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

Akaza's golden eyes reflected the intertwined figures of the two, as well as the raging flames on the blade.

"Ouch!!!" Akaza's eyes widened in fury, and the thick veins on his arms bulged as he tried to pry open Ikuko's blade.

That guy has incredible strength.

Yu Zi's eyes were downcast, and her arms trembled violently.

Her weakness in strength did not disappear after she activated her Demon Slayer Mark. Just like Shinobu Kocho, even after activating her Demon Slayer Mark, she never thought of changing her Nichirin Blade. Strength is only relative.

Even if Shinobu Kocho awakens her Demon Slayer Mark, she is still no match for Mitsuri Kanroji in terms of power.

The same applies to Ikuko; Akaza, being the Upper Moon Three, is the so-called "Fighting Demon."

His physical strength is not low; at least... Yuuko, who hasn't turned into a demon, is no match for him.

As the blade slowly left Akaza's neck, a glint of light flashed in Ikuko's crimson eyes, turning golden.

Fine blue veins were visible on her fair skin.

"How dare you!!!" Akaza roared, his arm suddenly loosened its grip, and he stomped his foot on the ground.

Yuko's all-seeing aura was always open, and she had long been on guard against his actions.

They had already responded when they saw changes in his muscles and blood flow.

Yuko lifted her foot and kicked Akaza's calf, breaking it.

Accompanied by Akaza's body becoming unbalanced...

Swish! ! !

Two brilliant flashes of fire streaked past, and Akaza's head, completely powerless to resist, flew high into the air once again.

His face still showed resentment and anger.

As the two figures flashed by, Kyojuro Rengoku quickly turned around and shouted, "Don't let your guard down! Tanjiro!"

"I know!"

Tanjiro's footsteps left a long trail on the ground as he steadied himself and twisted around.

As expected, even without his head, Akaza's body did not collapse.

Instead, it attacked Yuko with even more vigor.

A body without a head is ultimately no longer as powerful as it was in its prime. Akaza's body moved like a headless fly, wildly swinging its fists.

Yuko was forced back by his mad dog punches, and then swung her knife in a backhand strike.

"Snow Breathing - Land Form - Snowflakes Falling for Thousands of Miles".

Several massive, snow-white slashes hurtled towards Akaza's body from every angle.

Akaza reacted quickly to dodge or block, but due to a lack of visual guidance, he had an arm and a leg severed by Ikuko's slash.

Taking advantage of Akaza's regeneration, the two of them arrived behind Akaza and, working together perfectly, pinned him down from the left and right.

Kyojuro Rengoku, pinning down Akaza's upper body, shouted, "We need to keep him pinned to the ground; the sun will be rising soon!"

"I know!" Tanjiro's forehead was covered in sweat as he pressed down with all his weight.

This guy……

What a strength!

Neither of them could completely suppress it.

Akaza, who overheard their conversation, looked up at the horizon in alarm. Just as they had said, the sun was about to rise.

Akaza's head seemed still connected to its brain, roaring and struggling.

That sudden force almost knocked the two of them over.

"oh!……"

Akaza's roar abruptly ceased as a black dagger mercilessly plunged into his skull.

Yuko shoved his head into the ground and turned the hilt of her knife with a blank expression.

Akaza was genuinely shocked and panicked at this moment, his eyes wide with fury as he glared at Ikuko: "You bastard..."

How could he just die here like this!

Doesn't that just mean he's a weakling?!

He needs to become even more...

Whoosh whoosh! !

The flashes of light from the blade were scattered everywhere, and Akaza's head was instantly torn to pieces.

Yuko glanced to the side and saw that the body, which was being suppressed by Tanjiro and Rengoku Kyojuro, was still struggling and trying to get up.

At the headless neck, the flesh was writhing rapidly, and within a few breaths, a hideous head sprouted.

Tanjiro and Kyojuro both watched this scene in shock.

Yu Zidu couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly.

This is troublesome.

Even if the head can't be reattached, it can grow back.

She originally thought that immortality after decapitation was only the exclusive domain of the Demon King, but she never expected that even the so-called Upper Moon Three could break through the limits of demons and successfully overcome the weakness of decapitation by Nichirin Blade.

If even Upper Moon Three could do that...

What about the first two?

Especially her jealous older brother...

To be honest, while Yu Zi might not be afraid of him, she wasn't entirely confident that she could suppress him completely.

Yuko knew Kokushibo's strength all too well. The reason he was inferior to Yoriichi was not because he lacked talent, but because Yoriichi's talent was too strong.

Kokushibo's ability to develop Moon Breathing is already a talent that is unique among Yoriichi's.

A ray of sunlight poured down from the sky and fell on Akaza's body.

Akaza, feeling the burns on his body, writhed even more violently, and with a strong will to survive, he even knocked Tanjiro and the other man off the stage.

"not good!"

The two quickly got up and chased after Akaza.

Akaza, now only half its original size, with just one eye, stared in terror at the horizon, its feet pounding as it ran relentlessly toward the forest.

We must escape to a shadowy place immediately!

Yu Zi took a deep breath; the other person's will to survive had reached its peak.

Unfortunately, just as ghosts never show mercy to humans.

Humans do not feel sympathy for ghosts.

Yuko stepped forward, ruthlessly cutting off his last chance to live.

Akaza saw Ikuko blocking his way again, and the anger in his eyes almost materialized.

A blue light flowed across his body, clearly indicating that he was about to fight to the death.

Yuko gripped the hilt of the knife with her right hand, her gaze calmly fixed on him.

Akaza's body trembled, just like that...

He's in the exact same pose as that guy!

Akaza gritted his teeth, his muscles tensed, and he suddenly unleashed his power once he was within attack range.

"Destruction Kill·Final Style·Green Silver Chaotic Afterglow!"

Centered on Akaza, hundreds of blue missiles, like shooting stars, burst forth in an instant.

So fast that Tanjiro and Kyojuro behind them could only see the constantly flashing light.

Even they will be affected.

The two men stopped instantly and assumed defensive stances.

"call……"

Yuko wiped the blade she had drawn with her right hand across her left palm, and the blood spread like a virus until it stained the entire blade red.

Yu Zi exhaled a purple breath, her golden eyes narrowed slightly, and she took a half step forward, completely changing her sword-holding posture. She gripped the hilt with both hands and placed it beside her face, displaying an extremely exaggerated pose.

"Snow Breathing - Pick-up Form - Shining Moon Under the Snow".

Then...

A blood moon rose from the earth's surface.
