Iguro Obanai looked at Xander, and a spark of ferocity flickered in his heterochromatic eyes.
Xander ignored Iguro Obanai's gaze and continued:
"Tanjiro and I participated in the final selection together and also completed a mission together. During the battle in Asakusa, Tokyo, Tanjiro and Nezuko helped transport the wounded and assisted me in holding back a demon.
"Of course, if the wounded and unconscious person didn't witness this battle and couldn't provide proof, then later in the Drum House, Nezuko helped Tanjiro eliminate two demons and protected a little girl from demons.
"It's enough to just ask, and you will surely discover this. Later, in the battle on Mount Natagumo, which just concluded, Nezuko helped Tanjiro and Inosuke kill the strongest demon under the command of the Twelve Demons. That's all the evidence!
The Pillars looked at Xander and fell silent for a while because what Xander said could be easily verified. If they disputed it now, then when the evidence came to light, it would be akin to self-condemnation.
Finally, Xander said:
"Of course, you may not believe me, but the lord cannot be unaware of this, otherwise there would be no trial today, right?"
The Pillars felt that what Xander said made sense and agreed for a moment.
Tanjiro looked at Xander with tears in his eyes:
"Xander-sensei, I have to do something because Nezuko and I are already entangled in such a story with the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. I can't let Xander-sensei bear all of this alone."
Tanjiro exclaimed:
"My sister can fight with me! She can fight as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps to protect humanity! So..."
"Hey, hey! It seems something interesting is happening!"
At that moment, a man with white hair and a large afro entered the courtyard, speaking with a very unfriendly tone.
The man who appeared had a fierce look and a strong aura of violence.
The most noticeable were the scars on his exposed face, chest, and abdomen. This scar-covered man was the fiercest of the nine Pillars—Sanemi Shinezugawa .
"What's the plan of that foolish fellow with the demon?"
A member of the Hidden Team hurriedly approached and exclaimed in a panic to Sanemi:
"This confuses me, Sanemi! Please lower the box!"
When Shinobu Kocho saw Sanemi appear with the box containing Nezuko, the smile disappeared from her face.
"Sanemi, please do not act without permission."
However, Sanemi completely ignored Shinobu Kocho and stared at Tanjiro, asking:
"What the hell are you talking about, kid?"
"Can you serve as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps? Fight to protect humanity? How is that possible! Idiot!"
As he spoke, Sanemi hand reached for the Sun Blade at his waist, drawing it with one hand and getting ready to stab the wooden box.
Seeing this familiar scene, Tanjiro wanted to free his hands to save Nezuko, but Xander acted faster than Tanjiro.
Xander suddenly tore apart the ropes binding his hands with both hands.
"Shave !"
Then Xander instantly drew his Sun Wheel Blade and dashed toward Sanemi at an unimaginable speed.
Clang!
Xander's blade collided with Sanemi
Sanemi stared at Xander and realized that, despite holding his sword with one hand, he was gradually being overpowered by Xander's strength.
", you've got some strength, but..."
After those words, Sanemi tossed the wooden box containing Nezuko.
Seeing this, Xander turned away from Sanemi without hesitation.
"shave "
Xander leaped high and caught the wooden box containing Nezuko.
Then came Sanemi attack.
"Wind Breathing! Fourth Form! Rising Dust Storm!"
Five wind blades swooped up from below, aiming at Xander and the wooden box containing Nezuko.
" defending a demon! Die along with the demon!"
Xander held the wooden box containing Nezuko and remained completely calm.
"Shave"
The fusion of Moon Step and shave was as fast as shave but increased the flexibility of Xander's movements based on shave and allowed him to move in the air.
Xander's figure vanished, and the five wind blades disappeared into the sky. Xander had already appeared behind Fuzukawa Sane without anyone noticing, with the blade in his hand pointing at Fuzukawa Sane's back.
Although Xander had followed Urokodaki Sakonji to the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters many times, he rarely interacted with Shinezugawa sanemi. Firstly, because Sanemi had a difficult character, and secondly, Xander believed Sanemi might harm Nezuko in the future, which made him resistant.
"If you can't distinguish between good demons and evil demons, I don't think there's a need for you, Sanemi, to be a Pillar."
Seeing this, all the Pillars were stunned.
Tanjiro also relaxed:
"I'm saved! Fortunately, Senior Xander is here! Although Senior Hayashi taught me Razor, my body can't execute it as easily as Senior Hayashi. Turns out, I still need to train to protect Nezuko from harm!"
"How did he do that? He actually dodged five Dead River attacks in the air. Even Divan couldn't clearly see the movements of the little devil." Iguro Xiaoba was extremely shocked.
Shinobu Kocho saw the whole process took less than ten seconds, and it seemed that Xander had won. Her composed face broke, and she looked surprised.
"The last time I saw him, did he become this strong? So it's true, he'll help me avenge my sister?"
Miri's eyes were ready to burst with tiny hearts, and her little face turned red as she looked at Xander:
"Xander is truly amazing! He even defeated Lord Busakawa!"
Uzui Tengen, who had a keen sense of speed, noticed something:
"That kid is truly magnificent. If I heard the word 'magnificent' correctly, it must refer to a very swift and magnificent combat art, and the speed of this fight is even faster than my magnificent self!"
At that moment, two identical white-haired girls simultaneously exclaimed:
"The Lord has arrived!"
Then another man emerged from the house. This man had medium-length hair parted in the middle, and the most noticeable feature was his partially scarred face.
This man was the Lord of the Demon Slayer Corps — Ubuyashiki.
"You are here, my dear children."
Ubuyashiki stepped out of the house and addressed everyone in the courtyard politely.
His voice was very light and gentle, and when it reached the ears, it gave a very soothing feeling, as if it possessed a magical power to calm the heart.
Ubuyashiki stepped through the doorway, and the two identical white-haired girls closed the door and approached him.
Then Ubuyashiki placed one hand on the shoulder of the girl on the left while supporting the girl on the right with the other hand, looking very frail.
Thus, step by step, Ubuyashiki walked into the sunlight with the support of the two girls.
"Good morning, everyone. Today is a beautiful day. The sky is very blue."
"I am very pleased that we can hold our semi-annual meeting of the Pillars without any changes in membership."
