Chapter 211 Can’t Beat Myself

In a daze, Hei Shimo recalled what happened a long, long time ago.

That happened about sixty years after he became a ghost, gave up his name, gave up his human identity, and betrayed the Demon Slayer Squad.

Hei Shimo remembered that it was a night like tonight, when the moon looked like it was dyed red with blood.

At that time, when he happened to pass by a seven-story pagoda in the suburbs, he witnessed something incredible.

He saw a person.

An old man who is over 80 years old, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face.

The old man was wearing a kimono that was very familiar to Hei Diemo and carried a sword. Although his hair was gray and his face was wrinkled, Hei Diemo still recognized the other person's identity immediately.

That was his younger brother——Ji Guoyuanyi.

After about sixty years, Hei Shimo once again saw his younger brother, the Sun Swordsman who made him jealous, disgusted and unforgettable in his life.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

Because all people with stripes should die before the age of 25.

Hei Shimo always thought that the brother pressing on him was already dead.

However, not only did the other party not die, he also lived until he was over 80 years old, which is simply unbelievable.

But when Hei Shimo was still doubting his eyes, his younger brother, who had become a gray-haired old man, shed tears.

"How sad...brother..."

The younger brother who said these words with tears in his eyes took up his stance in an instant.

Not only did that posture reveal no flaws, but the pressure it exuded was so strong that it almost made Hei Simou feel unable to breathe.

Then, in a moment that couldn't even be called a blink, my brother moved.

At that moment, Hei Shimo didn't understand what happened.

At that moment, Hei Shimo didn't even feel pain.

It was obvious that his transparent world had been open, and he had become a ghost, becoming far more powerful than before, but he just lost track of his brother and made him disappear before his eyes.

When Hei Shimo came back to his senses, he realized that his brother had completed the last slash in his life and landed behind him.

As for himself, there was already a stab wound on his neck, and he almost had his head cut off and died on the spot.

At that moment, Hei Shimo had to admit that he was trembling and scared.

Sixty years later, his now gray-haired brother was still able to wield a sword with the same power and speed as in his heyday, leaving him with no time to react. It was impossible not to feel terrified by that feeling.

That night, he almost died at the hands of his brother, whom he had hated all his life.

The younger brother stood still. After swinging the knife, his energy was exhausted and he died on the spot.

His death allowed Hei Shimo to save his life.

His death also gave Hei Shimo a defeat that could never be undone in his life.

He used his own life to tell Hei Shimo that even if he turned into a ghost and became much stronger than before, he would not be able to stop even his old sword.

Humiliation...reluctance...anger...all kinds of emotions surged into Hei Shimo's heart that night, making him unable to forget the name "Jiguoyuanyi" forever and ever.

Therefore, Heishimou swore that he would never lose to anyone other than Yuanyi in this life, and assisted Onimu Tsuji Mukai to eliminate all those who knew the breathing method of the sun.

Now, hundreds of years have passed. Hei Shimo always thought that he had forgotten the past and no longer felt humiliated by that unbearable past. It was only now that he discovered that he had never felt this matter. Relieve.

The name "Jiguoyuanyi" really brought him too much jealousy, too much disgust, too much unwillingness, and too many memories...

Under such circumstances, when Li Ge appeared with the name "Ji Guoyuan Yi", Hei Shimo lost all rationality and calmness, and there was only one thought left in his heart.

That is to defeat him, defeat the man with the name "Jiguo Yuanyi".

Whether this is to prove that he has surpassed him, or for something else, I'm afraid, even Hei Simo himself doesn't know.

Hei Shimo only knows one thing.

That is, even if hundreds of years pass, I still have to live in that person's shadow.

He once again lost to "Ji Guoyuan Yi".

Still a knife.

With one strike, he was defeated.

The defeat was embarrassing and complete.

"Are you satisfied?"

At this time, Li Ge's voice slowly reached Hei Shimo's ears.

Hei Shimo was silent for a long time, and then he spoke hoarsely.

"Why...I just...can't beat you..."

With these words behind him, Hei Shimo's head slipped from his neck and fell to the ground.

His body was also cut off at the waist, half falling on the ground, and half falling on the moon wall, facing the lonely, lonely full moon, gradually losing its breath.

Li Ge then turned around and looked at the black dead body that was gradually turning into ashes. The sun mural behind him was still dazzling.

"It's not like you can't win Jiguoyuanyi."

Li Ge spoke as if talking to himself.

"You just can't beat yourself."

After saying that, Li Ge turned around and planned to leave.

"etc!"

Suddenly, a voice stopped him.

"Why are you here?"

Li Ge stopped, turned around and looked around, then showed a surprised expression.

I saw, in the corner of the ruined palace, two figures appeared in front of Li Ge as if they appeared out of thin air.

This way of appearance was something Li Ge had only seen once near the Demon Slayer Headquarters two months ago.

These two people were clearly Tamashi and Yushiro.

"We used vampire magic to sneak in." Zhu Shi answered Li Ge's question while looking at Hei Shimo who gradually turned into fly ashes and disappeared. He said with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect that even the one on the string Hei Shimo is no match for you, you are far more powerful than I thought."

Zhu Shi naturally knew Hei Shimo.

After all, Tamashi is also a demon who has survived from the Warring States Period to the present. He has seen Enichi Tsukuni and the tragic situation of Onibatsuji Mukai. Naturally, he has also seen this brother of Enichi Enichi, the successor who once betrayed the Demon Slayer Corps. Guoyan wins.

Thanks to this, she knew very well how strong Hei Shimo was.

The ghosts of the upper string are all very strong, and they are not on the same level as the other ghosts. Even the lower string of the twelve ghost moons with them is nothing more than an ant in front of them.

Pillar is also no match for the Demon Slayer. So far, all the pillars who have died heroically in the Demon Slayer Corps have basically been hunted by the Demon Slayer.

However, even such a winded ghost is just a weakling in front of Hei Shimo.

The ghosts of the upper string and the ghosts of the lower string are not on the same level, and Hei Shimo and the other ghosts of the upper string are not on the same level.

Zhu Shi had always thought that the only one who could defeat Heishimou was Onimu Tsuji Mukai. Even Lige would not be able to defeat Heishimou easily.

Who would have thought that Li Ge gave her a big surprise.

He proved with his strength that even one of the top strings, second only to Oniwu Tsuji Mukai, could not stop his sword.

"Are you looking for the Amyrlin Seat?" Zhu Shi looked at Li Ge and said, "I'll show you the way."

"Oh?" Li Ge raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know where the Amyrlin Seat is?"

Zhu Shi only answered one sentence to Li Ge's question.

"I haven't lived for hundreds of years in vain."

In the past few hundred years, in addition to researching medicines that can deal with Onimbutsuji Muzan and medicine that can turn ghosts into humans, Tamashi has also been investigating Onimutsuji Muzan and trying every means to obtain information related to him. .

Her blood ghost technique is activated by injuring her own body. It allows the opponent to smell her own blood and be confused by hallucinations. It is very useful in terms of extracting intelligence and investigating intelligence.

Yushiro, who has been following Tamasai, possesses the vampire technique related to vision. He can block the sight of others or make people see things that are usually invisible, creating visual illusions. This ability also affects what Tamayo is doing. Things are helpful.

Therefore, Tamashii and Yushiro were able to sneak into Infinite City and figure out the topography of Infinite City.

"Come with me."

Zhu Shi closed her eyes and murmured suppressing some emotion.

"Let it end tonight."

Zhu Shi felt that this might be the mission of his survival to this day.

Li Ge looked at Zhu Shi like this and nodded after a while.

The group of three people immediately left here and headed towards where Oniwu Tsuji Muzan was.

…………

At the same time, the bird conveyed what had just happened.

"Headmaster Jiguoyuanyi has defeated the first stringer! Chief Teacher Jiguoyuanyi has defeated the first stringer!"

"Shangxian One's crusade was successful!"

"Casualties: Zero!"

When this news reached the ears of everyone in the Demon Slayer Team, everyone immediately became excited.

"good!"

"Defeat Shangxian One!"

"Long live the Chief Instructor!"

The members of the Demon Slayer Squad were all cheering.

"How, how is it possible...!?"

The ghosts couldn't believe their ears at all, including the upper stringers who were currently fighting.

"Hei Shimo was actually defeated?"

"So fast……?"

"No! Impossible!"

"How could that Black Death Mou be defeated so easily...!?"

No one is not shocked, and no one dares to believe it.

In particular, Gotake, who was fighting against Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke, was even more unwilling to accept this fact.

"How could he lose? How could he lose to a human?"

Zhuo Yue felt that the faith in his heart was shattered.

The reason why he became a ghost is because he met Hei Death Mou and was almost killed by Hei Death Mou. He got a chance to live by kneeling down and begging for mercy. And because he longed for the power of Hei Death Mou, he finally chose to drink it. Onibutsuji Muzan's blood.

He knew very well how terrifying and powerful Black Death Mou was.

Now, he actually lost?

This is impossible!

"nothing is impossible."

Zenitsu stood up unsteadily and shouted to Yue Yue.

"How can you imagine how powerful the chief instructor is?"

"How does it feel?"

"The human being you look down on is about to chop off the head of Muzan Kibutsuji!"

Zenitsu's shout made Yu Yue feel panic for no reason.

Could it be...are we really going to lose?
