Though none of those ghosts had been his match, chopping them for so long still wore him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever. If I save her, it’s fate; if not, it’s her destiny.” He slung the great cleaver back onto his shoulders, glanced at the group of trembling young swordsmen too terrified to stand, then turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought even if they survived Tengxi Mountain, many of them would abandon their dream of joining the Demon Slayer Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly six hours had passed since nightfall; at most another hour or two, dawn would break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of killing and blood clinging to Chu Yang was so thick it seemed ready to pierce the clouds; not a single demon or monster dared approach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Chu Yang was about to give up searching for Mako, his nose caught an overpowering stench—worse than the boy ghost he’d encountered at the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Te Kui!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinct told Chu Yang this was Te Kui’s scent; he immediately moved toward its source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The further he went, the more he saw shattered tree trunks and cracked earth—clearly a battlefield, where the combatants had been steadily retreating deeper into the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang pressed forward…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve devoured twelve disciples of Rinjyo.

Otherwise, I might never have recognized your identities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi think those masks ward off misfortune? Hah! What’s the difference between that and Rinjyo himself killing Itachi? How ironic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mako trembled violently; every word from Te Kui pierced her heart like a needle, especially hearing the full account of Sento’s death—her mind began to unravel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up! That’s not true! Master Rinjyo gave us the protective masks so we could return home safely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t allow Itachi to slander Master Rinjyo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears glistened at the corners of Mako’s eyes as she let out a furious roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing her composure, her breathing grew chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once famed for her agility, her speed slowed—her advantage vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart was in disarray; her movements became grotesquely distorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cunning Te Kui seized the moment, launching a lethal strike at the bewildered girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arms wrapped around its head burst open, lashing toward Mako—each limb possessed tremendous strength, which was why it was called Te Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mako reacted too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struggled to escape the encircling arms, but her feet were snatched by Te Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I said I’d kill every last disciple of Rinjyo—Itachi’re no exception!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Te Kui tightened its grip, and Mako screamed in agony—her legs felt like they were clamped in a tiger’s jaws, nearly torn apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die, brat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had Te Kui spoken than a whistling sound pierced the air—something heavy hurtling toward it at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the thought formed, Te Kui froze in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a grotesquely large cleaver flew past its face, spraying a spray of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The limbs entwined around Mako were severed simultaneously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaaaah!!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbearable agony sent Te Kui into a frenzy; it spun wildly, roaring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?! Who the hell is that?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s terrifying.” Chu Yang leapt from the shadows, landing beside the cleaver, then kicked away the severed limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slung the cleaver over his shoulder and grinned: “Itachi look disgusting. Let me fix Itachi up—make Itachi less ugly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mocking Te Kui, Chu Yang glanced at Mako lying on the ground—the girl was unconscious, yet her face still twisted in involuntary pain; clearly, she’d been injured when Te Kui gripped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang sighed: “A bit late, but at least she’s still alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t talk big—Itachi two are both dead!” In just that moment, Te Kui’s severed limbs had mostly regrown; it roared as it charged Chu Yang, its massive frame like a tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud-thud-thud~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang gripped the cleaver with both hands; his blood, stirred by his breathing, grew scalding hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it surged through his body, streams of white qi erupted from his nose and mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stomped hard—the ground cracked—and launched forward like a cannonball, slamming shoulder-first into Te Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Te Kui, moments ago roaring with fury, lost its balance entirely, toppling backward, its entire body exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before its limbs could even raise to defend, its head was cleanly severed by Chu Yang’s cleaver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying head stared fixedly at Chu Yang, eyes wide with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As life plunged into darkness, Te Kui’s voice dripped with regret and fury: “Impossible… humans can’t possess such power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had believed its body was as hard as steel—yet before Chu Yang, it was as fragile as paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew.” Chu Yang wiped sweat from his brow; after a night’s work, he finally felt like he’d warmed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After slaying Te Kui, Chu Yang picked up the unconscious Mako. As he prepared to leave, he sensed something watching him from the unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably the deceased disciples of Rinjyo…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad Chu Yang hadn’t arrived years earlier—he could’ve saved more young lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang carried Mako through Tengxi Mountain, using Kenbunshoku to locate two ghosts that had devoured many of their own kind, then killed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though weaker than Te Kui, they still exceeded the capability of new recruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next seven days, Chu Yang continued slaughtering ghosts that had grown strong enough to threaten others; the stench of blood on Tengxi Mountain grew thicker than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1074,"2026-06-20T16:23:12.107Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a7a85b8be4e44d2461886bcebe29f4c120b53a17ef6d8e8fd52273acd5c65f29","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-chapter-63","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-chapter-61",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-cover.jpg"]
