The gap in strength between the two sides is simply too great.
Even though he had never practiced breathing techniques, he could tell that such strikes were not needed. Just one or two more strikes would kill one of the four men, or even wipe them out.
This made him silently pray in his heart that Kitagawa Yu could arrive quickly.
"Huh? Another wish? From Kagaya Ubuyashiki? That's quite an unexpected surprise."
On the other side, Kitagawa Yu, who had already fully armed and prepared to set off with Elena after receiving Ubuyashiki Amane's prayer, received another prayer from Ubuyashiki Kagaya. He was somewhat speechless, but also realized the danger of the situation.
"This time, your opponent is Kokushibo. He is stronger than all four of them, including Doma, combined the other day. After you are teleported there, you should take off immediately and fly to a height of at least 100 meters."
"I see."
Elena agreed very seriously, without being careless in the slightest because of her easy victory last time.
With a thought in mind, Kitagawa Yu chose Ubuyashiki Amane as his target and teleported there with Elena.
At the same time, Kokushibo's third move was also launched. The massive blade energy unleashed by the Eighth Form: Moon Dragon Tail was like a giant axe that could split the heavens and the earth, slashing towards Giyu Tomioka and the others.
This attack was far more powerful and faster than the previous two strikes, and logically, the four injured people should have had almost no chance of dodging it.
But just then, in Kokushibo's already activated senses, two powerful auras, so strong that they startled him, suddenly appeared out of thin air, and were only about forty meters away.
This sudden mental shock caused a flaw to appear in his otherwise perfect move.
Breath of Flame: Fourth Form: The Winding Stream of Blazing Flame!
Breath of the Wind, Form 5, Cold Autumn Mountain Breeze!
Sound Breathing - Fourth Form - Resounding Slash!
Kyojuro Rengoku and his two companions quickly unleashed their full power, using their sword skills in coordination with Giyu Tomioka's Nagi, to both defend and dodge.
Even so, they paid an extremely heavy price to barely survive.
Giyu Tomioka, who had taken the most damage while standing at the forefront, suffered a huge, bloody wound and was sent flying backward, his fate unknown.
Next up was Kyojuro Rengoku, whose right arm was severed by the sword energy. Although he survived, he would never be able to pick up a sword again.
The remaining Uzui Tengen and Shinazugawa Sanemi were positioned a little further away and were in slightly better condition, but their hands were still lacerated. The scattered aftershocks of the sword energy were like shrapnel flying from a grenade explosion, cutting small wounds on their bodies and turning them into two bloody figures.
Clearly, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's estimate was too optimistic.
With just three moves, Kokushibo easily defeated the combined forces of the four Pillars, leaving them with no choice but to await their fate.
Fortunately, Kokushibo's attention was already drawn to Kitagawa Yu and Elena, who had been teleported over.
"What a peculiar power! Could this person be the sorcerer who cursed Muzan?"
Kokushibo immediately sensed the magical fluctuations emanating from Elena, and this unprecedented power immediately gave him some clues.
Before he could even decide whether to let Tomioka Giyuu and the other three go and go directly to Kitagawa Yu and Elena, a look of astonishment clearly appeared in his six eyes.
Because in his perception, Elena's aura was rapidly flying upwards into the sky, and she showed no sign of coming down!
"hiss--"
"This sorcerer can curse and teleport, fine, but he can even fly?!"
As we all know, teleportation and flight are two different things.
Of all the demons he knew, only Hantengu's Sora Kiyoshi clone possessed the ability to fly, and even though he was more than ten times stronger than Hantengu, he could only fight on the ground.
It would be quite disadvantageous to face an enemy that can fly.
Kokushibo was arrogant, not conceited. Realizing something was wrong, he immediately abandoned his attempt to finish off Giyu Tomioka and the other three, and rushed over as fast as he could to stop Elena from taking off.
The two sides were only about forty meters apart, and even with the buildings blocking their way, it would only take Kokushibo a little over a second at most.
In fact, Kokushibo had already made his move when the distance was reduced to about twenty meters.
This time, he started with the 14th form of Moon Breathing: Ferocious Transformation: Full Moon, using overlapping vortex-shaped slashes to create a huge tornado of sword energy, which was about to slash towards Elena.
However, at that moment, an unprecedented and intense crisis pierced his heart like a steel needle, causing his pupils to shrink involuntarily and alarm bells to ring in his mind.
Without time to think, Kokushibo instinctively changed the direction of his sword aura, turned around and swept it horizontally. The huge sword aura tornado was like the arm of a giant, directly tearing all the buildings along the way into pieces.
However, Kokushibo did not relax; instead, his expression became even more serious.
Because he knew that the opponent who had brought him the pressure of death had not been hit by his move, and the lingering golden light in his vision made him realize the breathing technique his opponent was using.
"Breathing of Thunder?"
"What the hell!"
"How could any human possibly have mastered the Breathing of Lightning to this level?!"
"Is that person a monster?!"
As the brother of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the founder of breathing techniques, and also the strongest swordsman in hundreds of years since Yoriichi's death, he naturally had a deep understanding of other breathing techniques as well.
While Thunder Breathing boasts the fastest speed and strongest explosive power of all breathing techniques, its effectiveness depends on who is using it.
In any case, he has seen countless Roaring Pillars over the past few hundred years, but no one has ever possessed such astonishing speed.
However, the Breath of Thunder also has its weaknesses.
That means it only attacks and never defends, without any defensive sword techniques.
and so--
"Ding!"
Having pushed his senses to the limit, Kokushibo felt a sudden, sharp pain in the back of his neck, and his neck was instantly sliced open to one-third of its length. He immediately activated his long-planned Fifth Form: Moonlit Calamity Vortex.
This move can be activated without swinging the sword. Although it is not the most lethal, it is the fastest move to be activated in Moon Breathing. Moreover, the area covered by the countless moon wheel sword energy released from the user is also extremely large. If he just slightly blocks Kitagawa Yu's Nichirin Blade with his neck muscles for a moment, he can take the opportunity to seriously injure Kitagawa Yu, or even kill him directly.
It must be said that Kokushibo's plan was indeed very well executed.
However, he misjudged one thing: Kitagawa Yuuka wasn't a traditional swordsman. Her sword got stuck? She could just discard it!
With a flash of golden light, Kitagawa Yu had already escaped far from the attack range of the Moon Soul Calamity Vortex, and incidentally went to where Rengoku Kyojuro's severed arm had fallen, picking up his Nichirin Blade.
"."
This move completely stunned Kokushibo.
How could a swordsman abandon his sword? That's ridiculous!
Kitagawa Yu, on the other hand, looked increasingly relaxed, and even a faint smile appeared on his lips. This was because Elena had taken advantage of the time to rise to a height of more than fifty meters, a height from which even Kokushibo could not attack her.
"Come again!"
Kitagawa Yu looked at Kokushibo.
Their gazes met in mid-air, seemingly sparking a fierce exchange.
The next second, the Nichirin Blade that was stuck in Kokushibo's neck was ejected by his self-healing muscles.
Both sides made another move simultaneously.
Moon Breathing - Second Form - Pearl Moon Dance!
Thunder Breathing, Fifth Form: Heat Realm Thunder!
This time, Kokushibo did not use his ultimate move right away. Although the ultimate move was more powerful, it was inevitably slower.
The opponent is Kitagawa Yu, who practices Thunder Breathing. If we are even a little slower, it will put us at a significant disadvantage.
Therefore, Kokushibo chose to start with a wide-range slash that, while not very powerful, was extremely fast.
Having witnessed Kokushibo's defensive prowess and being wary of his Moonlit Vortex attack, Kitagawa Yu abandoned the close-range Thunder Flash attack and opted for the safest long-range slash.
In the clash between the golden lightning and the chilling moon, the golden lightning gained the upper hand.
When Kokushibo prepares to follow up with the Mirror of Calamity: Moon Reflection and Moon Dragon Tail as a follow-up combo, Kitagawa Yu will decisively dodge the attack with Thunder Flash.
So, since Kitagawa Yu didn't want to fight to the death, Kokushibo really had no way to deal with him, and the two sides remained deadlocked.
"What is this guy trying to do? Human endurance is far inferior to that of demons, and he is using the most energy-consuming and physically demanding Thunder Breathing technique—" Kokushibo was very puzzled.
However, he suddenly remembered Elena and immediately looked up during the gap in his attack.
Elena had already taken advantage of the moment when the two sides were fighting to rise to a height of 100 meters and stopped. With a wave of her wand, a huge bronze mirror with a diameter of two meters and an extremely shiny surface appeared out of thin air in front of her.
This suddenly gave Kokushibo a very ominous sense of crisis.
What is she trying to do?
The thought had barely formed in his mind when the answer was already right before his eyes.
"The solar disk!"
With a tap of Irena's wand, the bronze mirror instantly emitted a blinding white light, turning an area of several hundred meters in radius into daylight.
The sudden, excruciating pain caused Kokushibo to involuntarily groan, and his body rapidly decomposed under the scorching sunlight, with black smoke billowing from his entire body.
"Sunlight?!"
Now Kokushibo finally understood why Kitagawa Yu was stalling for time despite being physically weaker than him.
Even with Muzan's regenerative abilities, he couldn't withstand the scorching sunlight, let alone him.
Seeing that he couldn't shatter the bronze mirror that emitted sunlight, Kokushibo immediately chose to retreat. Kitagawa Yu and Elaina, of course, wouldn't let him leave so easily.
While riding her magic broom and manipulating the bronze mirror, Elena unleashed a barrage of spells—slowing, gravity, and binding—all aimed at Kokushibo.
At the same time, Kitagawa Yuya activated Thunder Flash and once again circled behind Kokushibo.
However, just as Kokushibo was unaware of Elaina's information and was tricked, Kitagawa Yu and Elaina were also unaware that Muzan had painfully decided to commit suicide, driving Kokushibo to the brink of despair.
Faced with the dilemma of dying whether he ran away or not, Kokushibo chose to die like a swordsman.
Just as Kitagawa Yu was about to unleash a slash from behind, Kokushibo also plunged the Hollow Crying God into his own body.
In the next instant, countless sharp blades pierced out from Kokushibo's body, shooting out in all directions at a speed faster than bullets.
At the same time, each blade unleashed slashes in all directions, and the overwhelming moon blades, centered on him, instantly enveloped everything within a radius of fifty meters.
