Infinite: Start as a ghost

His entire face became pitted and uneven, which was extremely disgusting.

To be honest, his head looks more like a Zerg character.

“I have never used this form since I became a demon,” Kokushibo said. “Be proud, I will bring you glory in my strongest form.”

"Keep that honor to yourself," Jiang Jiu said with a smile. "I don't need it, and you can't do it anyway."

"Breathing of the Moon, Form Three, Aversion to the Moon, Erosion..."

At this point, Kokushibo began to unleash his true power, his full strength.

"Earth's Breath, Second Form, Earth Shattering and Sky Collapse..."

Jiang Jiu was not to be outdone and used her skills to clash head-on with him.

"Very good, you can actually hold your own against my complete form." Kokushibo said, "Try this move of mine again."

"Breath of the Moon, Fourteenth Form, Ferocious Transformation, Full Moon..."

"Evenly matched?" Jiang Jiu laughed: "Do you think that's anything difficult?"

"Earth Breathing, Form Four, Raging Earth Flow..."

The two exchanged fewer and fewer normal lines, and all they uttered were the names of their fighting techniques.

"Breathing of the Moon, Thirteenth Form, Straight Wheel, January..."

"Earth Breathing O Third Form O Earth Blessing Wheel..."

"Breathing of the Moon, Form Nine, Descending Moon, Connecting Faces..."

"Earth Breathing, Form Five, Super Rock-Heavy Earthly Lair..."

The moves and techniques clashed and interacted, creating waves of intense fluctuations.

To be honest, despite Jiang Jiu's feigned composure, he was actually a little flustered inside.

Because Kokushibo transformed.

It's not that I'm afraid he'll be too strong after transforming, but that I'm afraid he might accidentally see my face.

It's fortunate that we're in the dark and windy Forging Village, rather than in the Infinite City, where there's no bright light.

Otherwise, Jiang Jiuzhen was afraid he would make himself look so ugly that he would die.

However, perhaps Jiang Jiu was incredibly lucky, because Hei Shi Mou never noticed his appearance.

He also continuously absorbed the essence of the Breath of the Moon.

"The third move has already been used."

"The eighth move was also used."

"Hmm, my swordsmanship is still three moves short."

"Alright, I've pretty much figured out the principles of the breathing technique. I'll study it thoroughly after the battle ends."

After a long battle, neither of them could gain the upper hand.

At this point, Jiang Jiu had already mastered all of Heishi Mu's moves.

Jiang Jiu had to be careful not to lose sight of the tricks, otherwise he was worried that Jiang Jiu might discover his appearance at any moment.

Suddenly, Kokushibo looked up at the sky.

"It's almost dawn, shouldn't we decide the winner as soon as possible?" he said leisurely.

"You want to settle this?" Jiang Jiu suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Sure, if you can do it."

"Let's settle this with this final move," Kokushibo said. "It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight."

"Sure!" Jiang Jiu was overjoyed. "Go ahead and come."

Kokushibo, unaware of Jiang Jiu's abnormality, began preparing his strongest move.

"Secret Technique: Moon Breathing, Sixteenth Form: Moon Rainbow, Lonely Moon" He launched an attack, first targeting Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu smiled and changed his posture: "Secret Technique: Earth Breathing, Ninth Form, Law of Death..."

His skills have changed.

With Jiang Jiu's new skill, Kokushibo's moves were completely destroyed.

"What?" Kokushibo exclaimed in shock, "How did you suddenly become so much stronger?"

As he spoke, his body was cut into several pieces, and all the demon horns on his body were severed.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly become stronger?" Kokushibo asked, completely puzzled.

Jiang Jiu asked, "Do you know about the Breath of the Earth?"

Kokushibo had no idea, but he could make a judgment: "Judging from the name, it should be a branch of Rock Breathing."

“That’s right,” Jiang Jiu said. “Earth Breathing is a derivative breathing technique of Rock Breathing.”

"But my breath of the earth has two modes."

"What do you mean?"

“The first form is Earth Breathing,” Jiang Jiu said with a smile. “As for the second form, I call it Earth Breathing.”

"Earth...?" Kokushibo was bewildered. How could he know anything about this?

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Anyway, you're not going to live long, so why bother knowing these things?"

"Although I don't know what you're talking about, you want to kill me?" Kokushibo laughed. "That's probably not very likely."

Jiang Jiu expressionlessly drew the small Nichirin Blade and slammed it hard against the giant sword.

Instantly, the smaller Nichirin Blade shattered, and the giant blade turned a deep crimson.

Kokushibo's pupils contracted: "What is this?"

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "This is called the Crimson Blade. Although the Crimson Blade cannot make me stronger, it is a deadly threat to ghosts."

"Because the Crimson Blade is the Nichirin Blade that has fully unleashed the essence of the sun."

Chapter 104 Sunrise

Kokushibo, who was already at a disadvantage, was now even more unable to resist.

The cinnabar blade amplified the original pain several times over, making it almost unbearable for him.

The wound, which should have healed quickly, now shows signs of being slowed down.

"I remember now, my younger brother could also turn his sword red," Kokushibo said with some difficulty. "So, it was because of the essence of the sun?"

Looking at the excessively strong Jiang Jiu, he thought of his exceptionally powerful younger brother, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

That was his inner demon, and also the goal he wanted to achieve in his entire life.

But now, he has another inner demon, namely Jiang Jiu in front of him.

"Why, why are there beings stronger than me?" Kokushibo said unwillingly, "I was supposed to become the strongest person besides Yoriichi, I'm not reconciled."

"Secret Technique: Moon Breathing, Sixteenth Form: Moon Rainbow, Lonely Moon..."

In a moment of intense despair, he unleashed his final move.

"Secret Technique: Breath of the Earth, Form Nine, Law of Death..."

His answer was Jiang Jiu's strongest move.

To be honest, Jiang Jiu really likes the character Kokushibo. He is not only charismatic but also incredibly strong.

If he possessed Muzan Kibutsuji's body and could perfectly unleash the power of a demon, he would definitely be stronger than Muzan.

This is his assessment of Kokushibo.

While thinking, he sent Kokushibo flying.

However, although the Crimson Blade became more lethal to demons, if it did not remain inside their bodies, it only slowed down their recovery, and the effect was not significant enough for the Prime Minister.

Kokushibo refused to admit defeat and, relying on his strong regenerative abilities, charged forward recklessly time and time again, only to be repeatedly knocked away by Jiang.

"Ahhh!" he roared in frustration.

"Secret Technique: Moon Breathing - Final Form: Full Moon - Sun Piercing the Moon..."

Intense resentment, the oppressive feeling of centuries past, and repeated impulses led him to lose his mind in the end, but also enabled him to achieve a tremendous breakthrough.

"Secret Technique: Earth Breathing, Ninth Form, Law of Death" Jiang Jiu remained unchanged in the face of all changes, still using the same old moves.

The powerful collision resulted in a brief stalemate.

However, the difference in power between the two was too great. Although it was not destroyed as easily as before, it was ultimately no match for Jiang Jiu's ultimate technique.

"Why, why can't I defeat him even after completing the final move? Why!" He was defeated once again, and his despair intensified.

When did the gap between the two of them suddenly become so large?

Is breathing Earth really that different?

Jiang Jiu sneered, a hint of disdain in his heart.

No matter how beautiful the moon is, it is ultimately just a satellite of Earth.

The moon, ultimately, revolves around the Earth, with the Earth as its primary focus.

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"

"Secret Technique: Moon Breathing - Final Form: Full Moon - Sun Piercing the Moon..."

He used his final move again, and Jiang Jiu, without hesitation, knocked him away once more.

He flew high into the air and crashed down somewhere.

At this moment, a sliver of the sun's afterglow began to shine on the earth, illuminating both Heishimu and Jiang Jiu.

"Not good." Jiang Jiu's expression changed. He was so engrossed in the battle with Hei Si Mu that he completely forgot to keep track of time.

Actually, the main reason for this mistake was that it was the first time he had been locked in a stalemate with an opponent for so long.

He was now completely naked, without any attempt to cover himself, and had no time to care where Kokushibo had been sent flying. Instead, he quickly found a pile of ruins and hid there.

Unfortunately, Kokushibo flew in the direction where Tanjiro and the others were.
