In the second half of the 43rd year of Meiji (1910), several major events happened.

The first thing is that this year's natural disaster and the country's reliance on food imports have deliberately ignored the interests of farmers, resulting in famines in hundreds of villages in various counties.

There were several village landlords who even used the excuse of "begging is a shame" and "will smear the country and His Majesty" to persuade the submissive farmers to starve themselves to death and not seek help from the city, and then annex their land and sell it to capitalists who need to open factories.

It can be seen that the rapid progress of commerce and industry in this country comes at the cost of the wealth and life of a large number of ordinary farmers.

Some oppressed workers and farmers did not want to be victims anymore, so they put forward banners, saying that "reform is more powerful than evil spirits". Under the leadership of several knowledgeable people, a red movement among the people was launched. However, these leading figures were arrested and tried by government spies on the grounds of "trying to assassinate the emperor with bombs", which even attracted international attention, known in history as the "Great Rebellion" incident.

So, what does this matter have to do with Ashina and the Demon Slayer?

Of course there is!

These ordinary people who could not survive found that it was impossible to survive by using political activities, so they began to cut down and burn wisteria trees in groups, or pray in remote old temples, and use blood as bait, hoping that ghosts could come to the door and turn them into similar ones.

In this way, even if they have no food, they can eat the rich people who oppress them and live.

Even if they cannot become ghosts, they hope to be eaten by ghosts so as to avoid worthless death on the roadside, because this is what society does to them: eat people.

There are tens of thousands of people in Japan that are so desperate, which has caused a very serious negative impact.

It is conceivable that I no longer trust my former subordinates, Muzan Kimuzan, and I am very interested in their "invitation".

Although the ghost killing team has tried their best to stop it, after investigation and statistics and police interrogation, it was confirmed that at least more than 400 people were voluntarily converted into ghosts. More participants became the first food for those new ghosts, but there were only a few who resisted...

After this incident was exposed, it was called "the most tragic resistance in human history" by foreign newspapers.

As for the second major event, the bottle of "human heart sediment" handed over by Xianichiro to Xiao finally played a role.

Those powerful officers from the Sa Chang faction became irritable, greedy, suspicious because of the influence of that thing. In just a few days, many extremely vicious officers injured and killed people.

And their leaders, the two veterans of the military, Yama Prefecture Aritoto and Kaedaro, were also named "rebellious and perpetrators" because they criticized the emperor in public.

As a result, not only did they not apologize, but instead crossed the cabinet through their own influence, privately mobilized trusted troops to capture and attack their political enemies. In an interview with foreign journalists, they even admitted the army's evil deeds in Asian countries and proudly said bluntly: "This is to relax the soldiers, and it is completely normal in the war", which caused an international sensation.

Their consequences can be imagined - the furious Emperor Meiji issued an edict to cancel their privileges as elders, but those vaguely crazy direct officers were not willing to obey the command and immediately wanted to mutiny, but were killed on the spot by a group of mysterious ninjas who suddenly appeared...

The situation afterwards was almost the same as the chord Ichiro thought about it.

The Japanese vassal lords completely collapsed, and the dead officers were judged as foul conspirators. The original army was dismantled and reorganized, and a large number of unincorporated officers were promoted, many of which were reeducated Ashina. Although the senior military and police were still descendants of the offensive heroes, among the middle and low-level generals in Tokyo, Ashina occupied about 5% of the weight, and there will be more in the future, but few people knew about this...

By the time they realized it later, it was too late.

...

Two days ago in the winter solstice, in the magic corridor.

Xian Yiro put Tie Liuyun across his chest and was surrounded by nine people holding weapons on the center of the tree.

But it was not him who looked alert, but the breathless pillars.

Just yesterday, the last of them, the new snake pillar named Yihei Minibu, also passed the assessment of Akaza and mastered the ability to temporarily enter the world.

At this point, the nine pillars of the Ghost Killing Team (Yan Yan Yin Hua Shui Feng Insect Snake)—including those who were harassed by Gui Ting Yaxiao, who had to return, had finally mastered the skills of entering a transparent state.

This means that the eight pillars present have the qualifications to stand opposite one of the winding strings without being instantly killed.

Therefore, when they heard Akaza say that Yanichiro is now enough to compete with the winding one, they launched this challenge to him, wanting to see the difference between himself and his imaginary enemy.

But more than ten minutes passed, and Xianichiro had not used his breathing for even a few days, but they could not even cause a slightly worse wound.

Everyone can see that world, why can you hide at will?

It's simply outrageous!

This is the common idea in everyone's mind.

"Don't be impatient."

Wildering Yu Xingming can feel everyone's mood from the rhythm of breathing. "Mr. Ashina's eyes are like Tinto, and they have undergone special training. What he sees will be slower than what you see."

Xian Yiro nodded silently in his heart. The monk's judgment was very accurate.

Unexpectedly, it was their first time to fight, and Wuming Yu Xingming saw so many things.

His eyes were strengthened twice by [Seeing through] and [Ninja Eye], and he had extremely strong dynamic vision.

Butterfly Ninja only learned to see through from Xiao, but it was also better than others.

If the other people see things after turning on the transparent ones, they can see 0.25 times the speed and the Butterfly Ninja is 0.2 times the speed, then Xianyiro is about 0.15, which gives him more reaction time and can avoid and counterattack.

"So, just let him not see our movements?

"Then block his vision!"

As the Butterfly Ninja cried out, a trace of enlightenment flashed in Kuangjin's eyes, and the others also started to move together!

"Xia's Breath·Five-shaped·Sea of ​​Clouds!"

Suddenly, thick mist poured into the surrounding area of ​​Kuroshino and rushed towards Xianichiro.

Xianichiro knew that Kurono was moving at high speed in this fog sea, but he could not determine its specific location.

"It's not okay if you don't show some real skills!"

He raised the corner of his mouth and put out his palms in the way of bowing the combo punch and subduing the demons, breaking the thick clouds into white vortex holes—

But at this moment, he saw the shadows of three Sun Wheel Swords!

The blue ones are naturally the immortal ones; the light blue ones are white ones are the wild ones; and the curved blade on the edge is naturally the unique weapon in the Yihei minibus.

The three most flexible people in the Demon Killing Team except the Butterfly Ninja were actually hidden in the fog caused by Kuangjin, the Kyotori, to launch a sneak attack!

It seems that the previous failure of the frontal attack has taught them quite a lot of lessons.

But it was precisely because of the flexibility of the three people that Xian Ichiro could not use a large-scale slash to attack them at the same time, so he chose to attack the straightforward Mudhikawa Miya first - a horizontal immortal peak foot swept out from the side and hit the Mudhikawa's shoulder, making a crisp sound, and the shape changed.

Mukuikawa hadn't fought with Xian Ichiro for a long time. He didn't expect that his strength was so great that his body could not help but crashed towards the two people next to him, but he avoided it without surprise.

“…Ha, I feel like my arm is broken. But, just move!

"The breath of the wind, the type of dust whirlwind, the cut!"

The pace of progress was forcibly interrupted, Ikukawa could only bear the pain of swinging a spiral forward sword energy on the spot, interfering with Xianichiro's vision and creating opportunities for the other two to continue moving forward.

But he never expected that Xian Yiro, who was most familiar with Feng Zhi's breathing, didn't even look at it, but just waved his sword gently—

With just a sound, the dust whirlwind actually flew in the other direction, shooting down the hidden Butterfly Ninjan who used illusion in the air. If it weren't for the Wildering Immortality throwing out the axe and giving her a point of leverage, she would have fallen under the tree and died.

"Sure enough, he knew my location from the very beginning!"

Butterfly frowned, but immediately let go.

She saw that the clouds and mists rose again, while the Yinzhu Umi Tianyuan sneaked behind Xianyiro-

Although he is tall, his ability to hide is also excellent, and he does not even make any sound.

However, just as he raised his swords and planned to cooperate with the rest of the people to cut off Xianichiro's shoulders, the latter turned around without warning and shot six times at Yinzu's head.

If you shoot with your face, Hei Shi Mou can avoid it. Can you?

Yuxie Tianyuan’s answer is yes, but not completely.

"First!"

Xian Yiro snorted coldly. Such a big word for danger reminded me that I would not be able to see it?

Yinzhu was shot three times in a row, and half of his head was stained with blood, but he still recognized a large handful of explosives before his body dissipated.

"This is my...the last gorgeous..."

“Beautiful job!”

Butterfly Ninja seized the opportunity and accurately captured the locations of the bombs with thousands of books, trying to detonate them one by one.

But Xianichiro was not too slow and stepped on the blue blade that pierced from the clouds and mist. After snatching off the weapon, he grabbed Yoshiyuki Tomooka's shoulder and threw him towards the explosives.

Yoshio Tomooka and Daikin looked at each other, almost at close range, and almost ate the kind in their mouths - and the Chibi of Butterfly Ninja happened to have sparks from the surface of the steel ball.

Yoshio Tomooka Yoshio didn't have time to open his mouth and talk, so he was blown to ash and resurrected.

“The second one.”

As the loud bang exploded, Xian Yiro squatted down and opened the Suzaku Red Lotus Umbrella, and the bursting hot air naturally avoided him and rushed towards both sides!

"Good opportunity!"

The flames dissipated, and everyone saw him crouching in the red umbrella without moving. A few people except the Butterfly Ninja rushed forward.

But no one expected that just when they were less than one meter away from Xianichiro, the red umbrella suddenly cracked from the middle, replaced by a flame-shaped sunroof, and a sweep with a huge range.

“The third one.”

The first thing that happened to be the butterfly Kanae, who was swept into it, was directly smashed to the lumbar spine and crashed into the arms of the Budhikawa next to her like a falling kite. She lost her breath without even saying a word.

Even though I knew it was in the fantasy corridor, Impotent River's face still became red with the naked eye, and it was obviously very angry-

But at this moment, a faint reminder appeared in my ears: "Do you think I will wait for you to get angry and open the marks?"

In addition to Butterfly Ninja, among the nine pillars, Rock Pillar, Fire Pillar and Immortal Kawamiya have all experienced opening marks.

This should be related to their good physical fitness and their ability to maintain high temperatures for a long time.

Immortal Chuan twisted his head and waved his sword fiercely, but he hit the sword body with a purple and clear axe hard!
