However, the green-haired devil was lucky enough to escape the fate of becoming roasted brains.
“That night, that man,” he pointed to the half-eaten, terrified Kosaburo Narukami on the ground, “brought five other men and broke into my house, killing my father, mother, sister, and all the servants.”
"In order to save me from this disaster, Jiro hid me in the most secret place, and then deliberately hid in an easy-to-find place to attract their attention."
"I hid very well! No matter what sounds I heard, I didn't come out! You're far inferior to me! That lord bestowed his grace upon me, making me a powerful and beautiful demon, only because I hid so well!"
At this point, the green-haired devil once again revealed a maniacal smile, his tone filled with piety, like an old man or woman preaching to people on the street.
After learning the truth, Xia Yan's lips twitched slightly.
It's clear that this bastard is truly loyal to Muzan.
He never expected that his biological father was a bandit who killed his entire family, and before he could finish killing them all, his youngest son returned as a ghost to seek revenge.
What a human tragedy this is!
Is this what makes Demon Slayer unique?
Those who had everything taken away became ghosts, and those who had everything taken away by ghosts became pillars.
It's absolutely impossible to like this bastard...
For a moment, Xia Yan actually felt that the evil spirit in front of him had become the side of justice. After all, in his mind, paying back debts and paying for murder with one's life were the most just actions.
If these things happened to me, I'd shake all the eggs in my house until the yolks were broken, and I'd even split an earthworm in half if I caught it in the ground.
Chapter Seven: The Villain's Professional Ethics is...
"Oh, right! Let's play a game!"
As if he had thought of something interesting, the green-haired ghost's mouth split open, revealing a smile that once again resembled a pumpkin head.
"That lord rewarded me for hiding well. If you can hide just as well as I can, I'll reward you too! Now I'm going to close my eyes and count to one hundred!"
"During this time, you can hide anywhere in this room! I will look for you for five minutes. If I don't find you within those five minutes, I will spare your life."
"Ah~, this sounds like it'll be fun, I'm going to start counting now—"
As he spoke, the green-haired ghost actually closed his eyes, leaving the door wide open without fear that Xia Yan might take the opportunity to escape.
Perhaps he was confident that if Xia Yan escaped, he would definitely be able to catch him and eat him.
However, Xia Yan would never do something as tasteless as running away. He still wanted to use this ghost that had come to his door to test the abilities he had just acquired.
"White Eye - Open!"
The blood vessels and veins around Xia Yan's eyes suddenly bulged.
He felt that both his dynamic and static vision had been dramatically improved.
Even without moving his eyes and body, he can take in the entire 360-degree scene around him, and if he wants, he can even stand in the room and see the entire scene within a one-kilometer radius.
Furthermore, he could sense that this was not the limit; if his own strength were to improve, the range of his vision would become increasingly exaggerated.
The green-haired demon, who had previously looked human, became transparent, looking like a mannequin placed in a hospital.
The expansion and contraction of the lungs when the other person breathes, the speed of blood flow in the blood vessels, and the movement of muscles and bones are all clearly visible.
You can even see a cold, chakra-like energy originating from the brain, attached to the blood, flowing through the demon's body.
However, it is closer to pure spiritual energy than chakra.
This energy should be the source of the Blood Demon Art.
Judging from the amount of energy in this green-haired demon's body, he should be the worst kind of demon who can't use Blood Demon Art.
It seems that the Kibutsuji Muzan-sama, whom he worships and regards as a god, doesn't take him seriously at all.
The above changes are only improvements in vision. After activating the White Eye, one's physical abilities and various senses are also enhanced due to the abnormal blood flow.
"Isn't this what they call the 'Transparent World,' and the ultimate enhanced version at that..."
Xia Yan's lips curled up slightly.
I never imagined that the strongest power that humans in the Demon Slayer world could master would be so easily taken down by me!?
"No, although their insight has reached or even surpassed the level of 'Transparent World,' they probably don't possess the ability to conceal murderous intent or emotions. In other words, they have the material foundation, but their spiritual level is still slightly lacking."
"It should be described as an unfinished version of 'The Transparent World.'"
After testing the Byakugan's performance in the Demon Slayer world, Natsuhiko stretched his body and did a set of flexibility exercises.
The previous feeling of weakness has completely disappeared. Although the body is still very slender and thin, it is full of strength. The bones even have a certain degree of toughness, and can make movements that defy human physiology.
Moreover, it has a very strong vitality, and the abrasions on its body have even healed.
With sufficient nutrition, Xia Yan's body will quickly become stronger, as if he has been given hormones.
"She inherited some of the Lunarian physique, and—"
Xia Yan looked down at his palm, where a blazing flame was burning quietly, meandering and dancing in his hand according to his will, as if it had its own life.
"He even inherited the flames of the Lunaria race. So, apart from the wings and that rubber-like elasticity, he has basically perfectly inherited the abilities of the Lunaria race."
"However, it seems that the Stand and Black Phantom cannot be released for some reason."
"I can clearly feel those things existing inside my body, but it's as if some necessary conditions are missing, and I can't release them."
After several unsuccessful attempts, Xia Yan pondered with some confusion.
Then, looking at the silly boy standing in front of him with his eyes still closed, he suddenly realized something and slammed his fist into his palm.
"It's probably because the humans in this world don't have the ability to unleash these supernatural powers. If they become demons, they can manifest these abilities in the form of Blood Demon Arts."
"However, I have no interest in becoming a ghost until I overcome my weakness to sunlight. I'll think about that after I find the Blue Spider Lily."
Thinking of this, Xia Yan smiled somewhat nonchalantly.
For him, Stands and Black Phantom are not particularly necessary abilities, since as far as he knows, his Stand in the JOJO world is just a blank Stand.
Its strength and speed are not outstanding; it simply has a pair of wings that allow it to fly in the sky and generate ripples with its own breath.
"Next comes the most important test—"
Chapter Eight: My First Father
"breathe--".
Clear breathing sounds emanated from Xia Yan's mouth and nose.
As if by instinct, Xia Yan changed his breathing pattern.
A warm, sun-like ripple generated in his blood with each breath, spreading throughout his body. Pale golden light, slightly crackling with electricity, flickered on his body with each breath, giving him a sense of vitality.
Ripple breathing technique.
"I can't believe it actually works! Now I'm the bane of demons! This is what a real Demon Slayer looks like!"
Looking at the ripples created by his breathing, Xia Yan almost burst out laughing.
"No rush, no rush. We haven't tested whether this ripple will actually work on ghosts yet."
Xia Yan calmed himself down and looked once more at the green-haired ghost standing in front of him, eyes closed, waiting to die.
Coincidentally, at that moment, the other person had also finished counting to 100 in their mind and opened their eyes, which were as wide as a goat's.
Their eyes met once again, just like when Xia Yan hid under the bed earlier.
However, the difference in strength between the two had already changed significantly.
"Huh? Why didn't you hide?"
Seeing Xia Yan standing in front of him as if no one else was there, the green-haired ghost tilted his head in confusion, his small eyes filled with great doubt.
His response was a fist that flashed with sparks as bright as the sun.
"I'll hide your mother's banana-shaped lollipop! Engraved in the rhythm of ripples! Eat me—"
"—Oppa Doraemon!!!"
thump.
This punch sent the green-haired ghost's head flying.
In that instant, the green-haired demon's eyes were dazed, and his entire face looked like a live Sakaban turtle.
The brain is trembling.
He simply couldn't understand what had happened. This human, who had been as vulnerable as a lamb, had suddenly turned around and smashed his head off with a casual punch!
Although he didn't know the phrase "pretending to be weak to eat the strong," at this moment he understood its meaning without being taught.
However, it's clear that the green-haired devil wronged Xia Yan.
After all, just a few minutes ago, he was really terrible at the game.
"You...you despicable scoundrel—!!!"
"——Ming Shenyue!!!"
"I hate it so much, waa ...
With a final, agonizing scream, the ripples remaining in the green-haired demon's head finally erupted.
His head instantly turned bright red, like a boiled lobster, and then, like burning paper, it turned into a cloud of ashes that drifted into the air.
"Just say you can eat people, stop with the nonsense."
As he said this, Xia Yan calmly wiped his hands with his worn-out clothes, his movements exuding an inexplicable elegance and nonchalance.
There was not a trace of pity in his eyes; instead, there was a hint of pleasure.
It's like a child smiling as they pour boiling water into an anthill.
He derives a certain pleasure from the ghost's suffering.
"Huh, why do I derive pleasure from the suffering of others? Am I not a good person at heart? Impossible! My spirit shines as brightly as gold!"
"Whatever, it doesn't matter. I've already transmigrated, so being happy is the most important thing..."
"Speaking of which, my old man really robbed quite a bit back in the day. No wonder he spent his days eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring instead of working, yet he had so many treasures hidden in the house."
As he spoke, Xia Yan dug up the ground, revealing a dazzling golden light.
