Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 55
Two days later, Infinite City.

"My Lord Executioner, all the positions have been set up according to your requirements."

In the chaotic space of up, down, left, and right, Naru-nu, whose face was covered by long black hair, hugged the biba and said to the executioner standing on the edge of the platform.

"How's it going, Lord Wuhan?"

"It will take a while."

When the executioner heard the words, he nodded slightly, his blue eyes staring at the space in front of him, as if he was deep in thought.

"Beautiful Miss Executioner, I have completed the commission you gave me."

Suddenly, Tong Mo's strange voice came, and he walked out of the portal with a smile, his colorful pupils looking at the executioner in front of him in fascination.

"Really? Well done."

The executioner said indifferently, raised his head, stared at the portal above his head, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Speaking of which, is it really necessary to prepare to that level? Even if those humans really master the power of evil spirits, they can't be your opponents, right?"

Tong Moye looked up and asked curiously.

"You don't understand that many things cannot be decided simply by relying on paper."

The executioner glanced at Tong Mo and said calmly.

"No matter how strong your strength is on paper, it is only a theoretical data. When it comes to actual combat, there are too many things that can interfere with you, limit your performance, and give you more weaknesses that do not exist before."

The executioner said, looking down calmly.

About a hundred meters away from the platform, I saw a crowd of dark figures crowded and noisy. At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of them.

"let's start."

A pleasant and cold voice sounded.

Zheng-!
The crisp sound of playing strings sounded, and in an instant, five huge portals opened directly below. Immediately afterwards, a large number of instant evil ghosts crowded below rushed towards the portal.

"Humanity!"

"Finally a human to eat"

"Don't block the way, everyone get out of my way! I want to be the first to eat human flesh and blood!"

Tens of thousands of evil spirits roared excitedly, and the executioner stood at a high place, watching this scene with a flash of expectation in his eyes.

"Let me see what you are going to do!"

Below, tens of thousands of evil spirits have all rushed out of the portal, leaving only five huge portals standing majestically.

The final round between evil spirits and humans has officially begun!
……

Demon Slayer Temporary Headquarters.

A solemn atmosphere lingers in the venue.

"The time Xin Lailai mentioned should be today."

Yusui Tianyuan looked at his companions and whispered.

"It should be so." Yihei Xiaoba Nei looked at the gradually dimming sky above his head, and unconsciously moved his palm to the sun blade on his waist.

The feeling of tension lingers in everyone's heart.

At the bottom of the mountain, the Demon Slayer teammates who had finished gathering were all standing on the treetops, looking around nervously.

"Whoa-whoa-! Attack-!"

Suddenly, the sharp and piercing sound of the rook sounded, and almost instantly, everyone drew out their sun blades and made a gesture of accepting the challenge.

But in the next moment, their expressions suddenly changed.

The piercing whistle echoed over the entire headquarters.

But that was not an alarm of an enemy attack, but——

The siren calling for rescue!

"Attack! There are a large number of evil spirits attacking the city! Requesting support from the headquarters!"

I saw similar alarms coming from five different directions. In an instant, everyone's expressions changed.

"Are you kidding me? Those evil spirits...those evil spirits...are capable of coming at me!"

An angry roar sounded, and Feng Zhu, the most irritable person, roared angrily and punched a big tree next to him.

The tall tree, which was as thick as three people's arms, was blown into two pieces and flew upside down. It hit the forest heavily and made a loud noise, like thunder falling to the ground.

But no one reprimanded Feng Zhu for his impulsiveness, or in other words, their reactions were all the same.

"What should we do now, should we go to support, or..."

Ganlu Temple looked at everyone anxiously, a little sweat dripping from her forehead.

No one answered.

Everyone understood that this was a tactic used by evil spirits to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Five cities were attacked by thousands of evil spirits at the same time. With the current manpower of the Demon Slayer Corps, it would be impossible to handle an attack of this scale without dispatching them.

But if you go to support...

All the pillars looked at the lord sitting on the futon in front of the wooden house.

"Tell everyone to stay put."

A calm and gentle voice sounded, Uyashiki looked at the pillars in front of him and said.

"But, lord...!" Purgatory Xingshourou, who had the strongest sense of justice, suddenly changed his expression, and he immediately wanted to refute.

"This is an order, Xingshourou. Have you forgotten what Xin Lailai said before he left?"

Ubuyashiki Yōya looked at Enzhu, and an invisible sense of pressure emanated from him.

"For half an hour, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave within half an hour. If there is no news after half an hour, it is time for you to take action!"

——No matter what happens, as long as it involves dispersing combat power, you must stay in place for half an hour.

This was the death order given by Xin Lailai before leaving.

Hearing the words, Yan Zhu trembled slightly, gritted his teeth, punched the ground unwillingly, squatted down, closed his eyes, and whispered:
"Obey, my lord."

Ubuyashiki Yaoya saw this, nodded slightly, and then looked towards the already darkening sky. He recalled in his mind what Xin Lailai had talked to him in private, and his eyes moved slightly.

"Xin Lailai, you are right. Our enemy this time must not be treated with common sense."

"So, I hope the plan you arranged can really subvert everything."

……

……

Fifteen kilometers away, the city.

"No, no, help!" "Monster...run...run!"

"I don't want to die!" "Go away...don't eat me...ah!"

Screams, wails, and cries mixed together, instantly tearing the peaceful night apart.

I saw more than two thousand evil ghosts swarming out of the suddenly opened portal on the busiest street in the city.

boom--!
A huge palm shot down, and behind the evil ghost, an Ice Bodhisattva with a height of ten meters rushed out. With a wave of his hand, a large number of corpses flew up.

In just a few minutes, the bustling streets were instantly covered with the smell of blood and various mixed juices.

"It feels so good, so good. I haven't eaten someone so happily in a long time!"

On the street where corpses lay scattered, an evil ghost gnawed at half of the thigh in his hand and let out a hearty laugh.

But the next second, a harsh whistling sound came, and then - boom!
A deafening roar exploded in the middle of the street. In the light of the fire, the evil ghost who was laughing a second ago was directly blasted into the sky.

what happened!
The evil ghost who was attacked had a look of disbelief in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly became like this.

Immediately afterwards, a row of firelights lit up in the darkness in the distance. The next second, the evil ghost suddenly felt something hit its face. Then, its head was torn into pieces by the huge impact. .

"What is that!" "Did it thunder?" "What happened!"

Other evil spirits who were not affected by the artillery fire looked at the corpses and building fragments that suddenly flew into the sky with a roar in the firelight, and yelled blankly.

"Look at the sky!"

I don't know who shouted, and the remaining evil ghosts raised their heads. Then, in the last few seconds of their lives, they used the excellent low-light vision of human ghosts to see dozens of cannonballs roaring towards them.

boom--!
An earth-shaking loud noise sounded, completely kicking off the night.

……

……

In the infinite city.

"Now, you should understand."

The executioner looked at the debris of buildings and corpses that were being blasted in from the portal below, and spoke calmly.

"Is this really... surprising? Does the Demon Slayer actually have such power?"

Tong Mo looked at the scene outside the portal below, with a hint of shock in his colorful pupils.

"This is not the power of the Demon Slayer Squad, but the power controlled by humans."

"Does that make any difference?"

"The difference is that the participation of these forces means that if this battle fails, even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will no longer have any place in this world."

The executioner spoke calmly, looking at the scene of gunfire outside the portal below and the ice puppet that was shattered in an instant.

"Sounds scary? But you look happy?"

Tong Mo glanced at the executioner beside him and said with a smile.

"Of course, because of this, it means that victory is completely in our hands."

A sharp look flashed in the eyes of the executioner.

The fate of the human army was completely within her expectation. After all, if she had mastered the perfect ghost blood that could not be afraid of the sun, she would definitely use it as a bargaining chip to exchange for these powers.

For some humans living in this world, it is impossible for anyone to refuse the temptation of immortality, especially when the price is just to send out some troops and sacrifice the lives of some people who have nothing to do with them.

As for what unpredictable impact this approach will have on the social structure within this derivative world?What does those things have to do with them as contractors?
The only problem is-

"It's just too relaxing."

The executioner's eyebrows tightened slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

There is no deep meaning in the other party's actions so far.

Improving the combat power of the Demon Slayer Squad and mobilizing the human army, these operations are indeed commendable for ordinary contractors, but for contractors at their level, they are not considered such special means at all.

In other words, the methods currently displayed by the other party are too satisfactory.

She originally thought that the other party would disclose the ghost blood directly to the top human beings, and was even prepared to welcome tens of thousands of human soldiers to commit suicide and rush into Infinite City carrying explosives. However, she did not expect that the other party would actually reveal the ghost blood. They just rely on humans to stop the evil spirits attacking the city.

According to this momentum this afternoon, let alone win, the opponent may not even be able to break through Infinite City.

This was quite different from her expectations.

"Does that guy still have some space-related means?"

The executioner was deep in thought. Suddenly, her expression changed, she looked aside, and her figure disappeared instantly.

boom--!
A terrifying slash entwined with a dark aura instantly hit the shadow of a wall. Several figures rushed out of the black shadow before the slash hit, and rushed towards Naruto in the center of the platform. .

"ridiculous!"

A sneer came from the mouth of the executioner. She stepped on the wall and rushed out instantly. Her body turned into a dark afterimage. She swung the knife at a perfect angle and rushed out of the shadow in an instant. The three figures were all cut off at the waist.

The three bodies that were split into two fell down, and a faint blue light flashed through the eyes of the executioner. After using identification techniques to confirm that the three corpses in front of her were just ordinary evil ghosts, she lifted them nearly two meters high. The long black sword looked around and said coldly:
"It seems that I think too highly of you, that you even use such stupid means?"

No one responded.

"Miss executioner seems to have been left out?"

"Keep an eye on Naru. The enemy's concealment ability is very strong. If you move Naru's position now, he may be able to catch the flaw."

The executioner ordered in a cold tone. He leaned forward, took half a step back with his right foot, and made a forward posture to draw the sword.

"As you command, beautiful executioner lady."

Layers of ice crystals quickly clung to the wall. Tong Mo chuckled and directly used the vampire technique to freeze the surrounding area. At the same time, several ice bodhisattvas gathered to protect Naru Nu in the center of the platform. .

The air suddenly became quiet.

The portal below had been closed by Naruto as soon as the attack occurred, and the surrounding walls were all frozen. Five ice bodhisattvas were floating in the air, and a circle of ice crystal shields one meter thick would be heard. The woman protects herself.

Time passed little by little.

On the platform, the executioner looked like a sculpture, with his eyes closed and motionless in the posture of drawing the sword.

Tong Mo yawned a little boredly.

"I asked, could he have escaped..."

boom--!
In an instant, a terrifying black slash erupted, and the dark death energy swept through the air in an instant, striking the figure that suddenly rushed out from the shadow behind Tong Mo.

Without any suspense, the figure that received the blow was instantly blasted into two pieces, and the executioner instantly activated the identification technique to determine the opponent's identity information:
[Name: Takeda Shinichi
Identity: Takeda family dead warrior/evil ghost (mutilated body)

...]

Another pretense.

This guy……

The executioner's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly, a slight movement was heard, and then part of the ice crystal attached to the wall was suddenly shattered, and a figure holding a sun blade suddenly rushed out.

'too slow! '

Zheng——

The sound of a guzheng sounded, and the room was instantly turned upside down. The figure who rushed towards Naru Girl holding the Nichirin Sword visibly paused. Then, the dark blade passed by his neck, and the death energy wrapped around it instantly Its life force was swallowed up.

The identification technique is activated instantly.

[Name: Xin Lailai

Identity: Contractor/Evil Ghost (Perfect Body)

……

...]

Is this the end?
How can it be?

A flash of astonishment flashed in the executioner's eyes, but the next second, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

She turned around suddenly, and then saw the palm extended by the evil ghost she had just split into two, and...

——Tanjiro Kamado appeared out of thin air right in front of him!

Vampire Technique·Scorching Sky Sun!

The next moment, monstrous flames descended, and the ice crystals covering Naruto's body that could withstand a single slash from the executioner shattered.
