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

Chapter 360 An Invincible Enemy

When those six glowing eyes looked at her, Shinobu Kocho felt a chill run through her body, as if she were being stared at by some terrifying monster.

The next moment, all the muscles in her body tensed up.

It’s coming!!!

She had a premonition; she had felt this way when she was fighting Yuko.

Tanjiro, through his Clear Vision, noticed Kokushibo's clandestine movements and quickly warned, "Shinobu-san! Watch out!"

The moment he finished speaking, Kokushibo's figure vanished, leaving only a cloud of dust.

"So fast!"

The crowd, who had just relaxed slightly due to the strange atmosphere, immediately tensed up.

The next second, the tall figure appeared in front of Shinobu Kocho and slashed at her without saying a word.

Kokushibo's gaze was coldly fixed on the short woman.

Shinobu's feet felt as if they were filled with cement, her whole body stiff and unable to move.

Kokushibo's aura was too powerful. Under his lock, even Shinobu Kocho, who had considerable resistance to Yuuko's aura, couldn't help but freeze briefly.

Move! Her body!!!

Perhaps sensing danger instinctively, Shinobu Kocho's cheeks showed a butterfly-shaped mark.

Seeing the butterfly pattern appear on Shinobu's cheek, Kokushibo's eyes narrowed slightly.

This woman...

As expected, the markings have been activated.

but……

The improvement of facial markings is based on one's own foundation; the stronger a person is, the greater the improvement in their facial markings.

As for improving physical abilities, this woman's short stature was almost completely inadequate; neither her strength nor anything else could be effectively enhanced.

It could be said that, in terms of swordsmanship talent, this woman was an existence abandoned by heaven.

It is indeed commendable that such a weak creature could become a pillar, but Kokushibo cannot pretend that he did not hear what she just said.

Even if this woman is someone Yuko likes.

Seeing that the knife was about to strike, everyone panicked and hurriedly tried to step forward to break up the fight.

"Tolerate!"

Kanae exclaimed in surprise, raising her Nichirin Blade, a flash of snow-white light.

"Snow Breathing..."

No! It's too late to stop it!

The fear in Kanae's eyes intensified, as if she were about to witness something terrible.

Where are the others?!

In her panic, Kanae didn't stop moving, but instead glanced at the people around her.

Tanjiro and the others all leaned forward, looking nervously at the center of the battlefield.

Too far!

She was the closest to Shinobu, but she didn't have time to make a move!

Too careless!

I never expected them to launch a sudden attack!

In her regret, Kanae only saw Kokushibo's demonic blade falling rapidly.

At that very moment, Kokushibo's eyes narrowed, and the woman in front of him had vanished.

"Ok?"

The next moment, he felt a faint stinging pain in his side waist.

With a stab into Kokushibo's body, Shinobu Kocho didn't dare to linger, drawing her Nichirin Blade and retreating swiftly.

Kokushibo's eyes glanced at his waist, where a crimson stain oozed out.

He was stabbed.

This woman... is incredibly weak physically, but possesses a unique talent for speed.

Among the humans he had fought, this woman's speed was among the top.

The flesh at the site of the not-so-serious wound gradually turned purplish-black.

The knife was poisoned; it was injected when he was stabbed.

Before Kokushibo could analyze the situation, Kanae and the others were relieved when the attack arrived.

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

"Breath of the Sun, First Form, Waltz!"

"Breathing of Mist - Fourth Form - Horizontal Slash!"

"Flower Breathing·Type Five·Fruitless Peony!"

"Beast Breathing - Second Fang - Cleave!"

The combined strength of several pillar-level combatants, especially when the opponent is caught off guard, might be able to launch an effective attack against him.

Tanjiro's eyes showed a hint of excitement.

however.

"Breath of the Moon - Fourteenth Form - Ferocious Change - Full Moon!" Kokushibo suddenly raised his sword, and huge crescent moons intertwined, forming a whirlpool that rippled violently in all directions.

what? !

Tanjiro's eyes shrank to the size of pinpoints, the hairs on his back stood on end, and a chill ran straight to his brain.

I can't answer!

The thought flashed through Tanjiro's mind, and his body reacted subconsciously before the thought could even form. He forcibly changed his move and parried the Nichirin Blade in front of him.

The violent impact struck, like a train crashing head-on. In the midst of the collision, the Nichirin Blade seemed to utter cries of sorrow, as if it could not withstand the force and was about to crack.

The stalemate didn't last long before Tanjiro was sent flying by the impact, his eyes rolling back, his consciousness fading.

"Everyone!"

Shinobu Kocho's expression changed drastically in the distance. She had no time to stop them and could only watch helplessly as everyone was caught up in the attack.

Thanks to Tanjiro's training during this period, he was able to take the lead despite entering the fray later. With his keen combat instincts, he blocked most of the slashes in front of him.

Thanks to him, although the others were also sent flying by this exaggerated slash, with bloodstains appearing on their bodies, they managed to remain conscious.

Kanae knelt on the ground, a long gash cut open on her delicate cheek, blood gushing out. Her butterfly haori was torn to shreds, and her clothes were stained red.

The injuries of the others were similar; except for Shinobu Kocho, who escaped unscathed, everyone else was seriously injured.

Butterfly looked in fear at the figure standing in the center of the battlefield, like a god of war.

too exaggerated!

That was even more exaggerated than Yuko's slash!

That range! Is it really something that humans can withstand?

It's no exaggeration to say that this is Yuko when she gets serious.

In an instant, they were almost wiped out.

Kokushibo took a step forward with a light step.

Shinobu Kocho felt a chill run down her spine and stepped in front of the crowd without hesitation.

"You will die," Kokushibo said calmly, pausing for a moment before continuing on his way.

Is there too little toxin?

Butterfly gazed at the skin and flesh around his waist that had returned to normal.

Shinobu Kocho was not surprised; the blade could only carry a limited amount of toxins, and it was inevitable that it would become ineffective against a demon second only to Muzan.

Kokushibo walked over calmly, as if each step was treading on Shinobu Kocho's heart, making it pound.

Shinobu Kocho sensed an unprecedented crisis, but her facial expression remained unchanged, even showing a slight smile.

"Isn't that what you were trying to do just now..." Before she could finish speaking, a shadow loomed over her.

"A pathetic, weak creature."

With what seemed like a summary of her life, Kokushibo swung his sword down.

The speed has increased again!

The butterfly, sweating profusely, tried its best to turn around, but could only see the falling blade.

Can't escape!

In the final moments of her life, Shinobu Kocho found peace within herself, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.

I can no longer stay with Yuko.
