Chapter 47

"A human actually carrying a demon?"

In the moment when the Blue-faced Demon was kicked away, he looked at the Muzan who had jumped out of the bamboo basket on Tanjirou's back, his face full of shock.

Because he had never imagined that a human would carry a demon with them, and more importantly, that the demon would not attack the human!

This made the Blue-faced Demon almost incredulous, because once a human turns into a demon, they generally lose most of their rationality. Once they get hungry, they will attack anyone, even their own family and friends.

And now, what was happening in front of him was that a human was carrying a demon, and had not died yet?

In the moment when the Blue-faced Demon was kicked away by Muzan, Yudai also slowly walked out from behind. At this point, the Blue-faced Demon came to his senses. Now was not the time to be shocked; he needed to escape quickly.

Although it was different from his original plan, the Blue-faced Demon looked at Tanjirou and Muzan in front of him, and then at Yudai slowly approaching from behind. He felt that he still had a chance to escape.

Although he didn't know why the female demon was protecting the human, he was sure that the madman would go crazy and attack the human once he saw the blood.

The female demon would have to fight the madman to protect the human, and at that moment, he would run away, leaving the two young people to deal with the madman on their own.

Yudai and Muzan both moved, charging at the opponent with incredible speed. The Blue-faced Demon, at this moment, wore a smug expression, thinking everything was going according to his plan.

But soon, Muzan's kick and Yudai's claws directly hit the Blue-faced Demon, who was still in a daze.

Muzan, with her soccer-like skills, kicked the Blue-faced Demon's head away with a violent kick, and Yudai's claws pierced through the Blue-faced Demon's body like a hot knife through butter.

"Why..."

The Blue-faced Demon's head, kicked away by Muzan, wore a look of confusion, not understanding why Yudai would attack him first.

According to the nature of demons, when they are hungry, their first target should be either Muzan or the human Tanjirou.

Yudai, while reverting from his 'half-demon' state, looked at the confused Blue-faced Demon and smiled.

"It's a simple reason, because we are on the same side..."

Upon hearing Yudai's words, the Blue-faced Demon felt that his worldview was completely shattered.

Not only was a human carrying two demons without being harmed, but when did demons start working together?

The two laws that humans and demons cannot coexist and that demons always act alone were like ironclad rules, but now they were changing right before his eyes.

After reverting from his 'half-demon' state, Yudai's long red hair gradually shortened back to its original brown short hair, the horns on his head retracted into his body, and his claws fell off.

The previously manic expression on his face returned to its usual handsome and refined appearance, making it hard to believe that the Yudai who fought like a madman was the same person as the current refined Yudai.

In fact, it wasn't that the Blue-faced Demon was so powerful that Yudai needed to use his 'half-demon' state to defeat him.

On the contrary, this Blue-faced Demon's strength was even less than the limb demon Yudai encountered when he first arrived in this world.

The reason Yudai used his 'half-demon' state was simply because he wanted to use these demons to gradually learn how to control the power of 'half-demon' state.

In his previous world, due to the dense population and advanced technology, any loss of control would result in irreparable consequences.

So, although Yudai had always tried to master the 'half-demon' state, he never had the opportunity.

In the world he came from, with advanced technology, the appearance of a 'half-demon' version of himself would likely result in his immediate elimination.

After all, he didn't believe that there were no hidden strong beings in his world.

If humans were truly so fragile, they would have been wiped out long ago during the more powerful demon eras of the Heian and Edo periods.

The 'half-demon' state, although powerful, had the drawback of losing rationality, which had always been a headache for Yudai.

However, in this Demon Slayer world, Yudai didn't need to be so cautious about using his 'half-demon' state.

This world was already in chaos, and even if there were strong beings who could kill him, they likely wouldn't be able to deal with him in a short time.

So, whenever there were no other humans around and Yudai was alone with demons, he would use his 'half-demon' state.

The almost indestructible nature of these demons made them perfect training partners, as they could withstand any amount of abuse.

Thanks to this, Yudai's use of the 'half-demon' state became increasingly proficient.

Although he still became extremely aggressive and brutal when using the 'half-demon' state, he could now control it to some extent, without having to wait for his demonic energy to be completely drained.

"The house is full of the smell of blood, so we probably can't stay there. Even if we could, Muzan might go crazy, so let's continue to stay outside."

Picking up Tanjirou's axe, Yudai nailed the Blue-faced Demon's head to a tree stump, threw the Blue-faced Demon's body off the cliff, and then went into the house to get a set of bedding, preparing to sleep on the ground.

The kind-hearted Tanjirou, upon learning that the entire family had met with disaster, collected their bodies and buried them before preparing to rest.

However, the Blue-faced Demon, seeing Yudai and Tanjirou about to sleep on the ground, became anxious and started to chatter.

Because his position was quite precarious, once the sun came up, he would be the first to be exposed to the sunlight.

"Muzan, go make him quiet. He's disturbing me and your brother's sleep."

Muzan, who was active at night and slept during the day, obediently went to the Blue-faced Demon. Seeing the chattering Blue-faced Demon and the sleeping Tanjirou, her face showed displeasure.

Before the Blue-faced Demon could speak, Muzan's foot kicked directly at his face.

"You and that red-haired madman are demons, right? When the sun comes up, you will die with me!"

The Blue-faced Demon, realizing he had no chance of survival, started to scream wildly, but he was met with even more ruthless punches and kicks from the girl.

By dawn, Muzan naturally returned to her bamboo basket, covered herself with a hemp cloth, and left the Blue-faced Demon's head, still in a daze, on the tree stump.
