Chapter 148 Whose Dream (End)

If I were to describe the scene Fang Yi was seeing now, it would be a somewhat confusing tongue twister.

"The Edge God is sitting next to Edge."

This somewhat clumsy sentence, like a meaningless sentence compiled by a child who has just learned to speak using his or her few vocabulary, leaves people with a feeling of confusion.

But the Yoriichi Tsugakuni in front of him was indeed sitting on the side, or rather, on the elevated corridor under the eaves of this traditional Japanese house.

The indoor and outdoor spaces are divided by sliding doors, and then an elevated corridor is built under the eaves with anti-corrosion and waterproof wooden boards. This part of the building that connects the indoor and outdoor spaces is actually the veranda or outer corridor.

At this moment, the man who could be called a god, Yuichiro Tsugikuni, was sitting there, coaxing a baby in a cradle who was gradually calming down and falling into a sound sleep.

Like a pomegranate that is so ripe that it is grinning, her hair is deep red and sugary, the color of pomegranate seeds, and it is tied into a high ponytail that reaches half of her chest, but looks neat and simple. She also has red sun earrings with eleven radiating rays hanging from her ears.

Although Fang Yi was only shown his back, there was no doubt that he was the legendary swordsman, the originator of all breathing techniques, the man who was born with [marks] and possessed [the ability to see the world through] .

Fang Yi's words "Fate God, start." were no joke.

This swordsman can indeed be called a god, because as long as this swordsman is alive, Muzan Kibutsuji will hide and never come out.

It can be said that most of the cowardice of the scumbag boss was caused by being frightened by this Ji Guoyuan.

After becoming a ghost, this ghost king was still very arrogant for a period of time.

Although Muzan Kibutsuji is dedicated to finding the [Blue Higanbana], the herb that turned him into a demon but he could not find it no matter how hard he tried, and trying to turn himself into a demon that is not afraid of sunlight, this demon king may not have the idea of ​​becoming the Kami of the new world.

It eats people it encounters, and turns any vicious or interesting person into a ghost. It truly has the demeanor of a self-absorbed, law-abiding protagonist in the urban literature genre, and then it encounters Yuichiro Tsugikuni.

To briefly describe the battle situation, Muzan Kibutsuji, who was forced to bring the Ghost Doctor Tamayo with him, thought that Yoriichi Tsugakuni was very weak and he could kill the opponent in seconds, and then Muzan Kibutsuji was killed in seconds.

Sensing a crisis, it split its body into several pieces and tried to act separately, but was killed by 1500 swords swung by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin, leaving only pieces of flesh that were big enough to be a human head and escaped.

At this point, the Ghost King followed the turtle tactics of the immortal protagonist, directly finding a place to hide and using his endless lifespan to outlast the opponent.

He treated this swordsman, whose fighting ability was unfathomable, with an attitude of "I have been honest, please let me go."

Even if Ji Guoyuan was so old and weak that he turned into an old man with wrinkles all over his face, a shriveled body and was about to die.

This Demon King still refused to show up and show off, and only released one of the Upper Moons, Kokushibo.

It is conceivable how much pressure this swordsman brought to our Lord Muzan Kibutsuji. In fact, Muzan Kibutsuji still has scars on his body left by Tsugakuni Yoriichi's [Red Sword].

Other people's [Red Blade] can't be maintained after a while, and a few stabs can't kill Muzan Kibutsuji. This person's [Red Blade] brings permanent dot damage to Muzan Kibutsuji, the kind of damage that jumps every second.

Our trashy boss is like a rheumatist who suffers from damp and rainy days every day and suffers from body aches due to the moisture. He is also like a gout patient who has abnormally high uric acid and has eaten seafood. He suffers from the scars caused by Tsugakugo Yuichiro's [Red Sword].

It was as if Tsugikuni Yoriichi was born with the mission of "killing Muzan Kibutsuji", and was the person sent by God to kill Muzan Kibutsuji.

Unfortunately, Muzan Kibutsuji managed to escape this disaster by using the turtle tactic.

After the death of this "God of Fate", Muzan Kibutsuji and one of the Upper Moons, Kokushibo, carried out a comprehensive extermination of the inheritors and recorders of "Breathing of the Sun".

Trying to destroy the skills left by this 'God of Fate' and put an end to the possibility of any swordsman of [Breath of the Sun] appearing again.

So when the protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, appeared in the demon's vision wearing the earring that marked the user of [Breathing of the Sun], Boss Xia obtained this information by reading the demon's memory, and immediately sent people to clean up Tanjiro Kamado.

However, the time in the dream now seems not very conducive for Fang Yi to acquire this skill.

If memory serves him correctly, this 'Fate God' was at the lowest point in his life, and it would be two years before this swordsman demonstrated and had Tanjiro Kamado's ancestor record the [Breathing of the Sun].

Having already used the long cooldown-limited ability of [Blood Vampire Art: Whisper of Forced Sleep and Hypnosis] to construct dreams, it seemed he wouldn't have a second chance before the final battle.

So what should I do? I remember Tanjiro Kamado's dream. People from the past cannot change dreams or interact with the people in the dream.

This dream is more like a memory in the blood, like a CD that has been recorded and pressed, which can only be played and cannot be changed.

Fang Yi couldn't help feeling depressed as he watched Yoriichi Tsugikuni finish his tea after talking with Tanjiro Kamado's ancestors.

"Perhaps I can only wait until I complete the quest [Searching for Purgatory Kyojuro] and get the information about [Breathing of the Sun] to deduce this skill that is extremely advantageous against demons?"

Fang Yi, who was in a daze, saw Yuichiro Tsugikoro turning his head to look at him.

The swordsman, whose face showed no emotion, expressed his doubts to Fang Yi.

"I have quit the Demon Slayer Corps and am no longer a member of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"He's just a good-for-nothing man who has accomplished nothing."

"Why would a good swordsman like you, instead of going out to slay demons, appear here and stare at me for so long?"

This dream, which should have had a fixed content like a movie, seemed to have undergone changes that Fang Yi had not expected.
-
The frustrated words, coupled with Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's delicate and charming facial features, the strangely beautiful [markers] on his forehead, and the red irises, gave people a sense of incomplete beauty.

Just like the Venus de Milo, despite being missing something, it is still full of a strange beauty.

Although the face of this 'Fate God' was very calm, the sadness in his words was too obvious.

As a "Demon Slayer" who was born out of necessity, he failed to kill Muzan Kibutsuji and even spared the demon doctor Tamayo who was imprisoned by Muzan Kibutsuji.

At the same time, his brother, Iwakatsu Tsugumi, was tempted by Muzan Kibutsuji and was afraid that people with the "marks" would not live beyond the age of 25, so he turned into one of the Upper Moons, Kokushibo, killed the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps and defected.

The last two charges made most of the Demon Slayer Corps at the time believe that he should commit suicide to atone for his crimes.

Of course, in Fang Yi's opinion, this behavior is no different from using public opinion to force the death of Hatake Kakashi's father, Hatake White Fang, in Naruto. It is as ridiculous and strange to kill one's own father and destroy one's own Great Wall.

Please, you are forcing a ridiculously powerful person who is the only one who can kill Muzan Kibutsuji to commit suicide.

Fortunately, the newly succeeded head of the Ubuyashiki family, who was only six years old, was relatively clear-headed and prevented such public opinion.

This "Fate God" quit the Demon Slayer Corps and fell into a low period in his life, feeling like a nihilist.

However, Fang Yi happened to have some experience in coming out of nihilism, so he decided to spend some time talking with Ji Guoyuan.

Tanjiro Kamado, who was stunned beside Fang Yi, wanted to say something to refute this point of view. He moved his mouth and roared, but no sound came out.

Obviously, he couldn't make any intervention in this dream. His ancestors and this 'edge god' couldn't see him, only Fang Yi. Fang Yi walked to the edge of the Japanese-style house, sat down in this house that he remembered from who knows how many years ago, and gave his own answer.

"I just came to see the sun, to find my own ray of light that can illuminate the long night."

"Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, I want to see your knife and your sword skills."
-
How should we describe Yuichiro Tsugikuni?

In the words of his brother, Iwakatsu Tsugakuin, who later became one of the Upper Moons, Kokushibo.

"He's like a unique sun."

"Anyone who gathers around you can only admire him and reach out their hands, but in the end they will only struggle and suffer, with no other choice."

One person's talent overflows, and the world's talent is one stone. After he comes into being, the world will owe him three buckets of talent.

After putting down the sleeping baby, Tsugikoku Yoshiichirō had no intention of taking out the knife. He looked at Fang Yi and gave a negative answer.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not the sun that illuminates all darkness."

"I was born so strong. I must have been given the mission to kill Muzan Kibutsuji."

"However, I failed in my only chance to make a move."

Tsugikuni Yoriichi's tone was calm, but obviously filled with confusion and frustration, and the powerful swordsman continued to speak sad words.

"Because of my failure, more people will die because of Muzan Kibutsuji's survival."

"Every time I think about this, I feel really uneasy."

"You probably think I'm someone very special, but I failed to protect anything important."

"I haven't completed the mission God has given me, and my life is generally worthless."

What answered him was Fang Yi's unsheathed sword and his subsequent words.

"Your answer is too arrogant, Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi. No one is born with a mission."

“No child is expected to become a warrior or a businessman right after birth. The meaning of life is something that one must find and give to oneself.”

"Because I have special talents with swords and breathing techniques, I feel that it is absolutely wrong to kill Muzan Kibutsuji myself."

Looking at Fang Yi who drew his sword and tried to arouse his fighting spirit, Jigoku Yuichi replied calmly.

"It's no use saying all this. Muzan Kibutsuji won't show up until I die."

"I've missed this opportunity forever."

Fang Yi's hand holding the knife did not move at all, and he also gave his own response.

"It doesn't matter. I will seize this opportunity and kill Muzan Kibutsuji. I will send him to a place more terrifying than hell."

"I am from four hundred years in the future. In a few days, I will face Muzan Kibutsuji. The odds of winning are slim, and I am searching for a way to kill him."

"Please show me your sword skills, Mr. Tsugukuni Yoshiichi. I need you, my 'sun', to find my own light."

Tsugikoku Yuichiro was finally attracted by Fang Yi's words. Perhaps Fang Yi had a lot of achievements and relics that increased his friendliness with order-type people, making it easier for him to get help from order-type people.

Perhaps it was the effect of Fang Yi's promise that made this 'God of Fate' finally draw his sword.

He said to Fang Yi, "It seems you don't have much time this time. I'm afraid I can only demonstrate my twelve sword techniques in full once."

"My swordsmanship will be very fast for practical purposes. Can your eyes keep up with the speed of my sword swings?"

"There is no one in this era who can inherit my [Breath of the Sun], let alone in this brief demonstration. You will need talents that surpass mine to learn my skills."

"are you ready?"

Fang Yi looked at his [Super Gravity] and [Diligent Learning] talents, as well as the points on the panel, and smiled.

"Of course, I am an undoubted genius."

"I've told everyone that I'm a [Demon Slayer], and I'll keep that promise."

"They say that ordinary people can understand a lot more after listening to explanations hundreds of times and then watching a 'correct' demonstration once, but I only need to watch it once."

Although he said those cool words, Fang Yi was secretly laughing in his heart.

[My talent is one thing, but I can also use my talent to cheat and gain skills, and then add points through space.]

[Give me more time and I can deduce and practice this skill myself. In fact, my deduction progress is not bad now.]

But now wouldn't it be faster to just use the talent, look at the ready-made ones, and then use the skill-related information to make up the skill discount?
In a life-or-death battle, I can increase my chances of winning by just spending a few points. Why should I make things difficult for myself?
I am a genius, but I don't mind cheating and will add some points. I will never let myself down.
-
After hearing Fang Yi's words, although this 'Fate God' somewhat disagreed with Fang Yi's point of view, he still demonstrated his [Sun Breathing] sword skills like a dance.

The sword technique he created was so gorgeous that every posture was breathtaking. Watching this sword technique was like watching a grand and colorful fireworks show.

At the same time, his sword skills are concise and capable, full of strange beauty.

Even without memorizing or learning this sword technique, one can still understand it through the subtle differences in the angle of Jiguo Yuan's wrist, the movements of his feet, and the intervals between his breathing when he swings the sword.

Fang Yi was able to draw inferences from his own experience, noticing unnecessary movements when swinging his sword, and improving his swordsmanship.

As you acquire the trait [Demon Slayer], [Tsugukuni Yoriichi] teaches you the skill [Breathing of the Sun]. Because the discount on the skill-related information is maximized, your [Mastery of Swordsmanship] is improved with three spatial prompt sounds.

Fang Yi looked at Yuichiro Tsugikuni, who had not yet finished practicing the twelve sword techniques, and was ready to let the other party guide his sword skills and improve the level of [Breathing of the Sun].

So he just said, "I know how to do it, no need to demonstrate again."

This 'Fate God' paused his demonstration, a question mark on his face, "I haven't even finished demonstrating it yet, and you already know it?"

Fang Yi nodded, "Yes, let's move on to the next step."
