Tsuchikuni Iwakatsu's speech shocked not only Izawa Sugi, but also Muzan Kibutsuji.
Muzan Kibutsuji Mushiro had an incredible expression, as if he had heard a ridiculous joke.
What does it mean that if he kills Jiguo Yuanyi, Jiguo Yansheng will be his?
In other words, in the eyes of Muzan Kibutsuji, Iwakatsu Tsuchiya has already been his!
Although he was not that hungry at the moment, why did he refuse the Black Forest cake that was delivered to his door?
"Who do you think you are? How dare you negotiate with me?"
Muzan Kibutsuji's voice was cold and sharp. "I wanted to try the effect of the breathing swordsman turning into a demon. Since you are looking for death, I can eat you and then turn your brother Ji Guoyuan into a demon!"
Jiguo Yansheng did not give in at all. Even though Muzan Muzan emanated a terrifying aura, he did not feel the slightest bit of fear.
"Coward." On the contrary, he actually laughed at Muzan Kibutsuji Mumu, "Indeed, if you eat me, I won't know even if you are killed by Yuanyi."
Jiguo Yansheng had such a firm belief in his brother's strength that he had deified him without him even knowing it.
Now that he learned from Izawa Sugi that the Demon King was also hiding from Jigoku Yoshiichi, Jigoku Iwakatsu confirmed this once again.
"Now that I think about it..." Jiguo Yansheng's face flashed with reluctance and regret, "I really don't want to die."
Muzan Kibutsuji: ???
He was so angry.
The reason why Jigoku Iwakatsu didn't want to die was that he couldn't see Muzan Muzurugi being hacked to death by Jigoku Enishi?
Ridiculous! Abominable!
Regardless of whether it was a trick of Jiguo Yansheng to delay time and prolong his life, Muzan Muzan was furious. He was questioned by the insects that he looked down upon, and he had to prove his strength to a pig?
The next second, Muzan Kibutsuji Muren suddenly raised his hand and swung out a whip with a very wide attack range. Jigoku Iwaki avoided the attack by brushing against the whip at the critical moment.
The long and powerful whip almost broke the roof of the building, and the eaves made crackling sounds.
Dust flew up, and Ize Sugi suddenly appeared beside Jiguo Yansheng. Before he could react, he grabbed Jiguo Yansheng and used Flying Thunder God to leave the area.
Jiguo Yansheng's expression changed slightly. After landing, he quickly looked around. He gave Izawa Shan a meaningful look and said softly, "...I thought you would go after the Ghost King."
Izawa Sugi glanced at Kuniwakatsu with a subtle expression: "Don't you want to see your brother chop down the demon king? I want to see it too."
In Izawa Sugi's mind, Muzan Muzan was already on the death list, and if Ji Kunigen learned what his brother had just said, Muzan Muzan Muzan would not survive the next day's sunrise.
After all, judging from Tanjiro Kamado's memory, Jikokuen and his brother felt deep regret and remorse for turning into a ghost. Perhaps the communication between the brothers was not smooth, but it did not hinder the deep and even somewhat twisted brotherly love between the twins.
"He is the son of God who is known as the strongest! When the Sun Breathing was passed down to our generation, it was more like a Kagura to worship the God of Fire than a sword technique. If I had the chance to see the original and most primitive sword technique of the Sun Breathing..."
Izawa Sugi did not hide his desire for more exquisite sword moves. Besides, that was Yoshikazu Tsuchikoku! He performed the Breathing of the Sun himself! A real person! And he was beating up Muzan Muzan!
“…I’m looking forward to it!”
Jiguo Yansheng looked at the undisguised desire and excitement on Saber's face, and a feeling of unwillingness and jealousy suddenly rose in his heart.
Are people from the future also worshipping Yuanyi?
What about him?
Jiguo Yansheng clenched the long sword in his hand and said coldly: "...Since you killed the Ghost King in your generation, are you sure you can protect me from him?"
Izawa Shan was stunned: "Of course." After a pause, he added, "If you are willing to trust me and let me overlap with you temporarily, I can use your body to kill him."
Tsugumi Iwakatsu has already opened the Mark. If Izawa Sugi uses Servant Mimicry, he can instantly transform the blade into the Red Blade. Using the Red Blade to kill Muzan Murei can effectively prevent him from regenerating, and he can be killed.
Even if Jigoku Iwakatsu doesn't let Izawa Sugi use Servant Mimicry, it doesn't matter. He can stick the Flying Thunder God Mark on Muzan Muzan's robe, and when the sun comes out during the day, he can summon Flying Thunder God Zan to send the Demon King directly to his death.
"Don't get involved yet."
Ji Guoyansheng took a deep breath, and his whole demeanor became as proud and lonely as the silver moon in the sky.
As he answered, the figure of Muzan Kibutsuji Muzan appeared before him.
Jiguo Yansheng exerted force with his feet, his chest suddenly expanded, countless oxygen flowed into his body with his breathing, his body soared into the air, and the long sword drew a crescent arc and slashed towards Muzan Muzan.
"If I can kill Muzan Kibutsuji Muyou, I can prove that I am stronger than Enichi!"
Since Saber can guarantee his life and death, why not give it a try?
Izesugi: "...Uh."
Ize Shan was in mixed feelings. For the first time, he hoped that his ability to see through things would fail.
If he was not mistaken, the flame of jealousy seemed to rise again in Jiguo Yansheng's heart. As the twin brother of Jiguo Yuanyi, with the support of his god-like younger brother, Jiguo Yansheng seemed like an ugly and pitiful creature.
Ji Guoyuan shines like the scorching sun in all directions. As a pursuer, Ji Guoyansheng is under tremendous pressure both physically and mentally. The fire of jealousy and unwillingness burns everything in him, but what else can he do except chasing?
He...he is my brother.
Izawa Sugi felt a little sick to his stomach as he captured such subtle and twisted emotional changes.
Well, with Izawa Sugi's experience and strong comprehension, he can understand why Jikuni Iwakatsu would have such a complicated mind, but of course he does not agree with this idea.
As the heir to the city, Jiguo Yansheng was influenced by the theory of nobility and inferiority since childhood. Due to his status as heir and city lord, he could not accept that his younger brother, who was of a lower status, was better than himself.
This was like turning 1+12 upside down. Jigoku Iwakatsu could not accept the fact that he, as an older brother, was weaker than his younger brother.
What's even more ridiculous is that many years later he died as a ghost at the hands of his own descendant's sword.
In fact, the reason why he was able to meet this future swordsman was only because his descendants and this swordsman were as close as brothers.
To Jigoku Iwakatsu, the fact that he was not even as good as his own descendant was a different kind of humiliation.
At the same time, even though his brother died, the Breathing of the Sun he left behind was passed on to the future, and even swordsmen from the future still admired and longed to see Tsugumi Kuniichi's battles.
Such a sharp contrast made Jiguo Yansheng break down his defense again without realizing it, so he drew his sword and rushed towards Muzan Muzan.
Izawa Sugi felt a rare headache when he saw Tsuchikuni Iwakatsu who kept using Moon Breathing and fighting with Muzan Muzan.
"How sour." Apparently, Merlin had been connected to Izawa Sugi and had tasted the rich emotional changes in his mind. "Even you would find this situation difficult, right?"
Four long whips emerged from Muzan Muzan's body, each with a spike and barb. Under the powerful and swift attack of the long whips, it was difficult for Jigoku Iwaki to get close to Muzan Muzan, and he soon suffered battle damage and wounds.
Ize Shan held the hilt of the sword and stared at the battle situation, ready to rescue anyone at any time.
He answered Merlin: "It's a bit tricky. Even if I use some tricks to make Jiguo Yansheng give up the pursuit, what will Jiguoyuan think later?"
Jigoku Iwakatsu's pursuit of his younger brother was very painful, and he even developed extremely negative emotions such as hatred and anger. What about Jigoku Yuichi?
Jiguo Yuanyi lost his loved one and his unborn child, and his parents have also passed away. The only anchor for him to mark the world and humanity is his brother Jiguo Yansheng.
As long as Jiguo Yansheng is still working hard to improve his strength and catch up with Jiguo Yuanyi, Jiguo Yuanyi will be able to see his brother by his side when he looks back... Well, put yourself in his shoes, maybe he is very happy that his brother is chasing him~
"They are twin brothers, they are each other's half, and they admire each other's other half."
Izawa Sugi sighed, "It's meaningless to change one person's mind alone."
Merlin asked curiously, "So what do you want to do?"
Izawa Sugi's expression suddenly changed slightly: "Wait a moment, Muzan Kibutsuji Muzan is about to kill."
The next second, Izawa Sugi's figure disappeared and appeared beside Jiguo Iwakatsu like a shadow.
The long sword in his hand was like a quiet and gentle stream, and was about to gently push away Ji Guo Yan Sheng and take the attack towards his heart for him, when Ji Guo Yan Sheng suddenly roared.
The strong breathing squeezed the vitality of the body, and the muscles contracted and released powerful force. Tsukuni Iwakatsu's speed became faster. His body was incredibly soft. When avoiding the twisting whip, his shoulders opened and his arms stretched, like the moon hanging in the sky, slicing open Tsuji Mumei's shoulders at an extremely fast speed!
He finally attacked the Ghost King!
Muzan Muzan's expression changed, first disbelief, then extreme disgust.
Even though this sword only left a shallow bloody mark, and Muzan Muzan's body automatically regenerated and healed the wounds the next second, it could not suppress the rage that arose in Muzan Muzan, like a volcano about to erupt and devour all life.
He was actually hurt by an ant?
Along with this realization, Muzan's short hair began to grow longer, and at the same time, long and swift whips with flesh thorns appeared on his shoulders, arms and thighs.
Boom——
A huge explosion sounded, and countless attacks combined together to try to smash Jiguo Yansheng into a pulp.
But after the dust and debris slowly cleared, there was nothing there.
Jikoku Iwakatsu disappeared.
Muzan Kibutsuji Mumu's body trembled slightly.
“Damn it… Damn it! Damn it!! Demon Slayer Corps! Breathing Swordsman!! I will kill you all!!”
Izawa Sugi used Flying Thunder God to pick up Jiguoyan Sheng, and after four or five mark changes, he successfully got away from Muzan Muzan.
Jiguo Yansheng's breathing became weak.
His body was covered with wounds caused by Muzan Kibutsuji's stab wounds. Muzan Kibutsuji's whip was poisonous, and the toxin was injected into Jigoku Iwakatsu's body. According to Izawa Sugi's judgment, Jigoku Iwakatsu could only hold on for another ten minutes at most.
Izawa Shan looked at Jiguo Yansheng who was vomiting blood and breathing heavily, and frowned slightly: "You are dying. The ghost king is not dead, and your brother is not here either. Even if you use your life to prove that you are stronger than your brother, is it worth it?"
Jiguo Yansheng coughed and said unsteadily: "You, you said that I would not die!"
Izawa Sugi remained silent. He deliberately said in a cold tone, "You can't live past 25. Once you become a Mimic Servant, the moment your ideal is achieved, I will leave and you will die."
Jigoku Iwakatsu seemed not to have heard Izawa Sugi's answer. Hallucinations began to appear before his eyes and he fell into a trance.
"I won't die. I haven't reached my strongest point yet. I haven't caught up with Yuanyi yet. I..."
Tsuchikuni Iwakatsu grabbed Izawa Sugi's wrist and hallucinations kept appearing. He mistook Izawa Sugi for his younger brother, Tsuchikuni Yuichi: "Yuichi... I gave up everything and lost everything. If that's the case... I, I must catch up with you... and become you..."
After hearing this, Izawa Sugi sighed.
"It is true."
Merlin was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"I said, they are twin brothers, they chase each other's other half, they are a whole divided into two halves."
Izawa Sugi put his hand on Tsugukuni Iwakatsu's heart, and Tsugukuni Iwakatsu indeed let go of his body. Izawa Sugi successfully controlled Tsugukuni Iwakatsu's body to transform into a Servant's mimicry.
The next second, Izawa Sugi immediately changed his breathing and forcibly changed the blood flow rate in this body. He quickly discharged the toxic blood from the body. At the same time, he took out some medicine from his sleeve and swallowed it quickly, and quickly gave first aid to Jiguo Yansheng.
It was not until dawn that Izawa Sugi managed to suppress the toxins from the continuous consumption of dirty food, but Jigoku Iwakatsu had already passed out.
Izawa Sugi leaned against a big tree to rest. He called the crow and asked it to tell Ji Kuniichi to surround Muzan Muzan, and then he slowly left the place, holding on to the big tree.
Crow quickly found Yuichiro Tsuchiya with the message from Izawa Sugi.
Ji Guoyuanyi is a handsome man. His long hair is tied into a ponytail like his brother's. However, compared to his brother's frizzy black hair, Ji Guoyuanyi's hair is smoother, making him look much gentler and calmer.
When Crow found Ji Guoyuan, he was resting in a teahouse.
At the moment when Jiguo Yansheng was seriously injured and about to die, Jiguo Yuanyi suddenly felt a palpitation for no reason. Although he didn't understand why, he still made the decision to "hurry back to the base."
As soon as Ji Guoyuan put down his teacup and was about to stand up, he saw his brother's crow rushing towards him in panic.
Ji Guoyuan's heart began to pound.
"The Ghost King appears! The Ghost King appears! The master is poisoned and about to die! Kill the Ghost King to detoxify! Kill the Ghost King to detoxify!"
Ji Guoyuan 1:!
Without hesitation, he grasped the Sun Blade at his waist and said in a calm voice that was almost cold: "Lead the way."
Under the guidance of Crow, Yuichiro Tsuchikoku found Izawa Sugi who was taking a rest in the wilderness.
Izawa Sugi did not dare to return to the Demon Slayer Corps' base, let alone approach a populated village, for he was worried about attracting Muzan Muzan.
After making sure that this Tsugumi Iwakatsu would no longer become Upper Rank One, Kokushibo - seeing that Muzan Muzan wished to kill Tsugumi Iwakatsu alive - Izawa Sugi simply tried to use Tsugumi Iwakatsu's body to absorb natural energy.
If he could enter the realm of immortal arts before he turned 25, Tsugumi Iwakatsu would be able to continue living even if Izawa Sugi left.
Izawa Sugi was dozing off against a big rock. Suddenly he realized something and immediately shrank back into Tsugukuni Iwakatsu's body. Except for breathing, Izawa Sugi released his control over Tsugukuni Iwakatsu's body.
When Jiguo Yuanyi saw Jiguo Yansheng, who was motionless and almost out of breath, in the distance, a look of panic appeared on his usually calm and steady face.
He leaped several meters in just one step, rushed directly to his brother, and held Ji Guoyansheng's hand tightly.
The sunlight shone on Jiguo Yansheng, and his face, which had lost too much blood due to poisoning, turned almost transparent, as if it would disappear in the next second.
Jiguo Yansheng's fingers were extremely cold, but fortunately his heart was still beating in his chest and his breathing was maintained normally. Although his heartbeat was very slow and weak, it continued like it was hibernating.
Ji Guoyuan realized belatedly that he had forgotten to breathe.
He took a deep breath, then suddenly raised his head and looked towards the woods not far away.
There, the ghost king who hurt his brother and nearly killed him is there.
That thing coveted his brother's flesh and blood and life, and he actually waited in the woods, waiting for the sunset! !
Unforgivable! Unpardonable! Heinous crime!
Ji Guoyuan drew out the Sun Blade and stepped into the forest with murderous intent.
As soon as Jiguo Yuan entered the forest, Ize Shan suddenly shook Jiguo Yansheng's consciousness: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Your brother is going to take action! Come and see your brother chop down the demon king!"
