Chapter 137: The Battle Between the Pillars and the Demons
Lu You was very satisfied with the three's attitude: "It's good that you know you're weak. The focus now is on your training. You haven't even entered the beginner level yet. It's only because the young master is truly dedicated to you! How could martial arts training be easy? He's deliberately providing you with conveniences, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy!"
"There's one more thing I think I need to tell you! Don't rely on us too much! Like today when you stayed at this family's house, did you eat the food they gave you after watching us eat it?"
The three were taken aback by what they heard. Could it be that...?
Lu Youyou nodded leisurely: "That's right. It's possible that the young master's generosity made this family have bad intentions, and they put something in the food!"
"Don't worry, young master helped you detoxify long ago, otherwise you would have died at the hands of these ghosts without any resistance! This wasn't meant to teach you a lesson. It happened suddenly, and there's more than one family with problems here. Young master didn't want to alert them too early, so he didn't warn you beforehand. It won't happen again!"
Yes, Li Muyang had noticed the greedy look in this family's eyes long ago. Combined with their connection to the Eternal Bliss Cult—or rather, the ghosts—they were in cahoots to murder for money!
This gave them an opportunity to act, and also gave myself a reason to act.
Before the family could even lure the ghost in, Li Muyang had already taken the initiative and dealt with them.
Poor mountains and rivers bring out unruly people!
I've seen it all today!
The three men were inwardly screaming "WTF!" Having come from modern society, they never imagined that murder for a pittance would so easily unfold before their eyes! If it weren't for Li Muyang protecting them, they would have been completely wiped out!
At this very moment, there are still quite a few ghosts lurking in this village! Almost all the villagers have colluded with the Eternal Bliss Cult, harming travelers and passersby! Many have suffered as a result!
Li Muyang had no intention of rescuing everyone, and besides, there were professionals to handle it.
That's right, they're from the Demon Slayer Corps!
The two sides have already started fighting!
Glancing at the situation of the two sides fighting, it seems that the Demon Slayer Corps had already noticed this place and sent a lot of people with great strength. The demons are already unable to hold on!
Because no truly powerful demons appeared, and they were all the weakest ordinary demons, they naturally suffered repeated defeats against a well-prepared Demon Slayer Corps.
It seems that Li Muyang's help is no longer needed, but unfortunately, in this situation, an accident is bound to happen!
Sure enough, a few slightly stronger supernatural demons who were hiding in the shadows emerged and immediately ambushed several members of the Demon Slayer Corps, instantly reversing the situation!
But soon after, an even stronger member appeared on the Demon Slayer Corps' side! They took on the heavy responsibility of killing the supernatural demons! In an instant, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, and the scene became increasingly chaotic!
Li Muyang watched the show with great interest, occasionally taking care of a few members of the Demon Slayer Corps in secret, but they were unaware of it and thought it was just a coincidence or their imagination.
A short while later, Bai Yuxiu and the others also arrived.
The group hid in the shadows and watched the show quietly.
Just when it seemed that both sides had suffered heavy casualties, a new anomaly occurred!
The promised clash between the low-ranked Demon Slayer team and the demons turned out to be a high-ranked player who was smurfing!
Several ice vines entwined with ice lotus flowers suddenly shot out from all directions, heading straight for several of the Demon Slayer Corps' main damage dealers!
Of course, the Demon Slayer Corps was not without its hidden masters. At the same time, a figure stood in front of the ice vines, blocking their attack!
Upper Moon Two: Doma!
"Oh! I really didn't expect this unexpected bonus! Miss, you're the Flower Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, right? You're so cute~"
Hmm, the fish-frying turned out to be a big fish!
Kanae Kocho, the current Flower Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, and Doma, the Upper Moon Two of the Twelve Demon Moons.
Doma is the leader of the Eternal Bliss Cult! This is why the group in front of us had such a meaningful look when they heard the name of the cult!
As the two experts entered the fray, while the two were engaged in a verbal battle, the lower-ranked players wisely began to shift their focus. They knew that once these two started fighting, they wouldn't be able to help the cannon fodder and extras. If they were to be accidentally killed by the aftershocks, they would have no recourse.
The only ones who hadn't left were Li Muyang and his group, who were hiding in the room.
No worries! They won't find us anyway! Li Muyang was very confident in his hiding methods! Even if the two of them sensed someone spying on them, they wouldn't be able to find their tracks! Unless they could cut through subspace!
After the bystanders left, Kanae Kocho and Doma, not wanting to exchange any more words, immediately began to fight.
Based on my own observations... as the current Flower Pillar, Kanae Kocho's strength is quite good. I haven't seen the other Pillars, so I can't comment on whether she's at the average level, but at least she's far superior to the other Demon Slayer Corps members.
Unfortunately, her enemy is Upper Moon Two, Doma, who is even stronger!
Secondly, according to Li Muyang's observation, one of Kanae's biggest flaws is that she is too soft-hearted!
She is indeed a kind girl. She didn't cherish the opportunities and underhanded tactics she had. If she had seized the opportunity, even if the damage she caused wasn't high, the humiliation she caused would have been extremely strong!
In other words, Doma hasn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet and is still taking it lightly, not seriously.
Even so, Kanae's chances of winning are extremely slim! Her injuries are getting worse! The three newbies are watching with growing anxiety! She'll die if this continues!
In the original manga, the death of Kanae Hanahana was only briefly mentioned. Now, watching her injuries worsen right before their eyes is quite a shock for the rookie trio whose mindset hasn't fully recovered!
“Brother Li…” Li Yichen hesitated, unsure of what to say. The other two also looked at Li Muyang.
In a battle of this magnitude, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er were confident they could escape unscathed, but to kill an immortal monster like Tong Mo, they had absolutely no chance of winning without the buff from Li Muyang's weapon.
As for now? If the two of them join forces, Doma is doomed! At least based on Doma's current fighting prowess!
As for Lu You, he had been silent for a long time, and only now did he have a clearer understanding of the extraordinary level of combat power!
Li Muyang silently observed the battle situation without replying to the three newbies. He understood their thoughts, but it wasn't the right time yet!
The three of them only saw that Kanae Butterfly was at a disadvantage, but they had not yet witnessed her conviction!
Besides their own strength, combat experience, and conviction, all three are indispensable! Since he was going to teach three people, Li Muyang had to make sure he taught them everything he could think of!
Therefore, the group watched helplessly as Kanae Kocho, despite Doma's attacks, tenaciously dodged fatal blows time and time again, and continued to fight again and again.
Gradually, the three newbies went from feeling pity and heartache to feeling respect and awe!
Perhaps at this moment, they finally realized that they were not facing a virtual character, but a living person in the real world, not a delicate girl or a pretty but fragile vase, but a warrior with firm beliefs!
Why was Kanae Kocho able to keep getting back up? Because her belief remained unwavering! Facing a powerful enemy, she considered every possibility and method, but never considered giving up! Even if it meant death, she would bite off a piece of Doma's flesh!
Noticing the change in the three people's expressions, Li Muyang slowly spoke, "Do you understand?"
The three nodded, seemingly understanding, and Li Yichen spoke first, asking, "Brother Li, why did you join the Management Bureau?"
Li Muyang scratched his head: "My world is dangerous. If you're not strong enough, you really will die! I don't want to die! I don't want my family and friends to die either, understand?"
The three fell silent. Before, they only knew that Li Muyang was very strong, but now they suddenly had a more concrete understanding of why Li Muyang was so strong!
"Such a belief cannot be formed in a short time. You are just beginners now, so there's no need to rush. Think about it slowly. I just don't want you to fly around like headless flies. That kind of muddled mentality is very dangerous for cultivation, especially if you gain too much power in the future! I don't want your names to appear on my list of wanted criminals one day!"
The three were left speechless, both amused and exasperated by Li Muyang's words, unsure of how to respond.
"Alright, we can't just watch anymore. She's really close to her limit." Li Muyang clapped his hands, stood up, and removed the room that had been surrounding the group. It was time to make his appearance!
Are you kidding me?! If he wasn't going to save people, what was the point of him waiting here all night? Do you really think he was just a bystander?
The moment the room was removed, Doma and Kanae Kocho sensed the presence of the group. They did feel like they were being watched, but they couldn't pinpoint where anyone was. This area looked like it had been razed to the ground! They still couldn't find any trace of the others.
They were almost starting to think it was their imagination!
But the other party also has this misconception!
Surely they can't both be mistaken?
Now it seems there really was voyeurism!
Upon noticing the sudden appearance of a group of people, Doma was momentarily stunned. Kanae Kocho seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful blow to Doma with all her might. If Doma hadn't reacted in time, he would have almost lost his life.
He then angrily knocked Kanae Kocho away; this woman was truly tenacious! Even though she couldn't beat him, she'd managed to stall for so long! It even seemed like she could keep going!
Delaying is possible, but if it continues indefinitely, Kanae Kocho is essentially squeezing her life out of her to buy time!
This is why Li Muyang chose this time to make his move!
He instantly appeared behind Kanae, who had been knocked away, and a gentle force supported the heavily injured Hanahashi. Then, ignoring Doma's presence, he immediately activated his healing mode.
