Chapter 76

Yudou's powerful demonic energy enveloped the surroundings, directly affecting the three young ones. While Giyu and Tanjiro were still able to withstand it, their indomitable spirit forced them to bend only slightly under the pressure.

Among them, Giyu, who was receiving special attention, began to tremble uncontrollably in his legs, but he was a tough guy. To resist the无形的压力, he actually chose to stab his thigh with the Nichirin Blade, attempting to overcome his fear through pain, which earned Yudou a look of admiration.

However, among the three, the one with the weakest will was Zenitsu Iwa. His performance was far from satisfactory, and he was now lying flat on the ground, completely pressed against it.

But after recalling Yudou's words, Zenitsu looked at the box on Tanjiro's back, reached out his hand into the air, and his expression turned resolute. He began to struggle under the heavy pressure.

Just as the three young ones were using all their strength to resist Yudou's pressure, the terrifying pressure suddenly receded like a tide.

Yudou, who had previously looked battle-hungry, now returned to his gentle, neighborly big brother appearance, looking at the three young ones who were sprawled on the ground with a playful expression.

At this moment, Tanjiro and the others in front of Yudou were panting heavily, and their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

"Your performance just now, although it didn't meet my expectations, was barely acceptable. The stronger a person is, the stronger they are not just in terms of strength. It's good to give you a warning now, so that when you encounter enemies far stronger than you in the future, you won't lose your will to fight."

Seeing the three who were too exhausted to even speak, Yudou shook his head and turned to walk into the Spider Mountain.

"If you feel better, you can follow me. Of course, by the time you catch up, the demons might already be gone."

Leaving the three looking at each other, Yudou flashed into the Spider Mountain.

While the urge to test Tanjiro and the others was one reason, Yudou was also worried that his target might be intercepted by them.

Although Yudou didn't think that Tanjiro and the others had the strength to defeat the "Twelve Kizuki," as the main characters, they had a powerful protagonist aura that made everything unpredictable.

It wasn't just about defeating the Twelve Kizuki with a roar; even if they suddenly killed Muzan, Yudou would believe it.

Not long after Yudou entered the Spider Mountain, the three young ones, who were sitting on the ground to recover their strength, began to discuss.

Mouth-flat Giyu was particularly unwilling. He was dissatisfied with his previous cowardly self, who lacked the courage to even swing his sword when the opponent was right in front of him.

In the face of that无形的压力, he felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, unable to resist, let alone turn and run.

"Brother Yudou had the strength to rival the Hashira even before he became a Demon Slayer Corps member. And my teacher, who taught me the Breathing Technique, once said that Brother Yudou's talent is incredibly strong. After mastering the Breathing Technique he created, he is probably unmatched by any of the current Hashira."

Seeing the reluctant Giyu, Tanjiro took the initiative to console him, implying that Giyu's performance was not shameful, but rather that they had encountered an extraordinary existence.

"The strongest Hashira? No wonder I always felt that the brother I met earlier was even stronger than the teacher who taught me the Thunder Breathing Technique. If I had his strength, I wouldn't have to worry about dying and not being able to get married..."

Zenitsu had only met Yudou twice, and the Yudou he saw earlier didn't give him such a strong sense of oppression, so he didn't know that Yudou was such an extraordinary person.

"Compared to the strongest Hashira, the Demon Slayer Corps members prefer to call Brother Yudou 'Hundred Demon Slayer.' Because he once faced over a hundred demons and killed them all with his own hands!"

When it came to Yudou's heroic deeds, Tanjiro could recount them in detail. Under Tanjiro's explanation, Yudou unknowingly gained two more little fans.

At this moment, Yudou had already entered the Spider Mountain and was quickly jumping and moving through the forest.

The trees in the Spider Mountain were quite dense, and because of this, the mountain was extremely dark and damp, with sunlight unable to penetrate. Therefore, the demons in the mountain could also be active during the day.

The moment Yudou entered the Spider Mountain, he smelled the stench of demons that enveloped the entire mountain, as well as a strong smell of blood in the air.

It was clear that the Demon Slayer Corps members who had come to exterminate the demons were either dead or in grave danger.

Because of his overly sensitive sense of smell, Yudou found it difficult to locate the exact position of the demons in this place filled with their stench.

However, the place with the strongest smell of blood would certainly have demons, so Yudou's goal was clear. He followed the smell of blood and began to run quickly through the Spider Mountain.

During his advance, Yudou suddenly smelled the scent of living beings. He thought they might be surviving Demon Slayer Corps members, but unexpectedly, they suddenly attacked him.

"Signs of life, but unconscious, yet able to attack me? Manipulation of others? Is it mental manipulation or physical manipulation?"

At this moment, Yudou stood in the middle, surrounded by five or six Demon Slayer Corps members, who were holding Nichirin Blades and attacking him.

"This is a bit troublesome. If they were demons, I could just cut them. But as fellow Demon Slayer Corps members, cutting them would probably result in more than just a pay cut."

Faced with the attack of five or six Demon Slayer Corps members, Yudou could only try to dodge and quickly analyze their abilities.

Because he couldn't cut them, Yudou used his fists and feet to counterattack.

After several of Yudou's attacks, one of the Demon Slayer Corps members suddenly regained consciousness due to the pain and immediately told Yudou not to hold back.

They had previously been considerate of their comrades, which led to their mutual slaughter and total annihilation.
