Monster Hunter Gathering

"Iwakatsu?"

Sadama and Wind Pillar arrived later, so they didn't know about the conversation between Muichiro and Kokushibo, and it was the first time they heard this name.

"You... know my name?" Kokushibo's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was trying to concentrate on observing Nie Chiwu, the abnormal existence.

And Nie Chiwu was also happy to talk to Kokushibo for a few more words.

Being able to use dialogue to first put down your opponent's mentality is as refreshing as shooting a poop-drum at a dragon you don't want to fight.

"Of course I know, it's Tsugukuni Iwakatsu... the twin brother of Tsugukuni Yoriichi, the founder of the breathing method, and the ancestor of Tokito Muichiro." While saying this, Nie Chiwu waved to Feng Zhu and others, indicating that they should stand in a more stable position.

Kokushibo's expression became even more serious.

He was certain that in all these thousands of years, he had never seen or heard of the man before him, yet not only did he call out his name, he also knew the relationship between him and Tsugikoku Yoriichi...

"Knowing so much... and yet possessing such an aura..."

At this moment, Kokushibo's vigilance towards Nie Chiwu was almost reaching the sky.

While the other party was saying these words, Kokushibo had been observing his heart and blood flow. While he was saying those words, there was no abnormal change in his heartbeat.

The other party did not lie at all about what he said about Douma and Akaza. In other words... the short time interval between the deaths of Douma and Akaza was accomplished by the man in front of him, and after that, he rushed here from Akaza's location in a very short time and wanted to attack him.

Those bugs that even he couldn't kill were released by the other party... and the other party could obviously use the bugs to find Muzan directly, but he came here first to kill himself?

At this moment, a lot of thoughts and speculations popped up in Kokushibo's mind, but the more he thought about it, the more he didn't want to act rashly.

"Is this guy really your ancestor?" Feng Zhu asked Wuyilang, and Wuyilang gave a positive answer: "Before you came, I had a conversation with him... He did claim to be so."

"Ha! No matter who that guy is, we four pillars are here now! We will definitely kill him magnificently!" Uzui Tengen was extremely confident.

"Namo... No matter what, we have indeed received tremendous help at this moment." Beimingyu clasped his hands together and chanted silently.

Maybe others didn't notice it, but... Beimeiyu noticed the same thing as Kokushibo.

It was the threat emanating from Nie Chiwu that could be felt in the transparent world... and the huge and abnormal gap between Nie Chiwu's tempered body and his skills.

"How did you know...about Yunyi?" Kokushibo asked under immense pressure, "Those things...should have been known to no one for a long time!"

"Don't worry about it! Not only do I know! I can even break your defense with just one sentence, believe it or not?"

Nie Chiwu waved his hand and said, "After all, the breathing method that you, Ji Guoyansheng, can master is only..."

"It's just the Breath of the Moon derived from the Breath of the Sun."

Chapter 34: Enter Nie Chi, the leader of the lying sword sect!

"!"

Hearing Nie Chiwu's provocative tone and words, Kokushibo couldn't help but use a little more strength in his hand holding the knife.

"..." Although Beimingyu couldn't see, he could sense some subtle changes in Kokushibo in the transparent world.

Others may not have noticed Kokushibo's abnormality, but he felt that Kokushibo was moved by Nie Chiwu's words.

"Isn't that enough?"

Nie Chiwu pointed his finger provocatively downwards at Kokushibo: "Then let's ask this question in a different way!"

"That flute you cut in pieces yourself and gave to Yuichiro, you should still be carrying it with you now!" Nie Chiwu looked at Kokushibo with a sly grin. "What on earth were you thinking that you would carry that bamboo flute around with you for hundreds of years?"

"You should still remember clearly the sword that Yuanyi swung at you before he died. Do you think he couldn't kill you with his first strike, or did he hold back out of pity?" Nie Chiwu grinned. "Well, then, I'd like to invite Mr. Jiguo Yansheng to share his thoughts with us..."

Nie Chiwu opened his arms towards Kokushibo: "You should know about Tanjiro! How did you feel when you saw him using the Breathing of the Sun, wearing the sun wheel earrings, and holding Tsugikoku Yoriichi's sword in his hand?"

"And what about you? What did you leave behind...Are there other users of Moon Breathing besides you? Has anyone inherited the traces you left behind? You can see the transparent world now, can you see the same scene as Tsugakuni Yoriichi?"

"enough!"

At this moment, Kokushibo finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Nie Chiwu: "Where on earth did you know all this?! There's no way anyone else knows this!!"

"When Yoriichi died! There were only him and me there! How did you know all this!" While Kokushibo felt unspeakable anger, the fear of facing the unknown also drilled out from deep within his bones, as if someone was gently pinching his heart from the inside.

"Ha! He's anxious!" Nie Chiwu pointed at Kokushibo and showed a look of amusement in the direction of Muichiro and the others: "Is it possible for me to break his defense with just one word?"

“I just want to see this expression on your face!!!”

Nie Chiwu tilted his head towards Kokushibo, almost lying in front of him: "I just want to see your defenseless, yet helpless expression!!!"

"...?"

Feng Zhu also felt deeply confused about Nie Chiwu at this moment.

Feng Zhu, who hated the existence of ghosts very much, didn't quite understand what Nie Chiwu was doing.

Xuan Mi, who was hiding behind a pillar, was somewhat shocked by Nie Chiwu: "What a... such a wicked person!"

"Cool!!!"

Nie Chiwu clenched his fists and waved them downwards a few times: "Douma has no emotions of his own! Akaza has no memories of his human days! There's no way they can break through!"

"That's right! That's how it should be!!" Nie Chiwu looked refreshed, as if he had just finished a shower and had a glass of iced cola. "Wait until Muzan appears! I will definitely break his defense!"

At this moment, Kokushibo had completely understood that Nie Chiwu seemed to be making fun of him. His heart, which had been calm before, was in turmoil again. "No matter who you are or where you learned this... I will not let you go."

Kokushibo has made his decision. No matter how big a threat Nie Chiwu poses to him, he will make Nie Chiwu pay the price for what he said before.

"..." Beimingyu noticed the change in Kokushibo, and now he also dragged the chain and walked to Nie Chiwu's side, ready for battle.

Seeing Beimingyu move, the other three pillars also took up their fighting stances, but Xuanya was like a bronze player who had accidentally stumbled into a high-end game, hiding behind a pillar, ready to take out his gun and watch...

"Looks like we're about to take action." Nie Chiwu sensed the change in atmosphere and grabbed the hilt of the sword behind him. With the sound of the slot on the scabbard being activated, the huge sword popped out from the side of the scabbard with a clang.

This sword is crimson in color, decorated with monster claws and fangs, rugged yet beautiful...

"Flying Dragon Blade! A derivative of Fire Dragon! A timeless classic of Monster Hunter!!!" Nie Chiwu excitedly said while holding the katana: "Do you feel this scorching aura?!"

"..." Kokushibo had no intention of responding to Nie Chiwu. He was worried about the upcoming battle.

During the current stalemate, Nie Chiwu said to the several pillars around him: "First of all, let me make it clear that I am not good at martial arts."

Nie Chiwu's words made Feng Zhu's eyes widen.

Nie Chiwu doesn't know any martial arts, so how could he dare to say so many provocative words to Kokushibo?

Feng Zhu felt that if he faced Nie Chiwu, he would probably be defeated by just a few words... This guy called the Grand Commander could use words to provoke the other party without any consideration, and there was no possibility of mercy at all.

"I see... But since you, Mr. Commander, have said so, you must have a corresponding plan." Beimingyu did not doubt Nie Chiwu.

Compared to words, he believed more in the oppression he felt from Nie Chiwu in that "transparent world".

"If you really have a way to kill this ghost, I'll accept whatever you ask me to do." Wuyilang was extremely calm in front of Nie Chiwu: "Even if it costs me my life..."

"No one will die here today!" Nie Chiwu interrupted Wu Yilang: "But to kill him! It really requires the joint efforts of everyone present!"

"I refuse to accept tragedy!"

Nie Chiwu said with a refreshing smile: "This is a joint decision made by all members of the first group!"

"No one will die in the final battle tonight!"

Nie Chiwu took a step forward. "Let all the evil spirits that defy the laws of nature disappear... This is nature's wish."

"Tsugikoku Yoshiichi is part of the natural corrective force, just like Monster Hunter. Unfortunately, he failed, and in the end, he only left behind the breathing method."

Nie Chiwu said this, then rushed towards Kokushibo with the huge and unusual sword in his hand: "Come on, Kokushibo!"

Kokushibo concentrated all his energy and prepared to face the attack from Nie Chiwu. He swung forward a huge sword energy in an attempt to block Nie Chiwu's actions.

however……

Nie Chiwu rolled over to avoid the sword energy and rolled directly to Kokushibo's feet, slashing his calf.

"Master of the Lying Sword Sect! Nie Chiwu! Come on in!!!"

Chapter 35: Three ways to steal the chicken!

"???"

Kokushibo was caught off guard by this knife.

Although he had been observing Nie Chiwu's movements, Nie Chiwu, holding this huge sword that looked powerful and powerful, taller than a normal person, rolled over and slashed his calf...

What kind of swordsmanship is this? I haven't seen anything like this in hundreds of years.

Although shocked, Kokushibo reacted quickly. The demon's flesh and blood transformed into a knife in his hand and slashed directly at Nie Chiwu under him.

However, Nie Chiwu rolled over again, and the huge sword that looked majestic slashed towards Kokushibo in a wretched manner.

"Do you want to insult me ​​in this way!!!" Kokushibo angrily dodged Nie Chiwu's lying knife, and at the same time swung out a large range of sword energy to block the attacks of others, blocking Beimingyu and others from the attack.

But Nie Chiwu said confidently: "This is the swordsmanship of our Tangdi Sect! Not to mention you! Even Black Dragon, Elden Magic Beast, and Ashina Isshin can be killed by me!"

"enough!!!"

Nie Chiwu's words continued to irritate Kokushibo's nerves, causing his heart, which had been calm for hundreds of years, to churn violently once again: "I will never acknowledge someone like you! You are a monster like Yoriichi! Fight me with your true skills!!!"

"I won't! I am a great hunter with my own fighting style!" Nie Chiwu shouted while doing three consecutive rolls at Kokushibo's feet, miraculously avoiding Kokushibo's sword energy. This shameless fighting style made Kokushibo even more angry.

The other pillars who were trying to join forces to besiege Kokushibo had no time to pay attention to Nie Chiwu's fighting style, so the burden of complaining fell on Xuan Mi, the only one who could not fight Kokushibo head-on.

Looking at Nie Chiwu, who completely disregarded his own face, rolled around on the ground like a mole and took the opportunity to attack Kokushibo's three directions, Xuan Mi never recovered his shocked expression.

"Is it possible to fight like this?! It actually...worked on that monstrous Upper Rank One!"

Nie Chiwu, on the other hand, rolled over and stole the sword while looking at his accumulated Qi Blade Gauge...

And Nie Chiwu's choice of lying on the ground with his sword...was indeed a choice forced upon him.

"After I get back, I must undergo special training!" Nie Chiwu cried silently in his heart.

If possible, Nie Chiwu didn't want to play the lying sword technique... Who started playing with a katana not for the sake of looking cool?

He also wanted to face Kokushibo with a cool Kiriguden, but that sentence was right...

No matter how powerful you are in the game, it's still fake...

If Nie Chiwu just rushed forward without caring about anything, I guess there would have to be another [Cat] after [Qie Judeng].

This is Kokushibo! Not Miss Black Dragon! As soon as Miss Black Dragon opens her mouth, Nie Chiwu knows she's about to have morning sickness! Nie Chiwu has never fought Kokushibo before!

Nie Chiwu continued to secretly attack Kokushibo in this sad and angry way, making Kokushibo more and more angry.

“As long as it works!”

Feng Zhu didn't care at all and even agreed with Nie Chiwu's fighting style.

In his opinion, any fighting method that can kill evil spirits is a good fight.

As for the others, they all have their own opinions...

Tengen Uzui really wanted to say that Nie Chiwu's fighting style was not very flashy, but considering that Nie Chiwu helped him heal his broken hands and eyes, Tengen Uzui just continued to launch fierce attacks on Kokushibo.

Muichiro didn't care about Nie Chiwu at all, and just cooperated calmly. As for Beimingyu, he was immersed in the transparent world he had just discovered, observing the movements of Kokushibo, Nie Chiwu and others, so that he could cooperate at any time.

Originally, Kokushibo was confident that he could keep fighting these guys. He was an advanced user of breathing techniques, and with his unusual body as a demon, he would not get tired even if the battle lasted for a long time.

But Kokushibo gradually felt that there was something abnormal with his calf.

It seemed as if a scorching force was burning his calves... Kokushibo immediately thought of Nie Chiwu's attacks.

After using a large range of swordsmanship to repel the people around him and retreating to a safer place, Kokushibo also took a very short time to observe his own situation.

At this moment, at the place where Kokushibo was attacked by Nie Chiwu, there seemed to be flames burning... It was somewhat like the power of Yoriichi after he used the Breathing of the Sun to turn the Nichirin Sword red, but it was fundamentally different.

It was just fire. Nie Chiwu's attack only carried fire, and it did not have the kind of natural enemy restraint on ghosts.

"Since you are unwilling to use your true strength..." More forks extended from the sword in Kokushibo's hand, which had countless terrifying eyes.

Each extension represents a wider attack range of Kokushibo. In the next moment, after Kokushibo swung his sword, the chaotic large-scale slashes turned into countless sword auras that raged towards him.

The five people who were fighting Kokushibo head-on at this moment were also within the range of this attack, and the first one to react was Beimeiyu.

"Protect the vital parts!"

Beimingyu's huge chain hammer danced with his extraordinary strength, blocking most of the attacks in front of him, but there were still many attacks that slipped through the gaps and injured Beimingyu's tall body.

It was not just Beimingyu. Although the other pillars had received Beimingyu's reminder, they also suffered many injuries in the continuous slashing. Even Muichiro's wrist and the Wind Pillar's fingers were cut off.

Although the broken limbs will regenerate soon, the pressure brought by Kokushibo is still deeply engraved in their hearts.

The former spotted swordsman, one of the upper ranks, even mastered the breathing method of his human period with perfection, and continuously improved his skills over the long years.

"He's really an opponent I don't want to face." Muichiro clenched the knife in his only remaining hand.
