Chapter 162 Rejection!

so troublesome!
Su Beixun let out a light sigh.

He wanted to become a ghost simply because of his own stance. What he said before was actually more inflammatory.

But he didn't expect that the arrogance deep in his heart that he thought was superior to others was accurately captured by these words and evolved into this kind of [World Quest].

The evolution of glory...

The focus is all on the first two words!

He had to get most people to admit that ghosts were more perfect creatures than humans.

Su Beixun frowned, and a vague idea slowly came to his mind -

Dictators will always be hated by people. What many people hate is not capital, but the fact that they themselves cannot become capital.

If the opportunity to become a ghost is given to everyone, there will definitely be many people who would want to become a ghost!
But we can talk about all this later, the most urgent thing is to turn myself into a ghost first.

Looking at the hesitant woman, he turned his wrist and asked softly, "How is it? Have you decided? The world of the immortals, leaving behind all the joys and sorrows, birth, aging, sickness and death, is wonderful to think about, isn't it?"

But unexpectedly, Tamayo suddenly became firm after hearing this.

"I don't approve!"

She stared at the child, her mind turning over and over, and finally she made up her mind.

"The bond of civilization is emotion, but the price of immortality is selfishness. It is not difficult to imagine that the longer you live, the fewer things you care about, and the more indifferent you become to external things!"

"I don't think a world composed of a group of selfish people is worthy of praise! A group of rigid immortals will only make civilization stagnate!"

Su Beixun raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Tamayo took a deep breath.

"Although I'm just a doctor, I still know a little about world history. The achievements of those famous great scientists were basically made in the first half of their lives."

"Humans have limited inspiration. Even if we extend our lifespan, as time goes by, we cannot avoid the rigidity of our thinking!"

"The world of eternal life is definitely not as beautiful as you imagine!"

"Scholars, aristocratic families, political groups..."

"These cancers growing around immortality will control every aspect of civilization. Greed will not allow them to take out their vested interests and share them with others!"

“I can’t imagine how hopeless a society without reform, innovation, stagnant water, and rigidity would be!”

Su Beixun narrowed his eyes, but suddenly smiled.

"We really have different values. No... it should be said that our ways of thinking are completely opposite from the very beginning."

"What I care about is individuals and interests! Because I think I will definitely be at the top no matter what."

"But you care more about the overall situation and hidden dangers, and always put yourself at the bottom of the thinking."

Tamayo's voice was gentle, yet stubborn: "Because I like humans! No matter what you say, as long as humans are still the only food for ghosts, they can't all be turned into ghosts."

"And your so-called survival of the fittest selection method is totally wrong!"

"In nature, only organisms with a short life cycle and high production numbers, such as insects, can screen out more fit offspring through mass reproduction after encountering environmental changes."

"The development of human society has always relied on division of labor and cooperation! Social security, medicine, education... We use these to connect each other into a society to deal with crises in nature."

"Blindly following the survival of the fittest will only cause humans to lose a large number of neutral genes, and lose diversity and the future!"

Su Beixun pulled his hair, extremely distressed.

"As expected, people are completely unable to understand each other. I am no longer bothering to convince you to accept my ideas."

"Put all of this aside..."

He looked at Tamayo and said firmly, "Now! Turn me into a ghost!"

"I've told you before, this is impossible!" Tamayo remained unshakable.

Su Beixun held the hilt of the knife: "It doesn't matter even if I die here?"

"up to you!"

"What if I go and massacre the people in the town?"

Tamayo isn't worried at all: "The Demon Slayer Corps and the human government will stop you!"

Su Beixun narrowed his eyes: "You don't care about the life or death of the man next to you?"

Tamayo was silent.

But Yushiro said loudly: "Don't worry about me, sir! I am already very satisfied to be able to live with you until today! Don't let me become a burden to you!"

Tamayo pursed her lips, and her increasingly determined eyes showed her attitude.

“…Is that so?” Su Beixun tilted his head.

He pulled the knife out inch by inch, and a long and harsh "squeak" sound echoed in the empty room! Under the dim light, the pale blade was so dazzling!
What he pulled out at this time was not an ordinary knife, but the Nichirin Sword that he had taken from a member of the Demon Slayer Corps he had met by chance during the past six years.

Tamayo cut her arm hard, trying to use the blood demon technique to make the other party hallucinate with her sweet-smelling blood.

But Su Beixun, who had similar abilities, was not affected at all, as he was able to find the hidden house.

"Sir! You go first!" Yushiro said vigilantly.

He was about to strike first, but the figure of the boy in front of him suddenly disappeared like a mirage! He only caught a distorted light and shadow for a moment, just like the moon reflected in the water and disturbed by someone, and he was caught off guard!
Yushiro didn't react at all!
All he heard was a roaring sound, like water hitting a cliff!
His sight tilted a little bit, the soft and warm light from the roof was reflected in his pupils, everything seemed so dreamy, making his mind go blank.

"Yushiro!!!"

The sad cry brought back his last consciousness.

Yushiro then realized that there was a familiar headless body standing next to him. The young man was facing away from it, holding a knife in one hand, and was throwing the scarlet blood on the blade onto the ground.

Water Breathing Form 1 Water Surface Slash!

[So strong...]

Seeing Tamayo rushing over to hug him with a sad look on her face, Yushiro finally moved his lips: "...Sir...run away..."

Before Zhu Shi arrived at his side, he had already turned into fine black ash and disappeared into the air.

[I didn’t die in an adult’s arms… I really don’t want to…]

Tamayo stretched out her hand helplessly.

But in the next second, the wet knife light cut off her arm at the shoulder!

Su Beixun grabbed the broken arm that was thrown out and bit the section with bone stumps!
The fishy and sweet blood flowed down his throat continuously. He suppressed the feeling of nausea and swallowed it all with gritted teeth!

It was like drinking a mouthful of sulfuric acid. The burning sensation in the stomach became more and more intense, and I even began to feel pain and twitch.

"It's useless." Tamayo pressed her shoulder and said softly, "If it were so easy to become a ghost, they would have flooded this land long ago."

"...Tsk, it doesn't work." Su Beixun threw the broken arm in his hand away.

The slender and beautiful arm hit the wall, then fell to the ground and twitched continuously.

He wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and the blood dyed his lips a strange bright red.

"I'll ask you one last time, will you help me?!"

Tamayo shook her head.

"……I see."

Clang——!
Su Beixun sheathed his sword.

A purple kimono slowly floated down behind him, and the woman wearing it was slowly disappearing. Perhaps, if he begged in a low voice and hid his true thoughts, Tamayo might be able to turn him into a ghost.

but……

"I do not like!"

Su Beixun glanced coldly at the place where the two people died. Then he went to the study and the basement and took away all the materials in them, even the experimental equipment.

Then he opened the door and walked back into the dark street.

And in the still busy alley, a pale man in a suit and top hat, holding a little girl in his arms, seemed to notice something and turned to look over.

"This child is..."

His crimson pupils narrowed immediately as he recognized the human he had asked the ghost to look for but who had disappeared for six years.

The round nails became sharp in an instant, but Muzan Kibutsuji thought about it and suppressed the urge to do it himself.

The caution he had maintained for thousands of years made him make a choice: "Forget it, let's let the Upper Rank do it... I remember that guy seemed to be nearby."

The other side.

Su Beixun, who was carrying a knife, received the warning and a subtle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Is it such a coincidence?"

He looked at the words dancing across his field of vision.

Although he knew that Muzan Kibutsuji also lived in this city, he was surprised to run into him by chance...

“How lucky.”

He changed direction and left the center of Tokyo Prefecture, heading towards a secluded location on the edge.

After successfully finding an abandoned house with no one living in it, Su Beixun sat on the stone table in the center of the courtyard, waiting quietly.

The moon above my head was obscured by dark clouds at some point.

In this quiet place without the sound of cicadas, a pale foot with rosary beads stepped over the threshold.

"what?"

A man with short pink hair, a purple short-sleeved shirt, and dark blue tattoos all over his body walked in laughing.

The golden eyes with "Upper String Three" engraved on them stared at the child who jumped off the table: "Are you waiting for me?"

"...So be it."

Su Beixun raised his head: "From just now, I had a strong feeling that someone was watching me."

“Amazing intuition!”

The corners of Akaza's mouth widened and he clenched his fists with great interest.

"After reading the memories that Master Muzan gave me, I've wanted to fight you for a long time!"

“Even though it was delayed for six years… it’s better this way!”

Bricks and stones on the ground were thrown into the air!

Su Beixun took a step back and drew his knife to intercept the fist that was about to hit him! He also grinned, pulled out another knife, and slashed it across the middle of the other person's cheek with a flash of water!

"As expected! You've become stronger!"

The wound on Akaza's face had completely healed before he landed! He landed on one foot, unfolded a huge snowflake-shaped magic circle, and laughed as he got ready.

"I will do my best...so don't die easily!!"

Without even seeing the steps of exerting force clearly, Akaza was left with only an afterimage!
With this action, the air seemed to be compressed and punched out, and a thunderous sonic boom suddenly sounded in the courtyard!

Su Beixun held a sword in his hand, his pupils trembling slightly, accurately capturing the figure floating in the wind.

Taking advantage of his weapon, he held the sword in his hand and chopped it down on his head! When the opponent blocked with his right arm, he withdrew his left sword and slashed at his neck!

Akaza dodged by lying on his back!
He half squatted down and pointed at Su Beixun's throat with his right hand like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue!

The sound of metal and stone hitting each other never stops!
Su Beixun was holding the knife and chopped it on the side of the opponent's wrist to force him to change its trajectory, and blocked the way of exerting force, hoping to make the opponent slide past his side and expose his back.

But Akaza just smiled ostentatiously!

He tensed his legs and stabilized his lower body, then twisted his body with a force that was impossible for a human being to do, and used his right elbow to hit Su Beixun's head!
Su Beixun's pupils dilated and shrank in an instant. He immediately counterattacked with his second knife, but the hasty force still made him stagger and half-squat on the ground.

Not good!!
But he had no time to react!
Akaza, who has grown up in battle, has swept over with a whip-like kick!

Su Beixun used breathing techniques to strengthen his muscles, taking the attack firmly and using the force to increase the distance.

Akaza did not press on with the victory. Instead, he let his fists hang at his sides and began to explain his own moves.

"My [Blood Demon Art] is called Destruction Killing. It is a series of martial arts striking moves derived from the Destruction Killing Luo Needle."

"When the technique is activated, I can sense the opponent's fighting spirit like a compass, and make my own attacks and avoidances as precise as if attracted by a magnet."

"The stronger the opponent's fighting spirit, the sharper the Luo needle's reaction will be, and the higher the corresponding strength and accuracy will be."

He licked his lips, looked at Su Beixun's not-so-strong body with intoxication, squatted down in a horse stance, and couldn't wait to get ready.

"I can feel the great power contained in your body... So, use all your strength and fight me to your heart's content!!"

"Then...as you wish!"

Su Beixun threw away the deformed ordinary knife in his hand, held the Sun Blade with both hands, and had no expression on his face.

It was as if you were in a vast blue sea, with huge waves roaring in from afar, and the blade wrapped in the water was swinging across at a speed barely visible to the naked eye!

Akaza used his fist to open the blade, and his other hanging hand slammed down on the opponent's temple with a dazzling blue light!

Destruction and killing style!

The house behind him was instantly washed out with a huge passage by the huge airflow!

Su Beixun's eyes were indifferent, and he chopped the opponent's elbow with his Sun Wheel Sword, which made his attack miss, and the recoil also made his own door wide open!

Akaza reacted quickly, using the force of being knocked backward to raise his foot and kick the opponent hard in the chin!

Su Beixun calmly stepped back, creating some space to buy time, loosened the knife handle while holding it in reverse, and used the inertia of turning around to chop diagonally towards his supporting leg!

Akaza was unable to react in time, but he didn't need to react! The blade with water vapor cut off half of his thigh, but Akaza bounced up with his hands, and he was reborn when he fell!

The strength of the upper and lower strings is indeed very different! Whether it is strength, speed, or regeneration ability...but Su Beixun is also very different from six years ago!

Flesh and blood collide with swords!
The sonorous sound is endless!
In the courtyard, the strong wind surrounding the two of them plowed the bricks and stones over and over again!
A sudden moment!

Amid the continuous rain of blows, Su Beixun caught the moment of Inosuke's disharmony!

He held the knife with both hands, swung it upwards, as if he was in a whirlpool, and swung it towards the opponent's neck with added force!

Water Breathing Land Type Twisting Vortex!
"useless!"

Akaza laughed loudly, and his originally stagnant movements suddenly became smooth. He bent down and dodged calmly!

He pulled away and shouted excitedly.

"Your sword skills that can steal people's five senses really amaze me! Even though I was prepared, the moment your sense of touch disappeared just now still caught me off guard!"

“But, what a pity!”

"I never use my five senses to sense fighting spirit!"
