Chapter 99: Sword Forging (I)

Before stepping into the Purgatory family, Fang Yi was thinking about his next plan.

He wanted this former Flame Pillar to be his swordsmanship instructor, and transform his high-level [Mastery-level Swordsmanship] skills into skills that could be used in actual combat.

Judging from the speed at which news spreads, optimistically speaking, I only have two days left to correct my swordsmanship.

The information about the former Flame Pillar was most likely obtained by the other party through the "spies" in Asakusa and then sold. Once the reincarnation who bought the information failed, it was also rumored.

Chen Cheng was able to quickly obtain information about his situation in the Purgatory family through channels that he thought only he knew.

Afterwards, Chen Cheng should bring the reincarnations and at least one upper-rank monk to kill this legendary swordsman.

Or they might ambush him on the road, but he is not afraid of this as he has [Fighting Spirit Perception] and [Blood Demon Art: Eye Hidden].

And in these two days, he not only needs to practice swordsmanship from Rengoku Makijuro, but also try to learn the [Breath of Flame] skill from him.

The sword skills of the [Water Breathing] school are still more defensive. He needs some better offensive sword skills to better play the [personality] of a genius swordsman and kill a few more reincarnations for Chen Cheng to see.

In addition, among the breathing techniques, [Breathing of the Sun] is the source of all breathing techniques, and the five basic breathing techniques were derived later.

Fang Yi's [Diligent Learning] skill can deduce the effects of higher skills. He wants to try to deduce [Breathing of the Sun] by collecting [Breathing of Fire], one of the five basic breathing methods, and combining it with the [Breathing of Water] skill he has already mastered.

At the current stage, Fang Yi has not yet contacted Tanjiro Kamado because he has to give priority to dealing with Chen Cheng. In addition, the medicine that can turn ghosts into humans by the ghost doctor Tamayo has not yet been developed.

It is a bit difficult to "learn" [Breathing of the Sun] through the other party.

Moreover, at this point in time, the opponent's [Breath of the Sun] sword skill might not be at a high enough level to become the professor of [Supernatural Gravity].

Therefore, this kind of high-level swordsmanship can only be promoted through [diligent study and improvement]. There is no harm in trying anyway.

Finally, if you intend to attack Muzan Kibutsuji, you must first find a way to deal with his left and right guardians - Upper One and Upper Two.

Because of the human identity of this Upper Moon before he turned into a demon, using [Breathing of the Sun] to fight against Kokushibo, one of the strongest Upper Moons, will definitely be effective. It can effectively mobilize the opponent's emotions and find some opportunities to fight.

Therefore, Fang Yi hopes to meet Rengoku Makijuro, who is anxiously waiting for his missing son, as soon as possible, and it would be best if he can obtain the [Breath of Flame] skill tonight.

But obviously things didn't go so smoothly.
-
When Fang Yi walked into Rengoku's house, he did not see Rengoku Makijuro who was anxiously looking for his son, but instead met a drunk man sleeping soundly at the door.

The former Flame Pillar was not, as the kidnappers had expected, restless and upset over his son's disappearance. Instead, he was snoring at the doorstep, apparently unaware that his child had just passed through the gates of hell.

Rengoku Makijuro's tall, muscular figure huddled against the doorway, like all the other drunks on the street. He reeked of alcohol, muttering incoherent words, completely devoid of his former dignity.

He doesn't look like a swordsman at all, especially someone like the former Flame Pillar.

When Rengoku Chijuro saw his drunk father, he was extremely embarrassed. His body gave off a signal of uneasiness, and he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

He looked at Rengoku Makijuro lying on the ground, then looked at Fang Yi and Nakamori Yuto beside him. His face turned red instantly and he was a little at a loss.

It wasn't until Nakamori Yuto broke the silence and lent a hand together with Rengoku Chijuro to move the former Flame Pillar into his home.

To avoid the hell, Senjuro, as usual, took a cart and pushed his drunken father away, and dumped him on the ground.

So after working for a long time, Rengoku Chijuro took Fang Yi to the guest room, prepared to boil water for tea, and at the same time went to look for snacks to entertain the guests. The night was almost over.

The young man, frightened and having spent a long time finally settling his father down, was exhausted, yet he still managed to thank Nakamori Yuto and Fang Yi. "I'm so sorry, it's already this late, and this is all I can offer you in such a hurry."

Rengoku Chijuro handed over the teacup on the saucer, and at the same time brought out a plate of snacks and placed it gently in front of Fang Yi.

"I made some tea, please."

"I'm so sorry that I can only serve you this simple and monotonous snack."

"After the store opens tomorrow morning, I will go buy some better things. Mr. Fang Yi, if you need anything else, please feel free to ask. The Purgatory Family will never treat their savior unfairly!"

Looking at Rengoku Chijuro, whose eyelids were drooping and whose whole body was listless, he was trying hard to act like an adult.

Fang Yi just nodded silently and spoke.

"Nothing else is needed, just some paper and pen, I need to write a letter"

"We can discuss the rest tomorrow."

After Fang Yi's repeated persuasion, Rengoku Chijuro finally left the guest room to rest.
-
After confirming that the other party had gone far away, Nakamori Yuto spoke up and expressed his doubts.

"Master Fang Yi, it seems that the former Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro no longer has any ideas or abilities to teach others."

"Do you really want to let a drunkard like this teach you swordsmanship? Isn't it a waste of time?"

Nakamori Yuto seems to have a bad impression of Rengoku Makijuro and has doubts about his abilities.

In his opinion, instead of asking the somewhat abnormal former Flame Pillar to correct Fang Yi's swordsmanship, it would be better to go directly to his master, the former Water Pillar, Urokodaki Sakonji.

At the same time, the swordsman had a little selfishness in his heart.

He would rather Fang Yi become a swordsman of the [Water Breathing] style.

During the year that Urokodaki Sakonji trained Nakamori Yuto, his attitude towards the former Water Pillar went from suspicion and disapproval to trust and respect in the end.

In his opinion, a genius like Lord Fang Yi should receive systematic and rigorous training, which is exactly what his master Urokodaki Sakonji can provide.

And how could an emotionally unstable drunkard like Rengoku Makijuro improve Master Fang Yi's swordsmanship so quickly?

Fang Yi only replied with one sentence, which dispelled Nakamori Yuto's thoughts.

"This training won't be too long. It can be completed in two days at most. There's no need to worry."

"I'm writing this letter now and I need you to deliver it to Mr. Ubuyashiki through special channels. I need someone to come here."

"At the same time, I went through the Demon Slayer Corps base and used the identity of a 'pillar' to ask the blacksmith to forge a brand new Nichirin sword for me."

Fang Yi paused and added something that Nakamori Yuto didn't understand.

"'Sword Forging' is about to begin."
