Demon Slayer: Swordsmith, Ryujin Jakka scares everyone to tears

The next day, at night.

It was already dark.

Tonight it was Kyojuro's turn to stay at Shinichi's residence, so

Uzui Tengen went home.

In addition to Kyojuro,

Tetsunamori and Tetsuzuka Hotaru were still sitting in Shinichi's yard.

In order to wait for the new Zanpakutō to come out, the two of them counted the days on their fingers every day.

They calculated that the new Zanpakutō should be completed today, so they squatted in Shinichi's yard early in the morning waiting.

Who knew that it was not completed until dark.

Tetsunamori:"To be honest with you, I wasn't so anxious when waiting for my wife to give birth before." Tetsuzuka Hotaru

:"Wait a little longer, didn't you just say it's going to be soon?"

Tetsunamori:"It's because saying it's going to be soon that it makes me more tormented. On one side is the Zanpakutō, and on the other side is my wife's curse. It's hard for me to make a decision! If I don't go home, I'm done!"

At this time, Shinichi suddenly opened the door.

Tetsunamori and Tetsuzuka Hotaru surrounded him first.

"Mr. Shinichi, is your Zanpakuto almost ready?"

"We both waited anxiously.……"

Xin Yi did not reply to the two of them, but looked at Kyojuro and said:

"Kyojuro, this knife of mine will take a while to finish.

"However, I feel that someone from Muzan's side should be here soon, tonight. Please pay attention to the surroundings."

What?! Muzan will send someone?!

Tetsuka Mori and Kotsuzuka Hotaru looked at each other, sweating profusely.

…………

At the same time, at the foot of the mountain less than three miles away from Shinichi's residence, a white figure was running fast.

That figure was Shinobu Kocho.

Her figure was a little tired, but she was still unwilling to slow down.

Because... not long ago, she received information that the Demon King Muzan issued an order to capture Mr. Shinichi alive.

It is said that the person who received the order was a powerful upper rank named Akaza.

In addition, Shinobu Kocho learned that Akaza had already set off before receiving the information.

If she didn't hurry up and get to Mr.

Shinichi's residence before Akaza, then...

the consequences would be disastrous!

She could only try her best, and after taking several small paths, she barely got ahead of Akaza and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Although Shinobu Kocho's figure was light, the continuous running had consumed most of her physical strength.

She didn't dare to slow down, because Akaza was probably not far behind her.

The hallucination brought by fatigue made her even hear the grim laughter behind her.

Faster!

Faster!

If we hurry up, we will see Mr.

Xinyi!

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the road under our feet seemed to be blurry.

At this moment, a voice came from behind Shinobu Kocho.

"As a human being, your endurance is pretty good."

At this moment, Kocho Shinobu felt a chill on her back.

It seems... she was discovered.

She immediately turned around, drew out her Nichirin Sword, and looked around vigilantly.

In front of her, it was pitch black, with only two bright spots approaching her.

When the bright spots got closer and closer to her,

Kocho Shinobu realized that they were a pair of eyeballs, with three words engraved on them -

Upper Rank, Third Rank.

"Didn't they say there were two pillars? Why is there only one?"

At this time, Akaza's figure had completely appeared in front of Kocho.

His short dark red hair revealed a fierce aura.

Akaza twisted his head and neck and said to himself:"Then kill one first, count it as one."

This sense of oppression and the overwhelming ghostly aura...

Is it the legendary upper string...

Kocho Shinobu unconsciously tightened the handle of the knife.

The insect breathing is mainly based on stabbing attacks with poison.

When facing an opponent stronger than oneself, one must take the initiative!

Take the initiative!

Thinking of this, Kocho Shinobu activated the breathing method, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from Akaza's sight.

This series of actions was very sudden, very light, and silent.

Akaza looked around, and finally, when he subconsciously raised his head, he found that the tip of Kocho Shinobu's knife was less than half a meter away from his eyebrows! What a fast speed!!

""Dance of Bee Fangs! True Stab!"

This move is the fastest one in Insect Breathing!

Under normal conditions, the speed of this move can exceed the reaction speed of the upper-rank demons.

Unfortunately, this time,

Kocho Shinobu had consumed a lot of physical strength in the long journey, and her movements were half a beat slower than usual.

Under Akaza's dodge,

Kocho Shinobu's blade only scratched the opponent's arm, but did not penetrate.

Without penetrating, the poison could not be injected, and this attack completely failed.

"Very fast speed, very good……"

Akaza's scratched arm instantly recovered.

"I don't like weak opponents.…

"You are worth my effort.

"The technique begins!

""Destroy and kill! Compass needle!"

The ground under Akaza's feet lit up instantly, and dazzling blue rays of light connected to each other... forming a twelve-cornered snowflake formation!

Akaza stood in the center of the snowflake formation!

At this moment,

Kocho Shinobu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and the biting cold enveloped her whole body.

Facing this suffocating ghost energy,

Kocho Shinobu took action again.

It seems...

I can only use that combo.

Even if I only stab once, I can turn the tide of the battle!

"Dance of the Dragonflies! Hexagonal Compound Eyes!"

Shinobu Kocho's body was divided into six shadows, stabbing at Akaza from different angles.

Six angles, six blade tips, even an upper-rank demon would find it difficult to resist!

Just one stab... is enough!

However, what Shinobu Kocho never expected was that when she entered Akaza's snowflake formation, it was like entering a powerful magnetic field, and was monitored by Akaza in all directions.

Every move she made, in front of Akaza, was like - slow motion!

Shinobu Kocho didn't know that within the range of this snowflake formation,

Akaza... was invincible!

"Destroy and kill!

""Air Style!"

Akaza's fists spurted out blue ghost energy, aiming at the six shadows of Kocho Shinobu, and instantly punched out six times!

Six shock waves composed of fist wind flew towards Kocho Shinobu!

Bang!

Kocho Shinobu only felt a cramp in her abdomen!

Bang!

Another dizziness!

Bang, bang, bang!

Kocho Shinobu's blood gushed out of her mouth!

There is one last punch... and the heaviest punch!

It is about to fall on Kocho Shinobu's temple!

Could it be... this time, I'm going to... die here?

I'm so unwilling...

I haven't avenged my sister yet...

I haven't seen what Xinyi looks like...

There are still many, many things I haven't done...

That kind of sense of security, I will never experience it again...

Just when the last punch was about to fall on Kocho Shinobu's head, a purple-red light passed in front of her!

That light fiercely cut through the fist wind!! Liberated

Kocho Shinobu from the suffocating oppression! Kocho Shinobu looked up and saw Kyojuro, who was like the sun, holding the flowing blade Jakka in his hand, blocking in front of him.

"Master, I'm here!

"OK! Got it!"

Kyojuro turned his head and said to Shinobu Kocho:

"Master Xin Yi asked me to tell you!

"Moses Moses!"
