Chapter 18 The Pillar of Flame - Purgatory New North
"Brother?" A familiar back figure appeared in front of him, and Su Yu immediately recognized him as Yanzhu Purgatory Anjurou in the original work, because the feathers and hairstyles of the two were very similar, and could even be said to be exactly the same.
But then I thought about it, this is the cultural era, and it is more than a hundred years away from the Taisho era where Purgatory Anjuro lived, so how could it be him?
The Purgatory Family has been a member of the Demon Slayer Squad since the Warring States Period, and most of the flame pillars have been filled by people with the Purgatory surname. Although the young man in front of him is not Purgatory Kyōjuro, he is definitely a member of the Purgatory Family.
"What's going on with that guy? Does he look like this? Is he from the Purgatory Family?" Hiiragi Suyuan's face was extremely ugly. It was clear that Su Yu and Hiiragi Shanlin were so different in strength from him, but why couldn't he kill them?
?
When he wanted to kill Hiiragi Shanlin, Su Yu ran over and got in the way. Now when he wanted to kill Su Yu, he killed another guy.
Hiiragi Yuan was extremely disgusted with the surname Purgatory.
Before he became a ghost, the Hiiragi family and the Purgatory family took over the water column and flame column of each generation respectively. The water column of the previous generation was him, but because he was an adopted son and had no real bloodline of the Hiiragi family, he was not recognized and could not inherit the title of head of the family.
Bit.
He originally thought that his hard work would change his outcome, but when reality wiped out his illusions time and time again, Hiiragi Yuan realized that acquired efforts can never outweigh innate advantages.
Therefore, he hates those so-called famous families extremely, especially when he sees how complacent they are, he feels disgusted.
On the night when he became a ghost, Hiiragi Abyss almost killed all the direct members of the Hiiragi family, and did not leave until the Demon Slayer Squad sent Zhu to support him.
At that time, he had always wanted to clean up the Purgatory family, but he never had the chance because the address of the Purgatory family was difficult to find, just like being a pillar, he didn't know where the Demon Slayer Squad's headquarters was.
And now? Someone from the Purgatory family came to his door. This was something he didn't expect. It seemed that the opponent was Yan Zhu, because the aura he exuded was different from that of ordinary demon slayers.
At least Hiiragi Yuan could feel a hint of crisis in him.
"First of the last string... Twelve Ghost Moons who use the Nichirin Sword and the breath of water, are you the water column that fell into a ghost?" Eyes like copper bells stared at Hiiragi Abyss, wearing a fire pattern.
Haori's Flame Pillar said.
Zhu's degeneration into a ghost is an event that has a huge impact and will be remembered by people even if decades have passed.
What's more, the Purgatory family is also a demon-slaying family? For them, Hiiragi Yuan is like a lesson learned from the past, making their descendants understand that Hashira, as the backbone of the demon-slaying team, cannot degenerate into a ghost no matter what.
"You are from the Purgatory family, right? Because you look very similar to your parents and ancestors."
"My name is Purgatory New Taipei, and I am the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Squad."
Hiiragi Yuan's eyes were slightly narrowed, but he was still in the mood to introduce himself at this time. Should he say that Purgatory New North has a big heart, or is he really calm in the face of danger?
At this time, Su Yu, who finally recovered from his breathing, stood up slowly. The influence of the vampire technique made it impossible for him to move his limbs freely, and he needed to use the Sun Lun Knife to support the ground even to stand.
"Well, you did a good job. If you were able to delay me until I arrived, you are already a very good team member." Purgatory Xinbei turned around at this time and praised Su Yu.
It has to be said that the characters of the Purgatory Family are basically the same. Anyone who has the potential to become a Flame Pillar has an optimistic and cheerful personality.
Su Yu has met more than one person, because no matter which time he joined the Demon Slayer Squad, Yanzhu's surname was Purgatory, and he was keen on helping others and putting the lives of the people first, even if he sacrificed his life for it.
.
That is to say, this spirit is gradually affecting him, so when he becomes a ghost, he will not hurt anyone, and even voluntarily be beheaded by the Demon Slayer Squad because he can be reborn after death.
"Breath of Water·Type II·Water Wheel!"
While Su Yu was talking to Purgatory Xinbei, Hiiragi Yuan, who was standing far away, suddenly made a move. He held the knife forward and sprinted at an incredible speed. After approaching the two of them, he jumped into the air and flipped over.
While making a circle, he swung a knife, and a circular purple water flow immediately appeared along with the slash.
This sudden attack caught Su Yu by surprise. He subconsciously wanted to use his sword skills to defend himself, but Purgatory New Taipei was one step ahead of him.
"Breath of Fire·Type II·Rise of Fire!"
He instantly pulled out the Nichirin Sword from his waist and slashed out the Purgatory New Bei from bottom to top. Arc-shaped flames suddenly bloomed in the air and came into contact with the ring-shaped water flow.
A violent metal collision broke out, and the powerful impact made both Purgatory New Taipei and Hiiragi Abyss unable to help but retreat. The number of steps backward for the former was obviously fewer, so in this fight, Purgatory New Taipei had some advantages.
This is not surprising. Basically, both pillars have the strength to defeat Shimo. Although Hiiragi Yuan was already a pillar before he became a ghost, there is also a gap in strength between the pillars, so he falls at a disadvantage.
If Hiiragi Yuan's strength had really reached the level of a high-level pillar, he would have become a top stringer long ago. Just like Yue Yue, he was promoted to a top stringer in less than a few months after becoming a ghost. However, due to his failure to fully master his own
Because of his strength, he was instantly killed by Zenitsu in Infinity City.
Even Fallen Princess can kill seven pillars in single combat. It is hard to imagine what the level of pillars before the Taisho era was, or what level the lower strings were at that time.
Hashira cannot defeat the upper strings, they can only gain experience by taking strings. It may be that the lower strings have been used by the Demon Slayer Corps as a standard for promoting pillars, so Muzan Demon Slayer will eliminate them.
"How could this happen? Even though he is also a pillar, I have become a ghost. Why am I still different from him?"
Among the strong, one can sense the gap between oneself and the opponent in one fight. Although Hiiragi Yuan does not want to admit it, the strength of Purgatory Xinbei is indeed stronger than him. Even if he is not instantly killed by the opponent, in the end,
The person who dies will definitely be himself.
Thinking of this, a strong sense of sourness suddenly spread from his heart.
"Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Is it because of the surname Purgatory? Is it because he has the blood of a strong man, so he is stronger than me?"
"I'm unhappy, I'm unhappy, I'm extremely unhappy. Why haven't these guys with innate advantages died yet? They are obviously starting from the same place, so why are they superior to others?"
