Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Li Lei calmly looked at the four men and one woman of the Demon Slayer Corps, who were on high alert. He clenched his fists, spread his legs, and lowered his body, assuming an attack stance with his bare hands.

With a "bang," the sound of a foot stomping on the ground was heard, and before the five Demon Slayers could see, Li Lei's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Seeing the demon vanish, the five members of the Demon Slayer Corps were immediately startled. Where did it go? Where did the demon go?

The five members of the Demon Slayer Corps looked around in bewilderment, determined to find the missing Li Lei, when suddenly! A voice came from above.

"Where are you looking? I am right above you!"

Upon hearing the sound, the five members of the Demon Slayer Corps immediately looked up. What appeared in their line of sight was Li Lei's calm figure standing on the rooftop, the hem of his robes fluttering in the wind. His eyes, as he looked at the five, were filled with disappointment.

Facing Li Lei, who no longer used his wooden sword, the five felt a chill run down their spines, their grip on their Nichirin Blades tightening involuntarily. Li Lei without his wooden sword was far stronger than Li Lei with it. They were no match for Tie Ding now; it seemed they were all doomed today.

Li Lei looked at the five members of the Demon Slayer Corps, feeling somewhat disappointed. They were far too weak for him to be of much use in training.

"Oh well! Something is better than nothing!"

"Watch out, everyone below, I'm about to launch my attack!"

After saying that, Li Lei jumped down and landed steadily with a thud.

Faced with Li Lei jumping down from the roof, the five people quickly moved aside without stopping.

Li Lei, who had jumped down, looked at the five people who were very wary of him, and without saying anything, immediately attacked them.

The five men looked at Li Lei, who was attacking them, and without thinking, they raised their Nichirin Blades and attacked him.

In the darkness, the glint of swords flashed in front of the martial arts hall, and the battle between Li Lei and the five swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps was becoming increasingly one-sided. The gap between the five and Li Lei was simply too great.

Li Lei could easily dodge the five Nichirin Blades' slashes, but the five members of the Demon Slayer Corps had a hard time dodging Li Lei's punches. If Li Lei hadn't held back, the five would have been dead long ago.

With a bang, Li Lei calmly blocked the Nichirin Blade's strike with his hand and separated himself from the five members of the Demon Slayer Corps. He did this to wait for the five to recover their strength before engaging in battle.

Although the five members of the Demon Slayer Corps were panting heavily from exhaustion, their eyes were fixed on Li Lei in front of them.

The strongest captain among the five members of the Demon Slayer Corps looked at his four teammates who were recovering their strength.

"You three, quickly take Naomi and get away! I'll hold this demon off."

"Captain!" the four exclaimed in unison.

"From the day we joined the Demon Slayer Corps, didn't the five of us say that we would stay together no matter what we did?"

The captain of the five looked at the four who were unwilling to leave and shouted loudly.

"Do you still consider me your captain? If you do, get out of here right now!"

"Captain, we..."

"Let's go!" the captain of the group shouted again.

Li Lei looked at the five people who, even in their near-death situation, were thinking of others. Five people who did not seek to live together but to die together, relying on each other for survival.

Li Lei calmly looked at the five members of the Demon Slayer Corps, a flicker of emotion flashing in his eyes, but he quickly returned to calm.

"Your relationship is truly enviable! However, this situation arises because you are both too weak."

"The weak have no right to choose, only the fate of being chosen!"

You can't escape! Li Lei raised his right hand towards the five members of the Demon Slayer Corps, unleashing the Silk Thread Blood Demon Art - Heavenly Net: Binding.

Instantly, countless threads flew rapidly from all directions towards the five people, binding them in an instant and rendering them unable to move. The Nichirin Blade also fell from their hands to the ground.

The bound captain looked up at his equally bound teammates, a wave of regret washing over him. He regretted bringing the other four to hunt the demons, and he regretted being too weak to protect his teammates who had shared life and death with him.

Li Lei calmly walked up to the five-man squad leader, looked at the captain who was filled with remorse, and asked.

"Do you want to live? Or rather, do you want to leave alive with your teammates?"

Upon hearing that it could save his teammates' lives, the bound captain looked up at Li Lei and asked, "What exactly is your purpose? What do you want me to do?"

Li Lei looked at the squad leader and said calmly, "What do we need to do? You'll find out soon enough."

Li Lei clapped his hands, and as the applause rang out, a crow flew over from a distance, carrying a pen and several blank sheets of paper.

Li Lei reached out and caught the pen and paper. After putting down the pen and paper, the crow flew to the head of one of the five people who were tied up and perched there, quietly looking at Li Lei.

Li Lei, holding paper and a pen, looked at the five-man squad leader who was tied up.

"If you don't want your teammates to go to heaven here, write down all the breathing techniques you've learned!"

The captain of the five, facing the only chance of survival before him, was deeply conflicted. Torn between the Demon Slayer Corps' Breathing Techniques and his teammates with whom he had shared life and death, the choice was incredibly difficult.

"The captain cannot teach this demon the Demon Slayer Corps' breathing techniques."

The teammates standing nearby shouted in unison.

Li Lei looked at the four teammates who were trying to persuade their captain, raised his hand, and instantly sealed the mouths of the four Demon Slayer Corps members with threads, rendering them unable to speak.

Li Lei watched as the captain, who was still hesitating, walked towards the only woman among the five. He reached out and touched her face, then turned to the captain of the five-person team and smiled, saying, "If you're still hesitating, I'm going to start eating. After all, I just had a fight with you guys, and I'm really hungry now!"

"Naomi, where do you think I should start?"

Li Lei looked at Naomi, who was unable to move.

"Oh—I forgot! You can't speak right now!"

The captain and the other three, Jian Tu, watched as Li Lei gestured to Naomi, indicating which food he wanted to eat. The captain shouted loudly.

"I promise you! Please let them go."

"Fine! As long as you write down the breathing techniques you've learned, I'll let you go. I guarantee this as the fifth of the Twelve Demon Moons."

At this point, Li Lei revealed the number 5 in his left eye.

"The Lower Fifth of the Twelve Demon Moons?" The five were shocked to hear Li Lei's words. Even after seeing the number "Lower Fifth" in Li Lei's left eye, they still couldn't believe what they were seeing.

They unexpectedly encountered one of the twelve strongest demons here. It was a Lower Rank demon among the Twelve Demon Moons, and even one of the lower ranks.

However, this does not diminish his strength. In his battle against the five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, he and his five companions were treated like kittens and puppies.

This shows just how powerful the evil spirit is! Li Lei walked up to the five-man squad leader, raised his hand and waved it, instantly untying the silk threads binding his hands, and a plane made of silk threads appeared in front of him.

Li Lei took out the paper and pen and handed them to the team leader.

"Come on! Write down the breathing technique you're using! Don't write anything random! Your teammates are still in my hands."

As he spoke, Li Lei approached the girl named Naomi and used his Parasitic Blood Demon Technique—Flesh Parasite.

A fleshy sphere the size of a ping-pong ball appeared on Li Lei's right hand. Li Lei looked at the fleshy sphere in his hand and said to the beautiful girl: Here, I'll give you a little gift.

Li Lei extended his right hand and placed the parasitic flesh ball in his hand on Naomi's chest. Soon, the ball burrowed into her body and went directly towards her heart.

Once the parasitic flesh-and-blood spheres enter the body, they fuse with the heart upon contact.

Naomi looked at Li Lei in horror, wondering what the blood-red ball he had put into her body was for.

Seeing all this, the captain shouted at Li Lei.

"What did you do to her? Didn't you say you'd release them if I wrote down the breathing techniques you'd learned?!"

Li Lei calmly looked at the captain of the five-person team and said: "Of course I will keep my word. As for the reason for doing so? Of course, it's so that you, captain, won't write the breathing technique wrong!"
