Demon Slayer: Can I add points to my Breathing Technique?

Like ghosts or something...

Father, you'll be alright.

Definitely not.

Chapter 445 Both Sword and Moon

Just a little bit more, just a short distance away from where we are.

With his movements becoming increasingly swift, Tokito Kisaki was practically gritting his teeth as he charged forward.

Listening to the increasingly sparse gunshots and cries for help in the distance, they were like candles flickering in the wind, going out one by one.

He felt increasingly distressed.

If they truly are evil spirits, then these fading voices and resistance...

Even if he didn't want to think the worst, he knew what that meant.

It took less than 5 minutes.

Ji Zhang then heard hurried footsteps and heavy breathing coming from ahead.

The bushes were suddenly pushed aside.

A hunter who looked somewhat familiar rushed towards Tokito Kisaki from directly in front of them, almost tumbling and crawling.

"Mr. Bo Qi?"

"You...Tokito?! How could it be you?!"

The hunter, whose clothes were stained with blood, clearly hadn't expected to run into the familiar woodcutter here.

He was taken aback at first.

Panic immediately returned to her face.

"Why now of all times?! Tokito, run!"

"There are man-eating monsters in these mountains, it's not a bear at all!"

The hunter's footsteps hardly stopped.

With one hand gripping the gun and the other tugging at Tokito Noriaki's clothes, he prepared to flee into the distance.

"We must escape immediately before that monster catches up."

however.

The hunter, however, discovered that this man, who seemed to be of average build, had his feet firmly planted on the ground.

No matter how hard he tried to drag it, he couldn't get the other person to move an inch.

He then suddenly noticed that the woodcutter was not holding the axe or machete he usually used for chopping wood.

Instead, it was a silver-white samurai sword that gleamed with a cold light and appeared quite expensive.

"What do you want to do?! That guy is a monster!"

"The captain and the patrolmen's guns are useless. So many people have already died. Do you still want to go up there and die in vain?!"

However, Tokito Kisaki's Moon Breathing suddenly subsided.

It transformed into a pool of almost solidified moonlight.

He slowly positioned his wheel blade in a mid-range defensive stance.

All of his energy, spirit, and vitality were firmly locked in the darkness directly ahead.

“Mr. Poch, the monster is already here.”

Just as the woodcutter spoke,

From the woods ahead came the disdainful voice of the blond dwarf: "Tsk, I was actually thinking of having some fun."

The monster whose face and hands were covered in the blood of innocent people.

He slowly emerged from the shadows.

Bo Qi was so frightened that he lost his balance.

He fell straight to the ground.

Not long ago, the other side used a brutal and irrational force to slaughter all the members of the bear-hunting team one by one.

It still lingered in his mind.

"Another food ration has arrived, and he's even carrying a samurai sword."

The monster tilted its head, its sinister grin deepening.

"What, do you think you're a swordsman from the Demon Slayer Corps...?"

boom!

The trembling shotgun fired again at the blond man.

A dense barrage of iron pellets, enough to incapacitate an ordinary wild beast on the spot.

Besides tearing open and piercing several places on the monster's skin.

That was the last time.

Those ruptured wounds healed again in just a few breaths.

The monster slowly approached the two of them.

"Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

The blond monster opened its palm, and a blue energy ball quickly condensed into shape again.

He casually tossed the hunter, who was lying on the ground, into the air.

next second.

[Breath of the Moon]

【First Form: Dark Moon - Palace of the Night】

A ray of moonlight, still somewhat immature, bloomed in the forest shrouded in night.

Although it is far from being as devastating as Kokushibo's earth-shattering strikes.

But the demon on the other side was not a nine-pillar level powerhouse like Xia Xi.

The sharp Nichirin Blade struck the rapidly spinning energy ball head-on.

so heavy...

It was clearly the first time he had ever used a katana to fight a monster to the death.

But Tokito Noriaki seemed to have been born with a knack for swordsmanship, and with some kind of instinct etched into his bones, he slightly tilted the blade.

In that one-thousandth of a second of intersection, he used a clever trick to deliver a powerful flick.

The energy blast was actually deflected and sent flying.

With a loud bang.

The giant tree next to it was smashed to pieces by the off-track ball of light, and wood chips and twigs flew everywhere.

No, although it is very heavy.

But it didn't seem as irresistible as I had imagined.

Both the demon and the hunter Boqi felt incredulous at what they were seeing.

"You...are you really a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"Tokito, you really do know swordsmanship?!"

The former was surprised that this man in ordinary clothes was actually a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

It had dealt with quite a few demon hunters.

I know that these demon-slaying swordsmen usually wear the same uniform.

The samurai sword was also engraved with some nonsensical characters.

That's why they weren't considered swordsmen who used breathing techniques.

The man in front of me had just unleashed a cold and sharp strike, which had actually managed to deflect my Blood Demon Technique.

This is not something an ordinary samurai could do.

And Orion was sitting next to Tokito.

Then he recalled the legends about this woodcutter.

My ancestors were a prominent and wealthy family, and I heard that my father once ran a proper Taoist temple in a big city.

So, the reason he used to chop wood in these mountains was simply because he had retired from the martial arts world.

Tokito, you've kept this from us for so long...

However, Tokito Noriaki did not respond to their questions.

He pointed the knife at the short, blond man and said, "You're the demon... why do you eat people?"

The blond demon was amused by Tokito's question.

"I was a little nervous just now, but it turns out she's just a newbie."

"How could someone ask me such a stupid question as why I eat people?"

The evil spirit walked forward with a smile.

At the same time, he spoke.

"Just like how you humans eat fish and wild animals eat grass."

“As a superior race, it is only natural for us to eat you.”

When he stepped into the range of Tokito Noriaki's slashing attack.

Moonlight swept across the ground.
