Transcending Heavens: My Cheat Code is Myself

"Twelve, thirteen, fourteen... twenty-one..."

"Twenty-one,..."

As the boy strolled leisurely, he lightly swung his bamboo sword. The originally extremely flexible bamboo sword seemed indestructible, easily slicing open the necks of each evil spirit and severing their heads.

"Your so-called unity isn't all that great, is it?" Chen Feng gently tucked the bamboo sword back into his waistband and slowly walked up to the first evil spirit.

Before him lay countless demons with severed limbs and crimson blood, which had splattered across the open ground. What had been a trap had become their own burial ground.

"Devil! Devil! You are a devil!" the demon screamed, collapsing to the ground, its legs kicking helplessly. Looking at the red and black fox-face mask so close to its face, it cowered in fear. "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"

"Hahahaha!" The middle-aged swordsman let out a loud, particularly grating voice, full of mockery. "So this is a demon? It seems it's nothing special!"

He then stepped forward and beheaded the demon with a single stroke, ending its life. "Sorry, I didn't mean to steal the kill! I just couldn't control myself!"

The swordsman in the middle sheathed his longsword, took a deep breath, and said, “My name is Ikeda Toyoshige. As you can see, I am a swordsman with no particular talent. However, my hometown was destroyed by demons, and my wife and children were brutally murdered by evil spirits. I know I am not suited to be a demon-slaying swordsman, but even if I die on this path, it will be worth it!”

Chen Feng stared intently into the other person's eyes and noticed that tears had welled up in them, and the other person's voice had become somewhat choked. He reached out and patted the other person's shoulder: "Don't worry, sooner or later, I will kill every single ghost in this world!"

"Yes, I believe in you, you definitely will." The middle-aged swordsman wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled bitterly. "I never thought that someone as old as me would have such a bad mentality, and that I would need a young man like you to comfort me."

"It's alright, actually your swordsmanship isn't as good as mine."

“Yes, that’s right. You are the most powerful swordsman I have ever seen.” The middle-aged swordsman nodded with a smile, agreeing with Chen Feng’s words. But then he suddenly changed the subject and said with a serious expression, “Although I know that you young people are very talented and reliable, I’m sorry, I still want to complete this lonely journey alone! I don’t want to be a burden and live as a burden. In these seven days, I will fight non-stop and carve out my own bloody path.”

Seeing the other person's resolute expression, Chen Feng sighed deeply. Are all the people in the Demon Slayer world this crazy? That would mean certain death. He knew that if he wanted, he could freely protect all the demon slayers of Mount Fujikasane.

But he couldn't, because these were people who had their own principles. Even if it was a dead end, they had their own reasons for wielding their swords. Although the other person was a very weak middle-aged swordsman, he still made the same choice as Tanjiro.

"Alright then... I wish you good luck in your martial arts!" Chen Feng nodded, then ran off in one direction.

"May your martial arts prosper!" The middle-aged swordsman nodded and whispered. For some reason, the boy, despite using a bamboo sword, could kill evil spirits instantly. The middle-aged swordsman wondered if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to see a scarlet tongue within the bamboo sword...

The middle-aged swordsman shook his head. It seemed that his breathing technique was still not up to par, and he was actually hallucinating. It seemed that the air in Fujikashi Mountain was also quite thin. He then ran in another direction.

Rustling.

After a very long time, finally a ghost dared to explore this forbidden zone that seemed like a dead land.

Out of curiosity, he gently pushed the decapitated corpse in front of him. However, to his surprise, the corpse deflated instantly like a punctured balloon with just a light touch. Startled, he screamed and fled in panic.

Meanwhile, Tanjiro has been targeted by two demons, and they even fought over him.

"Damn it! I was here first, you're not allowed to steal my prey!" A demon with a long tongue sticking out, veins bulging on its head, shouted angrily. In its excitement, saliva splattered everywhere, covering the face of the second demon.

"Damn it, if you dare touch me with your filthy saliva again, I'll twist your head off!" The second demon had its head covered with various round bumps, its face was ferocious, and two long, bare teeth protruded from its body, making it look strange and grotesque.

Enraged, he grabbed the long tongue, spun it around, and flung it away. Then, he ran wildly towards Tanjiro, shouting, "Haha, the meat is mine!"

"Damn it, don't even think about it!" The long, whip-like tongue suddenly extended, hooking the feet of the demon covered in bumps on its head. With a gentle twist, it stumbled and fell to the ground. "First come, first served! The meat is definitely mine!"

"A perfect opportunity!" A determined glint flashed in Tanjiro's eyes. "Calm down, Tanjiro, you can do it! You can do it!"

"Ha!" Tanjiro raised his Nichirin Blade high, "Full Concentration - Water Breathing!"

In an instant, a flaw appeared in Tanjiro's eyes, and he slashed!

Pfft!

The demon with the bumpy head died with a face full of resentment. In his final moments, he glared fiercely at the guy with the long tongue. Damn it! It's all this lousy teammate's fault! He messed everything up!

However, the next moment, Tanjiro easily beheaded the long-tongued demon.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. He was about to die. For no apparent reason, he suddenly thought of his hometown, a hometown he hadn't returned to for decades. Why had he forgotten it? Why did he remember it now, on his deathbed…?

Watching the two demons turn to dust, Tanjiro silently prayed for them, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's all thanks to the sword given to me by Master Urokodaki. All it takes is to cut off the demon's head to kill it completely. This is the Nichirin Blade."

Suddenly, a pungent stench, like that of a rotting, moldy corpse, assaulted Tanjiro's senses, making him cough. He quickly pinched his nose to relieve the stench slightly. "Cough cough, what's this rotten smell coming from?"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The sound of the earth trembling slowly rose.

Tanjiro quickly hid behind a tree to observe the situation, as if only in this way could he gain a tiny bit of safety.

"Ah!" A scream rang out as a man wielding a Nichirin Blade fled for his life, constantly looking back with terror in his eyes: "This shouldn't be happening! How can there be such a large alien here? This shouldn't be!"

Tanjiro looked at the mountain of flesh that the other man was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled, and he felt that he could hardly hold the sword in his hand.

All I could do was silently hope that the other person would run faster! Run even faster!

However, things didn't go as planned. The boy who was running away looked back and tripped over a tree root by the roadside, falling to the ground with a thud.

The mountain of flesh formed by arms could extend its arms, and in an instant, two or three arms reached out to grab the opponent, then tried to open its bloody maw to swallow the opponent whole.

No! No! No! No! Tanjiro! Act now! Act now! It'll be too late if you don't act now!

"Water Breathing! Second Form! Waterwheel!"

A smooth, round blade, like a circular surface, bloomed between the two, instantly severing five or six of the opponent's arms!

tread!

Tanjiro, wielding his Nichirin Blade, stood in front of the boy.
