Chapter 6 Giyu Tomioka
Chapter 6 Giyu Tomioka
"Lin Bei, you!"
"You're not dead?"
Upon seeing the familiar face that suddenly appeared before him, Tanjiro's brain completely shut down.
He clearly saw Lin Bei's cold, lifeless body lying in a pool of blood, as if he were dead beyond any doubt.
Of the family, only Mi Douzi still had body temperature.
Faced with Tanjiro's question, Lin Bei simply replied:
"Dead, yet alive again."
Looking at Lin Bei, who was gripping his blade directly, Giyu Togashi frowned deeply, his expression one of unprecedented confusion.
"Who are you?"
"What are you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bei glanced at Tomioka Giyuu.
He thought to himself, "No wonder he's known as the 'Child Demon Among Men.' His way of speaking is so infuriating; anyone would want to beat him up."
So Lin Bei said irritably:
"You're the one who's the problem."
"My name is Lin Bei, and I am Tanjiro and Nezuko's family."
"With me here, you won't be able to hurt them."
Upon hearing this, Giyu Tomioka gave a disdainful smile.
"You?"
"Something that's neither human nor ghost."
"But that's just right, a ghost, a weak and incompetent piece of trash, and you, some piece of trash who doesn't even know what you are."
"Let me accompany you on your journey, so you won't be lonely on your way to the underworld."
Even though Lin Bei knew that Tomioka Giyuu was a cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside, sharp-tongued, and icy man, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of anger upon hearing this.
Look at what he said, look at his expression.
To someone who doesn't know the situation, he would definitely look like a major villain.
Sure enough, right after Giyu Tomioka finished speaking, Tanjiro could no longer contain himself and shouted loudly:
"What kind of demon hunter are you?"
"Instead of killing those evil spirits that harm people, they choose to kill us, who are also victims."
"We haven't done anything wrong, why are you treating us like this?"
"From now on, I will no longer beg for mercy."
"I will resist, I will fight."
"I will give my life to stop you from continuing to hurt my family."
After saying this, Tanjiro wiped away the tears on his face, and with an extremely resolute look in his eyes, he gripped the axe whose handle had been bitten off by Nezuko, vowing to defend his family with his own life.
Upon seeing this, Lin Bei laughed loudly.
"Hahaha--"
"Very good, this is the Tanjiro I know."
"This man is annoying, but what he just said is true."
"Pleading and weakness are useless."
"If you want to protect what's precious to you, you have to use your own strength to protect it."
"Fight!"
"Tanjiro!"
"We fought with our lives to save Midouzi."
"Let him see what the real bond between family members is."
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro's spirits lifted, and a flame seemed to ignite in his eyes.
"Lin Bei, I understand!"
"For the sake of the beans, and to avenge everyone."
"I will fight with all my might."
As he spoke, he gripped his short axe and charged toward Giyu Tomioka.
Seeing Lin Bei in front of him and Tanjiro rushing towards him, Giyu Tomioka was stunned for a moment, then a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.
"Tch, a futile struggle!"
With a flick of his left hand, he pulled the long knife from Lin Bei's hand, then raised his foot and kicked Lin Bei directly in the abdomen.
"Thump—"
This kick was both fast and powerful.
Even though Lin Bei had prepared in advance, he still couldn't avoid it.
After being kicked, Lin Bei bent over like a shrimp and crashed heavily into a tree with a dull thud.
After dealing with Lin Bei, Tanjiro just happened to arrive with an axe in hand.
Unlike his ruthless treatment of Lin Bei, Giyu Tomioka was noticeably gentler when facing Tanjiro's attack.
He twirled his long sword and slashed down at Tanjiro with the back of the blade.
"clang--"
A crisp metallic clang rang out.
Tanjiro reacted quickly, raising his axe to block the attack.
However, even though they had shown mercy, the difference in their strength was indeed too great.
With just a casual slash, Giyu Tomioka was unable to withstand Tanjiro's attack. Tanjiro was sent flying backward and collapsed unconscious in the snow.
After defeating Tanjiro in one blow, Giyu Tomioka turned to face Rinbei, who was lunging at him.
It was as if the powerful kick earlier had not caused him any harm.
The same is true.
In his state of being a living dead, Lin Bei's internal organs also underwent abnormal changes.
The powerful kick from Giyu Tomioka that could cause internal bleeding in an ordinary person only made Lin Bei feel a little uncomfortable and did not cause any real damage.
On the contrary, it was through this attack that Lin Bei fully understood the difference in strength between him and Tomioka Giyu.
If it were a normal situation, and he were a normal person, then he would have no chance of winning.
But Lin Bei is now a living dead. He has no sense of pain and is difficult to get hurt. Unless he is completely killed, he will never tire.
Therefore, he decided to make full use of his own characteristics and launch a desperate attack on Giyu Tomioka.
As a living person, Giyu Tomioka, despite his great strength, is still a mortal being who can get hurt and feel pain.
This means that Lin Bei can make countless mistakes, while Tomioka Giyuu can only make one.
This time, however, was the key to his comeback victory.
The idea was wonderful, but the reality was harsh.
Although Lin Bei's strength and speed have greatly increased after becoming a living dead.
But when facing Giyu Tomioka, he was still as slow as a tortoise crawling.
Not only did Giyu Tomioka easily dodge every single one of his attacks.
Even Giyu Tomioka had the energy to keep adding new wounds to his body.
Lin Bei was able to persevere only because he was not in pain.
However, this situation was soon broken.
Tanjiro woke up and attacked Giyu Tomioka again.
Tanjiro raised his right arm horizontally across his chest, using his wide sleeve to cover the broken axe.
The left arm hangs naturally, and the left fist is clenched.
He charged at Giyu Tomioka again, like an enraged bull.
Seeing this, Lin Bei increased his speed again, launching a fierce attack on Tomioka Giyuu.
Faced with Tanjiro and Rinbei's attacks, Giyu Tomioka remained expressionless, even appearing somewhat pitiful.
"Shall we continue?"
"A pointless struggle!?"
He immediately frowned.
Because Lin Bei is too annoying.
Although Lin Bei's attacks posed no threat to him.
However, without using breathing techniques, he could not defeat it immediately.
Lin Bei was like an unkillable cockroach; no matter how many punches and kicks he took, he could quickly regain his mobility and relentlessly launch attacks against him.
So Giyu Tomioka decided to deal with Rinho first, then properly train Tanjiro.
So, just as Lin Bei and Tanjiro rushed towards Tomioka Giyu at the same time...
Giyu Tomioka.
