Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Urokodaki Sakonji's sharp eyes pierced through the red tengu mask, staring intently at Li Lei, not daring to relax for a moment.

"What do you want?"

With a heavy heart, Urokodaki Sakonji asked Li Lei.

"What do I want? I want to fight you."

"I heard that the strongest members of your Demon Slayer Corps are awarded the title of Pillar by your so-called Master after killing 50 demons or defeating the Twelve Demon Moons."

"And you, the current Water Pillar Urokodaki Sakonji, are considered one of the strongest among the current Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"I don't think it will disappoint me!"

Li Lei looked at Urokodaki Sakonji with calm, still eyes, and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing Li Lei's words, Urokodaki Sakonji knew that a fierce battle was about to take place.

Although it's unclear whether the boy in front of me is an Upper Moon demon, I haven't been able to sense any hostility from him since then.

Its true strength is probably quite formidable!

At this moment, Urokodaki Sakonji fully activated the Water Breathing Technique he had learned to adjust his state and prepare for the upcoming battle.

"Want to fight me here? Okay! I'll grant your wish."

Urokodaki Sakonji's body tensed up instantly like a spring, and he suddenly exerted force with his legs.

With a whoosh, his body sliced ​​through the air, and Urokodaki Sakonji's figure vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.

"Where is everyone?!"

Beside Li Lei, Ten'i Moka looked around nervously, searching for the missing current Mizuki Rintarou Sakonji.

"No need to look anymore, Sister Mengxiang, she's waiting on the street not far away."

As Li Lei walked toward Urokodaki Sakonji, he answered Ten'i Moka's question.

"Sir, please be careful!"

"I'm tired. Can't we avoid fighting the current Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps?!"

The people Li Lei rescued showed concern for him. Meanwhile, Ten'i Moka tried to dissuade Li Lei from fighting the Water Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Bi Yi is now torn between her beloved younger brother and her respected senior in the Demon Slayer Corps.

No matter who gets into trouble, I won't be happy.

"It's alright, Sister Mengxiang, I know what I'm doing."

Li Lei smiled at Ten'i Moka and then quickened his pace toward Urokodaki Sakonji.

On the other side of the deserted street at night, Urokodaki Sakonji, wearing a red tengu mask and holding a Nichirin Blade, stood upright like a weathered pine tree, waiting for Li Lei's arrival.

They had no intention of running away, or rather, they couldn't run away, because they were afraid that running away would provoke the anger of this young demon and cause him to attack the innocent townspeople.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Li Lei walked with calm steps, clapping his hands, and approached Urokodaki Sakonji in the center of the street.

"As expected of a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, he did not back down at all in the face of an invincible opponent. He is truly admirable!"

Li Lei's voice, like a silk thread, drifted on the wind through the empty street. It eventually reached Urokodaki Sakonji's ears.

"Even a man-eating demon would admire a human?"

Urokodaki Sakonji asked Li Lei in a cold voice.

"Yes! Not only can I do it, I really enjoy it!"

"However, I only like a small portion of them; I don't care about most of the others!"

"Of course, there are likes and dislikes!"

"I usually eliminate people who displease me in a humane way."

"I have good news for you: I don't dislike you as a water column at all!"

Upon encountering the first familiar figure—a member of the Demon Slayer Corps from the original Demon Slayer manga, Urokodaki Sakonji, the master of the protagonist Tanjiro—Li Lei found himself speaking a bit more than usual.

"Is that so! It seems I'm really lucky today! To actually encounter a demon that seems to be an Upper Moon here, and even gain its favor."

"This is really a headache!"

As he spoke, Urokodaki Sakonji drew his sea-blue Nichirin Blade from his waist, pointing it at Li Lei, his fighting spirit surging.

"Come on, you demon! Let me see if your power is worthy of your arrogance."

"Haha! Good, very good! That's exactly it, that's how you help me improve!"

Li Lei smiled, pulled a samurai sword made of his own flesh and blood from his palm, casually swung it a few times, and pointed the tip of the sword at Urokodaki Sakonji.

In an instant, he activated the Blood Demon Silk Technique, and countless red threads immediately wrapped around the blade, increasing its strength and making it resemble a battle blade made of blood-red threads.

"Water Breathing: Complete Collection"

In an instant, Li Lei adjusted his breathing and used the water breathing technique.

"This is……!"

Upon seeing this, Urokodaki Sakonji could not believe his eyes.

"Ghost Swordsman!"

A demon who has mastered breathing techniques is far stronger than an ordinary demon; such a demon is called a Demon Swordsman.

Urokodaki Sakonji, who was about to fight Li Lei, never imagined that the boy in front of him would be a demon swordsman.
