Chapter 139 Sun
“…I’m going to kill him…”
Seeing Yoriichi say calmly the words about taking someone's life, Kokushibo's face changed slightly. This was not the impression he had of Yoriichi's character.
Although they were confused, Kokushibo did not have the patience to answer them at the moment. The red flames burning on his body illuminated the faces of the two brothers.
"…You should know why I pulled you back from the underworld…"
He raised his arm and swung the Xuku Divine Song in his hand, and a cold light flashed across Yuanyi's eyes that were filled with murderous intent.
"...Fight me...to the death..."
Looking at Kokushibo who was standing with a knife in his hand, his figure was as black as a charred corpse, the figure that was extremely terrifying in the eyes of others was not so in the eyes of Yoshiichi.
The murderous intent in his eyes temporarily faded, revealing a trace of sadness and emotion.
"Brother has changed a lot since before."
Then he quickly retracted his gaze, with murderous intent and determination again in his eyes. He raised the [Open Door] in his hand, looked at the black blade, feeling the power contained in it, with a complicated expression.
"It's just... I'm sorry, but I can't obey your order... Killing that man with this knife... is what I want to do after my resurrection..."
Look straight ahead with a firm gaze.
"You only have one life... and that's enough..."
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Kokushibo who was frowning beside him, then lowered his head to look at the herbalist evil ghost whose body was disappearing on the ground, and said in a deep voice with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"After killing that man, I will go find Muzan... destroy him, and then... use this knife to kill myself."
Hearing this, Kokushibo frowned and looked gloomy. He looked at Yoriichi, clenched the Hollow God in his hand, took a step forward with his right foot, and hummed softly.
"Yeah…"
Then he shouted sternly!
"But...can you leave me first?"
Wow!
The moonlight and the scarlet flames attached to the Void God, and with Kokushibo's quick swing, they slashed towards Yuanyi one after another!
boom!
The next moment, Kokushibo's pupils shrank, and the slash actually pierced through Yoriichir's body and slashed the big Buddha behind him!
It's a phantom! So fast!
He realized the truth instantly and was about to look for Yoshiichirō's figure, but the already dilapidated Buddha was hit so hard that it could not bear the weight and collapsed to the ground in pieces, splashing large amounts of dust and blocking Kokushibo's sight.
"Ugh…"
At this moment, a sigh sounded from behind Koroshibo. Turning around, he saw Yoshiichirō's bright red figure standing at the door, and a beam of light shot in from the door, forming a white light path in the dust.
At this time, Yoshiichirō turned around and looked at Kokushibo, and they looked at each other in silence. However, there was no need to say more. He raised his leg, stepped into the light path, and walked out of the house.
"Don't even think about leaving!"
Seeing that Yoshiichi was about to leave, knowing that it would be difficult to meet him again after he left, Kokushibo let out a loud roar, then took a step and his figure suddenly flashed several meters, ready to rush into the light path.
It's sizzling!
The outstretched hand was burned the moment it met the light path, and the whole person made a sizzling sound as if he was thrown into a frying pan. The skin turned to ashes in an instant, and the flesh and blood disappeared under the sunlight.
Before his eyes were burned blind, the last thing Kokushibo saw was the blue sky and white clouds.
Did the sun come out? When? It should be when Yuichi is resurrected...
Finally, before the bones disappeared, Kokushibo retracted his momentum, retreated violently into the darkness, knelt on the ground, and waited quietly for his injuries to heal and the arrival of night.
Yunyi... I have a feeling... we will meet again...
………………
Not long ago, after dinner, everyone explained to the old man that Kokushibo had taken away [Opening the Door], as well as its abilities and what Kokushibo would do next.
After hearing about the magical power that can resurrect the dead, the old man was shocked at first, but after seeing the wolf's calm expression, he was relieved and held his chin in thought.
"Yuichi...Yuichi...I don't have much impression of him, but there are many records about the Demon Slayer Corps in the library of the Priest Clan. You can look for them there."
Hearing the old man's words, the wolf respectfully bowed to him in thanks and said seriously.
"Thank you."
The old man just smiled indifferently.
"It doesn't matter. I don't like reading those old stories about the Demon Slayer Corps anyway."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the house, waving his hand with his back to everyone and speaking in a relaxed manner.
"Come on, there is strength in numbers."
Without much hesitation, Wolf took the lead and followed the old man closely, while everyone looked at Tianyin first, and after the other party chuckled and nodded in agreement, they quickly followed.
In the restaurant, an owl with a bandage around its neck hopped in. He looked at the food the three children had left for him and began to eat happily, making cooing sounds from time to time.
The rain outside continued to fall. Even though everyone was holding umbrellas, many raindrops still hit them, soaking their clothes.
Not long after they walked out of the mansion and arrived at the yard, the old man left the team, handed the umbrella to Wolf, and stood alone in front of the rockery, putting his palms on it and began to tinker with it.
As everyone stared in confusion, a mechanical sound was heard and the rockery was dragged back two meters. On the original spot, a tunnel that was obviously dug by humans appeared in front of everyone.
The moment the mechanism was activated, the candlelight in the tunnel lit up automatically, and everyone except Tianyin and Lang exclaimed in surprise.
Then they all looked at Busui River, whose face was slightly red. When he was about to get angry, he walked into the secret passage under the guidance of the old man, and smelled the slightly turbid air in the tunnel.
The enthusiasm of the young men faded away and they followed the old man silently. However, the secret road was too long to go and Wuyilang, who could not bear the boredom any longer, tugged at the hem of Tianyin's clothes and asked him curiously.
"Sister Tianyin, where does the secret passage here lead to?"
Tianyin gently touched Wuichiro's head, smiled slightly, looked at the secret passage that stretched endlessly into the distance, and explained to Wuichiro.
"It leads to the bottom of the lake. The library of the priest family is hidden there."
Hearing Tianyin's words, the curious people present all exclaimed softly, and having learned from the previous experience, Busei-kawa sneered, attracting everyone's attention.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the veins on Busei's face showed, and he yelled at everyone with a red face and some anger.
"Why are you still looking at me!"
As they talked and laughed all the way, the team soon arrived at the end of the secret passage. A stone gate blocked everyone's way. The old man stepped forward again, took the key from his neck, and inserted it into the lock of the gate.
The mechanism sounded again, and the heavy stone door slowly opened, revealing a dazzling array of old bookshelves.
There were countless books placed on it, which made everyone feel overwhelmed. They walked into the library first. The old man raised his hand and pointed to an area, and spoke to the people who were still outside the stone gate.
"It may be on the bookshelf in that section. Don't be so sad. Come in and look for it."
