Kokushibo's six eyes were fixed on Chinatsu, who was holding a clear blue Nichirin Blade.
The color of the Nichirin Blade symbolizes the breathing style used by the breathing swordsman. A blade with such a color must belong to a Water Breathing swordsman, and its color alone shows that Chinatsu has exceptional talent in Water Breathing.
However, this alone did not seem to be enough to defeat Hantengu, because Kokushibo discovered that Chinatsu's body was not only unharmed, but her clothes were also undamaged, which meant that Chinatsu had almost crushed Hantengu.
Kokushibo stared at Chinatsu, and under his "Transparent World," he discovered a peculiar aura emanating from her.
At first, Kokushibo thought that Chinatsu had also reached the "Transparent World" like himself, but the next second Kokushibo denied this possibility.
He had entered this realm several hundred years ago, so he could still tell whether the other party was at the same realm as him.
The opponent is definitely not a "transparent world", but it is also not a mortal realm without any special phenomena. Before this, Kokushibo always believed that the Transparent World of the Selfless Realm was the pinnacle of martial arts, but now it seems that it may not be.
interesting.
Kokushibo stared at Chinatsu in front of him, and after thinking for a moment, he extended a hand to her.
"Do you want to become a ghost?"
Kokushibo extended an invitation to Chinatsu as a demon.
Chika was stunned for a moment when she heard Kokushibo's opinion. For a moment, she even thought that she had time-traveled back to the Infinite Train arc and met Akaza, the top MLM employee.
“Although you killed Hantengu, that only proves that Hantengu was not strong enough. Now that the Upper Moon is vacant and you are very strong, I can recommend you to Lord Muzan so that you can become the new Upper Moon.” Kokushibo said to Chika.
He is serious.
Kokushibo is a martial artist, so he naturally has a certain amount of pity for those with high martial arts skills. However, no matter how Kokushibo invites her, Chika will definitely not agree.
Qianxia smiled faintly and said, "According to your logic, doesn't that mean you've got me figured out? Sorry, I'm the one who'll be alive to face the next day."
As Chika spoke, she gripped her Nichirin Blade tightly and raised it, revealing clear water ripples on its azure blade.
Kokushibo shook his head helplessly at the scene, a regretful expression on his face. However, he did not give up completely. He planned to beat Chika half to death before giving her another chance.
"How foolish."
Kokushibo slowly drew his sword from its sheath. Although Chinatsu was mentally prepared, she was still disgusted by Kokushibo's sword.
Its sword is named "Kukushin-go," a samurai sword formed from the flesh and blood of Kokushibo. The blade, hilt, and guard are covered with eyeballs, and the scabbard is shaped like a fleshy tumor.
Seeing a samurai sword covered in eyes in real life is far more impactful than seeing it in a comic book.
"What a wickedly tasteful knife."
Chika couldn't help but complain, and then immediately entered battle mode. Despite facing such a strong enemy, Chika was surprisingly calm.
If Kokushibo had appeared earlier, Chinatsu might have been sweating profusely with nervousness, but in her "I am the only one who matters" state, Chinatsu was more excited than anything else, and a rather risky but feasible plan instantly formed in her mind...
"Breath of the Moon - First Form - Dark Moon - Night Palace!"
Kokushibo launched the first attack, wielding the Hollow Cry God Blade and slashing out with sharp speed. A powerful and incredibly wide sword aura was unleashed, and most importantly, countless crescent-shaped small sword auras were hidden within this wide and long sword.
Bang!!!
As the sword energy was unleashed, the trees in Qianxia's direction were cut down into a desolate wasteland, with loud crashes of trees rolling to the ground and thick smoke billowing out.
For normal people, thick smoke will obstruct their vision, but for those who have reached the "clear world," the thick smoke is useless.
It was dodged.
With a whoosh, Chika emerged from the thick smoke, her hands gripping the azure Nichirin Blade, a fierce water dragon coalescing on its blade.
"The Breath of Water, the Form of Gathering, the Flow of Life!"
Despite facing Chinatsu's powerful Water Breathing attack, Kokushibo showed no signs of calm or panic.
He had fought alongside various breathing swordsmen and was very familiar with the sword techniques and power of basic breathing swordsmen.
This move... is nothing to fear.
Kokushibo calmly watched Chika rush towards him and lifted up his Hollow Cry God.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two was reduced to within inches. Just as Kokushibo was about to slash downwards, the water emanating from the clear blue Nichirin Blade in Chika's hand was replaced by raging flames, and the blade turned from blue to black.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar flames, Kokushibo's eyes widened involuntarily.
"Hinokami Kagura: Flame Dance!"
Chinatsu suddenly switched her breathing and unleashed the Hinokami Kagura with a slash, but Kokushibo, having entered the Transparent World, managed to dodge the sudden attack by a hair's breadth.
However, Chika's attack did not end, because it was "Flame Dance" instead of "Round Dance," and it was a double attack.
However, after narrowly dodging the first attack, Kokushibo quickly recovered. If he couldn't even land the first attack so suddenly, the chances of the second attack hitting him would be even lower.
That would normally be the case, but unfortunately, Chika never follows the normal path. She opened her mouth as she lowered her head and unleashed her second sword strike.
"How pitiful, brother."
A sudden sentence disrupted Kokushibo's thoughts, because it was what Yoriichi had said to him when he met Yoriichi, who was about to die of old age, after he had become a demon. At that time, only he and Yoriichi were present, and there was no one else.
In that instant, the image of the elderly Yoriichi appeared in Kokushibo's eyes. Chinatsu seized the moment and swiftly slashed at Kokushibo's upper body. A flash of fire appeared, and a wide, long gash was cut into Kokushibo's upper body.
After delivering that slash, Chika quickly leaped backward to create distance between herself and Kokushibo, because the attack hadn't been very deep; even if it had been, it would only have caused pain to a demon.
Kokushibo glanced down at the scorching wound on his upper body, then stared in disbelief at Chika standing directly in front of him.
How did you know that phrase?!
Disbelief appeared in Kokushibo's eyes. Chinatsu raised one hand and messed up her original hairstyle, then used the hair tie that originally held her hairstyle in place to tie herself into a very simple high ponytail.
Under her grip, the black Nichirin Blade in Chika's hand gradually revealed a touch of red, transforming into a crimson blade similar to the one worn by Yorimitsu Tsugikuni.
"If I said I was the reincarnation of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, would you believe me?" Chinatsu looked at the shocked Kokushibo in front of her and said with a teasing smile.
