Another reason for achieving this idea is that Tanjiro Kamado has opened the Mark. After practicing the Sun Breathing Technique to a certain level, the Mark will naturally be opened.

And now he could barely perform the twelve sword techniques of Sun Breathing one or two times in succession.

Although Rengoku Kyojuro did not open the mark, he opened the transparent world, but only once, and after that he would never be able to enter that realm again no matter what.

Now we are trying to find a way to turn this coincidence into a normal thing.

And then at this time - Butterfly House.

"That." Shinobu Kocho frowned slightly, but still had a smile on her face: "Although the Butterfly House does have some female members, they are not combatants, and most of them haven't touched a knife for several years. Even if they go with you, it won't be of any use, right?"

"We're just gathering information. It doesn't require any strength." [Sound Pillar] Tengen Uzui said as he sat opposite Shinobu Kocho.

In the original work, Shinobu Kocho was out at this time, so Tengen Uzui forcibly took a few people away to carry out the mission with him.

However, this time there is a little difference, because Shinobu Kocho has been studying her new sword type. This sword type that can kill demons with one blow still has some flaws even after four months, especially when facing the upper-rank demons, it is full of uncertainty.

So she did not leave Deui, and Uzui Tengen could not do anything around her.

"By the way, how about you come with me?" Uzui Tengen said with a smile: "I heard that you haven't left for almost half a year recently. Maybe your target this time is the Twelve Demon Moons."

"Forget it." Shinobu Kocho waved her hand. Without the order from her lord, she would absolutely not be willing to go out on a mission with this person!

At this time, Tanjiro Kamado and the other two returned from their mission.

Chapter 29: Upper String One

Chapter 29 Upper String 1

"This blood is very precious. Not even a drop can be wasted. If you dare to spill it on the ground, your head and body will be separated in the blood flowers all over the sky."

He has six eyes, and on the middle pair of eyes are the words [Upper Rank] and [One] respectively. This person is none other than Kokushibo, one of the Upper Ranks.

He looked at the member of the Demon Slayer Corps in front of him, trembling all over and opening his mouth to suck the blood in his hand. At this moment, a white light flashed.

"what----!"

The chest of the Demon Slayer Corps member in front of him was pierced directly. A blade appeared in front of his chest and continued to stab forward towards him.

Kokushibo jumped to the right and back to avoid the attack.

“It hurts. This. This is--?” ​​The Demon Slayer Corps member was trembling all over and wanted to put his hands on the blade in front of his chest, but it was too late. These were his last words.

Because at this moment, his head and body have been separated.

Kokushibo waved his hand slightly, and with the vibration of the knife, a trickle of blood dripped down. He first glanced at the body of the unknown Demon Slayer Corps member and said, "I told you, this blood will be with your head. No matter what happens, since you dare to spill it on the ground, you should be prepared to have your head chopped off."

That’s right, the head was not chopped off by the person in the distance, but by him, Kokushibo.

The moment he jumped to the right and back, he noticed that the Demon Slayer Corps member had his hands apart and was no longer holding blood because of the wound on his chest, so he jumped back and swung his sword to take off his head.

However, his attention was only on this member and he immediately looked away.

Because a monster appeared.

He who controls the transparent world has a broader vision than ordinary people. He can see how strong the body of the person walking over is, and the power hidden in that body that he cannot understand.

Kokushibo put his hand on the blade and thought to himself: 'What kind of ability is that?'

He had been curious ever since Muzan Kibutsuji described what he had seen, and the battle with Akaza made him even more interested in this power that he had never heard of or seen before.

At this moment, as the person in front of him walked towards him step by step, he felt a sense of gap in his heart.

The transparent world not only allows one to see through his opponents, but also through himself. He used this inexplicable vision to see the condition inside his own body.

There is a similar power deep in my brain.

However, this similar power was only resident in his brain, not throughout his body, as if this person's body was made of this power.

"I see, you are not human."

"How rude." Ichimaru Gin walked over with a smile: "If I'm not a human, what else can I be?"

"The dead, vengeful spirits, anyway, something similar." Kokushibo said to Gin Ichimaru, and at the same time he understood how the ghosts that Muzan Kibutsuji had previously told him died.

It's the soul.

The similar power in my mind must be the soul. If the soul is shattered, it will be useless no matter how much the body is regenerated.

It was already a walking corpse.

For example, if his arm is cut off, if he thinks in his heart that it will regenerate, the cut arm will regenerate almost instantly. But if he doesn't think so, the arm will remain cut off.

Once the soul is broken, it will naturally stop thinking, so death is normal.

But there is nothing to be afraid of. The fear comes from the beginning. As long as you know the whole story, there is nothing to be afraid of. It is the same as the Demon Slayer Corps, except that for other people in the Demon Slayer Corps, their weak point is the 'neck', while for this person, their weak point is the 'soul'.

the same.

Just don't get hit.

The problem still lies in strength, how strong is the person in front of him.

"How terrible, how terrible, but I just realized this situation when we met." Ichimaru Gin's smile paused slightly: "Is this the so-called highest realm? It's amazing. I should have asked Kyojuro to come over, but there's nothing I can do now."

hum-

The atmosphere has changed.

Kokushibo could feel a pressure coming from Gin Ichimaru. Even though he was standing still, the dust around him automatically dispersed from his body, and the soul deep in his brain also trembled.

He understood that it was personal oppression.

"I have almost reached the limit of my martial arts realm. No matter how hard I try over the past few hundred years, I have not gotten any closer to that man." Kokushibo thought to himself.

Hundreds of years have passed, and he has changed a lot compared to when he first became a ghost, but even so, he still feels so far away from that figure.

That person. What level has his younger brother, Yoriichi Tsugumi, reached?

The highest realm?

This kind of talk can only fool those who know nothing. The so-called highest realm is something that my brother mastered when he was very young. Maybe he mastered it when he was born. How can this be considered the highest realm! ?

And what level did that person's talent reach in the following years and decades?

The highest realm is the end for Kokushibo or for most beings, but it is just a starting point for that man.

The place where he was was so far away that even his back was blurry.

But now, perhaps there is a way to surpass that man from another direction.

Find ways to strengthen your soul.

He didn't say anything about turning this person into a ghost, because that was impossible. His six eyes knew it the moment they saw it.

The blade in his hand, made from his own bones and blood, directly transformed into its final form.

Breath of the Moon·Seventh Form of Evil Mirror·Moon Reflection

Countless crescent-shaped sword energies rushed towards Ichimaru Gin.

But in an instant - Kokushibo saw the movement of the muscles and soul power of the man in front of him. This movement made him disappear from his sight in an instant.

Kokushibo's heart moved, and his muscles and bones imitated this movement. The next moment, he disappeared from where he was.

"Ah?"

Ichimaru Gin, whose Zanpakutō stabbed into the air, now appeared behind the place where Kokushibo was before. Looking at Kokushibo who had instantly distanced himself from him, his smile faded a lot: "You learned it just by watching it once? Terrible, terrific. Should I say he is worthy of being one of the Upper Ranks?"

PS: I'm begging for recommendation votes, monthly tickets, collections, rewards, investments, likes, etc. I've just been promoted to the first recommended position, and the results will be very important this time. Please, please.

Chapter 30 Incompetent Fury

Chapter 30: Impotent Rage

Kokushibo took a look at his broken leg, but it recovered the next moment.

He was able to learn the steps of teleportation instantly because of the ghost's powerful control over the body, coupled with the transparent world he possessed.

It is only by combining these two points that this can be achieved.

but.

"When facing this man, it is best not to use this move." Kokushibo decided to temporarily seal this move. It was obvious that the man in front of him was not serious.

Otherwise, he would have revealed a fatal flaw.

"What is this move called?"

"Curious? Then I'll tell you, it's called Shunpo."

"Instant Step..."

This instant move could not be used. Although he completed the instant movement after using it just now, his leg was broken. Although it regenerated instantly, his body inevitably staggered because of the broken leg.

This situation is extremely fatal in combat.

If this person had really been serious just now, he could have used this instant step to appear in front of me when I was stumbling and pierce my soul with that blade.

In other words, he almost died just now.

"Unless you have to use it, don't use it against this person." Kokushibo sealed the skill of instant step.

I can't use my soul power, I can only rely on my body to use it, and the result is like that. But I can use this trick when facing members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Their speed is not that fast, which will be helpful at the critical moment.

"Then I'll play with you, Bankai—"

"God-killing gun."

The blade in his hand instantly crossed the distance between the two people. Under the Bankai, the distance between the two people will be reduced to zero, even without the God-killing Gun.

But I used it against Upper Rank Three, but now it's useless against Upper Rank One. What if it scares Muzan Kibutsuji? I might as well use it.

Although he couldn't use instant movement, Kokushibo's speed was very fast. He closed the distance between himself and Gin Ichimaru almost instantly.

When fighting with other people, he needs to keep a suitable distance, but when fighting with this person, close combat is the right way.

Therefore, he even kept the blade in his hand at a distance of one or two meters, which was the most suitable posture for recovery.

Breath of the Moon - Dark Moon - Palace of the Night

Breath of the Moon - Fifth Form of the Moon Spirit Disaster Vortex

As soon as the First Form was swung out, his eyes saw through Ichimaru Gin's muscles and spiritual pressure movements, and determined that he used Shunpo, so he immediately used the Fifth Form as a defense.

Sure enough, the next moment, the blade stabbed from behind, but was blocked by his sword skills.

Breath of the Moon·Sixth Form: Evernight Lone Moon·Infinity

In a breath, he turned around and slashed quickly towards the place where Ichimaru Gin was, and countless crescent-shaped sword energy spread over.

The six eyes moved left and right, allowing him to see a wider scene. He was always looking for and locating Ichimaru Gin's location. He breathed hard from his mouth, using the moon's breathing to strengthen his physical performance.

"Haha, that's amazing." Ichimaru Gin used two flash steps to distance himself from her: "Butoh--"

Clang.

The super-fast blade thrust broke the blade in Kokushibo's hand in an instant. When Kokushibo stretched out his hand to cover the extended blade, he suddenly found that the blade had disappeared.

“It’s a very fast extension speed, but—”

The blade in his hand regenerates just as fast.

Watching Ichimaru Gin's movements in the distance, he tilted his head to the right to avoid the attack aimed at his head. At the same time, the blade in his hand had recovered and was placed near his neck to block the downward swing of the blade of unknown length.

"Sure enough, the strongest force is when it is stretched, and it is almost impossible to resist, but after that, such force can still be blocked."

It was his first time fighting against an opponent who had mastered the transparent world, and this feeling made the smile on his face deepen.

The abilities of the god of death are mainly divided into slash, white, ghost, and walk.

The character card 'Ichimaru Gin' has balanced abilities in all four areas. According to the official book, Ichimaru Gin's attack, defense, mobility, Kidō/Reiatsu, intelligence, and stamina are all 80 points (out of 100), a perfect hexagonal warrior.

Of course, using Kidō is no problem, but now facing one of the Upper Moons using Kidō, Muzan Kibutsuji, he would be so scared that he wouldn't dare to come out.

"It is better to use the three techniques of cutting, white, and walking to end the battle."

Kokushibo clenched the blade in his hand, and the aura of the soul suddenly became stronger.

Then the person in front of me disappeared.

"Flash step?"
