Chapter 68: Switching between offense and defense
On the other side, Tanjiro and others who were on the Mugen Train finally discovered the true identity of one of the lower parts, Nightmare.
In the end, Tanjiro relied on the powerful move "Kagura, God of Fire - Biluoten" to gather all the strength of his body and cut off the train with one sword, completely defeating the nightmare.
This knife not only cut off the body of the train, but also cut off the vitality of Nightmare, leading it to death.
As Nightmare died, the train began to shake violently, as if a wounded beast was struggling to its death.
The friction between the rails and the wheels was sharp and harsh, and the entire train seemed likely to rush off the track and fall into the abyss at any time.
Fortunately, the passengers in the car were still immersed in the nightmare of vampire magic at this time and were not aware of the dangers from the outside world. Otherwise, they would have fallen into extreme panic and fear when they saw this scene.
Just when the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were about to step forward and rescue the ordinary people in the train, suddenly, a blazing flame spurted out from the window on the side of the train and shot straight into the sky.
This flame hovered in the air like a giant dragon, making such a rumbling sound that the train that was about to rush off the track was forcefully pulled back and returned to the track steadily.
Under the illumination of the flames, the train's body shone brightly, as if it had been given new life.
Those originally cold and hard metals now revealed a warm and soft feeling when wrapped in flames.
As the flames gradually dissipated, the shaking of the train gradually stabilized, as if everything had returned to tranquility and order.
A minute later, Purgatory Anjuro carried the unconscious Tanjiro and walked off the Mugen Train together with Zenitsu and others.
On Purgatory Xingjulang's forehead, a flame-like pattern appeared.
"Is everyone okay?"
After meeting up with Lin Yi and his group, Purgatory Xingshoulang's eyes swept over everyone with deep concern.
Immortal Kawa Saneya was lying on a stretcher. Although his body was covered with bandages, his face showed a nonchalant expression.
For him, as long as he is alive, he has earned it.
As for Butterfly Ninja, although his physical condition was worrying, his mental state was surprisingly good.
Since avenging her sister, the depression in Butterfly Shinobu's heart seems to have been completely released. Her current smile gives people a feeling of spring breeze, which is completely different from the forced smile before.
At the same time, Ubuyashiki Yaoya, who was far away at the Demon Slayer Headquarters, also received the news.
After learning that two more people had been killed in the Waxing Moon, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya couldn't keep calm in his heart, and his clenched fists showed his inner excitement.
This victory was not only an opportunity to boost morale for the Demon Slayer Corps, but also a key turning point that changed the entire situation of the war.
To this end, he ordered a grand celebration banquet to be prepared for the returning heroes, so that every team member could feel this hard-won glory and joy.
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya was not immersed in the joy of victory.
He clearly realized that after this battle, the balance of power between the Demon Slayer Corps and Demon Dance Tsuji Muzai had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Now, among the twelve demon moons under the command of Onimu Tsuji Mukai, the entire army of the last quarter moon has been wiped out, and the first quarter moon has also lost three heroes. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the evil ghost camp.
As for Yun Xi, who later joined the battle, Ubuyashiki Yōya did not regard her as much of a threat.
In his opinion, Yun Xi was more like a character that Oniitsuji Mumei randomly recruited in order to make up for the losses in a panic.
He began to formulate a detailed strategic plan, preparing to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely eradicate the evil leader Ghost Dance Tsuji Mukai who was causing trouble in the world.
After many hardships, the group finally returned to the Demon Slayer Corps' station.
In the Butterfly House, the atmosphere instantly became tense and busy, and a silent battle was being fought here. The wounded were carefully placed on the hospital bed. Their faces were pale and their bodies were wrapped in bandages, revealing an indescribable exhaustion and pain.
Medical staff gathered around them quickly and orderly to conduct preliminary examination and treatment.
Although Butterfly House has been equipped with quite modern medical resources, in this era, the level of medical care is still limited.
Especially in the absence of penicillin, the risk of wound infection is extremely high. Once infected, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, everyone is tense and does not dare to slack off at all.
The medical staff have a clear division of labor. Some are responsible for cleaning wounds, some are responsible for bandaging and fixing, and some are responsible for preparing medicine.
Fortunately, Lin Yi was prepared and brought a lot of antibiotics into this derivative world.
In this era, since bacteria have not yet developed resistance to antibiotics, the antibiotics Lin Yi brought, although not in large quantities, were enough to provide effective treatment for everyone.
In the ward, Lin Yi was sitting in front of the hospital bed peeling an apple for Butterfly Nin.
Butterfly Nin lay quietly on the bed, her face slightly pale. She took out a brass key from her chest and handed it to Lin Yi: "Mr. Lin, this is the key to the laboratory. I may not need it in the future. Leave it to you."
Lin Yi took the key, looked at Butterfly Nin's slightly tired face, nodded, and said, "Take good care of yourself and leave the rest to me."
[You get the ‘lab key’ and the right to use the warehouse. 】
After killing Tong Mo to avenge his sister, some subtle changes seemed to have occurred in Butterfly Ninja.
In her eyes, life, death and hatred were like fleeting clouds, fleeting.
Chanel stood beside the hospital bed, gently and meticulously changing the bandage on Butterfly Ninja's head.
As the bloody bandage was slowly removed, the Butterfly Ninja's empty left eye was exposed, and Chanel's movements became more cautious.
When changing the medicine, Lin Yi handed Butterfly Nin a delicate small box.
The Butterfly Ninja took the box doubtfully, and after opening it, a lifelike prosthetic eye came into view.
This prosthetic eye was completely different from anything she had ever seen before. No matter in terms of color, texture or gloss, it could almost look real.
Lin Yi joked: "A girl's appearance is very important, be careful no one wants her when she gets married."
After leaving the ward, Lin Yi came to the door of the laboratory.
As the key turned, there was a soft sound and the door opened.
A strong medicinal smell immediately reached Lin Yi's nose. This was a unique smell produced by mixing various herbs and chemical reagents.
Although it was a bit pungent, Lin Yi felt inexplicably kind and familiar.
Entering the laboratory, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Various high-precision instruments are placed here, from microscopes to measuring instruments, from reagent bottles to petri dishes.
Looking at these instruments, Lin Yi couldn't help but marvel at the powerful purchasing channels of Butterfly Ninja.
You know, in this day and age, it's not easy to get these high-precision instruments, let alone have them all in one laboratory.
