Lin Cheng clearly felt the impact of his earlier punch.
That demon's head shattered with his direct hit.
Even now, that demon's blood was still present on Lin Cheng's arm. However, when Lin Cheng lifted the demon, the shattered head was already recovering quickly.
And at that moment, Lin Cheng had the opportunity to take a close look at the demon's appearance. He had bony protuberances on his forehead, his eyes were completely dominated by a crimson color, and his clothing was reminiscent of a ninja's attire.
"This guy..." - Lin Cheng thought - "He looks a little familiar."
Lin Cheng looked at the demon that continued to struggle in his hands with a thoughtful expression.
Meanwhile, the demon was still desperately using its sharp claws to claw at Lin Cheng's arm. Although it tore his clothes, the deadly claws, which would normally tear a human apart, only left slight marks on Lin Cheng's arm.
Although he had only unlocked a little over thirteen percent of his potential, Lin Cheng's stamina far exceeded that of an ordinary human.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!"the demon shouted. - "Damn you bastard, let go of me at once!"
"If I don't eat that guy soon, he'll spoil!" The demon continued frantically, saying, "This guy is already sixteen years old, and with each passing day, his taste gets worse. In a few days, his taste will be so bad that it will be unbearable."
As he spoke, the demon pointed to a confused Mitsuri Kanroji in Lin Cheng's arms.
With the demon's words, Lin Cheng remembered the identity of this creature.
The demon, with its blood technique, was reminiscent of shadows, whose powers were a seemingly bottomless abyss. Moreover, his preference for consuming girls around the age of sixteen, wasn't he the original protagonist - Tanjiro, who had successfully passed the Demon Hunter Corps test?
Would this be the first time you kill him after joining the Demon Hunter Corps?
If Lin Cheng was not mistaken, in addition to the one under his control, this creature had two duplicates. In fact, it was no surprise. When he realized that a single creature would not be able to break free from his control, another dark mass appeared on the ground nearby.
Then, a creature that presented some subtle differences with the one Lin Cheng held in his hand emerged. This was the main entity of the three demons and, of the three, it was the one that showed the greatest intelligence. The Swamp Demon.
"Interesting."
"I didn't expect you weren't one of those hateful swordsmen."
The Swamp Demon looked at Lin Cheng with an intriguing smile on his face and said:
"Just with your own body, you've managed to reach this level. Human, you really are impressive."
"Even if I only feed on young ones, I'm curious about your taste."
"Your muscles that has been tempered many times, it must have a unique taste, right?"
As he spoke, the Swamp Demon looked at Lin Cheng, occasionally showing a look of satisfaction.
Eating sixteen-year-old girls day after day was more or less a bit tiring, and it wasn't bad to have a change of taste once in a while.
At this time, the surrounding crowd had dispersed quite a bit, after realizing that the situation was dangerous, although some people went to seek help from the official forces, the official forces in Sakura Town were pretty average.
There were only a few guards with guns far behind, carefully observing the situation on Lin Cheng's side from afar.
"Interesting, it's really very interesting."
"Then let's give it a try, see if you can prove it."
Lin Cheng went down to Mitsuri Kanroji and laughingly said, "Mitsuri, the situation here is a bit dangerous, run over there."
"Don't worry, you can trust me with everything that comes next."
In fact, Lin Cheng thought that this swamp creature might not be able to defeat Mitsuri Kanroji.
It has a natural muscle density eight times greater, even the swamp monster's claws probably couldn't tear it right away. Moreover, the strength of this swamp demon is quite ordinary, its only advantage would be having the blood technique and the ability to create duplicates.
"Mr. Lin Cheng."
"Is there really no problem?"
Mitsuri Kanroji looked at Lin Cheng with some concern, inhaled deeply and said:
"Is there anything I can help with, Mister Lin Cheng? I am very strong."
As he spoke, Mitsuri Kanroji tried to find a nearby weapon to hit the swamp demon.
"Honey, don't worry."
Seeing the affectionate image of Lin Cheng and Mitsuri Kanroji, the swamp monster's expression became twisted.
"I decided that I'm going to personally savor this young lady in front of you and then eat you properly."
With those words, the swamp monster and its duplicate turned into two shadows and rushed swiftly toward Mitsuri Kanroji's location.
"So I said."
"You're very lucky to meet me."
Lin Cheng looked at the two shadows rushing towards Mitsuri Kanroji and a malevolent smile came across his face.
Crack!
The ground, which already had cracks like a spider web, completely collapsed.
