The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Chapter 17 Demon Slayer Corps Trial

[Congratulations to the host for killing the Lower Moon Five - Lei, and gaining 200 merits!]

A pleasant system prompt sounded, and Li Xuan put the Sun Blade back into the sheath with an extremely handsome movement.

Tanjiro, lying on the ground, stared at the tall figure with wide eyes in disbelief.

Li Xuan extended his index finger and whispered, "Help me keep this secret! Oh, and protect your sister. Don't let her get hurt. Of course, if you want me to protect you, I don't mind."

Noticing that Tanjiro was seriously injured and didn't even have the strength to speak, Li Xuan began to use the power of light to heal his wounds, at least to prevent him from fainting.

Tanjiro looked speechlessly at the man in front of him who was still wearing sunglasses at night, and shouted unconsciously: "There is no way I will hand Nezuko over to a weirdo like you! I will definitely, definitely protect Nezuko!"

"My injuries..."

"It's you?"

"……Thanks……"

Li Xuan: "What a polite and good boy... But I still have to remind you that your injuries are very serious. It's best for you to lie down on the ground and rest well."

Just as the two were chatting, Li Xuan noticed Giyu who was coming quickly. After thinking about it, he decided to stay. After all, Tanjiro would not leave Nezuko to him for protection, so he had to stay and support them.

After seeing the scene, Yiyong stared at Li Xuan again, and finally blurted out two words: "Is it you?"

Li Xuan put his hand on his shoulder in a familiar manner: "Oops, I'm sorry for stealing your head. After all, this ghost looks like he really needs to be freed!"

"It's okay... who are you?"

Just when the scene was silent, a graceful figure floated out from the darkness, and the sharp sword stabbed straight towards Nezuko.

Although Giyuu cannot speak, he has rich combat experience and easily blocked Shinobu Kocho's sneak attack.

"Oh, what are you doing? Are you sheltering a ghost?" Shinobu Kocho elegantly put away the Nichirin Sword and looked at them in confusion.

Tanjiro hurriedly explained: "It's not...her, my sister...not..."

Li Xuan held Tanjiro's shoulder and gave him a reassuring look.

Although Li Xuan was wearing sunglasses and Tanjiro couldn't see his eyes, he calmed down when he saw Li Xuan's smile.

Li Xuan came out to explain, "As the only one who can speak among the three of us, I think we should have a good talk instead of resorting to violence. Am I right?"

Shinobu Kocho noticed that Giyu actually nodded in agreement, so she nodded slightly as well: "Okay, how do you want to explain it?"

Li Xuan cleared his throat and said, "I know that the Demon Slayer Corps has always upheld the attitude of killing demons, but in this case, you'd better take a long-term view."

Shinobu Kocho chuckled and replied, "Your behavior is against the team rules!"

Li Xuan scratched his head and said indifferently, "But I'm not a member of your Demon Slayer Corps. The team rules have no binding force on me. Could it be that... you can still kill me as well?"

"Of course that's impossible!"

"Why don't you take us to see your lord and see what he says?"

It was obviously impossible to agree to Li Xuan's unreasonable request.

Just when Shinobu Kocho was confronting three people and one ghost.

A passing crow breaks the current situation.

"Pass the order! Pass the order!"

"Order from headquarters, capture Tanjiro and Nezuko, and invite fellow ghost hunters to come to headquarters! Repeat..."

Li Xuan looked at Shinobu Kocho with a smile on his face: "It seems that this time it's your turn to invite me over."

……

The next day, everyone gathered in a courtyard.

Tanjiro's hands were tied and thrown in the middle of the courtyard.

At the same time, the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps also arrived at the scene to participate in the trial of Tanjiro and his sister.

It’s just that Giyuu himself is not good at socializing, and is seen as a very arrogant person by the other pillars.

Plus, he really hindered the demon-killing mission this time, so he put a lot of distance between himself and the other pillars and didn't look like they were in the same group.

But after daytime, Li Xuan took off his sunglasses directly, showing his unconventional attitude.

He just stood by and watched Tanjiro argue with the Pillars for his sister's life.

Unfortunately, an arrogant voice came from the other side.

He is a man with scars all over his body. He holds the box containing Nezuko in one hand and arrogantly says that he will kill the demon inside!

And this was not just talk, he directly stabbed the knife into the box. As the knife was pulled out, red blood flowed out.

Seeing his sister injured, Tanjiro rushed towards Uzui like crazy and knocked him to the ground with one head. He deserved the title of the Head Pillar.

Then, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps appeared and asked all the pillars to half-kneel on the ground to welcome him.

In the following period of time, Li Xuan could not interfere even in the internal affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps.

And strictly speaking, Li Xuan shouldn't have been there to sit in on the conversation, he just didn't point it out.

As the plot progresses, Nezuko comes to the stage where she proves that she will not eat people.

Li Xuan felt very uncomfortable after seeing this scene before.

Although the attitude of killing all demons is the core of the Demon Slayer Corps, Li Xuan strongly disagrees with this irresponsible behavior.

"I say, are you just going to let this matter go? Is this the privilege of the strong?"

Li Xuan looked at the people in front of him with a sneer, his disdain clearly revealed.

"It would have been fine if you hadn't said anything before, but you actually dared to interrupt when the lord was speaking. As an outsider, what right do you have to..."

Before Xiao Banei could finish his words, he saw a pitch-black gun muzzle pointing at them.

The other pillars placed their hands on the hilts of the Nichirin Swords, ready to subdue this rude man at any time.

"It seems you are very confident in your own strength. I just don't know if you have ever heard the saying, 'A gun is fast at a distance of ten paces, but it is both accurate and fast within ten paces!'"

As he spoke, Li Xuan turned the gun towards the Demon Slayer Corps' lord, Ubuyashiki.

"Asshole! What are you doing?"

"Put down your gun now, or we won't let you go!"

Li Xuan looked at the excited crowd and threatened directly: "Although your strength is not very good, I still want to remind you that guns can easily go off accidentally. If you scare me, your lord will be in danger!"

Maybe it was because he couldn’t see, but the Demon Slayer Corps’ lord wasn’t panicking at all.

He comforted everyone in a warm tone: "Don't be nervous, this gentleman is our companion. He can kill one of the Twelve Demon Moons alone, and he is the backbone of the fight against Muzan!"

Faced with the lord's flattery, Li Xuan did not let down his guard. The assassin in his hand was always facing him without moving at all.
