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

Chapter 229 Cooperation
"You came to me for cooperation, it must be to deal with Muzan."

Tamayo looked at Kiyomizu.

"Yes, now is the best chance to defeat Muzan. We need Ms. Tamayo's assistance to increase our chances of victory as much as possible."

Shimizu replied to Tamayo.

And Tamayo shook her head.

"No, the best chance to defeat Muzan actually happened four hundred years ago. I was there at the time, but unfortunately, I failed in the end."

"Is it the period of the first generation of swordsmen? According to the records of the Demon Slayer Corps, the pillars of that generation almost killed all of the Twelve Demon Moons of the Demon Slayer Corps, which frightened Muzan so much that he stayed indoors for decades. This was the greatest achievement in the fight against evil spirits in human history."

Tianyin's eyes lit up and asked.

"Well, among the swordsmen of that generation, there was an ancestor swordsman who created the breathing method. His name was Yoriichi Tsugikoku. He was the strongest pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps for hundreds of years. Most of the upper-rank demons at that time died at his hands. He also severely injured Muzan and even nearly killed him. It was at that time that I broke free from Muzan's control. Unfortunately, Muzan had the ability to split himself, so he finally escaped."

Tamayo sighed, recalled the scene from four hundred years ago, and continued:
"I have studied demon blood for hundreds of years. I have developed a poison from Muzan's blood that can prevent him from splitting. However, it can only be effective once. If you fail to kill him, then after Muzan decomposes the poison, he will evolve resistance to it with his ability. If you want to defeat Muzan, you must make me believe that you have the same ability as the swordsman four hundred years ago, the ability to kill Muzan."

Qingshui said:

"Ms. Tamayo, please try whatever you want. Excuse me, although you two are quite capable, but..."

Qingshui shook his head slightly.

The abilities of these two people tend to be psychedelic, and although their physical fitness is pretty good among ghosts, it is not enough to compare with the Twelve Ghost Moons.

Under his hands, I guess I can't even withstand a single blow.

Tamayo also frowned slightly in embarrassment.

Yushiro couldn't hold back when he saw this:
“Hey! Don’t think you can speak rudely to Miss Tamayo just because you are the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps! I warn you, if you dare to…”

"Alright, Yushiro."

Tamayo gently pressed Yushiro's shoulders.

"I'm sorry, Yushiro is just like that."

When Yushiro was touched by Tamayo, his face immediately turned red, his eyes became blurred, and he seemed to be floating.

"Hehehe... Lady Tamayo... You are so gentle, so beautiful..."

Yushiro could hardly hide the perverted expression on his face.

"But I think the key to proving your ability lies with you, not us."

Tamayo added.

"Yeah, yeah! Master Tamayo is right!"

Yushiro kept nodding.

"Cough cough."

Shimizu Tactics coughed and turned his gaze towards Murata.

Bragging seems inauthentic.

Now it's my turn to take the stage.

Murata immediately understood, stood up, put one hand on his chest, bent over, and pointed a hand at Shimizu.

"Ms. Tamayo, I think I should reintroduce Lord Uesugi to you."

"At the age of sixteen, without having mastered the breathing method, he defeated the evil spirit with his flesh and blood." "After only reading it twice, he mastered a breathing method. In two months, he mastered the Changzhong breathing method and possessed the strength of a Class A swordsman."

"He then created a new breathing method and successively killed the Lower String 3, Upper String 5, and Upper String 2. He killed two of the Upper String demons in one night."

"At the age of 18, he invented a number of weapons against demons. After the Ubuyashiki clan experienced turmoil, he was recognized by the lord and became the acting leader of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Qingshui touched his nose pretending to be embarrassed.

He is actually quite thick-skinned, but he still has to pretend to be reserved at times like this.

Zhu Shi's eyes changed immediately when he looked at Shimizu.

"You killed two upper-rank demons? In one night?"

Shimizu nodded and then drew out the Nichirin Sword.

"Lord Jushi!"

Yushiro immediately opened his arms and stood in front of Tamayo, looking alert.

Qingshui slashed his sword toward the sky, creating a magnificent sword energy, then made a sword flower and placed the Sun Wheel Sword in front of him.

"Ms. Tamayo, you should have seen a Nichirin sword like this."

Tamayo looked at the red blade, took light steps, and stretched out her finger to touch the sharp blade.

"No! Master Tamayo's beautiful body! How can it be harmed by this broken sword!"

Yushiro bit his finger into his mouth and looked at Tamayo's finger with a loving expression.

A drop of blood flowed out, Tamayo wiped it off, looked at the wound on her finger that was healing slowly, and nodded.

"Like the man I met four hundred years ago, your wrist strength is strong enough to raise the temperature of the blade and slow down the healing of the demon's wounds. In addition, you have the perception that can detect us through Yushiro's blood demon art. I now believe that you have the ability to kill the upper ranks comparable to the first generation swordsman. In fact, you are the closest to him among all the people I have seen."

Tamayo put away her fingers and looked deeply at Qingshui.

"But it's not enough. I have personally witnessed how powerful Muzan and Yoriichi Tsugakuni were. Although you are very strong, there is still a gap between you and them. It's a big gap."

In her opinion, no matter how strong Qingshui is, he may be on the same level as those swordsmen who activated the three-piece suit during the first generation of swordsmen, not to mention that Qingshui has no markings.

They are certainly strong, but definitely not extremely strong.

Tsugakuni Iwaki also activated the three-piece set before becoming Kokushibo, but there is still a huge gap between him and Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

It is said that in the later period of the original time and space, Tanjiro possessed the three-piece set, mastered the complete Sun Breathing, and obtained the Yoriichi experience card, but without the assistance of other pillars, it would be difficult for him to withstand Muzan and delay him until dawn.

At that time, Muzan had been greatly weakened by the poison of Shashiyo and Shinobu Kocho. It can be seen that Muzan in full state was stronger than Tanjiro at that time.

But even when Muzan was in his prime, Yoriichi still almost killed him instantly. He beheaded Muzan with a single sword, scaring him so much that he split into more than 1,800 pieces. Then, in an instant, he cut the more than 1,800 pieces into only more than 300 pieces. Hundreds of years later, these wounds were still on Muzan's body, assisting Tanjiro.

"This is not all of me, and I am not all of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Qingshui said to Zhu Shidao.

“There are two more people in the Demon Slayer Corps who can swing the red sword directly like me. They and some of the pillars have also mastered the perception method I just used. There are also two swordsmen who inherited the breathing method of Yoriichi Tsugakuko.

In addition, I invented a method that allows ordinary swordsmen to transform the Nichirin Sword into a red sword, and created an electric lamp that can emit light close to sunlight and make it into a weapon.

Is this enough? "
