Chapter 59: The Strongest Talent in History
"I know you are waiting for your legs to recover, but unfortunately, this is my first time fighting a demon, and I must ensure that nothing goes wrong, so..."
Chu Yang's words suddenly woke up the teenage demon. The latter wanted to use his last strength to escape. Just as he turned around, the sword light pulled a white line in the dark night and crossed its neck.
The teenage demon's head flew high. When it rotated in the air, it first saw its own body, and then saw its own arms.
The head landed steadily between the arms, and the three combined together, like a weird work of art.
The head was burning, and the teenage demon's life entered a countdown.
"Who are you? Are you from the Demon Slayer Corps? Ordinary members can't have this kind of strength..."
The dying teenage demon still wanted to say something, but only saw Chu Yang jump high and smash his horse-slaying sword towards its head.
After a roar of the earth, the temple became silent again.
Early the next morning, Gyomei Himejima returned to the temple facing the first ray of sunlight. The smell of demons still remained in the air. His face changed, and he rushed into the temple quickly.
The nightmare in the deepest part of his heart surged with memory, and a violent murderous aura suddenly surged on Gyomei Himejima.
Vajra angry eyes, Bodhisattva lowered eyebrows.
But soon, his murderous aura disappeared.
Chu Yang yawned and pushed open the door to walk out. He wiped the eye mucus before seeing Gyomei Himejima, and immediately said with a look of surprise, "Mr. Himejima, you are back!"
The days of living alone in a deep mountain temple were not easy, without anyone to talk to. Although Chu Yang liked quiet and not noisy, he was not a loner.
Gyomei Himejima was still that calm appearance, as if the person who was on the verge of running away just now was not him. He asked slowly, "A demon appeared here last night?"
"Yeah! Just a small role, killed by me in two... three swords." Recalling that he took three swords to cut off the head of the teenage demon, Chu Yang felt a bit ashamed. His practice was still not enough. If the horse-slaying sword could be used more smoothly, the last two swords would not be necessary at all.
Two or three swords?
Gyomei Himejima was full of question marks and said, "Tell me the process of fighting the demon last night."
So Chu Yang began to recount the encounter last night and made a profound self-reflection on it, claiming that his practice was not in place. Originally, he could solve it with one sword, but it dragged on to the third sword.
Gyomei Himejima, who finished listening, fell into deep silence, and didn't speak for a long time.
For Chu Yang's performance, he didn't know how to evaluate it.
Even as the strongest of the current Hashira, when he first fought a demon after officially becoming a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, the process was also full of dangers.
In contrast, Chu Yang's battle was relaxed enough.
Should I recommend him to participate in the Final Selection directly?
Doubts began to emerge in Gyomei Himejima's heart. It is a bit shocking to participate in the Final Selection after only one month of training.
At the current time point, Muichiro Tokito has not yet joined the Demon Slayer Corps and is still an ordinary person. Otherwise, compared with his talent of becoming a Hashira in two months, Gyomei Himejima would not feel that the talent Chu Yang showed was exaggerated.
After careful consideration, Gyomei Himejima still decided to let Chu Yang participate in the Final Selection. With Chu Yang's current state, if he wants to improve, he can only rely on actual combat.
Moreover, the casualty rate of the front line of the Demon Slayer Corps has been very high for a long time, and fresh blood is urgently needed. The joining of a genius like Chu Yang will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm.
"You prepare, go to Fujikasane Mountain to participate in the Final Selection!" Gyomei Himejima said firmly, "It's time now. If you become an official member early, you can kill those evil demons one day earlier."
Chu Yang nodded heavily.
"Good!"
Three days later, Chu Yang went to Fujikasane Mountain alone to participate in the trial. As the location of the Final Selection, Fujikasane Mountain is relatively remote, similar to the temple where Gyomei Himejima practices, both in the depths of the mountains.
However, Fujikasane Mountain has a very distinct feature, which makes people determine its location from a long distance.
From the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain.
Fujikasane Mountain is covered with Wisteria flowers that demons hate most all year round.
The Wisteria incense stored in the temple is made from Wisteria flowers as raw materials.
Looking from a distance, the light purple ocean surrounds the mountain range, and Chu Yang only needs to follow this sea of flowers to find the destination.
A moment later, a stone slab road appeared under Chu Yang's feet.
Continuing to walk forward, Chu Yang climbed a stone step, and at the end of the stone step was a torii gate.
After passing through the torii gate, Chu Yang came to a platform.
There were people all around, everyone had a sword at their waist, only Chu Yang was carrying a sword.
"Wow! What a big sword!"
With the exclamation, Chu Yang's appearance attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked at Chu Yang curiously, but more were looking at the sword behind him.
Compared with Chu Yang's horse-slaying sword, the swords in other people's hands were as thin as matches.
While they were looking at Chu Yang, Chu Yang was also observing them. A girl wearing a mask attracted Chu Yang's attention.
It was a smiling fox mask with a blue flower pattern, and Chu Yang felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
After a while, the Demon Slayer Corps sent someone to explain the content of the Final Selection, which was not much different from the past, still surviving on Fujikasane Mountain for seven days.
However, such a simple goal would still eliminate 90% of the people present. Those confident teenagers would eventually die in this mountain full of purple flowers.
As soon as the explanation ended, someone couldn't wait to rush into the small road without Wisteria flowers. In Chu Yang's eyes, they were no different from dead people. One by one, confident teenagers walked into this mountain full of evil demons.
After a while, only Chu Yang and the girl wearing the fox mask were left on the platform. Chu Yang glanced at her, then walked slowly into the small road that seemed to eat people.
And the girl on the other side also followed Chu Yang slowly.
Chu Yang didn't know that the girl followed him entirely because she was curious about the huge horse-slaying sword behind him.
The trial started in the evening.
After everyone went in, the sky darkened bit by bit, which happened to be the time when demons could be active.
Chu Yang walked in the forest for a while, didn't meet any demons, but became more and more irritable because there was a little follower behind his butt.
"Hey, that's enough, how long are you going to follow?" Chu Yang turned his head and said impatiently to the girl.
The girl wearing the fox mask stopped immediately and replied weakly, "Sorry."
Chu Yang sighed helplessly, "Why are you following me?"
The girl said embarrassedly, "I have never seen such a big sword, so I was fascinated by it all of a sudden."
After listening to the girl's reason, Chu Yang felt speechless. If it weren't for the fact that this girl obviously had no malice, he would have done it long ago.
