Infinity: The main god space starting from Naruto

Chapter 231 Will You Remember How Much Bread You Eat?
"The imperial city is ahead."

Tanjiro stood on a high slope, looking at the towering city walls in the distance.

On the slope behind him, dozens of swordsmen were adjusting their breathing.

They were all elites drawn from various places, and their strength was at least above Class A. But at this moment, many of them were leaning against tree trunks to catch their breath, and the fatigue on their faces was difficult to conceal.

The railway along the way was damaged and the electric poles were leaning here and there, so we had to walk. The journey that was supposed to take half a day now took us this long.

At this time, the sun in the sky has not yet completely set, and it will probably take another three or four hours before dark.

"How about we find a place nearby to rest for the night?" A young swordsman suggested while wiping the sweat from his forehead. "We haven't stopped since morning, and it's so late."

"What is to come will come."

Fushigawa Shiya clenched the hilt of the knife: "Instead of passively taking a beating, it is better to take the initiative. I want to see what that guy named Dio is capable of!"

After a long silence, Tomioka Giyuu nodded in agreement: "During the day, we can still use the sunlight to suppress those monsters. Once night falls, they will definitely take action. Entering the city now is the best option."

Tomioka Giyuu turned around and glanced at the swordsmen behind him: "The next battle will be very dangerous. Less than half of the people will be able to return alive. Those who want to quit can leave now."

No one backed down. These swordsmen were the elite among the elites. Each of them had the strength to stand on their own and had already been prepared to make sacrifices.

"Everyone, get ready. We'll set off in twenty minutes." Tomioka Giyuu gave the order. "Remember, once we enter the Imperial City, everyone must be on high alert. If you're not careful, you'll be killed without a complete body."

The swordsmen quickly arranged their equipment and checked their knives. Some took out the medicine they carried with them and swallowed it, while others silently wiped the dust off the blades.

Soon, the twenty minutes were up.

"Get ready for action." Tanjiro stood up, "Senpai-san, I'm counting on you."

Beimingyu Xingming stood at the front, and the chain hammer in his hand made a metallic collision sound. He took a deep breath, and his muscles swelled instantly, and veins bulged.

"Amitabha."

"boom!"

The meteor hammer whistled as it smashed against the city gate. The heavy iron gate broke apart, with fragments flying everywhere. After the smoke and dust cleared, a foul smell hit us in the face.

"Be careful and alert." Tomioka Giyuu drew his Nichirin sword, "Keep the formation and move forward."

After passing through the city gate, the scene before them made everyone freeze in place.

"This is..." Tanjiro's pupils shrank sharply.

Quiet, eerily quiet.

The street in front of him was empty, but the ground was covered with a layer of dark red blood scabs. The blood had dried up, and under the setting sun, it had a strange luster.

Ihei Xiaobanei squatted down and gently touched the ground with his fingers: "Hiss, the land here has been completely soaked with blood. Judging from the area and thickness of the bloodstains, at least tens of thousands of people have died."

"Beast!" Fushigawa Shima gritted his teeth.

Tanjiro frowned and looked around: "The enemies should be hiding inside the buildings."

Without any orders, the swordsmen behind him had already started to act.

They quickly untied the bags on their backs and took out black cylindrical objects, which were specially made explosive packs.

The swordsmen were divided into teams and quickly placed explosives at the entrances of various buildings. The palace was not large, only the size of several football fields.

This amount of explosives is more than enough to blow up all major buildings.

"Everyone retreat!" Tomioka Giyuu gave an order, and the swordsmen quickly distanced themselves.

Tanjiro clenched the detonator in his hand: "Ready."

"boom!"

The deafening explosion resounded throughout the imperial city. The blast stirred up huge clouds of dust, and the buildings were shattered in the explosion. Debris and wood chips flew everywhere like raindrops.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Countless black shadows rose from the broken buildings. They were huge balloons with a metallic sheen on their surfaces, rising rapidly into the air.

A silver metal device was hung under each balloon. The device was activated instantly and countless smoke shot out like arrows.

At the same time, there were bursts of roars from the ground. Countless smoke bombs were fired at high speed from all directions, drawing dense arcs in the air.

"This is..." Fushigi Miyabi widened his eyes.

The smoke spread at an alarming speed. The sky, which had once been filled with sunlight, was instantly covered by a thick cloud of smoke.

The gray-white smoke piled up layer by layer like an invisible wall. It was supposed to be three or four hours before it got dark, but now it was already dusk.

"Damn it!" Shikawa Shiya gritted his teeth, "Are you trying to create a dark night environment?"

A young swordsman suddenly coughed painfully, bent over and kept gasping for air: "My lungs are so hot!"

At this moment, the swordsman who inhaled a breath of smoke suddenly covered his chest and fell to the ground. A burning sensation came from his lungs, as if countless fine needles were piercing him.

"Cough cough." The swordsman's face turned red and his breathing became increasingly difficult.

Shinobu Kocho's face changed: "Be careful! The smoke is poisonous! Hurry up and cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth!"

Everyone took action immediately. Someone took out a water bottle from his backpack and soaked the cloth strips. The swordsmen quickly covered their mouths and noses with the wet cloth.

But a few who were slow to react had already fallen to the ground, holding their throats and twitching.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound all around. It was very light at first, but gradually became more and more frequent, like countless insects crawling.

"Here it comes!" Tokito Muichiro turned around suddenly.

Dark shadows flickered in the smoke. Figures walked out from behind the building one after another, their eyes glowed with a strange red light, and their skin was an abnormal grayish white.

Not only on the ground, but also on the walls and roofs, there were corpses everywhere.

They were crowded together, crawling like ants, and some even walked vertically down the wall.

The number of zombies increased, pouring out from every corner. They swarmed over and surrounded the swordsmen.

"This is too much." Mitsuri Kanroji tightly gripped the hilt of the knife.

Hundreds of zombies huddled together, making creepy growls.

"Everyone, form a formation!" Tanjiro shouted, "Back to back, don't leave any gaps!"

The swordsmen quickly adjusted their positions, forming a defensive formation, with their blades unsheathed, flashing cold light.

“Welcome to my party.”

A cold voice came from above. Everyone looked up and saw a tall figure standing at the highest point of the palace, looking down at everyone.

The zombies around them all stepped aside, leaving a passage.

The sunlight shone through the smoke, vaguely illuminating the man's outline. He was wearing a black windbreaker and his golden hair fluttered in the wind.

Although no one had ever seen Dio, looking at the proud figure standing there, everyone understood his identity.

The aura of being above all others, the arrogance of disregarding life, made people shudder. "Dio!"

"Oh? Looks like there's no need to introduce myself." There was a hint of amusement in Dio's voice.

Tanjiro stared at the figure, his hand holding the knife trembling slightly with anger, "How many innocent people have died in your hands in the past few days?! Those civilians and soldiers, they have no grudges against you, why did you do this! "

"hehe."

Dio laughed contemptuously: "Tell me, Tanjiro, do you remember how many slices of bread you have eaten?"

Hearing this, Tanjiro's eyes became bloodshot and veins bulged on his forehead.

The man in front of him was so indifferent to human life. Such inhumane remarks almost made him burst through the restraint of reason with anger.

"asshole!"

The next moment, the ground beneath Tanjiro's feet instantly cracked. Red lines were wrapped around his Nichirin Sword, and a flaming aura burst out from his body.

"Breath of the sun·Shape of Qi·Yang Hua Tu!"

Tanjiro turned into a red light and rushed towards Dio in an instant.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly stood in front of Dio.

"clang!"

There was a loud bang and sparks flew everywhere.

Tanjiro's pupils suddenly contracted. The scene before him almost made him forget to breathe.

"Mr. Purgatory. How could that be?"

Six arms grew out of Rengoku Kyojuro's body, each holding a blood-red long sword. His skin was an unnatural grayish-white, and his eyes flashed blood-red.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Kanroji Mitsuri covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes. As a disciple of Purgatory, she could not accept the scene before her.

Rengoku Kyojuro said nothing, and swung his six swords at the same time, forming an impenetrable sword net. Tanjiro was forced to retreat.

“Hahaha!” Dio laughed loudly. “Want to challenge me? Defeat my subordinates first! Let me see if you so-called pillars are qualified to be my opponents!”

As Dio finished his words, several figures rose from the smoke and stood in front of Dio.

When they saw these figures clearly, the pillars froze as if struck by lightning.

"锖兔." Giyu Tomioka's voice was trembling, his eyes full of disbelief.

The best friend who had saved him in the final selection was now standing in front of him. The Xuantu in his memory had changed beyond all recognition, his arms had turned into sharp blades, and his eyes were flashing with a strange red light.

"Sister?" Kocho's pupils shrank suddenly and she trembled all over. Her sister Kanae was standing there, with butterfly-wing-like bone blades growing out of her back, and she exuded an ominous aura.

The other pillars also recognized the figures they were familiar with, including some that were familiar to them.

Everyone's body has been horribly transformed. Some have grown extra limbs... They retain their appearance in life, but have completely turned into monsters.

"You" Tanjiro stared at Dio, his nails digging into his flesh and causing a trace of blood to flow out.

"What do you think of life?! These are living people, beings with their own thoughts and feelings! Why do you trample on their dignity like this!"

Dio looked down at Tanjiro with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Haha, sheep eat grass, people eat sheep, and I eat people. This is the food chain, the law of nature. I am the predator standing at the top, a higher life form that surpasses humans."

He opened his arms, his voice full of arrogance: "Aren't you humans the same? Domesticating animals, crossbreeding them, and modifying their genes at will. Have you ever asked those pets for their opinions?"

Dio sneered, "In my eyes, there is no difference between you humans and ants. I gave them a new life and allowed them to gain power beyond humans. This is a gift!"

"Go!" Dio gave an order, and hundreds of guns were raised at the same time, with cold light flashing from the muzzles.

"Careful!" Tanjiro yelled.

The next moment, dense gunfire rang out. Countless bullets rained down like raindrops, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The swordsmen quickly raised their swords to block, and the blade of the Nichirin Sword collided with the bullets, making a series of "clang clang" sounds.

But the poisonous fog affected their vision and reaction speed, and their movements became slow.

"Ah!" A scream rang out as a swordsman's shoulder was hit by a bullet, and blood spurted out. Then several swordsmen who were slower to react were shot and fell to the ground.

"We can't go on like this!" Tomioka Giyuu shot down three bullets with one sword, "Split up and find cover! Everyone, pay attention, don't stay where you are!"

Fuzukawa Shiya kicked his foot, and the ground cracked. He rushed towards a group of gun-wielding zombies like a cannonball, with the flash of knives and blood splattering.

Tokito Muichiro's figure shuttled through the crowd, and every time the knife flashed, several corpses fell.

"Tanjiro!" Tomioka Giyuu yelled.

Tanjiro nodded in understanding, and rushed towards Dio with Tomioka Giyuu. But at this moment, two figures blocked Tomioka Giyuu like lightning.

"锖兔.真菖" Tomioka Giyu gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, his voice trembling slightly.

Without any hesitation, the Nichirin sword came slashing down with a sharp sound. Tomioka Giyuu could only raise his sword to block, and the metal collision made a crisp sound.

On the other side, Kanae stood in front of Shinobu Kocho. The sisters faced each other, and the air was filled with sadness.

"Sister." Shinobu Kocho clenched the Sun Blade tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Countless scenes of getting along with my sister flashed through my mind, but the one in front of me was no longer the Kanae I remembered.

Tanjiro was about to chase Dio when Rengoku Kyojuro suddenly stood in front of him. Six arms swung the Sun Blade at the same time, and the blade lights intertwined into a deadly net.

At this moment, a sound of breaking air came from the side. Beimingyu Xingming's giant axe cut through the sky and went straight to the back of Purgatory.

clang!
Purgatory's right arm turned around, and a sun wheel sword blocked the flying axe. The blades collided, sparks flew. Purgatory's eyes flashed red, and he shouted in a low voice: "Vaporization freezing method!"

The cold air surged out from the blade and instantly spread to the giant axe. The surface of the axe quickly froze and was covered with a thick layer of frost.

“Amitabha.” Beimingyu Xingming held the chain with both hands, “I’m sorry!”

"Rock Breathing·Five Forms·Wawa Keibu!"

The meteor hammer came through the air, bringing with it the sound of whistling wind. The six blades of Purgatory blocked it at the same time, but the huge force knocked Shunjiang back.

His feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground, and gravel flew everywhere.

Just as Beimingyu Xingming was about to chase, a mechanical roar suddenly sounded. A shell whizzed in, trailing a long trail of flames.

"Careful!" Tanjiro yelled.

Beimingyu Xingming hastily swung his meteor hammer to block.

boom!
Amid the huge explosion, Beimingyu Xingming was pushed back by the shock wave. Before he could stand firm, a louder noise came from the smoke.

"That is..." Tanjiro's pupils shrank, "The army's latest weapon?"

The tank turret slowly turned, with the black muzzle pointed at everyone.

There was still gun smoke from the previous shell on the gun barrel, and several zombies were standing on the armored plate, holding heavy machine guns in their hands.
