In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 163 He Dao
Qingshui discovered that the high temperature generated when using the Breath of Separation was enough to offset some of the ice crystals, and if Lightning Release Chakra was incorporated into it to enhance its power, the effect would be even better.

However, Douma's blood demon art has a too large range and produces too many ice crystals. Even clean water will still absorb a small amount of ice crystals.

But the impact is not big. You just need to use the technique of extracting the ice crystals to get rid of them before they affect your body, and there will be no problem.

After careful calculation, I found that my ability was actually quite capable of restraining Douma.

"Hey! I say, do you want to become a demon too, and then come with me to bring the heads of the two pillars to find Master Muzan? You are so powerful, you can definitely become an upper-rank demon, um...but I have a good relationship with the other upper-rank demons. What if there is a bloody battle and someone dies?"

Douma waved his fan, creating a large number of ice crystals and icicles to attack Shimizu and Yoshiichi, while smiling brightly.

Qingshui was too lazy to waste time talking to this guy.

He has already roughly judged Douma's strength, and he is indeed worthy of the name of Upper Two.

At present, he probably hasn't used his full strength. At least, he hasn't used his strongest move, the Water Lily Bodhisattva.

It's almost a youthful version of Susanoo.

But for Qingshui, this is just the right thing.

The Three Lower Moons are too weak and cannot give him enough pressure to open up a transparent world, but Douma is just right.

Shimizu's figure kept flashing like lightning, and combined with Yoshiichi's technique, he put great pressure on Douma.

As soon as the score was opened, every move of Douma was reflected in Shimizu's mind like a mirror, which enabled him to accurately capture every flaw of Douma.

"Oh my, you're getting more and more powerful. Is it similar to Akaza-senpai's ability to sense fighting spirit? But it's a pity that even with this ability, Akaza-senpai can't beat me!"

Douma said with a grin, waving his fan again.

"Vampire Art·Crystalized Prince!"

Several little ice men whose shapes and appearances are exactly the same as Douma appear, and use their abilities together to besiege Shimizu and Yoshiichi.

"Blood Demon Art: Cold White Princess!"

Ice lotuses in the shape of young girls emerged, blowing out endless cold air, almost freezing everything around them.

Qingshui didn't dare to use the breathing method anymore. He controlled Yuan Yiyi's sword to block in front of him and retreated quickly.

This kind of all-round, large-scale attack with no blind spots would not give him the opportunity to attack even if he could capture it with the music score.

Fortunately, the Sun Blade in Yoshiichi's hand was also affected by the electric current and turned red due to the high temperature, turning into a red sword. At this time, he displayed the Tenth Form of Sun Breathing, and the radiant light formed a vortex slash in front of him that bloomed like the sun.

The high temperature of the red sword combined with the breathing of the sun activated the solar energy in the Sun Blade to the maximum extent, producing a breath as hot as the scorching sun, which eliminated the cold wave in front of Qingshui.

However, the temperature of the knife gradually decreased due to heat transfer, and it disappeared from the state of a red knife.

The damage caused to ghosts by the red sword made with the help of external objects is the same as that caused by the red sword when its true power reaches its limit. However, in the latter case, as long as the grip is strong enough, the Sun Wheel Sword can be transformed into a red sword with a single swing of the sword, and it is not so easily cooled down by the cold air.

"Breathing of Li, Second Form, Dance of Li."

Shimizu seized the opportunity, thrust forward with all his strength, and slashed towards Douma's head.

"Dang~!"

The golden iron fan collided with the Sun Blade, and a layer of frost spread out from the iron fan and penetrated towards Qingshui's Sun Blade.

At this time, the ice men Douma also waved their ice fans, creating vines that attacked Qingshui, and the ice lotus snow princesses exhaled cold air again.

This time, the Nichirin sword in Yuichiki's hand is not a red sword.

"Ding ding dang dang", the sound of swords breaking ice crystals rang out. Although suppressed by Douma, Qingshui was not worried but happy.

At least with the music score, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to protect himself.

If he wants to run, Douma can't kill him. At most, he can only activate the mechanism inside the Yoriichi Shiki and use the Sun Breathing rigidly at the cost of losing flexibility and some combat power to temporarily delay Douma and cover his retreat.

What surprised Shimizu was that Douma did indeed put a lot of pressure on him.

The realm above the score seemed to be waving towards Qingshui vaguely.

But in the next moment, the pressure suddenly decreased a lot.

"Breath of the Insect·Dance of the Bee Fangs·True Drag!"

"The breath of love, the second shape, the troubled love!"

Two nimble figures quickly rushed in from the edge of the battlefield and went straight for Douma's head.

It was Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji.

"Ah! Two beautiful ladies, I finally waited for you!"

Seeing the two girls coming, Douma showed a seemingly sunny smile and stretched out his hand to create countless icicles and shot them out.

"Shimizu-senpai! We're here to help you!"

Mitsuri Kanroji wielded the Nichirin Sword, splitting the icicles that were shot at her, and spoke to Shimizu.

Even though she joined the Demon Slayer Corps several months earlier than Shimizu and became a Pillar at the same time, she still called Shimizu "senior" out of habit.

Shinobu Kocho relied on her extremely fast speed to dodge Douma's attacks and looked at the latter with hatred.

Her sister, the former flower-style Kocho Kanae, died at the hands of Douma.

Her lungs were almost completely frozen. If the sun had not risen at that time and Kanae Kocho had not happened to have her last breath left, she would have almost not even had the chance to see her sister for the last time.

It was from Kanae that she learned about the various characteristics of her enemy as the Second Upper Moon, and she realized that the demon in front of her was her enemy.

"Wow, it's very fast. It's faster than any other pillar I've ever seen before."

Douma couldn't help but admire.

Qingshui frowned.

Why are these two causing trouble?

"Shinobu Kocho, Mitsuri, go to the village first to protect the swordsmith. There is another upper-rank demon there."

Qingshui held his sword in front of him and spoke to the two of them.

"Qingshui, you and Mitsuri go first, leave this to me. Once you've dealt with the issues in the village, hand it over to me."

Shinobu Kocho answered as she flipped her petite body around to avoid the attack.

She wanted revenge, but she also knew that her enemy was powerful.

In her opinion, the only way to take revenge is to join the game herself and let Douma devour her, while also devouring the wisteria flower toxin that she has injected into her body for a long time, weakening Douma. Finally, Shimizu and Mitsuri, who have dealt with the enemies on the other side, will come over to finish off the matter and kill Douma!

She also believed that as companions, the other two pillars would never watch her die, so she had to send them away first.
