I'm in Zongman, if you mess with me, you'll die

In order to prevent Akaza from having time to recover from his injuries, Rengoku Kyojuro and Beimei Yugyoku looked at each other and rushed towards Akaza in the ruins.

The charge of the two was also noticed by Akaza in the ruins at the same time.

Although the wounds on his body showed no signs of healing until now, the pressure from the two men was too great. He endured the pain in his body, clenched his remaining fist, and all the strength in his body burst out instantly.

The stone that buried him carried tremendous force and shot out like a bullet, forcing the two charging men to dodge while moving forward.

They don't have the powerful super-speed regeneration like ghosts, so they have to be cautious when facing any attack that may hurt them.

But it was such a simple attack, like a child throwing a stone, that gave Akaza an opportunity.

whoosh...

Taking advantage of the time the two men took to dodge the stones, he rushed straight forward.

Destruction Killing Style

The fist filled with destructive power appeared in front of Rengoku Kyojuro in an instant and smashed into his head without hesitation.

Looking at Akaza with a smile on his face, a hint of calmness flashed in Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes. Now his strength was not much different from that of Akaza. He clearly realized this since the very beginning of the battle with him.

The only difference between him and Akaza is the difference in tolerance.

As a demon, Akaza has the unique ability of blood demon art, and is not afraid of getting hurt, which is something that Rengoku Kyojuro as a human can never compare to.

If he were to fight alone, it would probably be a difficult war of attrition and the outcome would be hard to predict.

But now he is not alone, he has the Rock Pillar to protect him and back him up. At this time, Akaza is already seriously injured, with one arm broken, and the wounds on his body look extremely hideous.

These rubbles could only slow down the two men and could not even pose any threat. Their attention was always on Akaza.

Facing Akaza's attack, they had already noticed it and were just waiting for Akaza to come to them.

Breathing of Fire: Type 1: Shiranui

shuh...

After slashing in the air with his sword, Rengoku Kyojuro's gaze immediately shifted to Akaza on his right. He was not surprised that he had dodged the attack, and the sword technique in his hand smoothly shifted to a defensive position, ready to respond to the impending attack at any time.

at this time.

"His target is not you, but Yiyong!!"

Beimei Yukimei's shout made Rengoku Kyojuro break out in cold sweat at that moment. No wonder, no wonder Akaza's attack route was so strange. Logically speaking, if he really wanted to kill him, he should be on his left side, and attack him while he had no time to adjust his posture before swinging his sword.

Even if it would be blocked by the rock pillars, it would still be a great opportunity.

But what Rengoku Kyojuro never expected was that Akaza's target was Tomioka. What was the point? Even if he could kill Tomioka, he would not be able to turn the tide of the battle. Instead, he would put himself in danger of death.

At this moment, Rengoku Kyojuro's swordsmanship, which was about to change, changed rapidly again. He looked at Akaza who was passing by him with a grim expression.

Breath of Fire: Secret: Nine Types: Purgatory

If this move was used by Rengoku Kyojuro who had not yet opened the transparent world, he might need a little preparation.

But when the transparent world was opened, he mastered all the moves of Breathing of Flame in an instant. The only difference was the speed of changing the sword techniques. With this most basic skill, every pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps can be said to have reached the pinnacle.

Now facing the crisis that his companion might face death, the veins on Rengoku Kyojuro's hand holding the knife suddenly bulged, and all the strength in his body burst out in an instant.

boom……

The ground beneath his feet was left with a deep footprint by Rengoku Kyojuro's enormous force, and spider-web-like cracks appeared around the footprint.

Rengoku Kyojuro disappeared from the spot in an instant, and the blade in his hand seemed to be wrapped by an illusory fire dragon as he chased after Akaza.

On the other side, Gyomei Hieijima's face was also full of anger, with blue veins bulging on his forehead. After realizing Akaza's purpose, he opened his mouth to remind Rengoku Kyojuro, while the meteor hammer and broad axe in his hands attacked Akaza one after another.

The meteor hammer aimed to follow Akaza's figure, while Broad Axe predicted Akaza's route and wanted to slow down his speed so that Rengoku Kyojuro could hold him back and wait for him to arrive in time.

The situation changed so quickly that at this moment, facing the crisis of death, Giyu Tomioka felt as if time had stood still.

Looking at Akaza who was less than one meter away from him, and the angry figure of Rengoku Kyojuro chasing him behind him, as well as the unprecedented ferocity of Beimeijima Gyomei, for some reason he did not have any fear of death in his heart.

Instead, his mood calmed down. He had always felt that he was not worthy of being the Water Pillar, and that the person who was qualified to be the Pillar should be that person.

That was Xuantu who saved everyone at that time. If it weren’t for him, I would have died in that selection long ago.

Why am I, who should have died in the selection, alive, while the person who should have lived is dead? Am I really qualified to fight with the other pillars?

If I hadn't retreated this time, the two of them would have killed Akaza long ago.

Tomioka Giyu closed his eyes and let himself play his final role, to win them the opportunity to kill Akaza, to let himself, who should have been dead long ago, play his final role...

"Yiyong!!!!"

At this moment, Rengoku Kyojuro's furious roar reached Tomioka Giyu's ears, and the roar was filled with anxiety and hatred for not fighting back.

This voice is so familiar, just like the sound of a rabbit...

Tomioka Giyu suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, he remembered. Countless memories that he had forgotten were echoing in his mind at this moment.

The memory of my sister who was willing to protect it at all costs, and the future that Xuantu entrusted to me...

Tears streamed down his cheeks. Why did he forget that they risked their lives to save him? Wasn't it because they wanted him to survive? Why did he choose to betray their trust? Why...

Looking at the fist that contained terrifying power and Akaza's smile that seemed like he was about to succeed.

Tomioka Giyuu instantly clenched the Nichirin sword in his hand, his eyes fixed on the iron fist that was less than a few dozen centimeters away from him. He swore that he would never have such thoughts again. He would inherit the entrustment of Santo and his sister, and he must stay alive...

Weng...

At this moment, Giyu Tomioka's mind became clear, and the world in his eyes became transparent in just 0.01 seconds.
