Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Kiyokawa Izumi, who had a premonition that this selection process would end soon, was now free.

"Is Sun Breathing a special breathing technique?"

Urokodaki Sakonji's voice suddenly rang out from the side. Unlike the Flame Breathing technique passed down through generations of the Rengoku family, there are more users of the Water Breathing technique.

Previous Water Pillars might not have known about figures like Sun Breathing and the legendary swordsman Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Otherwise, they would remind Tanjiro to practice the Hinokami Kagura's movements more.

Tanjiro and Water Breathing aren't actually that compatible.

His ability to use water breathing is far less powerful than Giyu's.

"It is the source of all breathing techniques. What exists today is nothing more than a clumsy imitation of Sun Breathing... Your self-created Dark Breathing is a derivative of Water Breathing, isn't it?"

Once he regained consciousness, Makijuro suddenly asked a question.

This question silenced Kiyokawa Izumi.

Is it a derivative of water breathing?

Actually, no.

When it was first created, it was based on the Sun Breathing Technique and other breathing methods.

Now there is even a fusion of the Seven-Day Breathing Method.

Where can it be considered a derivative of water breathing?

"When you reach your peak, you'll find that you can't improve any further; your swordsmanship and breathing techniques will both hit a bottleneck... Don't you really feel your own limits?"

Kiyokawa Izumi really wanted to say, "I'm not like you old man, I'm still in my developmental stage."

Both the basic stats and breathing techniques are far from their limits, and there is still room for improvement.

But in terms of swordsmanship... at the fourth level, with the help of these special eyes, he was already able to fight against the other Pillars using only his swordsmanship.

Even if they can't win, they can hold out for a while.

When he was upgraded again, no human swordsman could defeat him with swordsmanship alone.

To say that one is unparalleled in the world would be too arrogant.

But looking at the present, his swordsmanship is enough to rank him in the top three.

It is estimated that only Kokushibo, who has survived for hundreds of years, can be a step ahead of him. Kiyokawa Izumi is also very curious. Having lived for so long, in terms of swordsmanship alone, is he at the sixth or seventh level?

Is he really getting close to Yoriichi Tsugikuni?

Seeing that Kiyokawa Izumi remained silent, Makijuro chuckled, knowing that this guy had obviously also reached his limit.

He heard from his son that the current Ju-sang were gathering together for combat training.

He was somewhat dismissive of this.

Do you think you can break through the bottleneck just by training or fighting between Pillars?

It's not that easy.

Some things are impossible to accomplish no matter how much effort you put in.

Because your talent means you can't do it!

Kyojuro is a mediocre person with no talent and mediocre ability. How much better are the other Pillars compared to him?

Doing meaningless things is simply a waste of time.

Do you know what I was thinking just now?

After a moment of silence, Kiyokawa Izumi's voice suddenly rang out.

Makijuro ignored him and continued drinking his sake.

"It's time for the upper moon, which hasn't changed in a century, to change as well."

For Kiyokawa Izumi at this point, the daily training between the Pillars has had a negligible impact on improving her swordsmanship.

When you are weak, you can use these eyes to imitate and absorb the swordsmanship of others, taking a shortcut to improve yourself quickly, but there is a limit to this.

By the time he caught up, he had already surpassed many others. While the swordsmanship skills of the other pillars were still of reference value, they were no longer sufficient to bring him a qualitative improvement.

The road ahead is one you must walk yourself.

Living hundreds of years in the future, he had no chance to meet Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

No one in this generation can get close to him.

After that, I didn't know who to imitate, and I didn't even have a reference point.

Kiyokawa Izumi clearly didn't believe that Yoriichi Tsugikuni's swordsmanship was about the same as his, and that he was only so powerful because of Sun Breathing and the three-piece set.

When they are weak, they wish even evil spirits who have mastered blood demon arts would temporarily avoid their sharp edge, let alone the Twelve Demon Moons.

My mindset is completely different now.

He felt that the upper part of the screen should also be changed.

It would be pointless to go and find the Lower Moon again and fight it.

Once the Third Form is activated, a straight charge forward can easily slay a lower moon with a single, casual strike.

What's the point of having so many combat experiences?

What kind of improvement can it bring to myself?

Only when the wind is turned up can it put him under immense pressure.

"Are you like the first swordsman?"

Makijuro looked at him in disbelief, vaguely realizing something.

"Stripes? I haven't awakened that thing."

Kiyokawa Izumi shook off the haori, turned and left, not forgetting to leave behind a remark.

"Hold your wine jug and watch."

Without mastering the Mark like the original swordsman, where does your confidence come from? If you actually encounter an Upper Moon, given your personality, you'd be practically asking for death.

Makijuro's lips moved slightly, but there were some things he ultimately couldn't say.

"Young people always say such arrogant things. How easy is it to meet an Upper Moon?"

ridiculous!"

He served as a pillar for a much longer period than Izumi Kiyokawa.

Lord Urokodaki beside him was the same.

They all knew that Upper Moon demons weren't easy to find, and they couldn't help but feel that Kiyokawa Izumi was a bit too confident. Such a mentality was not appropriate for a Pillar.
