Chapter 246
Mr. Komaji's blood demon art of destruction, Compass, can determine the opponent's position by sensing the opponent's fighting spirit. It is a martial art close to the highest state of "transparent world".
In his domain, no one can escape his perception.
Hantengu's four avatars - Ji Nu, Ke Le, Kong Xi and Ai Jue - have the same face but different abilities, distributed in different locations.
They couldn't do anything to Mr. Komaji, but they were able to restrain Mr. Komaji at this time because a demon itself cannot kill another demon.
Mr. Komaji grabbed the cross-shaped gun with one hand and pierced it with his fingers. Unlike the passionate fight against Mr. Purgatory, Mr. Komaji had a look of disgust between his brows.
The technique was launched, Destruction Killing·Air Style——He used his fist to launch six consecutive hits into the void. The impact of the fists scattered in all directions, piercing through the heads of the four clones, and at the same time, two punches directly blocked the escape route of the original "Qie".
In the moment of slowing down Hantengu's pace, Mr. Komaji had already caught the flaw. In less than a second, his body flew into the air, and half of his strength was compressed into his right fist. As Hantengu's body retreated, he smashed it down fiercely.
I followed the developments on the battlefield, and it seemed as if the balance of the battle was tilting towards us.
But no—I felt a strong sense of violation.
Even among the Upper Six, there is an insurmountable gap between the top three and the bottom three. No matter how much Muzan Muzan improves, it will be very difficult to cross this gap in the short term.
This is because his blood cannot be distributed to others without restraint. This is the law of ghost evolution.
Being able to restrain Mr. Komaji now was probably the limit of Hantengu, and he didn't even dare to use his ultimate move - Hantengu had a move that could fuse all his clones together to form an extremely strong single body. But he knew very well that he could still restrain Mr. Komaji by relying on the coordination of the clones, but once they were combined into one body, Mr. Komaji would definitely hang him up and beat him.
See, this logic is very strange.
Even though he was strengthened, he didn't think about fighting, but instead thought about holding Mr. Komaji back.
Could it be that he still has some tricks up his sleeve that he hasn't used yet?
I frowned. My perception is definitely not strong. I can't feel anything.
"Mr. Ao!" Tanjiro Kamado's voice called me back from my overly focused thoughts. I came back to my senses and saw him holding my shoulders. "Are you okay? Are you okay?"
Through his dark red pupils, I saw my pale face, my mouth bitten from pain, and my hair soaked with cold sweat.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but the marks on my face seem to have faded a lot—
No, this is the mark I got after crossing the line between life and death. If it disappears, it means my death.
I can't die yet.
It is not time to die yet.
——"It's not the right time yet"
——“Can’t disappear”
--"go back"
——"I must go back"
Subconsciously, I covered my face with one hand.
Who was talking in my head? It made me feel as if a needle was stabbing into my temple for a moment.
The aftereffects of the cure are the persistent severe pain and sudden weakness of the legs.
A hand reached out from behind me and rested on my shoulder.
My hands are so cold, as if they don’t have the warmth of a human being.
Is it Fushigawa Genya?
Have you been affected by the ghost's flesh and blood to this extent?
I turned my head in a trance, but met a pair of eyes that were as beautiful as glass. The seven colors blended together, if they could be placed under the sun, they must be very beautiful, very beautiful -
"Hey, Green Spider Lily Sang, long time no see. How are you and Master Yiwo doing?" That gentle, spring-like voice.
It's so strange. I obviously hate the smell of this person, but why... his voice seems to be a voice I have heard from far away.
The next second, I suddenly woke up.
"Douma!" I yelled, but I couldn't catch up with this ghost that was so fast that I couldn't react. When I reacted, I found myself standing in a pool of blood.
With a "bang", the lifeless body of the forgeman fell to the ground. The huge wound caused by the brutal method in that instant caused heavy bleeding. Before his body fell to the ground, a large amount of blood had already gushed out and pierced into my skirt.
"Demon--" Fuzugawa Genya didn't notice Douma approaching at all until he spoke in my ear.
Before he could even utter the word "ghost", he suddenly and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
It’s poison, a poison unique to the second Upper Moon, Douma!
I looked up and saw Tanjiro Kamado's pupils shrinking. Then, just one beat slower than Genya Fushigi, blood began to gush out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
Such poison is simply not something that swordsmen like them can resist!
Holy Shield and healing abilities cannot be used at the same time. If used -
“Komaji——!”
Along with my voice, a huge snowflake suddenly appeared in the sky. The blue-green fighting spirit gathered at one point, and in an instant it exceeded the limit of what sound could convey.
At this speed, no matter who he caught and left, as long as they were humans, they would not be able to withstand this extreme speed and would die instantly.
Even my healing speed can't keep up.
However, there was only one exception.
Nezuko Kamado, Nezuko Kamado who is a demon!
"Hey, Akazakaku..." In the moment when Douma didn't even react, Mr. Komaji understood what I meant and took Nezuko away from the scene. In order to escape from Hantengu's control, he almost completely gave up on defense, leaving a leg and two arms between them.
Fortunately, his fast regeneration speed allowed him to clear out the area smoothly.
The light of the blue spider lily created by God - my power!
No longer restrained, I released all the energy stored in my body, and uncontrollable green light instantly spread out with me as the center.
Ah—it hurts!
I gritted my teeth. Expanding my abilities over such a large range would cause my power to explode without restraint, stimulating all the characteristics of the blue spider lily.
The effect of demon blood on the body, all the poison from Douma and the internal damage caused by the poison were fed back to me.
I endured the pain in my lungs and took a deep breath, letting my breathing continue. In order to reduce the impact of the poison on the body as much as possible, Tanjiro Kamado, who is good at breathing techniques, expanded the power in a very short time. This feeling was transmitted to my body, and for someone like me who had not received breathing training, it was a pain that made it almost impossible to breathe.
And the wound on his neck, which ran from the side of his neck to the lower back, penetrating the entire body and almost cut the forger in half, also completely recovered under the stimulation of my ability.
The opposite is suffocating pain.
I hate pain.
Especially the kind of pain that brings death.
“Ah——!” Hantengu’s clone let out a sound like slaughtering a pig, the sound almost distorted the space and made people want to vomit.
This is a sonic attack, Kongxi's sonic attack.
I frowned. Not only did my ears bleed, but the injuries of other people who were attacked would also be instantly healed because of this diffusion area. All the pain from the eardrum to the internal organs would be transferred to me at the same time.
The winged Kong Xi lifted off the ground with his tiny original body, and the green light burning the evil creatures etched color on the body of his clone, as if it were illuminated by sunlight.
The longer I bathe in the sun, the more my holy shield smells of sunshine, and the better it repels evil.
But one thing increases while the other decreases. If you want the energy system to heal the wound, it needs a lot of nutrients.
Curses, curses alone are not enough.
The pain and the exhaustion brought by the rapid healing made me feel a sense of emptiness in my body, and this emptiness was even gradually surpassing the pain that I had begun to get used to.
"Ah - last time in the Infinite City, Hua Sang really did have a trick up his sleeve." Douma stepped on the fallen branches. The small branches, which were only as thick as a finger, were able to support his body.
The blood-spattered hair on Douma's head was regenerating. Unlike the effect on Hantengu, Douma was not seriously injured by such a scattered attack.
The first wave of compressed explosive force closest to me was avoided by his extremely high ability to sense danger, and the expanding force did not reach the level of an explosion.
"Huff--Huff--" I was breathing heavily. If it weren't for Fuzugawa Genya supporting me from behind, I would have difficulty even standing. I hadn't rested for a long time, hadn't eaten enough, and hadn't even gotten enough sunlight. Such explosive power almost exhausted my strength.
"Ah - how pitiful, Hana-san. If you were alone, you wouldn't have to suffer like this." Douma held the fan and tapped his chin. His pupils, which were engraved with Upper Rank Two, were focused on me. With an almost pitiful tone, tears flowed from his eyes, "How pitiful, it's really too pitiful. Let me help you escape from the sea of suffering. Come with me - back to the Infinite City, back to the side of Master Wuye. You were meant to exist for us."
Tanjiro Kamado stepped forward and blocked Douma's and my line of sight. Although he didn't have the Sun Sword, his burning pattern was across his head, and his firm will prevented him from retreating even a single step.
The forger sat on the ground, as if he had just recovered from the fear of death.
I pulled the bloody letter from under my skirt and threw it into the blacksmith's arms. "Add Upper String 24's name and send a message. Don't go to the headquarters, go to the nearest training ground."
The battlefield here is definitely not something this knife forger can endure. Hurry up and leave, the farther the better.
Douma will ignore him and he won't let his eyes leave me.
The crows in Forge Village should still have records of several key fixed locations.
At least before the martial arts arena is moved, the crow should know the location.
I don’t know where the crow just now flew to, so I can only fight this battle with the mentality of no reinforcement!
I pulled out the Sunlight Blade from Genya Busei's waist with my backhand. The Sunlight Blade that failed to change color could hardly exert its original power, and Genya himself was not good at using a sword.
I need to allow them to maximize their limited capabilities.
It's not that I have the intention to kill Douma, but I can only have the intention to keep him.
The area nearby was attacked by Mr. Komaji's magic and there was no cover left. Once the sun rose, both Douma and Hantengu would be dead for sure.
But it was just getting dark.
Then we can only——
"What are you doing, Mr. Ao!" Tanjiro Kamado watched me hold the blade closest to the handle in my right hand. The sharp blade instantly cut my skin, and blood flowed along the direction of the blade.
Ignoring Tanjiro Kamado's voice, I exerted force with my left hand and pulled the knife out again. The color of the knife was very light among the dripping blood.
After the power is released, the blood in my body will be stimulated, and the concentration and precision will increase. The ingredients of the blue spider lily's flower juice will exceed my current human body.
The glowing blood did not drip from the tip of the knife, but instead lingered on the blade, forming patterns like red spider lilies.
The damage such a knife would do to demons is self-evident, so I threw it to Tanjiro Kamado.
"Fight, don't worry about me, get ready to fight!"
For a swordsman like him, without his sword he would lose his fighting power.
My hand, which was unable to heal on its own due to excessive lack of nutrition, was placed near Xuanmi's mouth.
He stared at my hand and was stunned for a moment, and the blood rubbed onto his lips. I frowned and said in a sharp voice: "Hurry!"
If his special digestive system can digest the flesh and blood of ghosts, then correspondingly, the flesh and blood of the blue spider lily should have the same effect on him!
If he didn't have enough strength, he wouldn't be able to touch the flesh and blood of Hantengu and Douma, and he wouldn't be able to use his abilities.
Moreover, it is simply impossible for his body to directly withstand the ability of the upper string.
will die.
I pinched his face with one hand, forced open Xuan Mi's teeth, and stuffed the wound with my blood and flesh into his mouth, pressing against the root of his tongue.
"Komaji's severed body is behind you. Your body can only withstand it if you combine it with my power. Stay alive. Only by staying alive can you save me."
Otherwise, even if he forcibly merged with the power of the Upper Rank, when the power faded, it would inevitably take his life.
I felt Xuanmi's trembling teeth stuck in my wound.
Using human blood and flesh like the demons is a fact that the members of the Demon Slayer Corps cannot accept no matter what.
A blue light flashed in my eyes, and my soft hair fluttered behind my head.
Look carefully, I am not human!
