Chapter 45 The Roar of the Yang Dragon - The Burning Heaven Wheel

"Water Pillar? A practitioner of Water Breathing? No wonder his essence value is higher than that of Flame Pillar."

While Taichi was pondering, he turned his head and quietly looked at Doma, who had somehow appeared beside him.

But unlike the last time they met, his state of mind was as calm as a still lake, unusually tranquil.

"Hmm?" Douma took a step back, unfolded his fan to cover half of his face, and his seven-colored pupils swayed up and down as he carefully examined Tai: "How strange, you seem... to have changed."

"It's not the person who changes, but the heart."

Taiyi said calmly.

"The heart... does such a thing really exist?"

Doma's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth, hidden by the fan, slowly curled up.

"Speaking of Master Douma, won't you be angry after seeing me because you've been deceived?"

After Michiko finished her sacred dance on the altar, she ordered four burly men to carry the dazed Nijo Tadatsumi into a palanquin and began leading the crowd toward the sacred mountain that Aya had previously seen radiating golden light.

Taichi and Aya, along with Doma, mingled into the crowd and followed the group forward.

"No, no, no, why would I be angry?"

"I knew you were lying to me from the very beginning, hahaha."

Doma shook his head, glanced at Taichi out of the corner of his eye, then revealed two sharp teeth and laughed loudly.

Ah-Xia looked at the two chatting and laughing, completely bewildered.

Before Taiichi joined Lord Aoki, the Oniwaban had conducted an investigation. Apart from having a close childhood friend and a member of the Yamada clan, he didn't know anyone else.

Now he's leading his own team to wipe out a cult, and then he's chatting and laughing with the leader of another religion. This strange behavior leaves Ah Xia, who doesn't like to think, speechless.

"Then why did you come here in the first place?"

Taiyi walked down the road as usual, chest out and head held high, gripping the hilt of his sword. However, his eyes now held a hint of fervor and passion that were more intense than ever before.

"I was thinking, how could someone actually go to the trouble of lying to me just to deal with the Crying Ox Demon?"

"It would be really interesting to witness something like this firsthand, so I came."

Doma squinted his eyes and said with a chuckle.

"Wouldn't it be more interesting if it changed from Upper Moon 6 to Upper Moon 2?"

After Taiichi finished speaking, Doma paused for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows, his brows twitching towards the center, and said mockingly:

"Of course it's interesting, but do you dare?"

He then closed his golden fan, pointed it in the direction the sedan chair was moving, and laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, human, I promise you, as long as you dare to cut down Mieko Nurami, I will help you hold off the Crying Gyu-ki and let you escape."

Doma's eyes darted around, and although he made promises, Taiichi knew that he was clearly up to no good.

But looking at the entire Demon Slayer series, besides Tamayo, Yushiro, and Nezuko, the only demon who would do something to help humans is Doma.

Although he eventually killed Inosuke's mother, as a cannibal, it was remarkable that he could keep a human by his side for so long.

Just because Qin Ye is sunny, cheerful, and intelligent, he came up with the idea of letting her live to a ripe old age, which is unconventional for a ghost. This shows how willful he is.

"If, and I mean if, I kill the Weeping Demon, your master won't be so enraged that he'll come after me, will he?"

Tai said casually as he walked forward.

But Doma was stunned by his words and stood there for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

This child seems to know quite a lot.

But so what? Isn't it more fun this way?

He then took two steps to catch up, walking alongside Taiyi, covering his mouth with his fan, leaning his head towards Taiyi, and whispering:

"Let me tell you a secret. That person is also somewhat dissatisfied with him. After all, keeping humans as pets is a taboo for that person. If you're not careful, it will attract the attention of the humans."

"You ghosts, you actually care about this? Aren't you always eating people?"

Doma nodded, a speechless expression on his face, and shook his head at Taiichi, saying:

"Do you think we're all ghosts or idiots? I've lived for hundreds of years, and that lord has lived for thousands of years. He's traveled all over the country, seen countless things, and learned a great deal of knowledge."

"Do you think we do nothing but eat and sleep all day? Or do you think we cover our ears and eyes all day, not seeing or learning anything?"

"That sir has his reasons. Besides, because last time I was in Yoshiwara, I..."

Doma suddenly paused, glancing at Taichi's seemingly indifferent but actually eager-to-hear expression. His eyes darted around, and he pointed forward with his fan:

"That's enough chit-chat. If you don't make a move soon, that Demon Slayer Corps samurai is going to be dead."

Meanwhile, Ah Xia, who had been following behind them without saying a word, turned pale, pointed tremblingly ahead with her finger, and said in a trembling voice:

"Taiyi, what, what is this?!"

In the distance, the sacrificial procession had already reached its destination.

In the illusion, what everyone saw was a vermilion torii gate adorned with shimenawa (sacred rope) and gohei (imperial coins), and a path leading up the mountain.

But in reality, behind the torii gate, there was not a path, but a monster that was five stories tall, with the upper body of a human and the head of a bull, the lower body of a spider, and a giant mouth that stretched downwards from its chest, split open to the left and right, and filled with sharp teeth.

Meanwhile, the four sedan bearers and the water jet stared blankly as they prepared to send themselves into the monster's mouth.

Call ~

A powerful gust of air suddenly erupted from Taiyi's body, spreading rapidly in all directions.

The scorching heatwave immediately forced Doma back more than ten meters, and for the first time, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

click!

Taiyi flicked the knife out with his thumb and slowly gripped the hilt with his right hand.

With each step he took, the dust and fallen leaves beneath his feet automatically receded to the sides, while above his body, golden-red flames gradually condensed into a giant dragon.

"Doma, you just asked me if I dared?"

warehouse......

The Nichirin Blade was slowly drawn from its sheath, and Taichi smoothly drew the blade in an arc in front of him, after which a ring of light burning with flames appeared above his head.

Instead of asking that, I suggest you ask me: to kill her, is a second strike necessary?

boom!

"Ah! Where did this strong wind come from?!"

"Why is it so hot?!"

"it hurts!"

The shockwave from before has now transformed into a scorching hurricane, sending people within dozens of meters of Taiyi tumbling and crawling.

Although A-Xia did not retreat, she could only protect her head with her arms and squint through the gap in the middle to look at the scene.

Taiyi also displayed the other party's data.
