Is this okay?

Now, we certainly won't be lazy anymore; we'll have to pull it out and use it, given the urgency of the situation.

……

Demon Slayer Corps, Headquarters, Outer Territory, Forest.

Crimson flames flickered as Kyojuro's hands danced across the blades. His face was filled with absolute fighting spirit, his eyes blazing with determination, and his gaping mouth clenched his teeth as he unleashed his full power in a powerful attack.

Opposite him was Akaza, a red-haired demon with blue markings all over his face.

"Hehehe, not bad! Really not bad! Such fighting spirit!"

Akaza, while exchanging blows with Kyojuro, wore a happy smile, full of anticipation.

"Sayonara, Kyojuro, become a demon! You, as a human, can never reach your limits. The human body and lifespan will always limit a person's limits. Only by abandoning your human identity can you reach your limits. So! Become a demon!"

His words were filled with expectation, as if he felt that this was what Kyojuro should do.

but……

"I hate ghosts, so I refuse!"

Kyojuro gritted his teeth, wanting to sever Akaza's head with his sword, his eyes filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

"That's a real shame, but... I'd welcome you to become a ghost!"

Akazaru maintained his smile, then exerted all his strength and punched Kyojuro in the face.

boom!

The fist was blocked the moment it hit Kyojuro, who then converted his attack into a defense.

This punch landed right in front of his sun wheel.

The immense force immediately created distance between the two, bringing them back to the distance they had been at when the battle began.

At this moment, Kyojuro's breathing became somewhat rapid. He couldn't keep up with the energy expenditure from the battle, and he had no way to replenish his stamina.

Even so, Kyojuro persisted, determined to protect everyone!

Just then, footsteps sounded from the side.

"Who?!"

Akaza heard footsteps and quickly turned around. He was instantly shocked when he saw who it was.

It was an unprecedented sense of oppression, like a terrifying demon emerging from hell.

Even his body trembled at that moment.

What's going on?! Am I scared?

why? !

Shouldn't I be excited to encounter such a powerful opponent? Why am I afraid?

No... this isn't how I feel...

This is... that person's fear!

Akaza's face was filled with shock for a moment; he never imagined that the lord would have a moment of fear.

Meanwhile, in the nearby woods, Kirito strode forward with a merciless expression.

He slowly drew his Nichirin Blade, held it horizontally in front of his chest, and crimson markings appeared on his forehead. Then, under the immense force of his grip, the Nichirin Blade emitted a crimson light—it was a Crimson Blade!

"This is!?" Xing Shoulang's eyes widened in surprise at the sight. He knew some things that others did not know from his ancient books.

However, he knew what was happening now.

It was a scene recorded in his family's ancient book: a crimson blade, crimson patterns printed on its body, and an unprecedented sense of oppression.

You can’t go wrong!

Breathing for this day!

At this moment, Akaza's face paled in shock, and he stared at Kirito, who was walking towards him, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"who are you!"

"Who I am is not important, what is important is... that you should end this."

Kirito didn't answer the other person's question, but instead rushed straight towards Akaza.

then……

"Breath of the Sun, Dance of the Flash!"

boom!

A crimson flame wheel burst forth the moment Kirito approached Akaza.

This move! Will kill you!!

Akaza was startled by this situation and immediately became alert.

"Destruction Kill - Compass Needle!"

Instantly, a twelve-pointed snowflake array appeared beneath Akaza's feet. The stronger the opponent's fighting spirit, the stronger the compass's reaction, and the higher its corresponding strength and accuracy.

He was confident he could dodge it!

Swish!

As expected, Akaza automatically dodged the blade a second before the Waltz was about to begin.

puff!

But even though he dodged it, his body was still slashed.

"Nani!?"

Akaza stared in disbelief at his bleeding arm. He knew he had dodged perfectly, but he was injured.

At this moment, Kirito took a deep breath and said seriously, "That's pretty impressive. So, how about this?"

The sun breathes, permeating the world.

hum!

In an instant, Kirito exuded a powerful sense of oppression, but his fighting spirit vanished.

Akaza's Destruction Kill: Compass is designed to automatically dodge based on the opponent's fighting spirit, but Kirito's fighting spirit seems to have disappeared, and it can't be felt at all.

"How is this possible... His battle aura was so powerful just a moment ago, and it just vanished?"

Akaza stared wide-eyed in disbelief; he had never imagined such a situation.

He couldn't sense any fighting spirit; it was as if he were blind.

"Sa, it's time to end this."

Kirito's voice came from the side, filled with an unprecedented solemnity and seriousness.

Dangerous!

In an instant, Akaza felt a blood-red "danger" character appear before his eyes. He wanted to do something, but found that he had lost the lock of his fighting spirit, and no matter what he did, he could not make a perfect dodge.

Then there was a sound.

"Breath of the Sun, RUA! Killing Aura!"

"?"

Akaza was completely confused and had no idea what this meant.

The next second, he instantly felt his body being swallowed up by countless blades of light.

Brush brush!

Three thousand blades flashed in an instant, giving people no time to react.

When he came to his senses, Kirito had already slowly sheathed the two Nichirin Blades, while looking mercilessly at Akaza.

"Did you hear that? The sound of a blade flashing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Akaza's body was instantly torn to pieces; the slicing, which occurred at a rate of three thousand cuts per second, pulverized his body.

It was cut off before it could even react.

As the wind blew, Akaza's body vanished silently from the spot, without taking any clouds with it.

"Wow, that's amazing! It's really amazing!!"

Upon seeing this, Kyojuro immediately shouted excitedly, his face filled with shock.

Kirito smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Let's go, other places need our support."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Shulang paused slightly, then immediately smiled and nodded.

……

While Kirito and Kyojuro were heading to provide support elsewhere, Shinobu Kocho was locked in a fierce battle.

The forest was no longer the usual place it was, but covered in a blanket of white snow, where two people were engaged in battle.

"Blood Demon Art: Lotus Leaf Ice"

With the wave of the iron fan, white ice dust and ice crystals instantly filled the air.

Upon seeing this, Shinobu immediately retreated to create distance, her face filled with anger and pain. She recognized the man in front of her.

It's the evil spirit that killed its own sister!

Upper Moon Two, Doma!

White oak hair, rainbow-colored eyes. Ghostly markings like bloodstains on his head, and a carefree smile on his face.

"What a beautiful young woman. Your scent is so familiar. Have we met before?"

"You—! Have you forgotten? My sister, Kanae Kocho, died at your hands! That day is just like the scenery now, also in the freezing snow..."

Shinobu glared at Doma through gritted teeth. At this moment, she could no longer hide her emotions, and her truest anger was revealed.

Yes, at that moment she had already decided to die!

"I am going to kill you!"

In an instant, Shinobu's killing intent could be felt, and she pointed her Nichirin Blade at Doma.

"In that case, let us become one, and I will bring you eternal joy!"

Doma wore an innocent smile, as if everything was for Shinobu's good.

"Blood Demon Art, Winter Ice Pillar!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, countless sharp ice pillars appeared above Shinobu's head and slammed down onto the ground.

Shinobu Kocho quickly dodged, and countless icicles fell at her feet, nearly piercing her body.

"Insect Breathing... Dance of Bee Fangs - True Enchantment!"

She raised her Nichirin Blade, aimed it at Doma, and leaped forward. She was so fast that she arrived in front of Doma in a second, and at the same time, she thrust the Nichirin Blade with all her might.

But just as the Nichirin Blade approached Doma, Shinobu Kocho felt her breath catch in her throat and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Phew!

"how come……"

She coughed up blood in agony, and her attack was interrupted.

Seeing this, Douma laughed happily and said, "You really are careless. From the very beginning, I spread ice crystals in the air. Your lungs were attacked from the moment we met. It's just a pity that human lungs don't have pain receptors, so you didn't notice."

"Damn..."

Shinobu Kocho was furious and wanted to persevere, but her breathing was too labored for her, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to resort to this last resort: let him eat me! The toxins in my body will definitely kill him completely!

"Please don't do that."

Suddenly, a voice appeared behind Shinobu Kocho.

"Who?"

"Ok?"
