In the extremely depressing atmosphere, Urokodaki finally spoke:

"Boy, you dare to provoke me, do you really think I will be fooled?"

Tanjiro next to him reacted, so the senior has been provoking him all along?

Horitake was not embarrassed at all:

"It is indeed a provocation. If I don't provoke you, Master Urokodaki, you won't give in."

"Humph! Boy, if it was Kuwajima Jigoro who provoked me just now, maybe I would give him some face and not take it to heart, but you, a junior, dare to be so disrespectful to me, a senior among seniors!"

As he said this, Urokotaki drew out the Sun Blade from his waist:

"I want to test your strength, and by the way, teach you a lesson on behalf of that guy Kuwashima!"Tanjiro panicked even more. What's going on? Are they going to fight?

Horitake had a blank expression on his face and stretched out his hand to Tanjiro:

"Give me back the knife"

""Huh?" Tanjiro panicked. Are they really going to fight?

He wanted to persuade Horitake, but looking at Horitake's expression at that moment, Tanjiro really didn't have the courage to persuade him. He could only return the Nichirin Sword to Horitake.

Horitake drew his sword and faced Urokodaki:

"Master Urokotaki, there is no need to beat around the bush. If you want to beat me up, just say so. Although I have limited strength, I will not sit still and wait for death. You can't teach me a lesson that easily.

How about this, let's decide the outcome with one move?"

"Oh?" Urokodaki was a little interested.

"I bet with you, just one move!

After the one move, if I fall directly, I will not mention the matter of taking them as my disciples anymore, and I will immediately take them back to Momoyama!

If I perform well, please consider taking Tanjiro as your disciple again!

If I am lucky enough to beat you in one move or two, please take Tanjiro as your disciple, and ask you to help take care of Nezuko."

Horitake's real provocation was used at this time.

And Urokodaki was really provoked by this provocation! It's better to say that he had to fall for it!

He is the former water pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. Facing a student who is not yet a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, can he retreat? Can he be cowardly?

Of course not!

So even though he realized that this was another provocation, Urokodaki jumped in without hesitation. He agreed with high momentum:

""Okay! Just as you said, one move will decide the outcome!"

In the courtyard of the Buddhist temple, Horitake and Urokodaki drew their swords and faced each other.

Tanjiro on the side was already scared like a rabbit. It was over. They really started fighting. How could things turn out like this?

The two of them stared at each other closely, not missing any of the other's moves.

In order to show respect and to take the initiative, Horitake made the first move and attacked swiftly:

""Thunder Breathing·Type 1·Thunderbolt 108 Flashes!" A brilliant purple arc of electricity wrapped around Horitake, and in an instant, Horitake's aura reached its peak! He attacked Urokodaki brazenly!

Urokodaki, who was covered by the Tengu mask, suddenly changed his expression!

This aura... Not good! This kid is no weaker than the pillars! I underestimated him!

"Water Breathing·Land Form·Twisting Whirlpool!"

Urokodaki swung the Sun Blade, twisting it violently around to create a powerful whirlpool. The whirlpool sword turned into a sharp and huge blade, cutting everything around it. This was a move that combined attack and defense.

However, Horitake's Thunderbolt 108 Flashes was even more swift and fierce. He attacked without defense and fought hard!

In an instant, the slash flashing with purple lightning was slashed out by Horitake 108 times in an instant!

Although the power of each sword was not very great, when the 108 swords came towards him, the power was quite terrifying! This was Urokodaki's surprised thought at this time.

The huge twisting whirlpool collided with the lightning that was striving forward!

Tanjiro on the side watched this rare The scene was astonishing.

Is this... really a power that a human can create? So scary... So powerful...

The two ultimate moves collided! The vortex was dissipated, and the lightning disappeared.

However, there was still a purple lightning that broke through the twisting vortex.

Horitake and Urokodaki faced each other and stopped at the same time.

The atmosphere was very quiet, as if waiting for something.

Crack! The Tengu mask on Urokodaki's face split into two smooth halves from top to bottom! This is the effect caused by the purple lightning!

The Tengu mask fell off, and Urokodaki's true face was revealed in front of Horitake.

Well, he is a handsome old man, there is nothing to say about that.

As a sign of respect, Horitake was the first to put away his sword:

""Master Urokodaki, I'm sorry."

Urokodaki also put away his Nichirin Sword, and his expression seemed to be a little sad.

Tanjiro was stunned, it seemed that Horitake-senpai had won just now!

"I didn't expect that you are so strong at such a young age, and you have practiced the Lightning Breathing so well."

"To be honest with you, Master Urokodaki, I have been practicing Thunder Breathing for a while. Although I have only learned the first form, I have created many moves based on the first form. The Thunderbolt 108 Flashes just now is one of them."

Urokodaki paused.

Is this kid playing Versailles?

Forget it, I have lost enough people today.

""Okay, I was careless this time and underestimated the enemy."

This means he's given in! He's agreed!

Horitake was delighted, and he pulled Tanjiro, who was standing aside and didn't know what was going on, and pressed his head down to bow to Urokodaki:

""Silly boy, what are you still standing there for! ? Master Urokodaki has accepted you! Why don't you become his disciple! ?"

Tanjiro was overjoyed and was about to kowtow to Urokodaki!

Urokodaki stopped him in time:

"Wait a minute! Tanjiro, let me ask you, if your sister eats people one day, what will you do! ?"

Tanjiro was startled:

"No! Nezuko won't eat people!"

"Idiot! How can you promise!? How can you promise!? What if this really happens!?"

Tanjiro looked at Nezuko who was hiding from the sun in the temple with embarrassment, his face was painful, and his heart was in a struggle.

Like the original, Urokodaki slapped Tanjiro and loudly woke him up:

"Idiot! You should answer at this time: If Nezuko eats a human one day, I will kill my sister first and then commit suicide!"

Tanjiro woke up, and although in pain, he shouted firmly:

"Yes! If Nezuko eats someone one day, I will kill Nezuko first and then commit suicide!"

Urokuraki nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Horitake next to him sighed and encouraged Tanjiro:

"Tanjiro, you have experienced too much and have also shouldered too much. If you don’t have this awareness, how can you move forward in the future?

Although this awareness is painful, it is necessary!"

Tanjiro remained silent, clenching his fists tightly.

Urokodaki said to Tanjiro:

"If you want to become my disciple, you must first accept my test. Come with me! Catch up with me!"

After saying that, Urokodaki stepped onto the road and ran away quickly.

Tanjiro's first reaction was not to catch up, but to pick up Nezuko from the temple first.

Who would have thought that Horitake was faster, put Nezuko into a backpack, covered it tightly with thick cloth, and was ready to carry it on his shoulders, motioning Tanjiro to catch up:

"Leave Nezuko to me, and you go and complete the test from Master Urokodaki. Why don't you go now?"

""Yes!"

Tanjiro shouted loudly, ran onto the road, looked at Urokodaki's back, and chased after him.

At this time, Tanjiro didn't think about anything else, but just thought:

Senior Horitake was willing to fight with Master Urokodaki for my apprenticeship, which is another great favor.

Senior Horitake's kindness, I feel that I can never repay it in this life.

No matter what, I must complete Master Urokodaki's test, and I can't let Nezuko and Senior Horitake down!
