Chapter 74

The intelligence detailing the battle process with the two Upper Rank Kizuki was officially issued and arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters at dawn.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who couldn't sleep due to the torture of illness, received this report at the first moment. After reading the first page of the report, his hands holding the letter trembled involuntarily.

Enduring the excitement to finish reading the entire content, Kagaya Ubuyashiki let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had exhaled all the depression accumulated over so many years.

Hearing the movement, Amane Ubuyashiki entered the room and saw her husband sitting by the window. She originally thought her husband would feel uncomfortable due to illness, but she didn't expect the other party to be full of smiles.

"What happened to make you so happy?" Amane Ubuyashiki walked slowly to her husband's side and put a coat on him. The wind was strong at night, and for a patient like him, if he was not careful, the next day would be a serious illness.

"Amane, do you believe that there are really people in the world who can kill demons by their own strength?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki hadn't exited the lingering excitement, his whole body trembling slightly, which led his wife to think he was very cold, so she covered him with another coat.

Amane Ubuyashiki said reproachfully: "Aren't all the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps killing demons by their own skills? What's there to be surprised about, worth letting you sit by the window in the middle of the night blowing cold wind."

"No matter how strong a swordsman is, they still need to use a Nichirin Sword to cut off a demon's neck. I am talking about the kind of person who doesn't need a Nichirin Sword and can kill a demon just by the strength of their flesh!" Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at his wife with burning eyes, his eyes as sincere as a child's.

"You should have passed the age of worshipping heroes." Amane Ubuyashiki shook her head and laughed, but soon she couldn't laugh anymore because her husband's eyes were incomparably serious, as if he were talking about something that really existed.

But this kind of thing seemed like a fantasy to everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps, because no one knew better than them how strong demons were. The existence that could crush such monsters with flesh could only be an even stronger monster!

It could never be a human!

Amane Ubuyashiki noticed the action report in her husband's hand. She took a deep breath and asked: "Is it what is written in this report that made you have this idea?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki handed the report to his wife and smiled gently: "Take a look; the content inside might overturn your imagination."

Amane Ubuyashiki took the report and looked at it for a long time. During this period, her expression changed again and again. Finally, she put down the intelligence and asked: "Is the content inside credible?"

Every piece of intelligence of the Demon Slayer Corps was transmitted at the cost of the lives of the members. The Ubuyashiki family had never questioned this, and this might be the first time.

Therefore, after Amane Ubuyashiki asked a question, she herself was stunned.

"This is the intelligence transmitted back by Kanae. As for the person mentioned in her intelligence, I mentioned him to you not long ago."

Amane Ubuyashiki began to recall every word her husband had said to her.

"Is it the Tsuguko that Mr. Himejima accepted?"

Amane Ubuyashiki suddenly realized, and then her expression gradually became shocked, "I remember it's only been a few months since he participated in the Final Selection..."

"There are always some people in this world who are gifted."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki laughed in a low voice, then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. The room became quiet, and Amane Ubuyashiki watched her husband quietly from the side.

After a long time, Kagaya Ubuyashiki said in a deep voice: "I want to hold a Hashira Meeting."

Tokyo.

As the ancestor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji is now living in the home of a pharmacist in the image of a child.

He is not for enjoying the rich life of a medical family, but for the rich medical collection of this family.

From the day he became a demon, Muzan Kibutsuji has been unswervingly chasing one thing.

The Blue Spider Lily.

No matter how many ancient books Muzan Kibutsuji flipped through, he did not find any records about the Blue Spider Lily, so much so that he doubted whether this flower really existed.

Every time he thought that the so-called Blue Spider Lily might not exist, Muzan Kibutsuji would immediately fall into extreme irritability.

The moments when Muzan Kibutsuji is in a bad mood are also when the number of missing people in Tokyo skyrockets.

Muzan, who was flipping through books, suddenly had a flash of a scene he had never seen before in his mind. In the scene, "he" was being held in someone's hand, being watched with extremely contemptuous eyes.

The look in his eyes made him instantly recall the swordsman who forced him into a desperate situation hundreds of years ago.

As more and more images flooded into his mind, Muzan's expression became increasingly ferocious. Anger even made it difficult for him to maintain the form of a child, and he almost revealed his true body.

In the intense anger, there was also a trace of indescribable fear.

How could such a person exist in the world?

Could it be that he also took some kind of special medicine?

Or... is he another demon created by the doctor besides himself?

Countless questions came one after another, sweeping Muzan's mind like a tide. The absolute power Chu Yang displayed had nothing to do with the word "human".

Because Chu Yang killed Doma and Akaza with his bare hands, Muzan did not associate the terrifying boy in his mind with the new swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps mentioned in the intelligence not long ago.

When Muzan finished watching the entire process of Akaza's death, the fear hidden deep in his soul, accompanied by deep self-doubt, began to expand crazily.

That familiar firelight like the scorching sun is a terrifying nightmare that Muzan cannot erase for his whole life! He knew very well that it was Sun Breathing!

"Impossible! I was clearly in that era and killed all the swordsmen who knew Sun Breathing!"

"This breathing style cannot still exist in the world!"

"It must be impossible!"

Muzan wanted to deny the existence of Sun Breathing, but the clear images in his mind were slapping his face hard. The domineering flames wrapping around Chu Yang's whole body could even suppress two Upper Rank Kizuki at the same time.

After seeing the flames on Chu Yang's body, Muzan was certain that the other party must be a human, because no demon in the world could resist the scorching of Sun Breathing.

Intense fear made Muzan's body start to tremble uncontrollably. As the ancestor of demons, he could not calm himself down.

The inhuman ability Chu Yang displayed far exceeded that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni at the time. At that time, although Yoriichi Tsugikuni was strong, killing demons still required the help of swords in his hands.

But Chu Yang didn't need it! He could blow up the head of an Upper Rank Kizuki with a pair of fists! "I must gather the remaining demons of the Twelve Kizuki!"

Muzan Kibutsuji endured the fear and issued a summons to his subordinates. The demons who received the order began to gather toward the Infinity Castle.

Muzan Kibutsuji brought not only a curse to the Ubuyashiki family, but also a magical ability of foresight. When the Ubuyashiki family made up their minds to eradicate Muzan Kibutsuji, the ability of foresight gradually appeared in the descendants of this family.

Relying on the ability to foresee the future, the Ubuyashiki family escaped Muzan Kibutsuji's pursuit several times.

And continuously strengthened the Demon Slayer Corps, circling with him for a thousand years.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki urgently wanted to see Chu Yang, wanting to see revelations about the future from him.

This might be the biggest turning point for the Ubuyashiki family in a thousand years.

Crows went in and out, countless messages came and went, finally converging into two big characters.

Assemble!

For a time, the Hashira distributed in various places temporarily put down their work and returned to headquarters at the fastest speed.

Kanae, who returned to the Butterfly Mansion to recuperate, also received the order.

But unlike other Hashira, she had an extra condolence from Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

The assembly time was five days later. Her body had recovered quite a bit by then, so she would not miss this Hashira Meeting.

Chu Yang naturally also received the order to assemble; he was the protagonist of this meeting.

Inside the Butterfly Mansion.

Shinobu Kocho, who had just changed the gauze for her sister, saw Chu Yang standing in the courtyard sunbathing as soon as she left the room.

The other party was lying under a cherry blossom tree enjoying the rare sunshine.

It had been raining continuously for the past few days.

Shinobu Kocho stood on the spot and watched Chu Yang for a long time. Her face gradually turned red, thinking of the scene where she was unreasonable to Chu Yang last time.

Although she could convince herself that being concerned leads to chaos is human nature, Shinobu Kocho still felt a bit sorry in her heart. If it weren't for Chu Yang, she might have really lost her only relative forever.

"What are you doing here alone?" Shinobu Kocho, who wanted to apologize, couldn't care about being embarrassed. She bit the bullet and walked to Chu Yang, words on her lips, wanting to speak but stopping.

"There's no need for awkward chatting that you know the answer to. If you want to apologize, be straightforward; don't waste time doing meaningless things." The half-asleep Chu Yang glanced at her and mercilessly broke the girl's embarrassment.

Shinobu Kocho glared at him in shame and anger, but she didn't continue to be stubborn, honestly saying sorry to Chu Yang.

A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Yang's mouth, nodding and saying: "Very good, I accept your apology."

Hearing this, Shinobu Kocho felt relieved, suddenly feeling that Chu Yang was much more pleasing to the eye.

She asked with a smile: "I heard that you are going to the Hashira Meeting with my sister this time?"

"After all, I killed two demons ranked high in the Upper Rank Kizuki. Headquarters definitely needs a detailed understanding of the whole process. Kanae's report alone is not enough."

Chu Yang looked at the sky leisurely, and Shinobu Kocho watched him from the side, always feeling that he didn't seem to care much about the current tense situation.

Thinking of this, Shinobu Kocho suddenly became curious again. She asked cautiously: "What is the strength of the Upper Rank Kizuki really like? Is it really as Sister Kanae said, that it is difficult to rival them with only one Hashira?"

Chu Yang picked up a few fallen cherry blossoms and chewed them dryly. Only when the fragrance of flowers filled his mouth did he say vaguely: "It depends on the situation. Even among the Hashira, there is still a gap in strength. If it were Mr. Himejima, he could still suppress one of Doma or Akaza in a one-on-one."

Shinobu Kocho blurted out, "Then what if it's like you, one against two?"

Chu Yang did not answer Shinobu Kocho's question.

He began to appreciate the ever-changing flowing clouds wholeheartedly.

Shinobu Kocho did not continue to ask.

Although she didn't get a direct answer from Chu Yang, she already had her own answer in her heart.

"You two are quite leisurely." Kanae, wearing a pure white haori, walked over slowly. Her complexion was a bit ruddier than before.

"Sister, you should rest more in the room!" Shinobu Kocho hurriedly walked toward Kanae, wanting to reach out to support the other party, but was rejected by Kanae.

"I've rested enough. It's time to prepare to attend the Hashira Meeting. Chu Yang, you go and pack up too." Kanae smiled.

Her voice was gentle, telling the story, and would not give people a feeling of being forced.

"I have nothing to pack. If you have no problems, we can set off now." Chu Yang stood up and patted the dirt on his body.

Shinobu Kocho turned her head and glared at Chu Yang, saying: "Sister's injuries haven't healed yet, can't you wait a bit? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's not that he is in a hurry, it's me!" Kanae tapped Shinobu Kocho's forehead with her finger and said crossly: "Other Hashira have arrived at headquarters one after another. If we don't set off, do you want the Master and them to wait like that?"

The aggrieved Shinobu Kocho had her eyes covered with a layer of water mist, looking at Kanae pitifully.

"Anyway, during the time I'm away, you and Makomo look after the Butterfly Mansion, and take good care of Kanao. She is still young and has experienced some bad things..."

As Kanae spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller. Shinobu Kocho looked up and found that her sister was as teary-eyed as she was.

Kanae suddenly hugged Shinobu Kocho tightly, "Shinobu, wait a little longer, we can end all this soon. By then, you can be an ordinary girl, enjoy your own life, don't have to run around in the Butterfly Mansion all day, and worry about my safety."

"Don't worry about me, sister. With you here, I have always been very happy." Shinobu Kocho hugged Kanae quietly, and the feeling of loss and recovery in her heart became more intense.

After a while, the two sisters separated, and Shinobu Kocho stopped playing with her little emotions, apologizing to Chu Yang solemnly again.

Chu Yang waved his hand, not taking it to heart at all.

Subsequently, Chu Yang and Kanae left the Butterfly Mansion and went to headquarters accompanied by the 【Hidden Unit】. Although the situation was urgent, the two still followed the rules and covered their eyes tightly.

The more critical the moment, the more necessary it is to maintain a normal heart and do daily things well.

Chu Yang was tall, and it took a lot of effort for the 【Hidden Unit】 members to send him to headquarters. By the time the two arrived, the sun had already set.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki and a group of Hashira were waiting for them.

Before untying the restraints on his eyes, Chu Yang already felt a familiar aura.

Gyomei Himejima stood at the forefront of the Hashira, walking toward Chu Yang. A compassionate smile appeared on his face, and he personally untied the black cloth covering Chu Yang's eyes.

"Well done." Gyomei Himejima said softly.

Then he turned around and led Chu Yang and Kanae into the courtyard.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki stood in the courtyard, watching Chu Yang quietly. At this time, although he was not completely blind, his vision was already very blurry, and he could only roughly see the boy's outline.

The two lines of sight met in the air. Just for a moment, many images appeared in Kagaya Ubuyashiki's spiritual world.

The images flashed continuously and finally settled.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He walked quickly to Chu Yang and held the other party's hand excitedly.

"You are the one who ends everything!"

The one who ends everything.

Everyone's expression changed wildly. The weight of Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words was extraordinary, representing the nearly thousand-year-old grudge between the Demon Slayer Corps and demons since its birth, which could finally see the dawn of completion.

Kanae, standing not far behind Chu Yang, covered her mouth excitedly, tears flickering in her eyes.

She came today just to hear this sentence from the Master.

"The one who ends everything." Gyomei Himejima put his hands together, lowered his head and muttered continuously, tears streaming down his face.

"Hahaha, my luck seems to be very good. I haven't been a Hashira for long, and I can actually realize the wish of killing all demons."

While others were stunned, a boy who looked about the same age as Kanae laughed heartily. His golden-red long hair like the sun attracted Chu Yang's attention.

Most of the Hashira of this generation were of similar age, including Kanae, who were about seventeen or eighteen years old, quite young, and would only be high school seniors in modern times.

They also became Hashira almost at the same time.

Tengen Uzui and Gyomei Himejima were slightly older, one twenty-three and the other twenty-five.

"Kyojuro Rengoku, stop joking. That kid is so young and has only joined the Demon Slayer Corps for a few months. You don't really think he can kill an Upper Rank Demon alone, do you?"

"In my opinion, he probably used some little tricks to deceive Kanae. Those two demons were not Upper Rank Kizuki at all."

The boy who mocked Chu Yang had a long scar on his face, crossing the bridge of his nose, with silver-white spiky hair, which was very eye-catching.

The most important thing was his attitude, which was the most arrogant among all the people Chu Yang had ever seen.

Chu Yang could clearly feel...

This white-haired boy didn't take anyone in the courtyard seriously.

"Shut up! Sanemi!" Kanae looked at the person who was spouting nonsense in front of her angrily and said coldly: "In your eyes, I can't even distinguish between true and false? Or do you think that any two random demons could make me have no power to fight back?"

Speaking of this, Kanae pressed her hand on the Nichirin Sword at her waist and said in a deep voice: "If you look down on my strength so much, why don't you try it yourself!"

"I didn't mean that, Kanae!" Sanemi Shinazugawa, who realized he had said the wrong thing, was a bit panicked. He hurriedly defended: "I mean, those two demons might be Lower Rank Demons. Even if they are not as strong as the Upper Rank Demons, but..."

Sanemi Shinazugawa's explanation made Kanae's expression increasingly unkind.

"Really can't speak, Senior Sanemi." The youngest Mitsuri Kanroji stared with big eyes and shook her head helplessly: "With such a clumsy mouth, how did you live until today?"

"You guy, pay attention to how you speak!" Sanemi Shinazugawa turned back and scolded, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to eat someone.

Chu Yang reached out and pressed the sword that Kanae had pulled out halfway back, smiling: "There is a better way to prove it."

Saying that, he walked toward Sanemi Shinazugawa and hooked his finger, saying, "Why don't you come and try?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa revealed a cruel smile, "You don't think I'll spoil you, do you?"

Kanae frowned again, revealing an unhappy expression.

"You look like a chuunibyou boy who is sick for love." Chu Yang smacked his lips, mocking with a smile: "You are eighteen years old, you shouldn't be like this, right?"

"Bastard." Sanemi Shinazugawa rushed toward Chu Yang, his speed extremely fast, and the airflow around his body surged. Obviously, he used a breathing style, just didn't draw his sword to perform sword skills.

As a practitioner of Wind Breathing, Sanemi Shinazugawa is known for his speed. Whether it is the speed of attack or the speed of movement, he is the strongest among all Pillars.

In the eyes of others, Sanemi Shinazugawa suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of Chu Yang. Before Chu Yang could react, his fist had already swung toward Chu Yang's head.

Gyomei Himejima and Kyojuro Rengoku appeared beside Kagaya Ubuyashiki at the same time, protecting him. Others were also moving toward this side. They felt that regardless of Chu Yang's strength, Sanemi Shinazugawa himself might hurt the Master.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki stared at the two intently, not even blinking his eyes.

Sanemi Shinazugawa was still decent, not using a weapon, but attacking Chu Yang with bare hands. Perhaps deep down he thought Chu Yang was not worthy of him using a weapon to deal with. However, just as Sanemi Shinazugawa was about to hit Chu Yang's cheek, I don't know if it was an illusion, Sanemi Shinazugawa seemed to see Chu Yang smiling in a trance.

To be precise, he was smiling at him.

Sanemi Shinazugawa was stunned for a moment.

Why is he smiling? After Sanemi Shinazugawa's fist hit Chu Yang's cheek, a crisp sound suddenly came.

The sound of bones breaking.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's mouth curled slightly upward.

The pain of facial bone fracture is very strong. I hope this kid in front of me doesn't shout too loudly, so as not to look like I'm bullying him.

The next second, Sanemi Shinazugawa's expression gradually began to look wrong.

He only felt a heart-piercing pain coming from his finger bones, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

Only then did Sanemi Shinazugawa react that it was his own bones that were broken, not his.

That guy didn't even dodge, taking the punch head-on with his face!

Sanemi Shinazugawa was horrified, instinctively wanting to distance himself from Chu Yang, but the moment he withdrew his hand, he suddenly felt his arm being clamped fiercely by something.

Sanemi Shinazugawa looked up and saw that Chu Yang had already grabbed his arm, and the smile and chill on his face were becoming increasingly rich.

He shivered, and the feeling of fear flashed by.

He finally reached out his other hand toward the Nichirin Sword.

Chu Yang noticed Sanemi Shinazugawa's action but did not stop it. Sanemi Shinazugawa's resistance was not as intense as Doma's to him.

He just wanted everyone present to know his strength.

Sanemi Shinazugawa was just a pitiful reference object.

Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was already furious, no longer cared. He drew his Nichirin Sword and slashed at Chu Yang's hand without saying a word.

He didn't believe that even so, Chu Yang would still not let go.

Everyone watched this scene with bated breath. Gyomei Himejima wanted to stop it, but was pulled by the sleeve by Kagaya Ubuyashiki behind him.

"Don't move."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki said softly, letting the Hashira beside him stand on the spot.

Kanae was relatively calm because she knew that Sanemi Shinazugawa's Nichirin Sword might not really be able to cut Chu Yang's hand.

Thus, under the eyes of everyone, Sanemi Shinazugawa's Nichirin Sword and Chu Yang's arm collided fiercely, sparks splashing instantly, like two pieces of metal with the same hardness colliding.

Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.

Among them, the most unbelievable was Sanemi Shinazugawa himself!

But Chu Yang didn't give him time to react. After the Nichirin Sword fell, Chu Yang raised his right fist and smashed it fiercely on Sanemi Shinazugawa's face.

Puchi!

Blood bloomed into a brilliant flower in the air.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa let out a wail in mid-air. One can imagine how much pain he was enduring at this time.

Even if Chu Yang held back, his facial bones were probably fractured.

After landing, Sanemi Shinazugawa's head was dizzy. He struggled to get up, but his limbs couldn't exert any strength.

Blood blurred his vision, and he squinted his eyes and stared at Chu Yang.

Just one punch! Just one round! He was defeated by this person in front of him with an absolute advantage!

The other party didn't even use a Nichirin Sword!

And he used all his strength! Defeat!

An undoubted defeat! With Sanemi Shinazugawa's arrogance, how could he endure such a defeat? He gripped the Nichirin Sword desperately.

"Wind Breathing·Ninth Form·Idaten Typhoon!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa quickly rushed to Chu Yang, used his full strength, and made continuous rotating slashes around Chu Yang. The Nichirin Sword slashed out a large number of wind blades, pulling each other, like a real typhoon.

The position where Chu Yang was located was the eye of the storm, experiencing the most terrifying attack!

Kanae walked forward a few steps nervously. The increasingly fierce battle between the two sides had exceeded her expectations.

She was worried that if they continued to fight like this, if Chu Yang couldn't hold back, he might really beat Sanemi Shinazugawa to death.

After all, in a battle of this level, it is difficult to stop at the point.

Countless wind blades scraped across Chu Yang's body surface like steel knives. Across the tornado like a wall, people could only vaguely hear the sound of metal collision, and sparks that burst out from time to time, as brilliant as fireworks.

Only Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was in the center of the storm like Chu Yang, could clearly see that Chu Yang didn't specifically defend against these dense wind blades at all. He just stood on the spot quietly, looking at himself playfully.

That look was as if he was saying...

Is this your all-out attack? Sanemi Shinazugawa was very unwilling. He wanted to roar, but his mouth was left with only bitterness.

Yes.

This is my all.

Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had fallen into self-doubt, had his eyes gradually become blank. The double blow of physiology and spirit completely defeated this young genius.

He couldn't hold on anymore.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's eyes went dark, his consciousness fell into a muddle. Besides being able to hear some anxious calls for help in his ears, his body gradually became numb, feeling that the whole world was stripping himself away.

There was a feeling of the soul running out of the body.

If Chu Yang hadn't held back, his life would probably have stopped on this day.

Everyone looked at Genya Shinazugawa, who fell to the ground unconscious. Except for Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Kanae, who were relatively calm, many people's expressions had changed several times, and their heads had become a mess.

The fact that a Hashira was defeated was already horrifying enough, but what was even more horrifying was the absolute advantage Chu Yang displayed in the battle.

If this were a real life-and-death battle, it would mean that Sanemi Shinazugawa's end would be being abused and killed by Chu Yang.

"Is this the gap between the Hashira and the Upper Rank Kizuki?" Tengen Uzui's fear flashed away, and he asked in a deep voice: "With such a powerful enemy, how can we defeat the other party?"

His question made most of the people present silent. Only Kyojuro Rengoku and Gyomei Himejima were unaffected, their expressions as usual.

The hearts of these two were incomparably tough. Although they would also feel fear, they would choose to face the enemy directly.

Chu Yang carried the unconscious Sanemi Shinazugawa back, then threw him to Kanae to take care of, and said to Tengen Uzui: "You said one sentence wrong just now. This is not the gap between you and the Upper Rank Demons, but the gap between the Upper Rank Demons and me."

Tengen Uzui's face flushed instantly.

Obanai Iguro and Mitsuri Kanroji whispered to each other on the side.

"Did you see that? There is no injury on that guy at all, and even his clothes are not broken!"

"Yeah, I saw it. If I hadn't seen him during the day, I would definitely think he was a demon. This is not something a human can do."

"However, he is really strong, defeating Sanemi Shinazugawa so easily. Although his temper is not very good, his strength is undeniable."

"Honestly speaking, Sanemi is stronger than me. If the battle just now was me, it might have ended more simply."

Giyu Tomioka stood quietly on the side, listening to the conversation between the two, nodding silently in agreement.

In fact, he had a good impression of Chu Yang. Although he had never met the other party, he heard some things about Chu Yang from Sakonji Urokodaki and Makomo.

Chu Yang killed the Hand Demon in the Final Selection and helped Sabito fulfill his wish. For this, Giyu Tomioka was very grateful.

Therefore, he had no other distractions about Chu Yang's extraordinary strength, just simply feeling that it was worth respecting that the other party could walk to this step as a human.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's emotions were very excited, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. He had already seen the tip of the iceberg of the future, but after witnessing it with his own eyes, it was still difficult to suppress himself.

If it weren't for his illness, he even wanted to shout out loud and vent all the resentment of the Ubuyashiki family for thousands of years.

"How did you do it? Can you teach me?"

Kyojuro Rengoku stepped out of the crowd and walked straight to Chu Yang, staring at the other party with clear eyes. If it were someone else, it would probably be difficult to put down their face and ask for advice humbly.

If someone else asked like this, Chu Yang would probably brush it off with a word of talent, but facing Kyojuro Rengoku's sincere eyes, it was difficult for him to deal with it casually.

"Not long ago, when I was out on a mission, I accidentally obtained a breathing style with a long history. This breathing style looks very similar to Flame Breathing at first glance, but it is completely different."

"Later I found out that this breathing style is called Sun Breathing, created by a man named Yoriichi Tsugikuni..."

Chu Yang told the origin of the breathing style and the story of Yoriichi Tsugikuni in an orderly manner, but the plain words set off a shocking wave in everyone's hearts.

After Yoriichi Tsugikuni passed away, the Demon Slayer Corps once suffered crazy retaliation from Muzan Kibutsuji and suffered huge blows several times in history, almost cutting off the inheritance, so this period of history was already unknown.

Through Chu Yang's narrative, they finally understood how the breathing style was born.

Even Kagaya Ubuyashiki, as the head of the family, heard it for the first time. Chu Yang's narrative solved some of the confusion he had about his family and the Demon Slayer Corps in his early years one by one.

It turns out that the Demon Slayer Corps once had such a glorious day, and it was only a little bit away from completely exterminating the existence of demons.

"Can I see what Sun Breathing looks like?" When Kagaya Ubuyashiki said this, hopeful light flickered in his eyes.

In fact, not only him, but the expressions of others were similar.

Even though Kanae had already seen it once in the battle with Doma, she still wanted to see that reassuring powerful force again.

Chu Yang showed the state of Sun Breathing to everyone. When the flame-like airflow wrapped around him, the momentum looked very similar to Flame Breathing.

But soon everyone noticed the difference.

The temperature produced by Sun Breathing was much higher than that of Flame Breathing, and there was indeed a feeling of being scorched by the scorching sun. Thinking of the sunlight that demons fear most, everyone could understand why Muzan Kibutsuji, as the ancestor of demons, would fear the practitioners of this breathing style.

When everyone thought that was all, Chu Yang borrowed Kyojuro Rengoku's Nichirin Sword and began to practice Sun Breathing.

The thirteen forms of sword skills of Sun Breathing were polished by Yoriichi Tsugikuni and were seamless. Every movement was perfect, with a beauty that was difficult to describe in words.

The sword skills of Flame Breathing would carry flame-shaped fighting spirit, while the Hinokami Kagura practiced by Chu Yang, in addition to similar fighting spirit, had a clear white light circle in the center, like the sun, shining brightly.

Just for a moment, Kyojuro Rengoku was completely attracted by Sun Breathing.

Flame Breathing has been passed down to this day, and some sword skills have long been lost. Other breathing styles have the same situation, so when the perfect thirteen forms of sword skills of Hinokami Kagura appeared before their eyes, they had a feeling that the missing parts were completed in their subconscious.

Kyojuro Rengoku and Gyomei Himejima both found inspiration to improve their own sword skills from it.

From this moment on, they were incomparably certain that the Sun Breathing in Chu Yang's mouth was the origin of the breathing style.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki stood at the furthest place feeling the heat wave emitted from Chu Yang. Now it was late at night, and the temperature dropped sharply, but he had the illusion of embracing the noon sun.

After practicing several times, Chu Yang stopped, with a layer of fine sweat on his body. Every time he practiced Hinokami Kagura, he was breaking through his own limits.

The warm sunshine disappeared, and everyone's faces showed expressions of wanting more.

In just over ten minutes, they benefited a lot.

"If everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps could practice Sun Breathing, I'm afraid the demons would have been expelled long ago, right?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki said with great emotion.

Chu Yang shook his head and said: "Sun Breathing is very strong, but the threshold for practice is also very high. Not everyone can practice to a profound realm. Hundreds of years ago, besides Yoriichi Tsugikuni, there were other practitioners, but in the end, they were all killed by Muzan Kibutsuji."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded and smiled bitterly: "You are right, it was me who thought too naturally."

Having done things to this point, Chu Yang didn't mind doing a little more.

"Sun Breathing is very powerful, but it doesn't mean that the derived breathing styles are bad. In fact, after Full Concentration Constant Middle, no matter what kind of breathing style it is, it can raise human body functions to a higher level."

"When reaching that realm, strange marks will appear on the body. Yoriichi Tsugikuni possessed these marks from birth and also possessed more powerful abilities."

Chu Yang continued to tell the concept of marks, but in the process of telling, he concealed the fact that marks would overdraw life.

Because of this drawback, Chu Yang could solve it. Since marks would overdraw vitality, wouldn't it be fine if Chu Yang supplemented them?

The mark overdrawing vitality is different from the situation of Tanjuro. The latter was suffering from a serious illness, and there was not much Chu Yang could do.

Supplementing vitality and curing terminal illness are two things.

Chu Yang wouldn't know how to see a doctor.

But if someone could cure Tanjuro's serious illness, Chu Yang could restore his vitality to its peak and let him live a normal life.

"In other words, as long as we awaken the marks, we can also be as strong as you?" Tengen Uzui looked at Chu Yang with burning eyes.

"It varies from person to person." Chu Yang replied: "If you really awaken, you can come to me and try."

Tengen Uzui smiled and really showed an eager expression.

After knowing the concept of marks, Giyu Tomioka, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "Then how should we awaken the marks?"

"Very simple." As soon as Chu Yang's words fell, marks began to appear on his face and arms, the shape a bit like the feathers of some animal, and a bit like scales.

"Among the swordsmen, if someone awakens the marks, others will also awaken one after another, because the marks are like breathing and will resonate." Chu Yang said indifferently: "You just need to let nature take its course."

Kyojuro Rengoku scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "It feels like cheating."

Chu Yang shook his head and said: "Mark awakening is not the peak of the breathing style."

"Although the marks can be 'passed on', you must master the movements of the breathing style more accurately on the existing basis, and try to exert the greatest power with the smallest movements. In this process, the mind will gradually become transparent."

"With the opening of the five senses, you will feel more and more information originating from the body. This information, which is usually shielded by the brain, will make you feel very painful. You must persist and learn to control it."

"Then you can close some unnecessary things, making all your movements as fast and accurate as blinking, hiding your own aura at any time. By then, a transparent world will appear in your brain. This state is also called the Transparent World."

"In the state of the Transparent World, human body functions will be greatly improved, and you can judge the flow and ups and downs of blood vessels in the body through the enemy's breathing, seeing the enemy's movements and weaknesses clearly."

Everyone listened intently, fearing to miss a little bit of key information.

Until a cold wind blew in the middle of the night, making Kagaya Ubuyashiki cough fiercely for a while, everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly helped Kagaya Ubuyashiki into the house.

Everyone sat down in the brightly lit hall and began to discuss the next countermeasures.

"My appearance and the death of the Upper Rank Kizuki should have already attracted the attention of Muzan Kibutsuji. What kind of attitude he will take is unknown, but it is nothing more than two situations."

"Either he will use the strongest power to eliminate me before I become stronger, or he will fear my power and hide somewhere like he did hundreds of years ago."

Listening to Chu Yang's opinion, everyone's expressions were very different. These two possibilities represent two extremes.

No one spoke in the hall, and everyone was thinking about which situation was more likely to happen.

"In fact, no matter how Muzan Kibutsuji chooses, we must do our own things first."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked around, his gentle gaze gently brushing over everyone, "Only by awakening the marks and comprehending the Transparent World can we fight against him. Before that, any preparation we make is futile."

"Therefore, starting today, I want to temporarily shrink all the power of the Demon Slayer Corps and not give the other party any chance to erode us. Wait until you have all fully awakened the marks, and then go all out to launch the final decisive battle with Muzan Kibutsuji."

At the same time, inside the Infinity Castle, Muzan Kibutsuji gathered a large number of demons.

Besides the Twelve Kizuki, there were many demons who had survived for many years and comprehended Blood Demon Art.

Muzan Kibutsuji only did one thing.

Give them a large amount of blood, letting them move toward evolution with an extremely weak probability.

Most of the demons present would die because they couldn't withstand his blood.

But Muzan didn't care at all.

Inside the Infinity Castle, blood surged like a tide.

The weirdness was mixed with a bit of indescribable beauty.
