirou delivered a strong headbutt to Inosuke with a thud!
Zenitsu Agatama covered his head with a face full of fear and doubt:
— Ah! That sound! Didn't the skull crack? Inosuke staggered back several steps and finally steadied himself, but the boar-shaped helmet on his head fell off, revealing a face more beautiful than a girl's.
Seeing Inosuke's face, Zenitsu Agatama was startled.
— Huh?! A woman?! Hmm! That face?!
— What did you say? Do you have some problem with my face? — Inosuke said discontentedly.
Seeing this, Agatama Zenitsu couldn't help but complain:
— What a repulsive guy, his muscles are so developed, yet his face looks like a girl's.
Noticing how Agatama Zenitsu stared at his face, Inosuke got a bit angry:
— Why are you looking at my face?
— No, no! I'm not looking! Seeing this, Agatama Zenitsu ran away, flailing his arms and legs, and even hid behind the little girl Teruko.
— I have no problem with your face! It's very neat and bright, I think it's nice! — Tanjirou objectively praised Inosuke's appearance, but didn't want to touch upon a sensitive topic.
— I'll kill you! Come on!
Hearing Tanjirou's words, Xander laughed:
— Tanjirou, you're still so honest.
Seeing Xander come out, Tanjirou asked:
— Senior Xander, what are you doing?
Before he could finish speaking, Inosuke walked past Tanjirou and headed toward Xander.
— Hey! We're not done fighting yet! Let's continue...
As they walked, Inosuke suddenly collapsed, foaming at the mouth.
Seeing Inosuke fall, Zenitsu panicked:
— Wow! He fell! Is he dead? Tanjirou touched his nose and said with some embarrassment:
— He's not dead, he probably has a concussion. After all, I hit him with all my strength.
— Well?
