I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

With a low shout, Yuanxiang unleashed a purple shockwave that clashed with the sword energy. An indescribable shrill whistling sound filled the air. Taking advantage of this moment, Yuanxiang stomped his foot, bracing against the remaining sword energy, and rushed to Kokushibo's front, unleashing a series of punches. The whistling wind from the punches, passing through the shattered armor, was exceptionally piercing, like the wailing of a vengeful ghost.

Meanwhile, Kokushibo kept spinning around himself, creating a huge vortex of blade wind around his body, trying to deflect Gengo who rushed towards him. However, just as the blade storm was generated, Gengo shouted loudly, his energy surging, and he forcefully punched it away, pulling Kokushibo back into his attack range.

But at that moment, the mournful cry of a Demon Slayer Corps swordsman rang out from the side. A demon with short pink hair and covered in dark blue tattoos rushed over and threw a punch at Genji. But Kokushibo's sword suddenly turned and slashed at his own companion. With a loud collision, the man and the two demons immediately separated.

044 One against two

"Akasa, this is my prey."

Kokushibo's six eyes glared angrily, his strange longsword aimed at the newly appeared Upper Moon Demon:

"Leave, or I'll kill you too, you rude wretch."

"Kuroshibo, you can't keep such a great opponent to yourself. Just watching his punches is exhilarating."

The pink-haired demon licked his lips, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Give it to me. Once I've had my fill, I'll leave naturally."

"Akazata!"

There's no need to argue.

Gengo interrupted Kokushibo, beckoning him with his index finger:

"Come on, so I won't miss out on the fun."

"it is good!"

Akaza shouted and stomped his right foot on the ground, unleashing a spell that created a twelve-pointed snowflake array beneath his feet. This spell allowed him to sense his opponent's fighting spirit like a compass, making his attacks and evasions as precise as if attracted by a magnet. The stronger the opponent's fighting spirit, the stronger the compass's reaction, and the higher the corresponding intensity and accuracy.

At the moment the spell was unleashed, Akaza stood frozen in place. The terrifying fighting spirit emanated from the black knight like the sun, occupying almost every part of his spell. Although his spell could still work, the pressure he had to bear instantly increased. After hesitating for a few moments, Akaza ultimately did not withdraw the spell and attacked Genji.

At this moment, Kokushibo and Akaza were racing each other, vying to take down Gengo. In front of them, they were launching rapid, overlapping slashes at the same spot, while behind them, they were unleashing a six-hit combo of punches into the air. The speed was so fast that it was difficult to see clearly, with only the deadly wind of their fists striking.

Gengo cleaved with his palm, seizing an opening in the crisscrossing sword energy and dismantling the attack in one fell swoop. He then used a spinning back kick to disperse the incoming wind pressure, and with the force of the recoil, he closed in on Kokushibo. The Upper Moon One swung his sword down, but Gengo met it head-on, gathering energy in both hands to catch the sharp blade. With a twist, he snapped the strange longsword in two.

Kokushibo did not stop, but swung it down even more forcefully. This was a demon blade forged from his own flesh and blood, which could regenerate whenever he wanted. Therefore, a new blade rapidly extended from the broken edge of the blade.

Before the blade could strike, Gengo's left arm vanished instantly, followed by a sickeningly loud cracking sound. Kokushibo shuddered violently and flew out like a cannonball. However, he quickly spun his blade, unleashing a torrent of sword energy that neutralized the impact. He descended from the sky like a hawk, but the massive dent in his chest still hampered his movement. Taking advantage of this moment, Gengo pressed forward again. But then, a powerful punch came flying from above, its force causing the ground to shatter like leaf patterns.

Akaza didn't miss the opportunity either. His continuous kicks, swirling with turbulent currents, followed by unpredictable trajectories like stray meteors, enveloped Gengo. Gengo, with his arms crossed over his chest, took both kicks, then swiftly grabbed Akaza's ankles and slammed him to the ground like a broken sack. He then threw Akaza towards Kokushibo to interrupt his swordsmanship.

Kokushibo remained expressionless, his blade trembling slightly as sword energy erupted. Akaza, who had been in mid-air, flew back to where he had come from. Gengo casually slapped Akaza's fist away, grabbed his head, slammed it against a nearby boulder, and delivered a heavy punch to the back of Akaza's head. Then, ignoring the now-frozen Akaza, he charged towards Kokushibo. Gengo instinctively wanted to unleash his ultimate attack, but just as his hand touched the attack gauge, he suddenly remembered his plan and had to change his tactics on the spot, pretending to charge up before throwing a swinging punch.

Kokushibo seized upon this slight opening, unleashing countless massive crescent-shaped blades that swept across everything in front of him. Simultaneously, within this storm, an almost invisible thin line flashed by, and an incredibly fast Iai Slash aimed straight for Gengo's head. Gengo pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and launched a fierce attack at an extremely high speed at the same spot, like a reef on the coast carving a path through the endless surging tide.

During this time, Akaza had regained control of his body. He took a deep breath and launched eight consecutive attacks from all directions at the same point, as if eight Upper Moon demons were attacking at the same time. Gengo dodged the first two attacks with a bridge move, and then kicked Akaza squarely in the head from below, sending him flying in a spinning motion.

Kokushibo then advanced again, unleashing two giant, swirling, crescent-shaped sword energies that blocked Genji's path. Then, one line, two lines, three lines... a barrage of slashes rained down on Genji. Genji countered each move, gathering energy in his arms to meet the attack. With a piercing sword cry, he tore the sword net apart. At the same time, Genji launched a six-hit combo at Kokushibo, the combined force of which forced the demon to dodge.

This is Akaza's boxing style. Has he learned it?

Seeing the clearing space cleared by the fist wind, Kokushibo was stunned for a moment, then his fighting spirit intensified, and he unleashed three consecutive slashes towards Gensou.

Akaza witnessed the scene just now. He roared and summoned the Luozhen Technique, launching hundreds of missiles in all directions from his own center in an instant. The missiles were fast and powerful. Driven by anger, he actually made a breakthrough in the battle. Under his guidance, 80% of the missiles that should have scattered were concentrated and aimed at Gensou. The momentum was overwhelming, and the ground rubble shook violently as a result.

Seeing this, Gensou shook his arms, flames surged, and as if taking something out of a bag, he crushed the missile. Furthermore, with a twist of his right hand, he actually gathered the residual force of the missile explosion back together, and combined it with his own energy to unleash a thunderous air pressure punch at Akaza.

Almost simultaneously, Akaza lost more than half of his body and collapsed. He wasn't dead yet. For the sake of the plan, Genji deliberately didn't add flames, allowing his body to regenerate. However, Akaza's eyes were filled with gloom. He had spent half his life training for power, but now, in the battle with Kokushibo, his opponent had easily broken through all his moves. Although he wasn't dead yet, his fist was dead. From now on, whenever he throws a punch, this dark figure will become his ever-present 'sun'.

"waste."

Kokushibo noticed Akaza's change in mood and coldly commented, "It's shameful for a martial artist to be so disheartened by defeat." But just as he was about to return with Genji, a crow suddenly flew in and cawed loudly:

"Back up, back up!"

045 Mission accomplished

While Gengo was entangled in a battle with two Upper Moon demons, the Wind Pillar and Stone Pillar were also besieging Upper Moon Five, the Pot Demon. This demon's abilities were quite troublesome; it could summon various aquatic creatures from its pot to fight, and it could also splash water to restrict the Pillars' movements. It could even change its form, its entire body covered in scales harder than diamonds, yet its body was very flexible. It also possessed the "God Hand," which could turn anything its fist touched into a fish. Therefore, the Wind Pillar and Stone Pillar were not having an easy time fighting it.

However, the plan proceeded smoothly. While the battle was at a stalemate, the battlefield between the two humans and the demon was slowly shifting. At this point, the overall numbers had shifted towards the Demon Slayer Corps. After withstanding the initial strong attack, the reinforcements wielding sun lamps also arrived to provide support.

In an instant, the number of demons decreased drastically, and some demons even fled in terror. Their fear of sunlight made them temporarily forget the horror of the Demon King. Under the deliberate drive of the Demon Slayer Corps, three or four demons appeared outside the battlefield between the two humans and one demon. The Wind Pillar looked at the team members following closely behind, narrowed his eyes, and then stirred up a gale, scattering the fish that spewed out of the pot. At the same time, he swung out a wind blade, trying to cut off the head of the pot demon.

The pot ghost naturally dodged the attack, but just as he was about to mock, a faint fragrance wafted over, refreshing and invigorating. The pot ghost subconsciously looked over and saw that behind the cleaved rock, among the scattered flowers, a small flower that was barely noticeable without careful observation was gradually emitting a blue light, and the fragrance was coming from it. This unexpected change stunned both the humans and ghosts present.

At this moment, the demon closest to the flower swallowed hard. The flower looked like it had a lot of nectar, which made him subconsciously want to take a bite. After all, whether he was a human or a ghost, he had never been able to eat many sweets.

Upon seeing the demon's actions, the Wind Pillar's expression changed. He shouted, ordering the Demon Slayer Corps members to kill the demon as quickly as possible. At the same time, he rushed towards the flower. Meanwhile, the Stone Pillar held off the Pot Demon with all his might, his life-or-death stance making the Pot Demon wary.

However, it was too late. The demon, quick-witted as ever, realized the Demon Slayer Corps was quite interested in the flower, and with all its might, devoured it. Since it was beyond saving anyway, it might as well annoy the Demon Slayer Corps. Just then, the sun lamp shone down, and the demon prepared to howl, but then it discovered...

You're alright?!

This unexpected turn of events stunned the ghosts. Those evil spirits nearby, unable to bear the sun, gnawed at the evil spirit out of their survival instinct, trying to extract the power of the flower from its body so they could also survive. Upon seeing this, the swordsmen holding the sun lamps quietly pressed a button. The color of the light remained the same, but it no longer possessed the destructive power of sunlight.

Therefore, the ghosts were delighted to find that after eating the ghost's flesh, their bodies could actually resist the divine light emanating from the tube. But immediately, a swordsman pressed the button again, the light returned, and the ghost that had eaten the flower was avoided, and the rest were completely destroyed.

"I understand, I understand!!"

Upon seeing this scene, Pot Demon shouted excitedly. He had been searching for the whereabouts of the Blue Spider Lily for Muzan Kibutsuji for many years. Seeing this scene, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he understood everything.

Previously, that half-baked Kokushibo had been showing off his knowledge of the Blue Spider Lily from who-knows-where, but the flower was right under his nose, and he hadn't even noticed it for so long. When we get back, I'll have that person punish him severely!

"Call for help! Call for help! We must save this ghost no matter what!"

At that moment, the wind pillar roared, and the crows scattered instantly, calling the scattered Demon Slayer Corps members to gather here. Outside the battlefield, a swordsman, seeing that the lights were ineffective, took out his "treasure sword" and beheaded the demon. But the demon chuckled, caught his head, and let it grow back. This made the pot demon even more determined in his mind.

That's the blue spider lily; only a demon who eats that flower can overcome both sunlight and the Nichirin Blade!

However, that flower-eating demon was too arrogant. He was merely immortal; his power hadn't increased significantly. He tried to kill the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, but was easily defeated. The pot demon cursed angrily, while the flower-eating demon looked at the 'Nichirin Blade' moving in and out of his body and laughed smugly.

The pot demon tried his best to kidnap the demon, but as the other pillars joined in, he was in danger. Helpless, he could only take advantage of the fact that the encirclement had not yet completely closed, explode a part of his body, and flee down the mountain in a hurry, wanting to report the matter to Lord Muzan Kibutsuji.

Meanwhile, upon hearing the crows' cawing, Genji knew the plan was complete. He slowly turned around, removed the memory chip, inserted it into the finishing move slot, and gently tapped it. With a final, resounding thud, he said in a low voice:

"We're in a hurry, this is a decisive battle. I've already given them a heads-up, so don't say I'm unsportsmanlike."

After speaking, purplish-black flames rose from beneath Gensou and gathered in his right fist. Kokushibo also felt the deadly pressure, but this made him even more excited. Blades grew all over his body, and terrifying sword energy swirled around him. A thought attached itself to the blades, and he seemed to have sensed something as well. After a few seconds of stalemate, the two figures disappeared instantly.

"Clang!"

"Tuo!"

Gengo and Kokushibo switched positions, each maintaining their attack stance. Gengo looked down and saw that the demon's domineering sword intent had sliced ​​through his tattered armor, leaving a line of blood on his abdomen.

Kokushibo closed his eyes, muttered "Good punch," and then flames exploded from his chest, turning him to ashes.

Watching Kokushibo's ashes drift away in the wind, Gengo touched his wounds to make sure he hadn't been affected by any debuffs before heading off to find Himejima Gyomei.

But on the way, he encountered Tsukasa Kadoya and Kaito. The two of them looked quite unexpected. Although their armor was not broken, the gaps on it were covered with grass clippings, as if they had rolled on the ground many times.

The Demon Slayer Corps members who witnessed the fight were speechless. The two were being knocked away and rolled around while fighting the demons, and they really thought that these two guests were no match for the demons. They tried their best to find an opportunity to go forward and help.

But after the crows flew in, the two of them immediately got up nimbly, each using a powerful move to instantly kill the ghost. Then they put their arms around each other and criticized the other for holding back, saying that the other's acting was so bad that he needed to be reworked.

Tell me, this is war! Is this reasonable? Is this reasonable?

Thinking of this, black lines appeared on the heads of the Demon Slayer Corps members.

046 The Ghost King is on the move

Putting aside the two's acting exchange for the moment, Gengo quickly found Himejima Gyomei to inquire about the progress of the plan. He learned that everything was proceeding as they had imagined. All they had to do was keep an eye on this demon, and Kibutsuji Muzan would naturally come to them. This was an opportunity they had been craving for hundreds of years, and they would not let it go no matter what.

At this moment, Hai Dong slowly walked over and stuck half a gemstone onto the head of the evil spirit—

Because of his demon blood, Muzan Kibutsuji can read the thoughts of demons when he gets close to them. However, the further away they are, the less obvious it becomes. He can only sense their general direction and location, but he can still obtain relevant information and thus achieve information sharing.

This was experience accumulated during the early stages of the Demon Slayer Corps' formation, when they clashed with the Demon King. Originally, the Demon Slayer Corps planned to use ordinary iron tools to insert into the brain of the flower-eating demon to stop its thinking. However, if the Demon King noticed this, it might arouse suspicion and cause trouble.

After Kadoya Tsukasa said something to Kaito, Kaito reluctantly took out the half-damaged treasure to interfere with the communication between the demons. Originally, Gengo was worried that the effect was too strong and that the demon king would not be able to find him, but after Kaito stubbornly insisted on guaranteeing his treasure and Kadoya Tsukasa agreed, he still chose to use the treasure.

“In that case, let’s move on to the next step,” Gengo said, looking at the unconscious flower-eating demon. He stretched his arms briefly and then looked at Tsukasa Kadoya and Kaito. “Now we can fight without restraint.”

“No problem,” Tsukasa Kadoya said, taking a card out of the card case and tapping the edge of the card with his finger. “As for the demon, I’ve already decided which card to use to deal with him.”

Kaito didn't say anything, just quietly wiping his transformation device pistol. However, Tsukasa Kadoya knew very well that if the demon king didn't have any good treasures, he would definitely unleash his full power. After all, he had suffered heavy losses on this trip and was too angry to vent his anger on himself and Gengo, so he chose the demon king as his punching bag.

"Compared to this, don't you need to treat your wound?" Tsukasa Kadoya glanced at Gengo's abdominal wound, then looked at the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps and said, "Didn't we agree that Gengo only needed to deal with the Upper Moon One? How come there's another one? Don't you know that holding back makes things much more difficult with an extra opponent?"

"It's okay, I'm good at gang fights."

As Yuanxiang walked, he waved his hand and said, "The main reason I was injured this time was that my armor was too thin. There was nothing I could do about it."

Thinking of this, Tsukasa Kadoya subconsciously glanced at Kaito. Kaito, who was intently selecting cards, suddenly shuddered, looked up to meet Tsukasa's matter-of-fact gaze, and after a moment of silence, said angrily:

"I'm a thief! Not a scientist! And certainly not Doraemon! How would I know what's wrong with his memory!"

"Tsk..."

"Hey! What's with that smacking your lips?! Shi! Don't go too far!!"

Seeing the two reverting to their old ways, the Demon Slayer Corps members tacitly chose to ignore them. Gengo wanted to say something, but after looking around, he realized he couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he remained silent.

"I'm sorry..." x2

At that moment, a girl with grass-green hair and a boy with a snake wrapped around his neck approached and whispered an apology to Gengo, explaining that it was their side that had caused Akaza to rush to Gengo's side.

Seeing the two men covered in wounds, Gengo smiled and patted them on the shoulder, telling them not to worry. After all, Akaza's strength was quite good, and it was understandable that he couldn't stop him.

At that moment, Shinobu Kocho ran over carrying two bamboo tubes. One was filled with wisteria flower juice, and the other contained a special ointment. One was for internal use, and the other was for external application. Gengo instinctively wanted to refuse, but after remembering that the injury was not caused by the memory, he readily accepted the items and helped Shinobu Kocho treat the wound. Actually, he didn't care; the wound wasn't long or deep. He just wanted to make the others feel a little better.

Meanwhile, the Pot Demon had quietly infiltrated the town on the other side of Spider Mountain, arriving at a mansion. He opened the window, looked at the child reading, and said in a low but excited voice:

"My lord, I have found the blue spider lily!!"

'Wow!'

As soon as the words left his mouth, the child's expression turned terrifying. His horrifying gaze made the pot demon tremble. The pot demon obediently slid to the child's side and lowered his head. The child then directly inserted his hand into the pot demon's brain, reading his memories. After seeing that the flower-eating demon had truly overcome the Sun Lamp and the Sun Wheel Blade, the child paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. But immediately his expression turned utterly sinister. He grabbed and crushed the pot demon's head, then kicked it, shattering half of the pot demon's body, and cursed angrily:

"Useless! Useless!! You found out we couldn't bring it back! How dare you even come back!"

"My lord, your subordinate..."

"enough!"

The child sternly interrupted the pot demon's explanation, stood up, and burst into laughter again. The reason why Muzan Kibutsuji became like this and infiltrated the doctor's family as an adopted son under an assumed name was to try to develop a medicine to overcome sunlight. But he didn't expect that just as he started to take action, the coveted spider lily appeared!

"Xilang, what are you laughing about so late at night?"

Muzan Kibutsuji's laughter attracted the attention of the lady of the doctor's house. She adored her adopted son, both for his looks and his thirst for knowledge. But the moment she opened the door, she saw her adopted son, not yet ten years old, growing rapidly. His massive muscles ripped through her carefully chosen pajamas. But what horrified her even more was that a gigantic tentacle, bared with ring-shaped teeth, shot out from his body, lunging at her...
