The tips of the two Nichirin Blades clashed together before spreading apart.
Using the force of Liu Zhuan, they unleashed Water Breathing, Sixth Form: Spiraling Vortex!
Two massive torrents of water collided and then separated. They retreated to opposite sides, staring intently at each other.
The twins, one a master of the other, were locked in a fierce battle that seemed impossible to break. As the two women fought passionately, Li Yunqing stood off to the side, casually enjoying some pastries and sipping Shuiyun Tea while watching their performance.
Sera and Lilu Lu exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and summoned a flow of water at the tips of their Nichirin Blades. With a powerful push off the ground, they charged at each other.
Water Breathing, Seventh Form: Liu Zhuan!
Their Nichirin Blades clashed repeatedly, causing the water flow to grow larger and wider. In just three seconds, they had exchanged dozens of strikes. What had started as small streams of water had now widened into a small creek.
Finally, their blades met once more, and the water swirling around them transformed into two colossal dragons made of water that surged toward each other. The two water dragons collided, continuously canceling each other out until they finally dissipated.
Both women halted their attacks, drenched from head to toe. They glanced in the direction of Torii and ran over to Li Yunqing.
With a casual wave of his hand, Li Yunqing summoned roots from the ground that slowly formed into a small house. The two women entered to change their clothes.
Li Yunqing looked back at the spot where the two had just battled; it was marked by a large area of dampness. He then noticed Torii, where someone was peeking curiously at him.
Upon seeing Li Yunqing, the person’s eyes lit up as they hurried over.
"Big Brother, are you the first one here?"
"Yes."
Li Yunqing examined the newcomer—ordinary in appearance and attire—concluding that he was just an extra in this unfolding story.
"Brother, you and I are in the same boat," Tian Zhong Fu Dong said, looking at Li Yunqing with a somewhat pleading expression.
Li Yunqing glanced at him.
"Are you here to seek help?"
"Well, yes. I was hoping that when we encounter each other inside, you could lend me a hand."
Tian Zhong Fu Dong studied Li Yunqing. During the selection process, his master had mentioned that the host was a descendant of the main family, always dressed in women's clothing. The handsome figure before him was definitely not the host, and anyone who brought a table to drink tea in this place was either a big shot or had some issues.
However, seeing Li Yunqing's calm demeanor, Tian Zhong Fu Dong felt that he was more likely to be a big shot. He didn't need Li Yunqing to lead him; he just hoped for some assistance when they crossed paths. He still had a bit of confidence in his own abilities.
Li Yunqing nodded in response to Tian Zhong Fu Dong's words.
Noticing that Li Yunqing seemed to ignore him, Tian Zhong Fu Dong smiled and nodded before stepping aside.
He had come early this morning specifically to build connections with those undergoing trials; every little relationship counted. After all, they would all be friends eventually, and he hoped for some support inside.
At that moment, Sera and Lilu Lu emerged from changing clothes, draped in the Hakama that Taki Sakonji had given them.
Any Killer Demon Swordsman wearing a Hakama typically indicated they had been trained by a pillar-level Cultivator or were the adopted children of one. The Hakama usually bore the colors of the Breathing Technique used by the pillar, and the two girls were adorned in blue.
Of course, there were also members of the Demon Slayer Corps who made their own Hakama, but those were rare.
