Chapter 2322: Stripes
The Swordsmith Village was in a mess. Upper Rank Four focused on the center of the village to capture the village chief, while Upper Rank Five went to the edge to look for the treasure.
Tanjiro and Nezuko were also separated and had to face enemies that were twice their number. There were four Tengu in total, and the two siblings each faced two, which was very stressful.
Duran watched the battle and said, "These four Tengu can actually kill the opponent, because they all attack from a distance, and Tanjiro and Nezuko don't have enough long-range moves."
Tsukuni Yoriichi nodded involuntarily: "The most difficult thing about blood demon arts is indeed long-range attacks. As long as the demon attacks outside the attack range of the sword, the demon hunter is in danger."
The four Tengu all have long-range and range attacks, so Tanjiro had to hide in the woods under the cover of a big tree. However, the big tree couldn't stop the Tengu's attack, and the century-old tree couldn't withstand a single move.
"I'll go." Tsukuni Yoriichi said that he would help the descendants of his former friend.
Duran watched Tsukuni Yoriichi walk down the mountain with steady steps, thinking, should I help the descendants of my friend instead of my brother's descendants? The ghost hunters in both battlefields of this battle have a connection with Yoriichi Tsugokuni.
The Mist Pillar Tokito Muichiro has a blood relationship with Yoriichi Tsugokuni. He is the descendant of Yoriichi Tsugokuni's brother, but his family has fallen. Now he is alone and has incomplete memories. He is just an ordinary genius.
Tokito Muichiro can't get support, so he has to deal with the pot ghost by himself.
At first, Tokito Muichiro seemed to have no spirit. Because of his incomplete memory, he didn't have a strong motivation to fight and was suppressed by the pot ghost.
There was a small workshop on the battlefield, and the sound of sharpening a knife came from it.
Although the explosion and shattering of the battle were very noisy, the sound of sharpening the knife was unshakable, just a little bit of rhythmic sound, not affected by any external objects.
At this moment, the swordsmith had only one goal, which was to reproduce the light of the Warring States sword.
It turned out that the sword taken out of the mechanical man was sent to Tanjiro's swordsmith by the child, and he sharpened it.
Upper Rank 5 was also attracted by the sound of sharpening the knife, and found that the swordsmith was now concentrating and would not stop even if he was injured.
"Such concentration, I didn't expect that a mere human could have such a skill." The demon also admired the swordsmith, but humans and demons cannot coexist, and Upper Rank Five likes to bully people the most.
What others want to do, Upper Rank Five just wants to stop them.
"Go to hell." He was about to demolish the house.
At this time, Tokito Muichiro was in a critical situation. Not only was he poisoned, but he was also locked in a water prison controlled by the pot demon, and he was about to drown.
Between life and death, life is reviewed like a revolving lantern, and things that have been forgotten have also emerged clearly.
It turns out that Tokito Muichiro was not alone at the beginning. He also had a relative, a twin brother who looked exactly the same. Because the family fell into decline, the two brothers had no livelihood and lived by selling firewood. Until one day, the wife of the master found them and hoped that they would join the Demon Slayer Corps, because they brothers have the blood of samurai, they are natural swordsmen with excellent qualifications.
Unfortunately, the elder brother refused. He just wanted to live an ordinary life with his younger brother and didn't want to fight and kill.
The following plot is familiar. They are unwilling to join, and the demon will help them to strengthen their determination. The two brothers were attacked by ghosts, the elder brother died tragically, and the younger brother was seriously injured and waiting to die.
For several days, the younger brother was alive but could not move, so he lay with his brother's body until his brother was smelly and he was dying. Fortunately, the wife of the master had the spirit of three visits to the thatched cottage, and invited the two brothers to come out of the mountain again, which happened to save Tokito Muichiro.
Although the wound was healed, his memory was incomplete from then on, and he couldn't even remember his brother. Now he remembered, his brother told him to be a firewood boy with peace of mind, and not to dream of being a samurai. They just wanted to be safe and sound.
It's a pity that the brother who longed for peace died. Who doesn't want peace? But as long as there are ghosts, peace will be broken, and kind people will continue to be killed.
At this time, Tokito Muichiro opened his eyes and saw a child outside the water prison trying to destroy the water prison.
Unexpectedly, there were still people who cared about him. When Tokito Muichiro recalled everything, he was almost unable to breathe, but he was still ready to swing his sword.
Becoming a pillar at the age of fourteen, Tokito Muichiro has the blood of a genius.
"The prestige index has increased?" Just when the pot ghost was having fun with the swordsmith, he suddenly found that the enemy's prestige index had increased, directly to two hundred: "How is it possible? He is obviously just a child?!"
However, no one said that a child cannot kill a ghost over a hundred years old.
Tsugokuni Yuichi, who was stepping into the battlefield, felt the breath in the distance and showed a gratified look: "It's worthy of being my brother's descendant." As expected, there is no need for my help. My brother's descendants have their own way out.
Although Tsugokuni Yuichi's talent crushed his brother, causing his brother to live in the shadow all his life, it was because his brother couldn't think of comparing with Tsugokuni Yuichi, a plug-in. Obviously, there would be no problem if he didn't compare. In the eyes of others, Tsugokuni Yuichi and his brother are actually geniuses, and the brother's talent is not bad. He is definitely only below Tsugokuni Yuichi and is definitely the second in the Warring States period.
Inheriting such a talent, Tokito Muichiro's strength can be imagined. Although he is only 14 years old, he has mastered the full set of Kasumi Breathing.
"It's useless. Your knife can't cut my neck off!" Hugui didn't believe that he would be chopped to death, because his body was full of solid fish scales, and his body had been modified. Not only could he shrink his bones, but he could also harden them. This was his proud ability. After all, he had liked to abuse small animals since he was a child, and liked to splice different animals together for observation. Therefore, he was always hated by other people in the fishing village, but he never tired of it and felt that he was quite artistic.
There were solid scales on his neck. Countless ghost hunters had tried to cut off the neck covered with scales, but the result was obvious. Hugui not only did not die, but continued to upgrade to become an upper-rank five. He was not afraid of the Sun Blade at all.
Unfortunately, Hugui was also careless. He clearly saw that Tokito Muichiro's compulsion index had increased to 200, but he still didn't believe in evil and held a fluke mentality.
Cut.
The haze was filled with mist, and the blade of the Sun Blade disappeared, turning into mist to surround the evil ghost. Then suddenly the mist suddenly solidified into a double slash.
Haze Breathing·Second Form·Yaezae
Poof!
The pot ghost just felt something was wrong, but it was too late to dodge. His pot, his scales, his neck, were all cut off, and blood splattered.
"Impossible!" The pot ghost didn't believe that he would be hacked to death, but the fact was that he was going to die. The last scene in his eyes was the boy with strange stripes on his face. At the moment of life and death, Tokito Muichiro finally crossed the limit and exchanged his combat effectiveness by overdrawing his life.
"He is only 14 years old and can live for 11 years. If a 25-year-old warrior awakens the stripes, will he die immediately? If a 26-year-old awakens the stripes, won't he gain another year?" Duran's little abacus was crackling, thinking that he had lived for so long, if the stripes appeared again, he didn't know if he would owe tens of millions of years.
The stripes that had been lost since the Warring States Period appeared again, which means that other warriors will soon be infected with the stripes. The stripes are like infectious diseases, which will infect people around them unknowingly.
