Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Kiyokawa Izumi's ability to hold his own against Sanemi does not necessarily mean that his swordsmanship has surpassed Sanemi's or that his strength has greatly improved.

It's just that by using the Fourth Form, and by leveraging the enhanced five senses, he can make up for his deficiencies in swordsmanship, strength, and speed.

Even so, he still had a very difficult time.

Kiyokawa Izumi may lack strength and speed, but that doesn't mean he's slow at swinging his sword, nor does it mean his reaction speed is far inferior to the other Pillars.

It's just that some of the basic values ​​are at the bottom.

The five senses domain built around the Sharingan, while not as powerful as the Transcendental Realm, is, in his opinion, absolutely no less powerful than the Sound Pillar's spectrum.

Not to mention its endurance, it's even above average.

Memorizing enemy attack rhythms, which involves reading their attack patterns and converting them into musical notes, essentially requires a lot of preparation time.

Using only the Sharingan, Kiyokawa Izumi can also analyze and dissect an enemy's movements, achieving a similar effect.

The "Fourth Form" takes a holistic view of the entire situation.

Even without looking, he knew where his senior brother Yiyong's knife would land.

It can be used with the scabbard to instantly neutralize it, buying time for the forward-pressing Shimi.

Unfortunately, he couldn't turn the tide in the blink of an eye.

Taking on two opponents at once was still too difficult for him.

It can be defended against, but that's about it.

With the intense mental and physical exertion, coupled with not having rested all night, Kiyokawa Izumi felt a little dizzy—the Fourth Form ultimately could not be maintained for long. If even using this move could not break the deadlock, it meant that he would be out of options.

Currently, the Wind and Water Pillars can still fight at full strength, but he can no longer maintain his peak condition.

At most, he can withstand three or five more moves before he is defeated.

Compared to his previous arrogance, Kiyokawa Izumi is much more low-key now—he has reconstructed his cognitive domain, completed the puzzle, and dares to take on two opponents at once.

Now, Kiyokawa Izumi coughed lightly, "Drawing your sword is against the team rules, everyone calm down."

"?"

Sanemi, who was really into the fight, wanted to ask, "Didn't you say you were going to fight me and that annoying guy at the same time?"

That's it?

The puzzle is complete; time to unleash the full force.

He was out of sorts, acting timidly and hesitantly.

"Ahem, Mr. Giyuu didn't mean any harm. He just heard that you like to eat hagi mochi, so he specially prepared it for you... He's just not very good at talking. Um, let's calm down and put the Nichirin Blade away first."

Kiyokawa Izumi said with a sincere expression.

Hearing this, Tomioka Giyuu, whose mind was filled with countless questions, still obediently put away his Nichirin Blade.

The thoughtful senior brother even picked up Kiyokawa Izumi's scabbard.

Why did Sanemi hit me? And why did Kiyokawa Izumi hit me?

"Did I do something wrong?"

That's what he thought in his heart, but he said it out loud.

"Goodbye!"

Giyu Tomioka silently turned and left, leaving everyone puzzled.

Especially when he said this with a cold face, it gave people a feeling of being looked down upon.

Just as Sanemi was about to sheathe his sword, his expression turned irritable again—what does this guy mean?

"?"

Kiyokawa Izumi was also somewhat confused.

You're calling for the cessation of violence, and then you just say goodbye. What are you trying to say?

Could you say just a couple more words?

Kiyokawa Izumi grabbed Giyuu's sleeve, staring at his silent expression, unable to decipher what he was thinking.

Actually, what my senior brother was thinking was...

They all hit me. Is it because I did something wrong?

Or should I leave first?

To avoid another fight.

"Anyway, let's eat the hagi mochi first!"

Kiyokawa Izumi sighed softly, because he realized that the irritable Sanemi was also preparing to leave.

These pillars are really not cute at all!

The irritable Sanemi was about to leave in a huff, and his expression was indeed a bit frightening, but Kiyokawa Izumi very familiarly grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't rush off. Let's check on the team members' training later and see if they've improved."

Let's also talk about the Upper Moons... The former Sound Pillar became a Pillar long before us, so he might know some information that we don't.

Don't you have even the slightest interest?

When she grabbed this person and met his fierce expression, Kiyokawa Izumi remained completely calm.

They even thoughtfully offered a way out.

Sanemi originally wanted to move his wrists, but Kiyokawa Izumi was too annoying to be entangled with her—it was indeed inappropriate to use a knife, so he would fight bare-handed!

This guy's demeanor just now was also quite intriguing; it was as if he saw through everything.

It was clearly their first time facing off.

After a slight hesitation, Sanemi finally didn't rush to leave, but he didn't forget to say, "You're too gentle. Those good-for-nothings haven't made any progress in all these days!"

As for the Upper Moon demons, none of them will be spared, no matter how many they are!

"This generation of Pillars each has their own distinct personality!"

The elderly bystanders couldn't help but think to themselves, and then they couldn't help but recall their own youth.

"The Upper Moon isn't so easy to deal with. Be very careful if you encounter one!"

Actually, even the elderly Mingzhu didn't know much.

But this is just an excuse, merely a reason to keep Sanemi.
