"Forget it. But this way, Muzan Kibutsuji will relax his vigilance against you." Shinobu Kocho sighed, "And these are for you."

As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho handed Gin Ichimaru a palm-sized box.

"what is this?"

"I prepared the potion." Shinobu Kocho smiled and stretched out a finger: "Only a little bit is needed to temporarily sever the connection between the demon and Muzan Kibutsuji. Of course, this also depends on the strength of the demon. If it is an upper-rank demon, even if all of it is used, it can only sever the connection for a short time."

"But this should be enough." Shinobu Kocho said, "A few seconds is enough for you to display your true strength without worrying about scaring Muzan Kibutsuji."

"This is really a good thing." Ichimaru Gin put the thing into his sleeve: "This way, next time I encounter an upper-rank demon, I can also exert some real power depending on the situation."

"Father!" Rengoku Kyojuro said loudly to his father who had his back to him, "I encountered Upper Rank Three during this mission. I'm sorry that I failed to kill him and disappointed you!"

Rengoku Kyojuro, who had his back to Rengoku Kyojuro, had his pupils shrank and the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly. Fortunately, he was not discovered because his back was turned.

The Third?

This demon Rengoku Makijuro knew that he had heard that some pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps were killed by the Upper Three, but it was not Kyojuro's generation, but his generation.

Kyojuro met Upper Rank Three? Fortunately, he came back alive.

Rengoku Makijuro calmed his expression, turned his head slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Rengoku Kyojuro was not injured: "Isn't this natural?"

"?"

"How boring." Rengoku Makijuro turned his head. Although he was relieved in his heart, he did not show any thoughts: "You have reached your limit now. You still want to kill Upper Rank Three? Look at yourself clearly. You are not cut out for it."

"Yes!" Rengoku Kyojuro shouted, "I will definitely work hard to become that material!"

"."

"Then I'll go practice!" Rengoku Kyojuro shouted with his eyes wide open, as if he wasn't hit at all:

"Well, if I can defeat Upper Rank Three, my father's opinion of me will change. Think about it. Based on the experience gained from the last battle with Upper Rank Three, think about how to kill him!"

If he wanted to attack with all his strength, his fighting spirit would not weaken, and this would be sensed by the blood demon arts of the Upper Three.

If you don't attack with all your strength and choose to hold back, although your fighting spirit will be weakened, you won't be able to hurt the Upper Three.

By the way, let’s go find Gin Ichimaru!

He has also fought against Upper Three, so maybe he knows a way to defeat him.

Chapter 27 Transparent World

Chapter 27: The Transparent World

"Ichimaru! Ichimaru—!"

Rengoku Kyojuro stood in front of the Butterfly House, waiting for him with his big eyes and shouted.

There is a saying that goes, "There are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames." The nickname given to him by Inosuke Hashibira fits his image very well - Gulu Gulu Big Eyes.

This nickname aptly describes Rengoku Kyojuro's appearance.

"Mr. Rengoku?" Shinobu Kocho came out after hearing the voice: "Um, Mr. Rengoku, are you looking for Gin?"

"Butterfly, that's right, I came here to find Ichimaru this time. Is he here?" Rengoku Kyojuro said with his eyes wide open.

"Mr. Gin has gone to the lord's place. He must have something to discuss. He will be back soon." Shinobu Kocho said with a smile.

"I see. So what about the Kamado boys? Are they still here?"

"They went out too." Shinobu Kocho said with a smile, "Those three people didn't suffer any injuries, so they went on a mission not long after they came back."

"I see. Then I'll wait for a while." Rengoku Kyojuro nodded and said.

"Then don't stand here, let's go in and wait."

"No, I'll just wait here!" Rengoku Kyojuro said, "This way I can know when Ichimaru will come back! Butterfly, you don't have to worry about me. There must be a lot of things you need to take care of."

"." The corner of Shinobu Kocho's eye twitched. Although she didn't need to care about what others thought, it would feel weird if Rengoku Kyojuro just stood outside the Butterfly House like this.

And in fact, it is impossible to "ignore other people's eyes". Humans are social creatures. No matter how strong they are, it is difficult to completely ignore the influence of the outside world.

"Then I'll wait with you."

"?"

Rengoku Kyojuro was about to say something when he saw a figure approaching from the corner of his eye: "Looks like I don't have to wait any longer, I'm lucky!"

Ichimaru Gin put his hands in his sleeves, squinted his eyes, and walked over with a smile, looking at the two people: "Oh my, are you waiting for me?"

"That's right! Ichimaru, let's practice to defeat the Upper Rank Demon we met last time!" Rengoku Kyojuro stretched out his hand and clenched his fist in front of him and said, "Both of us have actually fought against that Upper Rank Demon, and we have some understanding of his abilities. How about that!"

"That's no problem for me." Ichimaru Gin looked at Shinobu Kocho who was standing beside him and said, "You have something to ask me too?"

"No, it's just that Mr. Purgatory was looking for you here so I came out to check." Butterfly Shinobu smiled helplessly: "But since you are back, you don't need my help anymore. How is the lord?"

"We have already discussed everything that needs to be discussed. Now we just need to wait for the right time. Come on." Ichimaru Gin said to Rengoku Kyojuro, "Come to the back mountain."

"Very good, Ichimaru, I'll take care of the next step, please!"

As they talked, the two came to the back mountain. Rengoku Kyojuro looked at the blades scattered all over the ground and picked up one at random: "Well, this place is not bad."

The place is nice, but the knives are not so good. They look powerful in general, but if you pick up a knife at random when you get close, you will find that many of the knives here have chips or rust.

After all, the knives here are not made of high-quality materials, and no one maintains them. They are just left there on rainy days, so it is natural for them to rust.

Even when Rengoku Kyojuro held the knife, he could feel the sand between the handle and his palm.

"Then I'll get straight to the point." Rengoku Kyojuro said, "If you want to kill Muzan Kibutsuji, you can't skip the upper-rank demon next to him, so Akaza must be defeated no matter what! But his blood demon art is too tricky, do you have any preparations?"

“Not completely.”

"Oh, tell me in detail!" Rengoku Kyojuro said in surprise.

"That Upper Three said it, right? The highest realm."

"Right! Akaza did say that. Does that have anything to do with defeating him?"

"That's right." Ichimaru Gin said with a smile, "As far as I know, after reaching the so-called highest realm, one can see the 'transparent world', be able to see through clothes and skin, see the muscles, bones, and internal organs of the human body, and predict the opponent's next move based on their movements."

"And after reaching this state, one's own fighting spirit and murderous aura will be completely eliminated, and others will see them as plants. The name of this state is [Transparent World]"

"Great!" Rengoku Kyojuro raised his head and shouted, "Then let's work hard towards the goal of [Transparent World]!"

As long as we reach this level, we can defeat Upper Three.

"Unfortunately, I haven't mastered this realm either."

"Hmm? Not even Ichimaru?" Rengoku Kyojuro tilted his head and thought for a moment: "No one in the Demon Slayer Corps has mastered this realm. Do you know who has mastered this [Transparent World]?"

"Of course." Ichimaru Gin said with a smile, "I won't tell you if I don't know."

"That's great! Whoever reaches this level, I will become his disciple!" Rengoku Kyojuro said with a clenched fist.

"Don't be impatient." Ichimaru Gin held up a finger. "I don't know if anyone on the demon side has mastered it, but Upper Rank Two and Upper Rank Three probably haven't mastered it. From this point of view, Upper Rank Four, Five, and Six probably haven't mastered it either. The question is whether Upper Rank One has mastered it."

Although he knew that one of the Upper Ranks had reached this level, he was not prepared to say something he had not experienced: "As for the human side, the person who created the initial breathing method has undoubtedly mastered this level."

"oh oh--"

"As for modern times, I don't know who is still alive and has mastered this realm. All the people I know are dead. I only know who has come into contact with people who have mastered this realm."

"who is it!?"

"Tanjiro Kamado."

"So that's it, it's that boy!" Rengoku Kyojuro nodded, "As expected, there is a strange attraction in him! Not long after he joined the team, he met Muzan Kibutsuji and the Twelve Kizuki. This time, he met the Upper Three, perhaps because he was by his side! And he also knows someone who has mastered the [Transparent World]! He might be the key!"

"The key point that pulls the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons together in the great war may be this boy!"

"It's a pity that the person he knew who mastered the [Transparent World] was his father, and this person is dead, died of illness." Ichimaru Gin said: "What a pity~"

"No, this result is much better than I thought!" Rengoku Kyojuro's voice was filled with fearless optimism: "Since it is his father who has mastered the transparent world, even if he doesn't know much, he must have that figure in his mind in his daily life. With this standard, I will definitely be able to master the transparent world!"

Chapter 28 Four Months Later

Chapter 28 Four Months Later

Rengoku Kyojuro did not leave in a hurry, but instead had a sparring match with Ichimaru Gin.

During the battle, Gin Ichimaru discovered that the strength he displayed was obviously a little stronger than when he fought against Upper Rank Three before. Although it was not much stronger and would not affect the battle situation between him and Upper Rank Three, it was indeed a little stronger.

Was it an improvement after the battle? Or was it because he didn't use his full strength when fighting Upper Three?

Gin Ichimaru thought about it and felt that both possibilities were possible.

It's easy to talk about progress after the battle, but it's also normal not to use one's full strength.

Rengoku Kyojuro is regarded as 'comprehensive' and 'all-round' in the Demon Slayer Corps, and he is able to take care of all aspects of every mission.

When fighting, it is natural to keep your eyes and ears open.

Unless he was dead, no ghost could kill people in front of him, but now he was still alive, so the outcome was obvious.

In the comics, when fighting with the Upper Three, he would take the time to remind Tanjiro Kamado not to be impulsive, so as to avoid his wounds from opening.

He is such a well-rounded person. Because he is strong, he protects the weak even at the cost of his life.

That is why it is difficult for him to exert his full strength when fighting against ghosts. Because there are other people around, he will always devote some of his energy to protecting others, no matter how strong the ghost in front of him is or whether his own life is threatened.

It's not that he didn't use his full strength, but he distributed some of it to other places.

This would naturally not be the case during a sparring match, as the two of them are sparring and there is no one else around who needs his protection, so Rengoku Kyojuro will put all his energy into the battle, and his performance will naturally be better.

Although he is not as strong as Gojo Satoru, Rengoku Kyojuro is also at his strongest when he is alone.

"As expected of Ichimaru, your swordsmanship is superb!" Rengoku Kyojuro put the broken blade aside and said, "Thank you! Now I have found a way to defeat Akaza. All I have to do next is work hard!"

"This is the end~"

The source points increased by two points again. This is probably because the way was pointed out to Rengoku Kyojuro. If he really mastered the transparent world and defeated the Upper Three with his own strength, some more source points would be added, right?

After saying goodbye to Rengoku Kyojuro, Ichimaru Gin had nothing to do for the time being. Or it could be said that he was almost always in a state of having nothing to do.

The way to increase the unlocking level of the character card of 'Ichimaru Gin' is relatively 'Buddhist', while Muzan Kibutsuji has been missing for a long time and he is good at playing hide-and-seek.

“There’s no way I can go over there and take a look.”

When he has nothing to do recently, he doesn't stay in the Butterfly House all the time, but goes for walks in other places, mainly quietly following behind one person, Inayu Shinogaki.

He hasn't turned into a ghost yet, but as long as he doesn't make any major changes, it's only a matter of time, right?

And as long as I follow behind him, I can prevent Inadama Inoue from becoming a demon and instead let him become a 'Demon Slayer Corps swordsman who sacrificed his life fighting demons'. This is considered a big change, right?

After completing this step, you can also encounter one of the Upper Ranks and defeat him before the final battle.

He is not Muzan Kibutsuji and does not have such strong escape ability.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, four months have passed since the Infinity Train incident.

During this time, when Gin Ichimaru had nothing to do, he would follow Inadama Inoue or practice Sun Breathing. Relying on the spiritual pressure to heal his body, he had made great progress, but he was still unable to fully perform all the sword forms of Sun Breathing without using the character card.

Ichimaru Gin estimated that once he could wield all sword forms without using character cards, he would have mastered the basics of Sun Breathing, and it would be about time for him to activate the markings.

According to the comics, the prerequisite for activating the stripes is that the pulse rate exceeds 200 and the body temperature exceeds 39 degrees. Being able to survive in this situation is the condition for activation.

Once the Sun Breathing is used, the body temperature will continue to rise and the pulse will continue to accelerate. Now Ichimaru Gin's body temperature is almost reaching 39 degrees, but even so, he still can't continuously use the twelfth form of Sun Breathing.

As far as he knew, in the comics, Tanjiro Kamado was unable to perform the Sun Breathing sword form several times even when his normal body temperature was maintained at 38 degrees, so he felt that his judgment should be correct.

The entry symbol of Sun Breathing is "spotted patterns", the advanced symbol is "transparent world", and the ultimate symbol should be to crush 1,500 pieces of meat before Muzan Kibutsuji turns into meat and escapes.

The breathing method created by Yuichiro Tsuchikuni is indeed incredibly difficult to practice.

From this point of view, Tanjiro Kamado's father, Tanjuro Kamado, should be as powerful as one of the Upper Moons, and may even be stronger than Muzan Kibutsuji. It's a pity that he died early.
