Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

This strike represents the current limit of Kiyokawa Izumi's swordsmanship.

Without affecting his physical condition, he has achieved his current peak.

It has the lightness and weightlessness of water, and is like a fleeting glimpse of light, disappearing before you can observe it closely.

A few stray hairs fell silently to the ground, and Shinobu Kocho's eyes turned dangerous as she quickly retreated.

Ninja subconsciously touched the stray hairs hanging down on her right side and just quietly looked at him.

The hair hanging down on both sides is no longer the same length.

The air was deathly silent, and the overconfident Qingchuanquan dared not speak.

He wasn't being merciless, nor did he even glance at Ninja's long, white neck.

But once the Nichirin Blade is drawn, it has to cut something, right?

If you can't control your hair, it's perfectly reasonable to accidentally cut off a few strands.

But he clearly forgot that the woman in front of him had a competitive and irritable personality—the smile on her face was only because her sister liked that kind of smile, but it didn't mean that she really had the personality of Kanae Kocho.

Saying that being competitive and easily angered is actually not accurate.

That was her previous personality.

Right now, she is probably suppressing her deep-seated hatred for the evil spirit.

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, did you know that hairstyles are also very important for girls?"

"I can't help but say it softly, but I'll add the rest of the sentence in my mind."

However, that last cut was really beautiful.

If it were nighttime, the evil spirit might not even have time to notice before its neck is severed by this silent blade.

Like a fleeting illusion, it is ephemeral and elusive.

There's no need to utter words of praise.

She's actually a little angry right now.

"Um, how about we call it a day?"

"No, you can't!"

"Shall we rest for a while and talk about it this afternoon?"

"No!"

"Insect's Breath·Dragonfly's Dance Compound Eyes Hexagon!"

Before Kiyokawa Izumi could find a reason, Kocho Shinobu's figure flashed like a phantom, and her short-range thrust was truly amazing—Kiyokawa Izumi was actually just a half-baked player. What he didn't know was that, according to the official guidebook, the speed of the woman in front of him was not the fastest among the nine pillars.

In addition, he had only met this one of the current Pillars, and Douma praised her speed as really fast, so he subconsciously thought that she was the fastest of the nine Pillars.

It's not a big problem, as long as you don't foolishly challenge the sound pillar to a one-on-one fight.

The Nichirin Blade seemed to swirl out six pale blue arcs of light, the interplay of blade light resembling the compound eyes of a dragonfly.

This is a six-hit combo performed in an instant.

"I can see through it!"

But I can't catch it!

Kiyokawa Izumi's expression remained unchanged, but his hands, gripping the Nichirin Blade, hesitated.

With these special eyes, one can understand the principle behind the move, but doesn't know how to counter it.

Judging from his existing moves, it's clear that he has no shortage of offensive techniques—his move "Night Raven Shadow" truly amazed Shinobu Kocho.

But that's all he has to do!

Unlike the Water Breathing technique, which is both offensive and defensive, he has no defensive moves or skills for quick dodging.

At this moment, there is no time to switch breathing techniques—even if one were to switch breathing techniques, could using water breathing techniques really block this attack?

That's a big question mark.

What should I do?

There seems to be no solution.

"Don't hit my face!!"

Faced with the choice between squeezing out potential and giving up, Kiyokawa Izumi chose to shout it out.

It's embarrassing, but there's nothing I can do about it.

He doesn't have moves like Brother Yiyong's Eleventh Form.

I've never seen it with these eyes, nor have I ever imitated it, so naturally I can't use it.

Fortunately, Shinobu Kocho stopped in time, only knocking him down.

With an elegant turn, Shinobu, who was half-lying on Kiyokawa Izumi, casually flicked her sword, and the sharp tip of the blade fell near Kiyokawa Izumi's face.

"Don't hit me in the face, I'm guilty, I confess!"

Kiyokawa Izumi coughed twice and said without hesitation.

He was undoubtedly very satisfied with the outcome of the battle.

When the most powerful strike is unleashed, the outcome of the battle is already decided—if you don't win then, you lose.

But it is not important.

Most importantly, the gains were substantial.

He had memorized Ninja Sister's thrusts and some of her moves.

You may not be able to imitate it perfectly, but you can selectively learn a part of it.

In addition, they also discovered their own shortcomings.

Therefore, he was still very satisfied with the result.

At this moment, there was no intention to cheat, no sudden flip-over, no forceful attempt to pin the other person down—if you can't match their speed, how could you not match their strength?

How much does this person weigh?

Using her own weight and strength, she could pin him down, and she probably wouldn't be able to break free.

"Admit defeat?"

Shinobu Kocho toyed with her slender Nichirin Blade, her tone somewhat dangerous.

"What if I disagree?"

"Um, well, please be careful when you turn the knife... please be very careful!"

Kiyokawa Izumi said somewhat cautiously.

If someone is half-pressing you down and turning a knife around on your body, it would be a lie to say you wouldn't be worried.

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

With her hair hanging down on both sides, it was no longer quite asymmetrical, and Kiyokawa Izumi looked away with a slightly guilty expression.

"The sky is so white!"
