Chapter 365 Arriving in Time
He was going to die, this was the thought in Inosuke's mind at the time.
Then, only a flash of fire was seen in the dark woods, followed by an extremely clear sound of metal collision.
"The breath of fire, the second shape, the rising sky of fire!"
At the critical moment, Flame Pillar Purgatory Anjuro arrived in time and blocked the fatal blow for Inosuke.
It's just that Purgatory Anjuro's challenge did not push away one of the ghost swords. Instead, the two swords collided together and wiped out a large number of sparks. The sparks were flying with the violent fluctuations in the surrounding air.
"Don't get out of the way! You pig head!" Purgatory Xingjuro struggled to resist one of the swordsmen. Purgatory Xingjuro knew that if the confrontation continued like this, his sword would probably be released.
Inosuke reacted after being yelled at by Purgatory Anjuro and quickly stepped aside.
After Inosuke dodged, Purgatory Anjuro took the initiative to withdraw his attack, and then used the tilt of the blade during the withdrawal to change the attack direction of one of the upper strings. The ghost sword that was being wound up slid past the blade of Purgatory Anjuro's Nichirin Sword, once again bringing up a large number of sparks, and then struck the ground at Infernal Anjuro's feet.
Purgatory Anjuro immediately took this opportunity to retreat to where Inosuke was. At this time, Purgatory Anjuro's face was extremely solemn, with a hint of horror in his eyes.
"Jigoku Iwakatsu-senpai!!" Purgatory Anjuro exclaimed to one of the upper strings in front of him.
Inosuke saw Purgatory Anjuro calling out the name of one of the upper strings, so he asked him: "Your friend?"
Purgatory Anjuro shook his head and did not want any explanation to Inosuke. He just said: "I will explain this to you later when I have the opportunity. Now is not the time to talk about it!"
At this time, the five members of {Zangetsu}'s second team had also arrived, and then stood in a row with Purgatory Anjuro and Inosuke.
"Get out of here quickly and tell Bai Yu and the others to retreat!" At this moment, Purgatory Anjuro ordered Inosuke and others to leave quickly.
Because, facing one of the top strings, Purgatory Anjuro really has no confidence in winning. Even if he can win 50-50 in the early stage, but later on, as one of the top strings of the Twelve Ghost Moons, he is more powerful than a human body. The ghost body has a better chance of winning.
Because {ghost} will not feel any fatigue, as long as it is not beheaded, no matter how serious the injury is, it will not have any impact on it. On the other hand, if Purgatory Anjuro is even slightly injured during the battle, the battle will collapse in an instant.
Therefore, this is the reason why Purgatory Anjuro feels that he has little chance of winning. If one of the upper strings can be easily defeated, then it is not one of the upper strings.
Even if the Purgatory Anjuro people have an advantage, the strength of Inosuke, Hattori Kujo and others is really not good enough. If they face one of the upper strings, they will be killed instantly.
Inosuke's encounter just now is a good example. If Purgatory Anjuro hadn't followed and blocked the attack of one of the upper strings in time, Inosuke would have been killed long ago, and there would be no possibility of fighting back.
"Why?!" Hattori Kujo didn't feel the danger of one of the upper strings, so he asked in confusion.
In Hattori Kujo's view, since Hashira was present, his life was definitely not in danger.
