Chapter 173 The battle beyond the realm!
Chapter 173 The battle beyond the realm!
"This kid... is a lunatic!!" Akaza's eyes flashed with a sharp light. How could he forget Tanjiro's condition? That was the appearance of that monster, Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
That feeling, and the state were almost exactly the same, as well as the disappearance of the fighting spirit. That was the ultimate destination of all martial arts, the supreme realm!
The ultimate that he pursued appeared before his eyes, but Akaza was not as excited as he had expected. Instead, he observed Tanjiro's condition carefully and remained silent.
After a moment, a dull look flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.
"This isn't the state I wanted. It's different, not what I imagined! What is the end of me?!"
At this moment, the light in Akaza's eyes was gone, and a layer of haze appeared. He looked coldly at Tanjiro in front of him, and a hint of doubt arose in his mind.
I doubt that the strength I pursue is not what I want, or I doubt that the path I originally took was wrong from the beginning.
But...doubts came and went quickly, and he chose to believe in the strength that he instinctively pursued. This was an obsession, the obsession he had when he was still a human.
That obsession made him stronger, but it was not enough for Akaza to persist.
What he wanted was nothing more than a sense of emptiness when pursuing great power. The more he pursued becoming stronger, the heavier that feeling became, so heavy that he felt suffocated.
Therefore, in addition to the instinctive desire to become stronger, this strange feeling has made Akaza obsessed for many years over the past few hundred years.
He desperately wanted to know the truth of this feeling.
Therefore, Akaza was certain that the supreme realm he imagined existed, and only after reaching that realm would the truth he instinctively pursue come to light.
After examining the decision he had made in his heart, Akaza raised his hand towards Tanjiro and spoke in a serious tone.
"Come on, little... monster!"
At this time, Akaza was ready to close Luozhen's domain, because he had fought against powerful monsters with Tsugikuni Yoriichi and had personally experienced the wonders brought by the supreme domain.
I understood that in this state, my fighting spirit would be hidden, and all my feelings would be hidden and disappear, as if I was facing a plant, a lifeless plant.
Therefore, Akaza started special training for this. Since the compass needle could not sense the body, he would focus on his vision, hearing, and body reaction to keep himself in perfect condition.
Therefore, the compass needle became unnecessary, but just as Akaza was about to reclaim his territory, a familiar fighting spirit appeared in the detection range of the compass needle!
Akaza's pupils trembled violently, and he looked in the direction of the compass needle's sensing. Then his eyes returned to their normal expression, as if he had expected it.
After all, he was the person who gave her so many strange feelings since the first time they met, and he was also the first "human" who made her feel such intense disgust!
"This generation of the Demon Slayer Corps is truly an era of emerging talents!"
"Come, this time I won't make a mistake. I will get the key to the road right now!"
Akaza spoke calmly, lifted the Luozhen domain, raised his hands and made the same stance as before, looked at Tanjiro and Kyojuro in front of him, raised the corners of his mouth and revealed his fangs that were determined to win.
Kyojuro was leaning against the wall at this moment, his clothes had been taken off, leaving his upper body naked, revealing the large scar on his back.
Kyojuro was gasping for breath. He had no idea what was happening to him, and he couldn't understand why he was still alive when he should have been at the gates of hell.
He glanced around without saying a word or thinking too much. His eyes swept from Akaza to the still unconscious Tomioka Giyuu, and finally fell on Tanjiro.
Tanjiro also looked over at the same time, but he did not look as excited and happy as imagined. His expression was still dull, but he looked at Kyojuro very intently.
This moment is so important that Tanjiro must follow his inner feelings to maintain the state of a transparent world and not lose it because of momentary excitement.
"You've become a great team member, boy." Kyojuro said with a smile, his breath was weak, but full of trust and affirmation.
Kyojuro really wanted to say a few more words, but he felt extremely exhausted both physically and mentally and could not waste any more time.
Besides...it's not good to leave others hanging.
"Breathing of Flame: Full Concentration!"
At this moment, the red-gold flame gushed out from Kyojuro's body without reservation, burning calmly and swirling around him, gradually merging into Kyojuro's body and the Nichirin Sword.
"This is..." Akaza saw through his condition at a glance. Just like Tomioka Giyu, he had been on the verge of life and death and had broken through his limits after being reborn. His breathing method had evolved.
"Breakthrough?!" These two words instantly appeared in Akaza's mind.
In the blink of an eye, the three figures disappeared from the spot, turning into afterimages entangled together, and the clanging sound of swords clashing could be heard.
Akaza gave up the rhythm of fierce attack. Now the strength of the two is almost at the same level, and it is difficult to find a breakthrough.
Tanjiro lacks fighting experience, but the abilities gained from the transparent world almost make up for his shortcomings.
Kyojuro has rich combat experience, but he does not have the ability to hide his fighting spirit brought by the transparent world. However, he has increased strength after the evolution of his breathing method.
In addition, the wound caused by Tomioka Giyu's knife has not yet healed. If one person is chosen as a breakthrough point, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents.
But... in this situation, Akaza felt very good, this was exactly the battle he wanted!
"Destruction Killing Ran Style!" Akaza seized the opportunity and pounced forward at the moment when Tanjiro and Kyojuro were getting closer.
In just a moment, he unleashed a series of powerful punches that enveloped the two of them in confusion. The destructive force of the shock wave emitted by it shook the ground to pieces.
"Breathing of Flame·Five Forms·Flame Tiger!"
Xing Selang took a step forward and swung his sword. The flames gathered into a ferocious flaming tiger that rushed forward.
The moment the Flame Tiger and the shock wave collided, the two canceled each other out and broke apart, producing a huge impact!
Boom boom boom——!
"Kagura, the God of Fire, Sun-Phantom Rainbow!"
The moment the two collided, Tanjiro performed a specialized dodge dance at high speed and arrived in front of Akaza.
"God of Fire Kagura: Tobin Enyo!" After Tanjiro came up, he changed his posture and used his sword skills in an instant!
"Hmph, you're courting death!" Akaza snorted coldly, intending to retreat a step and seize the opportunity of Tanjiro.
But after looking directly at the Nichirin Blade swung by Tanjiro, he discovered a clue. He found that the tip of the blade was swaying like the scorching sun, and the length of the blade seemed to be shortened in his sight.
But is it really short?
That was impossible, so Akaza took a big step back, but because he suddenly changed his posture too quickly, he almost fell to the ground.
Blood oozed from Akaza's neck. As expected, the shortening of the blade was an illusion.
If it is not discovered early, let alone whether it can be cut down, even if it cannot be cut down, it will become a flaw!
"You really make me happy, Tanjiro!" Akaza suddenly said, then rushed forward.
"Destruction Kill·Final Style·Green Silver Chaotic Afterglow!"
This move should have been released at the same time as the Luo Needle to hit the opponent more accurately, but because the Luo Needle had been turned off before to deal with Tanjiro's transparent world, it was impossible to hit the target more accurately.
Therefore, Akaza chose to use this move more frequently, more chaotically, and over a larger range, launching hundreds or even thousands of missiles in all directions in an instant, with fast speed and great power, like exploding sparks!
The area covered by Tanjiro is several times larger than the original range!
