Chapter 136 Cutting off the Immortal
Boom!
A bolt of thunder streaked across the sky, and a few seconds later a huge rumble of thunder sounded.
The wolf lying on the made bed was suddenly awakened, he straightened up and looked around, when he found that he had returned to the mansion, his tense body relaxed, but the wolf's face was still gloomy.
Wuichiro, who was dozing off nearby, suddenly saw the wolf wake up. He immediately perked up and ran out the door, shouting loudly.
"Mr. Sekiro has finally woken up!"
The wolf still had a gloomy face and lowered his head to think.
dong dong dong.
The sound of footsteps was amplified several times on the wooden floor, and everyone soon appeared at the door of the wolf's room. After looking at each other, Tianyin entered the room first, and simply checked the wolf's physical condition. After confirming that everything was correct, he notified everyone to enter.
Everyone sat beside the wolf's bed and looked at the wolf with a gloomy face. Busei wanted to say something but when he opened his mouth, no sound came out.
Finally, Busei looked at Tianyin in annoyance, and the other party responded to him with a helpless look. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Wolf.
"Mr. Hirata, we know you may have many unspeakable secrets, but we still hope that you can tell us the origin of the sword that Upper String One took away..."
Tianyin looked bitter when he said this.
"After all, if the other party teaches it to Muzan..."
"Will not…"
Before Tianyin finished speaking, Wolf interrupted her with his head down and a hoarse voice. Then he pondered for a moment, raised his head and spoke to everyone.
"That sword... is the Undying Sword called [Opening]... He took that sword for his own use..."
The words reached everyone's ears. Although they had never heard of it before, after hearing the three words "Immortal Slash", a sense of uneasiness arose in their hearts.
After forcibly suppressing their uneasiness, everyone expected Wolf to continue speaking, but Wolf asked them back.
"…where is that red knife…now."
Yuichiro at the end of the crowd stood up at this time. In his hands, he was holding a large sword that was half a head taller than him. It was the Bailei that had been sheathed at some point.
After handing it back to the wolf, Ichiro spoke to the wolf as if he was telling tales, in a voice that was deliberately low but actually loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Be careful with Inosuke. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have pulled out the knife and played with it."
As expected, Inosuke's angry roar was heard behind him.
"Damn you, Koichiro! How dare you tell tales!"
As he said this, he raised his fists and was about to step forward to argue with Youzhilang, but was glared back by Tianyin. The wolf looked at Youzhilang who was laughing, and the low voice sounded again at this moment.
"Is that so... You did a great job. This sword is called [Bai Lei], and it is also... the Undead Slash."
"When the Immortal Slash is unsheathed... it will take the life of the user... you saved his life..."
After hearing what Wolf said, everyone looked at the [Bai Lei] in Wolf's hand in disbelief. Inosuke was even more frightened, secretly surprised how there could be a weapon with such a serious side effect.
After a pause, Busei looked at the wolf with surprise and curiosity.
This guy is not a liar. The user will really lose his life... But why is Hirata safe and sound...
But he did not speak out the doubts in his mind. After all, everyone has his own secrets. Instead, he asked the wolf another question.
"Weapons with such serious side effects, so what is their purpose?"
Looking at Busei's curious eyes, Wolf uttered a few characters in a low voice.
“…Cut off the immortal…”
For some reason, those four obvious words made everyone present feel an indescribable shock, but Wolf continued speaking regardless of their shock.
"That is to say... for all undead creatures, the Undead Slash is their natural enemy."
Feeling extremely shocked, Wuyilang murmured subconsciously.
"So strong..."
Then he asked the wolf curiously.
"But I heard from Sister Tianyin that the guy who stole the Undying Sword was a ghost. Then what did he do with the Undying Sword? Does he have enemies among ghosts?"
After thinking for a moment, without waiting for the wolf to answer, Busei spoke to Muichiro first.
"Impossible. He is the Upper Rank One, the number one person under the Demon King. He cannot possibly have any enemies."
Having said that, Busei looked at the wolf and continued speaking.
"Snatching the Undying Sword... means that the Undying Sword has other uses..."
Nodding without denying, Wolf looked at the [Bai Lei] in his hand and said softly.
"There are two immortal swords, [Bai Lei] and [Kai Men], the power of [Bai Lei] to cut off the immortal is far greater than [Kai Men]... and in contrast, [Kai Men] has a special ability..."
"…That is… to resurrect the deceased…"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wolf lowered his head. He deliberately concealed the function of [Bai Lei] as a ritual knife to obtain dragon tears. After all, this ability is probably useless in today's world...
But after everyone heard about the ability to [Open the Door], their brains went into chaos as if a bomb had exploded in their heads. A name just flashed through almost everyone's mind.
But in the end, he suppressed his excitement and asked the wolf first.
"What is the price..."
Raising his head, the wolf stared at Busei Kawai. From his eyes, one could see the longing for his old friend, but the wolf did not say much and answered Busei Kawai's question.
"…offer the dragon's blood, and…one life in exchange for another…"
This one sentence calmed everyone present, including Uzui on the opposite side. He still had the heavy responsibility of slaying evil spirits and could not give up his life easily.
But Tianyin asked Wolf another question at this time.
"...Will the resurrected person have any sequelae?"
Although he didn't know why the other party asked this question, the wolf thought for a moment and said it to him.
"No... The resurrected person will be resurrected in the human world in his prime and gain the power of immortality..."
Hearing the wolf's words, Tianyin suddenly became excited and asked the wolf again.
"What is Dragon's Yin?"
This time, Wolf did not answer. He frowned and looked at Tianyin. Thinking of the terrible curse of Ubuyashiki Yoya, Wolf had already guessed what the other party was thinking.
"The power of immortality is not a blessing, but the most vicious curse in the world... It will bring all kinds of misfortune to the world..."
As he spoke, the wolf stood up, put [Bai Lei] on his back, and looked at everyone with a calm look.
"And my responsibility... is to put an end to immortality."
The voice was not loud but it was powerful and shocked everyone again. Tianyin lowered her head in shame. As the mistress of the Demon Slayer Corps, she should understand this better than anyone else.
"Feel sorry…"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Youyilang also stood up and looked at the wolf.
"So, that ghost also has someone he wants to resurrect!"
Nodding, hesitating for a moment, Wolf concealed the part about his previous encounter with Kokushibo and then told everyone about the siege on him, which surprised everyone.
Tianyin immediately called the crow and told Ubuyashiki the news that Kigetsu would cause chaos in a month, then heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the wolf helplessly.
"Really? Why did Mr. Hirata hide such an important thing from us?..."
The wolf also bowed slightly to express his apology.
"…I'm sorry…I was a little dazed before because of Minako's matter."
With a faint smile, Tianyin's face regained its previous gentleness and she spoke to everyone.
"Let's go eat first. By the way, please ask Grandpa to look up the matter of Mr. Yunyi."
The three children followed Tianyin and went out first. Just when Wolf was about to go out, Busei, who had been silent for a long time, spoke softly behind him.
"Hirata... One last question, what's that strange cough..."
Hearing this, the wolf stopped, pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the other party. Under his calm expression, he hid his hatred for the undead.
"That was... the misfortune caused by my immortality..."
After saying that, he turned and left the room. Suddenly, only Busui River was left in the room. He looked at the pouring rain outside and muttered to himself.
"Even though I could vaguely guess it, I was still shocked..."
Is this why you want to die...Hirata...
