Kokushibo originally thought that the royal family of the Warring States period had few talents, and even if Xu Fu formed the Ghostly Army, the army would be a motley crowd and would not be of great use. However, he did not expect that the strength of this army exceeded his imagination.

Judging from the equipment and quality of the army in front of them, even if this army was not composed of evil spirits, they would be invincible on the battlefield. Not to mention that this army itself was composed of evil spirits who were not afraid of swords and spears!

Such an army was almost the most terrifying force in the world at that time. Not to mention at that time, even now in the world, there are few countries that can match it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the figure in front of him.

Yunyi, have you ever really faced such an army before?

Did you really defeat such a formidable opponent?

If this is true, then the gap between you and me is much greater than I thought?

Even if I turned into a demon and spent hundreds of years, I still couldn't get close to you.

Because I don’t even know your true strength?

Could it be that I have never seen your back?

Just when Kokushibo was lost in thought, the back of Tsugikoku Yoriichi suddenly moved.

He rushed forward. Facing 10,000 well-trained soldiers and 10,000 demons who were not afraid of life and death, Tsugumi Yoshiichi, a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, rushed forward without hesitation.

That back showed no fear, no cowardice, no hesitation, only the same firmness as always.

Just like the Demon Slayer Corps who are fighting desperately forward.

Tsugumi Yoshiichi's back was very fast, almost as fast as it could be.

But at the same time, his steps were light, as light as a feather.

With such fast and light steps, Tsugukuni Yoshiichi's back was floating on the waves of the Arisu River. Just like a stone skipping on water, he took a few steps lightly on the Arisu River, but the Master of Ten Thousand Demons on the opposite side did not react at all.

At this moment, the scarlet Sun Blade in Ji Guoyuan's hand moved.

Kokushibo saw Tsugikoku Yoriichi floating in the air above the water like a god. Thousands of flames suddenly ignited around him, illuminating the Arisu River in the dark night as if it were daytime, and burning the river water under his feet until it boiled.

"Breathing of the Sun, Form 18, Amaterasu!"

Amaterasu!

It was not until this moment that Kokushibo suddenly realized why the eighteenth form of the Sun Breathing Technique was called Amaterasu.

It should be noted that Amaterasu is not an ordinary god. In legend, she is the god of the sun. She is the ancestor of the royal family and the source of the royal divinity. The emperor of Izumo claims to be a descendant of Amaterasu, and at this moment, Yoriichi Tsugikoku actually displayed a sword skill called Amaterasu.

He wants to use the name of Amaterasu to wipe out this group of royals who call themselves descendants of the sun!

The flames rising into the sky filled the surrounding fields. The originally well-organized army of ghosts saw the shocking sword skills on the opposite side that were like the rising sun, and everyone's face showed fear.

In the firelight, Jiguo Yuan drew his sword, and a crack as if cut by a knife or an axe suddenly appeared on the originally flat ground, and a new tributary suddenly appeared on the surging Arisu River.

In front of Ji Guoyuan's sword skills that could split mountains and rocks, the originally well-organized and formidable army of ghosts was annihilated by Ji Guoyuan's swords one by one. It was as if the blazing flames of the sun had fallen to the earth, and as if the golden crow in the sky had suppressed the universe.

Such sword skills and such power are simply incredible.

Kokushibo originally thought that this battle between one man and ten thousand demons was a display of Tsugumi Yoshiichi's skills and endurance. He would rely on his gorgeous swordsmanship and agility to slowly wear down the ten thousand demons on the opposite side. But he never expected that this battle would be just a one-sided massacre!

So this is the real Yoriichi Tsugikoku?

Is this the true power of my brother?

One sword splits mountains and rivers, one sword suppresses all ghosts!

In the flames, the back of Tsugikoku Yoriichi was seen waving the Nichirin sword in his hand. Every swing of the sword killed hundreds of demons. In Kokushibo's ears, there were the wailing sounds of demons. This made Kokushibo, who was already afraid of Tsugikoku Yoriichi and now was a demon, also feel afraid.

Just as he was feeling fearful, he was surprised to find that the man opposite him, who had only shown him his back, suddenly turned around. It was a face that looked almost identical to his own, except that it was full of the Demon Slayer Corps' murderous intent against the evil spirits, without any of the sadness and tears that he had when he last saw him.

At this time, Yoriichi Tsugakuni is no longer his younger brother, he is just a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps.

At this time, Jigoku Yansheng was no longer his brother, he was just a man-eating Kokushibo.

But then, Tsugikoku Yoriichi turned his head again. Following his brother's line of sight, Kokushibo saw the figure fleeing in a panic. He was wearing a luxurious dress and a tall crown. He was the locust that Xu Fu had killed during the Warring States Period. As an evil ghost who had been secretly planning everything, Xu Fu was so frightened and embarrassed at this moment.

Even though Xufu's strength was far superior to Muzan Kibutsuji's, he had no choice but to flee in front of Tsugikoku Yoriichi's red sun blade surrounded by fire. Then, Kokushibo saw his brother chasing Xufu and his back gradually disappeared. Kokushibo himself also fell into thought.

Can I really fight against such a person as Yoriichi Tsugakuni?

Is it really possible for me to catch up with such a person as Yoriichi Tsugumi?

Just as he was in this state of self-doubt, the illusions around him gradually disappeared, and Shinobu Kocho's cough brought Kokushibo back to reality.

It turned out that everything that had just happened was an illusion performed by Shinobu Kocho using the Sharingan. The scene in the illusion was the figure of a certain Yoriichi Tsugikoku in the countless demon slayer worlds observed by Uchiha Izumi.

"Is this the strength of Yoriichi at his peak?"

Butterfly Shinobu nodded and said:

"Yes."

"Did he kill Xu Fu?"

"No." Shinobu Kocho shook her head.

"Senior Yoriichi didn't know that Xu Fu was a ghost possessed by the Heavenly Locust. He thought that everything would be over after killing the Heavenly Locust. But he didn't know that Xu Fu, who was possessed by the Heavenly Locust, escaped. However, it was also because of Senior Yoriichi that Xu Fu's strength was greatly reduced. So until now, he can only possess Prince Arisugawamiya instead of directly possessing the Heavenly Locust."

"So that's it..."

Hearing that his brother had finally failed, Kokushibo actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly felt that although his brother was powerful, he was not a god after all. As long as he was not a god, he had the possibility of defeating the opponent. So, Shinobu Kocho heard Kokushibo say with a little excitement:

"In other words, as long as I can slaughter an army of tens of thousands of people like Yoriichi, and then kill all the high-ranking members of the royal family, I will be considered to have surpassed Yoriichi?"

Hearing that Kokushibo finally said what she wanted him to do, Kocho Shinobu nodded with relief and said:

"good."

"The armies of this era are far more powerful than those of the Warring States period, and the power held by the royal family of this era is far more powerful than Xu Fu. If you can really kill an army of tens of thousands of people and then slaughter all the royal family, you will definitely be stronger than Tsugikuni Yoshiichi."

At the end, Shinobu Kocho's words were full of temptation:

"Even in the history books of the future, people will only remember you, not Tsugarukuni Yoriichi."

Chapter 171 Antibody Serum

Shinobu Kocho's plan was to kill someone with a borrowed knife. She wanted to use the evil demon Kokushibo to deal with the high-ranking officials of Xiaozi. Kokushibo knew this very well, but he didn't care at all. Because for Kokushibo, as long as he could surpass Yoriichi, nothing else mattered.

So after learning the truth from Shinobu Kocho, Kokushibo walked into the tributary of the Arisugawa River and let the cold water wet his clothes. He stood in the river, feeling the traces left by Yoriichi Tsugakuin hundreds of years ago, and constantly simulating the sword of Yoriichi Tsugakuin at his peak in his mind.

Time passed slowly in Kokushibo's perception. Even though Shinobu Kocho had already left the Arisu River, Kokushibo was unaware of it.

Finally, the bright moon in the sky gradually sank to the west, and a hint of paleness appeared in the eastern sky.

It's now!

The big sun in the eastern sky also jumped out of the horizon, and the sunlight instantly penetrated the entire tributary.

Feeling that the time had come, Kokushibo's eyes suddenly opened and the long sword at his waist was unsheathed angrily.

At this moment, with the help of the sunlight at dawn, Kokushibo finally saw the figure of his brother in the blur. He was in the light, the Sun Blade in his hand carried the warmth of the sun, the feathers and earrings on his body swayed in the wind, and the Sun Breathing Technique carried the power of the creation of the world, slashing straight at his neck.

Stab it!

This is the sound of the long sword in Kokushibo's hand cutting through the air.

It was also the sound in the fantasy that Yoriichi Tsugakuni's Nichirin sword cut off Kokushibo's neck.

As the sunlight shone through the tributary and soaked his cold body, Kokushibo felt the same feeling as hundreds of years ago. At that time, he was just like now, powerless in front of his brother. However, the familiar feeling did not make Kokushibo feel disappointed. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and the blood in his body even boiled because of it.

……

Just as the sun was rising, Shinobu Kocho in the distance looked back in the direction of Kokushibo.

Can this guy really reach the level of Yoriichi Tsugakuni?

In fact, the history between Jigoku Yoriichi and Xu Fu was slowly deduced by Kocho Shinobu after she recently gained some insights into the Star Breathing Method and the Taiqing School's Louguan Dao Kungfu. In the past, Kocho Shinobu didn't know how strong Jigoku Yoriichi was at his peak. She even felt that the strength of Shenzhou masters such as Zhao Shixia was only comparable to Jigoku Yoriichi.

But now, the strength of Tsugakuni Yoriichi at his peak is almost the same as that of the thousand-year-old ghosts like Li Shimin and Judas. Even in the Naruto world, Tsugakuni Yoriichi can be called a Kage-level strongman, and his comprehensive strength is not inferior to that of the demigod Hanzo.

So even if Kokushibo burned his own vitality as a demon and gained powerful strength in a short period of time, Shinobu Kocho did not think that Kokushibo could reach the level of Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

But even so, Shinobu Kocho would not be too disappointed.

After all, Kokushibo was just a casual pawn dropped by Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu Kocho knew from the beginning that if she wanted to fight against the high-ranking officials of the Little Days and prevent the future war with Shenzhou, she could only rely on her own strength. Only by becoming stronger in the Demon Slayer World could she reverse the course of history.

So after leaving the Arisu River, Shinobu Kocho returned to Mt. Sagiri, said hello to Tanjiro Kamado and Sakonji Urokodaki, and then continued to perfect the Star Breathing Technique.

In this way, it took more than half a month for Shinobu Kocho to improve the power of the Star Breathing Technique by relying on the insights gained from the battle with Kokushibo. Then she said goodbye to Tanjiro and Sakonji Urokodaki and began to train the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. While creating new breathing techniques for the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps according to their characteristics, she also taught them various knowledge of the Shenzhou Dao Sect.

Therefore, under the training of Shinobu Kocho, the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps pillars improved rapidly. Especially the two who were originally at the top of the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyoumei Sadumi and Shimizu Fushigawa, have made a complete improvement after the special training. Now, if they encounter the upper-rank demons in the original work, even the upper-rank one in the original work, they have the strength to fight.

While training, Shinobu Kocho would also take time to conduct research on demons with Miss Tamayo. Relying on the blood of Tanjiro and Nezuko, as well as the blood of various demons provided by the Demon Slayer Corps, Shinobu Kocho and Miss Tamayo have already extracted antibody serum against demons.

Of course, Shinobu Kocho also knows that demons and humans are essentially the same creature. To be more precise, in the demon slayer world, humans are just a special form of demons.

Even if Shinobu Kocho and Miss Tamayo have developed the antibody serum, it is impossible to truly turn a demon into a human, because there is no such creature as "human" in other worlds in the Demon Slayer world. The so-called human in this world is essentially just a demon bound in the shackles called "human"!

Therefore, the antibody vaccine developed by Shinobu Kocho and Ms. Tamayo has limited effect on demons. It can only put the shackles of "human" back on demons. Although the demons with antibodies will return to human form, they may still break free of the shackles and turn back into demons. Just like everyone in the demon world may turn back into a demon due to various coincidences.

I can only say that Demon Slayer World is truly a deformed world.

The history of this world is destined to continue to be entangled in the conflict between ghosts and humans.

More than half a year later, Shinobu Kocho came to Sagiri Mountain again. This time, she was accompanied by a girl named Kanao Kurikaraku who had a stiff expression but smiled silently. She was a girl who was once adopted by Shinobu Kocho's elder sister Kanae. Later, she was adopted as a stepson by Shinobu Kocho because of her extraordinary talent.

As one of the protagonists in the original work, Kanao Kurika has extremely strong eyesight, and her dynamic observation ability is even comparable to the Sharingan. Therefore, under the training of Shinobu Kocho, she has excellent strength at a young age. In Shinobu Kocho's opinion, when she passes the final trial one year later, her strength will not be inferior to that of the pillars in the original work, and may even be better.

The reason why Shinobu Kocho brought her to Mount Sagiri is because the time for Nezuko to transform into an immortal is approaching. By then, Nezuko's rational side will be separated from her primitive animal side, and Nezuko will need to attach herself to another person to move, just like Tamamonomae did before.

Considering that Kocho's soul is quite special and Tanjiro, her elder brother, is a man, Kocho is planning to let Nezuko temporarily possess Kanao. Kanao did not object to this and even looked forward to it. Kanao seemed to want to find back her lost emotions in this way.

So the two of them came to Sagiri Mountain together and found Tanjiro who was training with Urokodaki Sakonji. At this time, they saw that Tanjiro had basically mastered the Water Breathing Method and was practicing the Sun Breathing Method and swordsmanship.

Seeing Kocho Shinobu coming, Tanjiro naturally greeted her happily. Seeing this, Kocho Shinobu also introduced Kanao Kurika to him.

As the couple in the original work, Tanjiro and Kanao began to develop feelings for each other even when they first met. In particular, Tanjiro's high personality charm infected Kanao in a short period of time, causing Kanao, who originally had emotional barriers, to begin to undergo subtle changes.

Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho also nodded slightly.

In fact, she had long wanted to solve Kanao's problem, but she was not Tanjiro after all, and she couldn't change Kanao's emotional expression disorder after using various means. I think only a protagonist with such a charismatic personality as Tanjiro can help Kanao completely get out of the shadow of the past.

After everyone shared their recent experiences, Shinobu Kocho led everyone to the tomb where Nezuko was sleeping.

Under certain astronomical phenomena, Shinobu Kocho opened the dusty soil. Tanjiro watched all this nervously, watching the tomb of his sister appear under the cold moonlight. The crystal jade shone with warm light at night, stirring the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to flow into the tomb.

Afterwards, Shinobu Kocho drew the Sun Blade from her waist and fiercely split open the door of the tomb in front of her. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from the tomb, making Tanjiro and others outside the tomb feel fearful instinctively.

Everyone followed Shinobu Kocho through the jade door and walked into the center of the tomb. They saw Nezuko lying quietly in a crystal clear jade coffin under the tomb illuminated by the stars.

Compared to the weak Nezuko a year ago, she now lies in the jade coffin with a ruddy complexion and even breathing, looking like an ordinary girl immersed in a spring dream. But everyone present knows what kind of terrible energy is hidden under this girl's body. If all of it is exerted, Nezuko will instantly have the strength comparable to that of an upper rank.

Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho nodded slightly, indicating that Nezuko was in very good condition.

Seeing this, Tanjiro on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, Tanjiro saw Kocho Shinobu put her right hand together to form a sword, and drew a golden talisman in the air. That was the Shenzhou Shangqing School's Void Talisman. Kocho Shinobu, who inherited Tamamonomae's memory, also mastered this move. Although it was not as superb as Master Zhao's, it was enough to use here at this moment.

Then, under Shinobu Kocho's finger, the golden talismans turned into chains, tightly binding Nezuko's body in the jade coffin. Then Shinobu Kocho circulated the blood and qi in her body, and lightly tapped Nezuko's forehead. Then everyone saw another illusory Nezuko gradually emerge from Nezuko's body.

This is the corpse-reincarnation immortal that has been formed after a year of nurturing, with Nezuko's human side condensed into one.

The illusory figure gradually stabilized under the protection of the Kocho Ninja Talisman. The originally confused eyes gradually regained consciousness. Then everyone saw the illusory Nezuko looked around in confusion. After seeing Tanjiro, Nezuko immediately found her backbone and said excitedly:

"elder brother!"

"Nezuko!"

Tanjiro was also very happy to see his sister finally regain consciousness. He wanted to go forward and join his sister, but was stopped by Kocho Shinobu with her left hand.

"Your sister is still very weak. The most important thing now is to find her a body to possess so that she can recover as quickly as possible."

As soon as Shinobu Kocho finished speaking, Kanao walked up to Nezuko.

Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho drew a talisman with her right finger, guiding Nezuko, who had transformed into an immortal, into Kanao's body. Of course, the difference between Nezuko and Kanao's strength was too great, so Nezuko couldn't control Kanao's body at all. She could only hide in Kanao's body and use Kanao's blood to nourish herself.

After waiting for Nezuko to completely enter Kanao's body, Shinobu Kocho asked:

"How are you, Kanao? Do you feel unwell?"

Kanao shook her head, indicating that she didn't feel anything special. Obviously, the pressure Nezuko brought to Kanao was so slight that Kanao's body didn't react at all.

And from within Kanao, Nezuko's voice came out:
