Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

As Fengyu practiced more and more, he finally mastered the Water Breathing: Eleventh Form.

"Finally... I've truly mastered this move…"

Fengyu sighed with relief. Over the past few days, he had been practicing the Water Breathing techniques like mad, nearly reaching a state of obsession.

But hard work pays off, and today, he had fully grasped it.

"Lord Fengyu, Lord Fengyu!"

As Fengyu was wiping his Nichirin Sword , he looked up.

It was Xiao Hei, whom he hadn't seen for days.

"Northwest, northwest, Lord Fengyu, there are signs of a demon nearby. Please head there quickly and eliminate the evil spirit!"

Xiao Hei spoke respectfully.

Both Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai had increased their spiritual wisdom thanks to their mastery of the Demon Beast Breathing techniques. Their intelligence was growing more each day.

Xiao Hei had completely fallen under Xiao Bai's command, becoming its loyal underling.

Fengyu had also learned a bit about the Crow Raven species, understanding that they had their own social circles and often gathered together to gossip about their followers.

However, because of Fengyu, Xiao Hei had gained quite a few admirers from the female Crow Ravens of its group, living a rather delightful life.

"Well then, let's leave tonight after it gets dark..."

Fengyu said meaningfully to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei shuddered slightly, immediately understanding what needed to be done.

As nightfall approached, Fengyu bid farewell to everyone in the Butterfly Mansion Sect and set off on his demon-slaying journey.

"Lord Fengyu, please return safely!"

"May your martial skills flourish!"

The three little ones in the temple wiped their tears, unsure whether they were bidding farewell to Xiao Bai or to Fengyu.

But Fengyu knew that, during this time, Xiao Bai had become the beloved of everyone in the Butterfly Mansion Sect.

Each person couldn't bear to part with it.

"Xiao Bai, you've gotten fatter…"

Fengyu stood on Xiao Hei's back, commenting on the extra flesh Xiao Bai had gained.

"Ying ying, Xiao Bai isn't fat! Master is naughty!"

Xiao Bai's voice echoed in Fengyu's mind, refuting the claim that it had gained weight.

Feeling the wind on his face, Fengyu couldn't help but mutter, "It's really much more comfortable being alone…"

Soon, the Butterfly Mansion Sect was out of sight, and Fengyu decided to take a nice nap on Xiao Hei's back.

Due to their mastery of the Breathing Techniques and consuming numerous Marrow Essence Pills, Xiao Hei had grown into a massive size, like a small mountain.

The howling wind rushed by, its powerful force causing the trees to sway.

"I will become stronger and stronger..."

Fengyu lay on Xiao Hei's back, tightly hugging Xiao Bai, and drifted into sleep.

The sun soon rose the next day.

Fengyu woke up from his nap on Xiao Hei's back, stretched lazily, and said:

"Good morning, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei."

"Good morning, Lord Fengyu."

"Master, good morning."

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai both greeted him.

"Another sunny day..."

Fengyu sighed contentedly.

"This weather is really comfortable..."

Fengyu sighed again.

"We've arrived, we've arrived, Lord Fengyu!"

Xiao Hei hurriedly called out.

"Alright, Xiao Hei, we'll get off here."

Fengyu jumped down, holding Xiao Bai, as Xiao Hei's massive form began to shrink.

"Let's go. Since it's still early, we can catch breakfast…"

"A good day starts with a good breakfast. Without it, where's the energy to work for the rest of the day?"

Fengyu said enthusiastically as they entered the small town.

The streets of the town were full of merchants calling out to potential customers.

Fengyu selected some food that looked appetizing and shared it with Xiao Hei.

Then he started asking around about the happenings in the town.

But something strange occurred.

"Storekeeper, has anyone gone missing in your town recently?"

Fengyu asked.

"Missing? No, no one's gone missing in our town."

The storekeeper replied without hesitation.

Finding no useful answers, Fengyu wandered around, hoping to find a clue.

However, to his disappointment, everyone in the town claimed that there had been no disappearances.

"What's going on here…" Fengyu pondered.

"According to Xiao Hei's information, there shouldn't be any mistakes…"

"And the Demon Slayer Corps only receives reports from locals about demons, but now I've asked almost everyone in town and nobody's heard of any missing persons... this is a bit strange…"

Looking at the smiling faces of the townspeople, Fengyu decided to wait and observe. He would see if any demons appeared when night fell.

He then checked into the best inn in town.

"People… they just can't enjoy the good things. Once they've had it once, they can't go back to the old conditions."

Fengyu remarked while soaking in the hot spring.

Meanwhile, Xiao Bai, having frequented the hot springs, had learned to swim.

"Xiao Bai… you've changed. You're no longer the little crybaby in the snow."

Fengyu observed as Xiao Bai splashed around in the water.

As for Xiao Hei, it had it rough.

It had never bathed in a hot spring, staying in the room to rest its eyes.

But it wasn't because Fengyu didn't allow it—after a full night of being the travel companion, Xiao Hei was exhausted and had no energy to play around like Xiao Bai.

Of course, it was mainly because Xiao Hei was afraid of water.

After what seemed like hours, Fengyu noticed his skin had wrinkled from the water, so he reluctantly got up. After all, hot springs were quite addictive.

Night soon fell.

Fengyu, prepared to slay the demon, decided to take a walk around the street.

Perhaps he might be lucky and encounter one of the demons.

Time passed slowly.

No sign of demons, but he did run into a drunk man.

The man, flushed with alcohol, reeked of liquor.

As Fengyu passed, the man collided with him.

"Hey, kid, aren't you watching where you're going? Apologize to me!"

The man slurred, clearly intoxicated.

"Crazy idiot!"

Fengyu didn't want to waste time on him, as his main goal was to find and kill the demon. Completing that task would unlock the system's functions, and his strength would increase dramatically.

The man, seeing that Fengyu ignored him, grew angrier and attempted to grab him, still shouting:

"You pretty boy, stand still!"

But with a swift sidestep, Fengyu avoided the man, who fell to the ground with a thud.

"Snore snore."

Fengyu was surprised to find that the man had passed out on the ground.

"How unlucky..."

Bending down to check the man, Fengyu had a sudden idea.

He smiled and said, "This isn't my fault..."

Xiao Bai: "Master, your smile is so scary..."

Fengyu quickly stripped the man of his clothes, leaving only his underwear.

"This guy's got quite a bit of money…"

Looking at the thick wad of cash in his hands, Fengyu decided to hold onto it for the man.

After all, if someone else found him lying there on the ground, the money would surely be stolen.

So, he was just helping him.

Yes, helping him!

Fengyu thought to himself with a grin, then left the scene, feeling pleased.

But not long after Fengyu left, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared from the darkness.

The drunk man slowly disappeared from sight…
