People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Even without using the Breathing Technique Sword Style, Kokushibo's swordsmanship was terrifyingly powerful.

"Blood Demon Art? Prism Wall Ice Seal!"

Lianxue aimed her palms at Heishibo and continuously released a chilling aura that could instantly freeze a body.

"Breath of the Moon? Fifth Form? Lunar Calamity Vortex!"

This is Kokushibo's only defensive technique, which can be released without drawing his sword. He continuously spins around himself, creating a huge vortex of blade wind that deflects all the cold air released by Koyuki.

At the same time, countless crescent blades remained along the trajectory of Kokushibo's blade wind attack, whistling towards Koyuki and Koume.

"Blood Demon Art? Vortex Frost Rolls Across the Sky!"

With herself at the center, Renyuki created a tornado around her, filled with countless sharp ice shards, which swept towards Kokushibo.

Kokushibo's Crescent Blade was caught in the tornado and instantly vanished.

"Breath of the Moon - Eighth Form - Moon Dragon Tail!"

Kokushibo wielded his demon blade, unleashing a massive horizontal slash that swept away everything in its path, instantly flattening Koiyuki's tornado.

Kokushibo's six ghostly eyes stared menacingly at Renyuki and Koume.

"Is this all the strength you have? Your attacks can't even touch the hem of my clothes, yet you can't even kill an infant..."

Lianxue and Xiaomei exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination: "Xiaomei, use that move!"

Xiaomei nodded: "I understand, Sister Lianxue!"

"Blood Demon Art? Chaotic Silk Dance!"

"Blood Demon Art? Drawing Water and Carving Ice!"

Xiaomei released countless ribbons from her body, and Lianxue's ice crystals covered Xiaomei's ribbons, condensing on the surface of the silk.

This is a Blood Demon Art created by Lianxue and Xiaomei working together. It not only retains the ribbon's resilience but also adds its freezing properties. Anything it touches will instantly freeze into ice, and even the air can be frozen.

"Useless struggle, Moon Breathing? Third Form? Moon Aversion? Erosion!"

Kokushibo created a crescent-shaped blade at the edge of his sword and then unleashed a series of slashes, releasing two crescent-shaped blade winds. At the same time, many crescent-shaped blades of varying sizes were generated around him, attacking Koyuki and Koume.

The moment Xiaomei's ribbon touched Kokushibo's Crescent Moon Blade, the blade instantly froze into ice and fell to the ground.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Xiaomei quickly manipulated the silk ribbons to attack Kokushibo. Just a touch would completely freeze Kokushibo.

Kokushibo constantly dodged and weaved to avoid the ribbons' attacks, his body once again surrounded by swirling blades with crescent-shaped blades, but when they touched the ribbons, they would instantly freeze into ice.

Kokushibo swung his demon blade to block Komei's ribbon, but the demon blade in his hand was frozen and then broke.

As the ribbon drew closer and closer to Kokushibo, Komei's heart was filled with hope!

"We won! Sister Lianxue!" Xiaomei shouted excitedly, because the ribbon had touched Kokushibo's clothes, and Kokushibo was instantly frozen.

"Blood Demon Art? Bird Flock Ice Pillars!"

Renyuki fired a barrage of ice bullets, attacking the frozen Kokushibo like a flock of birds.

Just as the ice bullet was about to shatter the frozen Kokushibo, Kendo, who had been hiding in the mirror, suddenly appeared.

"Blood Demon Art? Mirror Reflection!"

A mirror suddenly appeared in front of Kokushibo, absorbing all the ice bullets and returning them all to Koyuki.

Lianxue created an ice wall to block all the ice bullets.

Cracks appeared on Kokushibo's frozen body, and the next second all the ice crystals on his body shattered, and Kokushibo broke out of the ice.

Kokushibo exhaled a chilling breath: "Not bad, it can freeze my blood in an instant, but that's all."

Kokushibo raised the demon blade in his hand, [Hollow Cry God], and the broken blade instantly "grew back" to its original shape, with an even longer, alien blade that grew out of the blade.

Chapter 81 Yosuke Arrives

"Breath of the Moon? Ninth Form? Fallen Moon? Faceless!"

Kokushibo wielded his evolved Oni Blade, unleashing a series of chaotic and invisible slashes in the air, generating multiple intersecting blade winds and crescent-shaped blades that hurtled towards Koyuki and Koume.

"Blood Demon Art? Barrier? Snowflake Ice Array!"

A snowflake array appeared beneath Lianxue's feet, unfolding like a healing spell, with countless pure white snowflakes swirling within it.

The moment the snowflakes in the snowflake array touched the blade wind and the crescent blade, they created an ice explosion, which canceled out Kokushibo's attack.

It seemed as if Renyuki had easily blocked Kokushibo's attack, but in reality, Renyuki was struggling immensely. To block Kokushibo's attack, the ice explosions generated by the snowflakes would need to have an equal amount of power to counteract it.

At this moment, Renyuki was extremely exhausted. If it weren't for the enhancement from Yosuke's blood, the snowflake array might have already failed the moment it came into contact with Kokushibo's attack.

Xiaomei also knew that Lianxue was going through a very difficult time, so she did her best to use her Blood Demon Art.

"Blood Demon Art? Blood Satin Slash"

Xiao Mei's countless ribbons were covered in a layer of blood, which continued to extend throughout the entire mirror cage. The sharp ribbons kept slashing at Heishibo and Jian Tong.

"It seems you've run out of ideas. I thought you'd bring me some unexpected surprises, but how boring!"

Kokushibo, who was within Komei's slash range, had already activated the Transparent World. All of Komei's attacks were predicted by Kokushibo, who strolled leisurely among the slashes, and not a single attack could hit Kokushibo.

"Breath of the Moon? Fourteenth Form? Calamity? Full Moon!"

Countless enormous crescent-shaped blades and giant moon blades appeared, instantly wiping out Lianxue's snowflake array. Xiaomei's ribbons were also completely destroyed, and countless deep, bone-revealing wounds appeared on her body.

Kokushibo looked down at Renyuki and Koume, who were lying on the ground covered in blood, with disdain: "You are just lucky ones who have gained some power. Even if you become demons, you still can't escape the category of the weak. Ubuyashiki Yosuke's capacity is nothing more than that."

Seeing Kokushibo insult Yosuke in this way, the enraged Koume manipulated the ribbons to attack Kokushibo.

Kokushibo stomped Komei's ribbon on the ground, raised his gleaming demon blade, and swung it to behead her.

Suddenly, a tremendous force struck the child's mirror cage.

The mirror cage collapsed and disintegrated in an instant.

Yosuke suddenly appeared in front of Renyuki and Koume, kicking Kokushibo away.

Renyuki and Koume exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Yosuke? What brings you here?!"

"It was Ghost Crow who notified me. When Ghost Crow dies, its memories are transmitted to my mind. I found out that you were in danger, so I came here immediately."

Yosuke looked at the six eyes on Kokushibo's face with contempt: "How ugly, Kokushibo. It seems you have completely abandoned the will of your Tsugikuni clan."

Kokushibo sneered, "To gain endless years to hone my swordsmanship, I have never regretted becoming a demon!"

Yosuke couldn't help but chuckle: "Hone your swordsmanship, huh?"

Kokushibo frowned deeply: "What are you laughing at?"

"Hardening your sword skills is just your excuse. The real reason is that you are just unwilling to accept it. You are jealous of Yoriichi's talent and jealous that Yoriichi is better than you in every way."

Yoriichi is gone. No matter how strong you become, it's useless. You will never be as good as Yoriichi. Remember, never!

Kokushibo lowered his head, inwardly acknowledging what Yosuke had said. He had originally chosen to become this ugly in order to defeat Yoriichi, but Yoriichi's death meant that he would never have another chance to surpass Yoriichi, and he would always be one step behind Yoriichi.

Kokushibo raised his head, his eyes filled with unwavering determination: "I will never lose to anyone again!"

Yang Jie scoffed, "Don't you think what you're saying is contradictory?"

Kokushibo stared at Yosuke with six surprised eyes.

"Do you think you have a chance against Kibu Muzan, or against me? Kibu Muzan can do whatever he wants with you, taking your life or death at will, and you'll never lose to anyone again? That's just an excuse to comfort yourself!"

Speechless after being confronted by Yosuke, Kokushibo chose to use the sword in his hand to prove his will.

Jian Tong, however, tugged at Kuroshibo's sleeve and stammered, "No... opponent... run..."

The words of the child completely pierced Kokushibo's fragile and proud heart: "I will never run away! Even if it means death!"

"Breath of the Moon? Form of Sixteen? Moonbow? Lone Moon!"

Enraged, Kokushibo wielded his evolved demon blade, unleashing several massive blade gusts of wind that shattered the earth, accompanied by countless crescent-shaped blades falling from the sky.

With a wave of his hand, Yosuke created a wall of blood that rose from the ground, blocking all of Kokushibo's crescent blades.

Kokushibo kept swinging his demon blade, but Yosuke easily blocked it.

"You are far too weak. In the hundreds of years you have lived, what have you learned? You have given up your human emotions. What have you gained? Even if you become stronger, stronger than anyone else, what will you have left? All you have now is this ugly body."

Hatred and humiliation surged into Kokushibo's heart, and the blade he wielded gradually became erratic.

"On the last day I met Yoriichi, he was thinking of you and cherished the piccolo you gave him. The feelings between you and Yoriichi were separated by the cliff of 'jealousy' in your heart. How pitiful. Now that you are called Kokushibo, can you still remember your name when you were a human?"

"Jikoku Iwakatsu!"

Kokushibo's sword-wielding motion stopped instinctively, and Yosuke's blood-formed spikes instantly pierced through Kokushibo's body.

Kokushibo, severely injured by Yosuke, fell to the ground. Yosuke continued to humiliate Kokushibo: "How pathetic. For Kaori to have an outcast like you in the Tsugikuni clan is truly a disgrace!"

Just as Yosuke was about to finish off Kokushibo, Kendo, who was standing nearby, unleashed a Blood Demon Art on Kokushibo.

"Blood Demon Art? Mirror Concealment".

A mirror appeared out of thin air, quickly merging Kokushibo into the mirror space and avoiding Yosuke's attack.

Yosuke glanced at Kendo with a cold, indifferent look.

Faced with Yosuke's gaze, Kendo subconsciously took a step back, intending to use Mirror Concealment again to leave.

The mirror reappeared, but just as the child entered it, the mirror shattered with a crash.

"It is indeed a unique ability to generate your own space, but the weakness of your Blood Demon Art is also so obvious. When hit by an attack that exceeds your own strength, your mirror cannot withstand it, and your Blood Demon Art will become ineffective."

The child's blank expression was filled with fear.

Chapter 82 Kokushibo and Yoriichi Tsugikuni

Kamado kept creating mirrors in an attempt to hide himself, but to no avail. The moment a mirror appeared, it would be shattered by Yosuke.

"He has no offensive abilities, yet he was chosen by Muzan Kibutsuji to become an Upper Moon because of his unique abilities... Interesting."

A thought suddenly popped into Yosuke's mind, and he grabbed the boy in front of him by the collar and lifted him up.

"Compared to the small amount of blood extracted, a complete upper moon of the Twelve Demon Moons should be of much more research value."

As if seeing through Yosuke's thoughts, the child struggled frantically.

Yosuke's right hand pierced into Kento's chest, and his own blood continued to flow into Kento's body.
