Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

Chapter 43: Chapter 44: The Demon Slayer and the Death God Mask



The legendary-quality item that appeared before Feng Yu immediately shocked him.

Because it was a knife.

And not just any knife,

It was a knife that every person in the small island nation knew:

"Treasure Sword: Oni-Kiri!"

Demon Sword Oni-Kiri: A renowned Ming Dynasty Sword from the peaceful era, one of the two legendary swords used by Gen Matsunobu to defend the world. Originally named Hige-Kiri, it was paired with another famous sword, Hiza-Maru. Legend has it that Watanabe no Tsuna used Hige-Kiri at the Gojo crossing to sever the wrist of the demon god Ibaraki-Douji, demonstrating its unbreakable, iron-cutting, bloodthirsty, soul-consuming, and demon-slaying powers.

Friendly Reminder: This sword can merge with any other sword to inherit its effects.

"This works just like the Death God Mask... they can both merge..."

Feng Yu seemed to have understood why these items from the system had the ability to merge.

"Perhaps somewhere in this world, there exists an Oni-Kiri... or a Death God Mask..."

Feng Yu hesitated.

Because the price of Oni-Kiri was a staggering 5 million sword swings...

"Buying the Oni-Kiri... means I'll be left with no sword swings..."

"But if I don't buy it... knowing how the system works, the item will likely disappear when the store refreshes..."

Feng Yu was caught in a dilemma.

After half an hour of inner struggle, Feng Yu made his decision and purchased the legendary Sword.

Watching his sword swing count drop to just a few hundred thousand, his heart bled.

But soon, the "True Fragrance" Law took effect.

"Wow... this... this is way too cool... this sword!"

Feng Yu carefully drew the Oni-Kiri.

In that moment, the sword's sharp aura stood out.

Holding it in his hands, the Sword fit perfectly with his stance and the way he wielded it!

A feeling of familiarity surged in Feng Yu's heart.

"Bang!"

Feng Yu lightly swung the Oni-Kiri.

A Sword of energy shot out.

The small mountain in front of him was instantly leveled.

"This... this... this is too exaggerated, right...?"

Feng Yu opened his mouth wide, seemingly unable to believe that the mountain had been sliced so easily by his light swing.

"This sword is really amazing..."

"That 5 million was totally worth it..."

Feng Yu couldn't put the Oni-Kiri down. At that moment, he finally understood why some people loved legendary swords.

Anyone who had ever used a famous Sword would probably look down on ordinary swords.

"What a pity... If you appear in this form, you'd be quickly recognized as Oni-Kiri..."

"I'll have to turn you into my Nichirin Sword."

Holding the Oni-Kiri in his right hand, Feng Yu drew his Nichirin Sword with his left.

The two swords slowly began to merge,

To his surprise, it wasn't Oni-Kiri that merged into the Nichirin Sword, but rather the Nichirin Sword that merged into Oni-Kiri.

In a short time, the two swords fused into one.

And the appearance of the Oni-Kiri changed.

The originally silver-white Sword now carried the green color of the Nichirin Sword.

But the green was only in the middle of the Sword, a thin line of green that adorned the Oni-Kiri.

"Hahaha, this is perfect, I thought the Oni-Kiri would merge into the Nichirin Sword, but it turned out like this... Not bad, very not bad."

"Now, Oni-Kiri hasn't lost any of its qualities. On the contrary, it's inherited the sun-scorching effect that kills demons."

Feng Yu looked at the Oni-Kiri with increasing affection.

As he felt the bloodthirsty desire emanating from the Sword, Feng Yu frowned:

"The bloodlust of Oni-Kiri is too intense... this isn't good... After all, I'm not someone who craves bloodshed..."

Quickly sheathing the Oni-Kiri, the desire subsided.

"I didn't expect Oni-Kiri to have this side to it..."

Next, Feng Yu took out the Death God Mask from the system's space and held it in his hands.

In that moment, the temperature around him seemed to drop.

The mask, crafted from cold jade, was dark and eerie. The green fangs were bloodthirsty and terrifying. One half was icy white with a touch of green, and the other half was fiery red with a hint of gold. The crimson eyes seemed to stare at Feng Yu, as though some mysterious force was tugging at his soul.

He couldn't help but shiver, and even Xiao Bai, who had already woken up, retreated, assuming a defensive stance.

"Master... Master, that mask is terrifying..."

Xiao Bai cried out.

Feng Yu struggled to suppress the unease in his heart and took out the fox mask given to him by Sakonji Urokodaki.

Then, the familiar scene unfolded.

The two masks began to merge slowly.

But this time, it wasn't the fox mask merging into the Death God Mask. It was the other way around.

In a short while, the two masks fused into a single fox mask.

To be honest, the fox mask given by Sakonji Urokodaki had always been a little eerie.

The mask's face was pale, with eerie red eyes and a smile that wasn't quite a smile. Now, with the fusion of the Death God Mask, it looked even more sinister.

The eyes turned crimson, and if you stared at them for too long, you'd feel dizzy. Those with weak resistance would see countless vengeful spirits.

Feng Yu stood still for a while.

Slowly, he placed the mask on his face.

"Boom!"

Feng Yu felt as if his entire being had been elevated.

He could now perceive things within a 1500-meter radius, a threefold increase from before!

Feng Yu was stunned.

He never expected the mask to have such a remarkable effect.

When he first saw the description of the Death God Mask, he thought its only function was to resist mental attacks, but it also amplified spiritual power.

This was undoubtedly as valuable as Oni-Kiri, and Feng Yu felt it was a great bargain. He couldn't help but praise the system for producing such high-quality items!

After removing the mask with a pleased expression, Feng Yu spent another 200,000 purchasing various elixirs.

"Although I already have plenty of elixirs in my bag... better be safe and stock up a bit more!"

The system's inventory was filled with various elixirs, with healing and detoxification pills being the most abundant, along with various small items and snacks obtained from daily sign-ins and lottery draws.

Finally, there was the straw doll woven together.

The entire doll was made from yellowed rice stalks, with a piece of paper attached to its head. From the system's description, Feng Yu knew how to use the Substitute Doll.

In the face of imminent danger, one could drop their own blood onto the paper on the doll's face, and it would shield them from a lethal crisis.

"Too bad... this life-saving item is a one-time use..."

"If only I had a few more of these... I could truly let go and take more risks..."

"So for now, I still need to be cautious and take things slow!"

Feng Yu sighed and shook his head.

"I might be the worst among all the travelers... such a good golden finger, yet it hasn't taken off until now... I really feel like a failure..."

But the smile on his face betrayed him.

"Luckily... luckily I have you, Xiao Bai, by my side!"

Feng held Xiao Bai in his arm and was about to head back to the Butterfly Mansion.
