Chapter 261
Having a weapon imitating a Nichirin sword stuck in the chest was no joke, and this time it was inserted very deep, directly piercing through the wooden stake behind him.
I looked carefully and noticed that there was a very large hole in Muichiro's clothes on his entire right arm, and even a piece of cloth was missing. It was stained with blood, but there was no wound at all. It was the power of the blue spider lily that healed the wound.
I didn't notice this at first because almost my whole body was in pain. Unless it was a serious injury like Muichiro's that had pierced his heart, I wouldn't have noticed it at the first sight.
But because of this injury, Muichiro's sword was snatched away by Kokushibo and stuck in the ground nearby.
The knife made of blood magic was difficult for Muichiro to pull out with his bare hands, and he was also unable to cut it.
Then we can only——
I gathered the power of the pattern printed on Muichiro's chest, and quickly nibbled at the two edges in front and behind where the knife pierced, corroding it with the power of the sunlight that Xuanmi had inserted.
Muichiro was very sensitive and immediately felt the knife-like loosening of his chest. Although it was only a little, it already ignited his hope.
At this moment, the ceiling suddenly shattered, and huge flames fell from the rubble that fell from the ceiling.
——Breathing of Flame·Form Three·Breathing of Flame!
The chopping attack from top to bottom cut off Kokushibo's approach. At the same time, a tall figure appeared where Kokushibo was retreating. His double swords were accompanied by a huge sound and power and speed that matched the sound.
——Sound Breathing·First Form·Boom!
Mr. Tengen had Yushiro's talisman on his jeweled headband. The ninja's characteristics allowed him to take into account multiple perspectives at the same time - even perspectives that I found confusing. The Nichirin sword swung violently sideways, landing in the path of Kokushibo's retreat.
Muichiro's dynamic vision is very good, and it is synchronized with mine, so many movements that I shouldn't see are also clear.
Kokushibo's movements were very fast. He remained calm even when being attacked from both sides. The way for him to retreat was blocked, so he placed one hand on the hilt of his sword.
The shape of the sword was originally made by blood demon art, and even though a part of it was stuck in Muichiro's body, it still did not hinder his current attack.
Breathing of the Moon·Type 3·Hateful Moon·Erosion!
A crescent-shaped blade appeared on the blood-red blade that seemed to have eyes engraved on it. With him as the core, two crescent-shaped blade winds were released on the left and right sides, and many crescent-shaped blades of different sizes were formed around him with sword energy.
It can be used for both single and group attacks.
Very fast——
Mr. Tianyuan grabbed the iron chain at the end of the double swords and swung them. The rotating blades were like a barrier, defusing Kokushibo's attack. He continued to move, and the tip of his other finger was holding three black round beads.
Bomb!
The specially made gunpowder ball exploded the moment it hit the ground, and the blast went straight towards Kokushibo's face.
This kind of gunpowder ball that can directly cause damage to demons, even upper-rank demons, is the first time that Kokushibo has encountered it, and he slightly underestimated the power of this non-Hirin Sword weapon.
A gap!
Breath of Flame·Fourth Form·The Winding of the Mighty Flame——With Mr. Kyojuro at the center, the swirling flames formed a scene like a sky curtain, and the sword blade, which was rising in temperature, almost touched Kokushibo's body with a burning touch——
Kokushibo swung his sword back and blocked Kyojuro's attack head-on.
"Breathing of Fire... You are a descendant of the Purgatory family..." The synchronization rate between me and the other swordsmen continued to increase, which allowed me to even clearly understand Kokushibo's lip movements.
Sure enough, the owl's appearance in the Purgatory family is inherited from their ancestors.
The attack was neutralized.
Mr. Xing Shoulang was not in a hurry because his goal had been achieved.
Muichiro pulled the knife out of his chest with all his strength. The blood flowing from his hand due to the blade he was holding had stopped, but he did not have a single moment to catch his breath.
At this time, I absolutely cannot fall behind. Before the heavy bleeding begins, Muichiro uses his muscles to pinch the large blood vessels near the heart, and I quickly follow up to repair the wound. In the mist of fire created by Mr. Kyojuro, Muichiro swings his sword.
Mist Breathing·Type 3·Mist Sprays——The spinning body and the sword skills performed in an instant made his heart beat rapidly, and the "spots" like the sunset glow appeared deeper on his face.
My heart tightened——
It's useless. In front of such a transparent world, such sleight of hand has no effect!
Sure enough, the knife that stabbed out from the flames did not actually reach Kokushibo—Moon Breathing·Form 5·Moon Soul Disaster Vortex!
This was a defensive move, and it could be released without having to draw the sword - Kokushibo's sword was still tied to Mr. Kyojuro's, and he was spinning himself, generating a huge vortex of blade wind around him, leaving countless crescent blades in the path of the strike - Kokushibo himself was already a sword.
This ranged attack not only repelled Muichiro who rushed towards him, but also forced Kyojuro to retreat.
The blast from Mr. Tianyuan's gunpowder had been blown away by the sword energy, and within just a dozen seconds, the entire venue had become a mess.
The ruins of a collapsed ceiling, countless cut wood piles, various types of sword marks on the ground, and traces of burns.
"The Demon Slayer Corps' pillars... the power of humans can only reach this level."
Kokushibo's emotions didn't seem to fluctuate much. There were many eyes on the exposed blade, which made people feel cold sweat just by looking at it.
Even if you look closely, you can see that the eyeball on the knife seems to have life and is moving irregularly.
"It's too tacky to be told by a ghost that 'it's only this much'." Tianyuan's "marks" were patches of red gathered at the corners of his eyes. He liked them so much that he even saved the time to put on eye makeup. His clothes were already torn, traces of the wounds left by the dense moon blades in the Breath of the Moon just now.
In fact, Mr. Kyojuro also had many similar wounds on his body, but the preparations that Xuanmi and I made in advance were not in vain.
"The wound... has healed?" Kokushibo looked at their torn clothes and quickly realized, "So that's it, is it the blue spider lily..."
The transparent world allowed him to see the physical conditions of these three people clearly. The wounds in Muichiro's body had completely healed, and his physical condition had been greatly improved due to the appearance of the "marks".
"This generation... has finally opened the 'Mark'..." Kokushibo's eyes were filled with pity, "In previous generations, once the 'Mark' was opened, they would die before the age of 25."
He firmly believed that this was the law of nature. If you wanted to gain something, you had to pay a corresponding price. If you wanted to stimulate your body's potential, you had to pay a price.
Mr. Tianyuan laughed unbridled, "You unglamorous fellow, is this the limit of ghost cognition?"
Poof, he taunted back.
As expected of Mr. Tianyuan, he really won't tolerate any loss.
Without a word, the four knives on the field moved at the same time.
Kokushibo's movements were so fast that even with the pillar's dynamic vision, he couldn't catch up with him.
I could only see the attack coming in front of me. I felt a pain in my body, and several cuts appeared, but no blood flowed out. The "stripes" stimulated the patterns on the blue spider lily to achieve a higher healing speed.
Breathing of the Moon·Land Shape·Always a Lone Moon in the Night·No Space!
The crescent-shaped blades were carried in the interlaced rapid succession, announcing the continuation of the battle.
The nine pillars had all undergone cooperative training, so the three of them didn't even need to talk to each other and immediately assigned their respective positions.
Mr. Tianyuan moved first, at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by the sound of a boom formed by the compressed air when the blade moved - Sound Breathing·Five Shapes·Tune Strings Play!
The rotating blade, with explosive power, attacked Kokushibo head-on.
There was only a delay of less than a second compared to his head-on attack. Muichiro took action, and the mist gathered. The power derived from the Breathing of Wind carried properties similar to the wind - Breathing of Wind·First Form·Daiten Toukai. However, the target was not Kokushibo, but Mr. Kyojuro who was preparing his Yokogi.
The two Sun Blades struck each other, and for a moment, it was as if sparks were flickered, and the wind covered the orange-red Sun Blades - no, it was scarlet red!
Mr. Xing Shoulang exerted force with his feet.
Breathing of Fire·Variant·Yang Hu!
The flames that emerged from his breath rushed towards Kokushibo like an open tiger's mouth.
There was a concave notch on Mr. Tengen's sword. He used the notch on one side to block Kokushibo's sword and grabbed the back of the sword with his backhand. Mr. Tengen swung the other Nichirin sword connected by a chain upward with force and slashed it straight towards Kokushibo's face. At the same time, the winding chain also blocked Kokushibo's sword.
The moment the red knife was close to Kokushibo's neck, I seemed to hear a "puff" sound.
——It was the sound of a knife piercing flesh.
Oh, it's blood.
Human blood.
I coughed violently twice in my body, and my vision went dark for a moment, so I couldn't react immediately.
It was as if his breathing was blocked - Kyojuro's vision was the first to stabilize. He had clearly dodged the murderous intent when he felt the danger, and the knife had clearly been chopped down!
Through the spreading mist, one could see that Kokushibo's clothes had been burned, and the ends of his hair were slightly charred. The most eye-catching thing was his long sword that stretched out like a branch with sharp forks.
This is what Komaji mentioned, the true form of Kokushibo's sword - [Hollow Kushingo]!
There was not a moment of rest. Just as my strength recovered and the bleeding stopped, Kokushibo swung his sword - Breathing of the Moon, Seventh Form, Evil Mirror, Moon Reflection - and five giant fan-shaped shock waves extended along the ground. Along with the giant shock waves, there were also many small arc-shaped shock waves.
A large-scale road-blocking sword technique.
Closing the road is definitely not the goal! It is just the first step!
Sure enough, the next second Kokushibo's figure disappeared from the spot.
There is nothing on the left or right, it is in the sky!
Breathing of the Moon·Ten Lands Type·Moon Rainbow·Solitary Moon——Using the Ghost Blade to swing down several giant blade winds from the sky, they have the power to almost shatter the earth.
Mr. Tianyuan is at the center of the battle. Facing such a large-scale attack, he knows that he absolutely cannot dodge. Sound Breathing·Free Style·Uninterrupted Sound and Cutting!
This was the fastest ability among all his sword skills. The speed of swinging the swords almost exceeded the limit of the human body. The chain of the two swords had been cut by the sword skills that Kokushimu had just used to escape. However, his ninja education that did not distinguish between left-handed and right-handed people allowed him to use his height and long arms to expand his defense area.
Although he was injured by the scattered crescent blades and even had his headband with the gem cut off, he still took all of Kokushibo's attacks.
Muichiro and Mr. Rengoku will not waste the opportunity that Mr. Tianyuan has fought for!
Haze and Flame combined skills, double form, Mist-Hidden Dragon!
Fire borrows the power of wind. This was originally a similar move that Mr. Kyojuro and Mr. Jiya had trained together. However, through Muichiro's mist, the effect of one plus one being greater than two can be achieved!
Muichiro's wide-range attack provided a perfect environment for Mr. Kyojuro's chopping strike. The afterimage disappeared from the ground, as unpredictable as a dragon, yet steadfast.
Kokushibo also responded quickly——Form 14·Ferocious Transformation·Amanma Sōgetsu!
The evolved Demon Blade releases countless huge crescent-shaped blade winds, carrying the power to sweep away everything in front of it.
Faced with this direct attack, Mr. Kyojuro did not retreat at all.
"Don't even think about it!" Mr. Tianyuan's voice sent a vibration effect through the air.
——Breathing of Sound·Land Form·Echoing the Sky!
Two blades flew out of his hands, one in front and one behind. The blade behind him was obviously faster, nailing to the end of the handle of the blade in front. The combined power of the two blades seemed to be able to reach the sky, and it actually deflected the direction of Kokushibo's Shishi no Kata, allowing the most concentrated attack to pass through Mr. Kyojuro's haori.
The full moon blade that accompanied the scimitar moon blade inevitably scratched Mr. Kyojuro's forehead, but this little injury was nothing.
The burning blade that could be seen by the eyes chopped down towards Kokushibo's neck.
At the critical moment, Kokushibo had no time to change his sword skills. The huge strength of his waist and abdomen allowed him to tilt his body even though he had no place to exert force in the air. The knife cut off half of his shoulder and he also suffered the piercing damage from Muichiro.
Oh no, this angle ruins Mr. Kyoujuro's appearance!
Breathing of the Moon·Type 8·Moon Dragon Tail!
With one hand, he wields the Evolved Demon Blade, which can almost sweep across everything in front of him. The slashing speed is extremely fast, as if he is going to attack Mr. Kyojuro...
No, no!
Synchronizing with this multi-dimensional vision, I instantly realized that Kokushibo was going to take advantage of the cooperation between the Demon Slayer Corps members.
The moment he discovered that Mr. Kyojuro had a huge flaw, Muichiro, who was closest to him, almost instinctively wanted to step forward to block it.
"You can't go through!" Mr. Tianyuan shouted from below.
But it was too late.
The extended moon blade of the horizontal attack [Void Crying God] changed direction and directly cut Muichiro's body in half at the waist.
Cut off the waist.
