Chapter 168 The Path Chosen by Yiyong
Akaza, who had no head or sight, activated the induction of the compass and attacked fiercely in the direction of Tomioka Giyuu.
Various moves were used one after another. Yiyong retreated repeatedly and dodged everywhere, completely unable to fight back.
Looking at Akaza's frantic attack, Giyuu couldn't help but think: "Could it be that this guy has only just now used his true strength? Is the gap... really that big?!"
"Tsk!" Giyuu spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and distanced himself. Looking at Akaza who was still searching for his target in the distance, he thought of a way.
After confirming that he was out of the range of that strange detection, Giyuu exhaled slowly, then breathed in and out several times quickly, disrupting his breathing method and causing his concentration to be on the verge of collapse.
Plop, plop, plop——!!
Yiyong felt his heart beating violently, and also felt the heat coming from his body, as if there was a small stove in his body constantly emitting heat!
The feeling of anger is constantly accumulating and is gradually getting better.
If we had to choose the strongest one in the Demon Slayer Corps, it would undoubtedly be Gyoumei Hirumi.
Because Yoriichi Tsugakuni is not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps at all.
The two with the strongest talents are Tokito Muichiro and Urokodaki Satoshi.
A young genius who was able to fight against the Pillars without losing after wielding a sword for only two months. He was also recognized as a Pillar by the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps. He also comprehended and created the derivative breathing method of Kasumi Breathing from the Breathing of Wind.
The other one, after becoming an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps, became a Pillar eleven months later, and practiced the Water Breathing to the extreme, creating a new style.
More than fifty ghosts were hunted down during the missions carried out during these eleven months, and no one died in any of the teams during the missions.
In this extremely short period of time, he fulfilled the requirements to become a Pillar, and later became the strongest Water Pillar in history. He is an extraordinary genius!
The one who grew the fastest was Giyu Tomioka.
He also cultivated the Water Breathing to the extreme and created a new form of Water Breathing. At first, his strength was not very impressive, and he even let go of ghosts, which caused his strength to stagnate for a long time.
But after carrying out a mission together with Xuantu, during the period when Xuantu returned from being injured, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, as if the shackles had been unlocked.
Until the end, without realizing it, his strength had reached the threshold of a pillar, and was even at a higher level.
And now, we are at the critical point of breakthrough.
After the last Nine Pillars meeting, during the training session, Giyuu did not practice as many sparring sessions with the other pillars as he did with the other pillars, except for a simulated sparring session with Tsugikoku Yoriichi.
When one reaches the pillar level, the training of the physical body and swordsmanship has reached its peak, and it is difficult to move forward.
So there is only one way to go, which is to open the markings. But during that period of time, perhaps because of Mo Yunchuan's matter, Yiyong seemed to exclude everyone, especially Jiguo Yunyi.
One of the conditions for activating the markings is resonance, which requires repeated contact with people who have the markings. The strength will gradually increase. After reaching a limit, the strength of the markings will increase greatly.
Therefore, Giyuu almost stayed in the same place during that period of time, while the other pillars gradually became stronger overall because of their repeated sparring with Tsugakuin Yoichi.
But even so, Yiyong still went his own way.
Perhaps even he himself did not understand why he rejected Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
But now, his irregular breathing, his pounding heart, and the feeling that his body temperature was as if in a furnace made him figure it out.
The reason why he rejected Jigoku Yoriichi was because he was jealous of him from deep inside, jealous that he could be close to his brother (Mo Yunchuan). He was also angry that he knew his true identity was the Ghost King, but why didn't he tell him...
That's all. It's so simple, but it became a knot in my heart, causing me to hate Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Now it seems... he is the one with the most difficulties. After all, no one could have imagined that the trend would develop in this way.
Until this moment, Yiyong's disordered breathing has resumed, but the emotions of anger and excitement still remain. At the same time, he also feels the increase in his own strength. This feeling makes Yiyong certain that the pattern has been activated.
The mark appeared on Yiyong's left cheek, and the azure blue mark spread across his cheek like flowing water!
A feeling of melancholy appeared in my heart, which was incompatible with the feeling of strength in my whole body. It was as if I was traveling in the sky and returned to the beginning...
But things went against our wishes. The road to the future has already appeared. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, we have to move forward.
However... in Yiyong's heart, the promise of protection in the spider mountain has extended a path on this road.
It is an extremely dangerous road, a road that is condemned by everyone, and even the outcome is unknown.
Yiyong embarked on that road without hesitation, and had no regrets even if he died.
"From now on, risk your life." Yiyong said calmly, but his eyes were full of determination.
After a while, they arrived in front of Akaza, which was in ruins.
At this moment, he has partially regenerated his head, and the mouth and nose have appeared. He is muttering to himself something that you don't understand.
The direction they were heading towards was exactly the direction where Tanjiro was escaping with the seriously injured Kyojuro.
The moment Giyuu appeared, Akaza's domain sorcerer's compass began to tremble, leading Akaza towards the direction where the fighting spirit was the strongest.
The moment the compass needle reacted, Akaza's body leaned forward slightly, he clenched his fists, azure light wrapped around his arms, and he instantly swung out a six-consecutive heavy blow.
Looking at Akaza's moves, Giyuu's eyes were filled with disbelief, but he was not amazed at Akaza's strength, but the scene he saw was too amazing.
Giyuu had already felt Akaza's power dozens of minutes ago. His strength, speed, and moves that were full of destructive power and whose speed was hard to tell, were like a mountain that was difficult to shake.
But now, the fist wind coming towards the front is no longer dangerous in his eyes after he has activated the stripes, and it is like a breeze.
Yiyong raised his hand and swung the Sun Blade to defeat the fist wind. The accompanying strong wind blew in his face, stirring the calm surface of Yiyong's heart, causing ripples. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, and his eyes radiated brilliance at this moment.
"ha..."
It was a calm and deep smile.
