Chapter 194 - Opened, but Not Fully Opened

…

Swish——!

The lavender hook swayed on the blade, perfectly drawing an arc in mid-air.

The hooked moon exudes vague fluorescence, making the surroundings feel dimmer.

It instantly spread into a huge moon arc that was enough to reach two sections of the dojo, rippling towards Yuanyi!

sand--!

The dojo's straw mat was suddenly plowed into a ravine, and the originally flat straw mat became frizzy and exploded.

"What is this?!" Jiguo Yansheng looked at the crescent-shaped sword swung from his hand, and was shocked in his heart.

The power in his body surged like a spring, and he didn't even wield the knife with all his strength.

The power that spanned several classes in an instant made it difficult for Jiguo Iwakatsu to adapt to it for a while, but he could not contain the excitement in his heart.

The thing I drank before seems to be working!

Although after drinking it, I have no impression afterward.

At this moment of thinking, Yue Hu, who had never stopped moving forward, was already in front of Yuanyi.

Looking at the lavender crescent moon so close at hand, Yuanyi couldn't help but sigh softly.

"As expected of your elder brother."

Ji Guoyuan stood quietly at the other end of the dojo. He looked at Yan Sheng's stunned expression and Yue Hu, who was plowing open the straw mat and approaching at a very fast speed.

His dark red eyes reflected the faintly glowing arc of the moon less than half a meter away from him, and he nodded proudly:

"...a beautiful slash."

Subsequently.

Click.

The thumb is slightly pressed against the tang of the Nichirin sword at the waist, and the handle is gently held.

He exerted force on his waist, tightened his forearms, and pulled out the Sun Blade in an instant.

"Wow——!" The moment the blade was unsheathed, dazzling flames ignited!

The gorgeous sunfire burst out in an instant, spinning around Jiguoyuan's body instantly!

Click, the blade is sheathed.

In front of him, the moon wheel that was approaching menacingly seemed to have been pressed on the pause button and froze in place.

next moment.

The moon wheel stayed in front of Yuanyi, and slowly turned into lavender particles that dispersed in the wind.

The violent traces left on the ground stopped there, not touching Jiguoyuan at all.

Jiguo Yuanyi didn't look surprised at all. This was just a simple technique to relieve stress.

opposite.

Bang!

The sound of wood hitting the ground.

"Hoo..."

The wooden sword in Tsukuni Iwakatsu's hand dropped unconsciously and fell to the ground. His brows trembled slightly and he looked at Tsukuni Enichi in disbelief.

"…How can it be."

At the moment just now, he only saw Yuanyi's arm being slightly dazed.

With a bright red that is compressed to the extreme and shines.

He couldn't even see the moment when he drew the sword and put it away.

In an instant, huge emotions overwhelmed Tsikuni Iwakatsu.

Obviously... already have such power...

Still, I can’t see how long it will take to catch up...

In his mind, Jiguo Yuanyi stood there and looked back at him slightly, then walked into the unknown light ahead without looking back.

Creak...

His fists clenched unconsciously and became harder and harder.

Jiguo Yansheng looked straight at Yuanyi who was standing on the opposite side and easily defused his attack. The emotional fluctuations in his heart became more and more intense.

It seemed that because the blood composition in his body was different, Yan Sheng became very irritable at this moment.

always like this.

After becoming stronger, he lost to his brother again...

After being proud of his own strength, he was crushed by his younger brother again...

pressed to the ground and trampled on...

always like this!

hateful!

Why! Yuanyi!

Why can you always do things that I can't do easily?

His expression became unnatural, his breathing rhythm became rough, and his body temperature gradually increased.

There is something faintly red appearing on the forehead and collarbone.

The ferocious light red mark, like a ghost's claws, gradually spread.

thump! thump! thump! The heartbeat keeps accelerating!

"Hoo...!!"

Just when Jiguo Yansheng could no longer control the emotions in his heart, his heartbeat rate continued to accelerate uncontrollably.

As soon as Ji Guoyuan came over, he felt something was wrong with Yan Sheng at the moment:

"Brother, are you okay?" Yuanyi's eyes were a little worried, and his brother's heartbeat rate just now even shocked him.

Although his heartbeat rate is sometimes faster than this.

But he is a special case.

Having been with Yu Duo for many years, he knew that it was impossible for ordinary people to have the same heartbeat frequency as him.

——It will be fatal.

Just now, Yuanyi felt the life force condensed and compressed at a rapid speed from his brother Yan Sheng's body.

Although that kind of compressed vitality is shockingly strong, but...

Jiguo Yuanyi had a bad premonition, so he interrupted Yan Sheng.

After Enichi's sudden interruption, Tsukuni Iwakatsu suddenly came back to his senses, and then took a deep breath:

"Hiss——! Huh..."

White high-temperature mist spit out from the corner of his mouth, and a hazy mist appeared faintly on his body.

But the faint reddish marks on the forehead and collarbone are still there.

He raised his head in astonishment and looked at Yuanyi standing in front of him. His mind suddenly felt empty:

"What happened..."

Jiguo Yansheng gasped and slowly straightened his upper body. He felt a little dizzy on the back of his head and his temples were faintly swollen:

"...wait, power..."

Looking at his palms and clenching his fists, Yan Sheng had a look of surprise in his eyes.

——The strength has increased a lot!

As soon as Jiguo Yuan noticed a dim mark similar to his own on Jiguo Yansheng's forehead, he raised his eyes slightly:

"... There was something wrong with my brother's state just now. I'm a little worried."

After hearing this, Jiguo Yansheng closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and then his mood gradually calmed down.

He felt the huge potential in his current self.

Yes, he has just started. If he continues to work hard, he will definitely be able to do it.

He raised his head and looked level with Yuan Yi:

"Yeah, Yui Yi."

"What's wrong, Onii-sama?" Enichi Tsukuni was observing Tsukuni Iwakatsu's body through the transparent world. He looked away, confused.

Jiguo Yansheng pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, calmed his inner emotions, and kept repeating the words "The master is the teacher" in his heart.

Finally, with some difficulty, he asked:

"Breathing...method, what is it?"

"Eh..." Ji Guoyuan was slightly dazed. He looked at his brother in a daze.

When Jiguo Yansheng saw this, the veins on his forehead popped out slightly, and he forced the corner of his mouth:

"What's that expression on your face?"

His tone became very dissatisfied: "Are you looking down on me?"

At this time, Ji Guoyuan came to his senses, and he quickly apologized to Yansheng with an apologetic look:

"Ah, I'm very sorry, brother-sama."

Yuanyi's face showed deep regret:

"It was my mistake...I failed to explain it clearly to my brother beforehand..."

Then, he quickly began to explain as if he were remedial:

"Breathing...means the method of breathing. Special breathing methods are used to enhance the body's ability to absorb oxygen, so that a large amount of compressed oxygen enters the lungs, increases heart rate and body temperature, and strengthens muscles..."

Tsukuni Iwakatsu folded his arms and listened to Tsukuni Enichi's explanation with a serious look on his face.

Then, as he listened, he felt the same sense of confusion that he had when he was a child when he listened to Ji Guoyuan's lecture on "Enlightenment of the World".

He looked confused.

As time passed, Tsukuni Enichi and Iwakatsu sat down face to face and continued to explain the breathing method in depth and mentioned some other things involved.

In the end, Jiguo Enichi's words made Yan Sheng completely confused:

"Brother, I have created and mastered the breathing method."

"Your breathing rhythm now is very different from before."

"Just yesterday, after you drank that bottle of blood."

"What is needed now is to become familiar with breathing techniques and practice swordsmanship."

Saying that, Jiguo Yuan stood up and stretched out his palm towards Jiguo Yansheng:

"Let's go, brother."

"Where to go?" Jiguo Yansheng raised his head and asked.

"The top of Mt. Saagiri."

Ji Guoyuan's tone was calm, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all by Yan Sheng's rapid progress:

"Now, brother, you can only make progress by training with other pillars."

He raised his hand and pointed outside the dojo door to the distant mountain peak shrouded in clouds.

At the same time, there was also some happiness in his tone.

He originally thought that as a brother of the same generation, Yan Sheng, no matter how special or different he was from others, he should be able to learn his own breathing method because he was as close as a brother.

But now it seems that my brother did not choose to learn his own breathing method.

Instead, he created another kind of breathing, which at least now seems to be much stronger than the breathing method he created for other pillars.

"I understand." Tsukuni Iwakatsu followed Enichi's finger and looked at Saagiri Mountain in the distance. He nodded, then stretched out his arms and stood up:

"Let's go."

"Yes." Ji Guoyuan looked at his brother who was getting up, nodded as well, and silently retracted his outstretched hand.

…

On the way, the two brothers exchanged words with each other.

"That's right, brother."

"What's wrong?"

"The pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad all seem to have a name for their breathing techniques."

"It's like the breath of thunder... something like that." Ji Guoyuan looked up at the sky and thought for a while.

He found that he seemed to be able to only remember the name of Shan Cun's breathing method that he shouted "Thunder Breath" every day.

Jiguo Yansheng heard this and crossed his arms with some disdain:

"Hmph, it's unnecessary."

"The pillars also gave my breathing method a name." Yuanyi hesitated for a while and suddenly said: "I think it's pretty good."

"...What?" Yan Sheng became somewhat interested. He looked slightly sideways at Yuanyi, who was walking side by side with him.

"The Breathing of the Sun." Jiguo Yuanyi said flatly: "They said that my breathing method gave them a feeling of warmth like the sun."

"..." Jiguo Yansheng didn't answer. He just lowered his head and was silent for a while.

At the same time, his mind instantly thought of the moon-shaped blade that he struck out.

Sun, sun...

He raised his head and looked at the dazzling and unreachable sun in the clear sky.

——It’s so similar...

"Those people have some insight."

There was no reason, Jiguo Iwakatsu said suddenly.

…

…

Shortly after.

The top of Mt. Saagiri.

In the false infinite city.

Shang Quanna pretended to be standing on the infinite ceiling without being miserable. At this moment, he had mimicked the final form of being miserable - an evil ghost with fangs all over his body and red limbs.

The pillars were panting and scattered in all directions. At this moment, they were already confused by the infinite city where the false Narume kept changing gravity.

Bang!

As the pipa sounded, the gravity changed again in Infinite City.

"Ahhhh——!!" My wife Shancun's scream came from one side.

boom!

He fell heavily to the other side, smashing several layers of wood and sending smoke and dust everywhere.

Snap.

Although Tsukuni Iwakatsu was somewhat short of breath, his overall condition was good. He jumped steadily and changed the direction of his body.

Shang Quanna was surprised to see Jiguo Iwakatsu standing on the floor of Infinite City, his sharp eyes fixed on him.

It took this guy less than a few hours to become familiar with and adapt to the changes in gravity in Infinite City.

——The performance is even better than that of the pillars who have been training for several days.

And he is the type who is very determined in his goal and will not let go if he bites his tongue.

For the first time, Shang Quanna clearly understood from him what kind of thing a samurai was.

He and Jiguo Iwakatsu looked at each other.

Jiguo Yansheng is a genius.

And he is a very hard-working genius.

Unfortunately……

Shang Quanna looked to the side, where Enichi Tsukuni was walking curiously in the False Infinite City.

Ji Guoyuan stood upside down on the ceiling. His eyes were dull and he curiously observed the structure of Infinite City.

——He has a younger brother standing on the ceiling.

In every sense.

Sudden.

Swish swish—! !

Three huge lavender moon arcs crossed the space in Infinite City and ran straight towards Shang Quanna.

"Damn it..." Jiguo Yansheng took a deep breath. He looked at Shang Quanna who easily turned aside to avoid his attack.

——During the battle...do you have time to be distracted...

——I... am not strong enough...!

Shang Quannai withdrew his eyes and glanced at the three crooked moons that passed by his side.

Ji Kuni Iwakatsu's breathing method is definitely much stronger than that in the original work.

In the original work, as one of the top stringers, Hei Shimo, he showed two types of breath of the moon.

The first one is the breath of the moon in its normal state, and the slashes it sends out at that time

——It is a yellow crescent moon.

The second type is to liberate the sword in the hand, extend the blade, and slash with countless small blades extending from the side.

——At that time, it was the lavender crescent moon.

——The lavender crescent moon will be covered with countless overlapping small pale blue crescent moons.

——Those are the marks of small blade cuts growing on the side of the blade.

Now that Yan Sheng is unable to make a small blade, he can naturally only slash a large crescent moon.

And now.

Even though Tsukuni Iwakatsu can be called a human, he has already used the purple crescent slash that was only used in the second stage when he was born as a ghost.

It can be seen that the breath of the moon has fundamentally improved to a higher level.

——Closer to Breath of the Sun.

Just when Jiguo Yansheng was gasping for air and staring at Shang Quanna's position, he wanted to continue his pursuit.

Wow——!

Shang Quannai waved his hand lightly.

The false infinite city suddenly began to disappear, revealing the already dark sky outside.

"That's it for today's training."

Shang Quanna led everyone back to the ground and said in a cold tone:

"Why were you surpassed by the newly joined members? You should go back and reflect on yourselves."

"Ghost King Wumei will not give you a second chance."
