Chapter 68

The young samurai reached out his hand.

He took these six punches head-on.

With every impact, he retreated one step.

Until six steps later.

Kaedehara Kazuha finally stopped moving.

He looked at his hardened palm, seemingly understanding the key to the second stage of Haki.

Hardening is condensation.

While emission is flow.

Do not let Haki flow to unnecessary places.

It must be condensed into a single point!

"So this is what the Master meant by the second stage of Haki? Indeed, only when truly facing an opponent can one understand this meaning...

To repay you.

Before the sky turns bright.

I shall send you to the afterlife."

Kaedehara Kazuha gripped his blade, and a layer of Haki slowly coiled around it...

Unlike before.

This time, the blade was continuously enveloped by a layer of formless air currents.

Wind coiled around it.

And Haki was attached within.

Then, flames ignited.

Akaza’s pupils shrank violently, for he saw the power condensed upon that blade.

"What a formidable guy. I acknowledge you. Taste my strongest ultimate technique."

"Destructive Death: Final Form: Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow..."

"Hahahahaha..."

The compass needle condensed beneath Akaza’s feet.

It transformed into hundreds of projectiles that erupted in an instant.

Yet, the next moment, Tanjiro and the others witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Kaedehara Kazuha swung his sword toward the Upper Rank demon.

The black sword energy tore through everything.

All of the enemy's techniques were buried within the sword energy.

In less than a short second.

Ling

The sword energy landed on Akaza.

Long

Although the projectiles were powerful.

8

However, the addition of three powers was even more powerful!

5

Crack.

6

A crisp sound of Akaza’s bones cracking rang out.

1

Then they shattered completely.

0

Flames and wind swallowed Akaza.

9

The Upper Rank Three was completely obliterated.

7

"The battle was easier than I imagined..."

8

Kaedehara Kazuha looked at the gradually brightening sky in the distance.

2

A faint smile appeared on his face.

One step closer to revitalizing the Kaedehara clan.

At this moment, Kyojuro Rengoku forced himself to walk before him and said, "You are so strong, friend, to be able to kill even an Upper Rank demon.

May I ask what that move was called?"

Killing an Upper Rank in one strike.

It truly opened his eyes.

Although the Flame Hashira was already a powerful existence.

He felt as though he had been a frog in a well.

"Oh, I haven't thought of a name yet. Since I attained enlightenment at dawn, let's call it Dawn."

Kaedehara Kazuha said calmly.

Mission accomplished.

He prepared to leave as well.

Just then, Tanjiro Kamado behind him asked, "Sir, do you know a lady who uses lightning? We haven't thanked her since she saved us last time."

"You mean Miss Keqing, right? She didn't come this time, but I will pass on your thanks. I can see you are also heavily injured.

Rest easy and recover."

After Kaedehara Kazuha finished speaking, his body gradually faded.

Soon, he disappeared without a trace.

Kyojuro Rengoku said in shock, "I didn't quite believe it when I heard someone saved you before. This time, I truly believe it..."

"Perhaps they are immortals, Brother Rengoku... It is all thanks to him."

"Hmm, if not for him, I might not have held on..."

Kyojuro Rengoku clutched his wound.

Slowly, he sat on the ground.

In reality, he was already nearing exhaustion.

Being able to hold on without passing out.

Was already his utmost effort.

Serenitea Pot.

Kaedehara Kazuha said to Su Han, "Master, I have fulfilled my duty. The mission is complete..."

"Hmm, well done. But you still need to continue working hard..."

Facing Su Han’s praise.

The youth was very happy.

"Yes, Master, I will continue to work hard in the future... I will absolutely not let down your expectations."

After resting for a while.

Kaedehara Kazuha began his tedious training again.

While Su Han looked toward the group.

Entering the same world again seemed to have surprised the others greatly.

Ningguang: "Since we can enter the world of *Demon Slayer*, does that mean... we can enter the world of *Wind and Cloud* again?"

The benefits from the Fire Qilin last time.

Gave her a taste of success.

Since there is a Fire Qilin, does that mean within the *Wind and Cloud* world.

There are other exotic beasts?

Keqing: "It should be possible. I don't think the Fire Qilin is the most powerful one. The world of *Digimon* is more powerful; let's get a few more Digimon."

Once we raise them.

Wouldn't we be able to become the strongest nation!"

Ganyu: "That world of Devil Fruits is also quite good! Keqing consumed the Flower-Flower Fruit; if there are other Devil Fruits."

They can also be given to others to consume."

Su Han: "You all are overthinking it. This mission is completely random. Who knows which world the next mission will be in..."

If it were really that simple.

Then this wouldn't be called the Heavens Mission Group.

We might as well change it to the Instance Mission Group.

Zhongli: "But one day, we will return to familiar worlds. If there is an opportunity, we must cherish it."

Xiangling: "Mm, that is indeed true."

Hu Tao: "Right, that Uncle Nine is quite good. Next time we meet him, I'll have him teach me some spells. Hehe..."

Maoshan Daoist arts.

She has already learned them all.

Hu Tao likes the knowledge within them very much.

Especially the art of talismans.

It's just a pity that Qiqi hasn't been seen anywhere for the past few days.

She hasn't even had a chance to experiment.

Kaedehara Kazuha: "I want to spar with people from the Devil Fruit world; that way, my Haki can improve faster."

Sucrose: "I hope to encounter people from a technological world, so we can invent more things."

The book *Otherworld Engineering*.

Has been a great inspiration to her.

If there are similar books, or worlds.

Sucrose would be very eager to visit them.

Su Han: "Rest assured, the worlds you like will all be there. In three days, it will be the tenth mission; I don't know what changes there will be then."

Ningguang: "I guess the functions within the group will increase, and perhaps the difficulty of the missions will rise accordingly."

Zhongli: "Mm, that is what I think as well. There are too few public missions for Level 1 members, and the items Level 3 members can purchase cost millions."

It is truly difficult to scrape together."

Take the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Koromon for comparison.

They are worth five million.

A three-star mission only gives fifty thousand points.

How many of these would one have to do?

If we assume a three-star mission refreshes every time, it would take one hundred missions, occurring once every three days.

It would take nine hundred days to redeem them.

Su Han is also thinking about this problem; clearly, the mission prices for Level 3 members are too high.

Perhaps there will be some major benefits for Level 2 group chats, who knows.

Watching everyone chatting enthusiastically.

He silently opened the system messages to check the rewards for this mission.

[Ding... Congratulations to member Kaedehara Kazuha for completing the three-star mission. As the Group Leader, you receive an additional mission reward: 5,000 points.]

[Ding... Congratulations to member Kaedehara Kazuha for completing the three-star mission. As the Group Leader, you receive the mission compensation: Lightning Spirit Body.]

Lightning Spirit Body: A special constitution obtained by infusing the body with powerful thunder; mastery of lightning-element power becomes easier, and the body becomes more compatible with lightning.

"Could this be Zenitsu Agatsuma's constitution?"

Su Han muttered to himself while looking at the reward.

He originally thought the reward would be Tanjiro Kamado's sense of smell.

But he never expected.

The reward would be Zenitsu Agatsuma's constitution.

Within the *Demon Slayer* world.

Zenitsu Agatsuma was struck by lightning, thereby obtaining a special constitution; although he doesn't know other forms of the Thunder Breathing style.

His Thunderclap and Flash is terrifyingly fast.

Su Han closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.

Originally, he had a Pure Yang Body.

Now he has added a Lightning constitution.

The two fused together without any conflict.

The activity of the lightning element.

Increased by nearly tenfold.

Su Han tried to use lightning, only to find that the violent lightning elements were as obedient as toys in his hands.

With just a single thought.

The lightning would automatically change shape.

"What are you doing?"

Just as Su Han was playing with the lightning.

Shenhe walked over slowly from outside.

In her hands, she held a stack of paper money and some incense candles.

The maid beside her carried some fruits.

Su Han put away the lightning and smiled: "My strength improved a bit today; my control over lightning has become stronger. Did you pick out everything?"

"Mm, I bought everything as you said."

Shenhe raised the items in her hands.

Indicating that nothing had been left out.

Su Han nodded and smiled: "Let's go..."

The two walked side by side.

Following a small path toward a dilapidated village.

Looking at the familiar road.

Shenhe turned her head and asked: "How did you know this is my hometown?"

At first, she thought Su Han asked her to buy things.

To mourn someone.

She never expected him to bring her here.

Su Han smiled: "You haven't been back for a long time, have you?"

"Mm, I've been back a few times before. But looking at the dilapidated houses, I didn't know what to do, so I ended up leaving."

Home.

Is a very distant word for Shenhe.

There was indeed a beautiful period of time in her memories.

But it was very short.

When she looked back suddenly, her home had already turned into ruins.

Overgrown with weeds.

The memories of the past were all shattered.
