Simultaneous transmigration, but with low martial arts and low magic.

Chapter 8: A Chain of Tragedy, The Arrogant Kaigaku!

"Have the reinforcements arrived?"

Upon seeing the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen arriving, Rick's heart sank.

He wasn't afraid of any number of ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen after absorbing Pero's demon blood essence.

At this point, his strength had firmly reached the level of a Lower Moon Demon.

Instead of relying primarily on internal energy and the Quanzhen Sword Technique to ultimately acquire the combat power of a Lower Moon Demon, as before.

After consuming and digesting the essence of Lower Moon Two, Perospero's demon blood, Rick's physical abilities had truly reached the level of a Lower Moon demon.

With the physical prowess of the Lower Rank Demon, coupled with the support of Quanzhen swordsmanship and internal energy, Li Ke is confident in challenging the Upper Rank Demons who are ranked lower!

Therefore, he is not afraid of ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen; no matter how many there are, they are just a bit troublesome to deal with.

What Li Ke truly fears are the Pillar-level swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. Once they arrive to surround and annihilate him, the situation will be reversed.

Thinking of this, Li Ke glanced at Rengoku Kyojuro and Kanroji Mitsuri, and said in a deep voice:

"I suggest you reconsider your plan to join forces against Muzan. Goodbye."

With that, Li Ke turned and left without hesitation.

With the support of internal energy and the Golden Goose Skill, Rengoku Kyojuro couldn't catch up at all and could only watch as Li Ke gradually disappeared from sight.

On the other side, Kanroji Mitsuri looked at Rengoku Kyojuro, who was standing there silently, and went up to comfort him:

"That Rick might not become a demon king like Muzan."

Turning to look at Kanroji Mitsuri, Rengoku Kyojuro sighed:

"For over a thousand years, our Purgatory Clan has been dedicated to completely eradicating the 'Calamity of Demons'."

They wanted to exterminate all the evil spirits in the world and end this tragic chain of events, but countless members of their clan were sacrificed for this cause.

Now there's another demon beyond Muzan's control, which means that even if we successfully kill Muzan, Rick won't die with him.

Upon hearing this, Kanroji Mitsuri fell silent.

She came from an ordinary family and could not understand the heavy pressure that a family like Rengoku Kyojuro's, a family that had been slaying demons for a thousand years, bore.

They could not comprehend how many members of the Purgatory Clan had sacrificed in their quest to exterminate the evil spirits, or how many had died on the way to do so.

Now we know that even if the Demon King Muzan is killed, the demons in the world are still not extinct.

This answer is indeed a bit too cruel for the Purgatory Family.

……

On the other hand, Li Ke was unaware of the complex feelings that Rengoku Kyojuro and Kanroji Mitsuri were experiencing at that moment.

It can only be said that different positions lead to different perspectives and views on things.

The Purgatory Clan is not wrong. They cannot stand the evil spirits killing innocent people and want to end the chaos caused by the spirits. This is not wrong.

But what's wrong with Li Ke wanting to live forever? Should he just hand over his head to them to behead?

They traveled on foot, aided by the Golden Goose Skill, a renowned light-body technique in Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

Li Ke's speed was so fast that neither cars, carriages, nor buildings could stop him.

After traveling for about ten minutes, Li Ke found a clothing store with rather luxurious decor.

Needless to say, Li Ke, who didn't want to continue exposing his chest muscles, went straight into the store for a "zero-yuan purchase".

This can be considered a way of getting back some of the 230 million taels of silver indemnity owed under the Treaty of Shimonoseki.

Not long after leaving the store, Li Ke's eyes lit up.

"This is truly a case of 'searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!'"

"Who are you? Wait, this aura... are you a ghost?!"

"Ha, there's actually a ghost that dares to show itself in front of me? It's practically courting death!"

Seeing Li Ke standing on the streetlight, Kaiyue sneered.

In particular, seeing that there was no sign of the waning or waxing crescent moon in Li Ke's eyes meant he wasn't one of the twelve demon moons.

The contempt in Kaigaku's eyes was impossible to conceal.

After all, Kaigaku's strength was actually quite good at this time.

Although in the original story, when he encountered Upper Moon One Kokushibo, he knelt down and surrendered without any dignity in order to survive.

But considering that it was Kokushibo, the Upper Moon One whose strength was second only to Muzan, it's quite normal.

If it were a weaker Lower Moon demon, they might not even be able to defeat Kaigaku.

After all, at this time, Kaigaku had not mastered the first form of the Thunder Breathing Technique, Thunderclap Flash.

He has mastered all the other Thunder Breathing techniques, so he can be considered a near-pillar level expert.

So don't blame Kaigaku for being so arrogant; he truly has the right to be arrogant.

"Fine, since you dare to appear before me, I'll send you to hell."

With that, Kaigaku placed his hand on the hilt of his Nichirin Blade, his killing intent radiating outwards!

"Fourth Form: Far Thunder!"

Kaigaku's body seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, striking with incredible speed, and his Nichirin Blade manifested an illusion of thunder.

"clang!"

The sound of swords clashing rang out, and Kaigaku's expression suddenly changed, his eyes widening.

Fast, too fast!

Is this ghost really not from the Twelve Ghost Months?

How could she so easily block his sword strike, and with such effortless grace?!

"Second Form: Inari Spirit!"

The Nichirin Blade transformed into five bolts of lightning, slashing towards different parts of Li Ke's body.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

The sound of swords clashing rang out, and Kaigaku's slash was once again easily blocked.

"How is this possible!"

Kaiyue's heart sank, his hair stood on end, and he was no longer the arrogant and haughty man he had been before.

Clenching his teeth, Kaigaku took a deep breath and gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly.

"Fifth Form: The World of Heat and Lightning!"

The Nichirin Blade emitted intensely hot, lightning-like lightning, transforming into a bolt of lightning that slashed towards Li Ke's neck.

"Snap!"

The iron sword that had accompanied Li Keduo finally succumbed to the continuous heavy blows and broke completely in two.

Kaiyue was overjoyed to see that he had successfully cut off the iron sword in Li Ke's hand.

But seeing Li Ke's still calm expression, a bad feeling arose in my heart.

"It's my turn now!"

In an instant, Li Ke vanished from his spot and reappeared behind Kaiyue.

"Flying Across the Heavenly Mountains!"

The Quanzhen Sect's introductory leg techniques, even if they were just basic introductory leg techniques, were the fundamental martial arts that Yang Guo needed to learn when he first started.

However, with the Lower Rank Demon's physical attributes and the enhancement of his crimson inner energy, Kaigaku was not someone Kaigaku could withstand.

Then Kaigaku's body flew up, like a tattered rag doll about to be torn apart.

boom!boom!boom! ...

Kaigaku rolled several times on the ground before finally stopping when he hit the wall.

"puff!"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Kaigaku's eyes revealed a look of fear.

At that moment, he wished he could slap himself a few times.

What on earth did he just do to dare to mock this lord?

The fear of death gripped Kaigaku's heart, causing his body to tremble slightly.

"I cannot die! My ambitions have not yet been fulfilled! I absolutely cannot die!"

With that, Kaiyue knelt down and begged Li Ke to spare his life.

"My lord, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life. I will serve you like a beast of burden from now on."

Li Ke was not surprised to see Kaiyue like this.

In the original story, when Kaigaku encountered the invincible Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, he knelt down and surrendered to save his life, begging Kokushibo to spare his life.

As a result, Kokushibo not only did not kill him, but also bestowed upon him demon blood, allowing him to become Upper Moon Six.

"Do you...desire power?"
