Chapter 133 The Hand Demon, 4 Years
Seeing Li Lei swinging the long stick in his hand, wanting to strike again, the Hand Ghost was frightened and dared not resist in the slightest.
"My lord, please stop hitting me. I know I was wrong," the Hand Ghost pleaded with Li Lei.
"You know you're wrong, but do you know where you went wrong?" Li Lei stepped forward, stepped on the hand ghost's head, and asked in an icy tone.
"My mistake was not to greet you immediately, sir, and to keep you waiting. I was also wrong not to respond immediately when I heard you calling me," the Hand Ghost replied, his voice trembling.
"Wrong! You shouldn't have met me."
After saying that, Li Lei suddenly exerted force with the sole of his foot, crushing the hand ghost's head to pieces, scattering white brain matter everywhere.
Even so, Li Lei felt that the punishment for the ghost was still not enough. He used his foot, which had crushed the skull, to rub the scattered brains on the ground until they were crushed into pieces before he felt satisfied.
Hand Demon is arguably one of the demons that Lee Rui hates the most in Demon Slayer. It's already a good thing that he didn't chop him into mincemeat the moment they met.
Even if he wasn't chopped into mincemeat, Li Lei didn't intend to let him off easily. After all, his actions still angered Li Lei greatly—cruelly eating innocent people, breaking up their families, and causing an infuriating tragedy.
The moment Li Lei saw him, he became even angrier. He was such an ugly monster that he wanted to kill him right now.
Li Lei had always had a bad impression of the Ghost, and if he weren't useful to Li Lei, he would want to kill him right now.
Looking at the still somewhat useful Hand Ghost, I'll consider the attack just now as a greeting gift to him.
Half an hour later, the Hand Ghost finally restored its shattered head and broken body, which had been smashed by Li Lei. As soon as its body and head were restored, it saw Li Lei still in front of it, and the Hand Ghost was so frightened that it almost lost its soul.
"Ah—you're still here. Don't hit me, I was wrong, sir."
Upon seeing Li Lei, the Hand Demon immediately grew countless arms in panic, covering its head. It feared that Li Lei would repeat what he had just done, chopping it into pieces and crushing its skull.
Li Lei was quite satisfied with the current behavior of the hand ghost, who was terrified of him like a ghost. Now that he was in a better mood, he naturally wouldn't hit him anymore.
The Hand Ghost had been terrified by Li Lei, and the seed of fear had taken root and grown in his heart, becoming a terrible inner shadow.
"Hand Demon, the feeling of your body being torn apart must have been unpleasant, and the pain of your head being crushed must have been excruciating. These are feelings that will stay with you for a long time. Enjoy the gift I've brought you for the rest of your life."
Li Lei smiled and said to the ghost.
"Thank you so much for your gift, sir. I will never forget your kindness." The hand ghost, who was terrified of Li Lei, stammered.
"Oh—so you mean you want revenge on me? Fine, as long as you're not afraid of death and pain, come find me. I'll treat you well."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." The Hand Ghost kept kowtowing to Li Lei, admitting his mistake, fearing that Li Lei would beat and kick him again.
"It's best if you don't dare! If I find out you have any ulterior motives or tricks, I'll make you wish you were dead." Li Lei warned the hand ghost who was crawling on the ground.
"Yes, I know, I know," the Hand Ghost replied, kowtowing repeatedly to Li Lei.
Seeing the hand ghost kneeling cautiously on the ground, Li Lei, sensing that the ghost had no intention of resisting him, called him up.
"Alright, get up now. I have something to tell you."
"Yes, sir." The Hand Demon rose shakily, his massive body slowly rising with the help of his dozen or so arms.
"When were you locked up here? How many years have you been here, Hand Ghost?" Li Lei asked Hand Ghost.
"My lord, I was imprisoned by Urokodaki Sakonji during the Edo period, in the Keio era. It has been forty years."
Forty years have passed. The Hand Demon has been imprisoned for forty years, and Tanjiro, the protagonist of Demon Slayer, will arrive in six or seven years. At that time, I will be able to learn the flawed Sun Breathing technique from Tanjiro.
Li Lei was overjoyed to receive the exact time. He only needed to wait another six or seven years to meet the Demon Slayer protagonist siblings, who possessed a special constitution that allowed them to overcome sunlight. Then, his various plans could be implemented.
