Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 176 The Death of the Hand Demon

"Makomo, it seems our lives are coming to an end here."

Sabito spoke to Makomo with a slightly apologetic tone, then cut off the attacking arm. His exhausted body was so weak at this moment that he was accidentally touched by the Hand Demon's arm.

Seeing this, Makomo immediately blocked the attack for Sabito, but she herself was almost grabbed by the Hand Demon's arm. Fortunately, she dodged quickly and only her clothes were torn.

Seeing this, the Hand Demon grinned, knowing that the two people in front of him were already doomed, and that he could kill them if he made a move now.

Just when the Ghost was overjoyed and felt victory was in his grasp, an unexpected situation occurred that he had never thought of and would never have imagined.

The hand ghost's body suddenly stiffened, and apart from its eyes and mouth, it could not move its entire body.

Hand Ghost: "What is this?! What's going on? Why can't I move?"

Hand Demon was filled with extreme fear. This had just happened once before, when he had thought it was the work of Urokodaki's apprentice with the severed arm and flesh-colored hair.

It now seems that there must have been other people secretly observing us from the moment we left until now.

"Who's there? Come out right now, I see you."

The Hand Demon's eyes darted around, searching for any suspicious figures, but it found that all around it were broken trees, with nowhere to hide.

The ghost became even more frightened and used all its strength to try to break free from the motionless body.

But the ghost soon discovered that it had no effect at all; his body was as immovable as a rock.

This situation, which was beyond the Hand Ghost's comprehension, plunged him into endless panic. He kept telling himself not to be afraid, that it would pass soon.

Hand Ghost: It's alright, the stiffness is only temporary, it will be fine in a while.

Seeing the strange behavior of the hand ghost remaining motionless, and its panicked mental state.

Sabito and Makomo were momentarily confused about his situation. What had happened to the Hand Demon who had been dominating just moments before?

However, they knew one thing: from the Hand Ghost's terrified tone, they knew there were other people around, and that they had saved them.

What puzzled Sabito and Makomo was that there was nowhere to hide around.

Makomo: "Sabito, are there any other people around? I didn't notice them at all."

Makomo looked at Sabito with a puzzled expression and asked.

Qintu: Don't look at me, I didn't see anyone hiding around either.

With a "smash"

Just as the two were questioning each other, a sudden change occurred in the direction where the Hand Demon was located. A bright red blade pierced through the Hand Demon's body, and the Hand Demon's body instantly withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The attacked hand demon struggled to turn around and saw the attacker, immediately revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Big……"

Before he could even utter a word, he was instantly cleaved in two from bottom to top by a red sword light.

Sabito and Makomo were stunned by what they saw. However, what puzzled them was that the Hand Demon, which had been split in two, did not spurt out any blood, and looked like a dried-up corpse.

At this moment, the hand ghost, now split in two, looked at the figure behind it with a bewildered expression, and turned into ashes.

Right after the Hand Demon disappeared, in his original spot stood a boy with shoulder-length white hair. The boy wore a white kimono with a black spiderweb pattern and held a samurai sword with a blade as red as blood.

She smiled at Makomo and Sabito, as if she knew them.

"It's been a long time since we last met. How have you been?"

Li Lei greeted Qian Tu and Zhen Gu with a smile.

"you are?"

Sabito and Makomo exchanged a glance, realizing from each other's equally puzzled looks that neither of them recognized the boy in front of them.

"Oh—I almost forgot, you haven't seen what I really look like yet, and you don't know who I am."

Li Lei put the samurai sword, which was transformed from his own parasitic flesh, into his body and scratched his head to cover up his embarrassment.
