As the faint struggles ceased, Tanjiro’s eyes lost focus and dimmed. Soon, all signs of life vanished.
Tang An pulled the sheet to cover Tanjiro’s head and then moved to Zenitsu’s side. Zenitsu, snoring with a snot bubble on his nose, mumbled in his sleep.
Tang An acted quickly. One hand covered Zenitsu’s mouth and nose while the other pressed a knife to his throat. Zenitsu awoke with a start, his mouth and nose bleeding profusely, his eyes filled with the same emotions as Tanjiro’s—fear and disbelief.
Tang An’s actions were swift and decisive.
Once Zenitsu was dead, Tang An covered him with the blanket and moved to Inosuke, swiftly finishing him off as well. With the three of them taken care of, Tang An moved to a shadowy corner and observed Nezuko in a deep sleep.
In the end, Tang An decided to spare her.
He still hoped Nezuko might adapt to sunlight, especially now that Tanjiro was dead. This might catalyze Nezuko to unleash her full potential and become the queen of demons, making adjusting to sunlight a minor feat.
After all, in movies, anime, and novels, when a loved one dies, the protagonist often undergoes a dramatic transformation and becomes capable of defeating any obstacle in their path. Tang An decided to leave Nezuko alone for now.
Without a sound, Tang An disappeared from the treatment room. He needed to hunt down the Hashira and the Twelve Kizuki to earn more dice rolls.
He no longer had any reason to stay here.
This hunt for the chosen ones and key characters went surprisingly smoothly. In the future, he should integrate into the chosen one’s camp and strike unexpectedly to minimize any unforeseen circumstances.
Tang An had learned a valuable lesson.
However, such sneak attacks would need to occur when the chosen one is gravely injured or off guard. The best scenario would be when Luffy was still growing and wouldn’t waste much effort.
About an hour later, Tang An arrived in a nearby city and randomly chose a hotel to stay in.
“Successfully hunted the chosen one of the Demon Slayer world, Tanjiro Kamado—reward: 4 dice rolls, VIP luck +1.
Successfully hunted an essential character of the Demon Slayer world, Zenitsu Agatsuma. Depending on the situation, awarded 3 dice rolls, luck +1.
Successfully hunted an essential character of the Demon Slayer world, Inosuke Hashibira. Depending on the situation, awarded 3 dice rolls, luck +1.”
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Tang An opened the interface and looked at the information, a smile forming.
To ensure their deaths, he had beheaded all three.
Tang An was thrilled, earning ten dice rolls with one VIP luck and two regular luck boosts.
Even if the other seven rolls yielded junk, these three would give him something good.
“Begin.”
The fist-sized dice began to spin, and finally, a model airplane crossed four spaces.
“Do you want to use luck or VIP luck?”
Looking at the prompt on the interface, Tang An’s eyes focused, and he chose to use luck.
A blinding light filled the room, and Tang An’s eyes were filled with joy when it faded.
“Finger Pistol.”
“Description: Finger Pistol is one of the ‘Six Powers’ in One Piece. It concentrates all the body’s strength into the fingers, allowing them to harden and instantly release a bullet-like attack.
The fingertip has the power of a bullet, capable of easily piercing through a human body or even steel…
It can also concentrate the body’s strength into the toes.”
Tang An shivered with excitement and eagerly absorbed all the knowledge and techniques.
After a shiver, his face showed slight disappointment.
Like Shave and Moonwalk, it required step-by-step training. The dream of instantly mastering the skill was shattered.
“Continue.”
Tang An quickly recovered and started the second dice roll.
This time, the airplane crossed six spaces.
Tang An thought for a moment and used luck again.
“Great Dragon.”
“Description: Chant the incantation, ‘Bold demon! How dare you show your minor skills in front of me! Great Dragon, Lord Jizo! Great Law Incantation, Prajna Buddha! Prajna Paramita!’
Not afraid of the thousand-year-old White Snake, but fear the tattooed monk.
Note: It gathers a grand dragon in the palm, increasing its power with the user’s strength.”
This was another skill, but Tang An’s expression was strange.
It felt so dramatic.
Attacking required chanting an incantation, which seemed more like a divine skill from a cultivation world than a martial arts skill.
If there was one Buddhist skill Tang An remembered vividly, it was the Buddha Palm, especially in Stephen Chow’s “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons,” where the Buddha Palm was terrifying.
Condensing the proper form of the Buddha, it was larger than Earth, and a single palm strike seemed to cover the sky.
This Great Dragon’s power increased with the user’s strength, so as long as Tang An’s power was great enough, summoning a dragon thousands or tens of thousands of meters long would be no problem.
Suppressing his excitement, Tang An felt a surge of energy.
This seemingly useless golden finger was all-encompassing, from trivialities to the impossible.
And this was just with regular luck. He still had a VIP luck boost.
After another shiver, Tang An started the third dice roll.
This time, he decided to use VIP luck directly.
The dice spun and jumped, and the model airplane crossed three spaces. As the VIP luck was used, a bright light shone and faded.
Tang An’s face turned red with excitement as he read the description on the screen, almost in disbelief.
“Ki.”
“Description: The cultivation system ‘Ki’ from Dragon Ball. Ki is the fundamental life energy within living beings. With training, one can freely manipulate this energy.
Equivalent to Chakra in Naruto, Spiritual Pressure in Bleach, Haki in One Piece, Inner Energy in martial arts novels, Spiritual Energy in cultivation novels, and the most basic physical energy, blood energy, life energy, etc.
Ki is the foundation of everything and can activate any power system, technique, etc., in any world, provided the user knows how to utilize those systems and methods.”
Tang An’s breathing became heavy, unable to suppress his excitement.
Ki, the cultivation system from Dragon Ball.
What kind of world is Dragon Ball?
A world where it’s easy to destroy planets or even entire universes.
Those are low-level worlds compared to Attack on Titan, One Piece, and Demon Slayer. In Dragon Ball, a casual attack could destroy a planet.
He had obtained the cultivation method and techniques of “Ki.”
Moreover, the description suggested that “Ki,” as the fundamental physical and life energy, could drive any technique from any world.
For example, Susanoo, Planetary Devastation, and Almighty Pull from Naruto…
The three types of Haki from One Piece…
However, there was a prerequisite—he needed to acquire the techniques and methods to utilize them.
Simply put, “Ki” could be treated as the fundamental life energy, which can also be referred to as chakra, spiritual pressure, true qi, spiritual energy, etc.
This was a golden opportunity!
Previously, Tang An focused on external training. Now, with the cultivation of “Ki,” he would be strong both externally and internally.
“Worthy of VIP luck!”
After absorbing the cultivation methods and techniques of “Ki,” Tang An looked at the screen displaying Finger Pistol, Great Dragon, and Ki, feeling that luck was precious.
“I still have seven chances. They might not yield great things.”
Tang An had mentally prepared himself and continued to roll the dice.
