Infinite: Start as a ghost

How could someone lose a head-on confrontation using the same skills?

How can this be?

Seeing Jiang Jiu's somewhat incomprehensible expression, Yoriichi Tsugikuni explained, "Although you have perfectly mastered the Breathing of the Sun, and although you have surpassed me in creating the true Thirteenth Form, I am the originator and the inventor."

"Your understanding of Sun Breathing is ultimately my technique, not yours."

He said with a laugh, "Then, please breathe carefully."

"Sun Breathing O Form O Waltz..."

Yoriichi Tsugikuni continued to use this starting stance, but Jiang Jiu felt her scalp tingle.

Because this move is even more powerful than the one before.

"He wasn't using his full strength just now?" Jiang Jiu analyzed while dodging. "No, he's gradually adapting to this new body."

"There's no other way." He roared, "Blood Demon Art: Mad Demon."

The sudden surge of power and speed overwhelmed Yoriichi Tsugikuni for a moment, catching him off guard.

Despite the suppression, Jiang Jiu ultimately failed to harm him.

Moreover, as Yoriichi Tsugikuni continues to adapt to his new body, Kang Jiu becomes increasingly passive.

"Is he really that strong?" Jiang Jiu said helplessly, "He really is the strongest guy in a thousand years."

"A transparent world".

The two seemed to share an unseen understanding, simultaneously unfolding a transparent world.

The two were moving faster and faster, so fast that even the pillar could no longer see their figures.

Unexplained holes kept appearing in the open space, and the surrounding trees suddenly broke for no apparent reason.

Before they knew it, the two had been fighting for more than half an hour and still could not determine a winner.

"It's unbelievable," Jiang Jiu said. "I thought there was a limit to how strong you were, but I never expected you to be this strong."

“Likewise,” Yoriichi Tsugikuni said. “Thanks to this body, I have almost limitless stamina.”

The two shifted their bodies slightly and then separated.

Jiang Jiu said, "You are very strong..."

Yoriichi Tsugikuni replied, "You too."

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "But if that's all there is to it, then you will be the one who loses next."

"You haven't used your full strength yet?" Yoriichi Tsugikuni was taken aback for a moment, then gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Yeah, times have changed."

"I'm old, and I've been invincible for far too long. This long period of time has made me a little arrogant, so arrogant that I thought it was impossible for anyone to surpass me in the future."

"So arrogant that he thought... I was the only one who hadn't used my full strength."

This last sentence stunned Jiang Jiu: "You haven't used your full strength yet?"

Tsugikuni nodded: "Yes, I only used this move once against Muzan Kibutsuji. I wasn't proficient at it then, so I couldn't kill him in one move. I regret it very much."

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "He's already dead, killed by me."

"He's dead?" Yoriichi Tsugikuni glanced at Jiang Jiu in surprise. "Then why are you, a demon, still alive?"

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "Same as always, I'll tell you if you beat me."

"Alright." Yoriichi Tsugikuni buried the question in his heart and focused on the battle before him.

"Transparent...time and space."

"What?" Jiang Jiu exclaimed in surprise, "There's another realm above the Transparent World?"

“Yes, this is my trump card. It’s your turn,” Yoriichi Tsugikuni said.

Jiang Jiu suddenly realized why his attacks could last for hundreds of years in the original story—it was because this move could penetrate time and space!

He then realized that there was another, unseen road ahead of what he thought was the end of the road.

"Blood Demon Art O Evolution (Stage 2)"

His body began to grow larger; the first stage made him grow half a meter longer, and the second stage made him grow nearly two meters.

His current body is a towering 4 meters tall.

"Is this your trump card?" Yoriichi Tsugikuni said. "That's right. You're a demon, so your trump card is naturally Blood Demon Art."

As he spoke, he charged forward again and engaged Jiang Jiu in a fierce battle.

But Jiang Jiu curled the corners of his mouth: "My trump cards... are not limited to this."

Suddenly, his swordplay changed, and he switched to a completely new sword technique.

"Star Breathing O Second Form O Star Speed".

Chapter 147 The End of Everything

Jiang Jiu used a new breathing technique to force Yoriichi Tsugikuni to retreat in one move.

"What kind of breathing technique is this?" Jiguo Yuanyi was very curious.

"Don't you think the sword intent of this move is very similar to the Breath of the Sun?" Jiang Jiu said with a smile.

"Hmm, it's almost identical, like a combination of Sun Breathing and Wind Breathing," Yoriichi Tsugikuni said. "Is this also a sword technique you created?"

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "There's more, watch carefully."

"Earth Breathing, Sixth Form, Earth Cutting Back..."

"Sun Breathing, Fourth Form, Illusionary Sunburst..."

Yoriichi Tsugikuni received the attack: "This is... it seems to be a combination of Sun Breathing and Rock Breathing."

"I guess so," Jiang Jiu smiled. "And then..."

"Breath of the Moon, Eleventh Form, Calamity, Twin Goddesses of the Moon..."

Yoriichi's expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged: "How do you know how to use my brother's swordsmanship?"

"I learned it by stealing it," Jiang Jiu laughed. "By the way, Hei Shi Mou also died at my hands."

"Kuroshibo?" Yoriichi Tsugikuni sighed. "What a familiar yet unfamiliar name. Did I ultimately fail to kill him back then?"

"Didn't you see your brother underground?" Jiang Jiu asked, puzzled.

He was genuinely puzzled. Logically, they should meet again after death, so why couldn't they?

"When did your memory stop?" Jiang Jiu asked.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni smiled mysteriously: "You said you would only answer my questions if I defeated you, so if you want to know the answers, you should also defeat me."

"Okay." Jiang Jiu nodded; this was a fair statement.

"Sun Breathing O Form O Waltz..."

"Earth's Breath, Eighth Form, Earth's Inch, Another Place..."

"Sun Breathing, Second Form, Azure Heaven..."

"Breath of the Moon, Fifth Form, Lunar Calamity Vortex..."

"Sun Breathing, Third Form, Blazing Red Mirror..."

"Star Breathing, Fourth Form, Starry Sky..."

Yoriichi's attacks remained unchanged, proceeding in his own order.

Jiang Jiu kept changing her moves, but for some reason she couldn't break through Yoriichi Tsugikuni's offensive.

"Sun Breathing, Form Nine, Sunset Turns Around..."

"Breathing of the Moon, Sixteenth Form, Moonbow, Lonely Moon..."

"Sun Breathing O Tenth Form O Radiant Light..."

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

Yoriichi Tsugikuni fought with increasing ferocity, never using his full strength except when facing Kokushibo and Muzan.

Perhaps it's not that he can't develop new breathing techniques, but rather that he lacks an equally matched opponent, an enemy who allows him to fully unleash his potential.

And now, Jiang Jiu has appeared.

Yoriichi's sword was getting faster and faster, and so was Jiang Jiu's.

"Sun Breathing, Eleventh Form, Dragon Head Dance of the Sun Halo..."

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

"Sun Breathing, Twelfth Form, Flame Dance..."

"Secret Technique: Star Breathing, Ninth Form: Star and Moon Intertwined..."

The first exhilarating battle made me wonder if Yoriichi Tsugikuni had awakened something within me.

Suddenly, he raised his hands and shouted out a line that was very similar to what Jiang Jiu had said before.

"Secret Technique: Breath of the Sun, Final Form: Reincarnation..."

Jiang Jiu is the Thirteenth Type, while he is the Final Type.

Both involve reincarnation, but his reincarnation is different from Jiang Jiu's.

Because he had truly experienced reincarnation, having temporarily returned from the brink of death.

He has a rich life spanning over sixty years and over sixty years of experience using "Sun Breathing".

Jiang Jiu was far inferior to him.

Just as the final strike was about to land, Jiang Jiu remained calm and composed, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

His reincarnation technique was no match for the Sun Breathing technique, but he still possessed a breathing method that surpassed the Sun Breathing technique, a true ancestral-level breathing technique.

"The beginning is breath, the end is form, the sun, moon, earth, and time."

"when……"

The Nichirin Blade and the Oni-Gar Blade clashed violently, and both blades snapped in two.
