I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

He just jumped up from the ground with a slight effort, looked at the Nichirin Sword on Tsuguki Yuichi's waist, and said with some anticipation: "Let me see Mr. Tsuguki Yuichi's strength."

"I'm a little curious about how powerful Mr. Tsugikoku Yoriichi is, who can hunt down 'ghosts'."

From the beginning, Iyeas had actually been ready to make a move.

After all, Iyeas is still a little young and impulsive, and there is definitely no way he can find a ready-made ghost. However, since the one in front of him, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, is a ghost hunter, he must be very powerful.

Iyeas wanted to see how strong Tsugikuni Yoriichi was.

He was actually able to hunt ghosts, which were at least extremely dangerous species.

"Iyeas!"

"Why are you suddenly competing with Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi out of the blue?"

Looking at Iyeas who had suddenly regained his spirits, Shayou rolled her eyes at him and said, "You haven't eaten for a whole day, so don't waste your energy."

"I don't even know if Tatsumi will be able to come tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Shayou's expression became a little worried.

Shayou is not worried about the problem of food and accommodation. If it really doesn't work out, she can start looking for some job tomorrow morning to get by for a while.

Sayu was mainly worried about Tatsumi.

Normally, Tatsumi should have fallen today.

Although Tatsumi is the strongest among them, Sayu is still somewhat worried.

But what if something unexpected happens to Tatsumi?

"Tatsumi will definitely be able to come tomorrow."

"They are just a bunch of stinky bandits, not worth mentioning at all."

"At worst, Tatsumi can't come tomorrow. We can just find a temporary job first."

Compared to Shayu's worries, Iyeas is a bit careless.

In Iyeas's opinion, Tatsumi's strength is absolutely very reliable. He can kill those stronger first-level dangerous species alone, and there is no possibility of any accidents.

The reason why I separated from Tatsumi was entirely because it was night time and the situation was rather chaotic.

We agreed to meet in the capital and then separated.

Looking at Tsugikoku Yoriichi, Iyeas's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. He said, "Mr. Tsugikoku Yoriichi, since you have come all the way to the center of our country, to the imperial capital, I think you must be quite powerful."

"Let's try it."

After saying that, Iyeas didn't wait for Jigoku Yoshiichi to say anything, and just drew out the dagger from his waist.

Then he just stood there, waiting for a response from Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.

As for Iyeas' invitation, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was silent and did not respond immediately.

When he was a child, Yoriichi Tsugakuni once defeated an old swordsman easily with just a few sword techniques, but since then, Yoriichi Tsugakuni never told anyone that he wanted to become a samurai.

Because for Yuichiro Tsugikuni, the feeling of beating others is really too uncomfortable.

"Mr. Iyeas."

"I don't know. What's your reason for swinging the sword?"

Looking at the dagger in Iyeas's hand, Tsugikoku Yoriichi paused for a moment and asked seriously, "Why did you take up the sword, Mr. Iyeas, and wield it?"

"Of course I want to become stronger and more powerful!"

"Only by becoming stronger and more powerful can I stand out and work with Sau and that guy Tatsumi to improve our hometown."

Iyeas's reason was simple and crude.

However, although Iyeas's reason was simple and crude, the reason why Iyeas swung his sword was indeed given.

The reason Iyeas swings his sword is not to hurt others, but to protect the beings he cares about.

Thinking of this, Jiguo Yuanyi smiled slightly, stood up, slowly pulled out the Nichirin Sword that had accompanied him through his long life, and said seriously: "Then Mr. Iyeas."

"let us start."

Chapter 5: Breathing, the powerful secret

"it is good!"

"Then Mr. Tsugikoku Yuichi, you better be careful."

After hearing Tsugikuni Yoriichi's response, the expression on Iyeas's face became a little excited.

Afterwards, Iyeas did not use any so-called techniques, but just sprinted quickly towards the position where Jigoku Yoshiichi was.

At this moment, on Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's side, he could clearly feel the "gurgling" sound coming from Iyeas's body.

This is the sound of blood flowing in Iyeas' body, like a surging river, extremely spectacular.

Just relying on this pure energy and blood, in Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's opinion, except for the top few swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps, most other swordsmen would probably be inferior to Iyeas if they did not use their full concentration.

"Mr. Iyeas's body is amazing."

"If you practice hard, you will definitely become a very powerful person."

Looking at Iyeas who crossed a distance of more than ten meters and came to him in almost one second, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not hesitate to express his praise.

He possesses such a level of power without even using any breathing techniques.

If he could master his own breathing method and use the fully concentrated breathing method, then Iyeas's strength would probably reach a very terrifying level.

"It's just that Mr. Iyeas's technique is too crude."

"Although I possess immense explosive power, more than 60% of that strength is redundant."

Just a second, not even a second.

Iyeas had almost no secrets within the sight of Jiguo Yuanyi. Jiguo Yuanyi could see Iyeas's strengths and weaknesses clearly in an instant.

clang!

Under Sayu's surprised gaze, her partner, Iyeas's powerful slash was actually blocked by Jiguo Yuanyi with a single-handed sword.

Moreover, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's arm did not even shake in front of Iyeas.

It gives people a feeling of being as stable as Mount Tai.

“He actually blocked it.”

"Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi is indeed very powerful."

Looking at Tsugikuni Yoriichi who had single-handedly blocked his attack, Iyeas didn't feel the slightest bit of awareness of the huge difference in their combat power. He chuckled twice, rubbed his nose, and said, "If that's the case, I'm relieved."

"Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, please feel the powerful strength of Iyeas!"

After saying that, Iyeas took a deep breath and began to chop at Yoriichi Tsugikuni continuously.

The whole process was fierce, domineering and powerful.

Just as Yoriichi Tsugakuni had previously judged, Iyeas did not make any significant achievements in terms of skills. When he was in the village, whether it was Iyeas, Sau, or Tatsumi who had not yet appeared.

Basically, I am constantly exercising my body as much as possible.

If you don't have skills, you can make up for it with strength.

However, it is a pity that the gap between Iyeas and Yoriichi Tsugikuni is too huge.

clang!

Clang!

Clang, clang, clang!

One after another, the sound of collision emerged in the alley.

Every slash from Iyeas was easily blocked by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin. From beginning to end, Iyeas did not shake Yoshikazu Tsugakuin even for a moment.

This went on for a while before Iyeas had to stop due to exhaustion.

"Huh, huhu..."

"Okay, I admit your strength, Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi."

Looking at Yoriichi Tsugikuni, whose expression did not change at all and whose breathing rhythm remained steady from beginning to end, Iyeas was convinced and sat directly on the ground to show his surrender.

Only after personally fighting with Yoshiichi Tsugakuni did Iyeas clearly feel the terrifying strength of Yoshiichi Tsugakuni.

Thinking of this, Iyeas smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that I still need to continue to practice hard."

Before leaving the village, and even before fighting with Yoshikazu Tsugakuin, Iyeas was full of confidence.

However, after fighting with Yoriichi Tsugikoku, Iyeas quickly went from a confident attitude to one of inferiority.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi now looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

The age difference between him and Iyeas is not that big, but the difference in actual strength is so terrifying.

"Mr. Iyeas is still very powerful."

"You can unleash such powerful force without using any breathing techniques."

Looking at Iyeas, who seemed a little depressed, Jiguo Yuanyi smiled slightly and said, "If Mr. Iyeas learns the breathing method, he will definitely become more powerful."

After the short fight just now, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi already had some appreciation for Iyeas.

With pure belief and strong overall physical fitness, once he learns the corresponding breathing techniques and is equipped with the Nichirin Sword, he will definitely become the core combat force in the Demon Slayer Corps.

do not know why.

At this moment, the image of Muzan Kibutsuji appeared in Yoriichi Tsugakuni's mind.

"Only you, Muzan Kibutsuji, I will never let go."

"Mr. Enichi Tsukuni."

"Are you going to teach that breathing method to Iyeas?"

Hearing what Yoshiichi Tsugakuni said, Sau's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Through what Jigoku Yuichi just said, it was not difficult for Shayou to draw a conclusion, that is, the strength that Jigoku Yuichi showed, the tip of the iceberg, must have a lot to do with that breathing method.

This secret that can make people stronger can definitely create a powerful force that will last for thousands of years.

For example, the most famous assembly line of strong men in the empire, the Royal Fist Temple, is a force with a history even longer than that of the Thousand Year Empire, and the waters inside it are unfathomable.

Even if it is an empire, it cannot be moved at will.

And Tsugikuni Yoriichi actually looked like he was willing to pass on this secret to Iyeas. How could Sau not be excited?

Once you learn this secret, it is no longer just a matter of getting ahead.

“It’s not a very valuable thing.”

Looking at the excited Sau, Tsugikoku Yuanyi smiled gently and said softly, "If Miss Sau is willing to learn, it's fine. Both Mr. Iyeas and Miss Sau are very talented."

"If it were Mr. Iyeas and Ms. Sau, they would definitely be able to learn the breathing technique."

"You might even be able to create a breathing method that suits you."

"only……"

At this point, a trace of uncontrollable sadness appeared on Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's face.

Yoshiichi Tsugikuni thought of the companions he met during his time in the Demon Slayer Corps.

Chapter 6: Apprenticeship to Yuichi Tsugikoku

The best practitioners of breathing techniques will have a chance to unlock the markings.

Except for himself, no other swordsman who has opened the markings can live beyond the age of twenty-five.

All of them died the day before they officially turned twenty-five.

However, once the markings are acquired, all abilities possessed will be thoroughly and comprehensively enhanced, whether it is sword skills or physical abilities, there will be a qualitative change compared to before.

Ji Guoyuan told Shayu and Iyeas without reservation the possible consequences of learning the breathing method, and let Shayu and Iyeas choose freely.
