The speed of Zenitsu's thrust was not slowed down at all, it was just that the overall speed was too fast, so Yugok could not feel it.
But Zenitsu himself was not satisfied with this speed.
What can such a weak sword cut?
He never wanted to be the weak coward he once was.
Why did it slow down!? Zenitsu asked himself, his whole face looked ferocious, and the pale lightning that lingered around it looked like a glaring King Kong.
Is the corridor too small impeding my progress?
Are there too many evil spirits making me flinch?
How can it be!?
Cut them off, cut them off! Cut off everything in front of you!
"suck--"
Zenitsu breathed again, and the breathing method worked to the extreme. The crack-like spots on Zenitsu's body appeared like the cracks left by lightning strikes. Those were the 'spots' of his awakening! The spots spread along his neck to his eyes, and the lightning made his pupils radiate.
With pale light.
The sudden increase in power caused his speed, which had initially slowed down, to increase explosively. The long knife was moving at high speed and rubbed violently with the air. A bright crimson color suddenly appeared on the blade. This was the 'He Dao'
!
"boom--"
After the sword light and blood receded, the thunder finally exploded, and the corridor filled with countless evil ghosts instantly burst open. The evil ghosts could not even make a scream before being hidden by the thunder light.
"bass--"
The sound of the long knife being sheathed was harsh and sharp, and smoke generated by high temperature friction rose from the scabbard.
Zenitsu stopped with a somewhat struggling look on his face, and stood behind Yu Yue's body that had not yet had time to fall.
"So fast……"
It wasn't until his neck was cut off and the eyes of Zhuo Yue's head whirled that he realized what he was doing and revealed a look of horror filled with disbelief.
"I couldn't react at all!! What move was that just now!? Could it be that he used some move that I don't know about!? Why don't I remember this move in Breath of Thunder!"
Gongyue's head fell heavily to the ground. Facing Zenitsu's back, his face suddenly became ferocious, full of hatred, and he roared at Zenitsu, "Damn, damn old man!! As expected.
, that old immortal really taught you some unique skills without telling me!"
"Hopeless."
The struggle disappeared, and Zenitsu's eyes were full of indifference. Originally, he might have had a trace of regret for cutting off his senior brother's head with his own hands, but at this moment, this regret disappeared in an instant.
"This is the sword skill I honed specifically to kill you!"
"What!? You said it was you..."
These words seemed to be a heavier blow to Zhu Yue than having his neck cut off.
"This guy is saying... that he created the seventh form by himself? This loser actually created the seventh form of sword skill from Breath of Thunder, which only has six forms!?"
Unbelievable, Zhu Yue's gradually disappearing head was filled with incomprehensible expressions.
"Just him!? That trash who only knows one type and is far inferior to me in strength!? This is absolutely impossible! I can't accept this fact no matter what! How could I die with such a useless sword?
Down!?"
Already overwhelmed by anger and jealousy, he was completely unaware that Zenitsu's strength at this moment had already surpassed him by an unknown distance, and he was still indulged in his own fantasies.
His body was dissipating. In his last sight, he saw Zenitsu's cold and heartless eyes as he turned back. Then, his fantasy was shattered.
Everything seems to be in vain, and ending his sinful life alone and miserably is his final destination.
······
"tread--"
The sound of footsteps suddenly stopped, and the corridor fell into a deathly silence.
Tanjiro and Tomioka Giyu were unconsciously sweating on their foreheads at this moment. Their right hands slowly grasped the handle of the knife at their waists, and their eyes were wary of staring at the figure blocking the road in front of them.
This figure stood silently facing them, looking down at his open palms. It was as if he had been standing here all along, but the two of them happened to bump into each other.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Yiwo Zuo has been standing here, thinking about what to do, and just now, he figured it out.
"Third string on the string, Yiwo seat..."
Tanjiro looked nervously and said to Tomioka Giyu who was standing aside, because Giyuu had never faced this ghost before and didn't know how powerful this ghost was.
The ghost in front of him is probably the strongest ghost that Tanjiro can think of besides Muzan. This is a fighting ghost without the weakness of the neck, and its physical skills have been honed to the peak!
To be honest, if a fight really breaks out now, Tanjiro can't think of any way to kill the ghost in front of him at this moment.
Because in this infinite city, even delaying until dawn is of no use, until the physical strength is exhausted, that is when he and Yiyong will die.
But……
What confused Tanjiro, Tomioka and Giyuu was that this ghost did not show any killing intent or fighting intent. It just stood there silently, looking at the palms of its hands in a daze.
"Are you...going to that adult?"
After a long silence, Yi Wo Zuo finally raised his head and asked.
"That adult...that's right!"
Tanjiro quickly realized that the 'sama' this ghost was referring to was Muzan.
"Are you trying to stop us?"
As he said this, two sounds of drawing swords were heard, and the two sun-lunar knives were unsheathed, pointing warily at the figure of Yiwo Zuo, ready to fight at any time.
"Come with me."
Unexpectedly, Yiwozuo turned around and left.
"!???"
The hands of Tanjiro and Tomioka Giyu holding the swords trembled slightly.
They looked at each other, and both sides saw the same question in the other's eyes: "What did this ghost just say? Did I hear it wrong?" When they realized that the other party heard the same thing, they quickly confirmed that they had heard it correctly.
That's right, Yiwo Zuo asked them to follow him.
"What the hell!?" Tanjiro was confused.
"how could I know!?"
Even Tomioka Giyuu, who has always been calm, couldn't hold back.
What is going on? Can there be internal strife among ghosts?
They didn't believe Yiwozuo's words, and they didn't dare to follow him. What if it was a trap?
In fact, it's no wonder that they were suspicious, because any swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps should know that a ghost cannot betray Onimbutsuji Mukai.
Once there are thoughts of betrayal, Kibutsuji Muzan can wipe them out with just one thought.
"Mr. Tomioka, what should we... do?"
Tanjiro gently raised his sword to indicate whether he wanted to attack.
But he was soon stopped by Tomioka Yoshiyuki.
He pressed down Tanjiro's sword and shook his head slowly, "Let's take a detour."
"Understood."
Seeing this, Tanjiro nodded slightly in agreement.
That's right, it doesn't matter whether Yiwozuo's back to them is a trap or not. All they have to do now is to contain Wuhan. As long as this ghost doesn't get in the way, everything is not a problem, and they don't need to follow him.
An unkillable ghost fights to death.
Soon, after confirming that Yi Wo Zuo would not turn around to pursue them, the two of them took a detour and continued in the direction of the suffocating smell.
"..."
Of course Yiwozuo also noticed the movement behind him.
"Sure enough, I can't go back."
He sighed slightly and continued to walk slowly in the original direction.
Yiwozuo is very aware of his situation. He is now a ghost, or a very evil ghost who has killed countless people.
At this time, it is simply a fool's errand to think of 'turning back and finding the right shore'.
"But it doesn't matter, you say?"
"Yes, Koji-nii."
A faint sound reached Yi Wo Zuo's ears. Maybe it was just an illusion, but Yi Wo Zuo did hear such a sound, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips involuntarily.
He forgot how many years he had not shown such an expression. Perhaps, this was an expression he would only show when he was still human when facing an important person.
At this moment, he finally remembered this person's name - "Lianxue."
He recalled the true meaning of becoming stronger.
That was a promise made under the fireworks at the temple fair a long time ago.
"As long as I have Koji-nii, can you marry me?"
The beautiful girl as pure and flawless as snow asked.
"Yes, I will become stronger than anyone else and protect you throughout my life."
He also answered firmly.
But he broke the promise.
"I actually forgot my promise, damn it."
When we reached the end of the corridor, the wall blocked the way to Yiwozao.
Destruction Kill·Luo Zhen.
Snowflake-like marks spread out under his feet, forming a domain with him as the core.
Then, he slowly raised his palm and pushed it out.
In an instant, a deafening sound resounded throughout the corridor, and the wall blocking him cracked like a torrent.
After the dust dispersed, his figure was nowhere to be seen.
In a direction that Yiwozuo hadn't noticed, an illusory figure seemed to have always been there.
The girl's eyes looked softly at the place where Yi Wo Zuo had just expanded his territory.
"Don't you still remember this?"
A happy smile appeared on the girl's face.
On top of her head, a snowflake-like hair ornament shimmered, which was the same shape as the 'Compass Needle' at the foot of Yiwo Zuo.
Even though he had lost his memory, Yiwozuo's body seemed to have subconsciously remembered the promise he made. He worked hard to become stronger in order to protect the 'snow' that he had been unable to protect.
But all this seems meaningless, the deceased has passed away, and no one can reverse hundreds of years of time and space to rewrite this tragedy.
However, judging from the gentle smiles on their faces, it is still unknown whether the road ahead will be 'unfortunate'.
······
"Ah! Mr. Ihei, look!"
The advancing Kanroji Mitsuri suddenly stopped and pointed in surprise at the figure sitting upright on the high platform not far away.
The one blocking their way is a ghost called Shangxian, Mingnu.
Their current mission is to clear out all the evil spirits that hinder their actions. Of course, these Shangxian ghosts standing in front of them are the primary target.
Yes 'these', because there is more than one winding ghost here.
"Boom——"
It seemed that Naruto sensed the approaching danger, and the structure of Mugen City began to change again.
But this time she didn't want to move the two humans in front of her away from here, because she couldn't do it.
If the other party is a ghost, she can use her own power to force the transfer, but the other party is two powerful ghost hunters. No matter how the structure of Infinite City changes, unless she can instantly send the two of them to a distance where she cannot sense her
Otherwise, these wooden buildings would not be able to stop these two humans.
What she needs now is not to move the target, but to build a battlefield.
Gradually, under the surprised gazes of Kanroji Mitsuri and Iguro Kobanai, the space here gradually turned into a wide dojo, and at the end was Narume playing the pipa.
This battle seems inevitable.
But it doesn't seem that easy to get in front of Naruko.
Because just as the room was changing, a ferocious evil spirit slowly emerged from under the floor.
This ghost seems to have been placed here a long time ago to protect the core of Infinite City.
This ghost is not an ordinary human form, but like a monster with three heads and six arms. It is more like a temporary patchwork product, using the number of heads and arms to make up for the lack of physical strength. After all, ghosts with more heads will certainly
The harder it is to kill.
Although the words "Shangxian Wu" are engraved in the eyes of this strange-looking ghost, it is difficult to say whether it is really as strong as the Shangxian Wu.
Shangxianzhisi and Shangxianzhiwu? These two ghosts should have been defeated by their demon slaying team. Didn't you expect that new people would be found to fill the vacancies so quickly?
But the quality seems... hard to describe.
Ganluji and Yihei looked at each other, with the same thought in their eyes.
If Zenitsu came here and saw this 'synthetic beast'-like monster, he would probably laugh out loud, because his hateful senior brother was actually not as good as this improvised monster, and could only be ranked sixth.
"Is Wu Pei already exhausted? Let's go one by one, shall we?"
After a brief exchange, the two of them acted at the same time. Kanroji rushed towards Naru without hesitation, while Iguro rushed towards the nameless ghost with three heads and eyes engraved with the word "Shangxian Wu".
Now is not the time to compete for credit or show off one's abilities. Efficiency is the first priority.
Iguro Kobanai knew that Kanroji Temple at this moment was actually far stronger than him in terms of destructive power, and it was best suited to deal with the Shangxing Shi that could change the surrounding environment to contain the enemy.
And his mission is to take care of this ugly evil ghost.
This ghost doesn't seem very strong, but it seems quite troublesome.
Because the self-healing ability of ghosts is extremely strong, although this ghost is temporarily pieced together, since it is a winding ghost, it must have the self-healing ability of the winding level.
What gave him a headache was that this ghost had three heads.
Just cutting off one of the heads will have no effect, because the self-healing ability of the string ghost can grow it back in just one breath.
In other words, if you want to kill this ghost, you must cut off three heads at almost the same time, or you must do it under the obstruction of six arms.
"Let's try it first."
Iguro Kobanei murmured to himself.
"bass--"
The curved, snake-shaped double-sided blade slowly drew out from the scabbard, and the blade appeared a penetrating purple color as if it was filled with snake venom.
Along with the sound of the sword, the evil ghost with only three heads and six arms seemed to sense the killing intent emerging from the human being in front of him.
