Chapter 508

"Lower Rank One... was solved just like that?" Tanjiro looked at Lin Ye in shock. He remembered the Lower Rank Five he had dealt with; at that time, he had used all his means and still hadn't won. Comparing the gap, it was too big.

Lin Ye didn't react much; it was just a Lower Rank, it would be strange if he couldn't kill him instantly. However, this should be considered Enmu's own fault; after all, he fell before Lin Ye even made a move.

With his little bit of spiritual power colliding with his soul, it was like an ordinary person hitting a subway with their body; there was no other outcome but being smashed to pieces.

"Indeed, thank you for your action, Mr. Lin Ye!"

Kyojuro Rengoku also stood up to express his gratitude. Although he was confident he could solve Enmu, he definitely couldn't do it as easily and casually as Lin Ye, solving the enemy without anyone getting hurt.

At this moment, a sound rang out! Instantly, the entire train seemed to have suffered a violent impact! Bang! Following that, the train derailed and flipped over!!

"Ah!!"

There was a commotion in the carriage. During the flip, countless passengers who were still immersed in dreams were awakened and panicked. In the carriage, Lin Ye didn't react. His eyes lit up, and the Mystic Eyes of Distortion were instantly activated. The next second, the flipped train was instantly restored to normal and could continue to travel smoothly.

"Hmm? It's actually fine?" Akaza looked at this scene with interest. The power of his kick just now was not small, yet nothing happened. From this, one could see the strength of the opponent.

Flame Breathing! First Form: Unknowing Fire!

Boom!

Suddenly, a flash of fire descended from the sky and headed straight for Akaza's neck! However, Akaza seemed to know beforehand; his body flashed, and the attack grazed his body!

Sun Breathing! First Form: Dance!

Thunder Breathing! First Form: Thunderclap and Flash!

Beast Breathing! First Fang: Pierce!

Swish, swish, swish!

However, three more attacks came at Akaza from different directions! Top, middle, bottom! All of Akaza's escape routes were blocked!

Pity!

Destructive Death: Air Type!

In the blink of an eye! Akaza's fists struck six times in the air! A violent six-hit combo was unleashed without mercy!

Bang, bang, bang!

The next second, the three figures were sent flying, landing on the ground after flying more than ten meters.

Ku, ku, ku...

The train had already driven into the distance, and at this time, Akaza saw the four figures in front of him clearly.

"Not bad swordsmanship, but only the first strike had power and speed. As for the next three..." Akaza's gaze swept over the Tanjiro trio, then said: "Too weak."

"Ha!! You dare say I'm weak!!!" The hot-tempered Inosuke Hashibira couldn't hold back anymore. He gripped his two Nichirin swords and rushed up impatiently!

Beast Breathing, Fourth Fang: Slice 'n' Dice!

Inosuke's two Nichirin swords overlapped, turning into an "X"! The cold light slashed through the air toward Akaza's head!

"Inosuke! Careful!"

Kyojuro Rengoku reacted immediately and rushed up with his sword drawn! Unfortunately, Akaza was faster!

Destructive Death: Disorder!

A fierce fist wind flashed by. The next second, Inosuke Hashibira's attack was instantly shattered! The violent attack didn't stop, and was about to land on Inosuke's head!

If this hit, Inosuke's boar head would definitely be smashed into eight pieces! But fortunately,

Flame Breathing! Second Form: Rising Scorching Sun!

Kyojuro Rengoku's sword slashed from the side, directly blocking Akaza and even splitting his fist in two! Then Kyojuro Rengoku quickly pulled Inosuke's body away from Akaza!

"Oh?"

Akaza looked at Kyojuro Rengoku in front of him, and his eyes, engraved with "Upper Rank Three," finally showed some interest.

"Are such weaklings worth protecting?"

"He is my teammate." Kyojuro Rengoku answered without hesitation.

Hearing Kyojuro Rengoku's words, Akaza laughed.

"Protecting the weak? What a boring act. I feel like vomiting just seeing such weaklings."

Akaza sized up Kyojuro Rengoku. The other's sword just now had earned his approval; he was strong, but still not as strong as him.

Akaza remembered his most hated "companion," Upper Rank Two Doma. The "junior" he developed, Gyutaro, had become Upper Rank Six. Akaza, who never wanted to be weaker than others, also wanted such a junior.

"I see your strength is not bad. You are a Hashira, right? How about it? Interested in being turned into a demon by me?"

"No."

"Ha? It seems you really don't understand. Your strength is already quite good, but there is still a distance to the supreme realm. Do you know why? Because you are human! The gap in lifespan and constitution makes you unable to close the distance with me forever! Just like just now, even if you could move the train I flipped back to the tracks, you still have no power to fight me."

Facing Akaza's temptation, Kyojuro Rengoku didn't hesitate. Eternal life and a higher realm seemed to have no attraction to him!

"Life is short, but therefore colorful. Strength is not just about power, but more importantly, the heart! My companions are not weak, and you have no right to insult them! Also! The one who moved the train back just now wasn't me! It was someone else!"

"Ha??" Akaza was stunned. For him, Kyojuro Rengoku's previous words had no effect at all. What really caught his attention was his last sentence! "It wasn't you who blocked my attack! Then who was it!!"

Listening to Akaza's question, Kyojuro Rengoku looked at him lightly and said,

"He has been behind you the whole time. You... didn't you react at all?"

What!

Swish!

Akaza's hair stood on end instantly! The moment he turned his head, he saw a handsome face looking at him from very close by!

In an instant, Akaza couldn't help but shout in terror!

"Ah!! A demon!"

Akaza, who had reacted, was instantly covered in cold sweat. What was going on! When did this man appear behind him? If he had attacked him just now!!

Akaza didn't dare to think anymore. At this moment, he raised his fist and smashed it toward Lin Ye!

Destructive Death: Annihilation!

This was Akaza's signature skill! In the original timeline, he used this move to cancel out Kyojuro Rengoku's ultimate technique.

Flame Breathing, Ninth Form: Rengoku!

And now, he used this punch directly on Lin Ye!

The blue fighting spirit exploded on Lin Ye, and the terrifying destructive power shook all the surrounding rocks away. The ground also cracked due to the aftermath of this strike!

On the side, watching Akaza's punch, Kyojuro Rengoku couldn't help but grip his Nichirin sword.

"Can I block this punch...?"

Kyojuro Rengoku asked himself.

Yes!

However, after blocking this strike, he probably wouldn't have the ability to fight again.

"However, if it's Mr. Lin Ye, he can definitely block it!"

Kyojuro Rengoku looked at the scene in front of him. Lin Ye, who could defeat ten Hashira with one sword, had no reason to lose!

Bang!

Sure enough, the blue fighting spirit dissipated, and Akaza found that his fist had been tightly gripped by a pair of hands!

"I!!! Ah!! Drink!!! Ha!!!"

Akaza kept using force, but unfortunately, his fist couldn't break free from Lin Ye's hands at all!

Akaza suddenly used force, rip! Instantly, the arm Akaza was gripped by was directly severed by Lin Ye!

A brave man cutting off his wrist!

"Oh? You really live up to your name." Lin Ye looked at the severed hand in his hand, then threw it aside to avoid dirtying his clothes.

Opposite, Akaza's arm recovered rapidly. He stared at Lin Ye and asked coldly,

"You!! Who exactly are you!!"

"Does it matter?" Lin Ye said indifferently.

"That's right, it doesn't matter." Akaza suddenly laughed, and then, his body turned into an afterimage and rushed toward Lin Ye again!

His fists fell like raindrops, but Lin Ye's body kept dodging like leaves dancing in the wind. After several rounds, Akaza's fists didn't touch Lin Ye at all!

"A little bit more! A little bit more! Just a little bit more! Why are my fists getting faster and faster, but I can never catch your figure!"

Destructive Death: Final Form: Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow!

The Compass Needle gathered around Akaza. With one punch, hundreds of silver lights shot toward Lin Ye!

Unfortunately, in Akaza's eyes, Lin Ye's figure suddenly disappeared!

"Had enough?"

Lin Ye's voice suddenly rang out behind Akaza, and the next second, Akaza's swinging arm was suddenly cut off neatly!

"Not enough!!"

Akaza shouted, his arm recovered instantly, but the moment he prepared to punch again, he found that his arm seemed to be held by a petite figure.

"Brother Hakuji, don't fight anymore."

What!

Akaza looked blankly at the figure that appeared. Seeing the snowflake hair ornament on the girl's head, he couldn't help but shout the other's name.

"Koyuki..."

Hum!

Instantly, a wave of memories poured into his mind!

That was an unknown amount of time ago, a boy descended into this world.

He was born different from others. His movements were agile, and his teeth were like a demon's.

He chose to steal to save his father, but unfortunately, his father chose to commit suicide so as not to implicate him.

The boy was disappointed in the world. He felt the injustice of fate, and he, alone, was exiled because of his crimes.

The world always likes to bully the weak. Those people saw that he was alone and young, so they wanted to kick him.

Unfortunately, he was very strong.

After he defeated seven men in one breath, he met the man named Keizo.

The man took him home and accepted him as a disciple without caring about his background. Because the man had to go out to make money, he was arranged to take care of the man's daughter, Koyuki.

Later, like many legendary stories, he learned all the martial arts of his master and surpassed him.

He and Koyuki fell in love over time and received the master's blessing.

Inheriting the dojo, accompanying each other for life, he felt happiness for the first time.

Originally, he thought he would live happily with his master and wife like this, but after he returned from sweeping the grave, he found that

Master and Koyuki had been poisoned to death!

The rival dojo, in order not to let the Soryu Dojo affect their status, had meanly poisoned the water!

He was furious. He went to the swordsmanship dojo alone and killed all 167 people in the dojo...

Wiped them out!

Because it was too cruel, he was called a demon by others!

Thus, he met Muzan, who came out of curiosity.

He attacked the man, but was pierced through the head by the man's fist and injected with blood, turning into a demon.
