Chapter Fifty-Six: He believed it, he truly believed it!

"When I first carried out a Demon Slayer Corps mission, you made me spare your life with a vague promise..."

At this moment, Bingye's mind went completely blank. Since becoming a ghost, he had never tried to communicate with other people like a human, let alone be in a subordinate position.

He could only passively follow Xia Yan's words and think accordingly.

"I...I just want to live..."

"Aren't you still alive now?"

Looking at Bingye's slightly confused eyes, Xia Yan's eyes revealed a cunning glint, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He quickly hid it, and Bingye didn't discover it.

"Then...then I want to live like this from today onwards. What price should I pay you?"

"Ill-fed Leaf asked somewhat hastily."

He was now completely absorbed in the promises Xia Yan had made for him, and he no longer considered how to resist or escape.

Upon hearing Byoyo's question, Natsuhiko stopped petting the bird, put Kikuko on his shoulder, and walked over to Byoyo with an unhappy expression.

“Disease-stricken leaves, oh, disease-stricken leaves…”

Xia Yan repeated Bingye's name in an exclamatory tone.

This behavior caused Bingye to experience a surge in psychological pressure, and she stared intently, following Xia Yan's movements.

"What did I do to make you disrespect me like this?"

"If you come to me as a friend, not only will you be able to live a good life, but you will also get rid of the other ghosts you don't like, as well as the other twelve ghost moons that are above you."

"Then you will be the strongest demon besides Muzan!"

Upon hearing this, Bingye's eyes lit up, as if he could already imagine himself being second only to all other demons.

"...to become...your friend..."

Bingye muttered something as she got up from the ground and looked at Xia Yan with a strange gaze.

Then, as if he had made some important decision, he took a deep breath.

"In that case, I only have one answer!"

Bingye knelt down in front of Xia Yan with a thud, knees together, head up and chest out, hands clasped on his thighs in a seated posture, then his hands were turned inwards and placed on the ground, his body leaned forward, and his upper body was raised until his forehead hit the ground.

"Lord Storm Pillar, I pledge my loyalty to you!!!"

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph—"

Seeing Byoyo, the sixth of the Twelve Demon Moons, kneeling before him in a standard dogeza and loudly proclaiming his allegiance, Natsuhiko let out a low laugh.

Then his smile gradually became more unrestrained.

"Hehehehe... Hahahahaha..."

"Hahaha... He believed it! He really believed it! He believed everything about this ghost!!! Hahahaha... This sick leaf is so funny!!!"

"Hehe... I'm dying of laughter! Lord Xia Yan, you did a great job! Hehe... You did a great job!"

Kikuko, the Kasugai crow perched on Natsuhiko's shoulder, also let out a mocking laugh in her charming voice.

The merciless mockery from the man and the bird left Bingye frozen in place.

"Fake...fake? It's all fake!? You're lying to me!? You lied to me!?"

He muttered to himself, looking at Xia Yan with some disbelief.

However, Bingye's behavior and her bewildered little eyes only earned her louder laughter from Xia Yan.

"Pfft, hahaha... Still don't get it? How could I possibly let you go! You're a ghost!"

In that instant, Bingye felt all the blood in his body rush into his head, and the blood vessels on his forehead bulged high, even bursting open and spurting out bright red blood.

"How dare you! How dare you humiliate me like this!! You've gone too far!!!"

"Hey, he's getting anxious, he's getting anxious!"

Seeing Ye's state, Xia Yan couldn't help but mock him.

The six-syllable mantra is indeed remarkably effective.

Although Bingye didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Xia Yan's words, for some reason, after hearing those words, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll eat you alive, leaving not a trace! I'll grind your bones to dust!!!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, completely disregarding the difference in strength between the two sides, and charged towards Xia Yan with a wooden kunai in his hand.

He had just stood up from the ground, and before he could take a second step, he discovered that his leg had been severed again.

His body, which had suddenly shrunk in size, fell to the ground again.

"Blood Demon Art: Absorbing Essence Technique!!"

After falling this time, Bingye did not get up. Instead, she braced herself with her hands on the ground and activated her Blood Demon Art.

In an instant, all the plants within a 20-meter radius withered and decayed at a visible speed, as if they had been sprayed with defoliant by the US military, and a putrid smell filled the air.

On the other hand, Bingye seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, his blood vessels bulged, his muscles were highly swollen, and his whole body looked like it had been skinned, showing a strange crimson color.

He transformed from a short man who was less than 1.5 meters tall into a giant who was nearly 3 meters tall, and his severed legs regenerated instantly.

This terrifying recovery speed even surpasses the limits of the Lower Moon Demons, and is almost comparable to the regeneration speed of Upper Moon Three Akaza.

Chapter 57 Playing it safe can make things easier for yourself

"Kill you! Kill you!"

The diseased leaf roared and pounced on Xia Yan.

Although his strength and speed have both increased dramatically, he seems to have lost all rationality in this state, and can only keep repeating these three words.

This made Xia Yan instantly feel that he had lost the fun he was supposed to have.

After all, what's the point of playing if someone just keeps charging straight at the wooden stake without dodging or evading?

"Has your mind gone?"

Xia Yan frowned as he spoke, and at the same time, he severed Bingye's limbs again, causing him to fall to the ground in a stick-like position.

Despite having its limbs severed, Bingye struggled and roared on the ground, and regenerated its limbs in just three seconds.

He had just gotten up from the ground when a dazzling sword light flashed in the next second.

This time, Bingye lost more than just his limbs.

wow-

The once giant-like leaf instantly collapsed like a Lego brick that had been knocked over.

All that could be seen was that he and his torso below the chest were reduced to pieces of almost equal size, which were scattered all over the ground. Then, due to the Nichirin Blade, they turned into ashes and dissipated in the night wind.

The regeneration of the diseased leaves slowed down significantly, taking nearly ten seconds to complete, and it seemed that the regeneration was not going to be sustainable.

And this seemed to have exhausted Bingye's strength, as he was visibly panting.

"So that's how it is. It's because it absorbed the life force of the surrounding plants through Blood Demon Art to strengthen its body and increase its regeneration speed."

"Ha, I thought it would be really powerful, but it turns out it's all show and no substance."

Seeing that he had already given up after only two hits, Xia Yan chuckled and curled his lips in disdain.

Sacrificing reason for maximum physical enhancement may seem appealing, but it is actually a rather dangerous practice.

After all, once you lose the ability to think, it's easy for someone to stall for time and wear you down through this enhanced state.

They might even be led into a pre-arranged trap.

"I am going to kill you!"

The diseased leaves roared once again, launching a suicidal attack.

Unlike before, when he was a coward and only thought about escaping and hiding, after losing his mind, he became unusually brave. Even though he knew he was no match for him, he still charged at Xia Yan once again.

The result speaks for itself.

It turned into building blocks again and covered the ground. If the parts that were cut off by the Nichirin Blade hadn't turned to ashes as if scorched by the sun, this place probably wouldn't be a place where anyone could stand.

This time, the diseased leaf took even longer to complete its regeneration.

Perhaps because most of the life force he had plundered from the plants had been depleted, his eyes regained their clarity and he was no longer as frantic as before.

Upon regaining his composure, Bingye chose to turn and run away.

"I have to escape! I absolutely have to escape!!"

"This man is someone I absolutely cannot contend with. Even when I had just absorbed a large amount of plant life force and entered a berserk state where my speed and strength were at their peak, I still couldn't touch the hem of his clothes."

"There was no way to resist, so we had to find a way to escape!"

Thinking of this, Bingye started running wildly through the forest, using both hands and feet.

Although he was in a state of irrationality just now, he did not lose his memory. After regaining his senses, he still remembered the things he did when he went berserk.

The other party, with an ease more effortless than harvesting crops, effortlessly tore himself to pieces.

Bingye still remembers all of these things.

At this point, he had completely lost the courage to face Xia Yan.

But before he could run very far, that familiar pain once again surged through his body and into his brain.

as predicted.

The next second, the diseased leaves fell out in pieces once again.

"Really, really, don't think about running away as soon as you regain consciousness. Try to think of other ways sometimes."

Xia Yan, carrying his oversized Nichirin Blade, strolled leisurely out from the side of Bingye.

His tone was full of teasing.

This time, it seems that most of the life force it had just absorbed had been consumed. Although the regeneration speed of the diseased leaf was still a bit faster than usual, it could no longer maintain that giant-like posture.
