From Demon Slayer, the sword is invincible

Chapter 44 New Final Selection

Fujiyama, a mysterious and eerie mountain, is shrouded in mist all year round, like an isolated world. This is the final selection site for the Demon Slayer Corps, and it is also the place where countless brave men challenge themselves.

The foot of the mountain is covered with countless wisteria flowers, which are the most beautiful and charming barrier that traps the evil spirits in the mountain.

Feng Xiaodao and a group of Demon Slayer Corps members are waiting for the arrival of the children selected for this round at the gathering place at the foot of the mountain. Tomioka Giyuu had long since run away and no one knew where he was, perhaps he was already in the mountain.

"This guy runs fast, leaving everything to me!" Feng Xiaodao said to himself.

"Because Lord Water Pillar is not good at expressing himself, this is what my sister said!" The person who spoke was none other than Shinobu Kocho who had not been seen for a long time. Ever since this girl knew that Feng Xiaodao would host the new final selection, she insisted on coming along to see it.

"Senior Sister, you have also experienced the final selection, right? What was it like?" Hui Liya on the side asked curiously.

Shinobu Kocho changed her usual bold and innocent demeanor and instead lost herself in memories and said seriously:

"It is a test of sacrifice and self-breakthrough. Here, we will accept the most rigorous test and fight a desperate battle with evil spirits to protect humanity. Only those who survive can continue to fight against the demons."

"Teacher, I will also participate in the final selection in the future. I want to prove that I am also a strong person and fight against evil spirits for humanity!" Hui Liya said longingly.

"No! You are the young master. If something happens to you, it will have a huge impact on the entire Demon Slayer Corps!" Shinobu Kocho interrupted directly. Although this girl is usually careless, she is still very smart in some things.

Huiliya had no choice but to continue looking at his teacher.

Feng Xiaodao saw that the two guys who were almost ten years apart could still chat and even looked like they were watching a show. Seeing Hui Liya's expectant expression, he said confidently:

"Don't worry, Huiliya. The teacher agrees that you can participate in the final selection. There are some things a man cannot back down from!"

Hui Liya was about to show off to his senior sister (You said no, but I have the support of my teacher), when Feng Xiaodao continued:

"I'm just worried that there might still be ghosts around by then!"

Shinobu Kocho just laughed and said directly, "Brother Xiaodao, stop bragging. Even though you are very strong, you can't kill all the demons!"

On the contrary, Hui Liya said with great admiration: "Senior sister, the teacher is not bragging, I believe the teacher can do it!"

Feng Xiaodao did not answer anyone, but was a little speechless about the way these two people addressed each other. Shinobu Kocho clearly called herself Brother Xiaodao, but she insisted that little Huiliya call her Senior Sister. Huiliya was such a smart child, but he was willing to call her that!

Soon, many boys and girls who came to participate in the final selection gathered at the gathering point. Feng Xiaodao saw the girl Zhenkomo who Yiyong asked him to take care of at a glance. This girl was too conspicuous. She had a cute appearance and outstanding temperament. She was not much different from Shinobu Kocho.

As for why our Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu doesn't take care of it himself, maybe he is not ready to face it yet!

In fact, Zhen Gu had been paying attention to Feng Xiaodao and others since he arrived at the gathering point. This combination was too strange, but he did not dare to say much because he attached great importance to this assessment and did not want to make any mistakes.

Feng Xiaodao looked at the sky and felt that the time was about right, so he told his subordinates to get ready to start. He first went through the basics as usual and then said to everyone:

"I believe your trainers have already told you that there will be some changes in the selection method this time! Let me now tell you what is different about this selection from the past!"

The boys and girls below immediately pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

"Two things will be given to you during this selection. One is a poison that can kill ghosts, but it takes a certain amount of time to take effect. The other is a signal flare."

There was a burst of discussion below, and many people showed surprise in their eyes. Before they had time to be happy, they heard Feng Xiaodao continue to say:

“I know that everyone is prepared to die in this selection, and we all know that the mortality rate of the final selection is very high, so in order to keep more people alive, I gave you these two things.

However, once any of you uses this thing, you will automatically fail the assessment, and you will not be allowed to take the assessment again in the future!"

After these words were spoken, everyone became much more sober. Feng Xiaodao actually thought this was a good thing. A person with a strong will would not use such a thing even if given one, and the Demon Slayer Corps at the front line who had a weak will and used it would not need it either.

These people are basically excellent disciples of various trainers. Many of them may have embarked on this road of killing ghosts because of hatred, honor, and confusion about the future. Feng Xiaodao recognizes that a strong person needs to experience life and death to become strong, and also recognizes that many people can only see what they need when facing real life and death. So he is willing to give them another chance to choose their life.

If he had to choose one between the two, Feng Xiaodao would definitely choose the former. After all, life in this world was not that happy. Fortunately, he found a way to have the best of both worlds.

These two things took the Butterfly sisters a lot of effort to make. Fortunately, Ubuyashiki is rich and has great trust in themselves, otherwise it would not be so easy. If the test goes well, they may be used in the future. At that time, they will need to find ways to reduce the cost, because the front-line combat teams also need them.

After hearing these words, Zhengu decided in an instant that he would rather die than use it. He must go hunting ghosts, otherwise what is the meaning of his life!

"Okay, I've said what I need to say. Shinobu Kocho will distribute the items to everyone. You should keep them well. They will need to be inspected when you return alive. Don't think about using someone else's. Everyone has a number. If you have the ability to steal someone else's, it's best not to be discovered. Once discovered, you will be disqualified."

After Shinobu Kocho and the staff had finished distributing the items, Feng Xiaodao looked at the group of boys and girls in front of him and said, "Everyone, go ahead. I hope you can all come back alive."

A group of people immediately set off for the mountains. Feng Xiaodao arranged for some personnel to pay attention to some key talents and then set off with the two children.

As Zhen Gu stepped into Fujishi Mountain, a chill hit him. In the dense forest, branches and leaves intertwined, forming a gloomy green ocean. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadows, but it could not dispel the gloomy atmosphere here. The mountain road was rugged and full of thorns and strange rocks, as if testing everyone's courage and perseverance.

In the depths of the mountain, there are countless dangers. Evil spirits lurk in the darkness, waiting for their prey to arrive. Their howling echoes in the valley, making people shudder. However, this did not stop the group of people. With their belief in justice, they resolutely walked into this forbidden land.

"It's our turn to do something!"
