Infinite: The Main God Space Starting from Naruto

Chapter 235 Explosion

Meanwhile, deep within the underground palace.

"Is this where Dio is hiding?" Tanjiro took a deep breath, his nose twitching rapidly.

As they went deeper, the stench grew stronger.

In the spacious underground palace, a figure sat lazily on a high platform, and Dio raised his wine glass.

"You've finally arrived."

Dior took a sip of red wine. "It must be very lively outside, but unfortunately, you won't see the most exciting part."

Tanjiro looked up and saw that the ceiling and the surrounding walls were covered with countless corpses, hanging upside down like bats.

Their eyes glowed with an eerie red light, yet they remained motionless.

Shinazugawa Sanemi roared, "Enough with the nonsense!" He stomped his feet, and the ground cracked instantly.

"Wind Breathing - First Form - Dust Whirlwind - Slash!"

He moved like a cannonball, the blade carrying a sharp wind pressure, aiming straight for Dio's throat.

Dior didn't even raise his eyes. With a gentle wave of his right hand, the wine in the glass suddenly transformed into a blood-red streak, lashing out at Shinazugawa Sanemi like a whip.

The red wine exploded instantly. A cloud of blood filled the air, obscuring his vision.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's vision went completely red, and he lost his sight of Dio. Just then, a chill suddenly swept in from his side. He instinctively raised his sword to parry.

"clang!"

Sparks flew amidst the clang of metal clashing. The immense force transmitted through the blade, making his hands go numb. Shinazugawa Sanemi slid back seven or eight steps, leaving two deep furrows in the ground before barely managing to regain his footing.

"This power!" Shinazugawa Sanemi's arms trembled, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

"Too slow."

A cold voice rang in his ears, and Shinazugawa Sanemi's pupils contracted. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Dio had somehow slipped to his right.

"What?!" Shinazugawa Sanemi's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Too slow." A cold voice came from the side. Dio had already closed in without anyone noticing, and his right fist, carrying a terrifying aura, slammed into Shinazugawa Sanemi's abdomen.

The wind howled as Shinazugawa Sanemi tried to retreat, but it was too late.

"Bang!"

The fist struck him squarely in the abdomen.

Sanemi Shinazugawa felt an unimaginable force coming from his abdomen, and he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a stone pillar more than ten meters away.

"Cough!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the stone pillar.

"How is this possible?" Shinazugawa Sanemi knelt on one knee, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth. Just one punch had inflicted such a severe injury on him.

How could the opponent's strength have increased so terrifyingly?

Dio's nose twitched slightly, and the blood of Shinazugawa Sanemi emitted a peculiar fragrance, causing his pupils to shrink slightly.

"interesting"

Just then, a figure appeared silently to Dio's side.

Obanai Iguro's body was twisted in a bizarre way, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole.

"Serpent's Breath, Second Form: Narrow-Headed Venomous Fang!"

The blade of the Nichirin Blade sliced ​​through the air, aiming straight for Dio's carotid artery.

Dio's right hand shot out with lightning speed, his five fingers gripping the blade. "Interesting swordsmanship," he said with a slight smile, "but too slow."

Just then, a scorching heat swept over them from the front. Tanjiro had already rushed forward, the flame-like markings on his forehead clearly visible.

"Iguro-senpai!"

Tanjiro shouted and swiftly reached out with his left hand. Obanai Iguro immediately understood, twisting his body at an incredible angle in mid-air and accurately grabbing Tanjiro's arm with his right hand.

"call!"

Tanjiro stomped his feet on the ground, using the force of the spin to fling Obanai Iguro to the other side.

Ihei Xiaoban adjusted her posture in mid-air, pushed off the wall with both feet, and launched herself out again.

At that moment, Tanjiro had also arrived close. The two of them, one above and one below, formed a perfect pincer attack.

"Breathing of the Sun, Form of Seven, Radiant Sunburst!"

"The breath of a serpent, the form of five, a long, winding serpent!"

Two flashes of sword light, one above the other, blocked all escape routes.

Just as the blade was about to strike, Dio's arms suddenly exploded, and pale bone blades sprang out from his arms.

"Clang! Clang!"

The bone blade precisely parried the two Nichirin swords. Sparks flew amidst the violent collision.

"Is that all?" Dio's lips curled into a slight smile.

The veins on his arms suddenly bulged, shooting out like living things. The thick veins split in the air, forming countless tiny branches that swept towards the two men.

"Oh no!"

Obanai Iguro tried to twist her body to break free, but the force of her blood vessels tightened more and more, and her blood vessels suddenly became hot, making a sizzling sound.

However, at this critical moment, Tanjiro's pupils suddenly contracted.

The colors of the world gradually faded in his eyes, replaced by an unprecedented sense of clarity.

The flow of time seemed to be infinitely extended; he could clearly see the trajectory of the blood vessels' peristalsis and even predict where they would soon intertwine.

"A transparent world."

Tanjiro stomped his foot hard, using the recoil to lean backward. A blood vessel grazed past his face, sending a chill down his spine.

"Breath of the Sun, Form of Samadhi, Radiant Sun Rainbow Mirror!"

Tanjiro gripped his sword with both hands, spun around, and the sword light precisely severed the blood vessels wrapped around Obanai Iguro in mid-air.

Before the blood vessels could recede, Tanjiro stomped his foot and instantly appeared in front of Dio, his blade aimed straight for Dio's throat.

"That speed!"

Even Dio's pupils constricted. He hastily raised his right palm to block, but it was too late; Tanjiro's blade struck his palm precisely.

"puff!"

Blood splattered as Dio's right palm was cleanly sliced ​​in half.

He tapped his feet three times in quick succession, using the momentum to retreat rapidly.

"Wind Breathing, Third Form, Clear Breeze and Cherry Blossoms!"

A loud shout came from the side. Sanemi Shinazugawa had somehow already circled around to Dio's left.

He gripped the knife with both hands, his muscles tense, and his inner energy was concentrated to its peak at this moment.

The Nichirin Blade traced a silver arc through the air, slashing down with fierce wind pressure. The wind pressure tore through the air, producing a piercing whistling sound.

Dio suddenly took a step back, stretched his arms forward, and his wrists suddenly rotated at high speed.

"Buzz!"

Two completely different air currents collided violently in mid-air. Shinazugawa Sanemi's wind pressure was instantly torn apart, turning into countless tiny air currents that spread in all directions.

"What?!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa's attack was neutralized the moment it hit the air barrier, and he was sent flying backward by the recoil.

He adjusted his body in mid-air, his feet sliding two deep gullies into the ground before he could barely stand.

Just then, Dio's figure suddenly became blurry, as if he had merged into the air.

"Disappeared?!"

Tanjiro's pupils contracted. Even in his Transparent World state, he could only catch some faint afterimages.

"Bang!"

Obanai Iguro was suddenly struck hard in the chest, and her whole body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall.

Before Tanjiro could react, a tremendous force slammed into his abdomen.

"Cough!" Tanjiro spat out a mouthful of blood, his body bending uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain shot through the back of his neck, and he was slammed into the ground, where the floor shattered instantly, sending dust flying.

"Get out here!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa roared and slashed at the spot where Dio had last appeared. The blade sliced ​​through the air, but only struck nothingness.

The next instant, a sharp pain shot through his back, and he was kicked flying.

"Bang!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa crashed heavily to the ground, and before he could even get up, a hand had already gripped his neck. Dio's five fingers were like steel clamps, lifting him up completely.

"puff!"

Dio's fingers suddenly sharpened, piercing directly into Shinazugawa Sanemi's neck. Warm blood flowed down his fingers, and a fanatical glint flashed in Dio's eyes.

"This blood... what a wonderful taste!" Dio exclaimed, a look of ecstasy on his face.

Sanemi Shinazugawa desperately tried to pry Dio's wrist off with both hands, but the hand remained unmoved. His face gradually turned pale, and his vision began to darken.

"Let him go!"

Obanai Iguro and Tanjiro roared simultaneously. In an instant, blue, snake-scale-like markings appeared on Obanai Iguro's forehead, and his entire aura suddenly changed.

Please... add to your favorites (69 Bookstore!)

At this time, markings also appeared on Obanai Iguro's forehead.

His figure vanished from his spot, appearing behind Dio as if by teleportation. A strange blue light emanated from the surface of his Nichirin Blade, its blade pointing directly at Dio's back.

"The Breath of the Serpent, the Form of Unbridled Power, Twin Necked Serpents!"

Obanai Iguro's figure twisted in the air, coiling towards Dio like a venomous snake. The Nichirin Blade drew a strange arc in the air, blocking Dio's escape route.

At the same time, Tanjiro rushed forward: "Sun Breathing, Land Form, Flame Dance!"

The flames wrapped around the blade suddenly intensified, drawing crimson streaks in the air.

"That's more like it!" Dio laughed, "but it's not enough!"

Dio lightly touched the ground with both feet, and his upper body suddenly spun at high speed. His arms transformed into countless afterimages in that instant, bone blades and blood vessels intertwining to form an impenetrable net.

"boom!"

The air was torn apart by the high-speed rotation, emitting a piercing whistling sound. A powerful airflow spread outward from Dio, forming a small tornado.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three muffled impacts rang out almost simultaneously. The tornado formed by the airflow suddenly contracted, and the immense force sent all three swordsmen flying.

They traced three arcs in the air before crashing heavily into the surrounding walls. The walls collapsed instantly, sending rubble and debris raining down.

Get up!

Sanemi Shinazugawa gritted his teeth and crawled up from the pile of rubble, blood streaming down his forehead. He braced himself with his hands on the ground, his knees trembling slightly, but his eyes remained fierce.

Just then, the countless undead creatures on the ceiling suddenly erupted in a frenzy. They opened their blood-red mouths, letting out piercing roars, and swarmed outwards like bats.

"What?!" Tanjiro looked up, his pupils shrinking sharply.

Dior smiled slightly. "It seems the guests have arrived."

"boom!"

A massive, crescent-shaped sword aura suddenly swept across the doorway. Wherever the sword aura passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The savage corpse that pounced down was instantly sliced ​​in two, its limbs flying through the air. Amidst the billowing blood mist, a tall figure slowly walked towards them.

"This aura is..." Obanai Iguro's pupils contracted.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Kokushibo's figure gradually became clear. He was nearly two meters tall, with six eyes flashing an eerie golden light, and countless eyeballs slowly opening on the long sword in his hand.

"Upper Moon One..." Tanjiro's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart almost stopped beating.

The sheer oppressive aura emanating from the other person made it difficult for him to breathe.

"What the hell are you doing here, you bastard?!" Shinazugawa Sanemi staggered to his feet. "Where are the people outside?! How are they?!"

Kokushibo didn't even glance at him.

"The breath of the wind, the form of five, the autumn wind falling on the mountains!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa gripped his swords with both hands and stomped his foot. The ground exploded, sending shards of rock flying, and he charged towards Kokushibo like a cannonball.

The instant the metal clashed, Shinazugawa felt an unparalleled force surge through the blade. His hand instantly split open, and he was sent flying backward.

With a slight lift of his right hand, Kokushibo drew a shallow arc with his Hollow Crying God Blade.

"clang!"

The instant the metal clashed, Shinazugawa felt an unparalleled force surge through the blade. His hand instantly split open, and he was sent flying backward.

"Bang!"

Shinazugawa slammed heavily against the wall, a deep gash in his chest bleeding.

"You dare challenge Lord Muzan?" Kokushibo's voice was deep and cold as he gently stroked the blade of the Hollow Crying God Blade. "This ends here."

"Oh?" Dio raised an eyebrow. "Then let's give it a try."

Before he finished speaking, Dior had already disappeared from the spot.

Kokushibo's six eyes narrowed simultaneously, the eyeballs on the blade spinning wildly: "Land Form - Eternal Night Lonely Moon - Mugen!"

He gripped the sword with both hands, the blade tracing a perfect arc in the air. Countless crescent-shaped sword energies erupted instantly, covering half of the entire space.

"not good!"

Tanjiro gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly with both hands, retreating with three quick footsteps. Obanai Iguro twisted his body, dodging like a venomous snake. Shinazugawa barely managed to roll over and parry with his sword.

"clang!"

The bone blade that sprang from Dio's arm blocked the densest barrage of sword energy head-on. Sparks flew amidst the clang of metal, but it also revealed his figure.

Kokushibo's six eyes lit up simultaneously, and he became a blur. His speed was so fast that the air was torn apart with a sharp whistling sound.

"Second Form: Pearl and Moon Dance!"

The Void Crying God Blade traced a perfect arc in the air. All the eyes on the blade opened, releasing an eerie light. Sword energy poured down like moonlight.

"Bang!"

Dio's bone blade was severed in half. Just as he was about to retreat, Kokushibo's second strike came.

"Clang clang clang!"

Amidst the dense clanging of metal, Dior was forced to retreat repeatedly.

His bone blades were constantly being severed and regenerated, but Kokushibo's attacks grew increasingly fierce. Each strike was faster and heavier than the last.

"it's over."

A cold glint flashed in Kokushibo's eyes, and his longsword suddenly accelerated. The blade almost transformed into a streak of silver light, piercing directly through Dio's chest.

"You're right." Dio looked down at the blade in his chest, then suddenly gave a strange smile. "It's truly over."

Kokushibo's six eyes contracted simultaneously, a sense of foreboding washing over him. He tried to pull back his longsword, but it was too late.

"Vaporization freezing method!"

A chilling aura suddenly burst forth from the wound on Dior's chest.

In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of ice crystals spread outward from the wound, instantly covering Kokushibo's longsword.

Just then, Tanjiro's pupils suddenly contracted. His nose twitched rapidly as a pungent odor filled his nostrils.

"This smells like gunpowder?!"

Previously, the stench of rotting corpses masked this smell. Now, with the movement of the air, the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger.

"not good!"

Tanjiro's expression changed drastically.

He grabbed Obanai Iguro's arm with his left hand and Shinazugawa's collar with his right, unleashing his last bit of strength as he sprinted toward the exit.

"boom!!!"

A massive explosion reverberated throughout the underground palace. The shockwave sent the three flying, and scorching flames instantly engulfed the entire space. The stone walls of the underground palace crumbled inch by inch under the terrifying impact.

"Bang!"

Shinazugawa braced himself with his hands, flipped himself up, and almost instinctively lunged at Tanjiro, shielding him with his body.
