After leaving the basin (the base camp of [Su Ying] is a basin terrain), Kokushibo decided to continue pursuing his own martial arts.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, the strength of the civilian samurai is not as strong as the A-class members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Since he was already a demon, it was no longer convenient for him to join the Demon Slayer Corps? In the end, he decided to find a cave to practice his swordsmanship.

After walking for who knows how many mountains, he finally stopped with satisfaction.

The mountain in front of him was covered with trees, and the location on the mountainside was also suitable for digging holes. More importantly, there were few people around, which was very suitable for his practice.

Breath of the Moon? Form Five? Moon Spirit Disaster Vortex

It was originally a defensive move, but now it is used by Kokushibo to dig holes.

A powerful force burst out from Kokushibo's body. He raised the sword in his hand high and quickly spun towards the mountain wall in front of him with himself as the center.

There was a loud "bang", and the stone wall trembled slightly at first, followed by a deafening roar, with broken stones flying everywhere and dust filling the sky.

The roar caused the pale yellow leaves around to rustle, and the autumn leaves on the ground swayed in the air before slowly falling down after a long time.

When the dust settled, a cave was formed with jagged edges revealing rough rock texture.

After Kokushibo walked into the cave, he made another move to expand the inside, making the cave deeper and wider.

This way, it will be difficult for sunlight to get in, and there will be more space to practice your moves.

In this way, he stayed here for the following days to hone his sword skills and named his subsequent moves.

until……

The winter wind was howling. There were only two houses standing on the mountain, with thick snow hanging on the roofs. It was a rare sunny day.

On Mount Kumotorii, Tanji's family and Shi waved to Yunyi, "Go quickly and come back soon!"

Everyone's faces were flushed, but they still bid farewell to Yunyi enthusiastically.

In winter, many animals in the mountains hibernate, resulting in insufficient food for the two families. Now Yunyi is planning to go out hunting animals.

Carrying the bamboo basket on his back and preparing to set off, Yoriichi touched the knife hanging on his waist. Since he had already quit the Demon Slayer Corps, he returned the Nichirin Sword to them.

If you look closely, you can see a brocade bag hanging on the other side of the waist, and you can vaguely see that there is a long object inside.

The sun shines on the snow in the mountains and the cold wind blows through the branches, making a slight sound.

Yuichiro drove the Transparent World around and searched around, only to find a rabbit that was out looking for food. As it was still early, he decided to look somewhere farther away.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he arrived at another nearby mountain.

There are more small animals on this mountain than on Mount Yunqu. When he had hunted enough prey and was ready to return, he noticed a cave.

It is a cave large enough to accommodate a black bear.

Is it a bear cave? If we kill this bear, we won't have to go out this winter.

Having made up his mind, he placed the bamboo basket at the entrance of the cave and slowly walked inside.

Of course, he still had the world-transparent one on.

When he got closer, he saw a figure with a body structure completely different from that of an ordinary person.

It's a ghost!

I can't kill him without the Nichirin Sword, so I just need to beat him until his body can't recover and then drag him outside.

On the opposite side, Kokushibo had already noticed the person coming. He turned his head sharply and saw the biggest shadow of his life.

Yuanyi?

elder brother?

The two looked at each other blankly, not expecting to see each other here.

I don’t know if it was a trick of fate, but perhaps they were destined to have a fateful showdown, a showdown that was delayed for more than 20 years.

Yunyi was at a loss and asked in surprise: "Brother, how did you become a ghost?"

It was a little hard to believe, "Why would my most beloved brother become a ghost?"

"You were forced, right?" Yuichirō clenched his teeth, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Kokushibo looked at him coldly, "No, I volunteered. I just can't stand you. I'm jealous of you."

"So, I accepted the ghost king's blood and became a ghost."

"It turns out that this was a wise choice. I have become stronger than before. I am really curious, who is stronger now, you or me?"

His tone suddenly became serious, "Yuichi, let's have a samurai duel! I will prove that I am the strongest samurai!"

After saying that, he immediately drew out the knife formed by blood magic at his waist and pointed it at the opposite side.

"Draw your sword!"

Yunyi knew that the battle was inevitable. Although he didn't want to draw his sword against his brother, he couldn't refuse.

"excuse me!"

The collision of the swords of both sides made "ding" and "zi" sounds. Neither of them was willing to give in. In the end, Kokushibo could not hold on any longer and quickly retreated to the rear.

After calming down for a moment, Kokushibo spread his legs, lowered his center of gravity, held the knife in both hands at his sides, took a quick step forward, and launched a series of slashes.

Breath of the Moon? Type Three? Disgusting Moon·Eclipse

The sharp blade energy with a small crescent shape flew towards Yuanyi at a high speed. Yuanyi reacted quickly, dodged to the side, and suddenly jumped up and hung in the air.

Sun Breathing? Pick Up Type? Brilliant Enlight

A spiral slash was launched downward from a high altitude. Although the Sun Sword was gone, the sword still had a hint of heat due to Yoriichi's quick attack.

"Brother, look at you now, how ugly and pathetic you are."

The knife light quickly attacked the figure below, and Kokushibo quickly raised his sword to block it.

The two knives collided, sending out a string of sparks and making clanging sounds.

"You don't need to teach me!"

How could this be? Why can’t I beat him even after becoming a ghost? Why!

Breath of the Moon? Seventh Form? Evil Mirror: Moon Reflection

The knife in his hand suddenly became longer and bigger, releasing sword energy towards Yuichiro. Yuichiro, who lost the opportunity for close combat, had no choice but to retreat.

He still held back. If he had used his strongest attack at the beginning, Kokushibo would definitely not be able to resist.

Even if ghosts have the ability to regenerate, he doesn't want to see his brother being beheaded by himself.

"Are you pitying me?! This is not your strength, use your full strength to attack!"

"Brother, I'm sorry, then it's as you wish."

The first time this move was used was when he beat Muzan half to death, but he didn't expect that the second time he used this move was against his own brother.

Breath of the Sun? Type Thirteen

Yoriichi adjusted the angle and used all the attacks from the first to the twelfth style of Sun Breathing in succession towards Kokushibo.

At the beginning, Kokushibo could still deal with Yoriichi's attacks, but as his attack frequency became faster and faster, he gradually became passive.

In the end, Yoriichi ended the battle with Flame Dance.

"boom"

Kokushibo looked at the body that was separated from his head, and finally closed his eyes with relief.

In the end, I still couldn't defeat him. It's so disgusting. I hate my own weakness and I hate him for being so talented.

But he will not give up, he will have endless life to pursue the highest and the strongest.

And you, Yunyi, who have opened the markings, are destined to not live past the age of twenty-five.

In the end I won.

"Brother..."

In the end, Yunyi didn't say anything, but just looked at him with a sad expression, with tears in his eyes.

Before Kokushibo's head grew back, he left the cave. From behind, he looked so depressed.

Kokushibo, who had grown a new head, stared blankly at the mess in the cave.

In this way, Yunyi, with a heavy heart, carried the prey he had caught today and walked towards Mount Kumotori.

"Brother, I fulfilled my wish, but why are you not happy? Is it all because of Yunyi?"

Yunyi looked at the children laughing and playing in front of the house, his eyes lost, staring blankly in the direction of the opposite mountain.

So... you have always hated me so much that you are willing to turn into a ghost?
