Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

After exchanging only a dozen or so moves, Kiyokawa Izumi decisively created distance, and it had to be admitted that he was already starting to feel the strain.

Even with the Sharingan and having reached the current limit in swordsmanship, Akaza would still completely suppress him in close combat.

It truly possesses a speed and power that are terrifying, like a monster.

"Third Form: Silent Nine-Strike Combo!"

Without much hesitation, Kiyokawa Izumi had no choice but to explode.

Without changing your breathing rhythm and improving your physical functions, you won't be able to keep up with this person's pace.

As excess oxygen enters all parts of the body, hidden potential seems to be further awakened, and power surges continuously.

"Kiyokawa Izumi is just an ordinary swordsman."

"Really? What a powerful aura! Further enhancing your physical abilities through breathing... Technique Unveiled: Destruction Kill: Compass!"

Seemingly sensing the immense aura emanating from Kiyokawa Izumi, Akaza also became somewhat serious, and with him as the center, a snowflake-shaped formation unfolded in twelve directions.

The dazzling battle aura truly excited it.

It's such a pity.

If he were willing to become a ghost, he would have hundreds of years to hone his skills, and there is no doubt he could become even more powerful.

Such outstanding swordsmanship reminded Akaza of Kokushibo.

Perhaps Kiyokawa Izumi is not as good as that person now, but the potential and strength he has shown make it admire him greatly.

"Approaching in an instant!"

Even though Kiyokawa Izumi tried her best to hide her aura, it could still be clearly sensed by the other party, as obvious as a bonfire burning in the dark.

As they charged forward at high speed, a chaotic flurry of blade flashes appeared.

Without any skill or flair, Kiyokawa Izumi, with taut arm muscles, continuously swung his sword with each breath.

"Spinning heel!"

In the close-range charge, the remaining figure vanished in an instant. The human and the demon collided and intersected repeatedly in the small space, the air whistling as Akaza's fists pounded against each other.

Its fists, arms, and shoulders were frequently slashed, causing blood to splatter everywhere, and the wounds would heal in the blink of an eye.

In such an intense confrontation, Kiyokawa Izumi relied on his eyes and fighting instincts to dodge punches that could shatter mountains and kicks that tore through the air time and time again.

His attacks were always effective, but they rarely posed a fatal threat to this opponent; no matter how many wounds he inflicted, they would heal in an instant.

Everything seemed to be a futile effort.

It's pointless to waste your physical and mental energy.

"Destruction Kill - Air Style!"

Annoyed by Kiyokawa Izumi constantly circling behind him, Akaza suddenly exerted force with his legs, causing the roof to collapse instantly from the impact.

Unable to maintain his footing for a moment, Kiyokawa Izumi could only create distance.

Seizing this brief moment, he leaped high into the Akaza stance, without putting on any fancy moves, simply throwing a pure, violent punch downwards.

Under the relentless bombardment, a whole expanse of air, forcibly compressed and distorted, poured out like a burst dam.

This was a shockwave invisible to the naked eye, crashing down with unstoppable force, taking advantage of Kiyokawa Izumi's unstable footing.

"At this level, who are you underestimating?"

A large amount of air was inhaled into his expanded lungs, and hot blood flowed rapidly through his body. The veins in his arms suddenly bulged. Without the slightest hesitation, Kiyokawa Izumi, who had no time to dodge, had no choice but to take the hit head-on.

"Second Form: Intermittent Flash - Multi-Symphony!"

The shockwave, which was almost solidified, was forcibly severed by Kiyokawa Izumi with his Nichirin Blade.

"Destruction Kill - Shattering Style -"

Leaping into the air onto Akaza, Kiyokawa Izumi had no time to adjust, and attacked again and again.

"Wan Ye Shan Liu!!"

With his target locked, his fist seemed to radiate all his power, and a wide grin spread across his face as he appeared to be enjoying the pure moment of his power unleashed.

With a deafening crash, a heart-stopping thud followed. The already collapsed eaves were naturally unable to withstand such a heavy blow.

A terrifying force was unleashed, and the entire house was destroyed.

Such a commotion naturally alerted ordinary people in the vicinity. Some people, still half asleep and wearing kimonos, went out to investigate, only to be shocked by the battle unfolding not far away.

As the dust settled, Kiyokawa Izumi's figure quietly loomed before him—Akaza, having just unleashed this attack, would undoubtedly need a moment to adjust after landing.

The sheer amount of damage caused could, to some extent, conceal his presence.

"Destructive Shot - Leg Style - Flowing Light!"

Unexpectedly, Akaza was already prepared for Kiyokawa Izumi's sudden advance.

Its left foot was deeply embedded in the ground for support, while its right leg suddenly rose high, unleashing a series of kicks that exceeded the limits of visual perception.

Without any warning, or even a moment of preparation, the rapidly moving leg shadow was impossible to track, and constantly flashing and overlapping afterimages appeared in sight.

The surrounding air was constantly shaken and torn apart, accompanied by deafening explosions that rang in Kiyokawa Izumi's ears.
