Akaza, engrossed in his MLM scheme, didn't notice the exchange of glances between Kyojuro and Chinatsu, but even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.
"So? Kyojuro, Chinatsu, become demons, become my partners!"
"I refuse!!!"
Kyojuro gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly and leaped backward, his fighting stance completely changing.
"Flame Breathing - Ultimate Technique - Ninth Form - Purgatory!!!"
The fighting spirit emanating from Kyojuro resonated with the sword energy on the Nichirin Blade, igniting and erupting like hellfire from hell itself.
In Akaza's view, the fighting spirit emanating from Kyojuro suddenly surged rapidly, and Akaza pressed his body down and clenched his fists in excitement.
"Destruction Kill - Annihilation Style!!!"
A powerful force gathered in his fists. Akaza was extremely excited at this moment. He liked to fight against strong opponents, and among all types of battles, he preferred direct face-to-face clashes.
"Very good! Kyojuro! I knew I hadn't misjudged you! Come on, let me show you the power of a demon, and I'm sure you'll change your mind!!!"
Akaza shouted excitedly, and with a stomp of his feet, the ground beneath him shattered and caved in with a "bang!!!" He shot towards Kyojuro like a blue meteor.
Seeing Akaza's swift attack, Kyojuro took a deep breath. He didn't immediately rush towards Akaza, but instead, in the brief instant Akaza charged towards him, he gathered all the strength in his body into his palm.
In the blink of an eye, life and death hang in the balance; with immense force, one grasps the weight of a thousand pounds.
Crimson Blade!
The crimson hue belonging to the Crimson Blade rapidly ascended from the hilt, causing Akaza, with his keen senses, to freeze for a moment, a strong sense of crisis surging from Kyojuro.
Is this coming from Kyojuro?
Obviously not. Akaza's gaze immediately locked onto the sword in Kyojuro's hand. The Nichirin Blade already exuded an aura that made demons fear it, and now that aura had increased exponentially.
Getting hit by this knife would be very bad!!!
Akaza's keen senses triggered a strong alarm. He was charging with the "Destroyed Style" when he sensed Kyojuro drawing his crimson sword and stomped his feet, bringing the car to a frantic halt.
Seeing this, Kyojuro's eyes narrowed, and he charged towards Akaza with a powerful slash. The two were about ten meters apart, but this distance was nothing at their high speed.
Kyojuro instantly appeared in front of Akaza and swung his "Purgatory" attack towards Akaza's head.
Akaza activated his "Compass" in a flash, tilting his body to narrowly avoid Kyojuro's attack. But before Akaza could recover, Chinatsu appeared behind him with a "whoosh!"
The "compass" is not an absolute dodge, but rather a subconscious and fastest dodge when there is an opportunity to avoid it.
Ahead of him was Kyojuro, who had missed his first strike and was now charging at him again, while behind him was Chinatsu rapidly approaching. Akaza's mind raced, because in this situation, he couldn't possibly escape unscathed; he would at least have to take a hit.
After weighing the pros and cons, Akaza naturally chose to take Chinatsu's sword head-on. Although he had never seen Kyojuro's special sword before, both his warrior's intuition and his demon genes warned him to stay away from Kyojuro's sword.
After dodging Kyojuro's second strike with his "compass," Akaza quickly turned around, clenched his fist, and swung it at Chinatsu. He was prepared for his hand to be severed, since it wouldn't take a second for it to regenerate anyway.
As Akaza threw a punch straight at her, a faint smile appeared on Chinatsu's face as she gripped her ordinary Nichirin Blade.
Success!
It takes Kyojuro three or four seconds to activate his Crimson Blade, which is why Akaza was able to react in time, but Chinatsu doesn't need three or four seconds.
Through her tireless efforts, the time it takes for her to actively activate the Crimson Blade has been continuously decreasing. Now, it only takes her a little over a second to actively activate the Crimson Blade, and all this hard work is for this moment.
Just before Akaza and Chinatsu's Nichirin Blades were about to collide, a red tinge began to emerge from the bottom of the blades and quickly spread upwards.
When Chinatsu's Nichirin Blade truly clashed with Akaza's fist, Chinatsu's Nichirin Blade had already transformed into a crimson blade, and not just any ordinary crimson blade.
The blade is red at the tip and black at the back where there is no edge, creating a red and black contrast.
Upon seeing this Nichirin Blade, Akaza's pupils trembled, and a series of memories that did not belong to him surged up.
A brown-haired man with a solemn expression flashed through my sight, and after flashing twice, even deeper memories were stirred up.
"What's there to be happy about? What's there to be joyful about? What do you take life for?!"
The brown-haired man, wielding a unique Nichirin Blade identical to Chika's, ran step by step toward the viewer's perspective.
These are... Lord Muzan's memories?
Akaza's mind was suddenly jolted back to reality from the memory of Muzan, the Demon Gene. The instant his mind returned to his body, he clearly felt the waves of pain coming from the Crimson Blade cutting his arm.
He hadn't felt such pain in over a hundred years. Akaza gritted his teeth and endured the pain, sacrificing one of his arms to break free from the encirclement of Chinatsu and Kyojuro, creating distance between them.
Akaza gasped for breath, turning his head to look at his arm that Chinatsu had severed. Although he had tried his best to regenerate the severed limb, the regeneration speed was far from what he had hoped for.
"This sword can actually suppress the regeneration of demons?" Akaza said in disbelief. He had been a demon for so many years, and this was the first time such a thing had happened. Recalling the memories that had suddenly appeared in his mind, he even broke out in a cold sweat.
This memory...this feeling...
They all come from Lord Muzan…
Akaza found it hard to believe these fragments of memory. Similarly, Muzan, the Demon King, who was in the Infinity Castle at the moment, also had an expression of disbelief on his face, and his body was trembling slightly involuntarily.
Akaza read a vivid memory of Muzan from the Demon Gene, and Muzan also saw the Nichirin Blade that Chinatsu was holding, which was exactly the same as Yoriichi Tsugikuni's, from Akaza's memory.
As expected, the sword marks that appeared on the wall last time were left by the swordsman of the Breath of the Sun. This era still has a successor to Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
The same breathing method as Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
The same Nichirin sword as Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
The Demon King Muzan's face was already very pale, but at this moment it could only be described as deathly pale.
"Akaza!"
After thousands of miles away, Muzan's voice appeared in Akaza's mind. Akaza was slightly surprised at first, but then immediately showed a serious expression.
"Master Wuhan."
Upon hearing Akaza's voice, Muzan took a deep breath to calm himself down. After barely managing to regain his composure, he coldly ordered Akaza, "Use your full strength to eliminate all the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen in front of you, especially the one wielding the red and black Nichirin Blade!"
Muzan has absolute control over the demons under his command, even the Upper Rank demons, though the difference lies in whether it's easy or troublesome.
Muzan understood Akaza's troublesome personality trait of not killing women, and usually turned a blind eye to it, but now was not the time for him to show his "gentlemanly spirit".
Under Muzan's forceful intervention from a distance, Akaza's eyes gradually underwent subtle changes. In Akaza's mental judgment at this moment, Chinatsu had been expelled from the "female status." As for Kyojuro, although he still felt a little regretful, since Muzan had given the order, he should do his best to complete it.
Akaza took a step, and a twelve-pointed snowflake array appeared beneath his feet.
"It's a pity, but I have no choice but to let you die!"
