Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 140 Crisis, The Butterfly Sisters

Pei summoned twice as many shadow wolves again to attack Kocho Shinobu and her companions, determined to see some casualties. Faced with twice the number of shadow wolves, the sisters' situation became even more precarious.

Kanae and Shinobu began to show signs of injury. Not satisfied with this, Pero picked up a revolver, pointed it at Shinobu's parents, and fired several shots with an evil smile.

Faced with the rapidly approaching bullets, Kanae hurriedly used her Nichirin Blade to block them, but she was still accidentally shot in the shoulder.

"Sister! Are you alright?"

Seeing Kanae injured, Shinobu Kocho looked worried. She blamed herself for being too weak; if she were strong enough, her sister wouldn't have gotten hurt.

"Shinobu, I'm fine. But be careful of the gun he has."

Despite the pain in her shoulder, Kanae smiled and spoke to the butterfly.

Seeing her older sister, who, even injured, still cared for her, Shinobu felt a pang of sadness. If only she were strong enough, her sister wouldn't have gotten hurt.

"Hahaha, you swordsmen can't beat those who use guns. You swordsmen are outdated. This is the age of guns. Guns are the strongest weapons!"

"You'd better be prepared to be shot dead by me right here, you outdated and useless swordsmen."

"I've just been promoted to Lower Moon Two," Pero said arrogantly, then pulled a machine gun from his shadow.

"You should experience its power for yourselves. The gun is the strongest."

Pedro excitedly held the machine gun he had just acquired in both hands and aimed it at the Shinobu Kocho sisters.

Seeing Pero pull out a strange iron contraption made of multiple tubes connected in parallel, Kanae frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping over her. Although she didn't know what it was, her intuition told her that this oddly shaped weapon was dangerous.

"Die! You damned swordsmen!"

Peron, holding the machine gun, immediately pulled the trigger, and countless golden sparks burst out of the muzzle.

"Oh no, it's dangerous!"

As countless bullets flew towards them, Kanae and Shinobu Kocho felt a deep sense of despair; there were just too many bullets coming at them, and they couldn't stop them.

"Are we going to die?! Someone, please save us!"

As death approached, Kanae felt as if time had suddenly slowed down. Memories from her entire life flashed through her mind, including one of her encounters with a lovely boy.

"I'm tired. If you were here, I would be so glad. You're so strong, you could definitely defeat this monster."

Just then, a miracle occurred. The Nichirin Blades in the sisters' hands suddenly changed, and countless white threads instantly emerged from the hilts, enveloping Shinobu and her family in a white ball of thread for protection.

Pero's machine gun bullets all hit the surface of the white silk ball, without harming Shinobu's family at all.

"This is?"

"Blood Demon Art!"

Why do they have Blood Demon Art? Isn't that an ability only demons possess? Pero was quite surprised to see the white silk ball protecting Shinobu's family.

"Wait, this isn't the ability of any one of them, it's—a ghost is helping them."

So what! He is now the Lower Moon Two, Pero, and he doesn't care about anyone except the Upper Moon. A mere ball of silk threads can't stop him from killing them.

Thinking of this, Pero pulled a bomb from the shadows and threw it at the white ball of yarn.

Kanae, who thought she was safe in the ball of yarn, was suddenly startled and felt danger again. Without thinking, she immediately hugged Shinobu Kocho and quickly used her back to shield her parents.

"boom--"

A loud explosion rang out as the bomb thrown by Pero exploded, releasing a large amount of light and heat. The powerful destructive force blasted the white ball of yarn five or six meters away, and the family inside the ball suffered some damage as a result of the bomb.

Kanae, who was most affected by the explosion, turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood. Several blood lines flowed again from the gunshot wound on her shoulder due to the impact of the bomb's explosion.

"Sister, are you alright? Sister."

Shinobu, nestled in Kanae's arms, watched her older sister being injured again, her heart filled with anger and sorrow. If only Shinobu were truly powerful, her sister wouldn't have to get hurt.

"Xiao Ren, I'm fine."

"But the balls that were left behind as a form of protection..."

Kanae stared at the thread ball, now riddled with holes, and despair washed over her once more. The thread ball, her last hope, was broken. Were she, Shinobu, her father, and her mother truly going to die?

"It's alright, at least our family will be together until the end," the father comforted Kanae.

Outside the white ball of yarn, Pero looked at the cracked yarn ball, now damaged by his own bomb, and smiled with satisfaction.

As expected, he is strongest when he uses guns and bombs. It won't be long before he gets revenge on Rengoku Makijuro and becomes an Upper Moon demon.

Seeing the hole and the Kocho family, who were no longer able to resist, Pei Lang was delighted and immediately sent out his Shadow Wolf to attack them.

Seeing the Shadow Wolf charging towards them, Shinobu and Kanae's eyes were resolute. They were determined to make one last struggle, even if it meant certain death, they would not die in fear.

Suddenly, things took a turn for the better. A beam of white light shot into the battlefield and instantly shattered the Shadow Wolf that was charging at the front.

"who!"

Peron was startled by the sudden appearance of the uninvited guest. Not knowing who it was, he felt a sense of fear.

Li Lei stood up from the shattered Shadow Wolf, ignoring Pei Lang, and instead looked at the injured Kanae in the ball and the exhausted Shinobu Kocho.

"Sorry, I am late."

Seeing Kanae and Shinobu's heartbreaking appearance, Li Lei said with some self-reproach.

"Tired! Is it really you?" x2

Looking at Rui, who had a pair of white wings and looked like an angel, Shinobu and Kanae couldn't believe their eyes.

"It's me, I'm back."

Li Lei spoke gently to Kanae and Shinobu.

Hearing Li Lei's words, Shinobu and Kanae felt a warmth in their hearts, realizing how wonderful it was to have met Lei in this world.

Seeing the three people seemingly exchanging flirtatious glances in front of him, Pei Lang's veins bulged, feeling insulted.

"You bastard, are you pretending I don't exist?" Peron roared angrily.
