Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

With both feet off the ground and half-suspended in the air, it's difficult to generate power in this posture.

The world seemed to be slowed down, and my slightly aching brain started working at high speed.

Wasn't it expected that the deal wouldn't be successfully severed?

calm down!

It is truly remarkable that Kiyokawa Izumi was able to maintain his composure under such dire circumstances.

"I could clearly see the arm coming at me, but I couldn't dodge it."

"Without any leverage, it's impossible to effectively dodge in mid-air."

The first half of the Nichirin Blade was already deeply embedded in the demon's flesh and blood, and it would be difficult to pull it out in the short term.

"This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!"

In less than a breath, Kiyokawa Izumi had made her decision.

He suddenly exerted force to the right, using his body weight to forcibly break the Nichirin Blade.

Due to inertia, the moment the blade broke, he also fell to the right.

Using this move, he successfully dodged most of the attacks—although the fall to the ground was quite embarrassing.

There was no extra time for him to cry out in pain or for him to adjust; almost the instant he landed, he rolled backward violently.

Sure enough, several more arms emerged from the ground.

Successfully predicting the Hand Demon's attack is not something to be happy about; it all comes at a price.

He broke his own Nichirin Blade with his own hands!

If you can't pull it out, then break it.

This decisiveness surprised even the Hand Ghost.

For a swordsman, breaking his own weapon with his own hands is undoubtedly ridiculous.

Without the Nichirin Blade, wouldn't you, as a weak human, be certain to die without any power to resist?

Kiyokawa Izumi quickly stood up, creating some distance between them.

"About a third of the blade is broken off. Fortunately, it should still be usable, if not completely useless."

"I'm severely exhausted; my forehead and eye sockets are aching from overuse of my eyes."

But there's good news too—I've finally mastered the breathing technique!

Slightly adjust your breathing. In this world where breathing techniques exist, breathing can accomplish many unimaginable things.

By consciously controlling his breathing rhythm, Kiyokawa Izumi has entered a state of fully concentrated breathing.

Furthermore, the forced increase in oxygen intake by the lungs leads to overexpansion of the lungs, causing mild discomfort.

As excess oxygen circulated throughout her body via her bloodstream, Kiyokawa Izumi even felt her body temperature rise. She could almost hear her heart pounding rapidly in her ears.

My free left hand gently stroked my forehead, and I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I really felt that my body temperature had risen quite noticeably.

It shouldn't be an awakened mark, right?

It can't be just a cold, can it?

Without time to think, Kiyokawa Izumi noticed that the Hand Demon had pulled out the half-blade that was embedded deep in the top of his neck.

Most importantly, the wound did not heal at a speed visible to the naked eye; instead, faint purplish-black lines appeared.

Perhaps it was the toxins remaining on the knife that had the effect.

The Hand Demon's astonishing regenerative ability was suppressed.

With just one more strike, Kiyokawa Izumi was confident he could sever its neck.

The Hand Demon seemed to realize this as well, and more of its arms reached out to cover the wound.

The wisdom of ghosts should not be underestimated at all!

There was no time to recover; things had come to this point, and Kiyokawa Izumi, with no way out, stepped forward.

All aspects of physical fitness have improved significantly.

Unfortunately, he could vaguely sense that the Water Breathing technique didn't quite resonate with him.

"Full concentration!" 』

"Water Breathing - Third Form: Flowing Dance!"

Kiyokawa Izumi suddenly erupted, whipping up fallen leaves from the muddy ground. Thick arms stretched out from in front, on both sides, and on the ground, trying to stop his advance.

Faced with this situation, he did not hesitate for long and directly used the third move—he had not mastered all the moves, let alone the eleventh move created by his senior brother Yiyong.

But I did eventually master the first three techniques.

With the help of these eyes, they can accurately dodge most attacks.

He did not draw his sword lightly unless absolutely necessary.

In an instant, Kiyokawa Izumi was in front of the Hand Demon once again.

Just then, four severed arms fell to the ground behind him.

This is his third move!

Like a continuous flow of water, it can generate slashes from any direction without the slightest pause.

Water Breathing - First Form: Water Surface Slash!

Hand Demon's pupils contracted slightly, somewhat surprised by Kiyokawa Izumi's speed. Several more arms emerged, attacking from multiple directions, blocking his attempt to jump.

Cut horizontally!

A sharp glint of light flashed by, and before anyone could react, Kiyokawa Izumi had already leaped into the air.

Although he blocked most of the attacks with the First Form, it was only a horizontal slash after all, and the interception range was limited, and the Hand Demon had an unusually large number of arms.

Facing the remaining ones, Kiyokawa Izumi neither dodged nor avoided them, his fairly handsome face bearing a hint of madness.

"Type Two Waterwheel!"

His body spun in the air, his muscles bulged, and his blood seemed to be burning.

It cannot escalate into a protracted war, nor can it be given time to recover.

Let's use this final move to decide the outcome.

If we delay any longer, my body and eyes will not be able to take it.

"bring it on!!"

Kiyoshi Izumi cried out silently.
