Urokodaki Sakonji suppressed his grief, stared at Chen Anxia, ​​and said in a low voice, "Please tell me the real cause of Sabito and Makomo's deaths."

Chen Anxia did not hesitate and said directly, "47 years ago you captured a ghost and sealed it in the prison of Tengxi Mountain."

"This ghost was very lucky. It survived in the Tengxi Mountain for 47 years and evolved into a strange ghost with many wrists wrapped around its body by constantly preying on the ghost hunter candidates who participated in the final selection."

"Because of you, the Hand Demon hates anyone associated with you, including your disciple."

"Your disciples are easily identifiable, for they all wear fox masks to ward off misfortune..."

Upon hearing this, Urokodaki Sakonji realized what was happening, his body trembled uncontrollably, and a heart-wrenching pain welled up inside him.

Chen Anxia noticed Urokodaki Sakonji's unusual behavior, but did not stop.

Although this fact is too cruel for Urokodaki Sakonji, it is the truth that Urokodaki Sakonji should know.

"Both Sabito and Makomo encountered the Hand Demon when they participated in the final Demon Slayer test."

"In this battle, Makomo initially held the upper hand against the Hand Demon, but the Hand Demon suddenly used a trick, revealing that he had already devoured several of your disciples."

"Because Makomo could not accept this sad fact, her movements became sluggish, and as a result, the Hand Demon took the opportunity to tear off her limbs and eventually ate her."

As Chen Anxia spoke, a scene flashed through Urokodaki Sakonji's mind: the adorable little girl Makomo was brutally murdered with her limbs torn off.

Urokodaki Sakonji could hardly imagine the extent of Makomo's suffering before her death.

But Urokodaki Sakonji knew that he was the source of all this.

This caused Urokodaki Sakonji to be unable to contain his grief, and tears streamed down his face.

If he could, Urokodaki Sakonji would have loved to replace Makomo, the daughter who loved him the most and whom he loved the most.

Chen Anxia continued, saying, "Sakurato tirelessly traveled through the mountains to rescue other demon hunter candidates who had been injured by demons, and almost single-handedly wiped out all the demons in the entire Fujikashi Mountain."

"For this reason, Sabito was already exhausted in the final stage of the selection, and even his Nichirin Blade was severely worn."

"It was at this time that Sabito encountered the Hand Demon."

"In the end, Sabito, exhausted, was no match for the Hand Demon. Not only was his head smashed by the Hand Demon, but he was also swallowed by the Hand Demon. Even Sabito's Nichirin Blade followed its master and became a broken blade without a master."

"However, although Sabito perished at the hands of the Hand Demon, thanks to his efforts, no one else died in that year's selection..."

After learning the true cause of Sabito and Makomo's deaths, Urokodaki Sakonji was not only filled with remorse, but also overwhelmed with grief.

Visibly, Urokodaki Sakonji's originally aged yet sturdy body suddenly became even more listless, like a flickering candle that might be extinguished at any moment.

But after the great tragedy, Urokodaki Sakonji seemed to have a sudden burst of energy, his previously listless aura suddenly soared, and even the killing intent he had been trying so hard to conceal surged wildly.

At this moment, in the eyes of Chen Anxia and Kyoko Tsugikuni, the killing intent and aura surrounding Urokodaki Sakonji seemed to materialize and soar into the sky.

At that moment, all the reptiles, fish, birds, and beasts in the Misty Mountain seemed to sense the danger and, as if frightened, fled frantically.

Suddenly, the once tranquil Misty Mountain became chaotic and turbulent.

......

Under the palpable killing intent emanating from Urokodaki Sakonji, Kyoko Tsugikuni, sensing an immense crisis, began to uncontrollably transform into a demon.

Chen Anxia sensed the change in Kyoko Tsugikuni and couldn't help but call out again, "Kyoko, calm down."

But this time, Urokodaki Sakonji's undisguised killing intent was so terrifying that Tsugikuni Kyoko couldn't listen to Chen Anxia's words at all.

Not only Kyoko Tsugikuni, but also Miyo Inui, who was sleeping soundly in Kyoko Tsugikuni's arms, seemed to sense something. Her little brows furrowed and her eyelids twitched, as if she was about to wake up.

Seeing this, Chen Anxia did not hesitate. He flashed behind Jiguo Jingzi, knocked her unconscious with a palm strike, and carefully helped her to a nearby tree to settle her down.

Then, Chen Anxia turned his gaze to Urokodaki Sakonji, his face solemn, and said softly, "Mr. Urokodaki, calm down, I have already killed the Hand Demon!"

But Urokodaki Sakonji seemed to have sunk into his own world, as if he were seeing his disciple, whom he regarded as his own son, die tragically at the hands of the Hand Demon.

These scenes drove Urokodaki Sakonji to a state of madness, his eyes bloodshot, his body seemingly enveloped in a tangible crimson aura, and he roared, "I want you dead! Kill! Kill! Kill..."

With each utterance of the word 'kill' by Urokodaki Sakonji, his killing intent, which should have reached its peak, intensified even further.

Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia's expression changed drastically. Without any further hesitation, he flashed forward, intending to seize the two Nichirin Blades from Urokodaki Sakonji's hands in order to reduce Urokodaki Sakonji's strength.

Chen Anxia obtained the complete Nichirin Blade belonging to Makomo without any problems.

Just as Chen Anxia was about to reach for the broken blade belonging to Sabito in Urokodaki Sakonji's right hand, a sudden change occurred.

"Water Breathing - First Form - Water Surface Slash!"

With a furious shout from Urokodaki Sakonji, he wielded a broken blade and swiftly swung it at Chen Anxia in front of him, launching a straight slash from the plane.

Through the transparent world, Chen Anxia could clearly see the azure sword energy rising from the broken blade, flowing like water.

It was this azure sword energy, flowing like water, that gave Chen Anxia a great sense of crisis.

However, under the super-sensory vision of the transparent world, Urokodaki Sakonji's slash, which should have been incredibly swift, flashed through Chen Anxia's eyes frame by frame, as if it had been slowed down.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia shifted his feet to the side, directly dodging Urokodaki Sakonji's water-surface slash.

However, Chen Anxia dared not be careless in the slightest, because he knew that if he could not awaken Urokodaki Sakonji, who had fallen into a state of madness, then this water surface slash was just the beginning.

As expected, after his first attack missed, Urokodaki Sakonji's second attack followed.

Urokodaki Sakonji took a deep breath at a peculiar frequency, and then a white stream of energy, almost tangible, rushed into his mouth, causing his body to swell slightly.

The next moment, Urokodaki Sakonji's figure moved at high speed like flowing water, leaving several afterimages in his wake.

During the high-speed movement, the broken blade in Urokodaki Sakonji's hand, imbued with water-flowing sword energy, meandered and danced in the void, forming a long, winding river.

Because of its rapid flow and meandering course, it is impossible to discern its trajectory.

However, under Chen Anxia's all-seeing, super-sensory vision, its trajectory was clearly visible.

At the same time, Chen Anxia also knew that this move should be Water Breathing, Third Form - Flowing Dance.

Perhaps knowing that this battle was inevitable, Chen Anxia's blood began to boil.

Although this battle would be dangerous, Chen Anxia did need to fight a strong opponent like Urokodaki Sakonji to assess his current level of strength.

After deciding to fight, Chen Anxia stopped dodging and instead held the Nichirin Blade belonging to Makomo, assuming a starting stance for drawing and slashing.

The next moment, without Chen Anxia making any slashing motion, the sounds of flowing water and clashing metal could be heard continuously in the void.

Amidst the sounds of flowing water and clashing metal, Chen Anxia seemed to be under immense pressure, his figure constantly retreating, while the previously invisible slashes gradually became clearer.

Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia's expression became very solemn.

Chen Anxia knew very well that this was a manifestation of his swift and powerful movements being no match for the flowing and dancing movements.

Chen Anxia also knew that if he continued to use his Swift as the Wind technique, his defense would soon be broken by Urokodaki Sakonji's flowing dance.

Not only that, his old Nichirin Blade, which was not enveloped in sword energy, would also break due to being unable to withstand Urokodaki Sakonji's attacks.

However, Chen Anxia's state of mind did not change as a result.

Since its swiftness is no match for the flowing movement, let's try a different move.

Given Chen Anxia's martial arts background, he has far too many moves to choose from under these circumstances.

Among all these moves, there are two that are the best choices.

One is as immovable as a mountain, the other is as still as a forest.

The essence of "immovable as a mountain" is that Chen Anxia completely abandons offense and focuses solely on defense, thus making his defense as solid as a mountain, unshakable in the face of any attack.

However, the Nichirin Blade in Chen Anxia's hands is now somewhat overburdened.

In this situation, remaining completely still is feasible, but it is not the truly optimal choice.

Without a doubt, the true optimal choice is Xu Rulin.

Xu Rulin's move is a technique that brings Chen Anxia's dynamic vision, insight, and supercomputing ability to the extreme.

Simply put, it involves capturing data on the opponent's attacks through dynamic vision and insight, and then using supercomputing capabilities to create a data model in the mind.

Then, based on the constructed data model, the optimal solution to counter the opponent's attack is found.

In other words, Xu Rulin is a move that can neutralize any attack from the opponent.

Now, Chen Anxia not only possesses the Eye of Analysis (incomplete), but has also unlocked the Transparent World.

This also means that Chen Anxia's Xu Rulin technique is even more powerful than before.

A flurry of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen Anxia immediately unleashed his Xu Rulin technique.

Although Urokodaki Sakonji's attacks carried extraordinary power like the Water Flow Sword Qi, Chen Anxia had already become familiar with Urokodaki Sakonji's Water Flow Sword Qi during their previous encounters.

Therefore, once Chen Anxia unleashed his "Qi Xu Ru Lin" technique, it perfectly neutralized the "Water Breathing - Form 3 - Flowing Dance".

The battle continues...

Just as Chen Anxia and Urokodaki Sakonji were engaged in fierce combat, Kamado Tanjiro, who was attempting to split the giant rock, suddenly heard Sabito and Makomo's voices beside him.

"Tanjiro, hurry to the foot of the mountain, Urokodaki-san needs you!"

"Tanjiro, quick, go stop the teacher!"

Although Tanjiro Kamado didn't know what had happened, his expression changed, and without the slightest hesitation, he quickly ran towards the foot of the mountain.

Their destinies are about to intersect.

......

'Faster! Faster!'

Tanjiro Kamado kept urging himself on and doing his best to speed up.

Tanjiro Kamado didn't know what had happened, but he could hear the anxiety and worry in Sabito and Makomo's voices.

Their anxiety and worry stemmed from their teacher, Urokodaki Sakonji.

'Could it be that Professor Urokodaki has encountered some danger?'

The thought uncontrollably surfaced in Tanjiro Kamado's mind, causing him to feel anxious.

Because of his extraordinary sense of smell, Tanjiro Kamado was able to smell the scents of Chen Anxia, ​​Kyoko Tsugikuni, and Mio Inui as he approached the foot of the mountain.

Among them, the demonic scent emanating from Kyoko Tsugikuni made Tanjiro Kamado's already anxious heart even more uneasy.
