I'm sorry, I, Daoyu Gaoyue, am a scumbag.

"Dao Yu, do you have anything else to do?"

Uyashiki Yaoya seemed a little tired, and slowly sat on the ground with the support of his two daughters.

After all the other pillars left the mansion, Gogake looked at Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya, "I can feel that my body has reached the limit of human beings. Even if I continue to practice and exercise, I can no longer make progress. ”

"Originally, I thought I was strong enough."

"But after fighting against Shangxian No. 6, I suddenly felt that it was not enough."

Now, the spiritual power has reached 40/49, and it seems to have entered a new bottleneck.

When fighting against the prostitute Taro, Yue Yue might have failed to do his best from a certain perspective.

He only used the self-healing ability of his body's quality and mental power, but did not use the explosive power blessed by mental power.

But even so, it is far from enough.

Unless you continue to devour a large amount of souls without limit to achieve a qualitative change in quantity.

But there is something strange about the spirit, and he is now much more cautious about devouring the spirit core.

Moreover, when I saw Hudie Kanae just now, I shouldn't have that heart-pounding feeling.

Something is very wrong...

After thinking about it, Yugake looked at Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya again, "The sixth chapter of the string is not difficult for me to deal with."

"However, there are five more powerful ones than the Sixth String, plus the ancestor of ghosts."

"Their strength increases step by step. The one above will be stronger than the next."

"So, it's difficult for me to specifically imagine the strength of the previous top stringers and the ancestors of demons, but frankly speaking, I don't think the Demon Slayers have a chance of winning, or even a slight chance."

"Because according to my simple speculation, the second string or even the third string has the power to destroy a few of us."

Ubuyashiki Yōya sat cross-legged on the ground without caring about etiquette and looked at Yugake, "So, what you mean is..."

Gakue stared into Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya's eyes, "Anjuro accidentally told me that the swordsmen of that generation recorded in the Book of Fire were all very powerful, and the leader even forced the ancestor of ghosts into a desperate situation. .”

"I don't think it's something a human being can do just by being physically capable."

"Because my current body can be considered to have reached the limit of human beings."

"In other words, that generation had different powers than us..."

Yu Yue's eyes seemed to be shining when he looked at Uyashiki Yaoya.

He was sure that Ubuyashiki Yoshiya knew something.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have shook my head just now.

At the same time, I was also very confused as to why I wanted to hide it.

Are you just like me, devouring other people's souls?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yue was slightly excited.

Is there anyone like me...

Ubuyashiki Yōya was silent.

One intact eye, and the other eye that had been eroded by the curse, looked at each other with Yu Yue.

But for a moment, he sighed slowly and seemed to have made up his mind, "Yes, Daoyu."

"The swordsmen of that generation had the power to overdraw their lives."

"That power is called zebra."

Overdrafting life is different from me...

Zhu Yue frowned slightly.

If there really was a guy like him, he thought he could refer to mental-related issues.

And Ubuyashiki Yoshiya also continued to tell, "The source of this power is the Breath of the Sun user you just mentioned."

"We also recorded some relevant information about the swordsman."

"His body has marks similar to those of ghosts."

"Although it's strange, at first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary birthmark or something."

"But later, when the physical fitness of other swordsmen reaches a certain level, as long as they get close to the master of Breath of the Sun, their bodies will seem to resonate, and such strange lines will also appear during battle."

"Without exception, swordsmen who have markings will be greatly strengthened, and they will be completely different from before. In history, there are also records of countless swordsmen who awakened the power of markings in battle and turned defeat into victory. He single-handedly defeated a powerful evil spirit that countless others had been unable to defeat before.”

"But as more and more swordsmen awaken their stripes, people will soon discover that all striped swordsmen will die at the age of twenty-five."

"This is the strength gained from overdrafting life."

Ubuyashiki Yōya's voice was very heavy.

"Is it just the cost of overdrafting your life?"

Zhuo Yue frowned, "Even so... isn't it obvious which one is more cost-effective if you are not strong enough to be killed and eaten by ghosts, or trade your lifespan for strength to kill evil ghosts and live to the age of twenty-five?"

This is such a huge profit!

He didn't believe that Ubuyashiki wouldn't understand such a simple comparison.

"Of course there are other reasons."

Ubuyashiki Yōya continued, "Because the power of the pattern is too strong, after the death of the original batch of patterned swordsmen, there have been many swordsmen who wanted to reopen the pattern."

"But the condition for turning on the markings is..."

His words were suddenly choked, and his voice suddenly got stuck in his throat as he looked at Yu Yue, whose eyes seemed to be filled with light.

Zhuo Yue blinked and said, "Keep talking, why don't you stop talking?"

It is precisely because of this that the matter of markings is concealed...

Then, Ubuyashiki Yōya seemed to give a bitter smile, "All the swordsmen who have tried have died because their bodies could not bear the load."

Zhuo Yue reacted, "So it turns out that you are hiding this information because you are afraid that the swordsmen will try to open the markings privately."

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya nodded, "Yes, and every time the Demon Slayer Corps reaches its most difficult period, the swordsmen want to try more, but after failure, it will become even more difficult, forming an endless cycle."

"So what are the conditions?"

"..."

"I'm just curious."

Seeing that Uyashiki Yaoya didn't say anything, Gogaku added, "Don't worry, I won't try to turn on the markings."

Ubuya Shiki Yaoya glanced at Yu Yue, but still didn't want to say anything.

Seeing this, Zhu Yue's fingers moved slightly, and a touch of spiritual power rippled slightly.

"I'm just curious. It's very dangerous to overdraw your life or something."

As he said that, he reached out and touched the two little girls with big eyes next to Uyashiki Yaoya, "Your daughter? She's so cute. She looks exactly the same. She can't be twins. What's her name?"

A smile and a hint of guilt appeared on Ubuyashiki Yōya's face, "It's Hikka and Hinaki who were born into the cursed Ubuyashiki family. I have wronged them..."

"Don't say that, Father."

The two girls spoke together, their voices very soft and soft.

Yoya Shiki also showed a smile and reached out to touch the heads of his two daughters.

Zhuo Yue's eyes flashed, and his hand continued to emit waves, "So, what are the conditions for turning on the stripes?"
