Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

The sneer of the nobles abruptly ceased.

Looking incredulously at Lin Ye, whose neck he was gripping, he couldn't understand how this boy, who was on the verge of death, could suddenly unleash such terrifying energy.

As the nobleman looked up, he met Lin Ye's icy gaze.

The nobleman trembled involuntarily, feeling that the gaze was too fierce even for a demon like himself, as if he had taken the other party's most precious possession.

There is no time to lose, this boy must die!

Just as the nobleman was about to make an emergency move and crush Lin Ye's neck.

A sharp, cold clang suddenly rang out from the void, and a dazzling, icy light slashed through the air, instantly severing the hand that was gripping Lin Ye's neck, along with the entire arm.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Having lost an arm, the nobleman painfully covered the severed wound with his other hand. Countless iron-black granulation tissues were writhing inside the wound, a gruesome sight.

His screams were like the hysterical howls of a demon in the cold, desolate night, especially eerie on such a stormy night with dark clouds hanging low.

"My God! What the hell is that howling?!"

Some tourists who had originally planned to stay and admire the cherry blossoms were terrified on the spot.

The howling of the evil spirits completely extinguished any interest they had in appreciating the cherry blossoms. They were so frightened that their souls almost flew out of their bodies. They immediately turned and ran away as fast as they could, not even daring to look back to pick up their dropped wallets and phones.

Not only here, but many tourists lingering in Chidorigafuchi heard this terrifying scream, and their faces turned pale with fright as they ran away immediately.

Like a chain reaction, countless tourists turned into a torrent of fear and rushed out of Chidorigafuchi.

Amidst the cherry blossoms and snow, Lin Ye held the Nichirin Blade in his hand, his gaze coldly fixed on the courtiers who were screaming in agony.

The punishment for this evil spirit was only the beginning.

Chapter 55 Thunder Breathing - First Form: Lightning Flash [Second Update]

Character Card: Zenitsu Agatsuma

Quality: Four stars

Style: Thunder Breathing

Weapon: Nichirin Blade

【Skill】

Thunder Breathing - First Form: Concentrate all your power into one leg, then unleash a devastating burst, tearing through the air with a thunderous roar, rapidly closing the distance to your opponent for a swift, drawn-sword slash. (Note: It's even better when combined with Heavenly Dragon Flash!)

Thunder Breathing - First Form: Thunder Flash - Six-Hit Combo: An advanced and enhanced version of Thunder Flash, allowing for multiple bursts of power to change the direction of the dash. This move compensates for Thunder Flash's weakness once its trajectory is predicted by the opponent. (Note: Repeatedly jumping up, down, down, left, right, left, right—if you're fast enough, no one can stop you.)

Thunder Breathing - First Form: Thunderclap Flash - Eight-Strike Combo: This move is an advanced enhancement of the Thunderclap Flash - Six-Strike Combo, unleashing a torrent of thunder. (Note: Thunder God's assistance! May you advance with unstoppable momentum!)

Thunder Breathing - First Form: Lightning Flash - Divine Speed: This technique is the ultimate form of Lightning Flash, the fastest flash, greatly enhancing speed and power. However, it consumes a huge amount of energy, especially putting a heavy burden on the feet, and can only be used twice consecutively in a short period. (Note: Singing, dancing, and rapping—the passion is yours to command!)

Thunder Breathing - 7th Form: Fire Thunder God: This is Zenitsu Agatsuma's signature sword technique. When unleashed, it unleashes a lightning-fast, imperceptible rushing slash, its trajectory like a dancing thunder dragon, decimating everything in its path like fallen leaves. (Note: One strike can bankrupt you, so use it sparingly.)

……

On the energy card, Zenitsu Agatsuma takes a step forward, his body lowered, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword. On the blade, which he pushes open, blazing white lightning shoots out like mad snakes. Zenitsu is surrounded by this lightning, looking like a god or a demon, extremely domineering.

Without hesitation, Lin Ye smashed Zenitsu Agatsuma's energy card with a loud shout.

In an instant, his injuries healed at an incredible speed, as if he had undergone a complete reorganization, a transformation even more violent than the fusion combat type Himura Kenshin.

pain!It hurts so much!

He was reborn, yet heartbroken; deep down, Lin Ye almost wanted to scream.

If this pain can grant him greater power, then let the pain come even more fiercely.

Countless cells cheered, transforming layer by layer like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, sprouting new leaves and welcoming a spring full of hope.

At the same time, a flood of memories from Zenitsu Agatsuma also came rushing back.

He had various killing techniques from the First Form of Thunder Breathing, as well as memories of the other party slaying demons. Witnessing this Demon Slayer Corps member grow from being timid and hesitant in the early stages to becoming decisive and ruthless in the later stages was also a mental and spiritual trial and baptism for Lin Ye.

Lin Ye's power and willpower surged through these layers of transformation, and his own perception also extended violently at this moment, permeating the surrounding space and time like a spider web.

At that moment, he heard many voices.

The sound of the breeze blowing, the sound of cherry blossoms fluttering, the sound of cherry blossom snow gently falling to the ground—these extremely subtle sounds, even inaudible to normal people, became so clear to Lin Ye's ears, far clearer than what he could see with his naked eye.

That's a hearing that's dozens, even hundreds of times more acute than Kenshin's.

In the anime Demon Slayer, Zenitsu Agatsuma possesses extraordinary hearing, known as the ultimate in perfect pitch. He can even clearly hear the sounds of breathing, heartbeat, and the flow of blood within a person's body. This ability is practically a different version of the Word Spirit Kamaitachi.

Of course, this kind of hearing only has a significant effect relative to people who are close by. However, the Kamaitachi can issue commands to the wind in the domain by spreading and releasing it. The wind will then send all the sounds within the range to the releaser, thus allowing them to achieve an excellent listening effect.

However, Zenitsu Agatsuma possesses a hearing ability that even Kamaitachi cannot match.

That is, if you listen carefully, you can even see into people's inner thoughts and distinguish between humans and ghosts. This ability is comparable to mind reading, but it is very mentally taxing.

The Nichirin Blade in his hand gleamed with a cold golden light. This was a sword used by the Demon Slayer Corps, forged entirely from crimson sand iron that had absorbed sunlight, and it could change color according to its master.

Zenitsu's Nichirin Blade has a white scabbard, hilt, and jaw, while the blade is golden yellow with lightning patterns, which is also proof that he is a successor of the Breath of Thunder.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!! How dare you, a lowly ant, hurt me! You deserve to die!!!"

The nobles roared in fury.

The roar contained pain and intense resentment.

He hadn't expected Lin Ye to suddenly unleash such power. That sudden burst of power, combined with his carelessness, resulted in the loss of one of his arms.

With his golden eyes gleaming fiercely as he stared at Lin Ye, Gong Qingren launched the first violent attack.

He was incredibly fast, almost becoming a blur, his iron-gray claws like blades, aiming to pierce Lin Ye's heart.

The nobleman swore that if he could capture the boy's heart, he would make him experience the most exquisite pain in the world.

Faced with the fierce attack of the nobles, Lin Ye neither dodged nor avoided, but lowered his body at this moment, which at first glance looked like the preparatory stance of the Heavenly Dragon Flash.

His expression was solemn, and his aura became extremely cold and desolate, yet he was like a peerless assassin, poised to unleash his most terrifying attack.

Lin Ye remained silent, his body lowered, his right hand gripping the hilt of the knife, while his left thumb forcefully pushed open the guard.

Chi Chi!

In an instant, blazing white lightning bolts shot out from the blade like mad snakes, dazzling the eyes.

At that moment, Lin Ye suddenly opened his eyes, as if a thunderclap had exploded. Cherry blossoms swayed beneath his feet, and his figure burst forth like lightning, shooting out in an instant.

Thunder Breathing - First Form: Thunderclap Flash! Activated!

The already delicate cherry blossom snow was instantly pulverized into countless smaller particles by this violent slash. These particles coalesced into a long, crimson river, and above the river, a golden crescent moon rose dramatically.

"My God!"

The tourists who had just emerged from Chidorigafuchi all witnessed this scene and were utterly shocked.

Many people quickly took out their phones to capture this shocking scene, but the next moment, a shrill, ghostly scream echoed from the depths of Chidori Abyss once again.

This time, the screams were even more piercing, like a hysterical breakdown.

Accompanied by bursts of blazing white lightning and agonizing screams like demons, the originally beautiful Chidorigafuchi was transformed into a grim hell. These chilling and shrill cries were more like demons in the deepest part of hell receiving extremely cruel punishments.

The tourists turned pale with fright, and felt their hands and feet go cold.

Chapter 56 Broken! Thunder Breathing - First Form: Thunderclap Flash - Eight Consecutive Moves! [Third Update]

The pink cherry blossoms scattered on the ground were stained with iron-black blood. The blood, like strong acid, violently corroded the cherry blossoms and the ground, emitting a putrid stench.

Amidst the polluted cherry blossoms, half a head drifted down, landing heavily, its golden pupils displaying a stunned and bewildered expression.

It was completely unexpected; no one in the court could have imagined that Lin Ye could unleash such a terrifyingly fast slash even in the face of death.

He was extremely vigilant before the attack, but he still fell victim to it. Now, after this blow, half of his head has been sliced ​​off.

The nobles and officials let out a mournful howl.

He covered his face with his hands, and black, foul blood kept flowing down, but because his actions were so crazy, the foul blood was splattered everywhere.

It was as if a demon had descended upon the world, shedding its human skin at this moment to reveal an extremely grotesque corpse.

The head was cleaved in half by the Nichirin Blade, and in the exposed wound, countless tentacle-like fleshy buds wriggled wildly, looking like the nest of some kind of worm that had been freed from its cage and was about to break free.

Just like when the arms of the nobles were severed before, this time even the head of the person was filled with these wriggling fleshy buds, as if the entire body was filled with them.

Lin Ye suddenly thought of the title "Shadow Warrior," which implies a puppet on strings. The writhing fleshy buds are like the countless threads inside a puppet's body. As long as these threads are controlled, one can control everything about the Shadow Warrior, including their thoughts.

If those tourists are terrified by the horrific screams, seeing the real person in person at that moment would be a lifelong trauma, and they would spend their entire lives trying to heal from this nightmarish scene.

It might even be incurable, driving someone to the brink of insanity. They'll be constantly haunted by the image of this evil spirit while walking, working, eating, and sleeping, until their mental state completely collapses.

However, Lin Ye's eyes were unusually cold as he faced this scene.

Kenshin is just a swordsman, and his enemies are all mortals. Zenitsu, on the other hand, is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. He has fought countless demons throughout his life and has even killed many powerful demons with the power of Thunder Breathing.

After merging with everything about Zenitsu Agatsuma, Lin Ye's own spirit and will were also tempered and purified, so he had no fear of the ferocious demon, the Gongqingren.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!"

The screams of the nobles were extremely agonizing, like someone having their fingers cut off one after another, doubling the pain!

The remaining half of the nobleman's face was extremely ferocious and twisted, with one pupil as bright and terrifying as lava, filled with hysterical and violent killing intent.

He now hates Lin Ye to the core, and hates this boy whom he considers as lowly as a dog.

His thoughts became extremely distorted, as if his mental state was in chaos due to the loss of half his brain.

Lin Ye knew that this guy's vitality was extremely abnormal. He had been impaled with Spider Cutter and Child Cutter by a giant tortoise and was still able to run around like the wind. Therefore, he did not let his guard down and kept a close eye on the other party's every move.

woohoo-

A fierce wind swept in, making the cherry blossoms even more intense. As far as the eye could see, the sky was filled with crimson light, and the figure of the nobleman suddenly disappeared into the depths of the light, as if he had vanished.

But Lin Ye knew that the guy was still nearby, because he could hear the sound of the other person grinding his teeth and sucking blood in the cherry blossom snow.

Lin Ye closed his eyes again.

After merging with Zenitsu Agatsuma, his hearing also reached the level of the Word Spirit Kamaitachi within a small range, so at this time, hearing was clearer than seeing.

In the desolate world, lines filled the scene, but they were dozens of times clearer than before, like the difference between 480p and Blu-ray quality. This was also the difference between Kenshin Himura and Zenitsu Agatsuma.
