Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

In the Infinite City, on a field full of red spider lilies, a man and a woman stood facing each other.

It was Li Lei, the fifth of the Lower Moons, and Guhuoniao, the first of the Lower Moons, who were about to engage in a bloody battle of positional exchange.

Li Lei smiled as he gazed at the beautiful Lower Moon One (一) Guhuoniao before him, scrutinizing her carefully with his eyes.

The purple kimono paired with that always kind smile immediately caught Li Lei's eye.

A kind expression graced her beautiful face, and a purple kimono adorned her graceful figure. Looking at this beautiful scene, Li Lei suddenly felt that the Lower Moon One (一) Ubume was quite to his liking.

The Ubume looked at Rui, the fifth rank of the Lower Moon, who was smiling at her, and felt a little puzzled.

"He's challenging Lower Moon Five to Lower Moon One, yet he doesn't seem nervous at all? Is it because he's confident in his own strength, or is that just his personality? I don't understand!"

"but--"

The Guhuoniao's smile suddenly became even more benevolent, and it opened its mouth to say:

"However! To be able to smile at a time when you're about to engage in a bloody battle with me, what an adorable child!"

"If I win, I will definitely take you back to be my child, and I will take good care of you as if you were my own daughter."

Upon hearing this, Li Lei frowned slightly, recalling how Guhuoniao, when she was human, abused and killed her daughter because of her husband's betrayal.

Looking at the Guhuoniao that wanted to be her mother and was abusing her.

Li Lei's pupils began to turn blood red, and his body suddenly exerted force, rushing towards the Lower Moon One Guhuoniao at a rapid speed.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Guhuoniao. Li Lei didn't say much when he arrived in front of the Guhuoniao, but instantly delivered a right-hand chop to her.

Seeing that Rui, the Lower Moon Five, was rushing towards her and about to slash at her with his hand, Guhuoniao immediately stretched out her right arm to block.

With a snap.

Guhuoniao's right hand was instantly severed by Li Lei's hand chop.

"what!"

The Guhuoniao was very surprised, as he looked like a very delicate and cute boy from any angle.

However, in their first encounter, he was at a disadvantage, and it was in his area of ​​expertise—physical combat.

The Guhuoniao, who was fighting Li Lei, did not retaliate, but quickly moved away from Li Lei.

Li Lei, who gained the upper hand in the first attack, did not pursue Chen Sheng but instead picked up the severed arm of the Guhuoniao.

Li Lei stared at the severed arm in his hand, his mouth unconsciously starting to salivate. For some reason, he really wanted to eat the Guhuoniao in front of him today.

"Click, click"

Li Lei began to eat the severed arm in his hand in front of the Guhuoniao. Today, Li Lei suddenly wanted to indulge his instincts as a ghost.

Bright red flesh and blood entered my mouth. Red blood dripped from the corner of my mouth.

Li Lei quickly ate the severed arm of the Guhuoniao.

After having some pre-dinner dessert, Li Lei suddenly felt quite good.

Li Lei raised his head, staring at the Guhuoniao, whose arms had already grown back, with his blood-red eyes, and said:

"Your flesh and blood tasted quite good, I enjoyed it very much!"

The Guhuoniao, who was listening to the sermon, blushed slightly as she recalled how Li Lei had just eaten her severed arm right in front of her.

He spoke to Li Lei in a soft voice:

"What a good child who doesn't pick at his food! With such a loving child, I want to be your mother even more now!"

"Oh! That depends on whether you have the ability or not?"

Li Lei licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied.

Guhuoniao looked at Li Lei, whose fighting spirit was soaring. She raised an incense burner that was emitting smoke.

"What a confident and adorable child!"

"However—being too confident can lead to big problems!"

Seeing the incense burner that suddenly appeared in the hand of the Guhuoniao, Li Lei frowned and instantly attacked it again.

"Blood Demon Art - Incense, a blood demon art that causes hallucinations. It uses the fragrance in an incense burner as a medium. People will be affected if they inhale the fragrance or have their skin come into contact with it."

As Li Lei attacked the Guhuoniao, a description of its abilities flooded his mind.

The Guhuoniao smiled slightly as it watched Li Lei attack it, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Looking at the unresisting Lower Moon One (1) Ubume, a sense of doubt welled up in Li Lei's heart. But the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to think about it.

Soon, Li Lei approached the Lower Moon One Ubume again. Looking at the Ubume in front of him, Li Lei waved his hand and instantly activated the Thread Blood Demon Art.

In the blink of an eye, several blood-red threads sliced ​​straight towards the Guhuoniao.

Seeing that the Guhuoniao was still motionless, Li Lei frowned, until the blood-red thread passed through the Guhuoniao's body without any hindrance.

Li Lei immediately realized that he had fallen under the Guhuoniao's Incense Blood Demon Technique, and that the Guhuoniao in front of him was just an illusion.

Li Lei was puzzled as to why he had fallen victim to the Guhuoniao's Incense Blood Demon Technique.

I just saw Guhuoniao take out the incense burner, but I didn't smell any fragrance at all before she took it out.

How did I get afflicted by the Blood Demon Spell?

Li Lei pondered for a moment, and then a sudden inspiration struck him.

"Wait! The Guhuoniao Incense Blood Demon Art I know is a Blood Demon Art that is activated using fragrance as a medium, but it never said that it must be activated using fragrance as a medium!"

Suddenly realizing something, Li Lei took a deep breath through his nose. After inhaling, Li Lei instantly understood that the fragrance emanating from the incense burner created by the Guhuoniao using Blood Demon Magic was the smell of blood.

Recalling the sudden smell of blood after he cut off the Guhuoniao's arm, Li Lei suddenly understood.

"So that's when the trick started! The blood from the severed arm was used to mask the blood from the incense burner in the air, so that people would fall under the illusion without even realizing it."

Li Lei looked up and around at the red spider lily field, just like the one he had just seen. Li Lei knew it was all an illusion.

"The Lower Moon demon, the one closest to the Upper Moon, is really strong!"

Li Lei sighed to himself.

"but--"

Li Lei's expression suddenly turned bloodthirsty as he laughed:

"It won't work on me because I was prepared!"
