Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

No wonder, each of the Upper Moons is a freak.

Upper Moon 2 and 3: one likes to eat women, the other doesn't.

You two might be able to improve hunting efficiency quite a bit by hunting together.

Yu Zi raised her eyes slightly, her tone indifferent: "Is that so? Then stand still and let me chop off your head."

It wasn't just about reducing the high-end combat power of the demon faction before the final battle...

Yuko still remembers the girl she met at that martial arts school decades ago...

"Huh?" Akaza was encountering a female swordsman who wanted to cut off his head for the first time, so he couldn't help but take a second look at Yuko.

He didn't feel anything until he looked at him closely, but once he did, he inexplicably felt a little uneasy.

it's wired……

This woman... he feels like he's seen her somewhere before.

Yu Zi's lower half of her face was still wrapped in the white cloth strip, but as everyone knows, apart from having features that are different from others, covering half of the face actually makes it easier for people not to recognize her.

The long, flowing red hair and the half-exposed pattern on the cloth strip gave Akaza a strange sense of familiarity.

But just like sometimes when your brain just doesn't work, you can't remember the name of something you know very well.

Frowning, Akaza decided to stop thinking about it and turned his gaze to Tanjiro.

"Hey kid over there, my name is Akaza."

"?"

Tanjiro subconsciously looked at Ikuko.

Yuko was a little embarrassed: "I wrote it wrong back then..."

Tanjiro: "..."

How can you possibly write something like "chicken coop"? These two things are completely unrelated!

He was still thinking that the name "Upper String" sounded too unimpressive.

Tanjiro mentally cursed, then looked at Akaza with lingering shock. That demon was so fast; he could only catch a glimpse of its form.

If it weren't for Miss Yuko's intervention, he might not have been able to react in time.

Just now, I realized that Miss Yuko and Mr. Rengoku were both faster than him; he was the last to notice them.

He thought to himself, "Just as Miss Yuko said, the Upper Moon... is not even in the same league as the Lower Moon."

You can tell just by looking at the aura; this powerful sense of oppression is almost tangible, making people tremble.

This gave Tanjiro a heads-up: although he had been recognized as a Pillar by his master, there was still a difference in strength among the Pillars.

He had only just learned the basics and possessed the legendary Beginning Breathing technique. With Nezuko's help, he managed to defeat the weakest Lower Moon.

Compared to Mr. Purgatory and his ilk, he is still far behind.

Moreover, this is one of the top three Upper Moons.

According to Ms. Yuko's assessment of the Upper Moons, the top three are not opponents that the Pillars can fight alone.

Fortunately, there were three of them, and both Miss Yuko and Mr. Rengoku were very strong.

Kyojuro Rengoku, sword in hand, said solemnly, "Miss Yuuko, this guy is dangerous."

Do not……

This guy is weak...

The surprise in everyone's hearts was different, unlike Tanjiro and Kyojuro's surprise at Akaza's aura.

Yuko's surprise actually meant the opposite: this guy is weak...

This doesn't mean he's weak; his body is indeed forged through countless trials, his fighting spirit is high, and his aura is sinister and terrifying.

Rather, compared to Yuuko's own standards, this Upper Moon Three falls far short of expectations.

At least, her previous belief that the top three Upper Moons could not be singled out by any single pillar can now be refuted.

Under the gaze of the Transparent Realm, Akaza's physical strength was laid bare in Ikuko's eyes.

For the Fighting Demon, physical strength basically represents its combat strength, unlike a mage like Doma who cannot judge the specific strength through his Blood Demon Art.

In terms of hard requirements.

The Stone Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, that monk with a rare physique, is definitely no weaker than this guy in combat.

The top three on the moon are indeed each in their own rank.

Akaza, who noticed Rengoku Kyojuro's voice, looked surprised: "Oh, you're a Pillar, right? I can tell just by looking. Your fighting spirit has been honed through countless trials and tribulations, and you're already close to the highest level."

Yu Zi took a half step forward, adopting an offensive stance: "If we're talking about fighting spirit, yours isn't bad either."

Akaza frowned: "I've already told you, haven't I? I don't kill or eat women. You can escape now..."

Halfway through his sentence, his golden pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinheads.

Yuko's voice rang in my ears, "Didn't I already say that?"

"In that case, just stand still and don't move."

So fast!

Akaza's calm expression instantly crumbled. He gritted his teeth, quickly turned around, and a look of terror appeared on his face.

Completely different from his relaxed expression just now, Akaza's entire body tensed up, and he finally twisted his body before Ikuko's sword could strike.

As he leaned back, he raised his hands to block his neck.

Swish!

With a single slash, Akaza's arms were completely severed.

Akaza stomped his feet hard, creating a deep crater with a loud thud, and his body instantly retreated.

Yuko casually twirled her sword, cutting through the dust and smoke, giving Akaza no chance to catch her breath, and flashed after him.

Yu Zi exhaled white breath, and her whole body seemed to transform into a ray of white light.

He's no ordinary person!

Akaza, whose arms hadn't even fully regenerated, kicked Ikuko.

"Blood Demon Art: Destruction Strike - Leg Technique: Flowing Light!"

Just as the two were about to meet, the white light seemed to hit a mirror and suddenly refracted and reversed.

"Snow Breathing - Seventh Form - Snow - A Line of Sky!"

"Continuous strike!"

Several snow-white threads stretched across the dark ground, completely surrounding Akaza.

Sweat beaded on Akaza's forehead. The oppressive feeling emanating from Ikuko made him completely oblivious to his own principle of not killing women.

"Blood Demon Art - Destruction Kill - Compass Needle!"

Akaza squatted into a horse stance, and huge snowflakes bloomed from beneath his feet.

Yuko glanced at him briefly but didn't pay him any attention.

As a fighting demon, the Blood Demon Art is inevitably derived from physical attacks.

where is it? !

Akaza looked around nervously, but even with his abilities, he couldn't make out the other person's figure.

and……

Why isn't the compass working?

Akaza's pupils trembled; this woman had absolutely no fighting spirit.

In his panic, suddenly, all the tense cells in his body seemed to freeze, as if his body instinctively knew he was dead and gave up the struggle.

Behind him, a snow-white blade slashed through the air.

"what?!"

Akaza tried to turn around in a desperate struggle, but in that instant he felt a heavy blow to his neck, and the things in front of him changed rapidly.

Wheel...

Akaza's head rolled twice on the ground, his face still showing a look of shock.

He was stabbed?!

He was just chopped down like that...

He hasn't been able to become stronger yet...

He could definitely become even stronger...

Not even having the strength to fight back... isn't that just utter trash?
