Chapter 58: Terrifying Weapons

"Knowing how to pick up a weapon is naturally important, but knowing how to put it down when necessary is even more important. The weapon in your hand can not only kill demons, but also easily kill people."

Before Chu Yang started to try the weapons, Gyomei Himejima warned him with earnest words, which can be described as painstaking.

"Mr. Himejima, don't worry, I know the meaning of this power on me." Chu Yang replied sincerely, and then walked to the pile of heavy weapons to look carefully.

Flail, mace, chain hammer, giant board axe taller than a person, and a horse-slaying sword with a blade almost as wide as a door panel.

It made Chu Yang break out in a cold sweat.

This is not choosing a weapon, it is clearly choosing an instrument of torture, a large-scale crime tool identification scene!

There are even long-handled big swords and spears with ancient Chinese characteristics.

Guan Yu would give a thumbs up if he came.

Gyomei Himejima's weapon is actually a modified version of the chain hammer, with a broad axe connected to the other end to further strengthen the lethality. Honestly, he very much hopes that Chu Yang will choose a weapon similar to his own.

However, Chu Yang finally chose the horse-slaying sword.

This thing is at least a sword.

Others have nothing to do with "Nichirin sword," and Chu Yang doesn't really want to use them.

At worst, change the name to "Tessaiga" or "Zangetsu," anyway, they look quite similar.

Gyomei Himejima sighed, looking a bit lost.

What's wrong with the chain hammer? Strong lethality, easy to operate, killing demons one by one.

Don't know how to appreciate! Gyomei Himejima reminded, "You are not an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps yet, so the weapon in your hand is only temporary, allowing you to participate in the Final Selection."

"Although the weapon form is different, the moves are similar. You only need to know how to be flexible in the details."

Gyomei Himejima picked up the weapon and began to demonstrate the sword skills of Rock Breathing for Chu Yang.

Most heavy weapon usage techniques have commonalities. Gyomei Himejima hopes that Chu Yang can find techniques that suit him and can make the horse-slaying sword play to its strengths.

Chu Yang watched intently, firmly remembering all the moves in his mind.

Because the number of successors of Rock Breathing is small, its moves are much less than other schools. Gyomei Himejima stopped his movements after demonstrating the Fifth Form to Chu Yang.

"The moves I know end here. Next, it depends on you to complete them." Gyomei Himejima put down the weapon and put his hands together, "If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me now."

Chu Yang shook his head, indicating that he had no doubts.

Seeing this, Gyomei Himejima couldn't help but sigh, inexplicably a bit lonely. It is indeed very easy to teach a genius like Chu Yang, but it is too easy to make him feel no sense of accomplishment.

Especially the Rock Breathing, which is the most difficult to practice among the five major breathing styles.

"Recently, I am going out to investigate the actions of demons and be responsible for cleaning up the demons in the jurisdiction, so you have to stay in the temple to practice alone. Remember, light the Wisteria incense at night."

When talking about Wisteria incense, Gyomei Himejima's expression looked a bit unnatural, as if recalling some sad memories. He returned to the room to pack his bags, and after giving Chu Yang some instructions, he left.

After Gyomei Himejima left, Chu Yang carried water up the mountain every day, even if the water jars in the backyard were already full, he still enjoyed it.

The training effect was very obvious. He could return to the temple at noon soon, and even spare an afternoon to practice sword skills.

But Chu Yang obviously didn't take Gyomei Himejima's instructions to heart, and the Wisteria incense placed in the temple was never lit once.

Another half month passed, and Chu Yang practiced sword skills in the yard until late at night.

Suddenly smelled a strange smell.

This is a smell that is hard to describe.

It's like putting a pile of rotten food and corpses together and constantly fermenting. Chu Yang was about to vomit from the smell! He suddenly realized... this is the smell of a demon! Subsequently, Chu Yang immediately unfolded his Observation Haki and finally heard something constantly approaching the periphery of the temple, moving extremely fast, like a starving beast seeing food.

Chu Yang held his breath, skillfully entered the state of Total Concentration Breathing, and stared at the front gate of the temple.

*Boom!!! * With a loud noise, the gate collapsed, and a black shadow rushed out from the darkness, rushing towards Chu Yang rapidly in the moonlight! At the same time, Chu Yang jumped high! The horse-slaying sword in his hand slashed towards the black shadow from top to bottom with great force!

【Rock Breathing, Second Form: Upper Smash】

The powerful force caused the air to vibrate, and the violent airflow made the black shadow that attacked Chu Yang startled.

This guy with a horse-slaying sword is not an ordinary person!

When death arrived...

The black shadow roared in its heart, trying its best to dodge this blow sideways! It succeeded!

The horse-slaying sword was originally slashed at its head.

As a result, it was slashed from its right shoulder all the way to its right leg, cutting it alive into two halves! "Ah ah ah ah!!!"

The black shadow let out a miserable howl, partly because of pain, and partly because of fear.

Just one encounter, and Chu Yang severely wounded it! If it weren't a demon, it would have died long ago!

After cutting off half of the black shadow's body, Chu Yang and it passed by each other. Both sides turned their heads at the same time and saw each other's faces.

The black shadow was indeed a demon, and it was also in the image of a handsome teenager.

Just ferocious, with strange runes all over his face.

The teenage demon stared at Chu Yang with scarlet eyes.

Seeming to want to remember his face and find a chance to take revenge later.

"I was clearly aiming for the head, what a pity..." Chu Yang felt a bit uncomfortable. This was his first fight with a demon, and he underestimated the other party's speed.

The teenage demon, who only had half a body standing on the ground with one foot, had no idea of fighting for his life with this swordsman who looked like himself.

It knew that fighting for life only had one end, and that was death.

So, it didn't think much about it, jumped up to the eaves, and prepared to jump over the wall to escape this strange temple.

A gust of wind blew.

The teenage demon's heart once again surged with the shadow of death just now, subconsciously leaning to the right, and as a result, that familiar huge horse-slaying sword flashed past its left shoulder.

*Puchi*, another arm flew out.

*Pop*, the arm fell to the ground, forming a pair with the previously broken arm.

This time the teenage demon didn't scream. It was like being stuffed into an ice cellar, shaking wildly. The fear of death obviously exceeded the pain.

"Oops, the reaction is really fast, I missed again!" Chu Yang looked at the teenage demon unexpectedly. Its prediction of danger was almost catching up with his Observation Haki, and it was able to escape death twice.

"Is your Blood Demon Art predicting danger?" Chu Yang stared at the teenage demon with an unhappy face.

The teenage demon was shocked, because Chu Yang guessed right, its Blood Demon Art can indeed predict danger to a certain extent, that is, strengthen instinct.

The teenage demon's body is recovering, and the speed is very fast.

But it is not sure whether it can drag until the moment the body is fully recovered. The teenager who is eyeing it, the sword in his hand is as big as a door panel, and can easily cut off its body.

Clearly carrying such a heavy weapon, the teenager's speed is as fast as thunder! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
