Chapter 54

Because of these two girls, Yudou also stopped his running figure and looked at the long sword on the girl's waist, his eyes lighting up.

"Is the sword you carry a Nichirin Blade?"

Yudou looked seriously at the girl in front of him and asked. At this moment, if the girl's answer was "no," Yudou would turn around and leave directly.

Although saving a damsel in distress is nice, facing such a large number of demons, even Yudou, without the means to kill them, could only protect himself and had no spare strength to protect others.

The girl, who had already fallen into despair, though she didn't understand why Yudou would ask such a question in this situation, still answered honestly: "Of course it's a Nichirin Blade. In the face of demons, carrying other weapons is useless. Isn't that common sense?"

The girl looked at the demons gradually surrounding them, her expression filled with intense fear, and her hand holding the Nichirin Blade trembled continuously.

"Rather than being devoured by these demons, I'd rather end my own life!"

The girl showed a hint of determination, the tragic scenes of her previous companions still vivid in her mind. She didn't want to die in such agony, so she picked up the Nichirin Blade and prepared to commit suicide.

At this moment, a hand reached out from beside the girl and stopped her from committing suicide.

"With such poor mental fortitude, I wonder why you chose to come here.

How about a deal? I can ensure your survival through the test, and in exchange, you lend me this Nichirin Blade until the test ends."

The person who stopped the girl from committing suicide was naturally Yudou.

Originally, he could have avoided this unnecessary deal; after the girl committed suicide, her Nichirin Blade would still end up in Yudou's hands.

However, Yudou's upbringing indeed prevented him from standing idly by and watching such a scene unfold.

"Even if I lend you the sword, what difference does it make? We are only three people, and there are over ten demons in front of us. There's no hope of winning.

Moreover, my Nichirin Blade is only suitable for the Sound Breathing technique. Do you also use the Sound Breathing technique?"

The girl's school of thought was derived from the Wind Breathing technique, known as the Sound Breathing technique. She remembered her mentor telling her that there weren't many practitioners of their breathing style.

"I don't need to know your so-called Sound Breathing technique. As long as your sword can kill demons, that's enough!"

Yudou took the Nichirin Blade from the girl, and his aura suddenly changed. As a swordsmanship expert, he could sense that this sword was not suitable for him, and the will of the sword seemed to resist him.

However, there weren't many options at the moment. Yudou didn't need a suitable sword; he just needed a weapon that could kill demons!

"Boy, I want to see how you run now. Weren't you running pretty fast earlier? Show me how you run now."

Seeing Yudou finally stop, the demons who had been chasing him were the happiest. When they first discovered Yudou, they noticed that he had a similar aura to them but was still in the "edible" category.

In such a desolate place, having something to eat was already a good thing, and the demons of Mount Fujisaki didn't mind being picky.

However, even so, Yudou, who didn't seem very appetizing to them, had managed to elude them for half of Mount Fujisaki, and they couldn't catch the slippery boy.

The more they couldn't catch him, the more frustrated they became. Now that they finally caught him, and there were two more delicate and apparently more delicious girls, they were even more excited.

"These two girls are our prey. That boy is yours. If you cross the line, don't blame us for being unfriendly."

The three demons who had been chasing the girls thought they would have a feast when they caught the girls.

However, they didn't expect that suddenly, over ten of their kind appeared, so they quickly claimed the prey.

But the over ten demons who had been chasing Yudou didn't buy it.

"Your prey? Who do you think you are? When I was caught in Mount Fujisaki, you were still playing in the mud.

Quickly get lost. We've been chasing that boy for so long, and he's ours. Now that we've seen those two girls, they're ours too!"

With so many demons, dividing three humans would barely give each one a leg, so they were unwilling to share with the three demons chasing the girls.

And with their numbers, the demons chasing Yudou directly told the other demons to scram.

Just as both sides were about to fight, a brilliant sword light cut through the air...

The demon who had been the most aggressive towards Yudou and claimed to be the oldest felt a chill on his neck, and his perspective quickly spun, until he saw his own back.

"You don't need to fight over it because you are all my prey!"

After beheading a demon with one strike, Yudou showed a sinister smile and charged into the group of demons!

Hearing Yudou's arrogant words and seeing him charge towards them, the other demons were immediately enraged.

In their view, Yudou and the others were just a dish, and the only question was how to divide it.

But now, the prey not only fought back but also spoke such arrogant words. How could they tolerate this?

"What right does a piece of trash we've been chasing have to speak so arrogantly?"

"I've eaten at least five arrogant brats like you!"

Yudou, holding the Nichirin Blade, saw the demon he had beheaded turn to ashes on the ground and showed a confident smile.

"Is this the Nichirin Blade? It does seem to be the bane of demons. If I had this thing earlier, the mission would have been completed long ago."

As for the two girls, they watched Yudou face the fierce demons without a hint of fear, instead charging forward with excitement, and they covered their eyes.

They didn't want to witness the despair of their companions being devoured by demons again.

But after a few seconds, the two girls, who had covered their eyes, didn't hear the expected screams of the boy.

Instead, the screams came from the demons who had been boasting earlier?

The piercing screams of the demons piqued the girls' curiosity, which ultimately overcame their fear. When they slowly lowered their hands from their eyes, what they saw almost made their jaws drop...
