The purpose was not to kill, but to constantly resist and fight, not allowing Ichimaru Gin to get away.

Once the man named Ichimaru Gin in front of him gets away from him, he can attack from a distance, but now he just needs to keep fighting and rely on his blood demon art, not giving him this opportunity, and he will be the winner if the fight continues.

Your opponent will get hurt and lose energy, but he won't.

Akaza no longer used those large-scale powerful blood demon arts, but only maintained the effect of "ritual deployment", blocking every move of the person in front of him to distance himself.

"You are so annoying."

"I feel the same way. I hate you too!" Akaza said as he looked at Ichimaru Gin whose smile had faded a little. The previous words gave him a bad feeling. However, when he later recalled other words this person had said, he felt that what he said was a bit contradictory.

He said he was weak and terrible at the same time, and let him say it all.

But disgusting is disgusting, and that won't change.

"Huh!" Rengoku Kyojuro took a deep breath as he watched the battle between the two: "Very strong, but this won't be good!"

To summarize the battle between the two, Akaza was hit a hundred times and Ichimaru Gin was hit once.

Although his injuries did not seem serious after he relieved the force himself, the injuries were still accumulating, while his opponent, Ghost, had not felt any discomfort at all until now.

He had a deep understanding of this point as he had fought against Upper Rank Three Akaza before. It was common to chop off a demon's hands and leave scars on his body during the battle, although not to the extent of Ichimaru Gin.

But he was also left with about ten injuries, and he was only hit once.

But the problem is that even if Akaza has many injuries on his body, he will recover in the next moment, so it will be useless unless his head is chopped off.

And a big part of the reason why Akaza could be hit so easily was that he fully utilized his physical fitness as a demon to 'exchange injury for injury'. He was prepared to be injured, so he protected his vital parts very well. It was not difficult to injure him, but it was almost impossible to chop off his neck.

If you continue like this, you will be dragged to death by the ghost.

"Is this the Upper Three?" Rengoku Kyojuro widened his eyes and observed his movements: "That's right, his blood demon art should be similar to 'prediction'. Is it to predict my moves through murderous aura or fighting spirit?"

'And the ghost's skills became more and more sophisticated. No, it should be said that he gradually got used to Ichimaru's attack, whether it was the change in the length of the blade or his attack habits. After getting used to it, he began to predict his attacks.'

"I see, I almost understand!" Rengoku Kyojuro shouted, "I'm going to do it!"

"Ok?"

A strong fighting spirit rushed over, and Akaza's technique immediately sensed it: "This feeling?"

Rengoku Kyojuro's attack was weak and light.

However, the next moment, Rengoku Kyojuro's movements suddenly became swift, he cut off his arm with a knife and then slashed towards his neck.

"I see! Interesting--" Akaza laughed: "You are actually controlling your own fighting spirit!"

As he said this, he turned his head to avoid the longer blade of Gin Ichimaru. Although his shoulder was cut off afterwards, he regenerated it in an instant.

"Sure enough, your move is the induction of fighting spirit!" Rengoku Kyojuro said as flames wrapped around the blade. Although he maintained a strong fighting spirit in the first attack, he did not use much force. When Akaza made a wrong judgment, he tried to reduce the fighting spirit as much as possible in the second attack while delivering the strongest attack he could in this situation. Because fighting spirit was really difficult to control, the offensive force was inevitably weakened in this process.

But the results appeared!

This way we have a chance to kill this ghost!

"Ichimaru! Let's work together to kill this ghost—"

"No, it looks like this is the end." Ichimaru Gin looked into the distance: "Daybreak is about to begin."

Chapter 25 It’s dawn

Chapter 25 It's Dawn

"Indeed." Akaza looked at the sky that was about to light up in the distance and said to Rengoku Kyojuro, "Unfortunately, this time it has to end here. It's a pity that I couldn't kill you. Let's try again next time."

He admired Rengoku Kyojuro very much. This strong fighting spirit made him very happy and he wanted to fight him again. As for Ichimaru Gin, he didn't know why he didn't feel any fighting spirit from this person. Although there was some, it was very small.

Perhaps that was why I didn't notice him at first. Let him appear suddenly. This person should have mastered some method of controlling his fighting spirit, and maybe he has already reached the highest level.

But he is such a disgusting person that Akaza doesn't like him.

"Impossible!" Rengoku Kyojuro rushed over and said, "That's perfect. I'll keep you here until dawn!"

"Haha, can you keep me back with your power?" Akaza laughed.

"Ichimaru--!" Rengoku Kyojuro shouted.

Gin Ichimaru was bleeding and looked injured, but he still had that smile on his face and had no intention of helping: "You are really amazing. Although ghosts are weak, you are really strong. You asked me this before, right? Then I will ask you a question too, why did you become a ghost?"

"?" Rengoku Kyojuro was a little confused, wondering why he didn't take action at this time.

"Of course, it's to pursue the highest realm." Akaza turned around and said, "This kind of thing can't be accomplished overnight. It's impossible to do this with your human lifespan. What do you think? Are you interested?"

Akaza smiled and said, "If you want to become a ghost now, I can help you."

"How is that possible?" Ichimaru Gin smiled and said, "How could I become a ghost? But... why do you want to pursue the highest realm?"

Why do we pursue the highest realm? Of course, because. Why?

Akaza was stunned.

There seems to be some memory in my mind——!

boom!

The next moment, Akaza glanced at the whitening sky and instantly disappeared from their sight.

"you"

Rengoku Kyojuro looked at Ichimaru Gin who had no intention of stopping him and felt a little confused.

"My Zanpakuto can sense a little bit of my opponent's inner thoughts during battle." Ichimaru Gin said, pointing at the Zanpakuto in his hand.

Of course it's fake. This is Ichigo Kurosaki's ability, not Gin Ichimaru's ability.

"It seems that the reason he wanted to become stronger in the first place was to protect others."

"Protecting others? How is this possible?" Tanjiro Kamado walked over and said in disbelief.

"Nothing is unbelievable." Ichimaru Gin put away his Zanpakutō. "Most ghosts are like this, doing things that are completely opposite to what they did in their lifetime. You know the reason, right? That guy also lost a lot of his memories from his lifetime, but my words just now probably awakened some of them."

"Kibutsuji Muzan" Tanjiro Kamado gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, he is the only one who must not be let go!"

"But this is not a reason for you to let him go." Rengoku Kyojuro said, "And if it is really as you said, killing him is the only way to free him, right? The real him is also waiting for someone to help him free!"

"That's right, but he's still useful for now. That guy only fights strong men, so there's no need to worry about him killing innocent people." Ichimaru Gin looked at the sunlight gradually appearing in the distance and said, "Next time, you guys will kill him. Letting him go is better than letting other upper ranks go."

"Which means why Mr. Ichimaru wants to let the upper rank go."

"You've met him before, right? Muzan Kibutsuji." Ichimaru Gin didn't answer directly, but looked at Tanjiro Kamado: "That guy is very timid. He ran away when he saw me for the first time. If I didn't tell him 'I'm not strong' in this way, that guy might have hidden himself for hundreds of years without coming out."

"That's bad." Ichimaru Gin smiled and said, "Let's try to deal with him in this generation. Then I'll have done what I need to do. Goodbye."

"So that's it! I completely understand!" Rengoku Kyojuro said loudly as he looked at the disappearing Ichimaru Gin.

"Ah, what does that mean?" Agatsuma Zenitsu said with some confusion.

"In other words, it's not my illusion?" Inosuke Hashibira stared with his pig eyes. He could more or less sense the murderous aura and fighting spirit in a person. It was his wild intuition.

This time, he sensed a strong aura from both Rengoku Kyojuro and Akaza, but hardly any such aura from Ichimaru Gin.

"That's right, Ichimaru didn't use his full strength." After controlling his fighting spirit just now, Rengoku Kyojuro felt that he understood the matter completely: "Ichimaru didn't hide his fighting spirit, but he didn't have it because he wasn't serious at all! Really amazing! He is worthy of being the one chosen by the lord, he is stronger than I imagined, hahahaha——"

"I'm so tired," Ichimaru Gin sighed. He was not tired from fighting, but from acting, especially after that, in order to prevent Akaza from knocking him away with a punch, he instead kept a distance from him and used his Zanpakutō, so even if he hit him, the power was not very strong.

For an attack of this magnitude, even if he concealed his spiritual pressure, he was only limiting the output of power instead of using a limited spiritual seal.

This spiritual pressure was still automatically protecting him, and in order to create the effect of being injured, he deliberately used the spiritual pressure to hit himself slightly at the same time as being hit, thus getting injured.

"However, if this happens, Muzan Kibutsuji will relax his guard. Don't let my efforts go to waste."

This kind of acting will only happen this time. In the remaining battles, even if he participates in them, he will not need to exert too much strength to win easily. And when Muzan Kibutsuji appears, there will be no need to hide his strength.

This will be the only and last time. Even if I go to other worlds in the future, this situation will not happen again.

After all, when it comes to cowardice, Muzan Kibutsuji dares to claim second place, and it seems no one dares to claim first place.

At least Gin Ichimaru couldn't think of anyone more cowardly than him for the time being.

Then there is the harvest this time.

The unlocking degree of Ichimaru Gin's character card has increased by 1%, and the biggest gain is the source points, which have increased by a full 40 points! 40 points!

In the original work, six of the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps died. If he could save them all, one would be 40 points, and six would be 240 points, which would be enough for him to travel through the worlds and draw character cards once, and he would still have some left over.

The Demon Slayer Corps' lord, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, should also be counted for money. How much will he be given if he is rescued?

"Sure enough, letting someone who was supposed to die live gives a lot more source points than killing someone who was supposed to die anyway."

Chapter 26 Purgatory Anjuro

Chapter 26: Purgatory Kyojuro

"I am here to report to you, Master Muzan."

"Well done, Akaza." The child-like Muzan Kibutsuji smiled rarely and praised the Upper Three: "Now you know."

Although the man called 'Ichimaru Gin' does have strong power, this power has no obvious effect on the upper-rank demons, let alone him, the ancestor of demons.

"This mission was accomplished well. Next, we will continue to look for the [Blue Bianhua]. Let's go down."

"Yes."

As Akaza said this, he disappeared from Kibutsuji Muzan's sight.

Muzan Kibutsuji breathed a sigh of relief, finally confirming that Gin Ichimaru was not the next Yoriichi Tsugakuni. As for why Akaza did not sense much of Gin Ichimaru's fighting spirit during the battle, that was also very simple.

He also couldn't feel the fighting spirit of Yuichiro Tsugakuni.

When Tsugikoku Yoshiichi just stood in front of him, he was still thinking 'this guy looks so weak', but he almost lost his mind.

'But if we think about it another way, perhaps becoming as powerful as Yoriichi Tsugikoku and completely eliminating one's own fighting spirit is the most crucial step. 'Among the demons he has created so far, only the Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, has achieved this.

That is the 'transparent world' mentioned by the Upper One, and the 'supreme realm' mentioned by the Upper Three.

However, this "supreme realm" is also divided into layers. One of the Upper Ranks only stepped into it and did not go far, but who knows what realm that monster Tsugikuni Yoriichi has reached.

Whenever he thought of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Muzan Kibutsuji's body trembled.

I have lived for a thousand years and have never met anyone who can compare with him.

And since Gin Ichimaru still has fighting spirit, it means that his level is not as good as the one of the Upper Ranks, but the strange blade he created happens to restrain the one of the Upper Ranks.

But compared with Tsugumi Yoriichi, he is far worse, so he no longer needs to worry about anything. Ever since the appearance of Ichimaru Gin, the always worried Muzan Kibutsuji can finally rest assured again.

"It was really dangerous. Fortunately, you followed." Shinobu Kocho bandaged Gin Ichimaru's wound and said, "If it weren't for this, Mr. Rengoku and the others would be in danger."

"Not necessarily." Ichimaru Gin said with a smile: "Although the Upper Three is powerful, the three little ghosts should be able to help block one or two attacks after my training. Maybe they can hold out until dawn."

"That depends on luck." Kocho Shinobu sighed and patted Ichimaru Gin on the back: "Okay, the wound is bandaged."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. Fortunately, you came early." Kocho Shinobu said with a smile, "If you had come a little later, your wound would have healed."

"Really. Shinobu has also learned how to joke."

"It's not a joke, it's the truth." Shinobu Kocho said, "Your injuries are not serious. They are all on the surface of the skin, and you were injured by your own strength. If you use all your strength, how long will it take you to defeat Upper Rank Three?"

"I don't know. He's also very strong." Ichimaru Gin put on his clothes and said with a smile, "It's hard to say about this kind of thing."

Shinobu Kocho smiled and said nothing, but her expression already showed what she wanted to say.

[Do you think I will believe what you say? ]

The words "I don't believe it" were almost written on Shinobu Kocho's face.

"Hahaha, don't look at me like that. After all, I really don't know." Ichimaru Gin was not lying. He had not yet tried to use Ichimaru Gin's character card at full strength, so how could he know how strong he was.

At most, you can make a rough estimate. You don't need to speak out the result of the estimate. Just keep it in your mind.
