Chapter 63: Upper String Assembly
In the front car of the train, an indescribable weird atmosphere filled the air.
This was originally the center where the conductor controlled the operation of the entire train, but now it has become a gloomy and terrifying lair of evil spirits.
On the originally tidy dining table, there was now a horrible body - it was the original conductor of the train.
His clothes were torn and bloodstained, and all his former dignity was gone.
Obviously, he had suffered the misfortune of becoming a meal for these evil spirits.
Douma and Hantengu were now like wild beasts, devouring the conductor's flesh.
Their faces, hands, and even the corners of their mouths were stained with blood, and their eyes flashed with the ferocious and greedy light of wild beasts.
Their behavior no longer betrayed the human appearance they once had; they had transformed into evil spirits who only knew how to kill and eat.
There were bloodstains splattered everywhere on the walls and floors, as if telling what a brutal massacre had just taken place here.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.
"Come to think of it, is it necessary to make such a big fuss? The other party is just a little girl, I am more than enough to handle her alone." Akaza, the powerful man ranked as the third of the Upper Moons, showed a hint of displeasure on his face.
Because Yun Xi revealed the existence of Nezuko to Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon King was extremely delighted and promoted Yun Xi to Upper Six on the spot.
This action not only suddenly improved Yun Xi's status in the ghost clan, but also made her the target of public criticism.
In order to ensure that this operation would be foolproof, Muzan Kibutsuji also specifically ordered other waxing moons to come and assist.
They each had different thoughts and purposes, but under the majesty of Muzan Kibutsuji, they had to temporarily put aside their prejudices and work together for this mission.
However, Yun Xi did not reveal the true identity of the blue red spider lily to Muzan Kibutsuji.
She knew very well that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, especially when facing a guy like Muzan Kibutsuji who was moody and unpredictable, she needed to remain vigilant and keep a trump card.
The blue spider lily is a trump card in her hand. It not only concerns her life and death, but may also be the key to her future turnaround.
She understood that once Muzan Kibutsuji lost interest in her or thought she was no longer of any use to him, her life would be threatened at any time.
Therefore, she must always be vigilant and leave a way out for herself.
The blue red spider lily is the escape route Yun Xi prepared for herself.
"How many people are here now?" asked Kokushibo in a deep voice, his six eyes fixed on the window, as if he could see through all the darkness and conspiracy. He seemed indifferent to other trivial matters.
Yu Hu quietly spread out his territory, like an invisible net, carefully sensing every corner around the train, not missing any slightest movement.
"The Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps has arrived, and he's followed by several members of the Demon Slayer Corps." There was a hint of teasing in Yuhu's tone.
As soon as Yu Hu finished speaking, a distorted expression appeared on Bantian Gou's face, as if he was crying but not crying, which made his face look even uglier and more terrifying.
"Are these the only ones?" Akaza asked coldly, with a hint of disappointment in his tone. He, like Kokushibo, was a fanatic eager to fight, and only a strong enough opponent could satisfy them.
Yu Hu chuckled, waved his hand, and used the blood ghost magic to display a three-dimensional map in front of the ghosts.
This map is so detailed that it seems to include everything around the train, allowing the ghosts to have a more intuitive understanding of the upcoming battle.
On the map, the train is like a giant reptile, moving forward slowly and steadily.
In front of the train, several small red dots gathered closely together, like a group of ferocious beasts about to attack.
These red dots are the marks that represent these evil spirits.
The middle carriage of the train appears on the map as densely packed gray dots, which twinkle quietly like stars in the night sky, representing the ordinary human passengers on the train.
These human passengers had no idea of the horrific battle that was about to break out, and their fate seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand.
In this gray ocean, there are some conspicuous green dots, which are as dazzling as emeralds.
These green dots are the members of the Demon Slayer Corps led by Tanjiro. They are hiding among the ordinary passengers, ready to respond to any sudden crisis at any time.
However, at this moment, the evil spirits did not focus too much on these green dots.
Their attention was completely drawn to what was happening ahead of the train.
About ten miles away from them, hundreds of green dots suddenly appeared on the map. They were densely distributed on both sides of the railway, like a green ocean.
These green dots are obviously the reinforcements of the Demon Slayer Corps. They are on high alert and ready to fight off the attacks of evil spirits at any time.
Seeing this scene, the evil ghosts all showed excitement.
There was a bloodthirsty desire in their eyes, as if they couldn't wait to engage in a bloody battle with these Demon Slayer Corps members.
"Are the Demon Slayer Corps going out in full force this time?" Akaza looked slightly excited, with a wild light flashing in his blood-red eyes.
For him, the more enemies the better, because this will more thoroughly satisfy his desire to fight and make his fighting spirit burn like a raging fire.
However, Yuhu shook his head regretfully, breaking Akaza's fantasy: "Unfortunately, according to my perception, it seems that there are still a few pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps who have not left."
"It seems that the Demon Slayer Corps did not put all its strength here this time." Kokushibo said coldly, his six eyes flashing with cold light, as if he was evaluating the strength comparison between the two sides.
Yuhu nodded and continued, "Indeed. Our mission this time is to recapture Nezuko, and attacking the Demon Slayer Corps is just a side job. Therefore, we must not act rashly without the clear order from Master Muzan Kibutsuji."
The already dim light seemed even dimmer at this moment, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and murderous intent.
The katana on Kokushibo's waist glowed coldly, and the blade trembled slightly, as if cheering for the upcoming battle.
His six eyes were all flashing with cold and cruel light at this moment, as if he couldn't wait to taste the blood.
The other evil spirits also showed grim smiles, rubbing their hands, ready to strike.
Every evil spirit understands that this battle will be different from any previous ones.
Both sides have made full preparations, and a bloody battle is inevitable.
In this solemn atmosphere, the train continued to speed forward.
The scenery outside the window was rapidly receding, as if it was making way for the upcoming battle.
As for Tanjiro and his group in the train, the Waxing Moons had no intention of taking action themselves.
In their eyes, these young Demon Slayer Corps members are not worthy of their personal action.
Therefore, this task was given to Nightmare, the Lower Moon, and other members of the Yunxi Adventure Group.
The train moved slowly along the rails, making a rumbling sound.
The white smoke from the front of the car filled the air, interweaving with the night to form a hazy picture.
The scenery outside the car window kept changing, but the atmosphere inside the car became more and more tense.

Chapter 64 Black Death
Not far in front of the train, Lin Yi and Shinobu Kocho stood quietly on both sides of the railway.
The surrounding Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu, Wind Pillar Fushigawa Sane, Snake Pillar Iguro Obanai, and Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri also found their positions and were ready for battle.
"It seems that the other party has already taken action." Iguro Obane stroked the katani ball wrapped around his neck and said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their eyes to the slowly approaching train.
I saw a large amount of white fog surrounding the train, which was constantly rolling, as if it was evil spirits pouring out from the depths of hell.
The train appears and disappears in the fog, like a ghost train coming from another world, giving people an extremely weird and uneasy feeling.
This strange scene made every member of the Demon Slayer Corps present feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
As the train continued to approach, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps began to retreat in an orderly manner, keeping a safe distance.
They knew very well that the upcoming battle was of an extremely high level and was far beyond their ability to intervene.
Their first priority is to ensure the evacuation of ordinary passengers on the train, which is their duty.
About a kilometer away from Lin Yi, a huge flame suddenly burst out from a carriage and shot straight into the sky. The flame burned fiercely and was so hot that it seemed as if even the sky was dyed red.
The intensity of the flames was jaw-dropping, and it also made people instantly feel the intensity and danger of Rengoku Kyojuro's battle with his enemy.
"That's Mr. Purgatory's flame!" exclaimed Mitsuri Kanroji, a look of worry on her face.
"It seems that Purgatory has already engaged the enemy." Giyu Tomioka said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the flames rising into the sky, as if he was assessing the situation on the battlefield.
At this moment, the battle on the train has begun.
Rengoku Kyojuro led the way and fought a desperate battle with the members of the Xichuan Adventure Group.
His swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every time he swung his sword, it would create a blazing flame that would scare away the enemy.
"Are you the only ones here? Where are the others?"
Everyone looked up and saw a man with six eyes standing quietly in front of them.
Behind him stood a group of evil spirits of various appearances.
Some of them have hideous faces, some have burly bodies, and some exude a gloomy and strange aura.
After seeing the faces of Kokushibo and the evil spirit behind him, everyone's hearts suddenly shuddered, and a chill ran down their spines.
At this moment, the pillars finally felt the pressure brought by the Upper Moon Demons.
The feeling of oppression and fear came like a huge wave, almost suffocating them.
During the tense confrontation, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps and the evil demons brought by Kokushibo each chose their opponents, and then quickly left the central battlefield, leaving the main battlefield to Kokushibo and Lin Yi.
Kokushibo's six eyes stared at Lin Yi closely, as if trying to see through his heart.
As an upper-rank demon, Kokushibo could naturally sense the aura emanating from Lin Yi.
Although Lin Yi's appearance does not look ostentatious, and even gives people the illusion that he is harmless, Kokushibo does not dare to be careless at all.
His fighting instincts accumulated over the years told him that the man in front of him was no ordinary person and was likely the strongest person hidden in the Demon Slayer Corps.
"You are very strong." Kokushibo spoke slowly. His voice was low and hoarse, revealing an indescribable majesty and murderous intent. "But unfortunately, you met me."
Lin Yi did not speak, a flash of black energy flashed in his eyes, and the system's detection function was activated.

Lin Yi's face was solemn, and the staff in his hand gradually dissipated, revealing the sharp sword blade hidden inside.
Black Rose sensed Lin Yi's inner fighting spirit and emitted faint sword sounds, as if cheering for its master.
At the same time, Kokushibo's sword began to tremble slightly, as if it was eager to fight with Black Rose and was looking forward to a hearty battle.
Kokushibo's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he felt the resonance between his sword and the black rose.
He didn't want the battle to reach a climax too soon, so he put his hand on the hilt of the knife and forcibly suppressed the desire for the weapon.
The two weapons gradually stopped resonating under his control, but the tension in the air grew thicker.
Kokushibo lowered his body slightly and assumed a fighting stance.
His six eyes were fixed on Lin Yi, as if he wanted to discern Lin Yi's intentions from every subtle movement.
This is a skill he has honed in countless battles over hundreds of years. By observing his opponent's muscle movements, he can even predict his opponent's movements and attack direction.
Lin Yi keenly sensed the sharp sword energy emanating from Kokushibo. The sharpness that seemed to be able to pierce through everything made him dare not be careless at all.
The sixth sense of both sides is sending out strong warnings that if they are not careful, they may fall into an irretrievable situation.
Although the desire to fight burned in the hearts of both men, neither of them dared to act rashly, for fear of revealing a flaw due to a momentary impulse and giving the other side an opportunity to take advantage.
The two of them just stared at each other quietly in the tense and solemn atmosphere, their breaths intertwining and colliding in the air, as if forming an invisible storm.
Muffled thunder exploded in the sky and a sharp flash of lightning struck, instantly illuminating the dark night sky as bright as day.
Immediately afterwards, raindrops fell from the sky and hit the ground, making a fine and crisp sound, as if playing the prelude to the battle.
How is this chapter? Is it good?
