Infinity: The main god space starting from Naruto

Chapter 220: Regret for rejecting Shangsan’s invitation.

"Mr. Purgatory." Tanjiro's throat tightened.

"It's perfect!" Kamishiro Tsubaki was so excited that her whole body was shaking, with a fanatical smile on her face, "Lord Dio's blood can bring the dead back to life! This is a power beyond human!"

As he spoke, he took out the short knife he carried with him and cut his wrist without hesitation. Blood flowed down his arm, shining strangely in the moonlight.

"Please drink my blood, Master Purgatory!" Kamishiro Tsubaki raised his bleeding wrist with a crazy smile on his face, "Let Master Dio's will flow through your whole body!"

"Crack!"

Rengoku Kyojuro didn't even look at his wrist, instead he grabbed Kamishiro Tsubaki's neck and lifted him up high.

"Hmm!" Kamishiro Tsubaki was lifted up, but there was no pain on his face. Instead, he showed a fanatical smile, "It is an honor to give everything to Master Dio."

"Grumpy"

A sound was heard, and Kamishiro Tsubaki's blood was continuously being absorbed into Rengoku Kyojuro's body.

Rengoku Kyojuro's rotten skin began to heal, maggots fell off one after another, and the face that Tanjiro was very familiar with was reappearing.

With a "bang", Kamishiro Tsubaki's body was thrown to the ground casually.

Rengoku Kyojuro bent down and picked up Kamishiro Tsubaki's Nichirin Sword. He slowly raised his head and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Tanjiro, long time no see."

"Mr. Purgatory. You still remember me."

"I remember everything," Rengoku Kyojuro stroked the blade, "including what I did when I was the Flame Pillar. Thinking about it now, it was really stupid."

Tanjiro's pupils shrank: "What?"

"Think about it, we fight so hard to hunt down evil spirits, why?" Rengoku Kyojuro shook his head, his voice full of sarcasm, "Just because they killed a few people? How ridiculous, how ridiculous. The weak are dominated by the strong!"

He raised his hand and looked at his restored palm: "At that time on the Infinity Train, Upper String Three appreciated my talent and invited me to become a demon. But I foolishly refused. Now thinking about it, it was a wrong decision."

"I feel so wonderful now, strength is surging in my body, eternal life is flowing in my veins..."

"Mr. Purgatory! Wake up!" Tanjiro shouted, "This is not your idea! It was Dio, that monster, who controlled you!"

"Control?" Rengoku Kyojuro laughed, "No, Tanjiro, I am more awake than ever!"

Tanjiro stared at the person in front of him. The face was still the same as he remembered, but the madness and distortion in the eyes made him feel endless chill.

He took a deep breath, gripped the hilt tightly, and assumed the starting posture of Sun Breathing, with the blade pointing directly at Rengoku Kyojuro.

Rengoku Kyojuro watched Tanjiro's actions with interest: "Oh? You want to fight me?"

"You are just a monster in the guise of Mr. Purgatory." Tanjiro took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, "Mr. Purgatory, you must not want to see yourself become like this!"

"As a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps," he stepped his right foot on the ground and squatted slightly: "I can't let you continue like this."

Tanjiro's aura suddenly changed, a hot breath surged out of his body, his breathing gradually became steady, and his heartbeat and breathing were perfectly coordinated.

"Full Collection·Fire God Kagura·Seventh Form" Tanjiro held the sword with both hands, his body like a compressed spring, "Yanghua Tu!"

His figure disappeared instantly, leaving only a deep footprint on the ground.

A sharp whistle was heard in the air, and Tanjiro turned into a red lightning and pierced straight into Rengoku Kyojuro's heart. This attack had already exerted the speed to the extreme.

"Hehe, compared to the Breathing of Flame, the Breathing of Sun is indeed more powerful." Rengoku Kyojuro raised his lips, "But."

"Now I have surpassed humans!"

He stomped his right foot on the ground, which shattered instantly. He then rushed forward and slashed out with a magnificent flaming blow.

"Breath of Fire·One Type·Shiranui!"

With a loud "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere, two completely different fire forces collided in the air, and hot air waves spread in all directions.

"Well!"

Tanjiro only felt his arm go numb, and his whole body was knocked back several steps by the huge force. The bluestone slabs on the ground were crushed by his footsteps.

Rengoku Kyojuro stood still, with a faint flame lingering on the knife in his hand: "How is it, do you feel it? This is the power that Master Dio gave me!"

"So strong!" Tanjiro's hand holding the knife trembled slightly. The force of the previous blow was far beyond the level of Rengoku Kyojuro in his memory. Rengoku Kyojuro was now more powerful than when he was alive. But.
"Mr. Purgatory, your breath of fire has changed."

"Changed?"

"Yes." Tanjiro looked directly into those red eyes, "Your sword has lost the will to protect others. Now the breath of fire is only the flame of destruction and killing."

"Really?" Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes glowed red. "Now I no longer need to rely on just breathing techniques! The power brought by this immortal body is far more powerful than any breathing technique!"

"Breath of Fire·Three Types·All Forms of Air Flame!"

Rengoku Kyojuro held up the Sun Blade, with red flames wrapped around the blade. He held the blade with both hands and chopped it down from top to bottom, and the blazing waves of fire poured down like a waterfall.

Tanjiro's pupils shrank, and he exerted force with his legs. He jumped into the air, using the momentum of his ascent to avoid the fatal blow.

"Fire God Kagura·Nine Form·Sunset Turn!" Tanjiro spun in the air, and the Nichirin Sword in his hand drew an arc and slashed towards Rengoku Kyojuro's neck.

"too naive!"

Rengoku Kyojuro did not retreat but advanced. He stepped on the ground and soared into the sky like a cannonball.

"Breathing of Fire, Form 2, Ascending Blazing Flame!"

The blade in his hand drew an upward trajectory, aiming straight at Tanjiro's jaw.

"clang"

With a loud bang, the two swords collided in the air, sparks flew everywhere, and the huge impact force directly pushed Tanjiro back.

Tanjiro adjusted his body in the air, and as soon as his feet landed on the ground, he heard Rengoku Kyojuro's voice coming from above his head.

"too slow!"

At some point, he had already soared into the air, and the blade in his hand, wrapped in blazing flames, chopped down on the head.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The sound of metal colliding continued to ring out, sparks flew everywhere. The two figures moved quickly under the moonlight, and every time they fought, an astonishing wave of energy erupted.

After a fierce blow, the two blades touched each other again. Tanjiro's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his arms were shaking slightly under the huge pressure. He could feel that the force coming from the other party's sword was stronger than before.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Pfft!"

Rengoku Kyojuro's hair suddenly stretched out like a living thing, transforming into countless blood-red tentacles that attacked Tanjiro.

"What?!" Tanjiro was caught off guard and his right arm was entangled by a tentacle.

He tried to break free, but felt a sharp pain. The fangs had pierced deep into his flesh and began to suck his blood crazily.

"Kagura, God of Fire, One Form, Round Dance!"

Tanjiro endured the severe pain and retreated suddenly, his wrist rotating rapidly, the blade drew a perfect arc in the air, a cold light flashed, and those strange hairs broke off.

However, during this gap, Rengoku Kyojuro's knife had already slashed across his chest, blood splattered, and a wound appeared.

"Uh"

Tanjiro staggered back, gasping for breath. Sweat and blood mixed together and dripped down his chin. The continuous high-intensity fighting made his heart beat like a drum and his body temperature rose rapidly.

He raised his head, and at that moment, he noticed a detail - there were several notches on the blade of Rengoku Kyojuro.

"I see." A gleam flashed in Tanjiro's eyes.

It was an ordinary soldier's standard sword, which could not withstand such a fierce collision. And every time the breathing method was used, new wounds would be left on the blade.

Rengoku Kyojuro was unaware of this. At this moment, he had completely lost the ability to resonate with the Nichirin Sword.

"Now is the chance!" Tanjiro stood up suddenly, holding the hilt tightly with both hands. His eyes were fixed on the gap of Rengoku Kyojuro's blade, and he rushed out like an arrow.

"clang!"

The two swords collided again, and Tanjiro's blade accurately chopped on the gap. A sharp metal friction sound was heard, and the gap further widened with sparks flying. Just as the two were fighting fiercely, the forehead of Kamishiro Tsubaki, who was lying on the ground in the distance, suddenly moved.

Kamishiro Tsubaki's body began to twist and deform, and something was surging wildly under his skin. After a moment, he had completely turned into a corpse, with a strange light flashing in his empty eyes.

"Complete Master Dio's mission..."

He stood up mechanically and picked up the wooden box that had fallen on the ground. The glass bottles containing Dio's blood glowed a faint red light under the moonlight.

On the other side, the battle between Tanjiro and Rengoku Kyojuro becomes more intense.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Every time the blades collided, the gap on the standard knife widened a bit.

Suddenly, the earth began to shake.

"Click. Click."

Suddenly, strange noises came from the surrounding cemeteries, as if something was struggling to break out of the ground.

"What?!" Tanjiro's face suddenly changed.

Countless pairs of pale arms stretched out from the soil, followed by twisted figures. They staggered out of the tomb and then quickly dispersed in all directions.

"This is..." Tanjiro's heart sank. If these zombies rush into the town... they must be stopped!

"Where do you want to go?" Rengoku Kyojuro's voice sounded in his ears. A sharp blade flashed across, forcing Tanjiro to retreat.

"clang!"

Tanjiro anxiously watched the zombies gradually disappear into the night. They were moving towards the town!
"Get out of the way!" Tanjiro shouted anxiously. If they were allowed to rush into the town, the consequences would be disastrous!

"Heh," Rengoku Kyojuro's mouth curled into a mocking arc, "Why should we care about the lives of the weak? Survival of the fittest, this is the truth of the world!"

"Mr. Purgatory!" Tanjiro's voice was choked with sobs, "I know you are still in that body! You once said that you would protect the weak. How can you now watch these monsters hurt innocent people!"

"Everything in the past is over! Now I am only loyal to Master Dio." Rengoku Kyojuro sneered, "Come on! Let me see your resolve!"

Sporadic screams could be heard in the distance. Tanjiro's heart was pounding. Every second of delay might mean the death of more innocent people.

"Damn it. Damn it!" His breathing became rapid, and his chest rose and fell violently. "I can't go on like this."

"Breathing of Fire, Sixth Form, Purgatory!"

At this moment, Rengoku Kyojuro roared, put the blade on his shoulder, and rushed out like a cannonball.

The ground crumbled under his feet, and flames wrapped around the blade, as if to ignite the air.

Tanjiro's eyes flashed with solemnity. He took a deep breath and stomped his right foot hard on the ground: "God of Fire Kagura, Hikage!"

His figure kept flickering in the moonlight, leaving a clear shadow in every position, as if there were a dozen Tanjiros appearing at the same time.

"Phantom?" Rengoku Kyojuro's pupils shrank.

The next second, Rengoku Kyojuro raised his head suddenly, his throat moved, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. The blood turned into a fine blood mist in the air, and his eyes were fixed on the flow of the blood mist.

"There!" A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and the blade cut through the blood mist and went straight for one of the figures.

But it's just air.

"What?!" Rengoku Kyojuro's pupils shrank.

Just then, he felt a chill on his back, turned around abruptly, and slashed with the blade.

"Breath of Fire - Flame Tiger!"

A giant tiger formed by flames roared and pounced on Tanjiro. A scorching wave of air rushed towards him, and the air became distorted under the high temperature.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Tanjiro's heartbeat roared in his ears, as if it was about to burst through his chest. Every beat made his blood hotter, as if it was about to burn.

"what!"

A low roar came from the depths of his throat, and red patterns suddenly appeared on his forehead, burning like flames.

"The Fire God Kagura: The Three-Moon Dance!"

Tanjiro's body instantly split into three afterimages, avoiding the attack of the fire tiger.

At the same time, Tanjiro suddenly exerted force on his feet, and his whole body was like an arrow shot from a bow. The blade drew a perfect arc and slashed towards Rengoku Kyojuro from bottom to top.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the standard sword in Rengoku Kyojuro's hand finally couldn't withstand the huge impact, and the blade shattered into pieces.

"What?!" Rengoku Kyojuro's pupils suddenly shrank.

Before he could react, the second slash had already cut through the air and went straight for his right arm. The blade passed by, blood splattered, and the entire arm fell to the ground.

Tanjiro didn't pause at all, and slashed straight at Rengoku Kyojuro's head. Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the blade gleamed coldly under the moonlight.

"Goodbye, Mr. Rengoku." Tanjiro said silently in his heart, with a trace of pain in his eyes.

But just as the blade was about to hit, a crazy red light suddenly flashed in Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes. He opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

"I Won't Die!"

With a roar, Rengoku Kyojuro bit the blade with his teeth. The blade cut the corner of his mouth, and his teeth shattered under the huge impact, and blood flowed down the blade.

But he seemed not to feel any pain and held on tightly.

"How is this possible!" Tanjiro's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at the scene in disbelief.

There was a mad light in Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes, and he growled like a beast from deep in his throat. Blood dripped down his chin, but turned into steam before it hit the ground.

Just as Tanjiro was shocked, Rengoku Kyojuro's right leg suddenly shot up. His knee slammed into Tanjiro's abdomen like a cannonball, and the air whistled sharply under this blow.

"boom!"

Amidst the dull sound of impact, a huge force was transmitted through the bones and flesh. Tanjiro felt that all his internal organs were displaced by the blow, and he spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably.

Tanjiro's legs left two deep grooves on the ground, but he clenched his teeth and forced himself to keep his body steady.

"This is the power that Master Dio has bestowed upon me!" Rengoku Kyojuro grinned indistinctly, "Even if my body is chopped into pieces, I can continue to fight! This is immortality!"

He raised his regrown right arm, but the black lines suddenly began to fade and the new flesh and blood was shrinking rapidly.

"What?" Rengoku Kyojuro's smile froze.

Rengoku Kyojuro looked down at his wound with a gloomy expression, "Is the blood you absorbed not enough?"

Tanjiro took a deep breath. This was a perfect opportunity. He bent his legs slightly and prepared to launch an attack.

"boom!"

A deafening sound of artillery fire suddenly came from a distance, and the earth shook violently.

Flames bloomed in the night sky, illuminating half the sky, and thick smoke rose, mixed with the smell of gunpowder.

Rengoku Kyojuro sneered, "It seems you have to make a choice." He took a step back, his voice full of sarcasm, "Hunting me, or saving those ants?"

After saying this, Rengoku Kyojuro turned around and disappeared into the night.

"Wait!" Tanjiro was about to catch up when he stopped.

If he continues to pursue Rengoku Kyojuro, those who need protection will...
“Damn it!” Tanjiro clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.

He took a last look at the direction where Rengoku Kyojuro disappeared, then turned and ran towards the base.
