Chapter 24: Saving People
What was going on? You Xiaohun felt the scene before him was bizarre, and the blood demon technique mentioned by Shimi flashed through his mind. But this... this was too incredible. This place was simply a city!
After a moment of panic, You Xiaohun quickly adjusted her mentality. She was falling down at a very fast speed. If she didn't find a way to stop, she would die in minutes. She didn't want to die from falling. That was too embarrassing. If she had to die, she would rather die in battle.
She suddenly recalled her battle with Shimi: since her wind attack talisman could work on sword energy, it probably could work on humans as well. Immediately, she threw out a wind attack talisman, wrapping it around her legs. But just as she was about to activate it, she realized the spiritual energy here was terribly thin.
You Xiaohun's heart sank as she realized they were most likely underground. This meant she could only rely on her own spiritual energy to power her magic, and every bit she used was a bit less.
She mobilized the spiritual energy within her body, precisely controlling the wind attack talisman to gently lift her legs. With a push of her feet, using the wind's force to support her, she flipped her body in the air. She landed steadily on the corridor below, with a slight muffled sound on the floor.
"Help!" "Ahhh!" You Xiaohun heard shouts coming from all directions.
Damn! If this continues, many people will fall to their death. Damn it!
She couldn't just watch everyone die. She no longer cared about whether her spiritual power was wasted or not.
You Xiaohun quickly threw three wind-attack talismans from her arms and wrapped them around herself. With the experience from the first time, she was much more skilled this time. She shuttled through the corridors of the towers. Whenever she saw a soldier falling from the air, she rushed over, using the wind-attack talismans to help her pull them up and put them on a stable position. After securing one, she didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately rushed to the next target, with a single thought in her mind: save as many as possible.
Suddenly, she saw a female soldier falling rapidly from the corner of her eye. And right next to her in the corridor, a hideous-looking long-tongued ghost was opening its bloody mouth. Its long tongue was like a vicious python, ready to pierce her waist and abdomen. At this critical moment, You Xiaohun rushed over without hesitation, controlling the peach wood sword to cut towards the long tongue in the air. With a "swish", the long tongue was cut off cleanly. You Xiaohun's feet were like the wind, and he rushed to the female soldier at the fastest speed and hugged her tightly. He slowly flew to a safe place. You Xiaohun put the female soldier down and asked, "Are you okay?"
She followed You Xiaohun with her eyes and was distracted for a moment, then she came to her senses and said with a faint blush, "Thank you."
You Xiaohun nodded slightly. Now, she could finally take a good look at this mysterious Infinite City. She held onto the railing with both hands, slowly raised her head, and looked around. She saw corridors crisscrossing like a vast, intricate spider web. In the dim light, the city walls seemed alive, shifting and changing, exuding a sinister and eerie aura.
She whispered to Zirong in her heart: "Hasn't the exact location of Muzan been found yet?"
Zirong's voice rang in her mind in time: "Yes, we haven't found anything yet. But don't worry, if we find anything, I will inform you as soon as possible."
You Xiaohun frowned slightly, pondering her next move. Although her exact location was unclear, she could roughly determine Muzan's likely location through the crow's perspective, and she decided to rush in that direction.
Only by completely killing the culprit Muzan can all this end.
You Xiaohun's hands were trembling slightly, and she herself wasn't quite sure whether it was because of the nervousness of facing the unknown, or the excitement of facing a powerful enemy head-on.
"The fire virtue of heaven and earth will burn all things to ashes. I obey the order of the ancestors and pray! Attack here with fire. Hurry up and obey the order." Talismans filled with pure yang power flew out from her hands, and wherever they passed, there was the residual smell of ashes of evil spirits that were reduced to ashes.
Along the way, evil spirits of various shapes and hideous faces kept coming like a tide, baring their fangs and claws and making creepy roars, obviously intending to consume the physical strength of her and her teammates in this way.
You Xiaohun nimbly dodged the attacks of the evil spirits while fighting back, feeling a surge of irritation and anger in his heart. "It's so annoying! These evil spirits are like flies, endless."
Suddenly, a battle report came from the sky: "Death, Kocho Shinobu is dead."
You Xiaohun paused in his running steps, and the gentle smile of Xiaonin in his memory appeared before his eyes.
Damn it!!! We’ve been delayed here for too long. She gritted her teeth and asked, “Where the hell is Muzan!!!” Although her heart was filled with resentment, You Xiaohun knew that she couldn’t let her emotions sway her at this moment. She had to remain calm and continue moving towards her goal.
......
"Tai...Tai Riya-sama, do we need to dispatch other pillars to assist the Upper Moon One? Tomioka Giyu and Kamado Tanjiro still have enough strength to fight."
Teriya: "No! Order Giyu and Tanjiro to continue rushing to Muzan's hiding place. As for the Lower Moon One... Xiaohun, do you have any better suggestions?"
You Xiaohun responded through Zirong and Huiliya: "No, my lord, your arrangement is very reasonable. With the combined strength of Xingming, Shimi, Wuyilang and Xuanmi, we will be able to successfully defeat it..." Before she finished speaking, she stopped talking.
Instantly, a horrific image flashed through her mind: Xuan Mi, split in half, blood splattering everywhere, dissipating into the air, while Shi Mi clutched the remains of his clothes, wailing and screaming in agony. The image pierced her heart like a needle. She clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white, her face as pale as paper. The agonizing struggle between these two choices seemed to tear her apart.
Finally, with a determined look in her eyes, she said eagerly, "My Lord, please forgive my selfishness and allow me to go and help! After I defeat Upper Moon One, I will immediately reunite with Tanjiro and the others."
You Xiaohun: Everyone, please forgive my selfishness. I am just an ordinary person. I can't bear to watch Xuan Mi die!
Huiliya's calm voice came: "I approve it. Be careful."
"Thank you, my lord!"
Then he flew towards them like lightning, shouting in his heart: I must catch up!
This was a special gift You Xiaohun had possessed since childhood—precognitive ability. This ability was unrelated to whether her clairvoyance was open, and beyond her control. Precognitive images often popped into her mind, often causing her great distress and annoyance. But today, for the first time, she felt immense gratitude for this ability. It gave her a chance to save someone she cared about.
She bit her lip, her eyes determined, and ran faster, "I will never let you die!" Xuan Mi!
Just as You Xiaohun ignored the loss of spiritual power and used all his strength to drive the wind attack talisman to rush to the place where Upper Moon One Kokushibo was, his pupils suddenly shrank.
I saw that Kasumi-sama was holding on to Kokushibo tightly at the risk of his life. Kokushibo was covered with vines, as if he was bound by the power of blood demon magic. Shimizu and Mr. Beimeiyu were preparing to give him a fatal blow.
At this moment, Kokushibo suddenly roared like a trapped beast, and sharp blades came out of his body, sweeping around like surging waves.
You Xiaohun caught a glimpse of Xuan Mi standing not far away, his defenses wide open. Without hesitation, she wrapped herself in the Wind Attack Talisman and, bursting with astonishing speed, rushed towards Xuan Mi like a bolt of lightning.
In an instant, time seemed to have been slowed down to an incomparable degree. Everyone's movements, the impending danger, were slowed down many times.
When You Xiaohun arrived in front of Xuan Mi in time, she only had time to use the sword to perform ordinary attacks to resist. The special amulet shattered instantly. Although You Xiaohun successfully blocked most of the attacks, Xuan Mi was right behind her. If she dodged at this time, Xuan Mi would be in great danger.
Kokushibo's attack was incredibly powerful, severing Xuan Mi's leg. At the same time, You Xiaohun suffered a deep wound from her eyes to her chest, and blood gushed out. Although her internal organs were not injured, the pain in her chest was so severe that she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
