Then he left.
Under the puzzled gaze of Tokito Muichiro, Kokushibo just left here.
It was as if he came here just to take a look at him.
I saw it and left.
Finally, Kokushibo came to a remote mountain, where there was a solitary grave in the overgrown weeds. And just below this nameless mound, a legend was buried.
This is the grave of Yoriichi Tsugukuni.
It was Kokushibo who buried him here after Kuniyoshi died. But now Kokushibo has dug up his brother's body again.
After carefully wrapping them in a small package, he took the bones and walked towards the forest in the mountains. With the bones of his brother, Kokushibo came to the depths of a mountain forest. Not far from here is where Tanjiro Kamado's family used to be.
There used to be a grave under the shade of the tree. It was the grave of Tsugumi Yoshiichi's wife and his unborn child. On this grave, there grew beautiful blue red spider lilies.
Muzan Kibutsuji would never have imagined in his dreams that the blue spider lily was right here.
It is on a mountain not far from Tanjiro's home, and Tanjiro's family has eaten this blue red spider lily before. That's why this family has a very high talent in becoming ghosts.
In fact, after he met Tanjiro's family, he could have obtained the precious medicinal material by simply asking about the whereabouts of the blue spider lily, but Muzan Kibutsuji chose to kill them. As a result, he not only created a terrible opponent for himself, but also missed the blue spider lily.
Looking at this precious blue red spider lily, Kokushibo said nothing.
He picked up a shovel, dug a hole in the wasteland, and buried his brother's body in it.
"This is where your wife is buried. I hope you can meet her in the Pure Land!"
The sun rose and set again and again, and the stars in the night sky moved again and again. No matter how time passed, Kokushibo remained unmoved. After an unknown amount of time, his hair became paler and his skin gradually developed age spots. At this time, he looked more and more like an old man who was about to end his life.
"You are here after all!"
A man walked up to Kokushibo with a look of understanding.
Hearing this voice, Kokushibo looked to the side. He saw that the person who came was none other than Miss Tamayo, who was wearing a beautiful pink kimono. She looked at the deserted grave in front of Kokushibo and sighed:
"Now is not the season for Higanbana to grow!"
Kokushibo was silent for a while, as if he was organizing his words, and then asked:
"How did you know I was here?"
Miss Tamayo did not answer the question directly, but looked at the grave beside her and said:
"I remember that hundreds of years ago, when Mr. Yunyi came out of retirement to deal with the Demon Slayer Corps and wanted to fight the Sky Locusts, he also stood here like this, staring at his wife's grave in a daze. For three whole months, he ate and slept standing here. No matter it was windy or rainy, he never left here."
After saying this, Miss Tamayo looked at Kokushibo and said:
"You are brothers after all. Maybe you have always felt that you are very different from Mr. Yunichi, but I feel that you and Mr. Yunichi are similar in many ways in your bones! Especially when I saw you accompanying Hotaru Kotetsuzuka to forge a long sword, at that time I felt that you were exactly the same as Mr. Yunichi back then!"
"So you guessed it. I'm here." said Kokushibo.
Ms. Tamayo nodded.
Kokushibo continued to remain silent, but his eyes revealed a hint of confusion and a bit of puzzlement.
"I am a ghost, he is a human; I am the moon, he is the sun; I am evil, he is good... We have so many differences, but why are many of our behaviors so similar?"
"Because you are brothers!" said Miss Tamayo:
"Only brothers care about their differences. Everyone else will only marvel at their similarities!"
Yes, we are brothers after all!
We have the same parents, the same birthday, the same appearance. We have so many similarities, yet we have so many differences.
That's it, brother!
"What are you looking for me for?" Kokushibo asked again.
"I'm here to bring you something." Miss Tamayo took out a pile of clothes from her bag. Looking at the word "destroy" on the clothes, Kokushibo said in confusion:
"Demon Slayer Corps uniform?"
"Mr. Yoriichi left the Demon Slayer Corps early, so he didn't have a Demon Slayer Corps uniform. In addition, he had been standing here for too long, and his clothes were already worn out. So before we set off, we prepared a Demon Slayer Corps uniform for him." Ms. Tamayo said as she looked at the equally worn-out clothes on Kokushibo.
"I think you need a piece of clothing like this, too!"
Kokushibo did not reply, but quietly took the clothes. This is the uniform of the current Demon Slayer Corps, but the current members of the Demon Slayer Corps basically no longer wear uniforms in order to hide their identities. After feeling the size of the uniform, Kokushibo found that it was just the right size for him.
"I made this according to Mr. Yoriichi's size," Ms. Tamayo explained.
"I once made a uniform for the Demon Slayer Corps for Mr. Yoriichi. After all, you and Mr. Yoriichi are brothers, so the sizes should be similar, so I made another one with the same size."
After saying that, Miss Tamayo left here, but before leaving, she turned back and said:
"Back then, Mr. Yunyi was unable to fulfill his long-cherished wish. I hope you won't end up like your brother."
And so several months passed.
During these months, Miss Tamayo would bring the latest newspaper and read the latest news to him from time to time. Until this day, when Kokushibo heard Miss Tamayo say:
"On December 12, the Heavenly Locust will attend the opening ceremony of the largest church."
His eyes suddenly lit up.
He knew it was time to take action!
Chapter 188 Anyone who stands in my way will die
On December 12, Judas, who was possessed by the locust, looked at the newly built church in front of him with a bright smile on his face. Beside him, other officials looked at the magnificent church with very complicated expressions on their faces.
They really couldn't understand why the emperor would spend national funds to build a church after the earthquake when the Imperial Palace had not been repaired. They couldn't understand why the royal family, who had always believed in Shintoism, would promote Western religions.
But Judas didn't care about his subordinates' ideas. At this moment, he only wanted to use Xiaori as a foundation to spread the glory of God throughout the East. Seeing churches rising from the ground in Xiaori's land, Judas was naturally in high spirits.
Of course, knowing that he had offended many people recently, Judas also dispatched a guard division to garrison around the church, and the entire area around the church was absolutely heavily guarded.
At this time, the sun has gradually approached noon. Although it is now winter, the sun in the sky is particularly bright, indicating that today will be a good day.
The people gathered around the church, looking at the tall, majestic and unfamiliar building in front of them with confusion and suspicion. They watched their own Heavenly Locust, dressed in gorgeous clothes, excitedly starting his speech in front of tens of thousands of people and in the nationwide live broadcast.
"My subjects..."
Judas began to recount the church's once "glorious" history, and the sacrifices made by the church's predecessors to spread the glory of God.
His speech was passionate and accompanied by the influence of vampire magic, many people became believers of the church because of this speech. But more people became more and more disgusted with him, thinking that the so-called church was just a group of liars and the so-called gods did not exist at all.
It was at this moment that an uninvited guest was slowly walking towards the Koshien venue.
His white hair was tied behind his back, and the wrinkles on his face looked like they were cut by a knife or an axe. He was wearing a traditional Demon Slayer uniform, and a moon-colored haori on the outside. The long sword in his hand, separated by the scabbard, still exuded a strange and cold aura, and his eyes were as bright as moonlight, staring at the church not far away.
Kokushibo walked slowly, with a chill that froze his heart. Influenced by his aura, a dark cloud floated in the sky. It blocked the bright sunlight and brought beautiful snowflakes.
It was a sudden snowfall. In a few minutes, the area around the church was covered with a thin layer of frost, and even the bodies of the people present were covered with many ice crystals.
"Who?"
Seeing that Kokushibo was approaching, a division of 20,000 soldiers all took action. They carried their prepared weapons and surrounded Kokushibo at the entrance of the venue, shouting:
"Old man, this is the palace of His Majesty Tian Huang. No one is allowed to enter. Why don't you get out of here right now!"
Kokushibo was unmoved. At this time, a soldier noticed the word "annihilation" on Kokushibo's clothes, and said tremblingly:
"Demon, Demon Slayer Corps!"
After the Demon Slayer Corps suffered a blow, most of the surviving members went underground, hiding their identities and killing demons in the dark. However, some members of the Demon Slayer Corps disobeyed orders and carried out assassination attacks in various places. They assassinated high-ranking military officials in various places, and anyone who had attacked the Demon Slayer Corps was their target of assassination.
The swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps are already powerful, and they are good at operating in the dark, making it even harder to defend against their sneak attacks. It is unknown how many high-ranking military officials have been assassinated by the Demon Slayer Corps. As a result, many people in the military are now terrified of the Demon Slayer Corps.
This is also the reason why Kokushibo chose to wear the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps. It's not because he has any special feelings for the Demon Slayer Corps, but simply because this set of clothes can let the people in front of him know that he is their enemy at the first time!
Kokushibo would not choose assassination, because Tsugikoku Yoshiichi chose to kill directly! What Tsugikoku Yoshiichi could do, he could do too! Not only that, he also wanted to prove to the world that he could not only do it, but he could do it better than Tsugikoku Yoshiichi!
That's it!
"Hey, how many people are here?"
Facing the soldiers who were full of fear, Kokushibo asked sternly.
“You are a traitor to the Demon Slayer Corps. We have an entire Imperial Guard Division here with more than 20,000 people! You’d better surrender! Considering your age, His Majesty Tianhuang might even give you some dignity!”
The leading officer shouted.
The ordinary soldiers present thought that Kokushibo would be frightened by the number of 20,000 people, but unexpectedly, Kokushibo raised the corners of his mouth excitedly after hearing this number.
"The number of people that Yoriichi defeated back then was 10,000, and now there are 20,000! Very good!"
Seeing that Kokushibo was not frightened at all when he heard that there were 20,000 people here, he laughed happily. All the soldiers present looked at each other, wondering if the old man was scared silly.
However, Kokushibo drew out his newly forged long sword in front of everyone and said slowly:
"Back then, Yoriichi defeated an army of ten thousand demons with just one move. Today, I will also only use one move. With this one move, I will destroy all 20,000 people!"
"Take this, Breath of the Moon, Form Twenty, Blocking the Sun!"
After the sword was drawn, the soldiers present felt that the light in the world around them suddenly disappeared, as if the sun in the sky was obscured by the moon, causing a lunar eclipse, and everything in the world fell into endless darkness.
In this endless darkness, the temperature in the air began to drop sharply. In addition, it was winter, and the temperature in the air was already low. After another sudden drop, the temperature soon broke through minus ten degrees, then twenty degrees, thirty degrees, and finally...
The darkness dissipated, and with Kokushibo at the center, nearly 20,000 soldiers were all turned into ice sculptures in the darkness!
These soldiers who were frozen into ice sculptures were either terrified or hesitant, but most of them did not even have time to react and ended their lives in the ice.
With just one sword, an army of more than 20,000 people was destroyed!
The power of this move is even stronger than Amaterasu used by Yoriichi Tsugakuni in the past.
What Kokushibo said about wanting to surpass Tsugikoku Yoriichi was definitely not empty talk.
But as the saying goes, a strong move will hurt oneself. Tsugikuni Yoriichi's existence is already the pinnacle of human swordsmanship, and being able to display sword skills that are more powerful than him is not without a price paid by Kokushibo.
At this moment, he was standing among the ice sculptures, with cold snowflakes slowly falling around him, highlighting his increasingly weak body.
He gasped for breath and felt that he had very little vitality left in his body.
Originally, according to Kokushibo's calculations, he should have at least several decades left to live. But after the consumption of that move just now, he might not even be able to live for a year. The sword skill that killed 20,000 people in one move cost him several decades of life and several decades of time!
If not, how could Kokushibo perform such terrifying moves, and how could he surpass the nearly god-like Yoriichi Tsugikoku?
Because of the huge consumption, Kokushibo was almost wiped out after this move. But with the support of his own willpower, he overcame the call of death, stood up, and slowly walked towards the inside of Koshien.
"I, I can't, I can't die yet!"
He was a little dazed, but his steps were very firm. He walked into the gate of Koshien step by step, and Kokushibo encouraged himself:
"I want to surpass Yoriichirō. I can't always be just his shadow!"
As he spoke these words, Kokushibo seemed to see the back of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi in a trance. The back that was originally far away in the horizon was now right in front of him, as if he could easily jump over it with just a light leap.
Yunyi, I'm finally catching up with you!
Taking a step forward, Kokushibo finally walked into the meeting place around the church. Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people around him, he raised his head, with a pair of bright eyes on his old face, staring intently at the locust in the sky.
I will do what Yunyi failed to do! I will kill those whom Yunyi failed to kill!
I have no grudge against you, but I still want to kill you!
It's just because I want to prove to the world that I'm stronger than Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
I am not just Tsugumi Yuichiro's brother, I am Tsugumi Yansheng!
The snowflakes in the sky were floating quietly, and the long sword in Kokushibo's hand was emitting a beautiful sword light like the moonlight. The chilling coldness made tens of thousands of people present dare not speak, and everyone stared at the intruder in amazement. Even Judas stopped his speech and looked at the unexpected intruder with a bad face.
Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, Kokushibo slowly raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it at the high and mighty Judas.
At this moment, everyone knew his intention.
He wants to kill the locusts in the sky with his sword!
At the same time, everyone noticed the Demon Slayer Corps uniform on him.
This is the remnant of the Demon Slayer Corps!
Hostility, anger, rejection, fear, doubt, and all kinds of complicated emotions surged into the hearts of the people present. Everyone was shocked by Kokushibo's boldness, but many people also understood a fact for the first time today.
It turns out that locusts can be killed!
For a long time, the Sky Locust has been a god-like existence in people's hearts. It is high above, looking down on all living things, as if it is beyond the three realms and not in the mortal world. So even if Judas messes around after possessing the Sky Locust, everyone can only endure it silently.
But it was not until today that people realized that Tianhuang was just an ordinary person.
He will also grow old and die!
