The newly grown bluish-gray arms seemed to have realized the intentions of Oku Seiko and Igarashi Ten.
The several bluish-gray arms condensed into a bluish-gray mass of flesh, which was constantly swelling and seemed to be accumulating power.
Then, a bluish-gray arm suddenly shot out from the bluish-gray mass of flesh, like a bullet leaving the barrel, and quickly flew towards Saint Ao and the others.
Moreover, the bluish-gray arm continued to split as it flew, splitting into five bluish-gray arms in the blink of an eye, each grabbing one of the five members of the Holy Son.
Although Ao Shengzi and the others, who were running desperately, noticed the abnormality and sensed the danger, they dared not stop. They could only keep running forward and trust Chen Anxia, who had previously displayed godlike power.
And Chen Anxia did not disappoint them.
At the critical moment, Chen Anxia stepped forward. Looking at the bluish-gray arms that were wrapping around him and splitting apart, he didn't hesitate at all. He drew his sword and slashed, severing the bluish-gray arms.
After severing the several bluish-gray arms, Chen Anxia unleashed his lightning-fast movement, disappearing from his spot and darting through the dark forest like lightning, tracing the bluish-gray arms back to their source.
Soon, Chen Anxia saw a man-eating demon that was four or five meters tall, with a large body and its body made up of bluish-gray arms of varying sizes.
Chen Anxia knew that this was the extraordinary man-eating demon, the Hand Demon, from Tengxi Mountain.
Even Chen Anxia was momentarily stunned upon seeing the Hand Ghost, overwhelmed by its grotesque and terrifying appearance.
Although Chen Anxia had seen the Hand Ghost in the original work, watching anime and seeing the real thing are two completely different concepts.
Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand the immense pressure, suffocation, and fear emanating from the hand demon before you.
Chen Anxia believed that if Ou Shengzi, Igarashi Ten, and others were to face the Hand Demon directly, or even be attacked without the Hand Demon's intervention, their mental will would collapse due to the powerful sense of oppression, suffocation, and fear brought by the Hand Demon.
This is normal. In the original story, even those who participated in the final trial of the Demon Slayer were on the verge of collapse when they saw the Hand Demon, let alone the players who had just arrived in this world.
The Hand Demon also noticed Chen Anxia and the Nichirin Blade in Chen Anxia's hand. Its huge eyes with cross-shaped pupils narrowed slightly, and it said, "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. A new round of final tests is coming."
"I wonder if any little devils wearing fox masks will participate this time."
"Hehe, I can't wait, I can't wait..."
As it spoke, the Hand Demon's mouth, formed from its arms, curled up slightly, saying, "I'm getting hungry from anticipation. Before we find the imp wearing the fox mask, let's have some appetizers first..."
While the Hand Ghost was speaking, Chen Anxia remained silent, only looking at the Hand Ghost.
At the same time, Chen Anxia's analytical eye (not fully open) was fully activated as he tried to analyze the data information of the ghost.
Soon, the Eye of Analysis (not fully completed) returned the analyzed data to Chen Anxia.
Through the data analyzed by the Eye of Analysis (incomplete), Chen Anxia knew that the Hand Ghost's overall physical qualities were five times that of an ordinary person.
Among them, the Hand Demon's strength is 5.5 times that of an ordinary person, but its movement speed is only 0.5 times that of an ordinary person.
In other words, strength is the Hand Demon's strength, while speed is its weakness.
This is only the data for the Hand Demon under normal conditions. If the Hand Demon condenses and expands as before, accumulating the power of its arm, and then shoots out like a bullet, then the power of the Hand Demon will increase even further.
In addition to that, there's the hardness of the hand ghost's neck.
According to the data analyzed by the Eye of Analysis (incomplete), the hardness of the Hand Demon's Neck is actually higher than that of the Nichirin Blade in Chen Anxia's hand.
This also means that, under normal circumstances, Chen Anxia's Nichirin Blade cannot sever the neck of the Hand Demon.
Unless Chen Anxia can find the weakness in the Hand Ghost's neck.
Just like in the original work, Tanjiro Kamado used his superhuman sense of smell to find the scent gap that represented the weakness of the Hand Demon, and then used the scent gap to cut off the Hand Demon's neck.
Although Chen Anxia does not have Tanjiro Kamado's super sense of smell, he does have the super insightful vision to know Atobe Keigo.
In the world of "The Prince of Tennis", Keigo Atobe continuously develops his insightful vision and even creates a powerful technique called "Atobe Kingdom".
The technique 'Atobe Kingdom' allows you to see through all of your opponent's joints and bones, and counterattack from the absolute blind spots that your opponent's joints and bones cannot reach.
In Chen Anxia's memory, in the world of "Demon Slayer", there are techniques similar to those of "Atobe Kingdom".
The name of this move is... Transparent World!
......
Chapter 484 So this is the Transparent World! (Please subscribe!)
Chen Anxia knew the potential of his insightful vision.
Without a doubt, Atobe Keigo's Atobe Kingdom has entered the realm of the extraordinary.
While in the world of Detective Conan, Chen Anxia was also constantly trying to develop his potential for insightful vision.
But no matter how hard Chen Anxia tried, he couldn't reach the same level of extraordinary insight as Atobe Keigo.
Chen Anxia was confident that, in terms of talent alone, his talent was no less than that of Atobe Keigo.
Therefore, Chen Anxia did not understand where he was lacking and why he could never take that step.
Chen Anxia also had some speculations about this.
The first guess is that it is a talent ability derived from a physique that becomes stronger when faced with stronger opponents, and its potential is limited.
The second guess is the limitation of world rules.
Perhaps in the world of Detective Conan, the pinnacle of insightful vision is the level that Chen Anxia can achieve.
This is a limitation imposed by the rules of the world, which is why Chen Anxia was never able to take that step in the Detective Conan world.
The third guess...
Now, in the world of Demon Slayer, Chen Anxia wants to try again to see if he can take that crucial step with his perception and enter the realm of the extraordinary.
If we can't take that crucial step in the world of Demon Slayer, then we can rule out the second guess.
Because in the world of Demon Slayer, there are techniques similar to, or even surpassing, those of Atobe Kingdom.
This move is called "Transparent World".
Chen Anxia recalled that in the setting of "Demon Slayer", the Transparent World is the world that can be seen when the mind becomes transparent. It is the highest realm that can only be reached after struggling with all one's might and enduring pain.
In a transparent world, the bodies of living things appear almost transparent, with bones and muscles clearly visible.
Tanjiro Kamado's all-seeing eye allows him to clearly see even the flow of blood.
Moreover, in the state of a transparent world, the body's perception and control will be enhanced to the limit, thereby making one's speed of action, ability to predict and avoid attacks reach an incredible level.
In the original work, Tanjiro Kamado's father, in his Transparent World state, was even able to sense the bear's tracks while sleeping, thus killing the bear before it could threaten his family.
In Chen Anxia's view, this was somewhat similar to Observation Haki in the world of One Piece, but it was also different from Observation Haki.
Compared to the Transparent World, the Atobe Kingdom is naturally stronger.
Or rather, the Atobe Kingdom can be considered a weakened version of the Transparent World.
Therefore, in the world of Demon Slayer, where a transparent world exists, there is no world rule that suppresses this aspect.
......
In an instant, a variety of thoughts flashed through Chen Anxia's mind.
Just as Chen Anxia was pondering, the Hand Ghost launched its attack.
Several arms suddenly shot out from the Hand Ghost's body, grabbing at Chen Anxia simultaneously.
Moreover, as these arms shot out, new arms continued to split off.
Within moments, more than a dozen arms, like a net, rushed towards Chen Anxia from the front and from different directions.
Chen Anxia remained unmoved, holding two Nichirin swords, one long and one short, and assumed a starting stance.
In the eyes of the Hand Ghost, Chen Anxia's movements changed from the starting stance to the finishing stance in an instant, and the process of drawing and slashing the sword in the middle seemed to be skipped.
This scene stunned the Hand Ghost. If his arm hadn't actually been severed, the Hand Ghost would probably have thought that Chen Anxia hadn't even drawn his sword to strike.
At the same time, Hand Ghost also realized that Chen Anxia was probably not so easy to deal with.
But the Ghost Hand was confident that Chen Anxia could not sever his own neck.
As long as Chen Anxia cannot sever his neck, he will be invincible, no matter how strong Chen Anxia is.
But Chen Anxia is ultimately human, and his strength will eventually run out.
As long as he can hold off Chen Anxia and exhaust his strength, he can once again taste the flesh and blood of a human genius.
Thinking of the taste of the flesh and blood of human geniuses he had previously savored, the Hand Demon's mouth, which was entirely made of arms, couldn't help but slightly open, revealing a pitch-black cave full of mucus.
The hand ghost didn't make any move; it simply looked at Chen Anxia with its cross-shaped pupils in a mocking manner.
Chen Anxia seemed to sense something and continued to step forward.
With each step Chen Anxia took, his figure would appear several meters away.
Just as Chen Anxia took his second step, the ground where he had been standing suddenly cracked and bulged.
The next moment, more than a dozen arms suddenly burst out of the ground and rushed toward Chen Anxia.
During this process, the dozen or so arms quickly merged, converging into a huge, thick giant hand that reached straight for Chen Anxia.
Seeing this, Chen Anxia took a deep breath and stopped unleashing the invisible slashes, which meant he stopped slashing with lightning speed.
Because, in its pursuit of speed, it neglects power, as swift as the wind.
With its swift and powerful strikes, it was impossible to sever this giant hand.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia moved through the Shrinking Earth Technique, quickly appearing beside the enormous, thick hand and slashing at it.
Aggression...like fire!
Immediately, it seemed as if scorching flames ignited in the void, following Chen Anxia's slash, leaving a fiery trail that burned everything in the void.
The giant hand of the Hand Demon was severed as easily as paper by Chen Anxia's slash.
After severing the giant hand of the Hand Demon, Chen Anxia did not stop. He used the Shrinking Earth Technique again and quickly rushed towards the Hand Demon.
During this process, Chen Anxia's deep eyes looked at the Hand Ghost.
This time, Chen Anxia's perspective underwent an unprecedented change.
In Chen Anxia's vision, he could clearly see the joints and bones inside the Hand Ghost's body.
Chen Anxia knew that he had succeeded; his insightful vision, like that of Atobe Keigo, had reached an extraordinary level.
Moreover, Chen Anxia could clearly see the internal organs, blood vessels, and blood flowing within the Hand Ghost's body.
A sudden realization dawned on Chen Anxia, and he murmured, "A state of complete mental concentration, extraordinary insight, a state of selflessness..."
"So, I already possessed the key to unlock the door to the Transparent World..."
