Chapter 63: The Great Demon Spear of the Immortal Dao

The intensity of the violent explosion was even more terrifying due to the cramped space of the basement.

Flames shot up into the sky.

Nakime, who bore the brunt of it, had her body completely blown to pieces in an instant.

Even Kibutsuji Muzan, who was the furthest away, only had time to sprout countless tumor-like tissues to block his front before being swallowed by the high-heat flame current.

Because the space was truly too cramped, it was the perfect kill zone for high-explosive grenades.

"Ah!"

Amidst the raging flames, Kibutsuji Muzan wailed in pain.

Kokushibo and Doma, however, let their forms shatter and then reform; one had a firm fighting will, while the other could not feel pain at all.

Suddenly, both of them looked up at the same time; amidst the gray-white smoke where the high temperature had yet to dissipate, a tall figure fell down violently.

At this moment, Doma also widened his eyes, imitating the emotion called "astonishment" that he was unable to feel.

"This human is a lunatic."

Kokushibo's expression was calm; from the brief battle just now, it had already been able to perceive that this human possessed extraordinary talent.

Boom! Bai Cangshu landed, and on his hands, golden Ripple flowed continuously, dissipating toward his surroundings like water.

That kind of power made Kokushibo and Doma wary just by seeing it.

In the clear perception of the two man-eating Ghosts, Bai Cangshu lifted his left foot high and then stomped down violently.

Bang! Kibutsuji Muzan was startled in his heart, thinking a second explosion had occurred, and tumorous tissue wrapped around him again, but Bai Cangshu had already vanished in an instant, carrying the high-heat smoke as he charged madly toward Doma.

Doma narrowed his eyes; although it lacked any human emotions, would not feel fear, would not feel pain, and would not feel joy.

Yet it understood that there was only one reason for the human before it to act this way.

The opponent believed that it was the easiest Ghost to kill.

Ha~ Doma almost wanted to laugh with pleasure; it did not know how many humans it had already eaten, or how many Ghost Slayer swordsmen known as 【Pillar】 it had killed.

But it never expected that one day, it would be treated by a human as a weak existence and chosen as the priority target for hunting.

Boom! Within the narrow space, the airflow emitted a roar like a hurricane due to the excessively rapid movement.

Doma waved one hand, and a large amount of fine ice flowers were scattered like mist; in an instant, it was as if a blue freezing rain had cleared away the high-temperature smoke.

Blood Demon Art: Scattering Lotus!

Hum! Doma suddenly felt a roar in its eardrums, and a massive force struck from beside its ear; the next moment, its body was lifted off the ground uncontrollably, and as Doma's rainbow-colored pupils trembled, it finally managed to focus.

A human whose face and arms were completely covered in blisters from high-temperature burns pressed one hand onto its head, grabbed it violently, and slammed it fiercely into the ground.

Bang! The ground shook once more.

Doma lacked the ability to feel pain, but at this moment, with its face feeling as if it were melting, it had the illusion that it was about to float away.

Doma's iron fan lifted, but the next moment, Bai Cangshu spat out a scorching white breath, and his right hand, as if it had vanished, instantly pressed down on the iron fan and, wrapped in a terrifying, massive force, drove it backward into Doma's chest.

Ring! A sword's ring sounded; Kokushibo soared into the air, Moon Breathing and Blood Demon Art merging; merely by drawing the sword without striking, it seemed as if a sharp, intense sensation had cut across the surface of Bai Cangshu's body from a distance.

But Bai Cangshu did not care in the slightest; he still lifted his fist, Ripple surging, making a move to strike down.

Doma also would not feel fear due to being near death; it merely paused slightly because its attack had been interrupted by Bai Cangshu, and in an instant, countless ice spears fell from above.

Bai Cangshu suddenly turned his fist into a claw, grabbed Doma, and without any effort, used the opponent as a weapon, turning and swinging.

Hum! Pfft, pfft, pfft! A large swath of ice spears were shattered by Doma's own body, and with the momentum unabated, they crashed directly into Kokushibo.

Kokushibo lowered its eyelids, its eyes without a ripple, and its sword momentum erupted.

【Moon Breathing, Fourteenth Form: Catastrophe, Tenman Crescent Moon】! Kokushibo completely ignored all existences in the basement, unleashing a destructive sword momentum.

A large amount of crescent-shaped sword light gathered into a massive, vortex-like sword momentum, slashing toward the surroundings. Doma, bearing the brunt of it, was instantly sliced into several pieces, but a smile still hung on Doma's half-melted face, and its blood had already flowed everywhere.

This space was about to become a toxic burial ground.

Its Blood Demon Art was the nemesis of Breathing Style swordsmen!

Bai Cangshu exhaled white, turbid air once again.

He had inhaled a large amount of air above, and having exhaled two breaths now, his time for activity was insufficient.

But...

It was enough! The frequency of Bai Cangshu's heartbeat was so high that he could almost no longer hear his own heartbeat.

His blood felt as if it were about to burst his blood vessels.

Bai Cangshu's muscles bulged, expanding to an incredible degree.

A large amount of fresh blood flowed throughout Bai Cangshu's entire body; in Bai Cangshu's whitened eyes, everything seemed to slow down—whether it was Doma, who had been sliced into several pieces in mid-air yet still reached out to manipulate its blood into ice-blue crystals, or Kokushibo, who was constantly brandishing Kokushibo's Sword with continuous sword momentum.

Every movement appeared like slow motion in Bai Cangshu's eyes.

Bai Cangshu himself was no exception; he felt as if he were trapped in an invisible quagmire.

Every move he made was burdened with a weight of a thousand jun.

Not enough, this was still not enough! Bai Cangshu was so focused that he did not notice his own "fighting spirit," which was intensely strong in the eyes of others due to his extreme concentration, slowly disappearing.

Bai Cangshu looked at Kokushibo; the opponent's muscles, blood, and even breathing rhythm all became incredibly clear.

He did not just start to perceive the flow of his own blood; he also began to grasp the flow of Kokushibo's blood, and that vortex-like, complex sword momentum became clear to Bai Cangshu bit by bit.

Boom! The next moment, the terrifying sword momentum swept through the surroundings, and this basement, which could have been considered sturdy, collapsed with a roar, and a large amount of dust and smoke submerged everything.

Kokushibo frowned.

The Fighting Spirit had disappeared...

"Ah!"

A miserable cry emerged.

It was Nakime! Kokushibo was instantly startled; it subconsciously turned around and swung its sword toward the direction where Nakime was, the sword momentum like a crescent moon.

Pfft! The smoke was instantly cut open by the sword wind, but the scene revealed was Kibutsuji Muzan absorbing Nakime into his own body; Nakime's body had already been more than half devoured.

"Ha~"

Whoosh! Kokushibo felt as if a wind had risen behind him, but he clearly knew that it was merely some creature exhaling all the turbid air from its lungs.

Bai Cangshu exhaled the final bit of turbid air, then took a deep breath, inhaling those ice crystals containing Doma's blood amidst Doma's cruel smile.

At this moment, Bai Cangshu's height had already exceeded two meters, his muscles seemed ready to explode, and his meridians were clearly bulging.

But what concerned Kokushibo was that the blisters on the opponent's body surface caused by high heat, and the wounds cut by his own sword wind, had all completely vanished.

Circles of Ripple emanated from the opponent's fists, looking like two ribbons.

"Muzan, Doma and Kokushibo want to fight me to the death, yet you are secretly trying to escape, is that it?"

Bai Cangshu held his right hand fingers together like a blade, the Ripple was stirred up and began to shake violently.

Creak, creak, creak...

The terrifying muscles were compressed inch by inch, and the sound of Bai Cangshu's heartbeat, which had almost merged into a single continuous tone, was clearly audible to the ears of the few man-eating Ghosts.

The next moment, golden light, like a great spear several meters long, suddenly pierced through the entire underground space.

【Immortal Way Great Demon Spear】! Boom! (End of chapter)
