Chapter 81 Hero saves beauty

"You are very good."

Doma touched his neck, a cruel smile spreading across his face.

The blood within her body circulated rapidly, condensing into even more terrifying ice crystals, forming a barrage of fire that poured towards Kanae Butterfly.

Kanae Butterfly looked at the overwhelming ice crystals, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes. She lightly touched the ground with her feet and quickly dodged like a butterfly.

The butterfly hair accessory fluttered in the wind.

However, the gap between the pillar and the Upper Moon Two is still too great.

Even when Kanae Kocho went all out and used her Nichirin Blade to fight against the ice crystals, she still made a momentary mistake.

The ice crystals formed by the Blood Demon Art seized upon Kanae's slightest weakness at an extremely strange angle, about to strike her body...

With a flick of his finger, Upper Moon Two Doma unleashed a torrent of ice crystals, formed using his Blood Demon Art, towards Kanae Kocho like a raging flood.

Faced with the dense ice crystals, even using her Nichirin Blade, Kocho Kaguya was unable to completely block them, and a look of despair appeared on her face.

There is still a huge gap between the pillar level and the second moon.

As he watched his Blood Demon Art conjure ice crystals, which were about to strike Kanae's delicate body, a cruel smile appeared in Doma's eyes.

It seems that he secretly enjoys the thrill of seeing ice crystals pierce through Demon Slayer Corps members and then witnessing their agonizing cries.

Just then, a figure appeared in front of Kanae Kocho like lightning and grabbed her slender waist.

By avoiding the ice crystal that was about to strike Kanae Butterfly's fair cheek, they created some distance.

Finally, the figure slightly raised its long right leg and stomped forward.

With the support of internal energy, the seemingly effortless movements unleashed extremely powerful force.

The moment the true energy and the Blood Demon Technique came into contact, it was as if an invisible shockwave spread out.

The ice crystals formed by the Blood Demon Technique were extremely ferocious.

However, it shatters instantly like fragile glass in the face of what appears to be an inconspicuous, thin layer of true energy shield.

Fragments scattered and flew everywhere, flashing an eerie red light in the air before gradually dissipating.

Kanae Butterfly stared in astonishment at Lin Yao beside her, her heart pounding wildly.

She could hardly believe her eyes; the attack that had just filled her with despair had been so easily neutralized.

She remembered the boy; her first impression of him was quite good. He seemed like a trustworthy peer, so she told him to take Shinobu Kocho and leave quickly.

But now, Kanae Butterfly feels an unprecedented sense of security with Lin Yao, like the parents who sheltered her from the wind and rain when she was a child, like a family member.

As for Shinobu Kocho, who was standing to Lin Yao's left, holding his hand, she glanced at Lin Yao's face, her purple eyes filled with disbelief.

Her small mouth opened slightly; she really hadn't expected Lin Yao's strength to be so terrifying.

The seemingly frail figure possesses such immense power.

That was a demon-slaying technique used by an Upper Moon demon!

It would take at least three pillars to withstand an Upper Moon demon!

A storm raged within her, and shock spread through her heart.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Doma saw that his Blood Demon Art, Lin Yao, was blocking his way, preventing him from enjoying the spectacular scene of ice crystals piercing through flesh.

His smile grew even brighter, but his pupils were filled with extreme coldness.

Doma's pupils, etched with the image of Upper Moon Two, stared intently at Lin Yao, as if he were contemplating how to torture him later.

However, his own powerful senses caused a faint unease to well up within him.

This made him frown slightly, thinking it was impossible.

Even if all three Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps attacked together, they might not be able to defeat him.

The injured flower pillar in front of him, along with Lin Yao, were clearly no match for him in terms of strength.

"wrong."

Just as she was silent, Kanae Butterfly felt a warmth coming from her slender waist. She gradually realized what was happening and her body stiffened slightly.

A blush crept onto her fair face, and her heart began to race.

This was the first time he had ever been so close to a boy, except for his own father.

Because of the nature of Lin Yao's Body of Ten Thousand Fires, he constantly dispels the toxins produced in his body, so he has a fresh aura of nature on his body.

As Kanae Butterfly smelled the fresh scent and felt the unfamiliar yet warm touch of Lin Yao against her body, she felt a little shy and flustered.

"What's the relationship between Shinobu and him? Why are they holding hands so intimately?!"

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Shinobu Kocho, who was holding Lin Yao's hand beside her. Seeing their tightly clasped hands, a wave of embarrassment washed over her.

Not knowing how to face her sister's gaze, her eyes were filled with complex emotions, and her heart was in turmoil.

She wanted to break free from Lin Yao's embrace, yet she also felt a strange sense of security in this dangerous situation.

These conflicting emotions intertwined within her, plunging her into an indescribable predicament.

As for Shinobu Kocho, she also noticed her older sister's gaze in this tense situation.

Following her gaze downwards, she saw her own hand tightly clasped with Lin Yao's.

"what……"

Shinobu Kocho then realized what was happening, and her heart skipped a beat.

Feeling the warmth emanating from my palm, my heart involuntarily quickened its pace.

She, so dashing and spirited, should have felt shy and annoyed at first.

But when she looked at the handsome young man beside her, she had a subtle feeling that it was okay as it was.

While lost in these thoughts, Shinobu Kocho noticed out of the corner of her eye that her older sister, Lin Yao, had her arm around her slender waist.

That shy and embarrassed look stirred up a complex emotion in her heart.

"You guys from the Demon Slayer Corps really know how to play the hero and save the damsel in distress."

Just as the Butterfly sisters were lost in thought, Doma, with a cold smile on his pale face, stared intently at Lin Yao.

His words carried a hint of sarcasm.

"...My name is Lin Yao. May I ask your names?"

Lin Yao felt the warm, cool sensation from his left hand and the soft, delicate touch from his right, and his heart trembled slightly, feeling a reluctance to let go.

He ignored Doma's barking.

If it were the Demon King Muzan in front of you, it would be somewhat interesting, but this mere Upper Moon Two is just an insect that you can crush with a flick of your wrist.

Right now, in Lin Yao's heart, the most important people are the gentle and shy Kocho Kanae and the heroic yet slightly shy Kocho Shinobu.

So, with his left hand still holding hers and his right hand still around her, he pretended to be oblivious and looked at the two women beside him, asking them a question.

"Lin Yao, that's a good name..."

Kanae and Shinobu exchanged a glance, a certain emotion within them prompting them to think that Lin Yao's name was quite nice.
