Chapter 124 Regret, Despair.
Li Lei followed Qianxun out of curiosity, wanting to see who it was that claimed to know him, since he had no recollection of them at all.

On the mountainside of Mount Natagumo, Chigusa controlled the female ghost dressed in a dark green top, carefully watching her to guard against any tricks she might make. After all, she couldn't conclude that the ghost knew the adults based on just a few words.
With such immense power, it was impossible for the adult to know her, but fearing she might actually know him, Chigusa had no choice but to ask her younger sister, Chihiro, to invite Li Lei to come and see if what she said was true. If it was true, all would be well; if not, then her fate...
Chigusa could only chuckle. So far, no demon had dared to deceive Lower Moon One Rui. Chigusa couldn't imagine what the master would do to her; anyone or any demon who deceived Lower Moon One Rui never had a good ending.
Just then, the sounds of fighting and shouting from the side pulled Chigusa back to reality from her thoughts.
"Damn it, this ghost bear is tall, big, and has thick hide. It's too hard to kill."
Five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen relentlessly attacked Kuro, who had grown to seven or eight meters tall.
Looking towards the source of the fighting sounds, Chigusa saw Kuro locked in combat with five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen. This scene greatly worried Chigusa about Kuro's safety.
Just now, when he asked Chihiro to inform Li Lei, five or six members of the Demon Slayer Corps suddenly arrived here, specifically requesting to kill him and the female ghost controlled by Xiao Hei.
As female ghosts who might know Li Lei, how could Chigusa and Kuro possibly agree to the demands of the five Demon Slayer Corps members?
These Demon Slayers were there to hunt down the female demon, who had come to their aid by eating people. The Demon Slayers, alerted by her, tasked her with eliminating the demon using their Kasugai crows. However, due to their lack of strength, they teamed up to hunt her down.
However, for some unknown reason, they caused the female ghost to run to Mount Natagumo, where she was encountered by Chihiro Chigusa and Kuro.
The female ghost was immediately attracted to Chigusa and Chihiro by their rare blood type and wanted to eat them, since rare blood is extremely attractive to ghosts.
However, the female ghost had no idea that Qiancao and Xiaohei were much stronger than her. The female ghost rushed forward to eat people, but before she could even touch them, she was defeated by Qiancao and Xiaohei in a few moves.
The female ghost, who was defeated in just a few moves, realized the seriousness of the situation. She had been blinded by the smell of blood and dared to attack without even knowing how strong her opponent was. Wasn't that just courting death?
The female ghost regretted it.
Is it too late to back out now? At this moment, the female ghost desperately wanted to choose again. If God gave her another chance, she definitely wouldn't act; if she were to act, she would wait until they were alone.
However, every cloud has a silver lining, and the female ghost found a way to survive: she heard from the adult who seemed to be one of the Twelve Demon Moons when they captured her.
The female ghost had a sudden idea. She lied and said she knew their adults so that they wouldn't dare to kill her. She was waiting for the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen who were chasing her to arrive. She would use them to deal with the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen who were chasing her, so that she could take advantage of the chaos to escape.
The female ghost secretly rejoiced at this thought. "I can escape now!" However—an unexpected event occurred!
The female ghost was incredibly annoyed by the human staring intently at her. Why wasn't he, with his rare blood and Demon Slayer Breathing, going to help that demon bear? What was he doing just staring at her like that? If this continued, would she even be able to keep running away?
"My lord, aren't you going to help your companion? He looks so dangerous. Those swordsmen are experts at killing ghosts," the female ghost said to Chigusa with a concerned expression.
"It's alright, Kuro is very powerful. These Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen can't kill him."
Chigusa said with a determined look in her eyes, her gaze never leaving the female ghost for even a second.
Female ghost: "..."
Is it really necessary? You're staring at me without even blinking. How afraid are you that I'll run away? Although I do want to run away, I haven't done anything about it yet.
On the other side, on the dust-filled battlefield, Kuro, taking advantage of his size, fought fiercely against five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, raising clouds of dust in the air.
With his powerful regenerative abilities, Kuro recovered immediately from any injury and fought a fierce battle with five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.
However, Kuro was not happy with this record. Because of his size, he had a hard time fighting against the Demon Slayer Corps members who could use breathing techniques and were agile.
If he doesn't go all out, he'll have a hard time hitting the five Demon Slayer Corps members. But if he does go all out, he might not be able to control his power and could kill them, because his master would definitely not agree to that. His master once gave him an order: as long as they are not Demon Slayer Corps members or ordinary people who can threaten his life, he should not kill them.
Kuro always obeyed this order, but he never understood why it had to be done this way. Demons and the Demon Slayer Corps were enemies, after all. How could his master, the strongest Lower Moon demon, make such a bizarre request? Kuro couldn't understand it.
For this reason, Kuro dislikes fighting against the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps the most. Every time they fight, he gets slashed by their swords. Although he is a demon and can recover quickly, the places where he is slashed still hurt, and Kuro really dislikes this feeling.
Kuro hates the Demon Slayer Corps members who come to Mount Natagumo for no reason. It's really frustrating that they can't go all out in fights.
"Damn it, damn it, you damned human swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, why do you always come to Mount Natagumo to disturb my life?"
"Have any of your swordsmen died here? There aren't many reports of people dying here, so why do you all keep coming here? What did I do to offend you?"
Kuro kept swinging his arms and slamming them against the ground with all his might, venting his anger. The powerful force caused the surrounding ground to tremble. The five Demon Slayer Corps members were quite frightened by this action.
"Could it be that this demon bear wasn't using its full strength during the fight? This—how could that be? It can't be like that." The five men swallowed hard, their Nichirin Blades trembling uncontrollably.
"It's fake, it must be fake! It can't be that strong!" The five people holding Nichirin Blades kept encouraging themselves, but none of them dared to step forward and attack Kuro.
After all, the five of them didn't want to die, and after seeing that they didn't attack, Xiao Hei calmed down and glared at them fiercely.
The two sides tacitly agreed to a ceasefire and switched to exchanging glances, staring at each other intently. The little black bear held its own against the five.
As long as they don't start fighting now, both sides feel good. Kuro is afraid of accidentally killing them if he uses his full strength, so he doesn't want to fight. The five members of the Demon Slayer Corps are afraid of being killed by Kuro's power just now, so they dare not fight.
At this moment, both sides have surprisingly aligned goals.
"Hahaha, Xiao Hei, what are you doing staring at those five? Are you exchanging tips from the battle?"
Li Lei, accompanied by Qianxun, walked through the air on a path woven from silk threads, shimmering white in the moonlight, looking extremely handsome (in Li Lei's own opinion).
A gust of wind swept in, causing Li Lei's clothes to flutter and dance in the wind. His white hair, which was partially covering his left eye, was pulled by the wind and swayed backward, revealing the two characters "一" (一) under his left eye.
"Lower Moon One! Lower Moon One of the Twelve Demon Moons! We're doomed, we're doomed!"
"Impossible, impossible, this is impossible! Why would there be a waning crescent moon here?"
After seeing the next part of Li Lei's left eye, the five members of the Demon Slayer Corps' mental state plummeted to its lowest point. Two of them even began to experience mental breakdowns.
