Chapter 185: Hiding in the Box

Quietly watching the other person's body gradually disappear, waves of emotions rose in Yunyi's eyes. After a moment, he turned and walked out of the dust.

But before they walked out of the dust-covered area, in the transparent world, a familiar figure stood beside the weak Tanjiro.

With a frown, Yoshiichi stomped his foot, and the ground shattered. Yoshiichi rushed towards Tanjiro, and the strong wind behind him blew away the dust!

........................

He opened his eyelids weakly. Although his brain was still a little dizzy, Tanjiro could see things clearly. The first thing he did after waking up was to find Mr. Yoichiro who had just saved him to thank him.

He just looked around, but didn't see Yoriichi's figure. However, Tanjiro was sure that he must have been saved by Yoriichi. After all, the side effects of Sun Breathing can only be alleviated by people who are familiar with Sun Breathing.

Thinking of this, Tanjiro stood up and tremblingly looked for Yoriichi's figure in the moonlight.

Not long after, on an empty town path, Tanjiro saw the familiar figure standing facing the full moon. He was about to speak when a smell came into his nose.

His eyes gradually lost focus, and Tanjiro stood there in a daze, staring at the figure under the moon, whispering in his heart.

It's a ghost...

The next moment, the figure under the moon disappeared from the spot. Just as Tanjiro was searching in surprise, a big hand pressed on his shoulder.

"I never thought... that an ordinary kid like you could learn the Sun Breathing..."

The voice was deep and cold, completely different from Mr. Yunyi's!

Thinking this in his heart, Tanjiro turned his head to try to see the face of the evil spirit behind him, but the hand on his shoulder suddenly burst out with amazing force, pressing down on Tanjiro's shoulder so hard that he could not move.

What followed was a sharp pain in the shoulder, and at the same time, the voice of the evil ghost behind him sounded again.

"Little devil...Where is Tsugikoku Yoriichi..."

He grimaced in pain, but even so, Tanjiro didn't say a word.

Seeing Tanjiro being so stubborn, the evil ghost's palm burst out with amazing power again, forcing Tanjiro to half-kneel on the ground, and his knees knocked large cracks into the ground.

"explain…"

Faced with the evil spirit's cold command, Tanjiro's face turned pale, and he bit his lips and shook his head repeatedly.

"very good…"

The hand on his shoulder clenched tightly, and just as Tanjiro gritted his teeth and tensed his face to prepare for the fight, a strong wind blew over, and the ghost hand pressing on his shoulder was lifted up, and the pain gradually eased.

At the same time, Yunyi's voice sounded.

"Brother, please stop..."

Without any restraints, after hearing Mr. Yoriichi's address to the evil spirit, Tanjiro looked back in surprise. When he saw the evil spirit in a stalemate with Yoriichi behind him, his eyes were stunned.

The same reddish-brown ponytail, the same flame-shaped markings on the face, and if you look closely, the face shape is also very similar.

But... on the face of that evil ghost, three pairs of ferocious eyes were staring directly at Yunyi who was clamping his arm, and in the middle pair of eyes, the words [Upper String One] were particularly clear.

"Let go... and fight me!"

With his arm clamped, Kokushibo looked at Yoshiichirō in front of him, his eyes filled with the desire to fight. He couldn't wait to prove that he was better than his brother!

And Yunyi obediently let go of his hand, but after that he had no intention of fighting with him. He just asked the other party out of curiosity.

"Brother...how did you find me..."

In response to Yoriichirō's question, Kokushibo did not hide anything. He raised his arm, and red sparks flickered on it.

"Your target should be that ninja... and when he uses this flame... I can sense it no matter how far away he is..."

Before Kokushibo could finish his words, Yoriichi's eyes had already darkened.

If what the other party said was true, they would have been noticed by the other party when they were fighting with Muzan in the mountains...

Seeing that Yoshiichiro fell into thought, Kokushibo didn't say anything more. He just looked at Tanjiro beside him and spoke softly.

"…whatever you want to bring this brat with you…"

Then he looked straight at Yunyi.

"…I only want you to do one thing…Fight with me!"

Then, regardless of Yoshiichirō's wishes, he swung his arm and a hollow spirit emerged from his open palm, which was tightly held in Kokushibo's hand. He then swung his sword and slashed at Yoshiichirō!

clang!

Sparks flew, and Yoriichi raised [Open Door] to block the opponent's swinging blade, then pulled up Tanjiro, who was in a daze and didn't understand the situation, and ran behind him.

"Tsk..."

With a click of his tongue, Kokushibo rushed forward with a knife in hand and followed closely behind.

...I ran like this for half the night...

Finally, Yoriichi stopped on his own initiative and turned to look at Kokushibo who had also stopped behind him.

"It is not yet time to duel with my brother..."

As he spoke, he put down the dizzy Tanjiro in his hand, looked seriously at Kokushibo who had a stern expression and continued.

"I also have to rescue this kid's father, take out the hidden Muzan, and that ninja... I need him to talk."

After saying that, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face.

"...After I have dealt with all this, it will be time to duel with my brother..."

Although he clearly realized that the other party was lying, when he heard that he was ranked last, Kokushibo still felt deeply unhappy for no reason. He snorted coldly and asked Yoriichi back.

"Hmph... after you resolve all this... I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again."

Seeing that he was exposed, the unnatural look on Yunyi's face became more and more obvious, but with Tanjiro, he couldn't get rid of Kokushibo for the time being. How should he convince the other party now...

He quickly signaled to Tanjiro beside him with his eyes to think of a solution.

bass!

As time passed, Kokushibo's expression gradually became unfriendly, and the tip of a knife appeared on his palm.

At this moment, at Yoriichi's signal, Tanjiro, who had not yet recovered, was pondering the relationship between the two in confusion. He clapped his palms and said in the strange looks of the two.

"Then let's take this... Mr. Yunyi's brother with us. Even if there's sunlight during the day... we can put him in a box or something to hide, hahahaha... ha... ha..."

..............................

On the other side, in the moonlit forest, next to Xuan Mi and Zenitsu who were soundly sleeping, a wolf who was resting with his eyes closed suddenly had a light curtain in front of his eyes open, startling him.

Then, a reminder in black and white letters appeared in front of the wolf.
