Tokito Ichiro's crow flew faster than its companions. It flapped its wings with a clear goal in mind and flew towards the area in charge of the Wind Pillar Fuzugawa Mitsuya. It circled around in the air before finding someone under a tree, and then quickly landed.
Fuzuigawa Miyabi, who was resting on the spot and bandaging his arm simply, heard the sound of wings flapping in the wind. He raised his head and saw a strange crow swooping down towards him with great momentum.
Fuzugawa Miyabi:?
The crow landed on his arm, which had no new wounds, and shouted in a heartbreaking voice: "Kasumi-sharu Tokito-Muichiro and Tokito-Ichiro are in trouble with the upper rank, please help!"
Fuzugawa Michiya was stunned by the news for a moment, but then he reacted and picked up the knife from the ground and ran in the direction indicated by Chain Crow.
Fortunately, Ichiro's crow didn't lose its chain at the critical moment, and pointed in the right direction all the way. Tokito Muichiro's crow turned around and looked for Iguro Obanai halfway.
"Which of the Upper Rank ones did they encounter?" Fuzugawa Miyabi was running at a very fast speed, even using the kata. He maintained a steady breathing method and did not forget to ask Kogure for specific information.
The crow flew two meters ahead of him, so that he would not lose it and could find out whether the route was correct in time. Hearing Fuzugawa's question, he quacked twice: "The first and second upper ranks are here."
Fuzugawa Miyabi was surprised when he heard this: "What kind of mission did they accept? How could they encounter two upper rank at the same time?"
On the other side, Iguro Obanai asked the same question.
A single Upper Rank is difficult enough to deal with. Whether it's the Upper Rank Three that Rengoku Kyojuro met on the Infinite Train, or the Upper Rank Six that Uzui Tengen found in the Flower Street, their strength is not comparable to that of the Lower Ranks.
The three upper moons had defeated Rengoku Kyojuro, and now these two were facing the two most difficult ones among the twelve demon moons...
Iguro Obana pursed her lips and said nothing. Although she and Fuzugawa Miyabi started from different places, their final destination was the same.
"Blood Demon Art: Lotus Blossom."
Douma waved his hand casually, and several vines with ice lotus flowers entangled with the two of them. He didn't concentrate on dealing with them. When he saw the vines being cut by the Nichirin Sword, he just sighed lightly.
Kokushibo, who originally wanted to deal with the Tokito twins alone, retracted his sword and was unhappy that Douma took action without permission.
"Sorry, sorry." There was not much sincerity in his words. "I just think we should make a quick decision. After all, Lord Wupo might be waiting anxiously."
Kokushibo was silent for a while, and after thinking about it, he felt that Douma was right. It was an accident that they met the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. Muzan Muzan had originally only asked them to wait for orders in this town.
So he nodded: "Then as soon as possible, it would be best if I can become a ghost."
Douma narrowed his eyes, spread out the fan and shook it gently, and lotus-shaped ice crystals instantly formed and flew out: "No problem."
After listening to this conversation, both of them fell silent.
Originally, just the one Upper Rank was enough to make the two of them feel difficult to deal with. Their moves might seem far inferior to their opponents. Now with the addition of a Two Upper Rank, it is questionable whether they can hold out until dawn.
Tokito Ichiro exhaled, and the ice lotus sprayed by Douma made people feel cold before they even touched it, and their instinct warned them not to touch it. He immediately retreated, and Tokito Muichiro ran in the opposite direction. The two of them attacked tacitly, and each of them entangled with one person.
"You are no match for me." Kokushibo said. He had fought against swordsmen who used the Breathing of the Clouds before. After becoming the Demon Queen, he had countless sword skills trained by the Time Hammer. No one he met was his match.
Tokito Muichiro is undoubtedly a genius. He became a pillar after holding a sword for only two months, and created the seventh form of Kasumi no Breathing. But for Kokushibo, it was still not enough.
Without the heart to answer him, Tokito Muichiro held the sword tightly and performed eight consecutive cuts in the second form. He used this move to break the blood demon art in the battle with Tamao. Although he didn't know whether it would be effective against Kokushibo, he still faced it fearlessly. The recoil caused by the collision of the blades made his wrist numb.
"Not fast enough." Kokushibo commented. He didn't even use his form, relying solely on his strength to block the speed that was unavoidable for this pair of low-level demons.
When Toru accidentally distracted Muichiro and Ichiro realized something was wrong, Douma used the fan as a medium to scatter a large number of the same ice lotus flowers. He was unable to dodge and the petals rubbed his cheek, leaving a shallow blood mark and melted into water.
He tried his best to lead Douma away to prevent this upper rank who did not play by the rules from thinking that a one-on-one fight was boring and attacking Tokito Muichiro who was concentrating on dealing with Kokushibo.
Douma didn't pay any attention to Tokichiro's silence. He stared at the wound with interest.
Tokito Muichiro naturally had no idea how many blood demon arts Douma had, not to mention that Douma's blood demon arts were all extremely poisonous. Just a little bit of it inhaled would be enough to invade the body in a short time.
He sighed with regret: "I hope you can live longer."
After saying this, Douma blinked again, revealing a childish and innocent look: "Before, a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps died because of my freezing of her alveoli. Unfortunately, it was almost dawn at that time, and I was unable to save her..."
"So - can you hold out until dawn?"
"How far is it?" Busui Kagawa's expression became increasingly irritable. Using breathing alone to catch up was still too slow in this emergency situation. Continuous use would cause him to consume a lot of energy before reaching the battle.
Before Jiao Ya could answer him, they had been walking non-stop for half an hour and were already close to the outskirts of the town.
It seemed unable to maintain its speed, but after catching sight of Tokito Ichiro's figure from a distance, it paused for a second to allow Busui Gawa Saneya to follow closely, and then flew over the fighting people and kept circling.
From its movements, Muzukawa realized that it was approaching, and immediately put on a villain-like smile. He quickened his pace, and with the help of his breathing technique, he rushed towards Douma's back, the only one he could clearly see under the moonlight.
"Wind Breathing·Second Form·Claw Claw Koto Wind!"
"Snake Breathing, Form One, Snake Crooked and Cut!"
A few seconds later, Iguro Obanai followed behind Fuzugawa Jiya, and her target was also Douma. Her white oak hair was too conspicuous at the moment, making it impossible to ignore it.
Musashi Fushigi rushed forward first, and four wind blades flew close to the ground and approached Douma's back at a high speed, followed by a curved slash from Iguro Obanai.
Douma:!
Just as he was about to approach, Toru Ichirō paused, and quickly used the Blood Demon Art: Lotus Blossom, rising from the ground to block the double blows, then easily dodged to the side and turned to face the two newcomers.
"His blood demon arts are all poisonous, please be careful!" Tokito Ichiro gained useful information from Douma's words, and his own body's reaction made him even more certain.
He dodged a piece of ice crystal that Douma swung towards him at the last moment, and white mist came out of his breath. It was clearly not winter, but he felt like he was shivering from the cold.
Upon hearing this, Fuzugawa changed his attack immediately. The sword that was originally about to rush in and cut through the ice vines that protected Douma changed instantly: "Wind Breathing: Fourth Form Rising to the Sand and Dust Storm."
The wind blades from bottom to top cut through the vines at a long distance and attacked Douma with unabated force, but were dispersed by the latter's fan and disappeared in the air.
Seeing this, Busei became even more excited and immediately made another move. Although it was not as fast as the Thunder Breathing, it was still considered fast among all the breathing methods.
Tokito Ichiro took this opportunity to attack him from both sides together with Fushigiwa Miyabi. He felt his fingers getting stiff and he had trouble holding the knife. However, he could not look for medicine for treatment at the moment. The best way was to hold on until the sun came out.
Tanjiro Kamado suddenly woke up from his sleep. He was still lying on the bed in the Chouya, next to him were Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. Both of them were sleeping soundly, and he was the only one who was awakened by the nightmare.
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated uncontrollably, beads of sweat appeared on Tanjiro Kamado's forehead, and his back was covered with large dark marks.
The scene in the dream was still vivid in his mind, and for a moment he thought he was still in that dream from which he could not escape.
No matter how much he wanted to reach out his hand or draw his sword to protect those people who were already bleeding profusely and finding it increasingly difficult to breathe.
In his dream, he was helpless and could only watch them fall one by one, but he couldn't even draw out the Sun Blade.
Tanjiro Kamado clutched his clothes tightly around his chest, and his heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
"This dream... is so strange."
"Tanjiro? What happened?"
Agatsuma Zenitsu rubbed his eyes, yawned lazily and got up from the bed. Tanjiro came back to his senses after hearing the voice and smiled apologetically.
"It's just a nightmare, Zenitsu, go back to sleep."
Agatsuma Zenitsu was awakened by the sudden and intense heartbeat of Tanjiro. He could hear the panic in it, and he forced himself to be alert: "What kind of nightmare is this?"
On the other side, Inosuke also suddenly woke up. He didn't wear the wild boar mask when he went to sleep. He sat on the bed with energy and looked over, showing his intention of "I want to listen too".
Kamado Tanjiro: “…………”
As the most reliable of the three, Tanjiro Kamado sighed and used simple language to describe the scene that was slowly fading from his mind.
Agatsuma Zenitsu's expression gradually changed from sleepiness to fear: "Tanjiro, why did you suddenly have such a dream? Were you scared by the joint strengthening training in a while?"
Tanjiro Kamado: "...This is a good thing. You won't be scared, Zenitsu."
"But it's really strange that you suddenly had this kind of dream..." Agatsuma Zenitsu yawned, "Is it because you are too worried?"
"But we don't need to worry about the strength of the pillar."
"That's true, but the ghost in the dream...I care about it anyway."
Shinobu Kocho's voice came from behind the door: "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Do you want to have a training session in advance?"
"I'm so sorry!" x3
Finally, Shinobu Kocho pushed the door open despite the constant movement. Tanjiro Kamado was restless and choked up before he could finish his words. Zenitsu Agatsuma was right, the dream was too vague at this time.
Shinobu Kocho brought a stool and sat beside the bed, listening quietly to Tanjiro repeating what he had said to Zenitsu and the others.
After a familiar description appeared, she interrupted Tanjiro Kamado and the smile that usually appeared on her face disappeared.
"Ms. Shinobu...?"
Shinobu Kocho smiled at Tanjiro's call: "Sorry, I was distracted just now. Could you please describe the ghost's appearance again?"
The author has something to say: I will try my best to update daily, but the specific time is uncertain...
