Chapter 57

The two people who arrived here, one of them, the man, is none other than Giyu Tomioka, who had a brief encounter with Yudai and Tanjiro before.

And his identity is also one of the current nine Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Water Hashira.

As for the other woman, who maintained a smile, she is also one of the current nine Hashira, the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho!

The status of the Hashira in the Demon Slayer Corps is comparable to that of a general in ancient times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the strongest beings in the Demon Slayer Corps.

This time, the two Hashira sent down to investigate the anomaly at Fujikazan clearly shows the importance placed on this matter by the higher-ups.

It is not something that can be taken lightly, as Fujikazan has imprisoned countless demons over the years. The captured demons are used, on one hand, to train new recruits, and on the other hand, to make these evil demons repent through the long years and hunger.

After being imprisoned for so many years, just thinking about it, one can imagine how much malevolent energy the demons in Fujikazan possess. If something were to go wrong at Fujikazan, and these demons were to escape its boundaries, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although the demons imprisoned at Fujikazan are not strong, their numbers are vast, accumulated over many years.

If the wisteria flowers at the foot of Fujikazan can no longer stop these demons, the massive number of demons entering the world would require a considerable amount of time to deal with, even if the entire Demon Slayer Corps were to mobilize.

Returning to a familiar place, Giyu Tomioka looked at the wisteria flowers before him, and his usually cold expression softened, as if recalling something from the past.

Although Giyu Tomioka is now one of the nine Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, in the past, he was no different from the young men and women here.

As a disciple of Sakonji Urokodaki, Giyu Tomioka, who participated in the entrance examination, was naturally targeted by a hand demon.

However, he was saved by someone else. That person, who was extremely talented and brave, stayed behind, while the cowardly and weak Giyu survived and passed the examination...

"Mr. Giyu, what do you plan to do next? Are you going to investigate inside Fujikazan?"

Shinobu Kocho's voice interrupted Giyu Tomioka's reminiscence. Looking at the wisteria flowers before him, he nodded, acknowledging her suggestion.

The young men and women participating in the examination know very little about what happens inside Fujikazan.

To understand what is happening inside, they would have to go in themselves. And if he were to encounter that person again this time...

Giyu Tomioka would not hesitate to avenge his former friend and personally put an end to him!

"Another person has come out. This guy is really lucky, he basically made it to the top of the mountain just in time."

Just as Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho were about to enter Fujikazan to investigate and figure out what had happened, another figure slowly emerged from Fujikazan and slowly walked towards the steps in front.

When everyone saw the last person to pass the examination, who basically made it to the top of the mountain just in time, their faces were filled with surprise.

The young man before them had short brown hair, and although his handsome face was covered in blood, it showed a look of unfinished business.

The blade of his Nichirin sword was already heavily chipped, and as he dragged the tip of the sword along the ground, it left a trail of fresh blood. His clothes, though tattered, could not hide the formidable aura emanating from him.

After a long and intense battle, a large number of demons were killed by Yudai, causing his current aura to be extremely terrifying.

Yudai slowly walked up the steps, his movements slow, but no one could ignore him.

Because of the overwhelming aura and surging fighting spirit emanating from him, he looked like a demon who had just emerged from hell.

After a large number of examination participants reached the top of the mountain, Yudai chose to stay in Fujikazan and began to slaughter the demons, which quickly aroused the fear of all the demons in Fujikazan.

They had already chosen to submit and give up the rare opportunity to devour flesh, allowing this batch of examination participants to pass. But they never expected that the madman would not let them off!

The continuous hunting of their kind finally made the demons unable to bear the psychological pressure of waiting for death, and they ultimately chose to resist together!

Since they were going to die anyway, it was better to unite and kill the madman together.

So, for the first time in history, the demons of Fujikazan chose to unite and launched a campaign against Yudai, who was like a demon.

Yudai, who had already completed his mission and was planning to leave, did not expect that his previous reckless actions would thoroughly anger all the demons of Fujikazan.

No one wanted to wait for death, and Yudai's existence clearly threatened all the demons in Fujikazan. Therefore, almost all the demons of Fujikazan participated in this encirclement.

This battle lasted for more than half a day. Even with Yudai's current strength, facing the simultaneous attack of nearly a hundred demons, he was once in a desperate situation.

The demons of Fujikazan were not strong, but there were also special demons who could use "Blood Demon Art." In the face of such an encirclement, even Yudai had to be fully focused.

Moreover, the Nichirin sword in his hand was not suitable for using his "Demon Breathing Technique," so Yudai could only fully utilize all the sword techniques of "Furin Kazan" and engage in close combat with these demons.

What does it mean to face a hundred demons? Even if they stood still and let you cut them, it would take you a while.

Not to mention that these demons were not cattle or sheep; they had considerable physical strength and abilities. In the face of such an encirclement, it would also cause a huge psychological pressure for ordinary people.

In this battle, Yudai almost used all his skills, whether it was "Half-Demonization" or "Furin Kazan," he unleashed them without reservation.

Demons were continuously being killed, but he also fell into a state of exhaustion several times. Fortunately, he still had a considerable amount of reputation.

By using his reputation to exchange for a large number of "Low-Quality Demon Energy Crystals," he was able to win this battle by utilizing his ability to "replenish his energy."

As for his results, there are probably very few living demons left in the entire Fujikazan.

Yudai slowly walked up the steps, and just as he was about to approach Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho, Shinobu's right hand unconsciously gripped the hilt of her sword.

Although she is the Insect Hashira, she could feel that the person in front of her was extremely dangerous. Just the aura emanating from him made her body feel quite uneasy.
