Demon Slayer: After raising Shinobu, I died in front of her.

Yu Sui Tengen's twin swords were actually blocked in mid-air by Ling Chuan Che with one hand!

Yu Sui Tian Yuan's pupils shrank sharply, as if he had seen a ghost!

How can it be!

He was extremely confident in his strength, even able to fight against Himejima Gyoumei with his power. Moreover, he was using dual swords, yet Ling Chuan Che caught the force of both hands with just one!

"Sound Pillar brat." Ling Chuanche slightly raised his head, revealing a calm, almost indifferent face. "Didn't you eat?"

"Breath of the Azure Sea, Form One: Broken Wave!"

boom!

An overwhelming and terrifying force erupted from the blade. Yu Sui Tian Yuan felt his arms go numb and was thrown backward as if he had been hit by a giant wave.

His hair stood on end, and he instinctively sensed the threat of death.

He looked at the expressionless man in the distance, and a chill suddenly ran through him.

No! He really wanted to kill me!

In that instant, two figures attacked from the flanks simultaneously!

"Wind Breathing - Fourth Form - Rising Sandstorm!" Shinazugawa Sanemi suddenly leaped up from below, his body spinning rapidly in the air like a raging tornado sweeping upwards. Five sharp wind blades intertwined to form a net of death, heading straight for Ayakawa Tetsu's lower body.

"Water Breathing - Fourth Form - Tide Slash!" Sabito leaped into the air from the other side, his body undulating like waves, using the momentum of his rotation to channel all his power into his blade, and slashed fiercely toward Ayakawa Tetsu's shoulder and neck!

A fierce wind and a raging tide, two completely different forces, attacked simultaneously from two tricky angles, blocking all of Ling Chuanche's escape routes.

However, faced with the combined attack of these three pillars, Ling Chuan Che merely smiled and did not stop his actions in the slightest.

Facing the oncoming storm, he suddenly pressed his wrist down at an incredible angle, the blade drawing a shrill silver arc in the air.

"Broken Waves!"

boom!!!

A deafening explosion rang out!

A terrifying shockwave spread wildly outwards from Ling Chuanche, instantly stirring up dust and creating a cloud of smoke.

In the next instant, the three figures simultaneously retreated rapidly!

Sanemi Shinazugawa's feet carved two deep furrows in the ground, and he slid back five or six meters before barely managing to regain his footing.

The rabbit twisted its waist forcefully in mid-air, staggered two steps when it landed, and its arms were still trembling uncontrollably.

Yu Sui Tianyuan was directly blasted away by that brute force, tumbling in the air before barely managing to stand, his hands already split and bleeding.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Ling Chuanche remained standing in the same spot, not even the hem of his clothes was ruffled.

He twirled his Nichirin Blade with a flourish, tilted his head slightly, and spoke in a detached tone as if he were commenting on a trivial matter:

"too weak."

Everyone around was stunned.

"What's going on?!" Kuang Jin couldn't believe his eyes, his mouth agape.

"One strike... he actually forced three Pillars back with just one strike?! Is this the strength of Lord Cangzhu?!"

The other team members also looked like they had seen a ghost, their faces full of shock.

So much has happened in the past year. Everyone has become stronger, and everyone has become more confident because of their improved strength.

This confidence emboldened them to even contradict Ling Chuanche when he returned, because they felt that their strength had caught up with, or even surpassed, Ling Chuanche's.

But now, Ling Chuanche shattered all their illusions with just one strike.

Chapter 72 3v1

"Heh... So this is Cangzhu."

Uzui Tengen looked down at his slightly trembling hands. The tingling sensation from the base of his thumbs did not make him back down. Instead, a long-lost, exhilarating feeling of excitement surged through his body like an electric current.

Previously, I was hesitant to use my full strength due to concerns, but now it seems that I don't need to worry about hurting this person at all.

The next moment, his muscles suddenly bulged, and he assumed a diving posture like a wild beast about to pounce on its prey: "Then let me make a grand spectacle of myself!"

boom!

He stomped hard, creating a shallow crater in the ground beneath his feet, accompanied by a deafening roar.

The expressions of the onlookers changed slightly. The Sound Pillar was actually this strong!

The afterimage tore through the air, and Yu Sui Tian Yuan instantly appeared in front of Ling Chuan Che.

The two Nichirin Blades in his hands transformed into an impenetrable silver storm, moving at a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to perceive; all that could be seen were the dazzling trails of light they left in the air!

Boom boom boom!

Each clash of blades was accompanied by blinding sparks and a muffled roar.

Faced with this relentless onslaught, Ling Chuanche had no choice but to switch from wielding the knife with one hand to two.

"Using both hands now?!" Uzui Tengen grinned, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "Looks like I've made you take this seriously!"

"Seriously?" Ling Chuanche's handsome face remained remarkably calm. "I don't need to be serious about dealing with you."

Crunch!

Several veins bulged on Yu Suitian's forehead as he gritted his teeth and said, "This is infuriating! Then I'll have to offend Cangzhu!"

"Sound Breathing, Form of Five, Melodious String Resonance!"

He held nothing back any longer, and his twin blades began to spin rapidly, pulled by the chains on his wrists.

Sound Breathing is derived from Thunder Breathing. Its moves are wide and powerful, and combined with his superhuman strength and the extreme explosiveness brought by his ninja background, he brings his physical advantages to the peak!

In an instant, a dazzling field of silver light intertwined to form a magnificent thunderstorm, and the ear-piercing sonic boom seemed to tear the surrounding air apart!

Off the field, Kanao and Makomo could no longer see the action on the field; all they could see were flashing blades and flying dust.

Shinobu and Kuroki could only barely make out the two intertwined afterimages, while Pillars like Kanae were intently watching the scene, even unconsciously softening their breathing.

Shinazugawa Sanemi clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh: "It seems that the gap between me and Uzui Tengen is still quite large..."

He knew his strength was inferior to his teacher's, but judging from this battle, even the veteran Pillar Uzui Tengen was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

However, he is confident that given more time, he will be able to overtake them.

"The movements were too fast; it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand!" Kuang Jin clenched his fist, his face filled with shock.

Ren raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, the teacher has a greater advantage."

Kuang Jin turned his head in confusion: "You can tell?"

"Do we even need to look?" Ren's gaze followed the composed figure on the field.

As if to confirm her words, at the very moment when the old power of Yu Sui Tian Yuan had just disappeared and the new power had not yet been generated, Ling Chuan Che's figure flashed strangely and directly cut into his inner circle.

'Not good!' Alarm bells rang in Uzui Tengen's mind. He tried to pull away, but found that a hand like an iron clamp had firmly gripped his wrist.

"ended."

Before he could finish speaking, Ling Chuanche ducked to avoid a blade slashing towards him, and then kicked Yu Suitianyuan hard in the chest.

boom!

Uzui Tengen felt as if he had been hit in the chest by a battering ram, and he was sent flying backward, breaking off a tree branch before finally coming to a stop on a thick tree trunk.

He clutched his chest in pain, a bitter smile creeping across his lips: "Damn it... so close."

Ling Chuanche casually twirled his sword, tilting his head slightly as he looked at him: "I was just playing around with you, how come it's 'almost'?"

"Damn it! Again!" Unable to bear this humiliation, Uzui Tengen stood up, ready to fight again.

"You should rest for a bit." Shinazugawa Sanemi strode out, his sharp eyes fixed on Ryougawa Toru. "Master, your disciple wishes to learn from you."

Lingchuan Tetsu looked at him without saying a word, but slowly raised the Nichirin Blade in his hand, pointed it at him, and then pointed at Sabito who was silent to the side: "Come on, let's do it together."

Sanemi was stunned for a moment, and then an unnamed fire shot straight to the top of his head!

What does "come together" mean?

Is it because they think he's too weak on his own?!

Sako scratched his head, sighed helplessly, and walked out: "Alright..."

"Get out of my way! I'll do it myself!" Sanemi roared, ignoring Sabito completely. His muscles tensed, and he pounced on Lingchuan Tetsu like a tiger descending a mountain.

He was eager to prove himself, so he went all out from the start!

However, no matter how fierce his attacks were, the master's expression remained as still as a stagnant pool, without the slightest fluctuation.

'I still can't get you to take this seriously?!' Sanemi gritted his teeth, filled with resentment.

"You've forgotten everything I taught you?"

A cold voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Sanemi's pupils constricted sharply, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Ling Chuanche appeared behind him like a ghost at some point, and the gleaming Nichirin Blade was mercilessly slashing towards his neck!

'Oh no! My master thinks I'm a ghost! He's going to cut my throat!'

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Sanemi instinctively twisted his waist.

"Water Breathing - Second Form - Waterwheel!"

At the critical moment, the hawk descended from the sky and precisely deflected Ling Chuanche's blade.

"Are you alright, Sanemi?" Sabito quickly pulled him away.

"Hmph, it's none of your business!" Sanemi retorted stubbornly, turning his head away.

Sabito was already used to his personality and didn't care. Instead, she looked at Ling Chuanche with a serious expression: "It seems that Senior Brother's strength is already far ahead of ours. If we don't treat him as a real enemy and fight to the death, we have no chance of winning."

"I know what to do without you telling me." Sanemi took a deep breath and gripped the hilt of the sword tightly again.

But he felt a bitter taste in his mouth, because he had just treated his master as an enemy!

Just then, Uzui Tengen, twisting his aching neck, strode up behind the two and grinned, saying, "Lord Cangzhu shouldn't mind adding another enemy, right?"

The young ninja, standing some distance away, frowned and couldn't help but complain, "I mind! Of course I mind! Three against one, have you no shame?!"
