"Blood, the smell of blood..." The massive chunks of flesh crowded together, surging towards him even more frantically, like a mountain of meat.
"Blood Demon Art: Blood Coagulation Net."
Genya waved his hand, scattering the blood flowing from his arm. The drops of fresh blood rapidly stretched out in mid-air.
Soon, the drops connected to each other, forming a spider web that covered the massive mountain of meat.
The crimson spider web covered the mountain of meat, and starting from the point of contact, visible crimson ice rapidly spread, quickly covering the entire mountain of meat.
"Can't... can't move..."
The demons on the mountain of meat let out difficult sounds. The heads emerging from the mountain of meat gradually stiffened with the arrival of the crimson ice crystals.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the mountain of meat, which had been moving smoothly, came to a halt. Its body slowly pressed against the corridor and remained motionless.
The entire mountain of meat had completely turned into a crimson iceberg.
"So strong..." Genya gulped. He hadn't expected that just a little blood would be enough to restrain such a massive blob of demons.
Genya didn't become complacent because of this; these demons were only temporarily Sealed and not yet dead.
Neck... where is the neck?
Genya was momentarily stunned. Heads were popping up everywhere on the surface of this meat mountain. Did he really have to chop off all these heads?
If he had to chop them, when would he finish?
Genya didn't waste time, waving his hand again. The blood from his arm spilled out, suspended in mid-air as if frozen.
Genya clenched his five fingers loosely: "Blood Demon Art: Blood Coagulation Needle Valve."
The stationary blood drops began to twist restlessly, turning into ovals for a moment, and then being stretched into needle points.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
The blood spikes, stretched to the size of needles, flew one by one towards the mountain of meat frozen into an iceberg. The slender attacks, multiplied by sheer numbers, poured down like a torrential rain.
Soon, the mountain of meat was pierced through and gradually worn away, ground into tiny, fragmented ice crystals.
The largest ice fragments were no bigger than quail eggs, completely insufficient to meet the conditions for regeneration.
As the bodies and heads were destroyed, the enormous physique composed of many demons gradually turned into dust.
Genya gasped slightly, his body trembling a little.
Wielding Young Miss Mizuki's ability was not easy. Even now that he had developed some resistance, after swallowing that strand of long hair, his body felt like it couldn't quite handle it.
He couldn't digest it properly... "I can't waste time, I must quickly find that guy's main body." Genya took a breath and gently closed his eyes.
If his natural senses couldn't successfully detect the location of that thing's main body, then by swallowing Young Miss Mizuki's hair, he should be able to meet that requirement.
As expected, his senses, which had originally been obstructed by the dense demonic aura, were now, with Mizuki's ability enhancement, like threads obstructing perception being peeled away one by one, revealing his original target.
When that thread of sensation fed back from afar, Genya suddenly opened his eyes. His pair of golden Double Pupils shone brightly.
"Found it!"
Genya turned the corner with firm steps, braced his hand against the railing in front of the corridor, and let his entire body fall freely downwards.
The falling wind whipped against Genya, yet it did not affect his perception of the aura in the slightest.
"The aura is deeper down." Genya shielded his eyes from the wind, looked down, seized the opportunity to grab the railing below, and jumped onto the corridor.
"A human! A Demon Slayer!"
"A demon, it's a demon's aura!"
Just as Genya stepped onto the corridor, the voices of many demons echoed from the rooms within the building.
Bang!!!
With a bang, the door in front of the corridor was smashed open, and demons rushed out, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
Genya frowned. This truly was a demon's nest, filled entirely with the figures of evil spirits.
Any Demon Slayer entering alone would likely only end up exhausting their stamina and dying here.
"Human? Or demon?" Some demons hesitated, uncertain of Genya's identity.
Genya suddenly lowered his body and slapped his right palm onto the ground.
"Blood Demon Art: Needle Valve Hell!"
Accompanied by his sharp shout, strands of blood rapidly spread out from his palm towards the direction of the demons.
"What? This guy is a demon, right?" Some demons retreated in surprise and uncertainty.
However, the blood spread too quickly, and compounded by their crowded state, it soon reached their feet.
Ice spikes rose from the ground, piercing the bodies of the demons.
"It hurts! It hurts so much! Damn brat!"
When it came to understanding Mizuki's Blood Demon Art, if Genya claimed to be second, only Mizuki would dare to claim first.
Although it appeared to be a Blood Demon Art that attacked enemies in the form of ice, its essence was the ability to manipulate blood.
If one insisted on extending it toward the direction of ice, it was only due to the shaping ability and the inherent coldness.
Genya slowly stood up, his Nichirin Blade having been drawn from his waist at some unknown point.
Genya walked towards the demons whose bodies were immobilized ahead. As his figure moved, the heads of the demons were severed one by one.
It had nothing to do with Breathing Techniques or Sword Forms; he simply walked over, hacking down at the demons' heads with strike after strike.
"Hoo..." A few drops of cold sweat hung on Genya's temples.
This power was astonishing, and the burden was incomparable to that of consuming ordinary demons.
He could even feel his craving for meat becoming more severe, and saliva involuntarily drooled from the corner of his mouth.
The stronger the demon, the stronger the ability he gained, and correspondingly, the greater the influence he suffered.
He had to end the battle quickly, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to guarantee that he could remain calm indefinitely.
Genya dared not linger and ran towards the corner of the corridor.
Outside an inconspicuous room past the corner, Genya suddenly kicked out. The door was sent flying and struck the interior door with a loud bang, smashing a large hole in the room.
"Eek!!"
The small figure crouching on the ground, hunched over and covering its head, let out a startled cry.
"Found it!" Genya's pupils slightly contracted. Just as he was about to step forward, the small Hantengu figure, representing the main body, quickly stood up and escaped through the hole he had smashed open.
"Damn it!" Genya cursed under his breath and immediately chased after it.
This demon had no other skills, but its head was astonishingly hard, and it ran like the wind!
But the Genya of today was not on the same level as the Genya from the Swordsmith Village arc.
He closely followed Hantengu over the ruins, and as his gaze swept around, he spotted Hantengu still running away not far in front.
Genya's eyes were fixed firmly on the short figure.
The mistakes made back in the Swordsmith Village would be compensated for this time.
He stepped forward, the wooden floorboard cracking completely, and his figure vanished from sight.
"Eek~" Hantengu fled forward in fright, not forgetting to look back and observe the movement behind him.
He then saw Genya's figure rushing toward him like an arrow shot from a bow, and couldn't help but let out another howl.
