After traveling through Demon Slayer, is it possible to survive?

Chapter 176: Selflessness? Selflessness?

pound--!

Akaza's powerful blow hit Kyojuro in a fatal spot, the heart!

Although the flames did not penetrate the armor, Akaza's fist did sink into Kyoshiro's chest.

At this moment, Xing Shoulang did not feel any pain, but felt his body...

"My body...can't move?" Xing Shoulang thought to himself, feeling that his body could no longer be driven by his thoughts, and he felt weak.

However, the sword skills did not stop, and continued to chop towards Akaza's neck!

But this is not what Akaza is looking for at the moment!

The other hand is clenched into a fist, and the back of the fist is used to strike upward towards the blade. This move is Akaza's specialty and is a way to destroy knives.

Ding--! !

Kyojuro's Nichirin Sword broke with a crisp sound as it shattered into two pieces. Kyojuro also completely lost control of his body, unable to hold the Nichirin Sword tightly anymore, but he remained standing, his eyes still wide open!

Tanjiro, who had regained some of his vision, saw this scene. He was still unable to enter the transparent world again and could no longer hold on.

The miracle did not happen again. His body was too weak at the moment and he could not enter that state again.

“Haa ...

At this moment, tears welled up in Tanjiro's eyes. The intense sadness could no longer be hidden, and he couldn't stop sobbing.

At this moment, Tanjiro hated his own incompetence very much, and was angry at himself for not trying harder. He was obviously the successor of the Breathing of the Sun, the direct disciple of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and the first swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps in modern times to open the mark!

Although he has such favorable conditions, his strength is still so weak, far from reaching the level of his master, Yuichiro Tsuchikuni!

Looking at Tanjiro crying, Akaza did not show any contempt, because Akaza had already recognized Tanjiro.

And it’s not that Tanjiro is too weak, but that the enemy is too strong!

"Wow...Ahhhh...I'm going to kill you! Akaza!!"

Tanjiro held the Nichirin sword tightly in both hands and rushed towards Akaza regardless of everything, without noticing that the blade of his Nichirin sword had turned extremely red at this moment.

Akaza saw this scene, his eyes fixed on the process of Tanjiro's sword turning from pitch black to bright red.

"That's... one of the abilities that monster displayed! He actually has it too!?"

"Kagura, the God of Fire, Round Dance!"

Akaza's eyes gradually turned calm. At this moment, Tanjiro had become a real strong man.

But what changes will this bring?

The answer is no.

Akaza didn't dodge, but stretched out his hand, grabbed the blade of the Nichirin Sword with his palm, and confronted Tanjiro.

"Why are you so angry, Tanjiro?"

"Isn't this perfectly normal? In the eyes of humans, birth, aging, illness, and death all lead to death. Disease, accidents, and poisoning are all forms of death; it's just a matter of time."

"And from the moment you step into this city, your lives will end this very night, because 'that' will kill everyone."

"And Kyojuro died at my hands."

Akaza spoke slowly to Tanjiro, his tone flat and indifferent, as if he had already become indifferent to life and death.

But how could Tanjiro listen to him? Every word Akaza said made Tanjiro more angry, and he started to roar.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Shouldn't I be furious? You took Kyojuro's life!!"

"Just for this, shouldn't I be furious?!"

"Have you never experienced the pain and anger of losing someone important to you?!"

Tanjiro's words were like a powerful punch, hitting Akaza, causing the broken memories to flash in his mind again.

At the same time, Tanjiro's words about losing an important person echoed over and over in my mind!

"Su Liu... Fireworks...!?"

At this moment, Akaza felt flustered and a sense of uneasiness spread throughout his body.

But Akaza didn't know why he had such a feeling. He had obviously overcome the difficulties, broken through the shackles, and reached the highest realm.

However, this feeling of uneasiness cannot be eliminated or controlled, and it is getting stronger and stronger!

Akaza suddenly grabbed the Nichirin Sword with all his strength, letting the blade embed his palm deeply into it, and spoke.

"You guys really gave me a lot of experience, but now it's over!"

Akaza no longer paused. At this moment, he just wanted to quickly resolve this matter. Because at this moment, he didn't know why, he was worried that his memory would return! ?

Tanjiro, realizing what Akaza was going to do, wanted to pull out the stuck Nichirin Sword, but was helpless. He wanted to use a headbutt, but was unable to do so because the distance was too far.

He could only let Akaza raise his other hand and strike the blade of the Nichirin sword just like he had done when he shattered Kyojuro's Nichirin sword!

Ding--! !

At the moment the sound came, Tanjiro only felt the handle of the Nichirin sword in his hand trembling, but he found that... the Nichirin sword was not broken like Kyojuro's elder brother's Nichirin sword! !

At this moment, Akaza was also quietly looking at the part where he hit the Nichirin Sword, his eyes full of disbelief.

"This time the power is even stronger than Kyojuro's... How could this be..."

"And... why is there a flame on your body? And why is the sword still buzzing?"

At this moment, the battlefield was filled with the sound of the sword from the Nichirin Sword in Tanjiro's hand. At the same time, for some unknown reason, flames ignited on Akaza's body, burning his body!

Akaza's eyes were full of confusion at this sudden situation, and Tanjiro was even more confused, because for some reason, his vision and body had recovered a little at this moment!

And within the flames burning on Akaza's body, a shadow appeared!!

Although it was blurry, it was clear enough to see that it was a strong man with simple clothes and a mask on his face?!

At the same time, Tanjiro also felt strange in his body, his blood was surging, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated with the buzzing sound of the Nichirin Sword.

Akaza was still shocked at why the Nichirin Sword had not broken, and only after a moment did he realize that it had been ignited by a blazing flame.

This doesn't seem to be an ordinary flame. It will penetrate into the flesh and burn, burning the bones inside the target's body.

[“Is it an illusion? I didn’t feel any pain…”] Although his body was burned by flames, Akaza didn’t feel any pain. But until his body was burned and emitted a burnt smell… Akaza understood the reason.

The highest state is the state of no self, where one forgets the boundaries between self and external things and calms the mind.

But Akaza is a little different. Although the destination is the same, how many people who want to explore the path can embark on this road? Who can say for sure that everything is the same?

Akaza found a way and broke through the shackles, but when it comes to forgetting himself, Akaza is more like "forgetting" himself, summarizing himself in nothingness and forgetting the pain?!

After realizing this, Akaza was not confused, nor did he have any other excessive emotions. Instead, he felt that it was reasonable. As for why?

He couldn't tell himself.

However, at this time, Akaza shifted his gaze from the Nichirin Sword to Tanjiro, but Akaza was not in the mood to judge others.

[“That feeling is coming back…what could it be this time?”]

Akaza looked into Tanjiro's eyes, and through his eyes, Akaza saw the figure of Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

Through the figure of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the figure of a person who was similar in appearance but completely opposite in every way gradually appeared in Akaza's vague memory.

One of the Upper Ranks, the Black Death Eyes!!
