Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 167 Sending Xuanmi Away

Seeing that Xuanmi had clearly activated the Devourer physique, but it had no effect on the parasites in his body, Li Lei finally felt relieved.

The parasite inside Xuanmi's body was specially developed by him to address the unique characteristics of the Demon Eater's physique. It can analyze Xuanmi's physical changes at any time and provide him with power when necessary, allowing him to overcome life-or-death crises.

It can also help Genya eat the excess demon flesh when he has eaten too much demon and is unable to absorb it all at once. Most importantly, it can help him understand the changes in his physique at the exact moment he is eating demons.

What Li Lei needs to do next is to let him leave him and grow freely outside, quietly waiting for Xuan Mi's Ghost Eater physique to change and grow through different difficulties, and then finally come out to reap the rewards.

"Xuanmi, you'll have to walk this path alone from now on. But remember one thing: don't put any pressure on yourself when you eat demons."

"Your mother and younger siblings need you to save them. The information I left in your body can be used to analyze the physical information of the ghost you ate. This will be of great help to my research on how to turn your mother and younger siblings from ghosts back into humans."

"For the sake of your mother and younger siblings, so that they can recover to normal life as soon as possible, you must overcome this difficulty."

Li Lei immediately launched into a persuasive speech to Xuan Mi, even including the safety of his most cherished family members as a condition. His goal was for Xuan Mi to fully develop his Ghost Eater physique, allowing it to grow rapidly so Li Lei could obtain comprehensive information about its changes.

"My lord, I will." Xuanmi nodded heavily. As long as it could save his mother and younger siblings, he could endure the demon-eating.

With no way out, he now placed all his hopes on Li Lei. He would do anything Li Lei asked him to do, as long as it didn't harm innocent people. Even if it meant eating ghosts or becoming a demon himself, he wouldn't hesitate.

Seeing Xuanmi's determined gaze, Li Lei smiled with relief. He hadn't misjudged him after all. Although what he had asked Xuanmi to do wouldn't have much effect on turning his mother and younger siblings back into humans, Li Lei had intended to help him save his mother and younger siblings from the very beginning.

Li Lei opened the exit of the alternate dimension, looked at Xuan Mi, and smiled as he spoke to him.

"Alright, I have nothing more to give you. Now you can leave. Your brother is waiting for you outside. Go with him and do what you want to do."

"Sir, I..."

Xuanmi wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Li Lei sent him out of the alternate dimension.

In Shinazugawa Genya's house, his older brother Shinazugawa Sanemi knelt quietly, looking at a bright red samurai sword placed in front of him. The bright red blade and the seemingly dripping blood on the edge of the sword revealed the eeriness of the weapon before him; the sword seemed to be alive.

Sanemi was very troubled because of this sword.

The reason is that after killing a ghost with the weapon Li Lei gave him, he never wanted to use it again.

The knife is alive; it craves flesh and blood, the flesh and blood of a ghost, his flesh and blood.

Sanemi could never forget the sight of the demons who died under this red-bladed demon sword being instantly devoured by the blade.

This sword is too terrifying. Sanemi couldn't even imagine how that adult, whose entire body was shrouded in black shadows, obtained it.

This is clearly a demonic sword that devours all living beings it cuts. It was only after Sanemi stopped using this sword that he discovered that demons cannot be killed with ordinary swords.

Remembering what that person had said—that only the sun and a Nichirin Blade imbued with the sun's power could kill demons—Sanemi now only wanted the person to give him a new sword, a Nichirin Blade imbued with the sun's power to kill demons.

However, after speaking to that official, Li Lei, he received the reply that it was impossible.

At that moment, a red vortex appeared on the opposite wall. Sanemi thought it was Li Lei and was about to step forward to pay his respects when suddenly Genmi was thrown out of it, which startled Sanemi.

Sanemi, who had just realized what was happening, immediately went forward to check on his younger brother and asked if he was alright.

"Xuanmi, are you alright?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Genmi, still a little dizzy from being thrown out of the alternate dimension, forced himself to look at his brother.

"here it is……"

"Home! It's my own home."

In response to the somewhat confused Sanemi, Sanemi replied earnestly.

Upon hearing his brother Sanemi's words, Genya was startled and immediately came to his senses. He looked at the house, which had been damaged after his mother became a demon, and saw that it had already been repaired.

Genya knew without a doubt that these were all the results of his older brother Sanemi's efforts over the past few days. Seeing this, he felt a pang of guilt.

Seeing Genya's eyes darting around, Sanemi unconsciously turned her head to the side, afraid to meet Genya's gaze.

Although he repaired the damaged parts of the rooms himself, the money for the repairs was given by that person, and even though he didn't use much, he still used it. This made Sanemi feel very complicated.
