Anime/Manga: Bankai Starting with Demon Slayer

The icy blue fighting spirit and the flying bird's sword wind clashed violently together, and the chaotic energy flow poured wildly in all directions like an out-of-control flood.

If he keeps going, the boy will eventually run out of energy!

At this moment, watching the fierce battle, Inosuke's body stiffened, his skin radiating a tense chill...

"Is this all the power Toritaro has...? It's like he's from another dimension... If we get involved, we'll definitely die!"

Chapter 62 The Light of Hope

boom! !

Asuka was hit by another kick from Akaza, but he immediately swung his sword down, severing half of his opponent's lower leg with a burning tamarisk!

My chest hurts so much, it feels like it's going to explode!

His consciousness began to blur. The intense spiritual pressure and the forced breathing technique were oppressing his body, causing his brain to feel dizzy from lack of oxygen.

Hang in there! Push your limits!

Clang!

Akaza punched the blade, and although he was also burned, he managed to deflect Asuka's attack, leaving a large gash on his chest!

"What a pity! What a pity for the young man!"

He roared and lamented, yet he seemed to exert no force whatsoever as he unleashed a powerful punch!

If that punch lands, Asuka will definitely be pierced through!

"Ugh—!!!"

Even so, Asuka did not give up. She actually turned her body to the side to meet the attack, minimizing the impact of Akaza's punch as much as possible!

Click!

Although the punch broke two of his ribs, his knife had already slashed into Akaza's shoulder!

"Damn it! It's off course!"

Asuka aimed her slash at Akaza's neck, but the intense pain distorted her movements!

My shoulder, it's just a shoulder, I'll tear you to shreds like this! Ah—!!!

The knife embedded itself into Akaza's body, frantically devouring his blood and demonic power, constantly injecting new energy into Asuka, allowing the blade to penetrate deeper and deeper!

The bird became fierce, its eyes turning bloodshot, like a demon god.

"Asuka! Don't let go! Burn it!!" Kyojuro Rengoku struggled to his feet, enduring the excruciating pain in his chest.

He didn't know if his bones were shattered or his organs were damaged, but he couldn't just stand by and watch Asuka fight the Upper Moon alone!

Such a sudden burst of power must have been achieved by Asuka at the cost of her life; the longer it drags on, the worse it will be!

He roared once more, forcibly summoning his last remaining strength to hold the Nichirin Blade to his shoulder!

"I am the Flame Pillar! Kyojuro Rengoku! I will fulfill my duties as a Pillar!!"

"Breath of Flame, Ninth Form: Hellfire!!"

Kyojuro Rengoku unleashed his Flame Breathing throughout his body, and the resulting fighting spirit even shook Akaza, who was locked in a stalemate with Asuka!

He roared, his entire body transforming into a golden-red fire dragon, charging towards the throne!

The power gathered on that blade was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, and tear the sky apart!

"Damn it, those two humans!"

He roared inwardly, his murderous intent boiling to the extreme!

Enraged, he roared, "Destruction Kill - Demon Core Eightfold Core!!"

This time, he abandoned defense altogether, channeling his ghostly power into his fist and unleashing a series of devastating punches aimed directly at the bird's vital points!

Seeing this, Asuka had no choice but to abandon her plan to tear him apart and quickly drew her sword to barely parry!

Boom! !

Two more punches landed on his abdomen, causing him to vomit a mouthful of foul blood!

At this moment, Hell had also arrived!

The Nichirin Blade slashed out fiercely, accompanied by a burst of fire that tore through the air, and struck Akaza's crossed arms in a block!

laugh--!!

The ear-piercing sound of bones grinding together, accompanied by the sounds of flesh being burned and torn, exploded!

The intense heat from the Rengoku Kyoujuro sword instantly tore through Akaza's incredibly tough demon arm, and the fiery dragon-like flames, like the fangs of a ferocious beast, madly cleaved half of its body in two!

"Damn demon hunter!!" Akaza was furious and was about to punch Kyojuro when an unexpected figure appeared!

Boom!

"Thunderbolt Flash - Divine Speed!!!"

Akaza's raised fist was completely severed in the blink of an eye after a thunderous roar!

Although it was an injury that he could recover from in an instant, it created a huge vacuum in the deadly fight.

Unexpectedly, the fierce and ruthless creature launched its most decisive attack at that moment!

"Hinokami Kagura: Yangka Burst!!"

"Second Fang: Cleave!!"

Even though they were terrified, Mr. Bird and Mr. Purgatory were exhausted!

Tanjiro and the others could no longer stand idly by and forced themselves to move. Even if they couldn't kill Akaza, they could at least cause him to slow down for a moment!

At this moment, the east was already showing the first light of dawn!

"What?!" Akaza roared in shock and anger for the first time.

It's unbelievable that it's been dragged on until now!

Sunlight! Deadly sunlight is coming!

Time is running out! We must escape immediately!

At that very moment, Asuka caught her breath!

"My teeth are flowing!!"

He roared, blood splattering from the corner of his mouth, but he was completely unaware.

laugh! ! !

The burning hot raccoon pierced Akaza's body, interrupting his attempt to escape!

"Damn it! Get out of here!!"

Akaza was enraged to the extreme, and his entire body once again erupted with incomprehensible force, directly blasting Tanjiro and the others away! Only Asuka and Rengoku remained, determined not to let go, locking his body in place!

"Destruction and Annihilation!"

Akula unleashed its most ferocious roar to date!

His newly formed fist seemed to transform into a falling black meteor, smashing towards Rengoku Kyojuro with a terrifying pressure that could destroy everything!

Kyojuro Rengoku's pupils constricted sharply, his survival instincts kicking in as he screamed for him to get away!

As the Flame Pillar, even if he were to die, he would never let go of the demon before him!

"Asuka boy! Cut him down!" he roared. "Sever his neck!!"

puff--!!

A chilling sound of bones shattering rang out, followed by a spray of blood!

It wasn't Hell that got hit, but the bird that stood in front of Hell at the last moment!

In a flash, the bird pulled out the scythe, but did not choose to strike its neck.

He stepped forward and cleaved Yiwozuo's fist, but a broken bone spur pierced his chest.

The team uniform on the chest, along with the internal bones, was visibly sunken in a large area!

His face turned deathly pale instantly!

Asuka gripped Akatsuki's upper arm tightly with her nearly bluish, menacing fingers, standing firmly in front of Hell and raising her talisman once more.

"I told you, I would protect you, and none of you will die!"

"Get out of here!!!"

The sky was already beginning to brighten, and Akaza had no patience to listen to this nonsense anymore!

Clang!

But before his roar could finish, Asuka, with her last breath, brought her Nichirin Blade to his neck!

Ouch! It's so hot! Am I going to be cut in two?!

Akaza was shocked and tried to deflect Asuka's sword with his fist, but found that after a night of fierce fighting, his body had been eroded by Asuka's sword aura, leaving countless wounds. At this point, his self-healing speed was extremely slow!

"Ah—!!" Asuka roared, and the mongoose tore through the flesh of Upper Moon Three bit by bit, already touching the hard vertebrae!

"Inosuke! Zenitsu! Get moving!!" Tanjiro, who had been knocked away by Akaza, didn't give up. He wiped the blood from his mouth and got up again: "Help! We have to keep him here!! Help Asuka-san!!"

"Ah—!! A pig charges forward!!"

"A lightning flash!!"

The three swords struck Asuka's blade simultaneously, injecting renewed power into the already weakened Asuka!

"what--!!!"

In the bloody tale, the demon's flesh was completely torn apart!

Whoosh—!

Akaza never imagined that his head would be severed!

At this moment, he suddenly felt a flood of memories, including those taken away by Lord Musan after he became a demon... These precious memories rushed back all at once!

Love Snow....

"How can I fall down?!"

Akaza's head roared in mid-air, and with the last of its strength, it kicked the heavily injured Rengoku Kyojuro in the chest, tearing off its own upper arm!

His headless body staggered backward, and his face, now suspended in mid-air, was no longer filled with rage, but completely replaced by extreme fear.

It leaped up, grabbed its head with its newly grown limbs, and fled into the forest in a panic before it could even pull out the Nichirin Blade embedded in its body!

"How is this possible! Why wasn't he killed?!" Tanjiro exclaimed in shock, completely bewildered as to why Akaza hadn't died!

Asuka stared blankly at the dim raccoon in her hand, and spat out a resentful rebuke:

"...At the last moment...did he run out of strength? What a pity..."

The light was rapidly expanding, and the golden dawn, like a sharp sword, pierced through the curtain of darkness, sweeping across the earth with unstoppable force!

The first ray of sunlight, though faint, was deadly to the ghosts, and had already reached the treetops at the edge of the battlefield!

There's no time left! Hurry! Run away!!

"Black-haired swordsman! I'll remember you! Next time we meet, I'll tear you to pieces!!!"

Yiwozu transformed into a blood shadow of incredible speed, uttering a venomous oath in a frenzy. In no time, it vanished into the depths of the dense forest, leaving behind only a trail of blood emitting a burnt, foul stench.

As the ghost moon disappeared into the shadows of the mountain forest at dawn, Fei Niao's tense nerves finally snapped completely.

He could no longer hold on and collapsed to his knees, vomiting mouthfuls of blood.

Not far from him, Rengoku Kyojuro was kicked into the remaining carriage of the train, where he also lay unconscious in a pool of blood, his breath extremely weak.

"Mr. Asuka! Mr. Purgatory!!"

Tanjiro rushed to Asuka in a panic to check on her.

All I could see was that the bird had closed its eyes and fainted.
