Zongman: Evolution Paradise Chapter 069

“It’s getting dark.”

Xu Lun walked out of the house. Black Sun also flew back to Xu Lun’s shoulder from outside, shaking its head, indicating that it hadn’t found any trace of a demon.

Xu Lun stood there, waiting and waiting, but Buna still hadn’t returned.

“Where did that artificial idiot go?”

“Annoyed by it, so we split up.”

Hearing Black Sun speak after a long time, Xu Lun felt a little relieved…

At the same time, Buna was rushing back with two demons.

Once Buna became slightly familiar with the two demons, she immediately shed her superficial social anxiety and revealed her true nature as a chatterbox.

After being tormented for an entire afternoon, Daki’s veins popped out on her forehead, and Kaigaku’s clothes were still stained with blood.

Although the Kasugai Crow was real, Daki wasn’t a demon who reasoned. Kaigaku deserved a beating for daring to insult her.

After receiving confirmation that they were indeed demons, Buna planned to return and contact Xu Lun.

“Completing a mission by the book isn’t what makes a qualified Kasugai Crow. Your master sent you to find demons. Wouldn’t it be better to bring us back?”

Although she wasn’t a Kasugai Crow, Buna felt that what Kaigaku said made a lot of sense.

If she only completed basic commands, what would be the difference between her and Black Sun? She couldn’t compare to the Jorōgumo in Xu Lun’s arms. She had to at least become the most useful crow by Xu Lun’s side.

She was eager to bring them back but was refused. It seemed these two demons had some unspoken difficulty and requested to wait until it was dark.

Buna flapped her wings lightly, searching for the way back.

…

“There are still four Lower Moons and at least two Upper Moons left. Enmu shouldn’t be able to make me lose sleep, so he’s nothing to worry about. Daki is a bit weak, also nothing to worry about. Which Upper Moon will it be? I hope it’s Hantengu…”

Xu Lun walked conspicuously on the road, holding his sword. Several Kasugai Crows scattered, taking up high-altitude vantage points.

Murata and Agatsuma Zenitsu cautiously followed behind Xu Lun. Although they didn’t know Xu Lun’s exact strength, they were very clear about the Upper Moons. They hadn’t been replaced for a full 130 years, and each one had several Hashira’s lives on their hands.

The moment they decided to stay here, they had already cast aside thoughts of life and death.

Daki and Kaigaku also didn’t conceal their figures. Soon, Murata’s Kasugai Crow discovered them and quickly flew back to report.

“It’s Lower Moon One and Lower Moon Three.”

“Should we continue forward?”

Murata looked up, asking Xu Lun for his opinion. This meant facing two Lower Moons simultaneously, and they were among the strongest of the Lower Moons.

Glancing at Agatsuma Zenitsu’s agitation, Xu Lun rubbed his yellow hair and said easily, “Don’t worry, Kaigaku will definitely die here today.”

Continuing forward, Xu Lun saw Buna between Daki and Kaigaku.

It was a bit hard to take. No wonder he couldn’t find Buna; she had been captured by demons.

“Die!”

Finding the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, a sash extended from Daki’s back and slashed fiercely at Buna, clearly having endured it for a long time.

Hit by the sash, Buna looked bewildered. Before she could understand what happened, she was blasted by a massive force towards Xu Lun.

Xu Lun caught her. He didn’t know what kind of machinery she was made of; there wasn’t even a scratch on her.

“Boss, I brought the demons back for you.”

“Thank you, artificial idiot.”

Feeling a bit tired, he let her fly off. Xu Lun looked at the two demons in front of him.

“I remember you were Upper Moon Six, weren’t you?”

Xu Lun saw “Lower Moon One” in Daki’s eyes and asked curiously. He had thought the Kasugai Crow was referring to Enmu as Lower Moon One, but it turned out to be Daki.

“After I kill you, I’ll take back my Upper Moon position!”

A giant pink sash burst out of the ground, directly slicing towards Xu Lun’s body. Judging by its size, if it hit, he would surely be cut in half.

Previously, facing Rui’s threads required defense, but now Xu Lun just swung his Nichirin Blade. With sheer arm strength, he shattered the sash’s power and pinned it to the ground.

Turning his head to the other side, Agatsuma Zenitsu had already drawn his sword and charged at Kaigaku.

“Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash, Sixfold!”

Accompanied by a roar filled with anger, golden lightning resounded across the battlefield.

“Thunder Breathing is still cool, but starting with your ultimate move, can you even make a second strike?”

He hadn’t expected Agatsuma Zenitsu to learn the Sixfold. Xu Lun placed the Jorōgumo he was holding on the ground and warned, “Go support him, but don’t use too much force and kill Kaigaku.”

The Jorōgumo blinked. Having been with him for many days, she could easily understand Xu Lun’s meaning.

Don’t let Agatsuma Zenitsu get killed, and don’t help him kill Kaigaku.

…

“As for you, you just hit my Kasugai Crow, didn’t you?”

Although she was a bit foolish, and left behind by his predecessor, not his own creation, they had still spent many days together, and she was dedicated to his commands.

Xu Lun drew his Nichirin Blade, pressing it down to his waist, and softly called out, “Dust Whirlwind Cutter!”

First Form: Dust Whirlwind Cutter. In terms of attack style, it could simply be called a “face-charge downward chop.”

But under Xu Lun’s impressive 12 points of strength, the ground shattered, and his charging figure towards Daki was more like an ancient evil general!

Before he even chopped at Daki’s face, the downward wind blade had already torn her face.

“Eight-Layered Obi Slash!”

Several sashes extended from Daki’s body, blocking the incoming strike.

Just as she was about to relax, the next strike, or rather, many strikes, had already slashed at her body again.

Limbs were torn apart. Several sashes forcibly reconnected the severed parts within her body. Daki looked like a bleeding block toy.

Facing Daki’s astonished expression, Xu Lun politely called out the name of the technique.

“Third Form: Clear Storm Tree!”

“The sword is too fast; it’s okay if I don’t have time to call out the technique name, right?”

Daki’s Blood Demon Art was called “Obi.” The sashes had their own consciousness and could attack independently or be controlled. They were incredibly tough and could also serve as storage space.

It seemed to have many functions, but against a pure disparity in strength, it would crumble at a touch.

With her strength, she naturally couldn’t have been the former Upper Moon. Another demon existed within Daki’s body; that was her brother, the true Upper Moon.

Unless both demons were killed simultaneously, even injuries from a severed head would quickly recover.

“You really don’t have the strength of an Upper Moon. If you don’t call your brother out, you’re going to cry.”

Xu Lun stepped on her, kindly advising.

—

“Thunder Breathing, Second Form: Rice Spirit!”

Black lightning bloomed from the katana in Kaigaku’s hand, easily blocking five slashes.

As for Agatsuma Zenitsu’s sixth slash, Kaigaku touched his neck and laughed disdainfully, “Your strength is still so weak.”

After unleashing a Sixfold Thunderclap and Flash, Agatsuma Zenitsu’s legs were trembling.

Kaigaku had originally wanted to run away in the chaos, as there was no need for him to risk himself against either Daki or Xu Lun, but he hadn’t expected to see his junior disciple, which made him abandon the idea of escaping.

“I thought you were dead, Zenitsu.”

“That old geezer was so good to you, and only I was there the day he committed seppuku.”

Having endured so much grievance, Kaigaku finally found someone he could freely insult, laughing wildly.

“Thunder Breathing, Thunderclap and Flash!”

Muscles in his legs bulged as Agatsuma Zenitsu, filled with anger, charged at Kaigaku again.

The Jorōgumo had transformed to the size of an elementary school student, casually waving, and her spider silk transformed into a giant wave that swept forth.

Murata hesitated, staying behind. As an ordinary swordsman, he had successfully been forgotten by everyone, only able to do what he said he would: record the battle…
