Kokushibo could never have imagined that Kocho Shinobu would use such an extreme method to break his sword skills. Seeing that the invisible sword energy had been contaminated by blood, Kokushibo immediately retracted the sword energy. The blood of Kocho Shinobu that had originally remained on the sword energy had no support and naturally dripped onto the ground.

Seeing this, Kocho Shinobu was not discouraged and waved her injured left hand again. At the same time, she activated the Earth Breathing Technique's Leakage, controlling the blood in her body to spray evenly around. The blood beads in the sky turned into a scarlet blood mist, covering the surrounding space.

Being in the blood mist, any invisible blade cannot hide its tracks. Shinobu Kocho kept moving forward in the blood mist. In a blink of an eye, her colorful butterfly feather woven with blood was covered with blood. In the hazy scarlet mist, she looked both evil and enchanting. Shinobu Kocho herself also became beautiful and strange in the blood mist, and even looked more like a ghost than the opposite Kokushibo.

Shinobu Kocho's steps became lighter and lighter. As she performed the Star Breathing Technique, the surrounding water vapor and blood mist condensed and transformed into a blood-colored Black Tortoise. The two violent heads of the turtle and snake carried scarlet blood, dyeing the ice crystals around Kokushibo into a blood moon.

Seeing Kocho Shinobu's almost desperate fighting style, Kokushibo did not retreat even a step. Even though the invisible blade had lost its invisible and formless advantage, the long sword in his hand still wielded the moonlight sword energy and slashed at Kocho Shinobu. The huge blood-colored black tortoise was directly split into two by the moonlight long sword, but Kocho Shinobu took advantage of the situation to avoid Kokushibo's slash and slashed at Kokushibo's neck with the sun blade in his hand.

Stab it!

The two figures passed each other.

Tanjiro Kamado and Sakonji Urokodaki on the side saw Shinobu Kocho fall to the ground with a thud. The Kocho haori, which was covered with blood mist, was instantly covered with dust and blood. Shinobu Kocho's originally rosy face turned pale due to excessive blood loss. Her body trembled uncontrollably. It was obvious that she could no longer hold on, and she could only collapse weakly on the ground.

However, due to the blessing of the Leakage-free Pass, Shinobu Kocho was able to perfectly control her body, and the wound on her hand no longer bled, so her life was not in danger. Seeing this, Tanjiro and Urokodaki Sakonji came to Shinobu Kocho and checked her injuries. After confirming that there was no danger, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Behind Shinobu Kocho, there was a clear blood mark on Kokushibo's neck, which surrounded the entire neck. It was obvious that Shinobu Kocho's sword had already beheaded Kokushibo.

As the most powerful demon in the world, Kokushibo would not die from this beheading. Everyone saw that the bloodstain on his neck did not even shed a few drops of blood, and it recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Obviously, even if a lot of vitality was consumed, Kokushibo could not be killed with just one or two cuts.

At this time, Kocho Shinobu was too exhausted to fight again. However, as a demon, Kokushibo had no exhaustion problem and his strength remained at its peak. So from the perspective of the battle, Kokushibo should have won this battle.

But if we look at it from the perspective of a pure duel, although Kocho Shinobu was over-exhausted, Kokushibo was beheaded by the opponent. The reason why Kokushibo can still maintain his peak state is because he is a demon. If he and Kocho Shinobu were both human and fought in a purely fair way, Kocho Shinobu should be the winner.

All in all, the outcome of this battle is really difficult to judge.

However, in Kokushibo's heart, he lost the battle after all, because the result of this battle reminded Kokushibo of his last battle with Tsugikoku Yoriichi. At that time, Tsugikoku Yoriichi was the same as Kocho Shinobu, although he was stronger, but his body was already old and decayed. Even though the result of the last battle was that Kokushibo killed Tsugikoku Yoriichi, Kokushibo never felt that he had won.

While Kokushibo was immersed in his memories, Shinobu Kocho asked:

"What was that sword skill that created the invisible sword energy just now?"

Hearing this question, Kokushibo said casually:

"Breathing of the Moon, Form 19, Lunar Eclipse."

Lunar eclipse?

Just like the moon in the sky is covered by the shadow of the earth, this sword skill can also hide the traces of the sword energy, making the sword edge invisible and formless, lawless and impermanent, invisible and intangible, but it can actually attack the opponent. Such an attack is really weird and unpredictable.

"Great!" Shinobu Kocho exclaimed:

"In the Moon Breathing Technique I deduced, the ultimate Moon Breathing Technique is only the eighteenth form of Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto. I didn't expect that you could create the even stronger nineteenth form after taking Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto one step further. Your current strength is definitely not inferior to that of Yoriichi Tsugakuni when he was twenty years old."

"Twenty years old?" Hearing what Kocho Shinobu said, Kokushibo asked in confusion:

"You mentioned Tsugakuni Yoriichi's age on purpose. In your opinion, there is still a gap between me now and Tsugakuni Yoriichi in his prime?"

"It's natural!"

As she said this, a sly smile appeared on Shinobu Kocho's lips.

This is a habit that only appeared after she merged with Tamamonomae. Whenever she has some bad intentions, she can't help but reveal a fox-like cunning smile at the corner of her mouth. Tanjiro, who is standing by, sees this and knows that Kocho Shinobu is plotting against Kokushibo. After all, in the past few months of getting along, Kocho Shinobu would reveal such a smile every time she teased him.

And Shinobu Kocho really did what Tanjiro thought, she really wanted to plot against Kokushibo. After all, she was already seriously injured at this time, and Tanjiro and Urokodaki Sakonji beside her were no match for Kokushibo. If they didn't find a way to divert Kokushibo's attention, the three of them might die here today.

"Do you know how strong Yoriichi Tsugumi was in his prime?" Kokushibo asked again.

In fact, even though he was Tsugakuni Yoriichi's elder brother, Kokushibo had never seen his younger brother's strength in his prime. After all, not long after he joined the Demon Slayer Corps, he became a demon in order to get rid of the influence of the stripes. After that, he had no contact with Tsugakuni Yoriichi for a long time. It was not until Tsugakuni Yoriichi was very old that he saw his younger brother for the last time.

Then in the last scene, Tsugikoku Yoriichi, who was so old that he could hardly walk, actually had the strength to defeat him. This shows that in the decades since Kokushibo and Tsugikoku Yoriichi were separated, Tsugikoku Yoriichi's strength must have improved. The strength of his younger brother in his prime was definitely stronger than he imagined.

In response to Kokushibo's question, Shinobu Kocho chuckled and said:

"Do you know Arisugawa?"

Black Death thought:

"As far as I know, it is a river around the old capital. One of the branches of the royal family, Arisugawa Palace, got the surname Arisugawa because of this river."

"Not bad." Kocho Shinobu nodded and said:

"Then did you know that the Arisu River has a special tributary?"

"A special tributary?" Kokushibo asked puzzledly:

"When you say special, do you mean this branch is related to the royal family?"

"Of course not." Kocho Shinobu said:

"When I say special, I mean this branch was created by one person using sword skills!"

what?

Upon hearing the news, not only Kokushibo, but also Tanjiro and Urokodaki Sakonji beside Shinobu Kocho were shocked.

"How is this possible? How can a human swordsman create a river with his sword skills?!"

Kokushibo's face was full of disbelief at first, but then he said:

"Wait, it's possible. If it's him, it's possible. Because that person, because Tsugakuni Yoriichi always does things that ordinary people can't do!"

As he said this, Kokushibo rushed to Kocho Shinobu impatiently. After easily knocking Tanjiro and Urokodaki Sakonji away, he picked up Kocho Shinobu and said:

"Quick, take me to the Arisu River and point out that tributary."

Shinobu Kocho was short and looked like a child in Kokushibo's hands. But seeing the enthusiasm on Kokushibo's face, Shinobu Kocho became more and more proud, because she knew that her plan had worked. No matter what the result of this trip to the Arisugawa River was, at least Tanjiro and Urokodaki Sakonji's lives were saved.

So Kokushibo immediately carried Kocho Shinobu and ran towards the Arisugawa, leaving only Tanjiro and Urokodaki Sakonji at Sagiri Mountain looking into the distance worriedly, praying that Kocho Shinobu would not fall into the hands of Kokushibo.

After these two people, they went to the old capital beside the Arisu River.

The clear river water flows slowly, and under the hazy moonlight, the sand and stones in the river water are looming, and the reflected starlight makes the river look like a dream. There are a few scattered farmhouses beside the river, and a stone bridge crosses the river.

The Arisugawa River is a large river that meanders through many areas and is one of the important water veins in the area. At that time, a branch of the royal family was sealed on the plain next to the Arisugawa River, living next to the Arisugawa River, so this branch was called the Arisugawa Palace. The leader of this branch was Prince Arisugawa Palace, who was possessed by Xu Fu.

At this time, beside the river, the slightly pale-faced Kocho Shinobu, wearing a butterfly haori and with a purple butterfly hair ornament fluttering in the wind, was walking along the Arisu River. Behind her, was Kokushibo, who was looking around. He carefully looked at the surrounding tributaries, looking for traces left by his brother.

Finally, Kocho Shinobu stopped and said to Kokushibo behind her:

"We're here."

Hearing this, Kokushibo stopped and looked around. He saw that the winding Arisu River in front of him suddenly split into a straight tributary. The tributary looked very deep, carrying the water of the Arisu River all the way forward, like a sword mark slashing on the flat land. In the end, it rushed directly into the mountains and fell into the lake.

Such a tributary seemed out of place no matter how one looked at it. When Kokushibo saw it, he felt a sense of familiarity.

It’s him, it’s Yoriichi Tsugakuni’s sword skills!

Just as Kokushibo was surprised by this tributary, Shinobu Kocho beside him began to introduce the origin of this tributary to him.

"A few hundred years ago during the Warring States Period, a world-shattering war broke out here! This trace was left by Senior Tsugumi Yuichiro during the war."

"There were wars every day during the Warring States Period, and the majesty of the Sky Locusts is no longer worth mentioning. Even if this is the place of the royal family, it is not surprising that wars break out." Kokushibo was born a Warring States samurai and knows much more about the Warring States Period than Shinobu Kocho.

"But with Yuichiro's personality, it's impossible for him to participate in the war. How could he leave any traces on the battlefield?"

"Indeed, ordinary wars will naturally not interest Senior Tsugikoku Yoshiichi. But if someone formed an army of demons and wanted to conquer the world with a dark and undead army of 10,000 evil demons, do you think Senior Tsugikoku Yoshiichi would just leave it alone?"

"One, ten thousand evil spirits?"

Chapter 170: Breathing of the Sun - Form - Amaterasu

"Ten thousand ghosts, even if it's Yoriichi, it's still..."

Having been on the battlefield and faced thousands of troops, Kokushibo deeply understands how terrifying the army is. It is said that when there are more than ten thousand people, they are boundless. The power of ten thousand people can never be matched by one person.

Apart from anything else, even though Kokushibo has now turned into a demon and is not afraid of physical injuries, he would not dare to confront an army of tens of thousands, because the enemy could wear him down with numbers alone.

In ancient wars, wars involving more than 10,000 people were rare. If one side could really gather tens of thousands of people, even if it was an untrained mob, it would not be something that one or two people could fight against.

Because the only one who can be the enemy of the army is the army!

This is an iron rule that Kokushibo, who has participated in wars as a samurai, understands deeply.

However, when he thought that the person was Tsugumi Yoriichi, Kokushibo felt in his heart that this iron rule might not be impossible to break.

Just because in Kokushibo's eyes, Tsugaru Yoshiichi is a god walking on earth!

Ji Guoyuan was born with a power that ordinary people cannot obtain.

The evil spirits that ordinary people cannot defeat are just like ants in his eyes.

Things that ordinary people cannot do, Yuichiro Tsugikuni can often do easily.

Because he is Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the Demon Slayer swordsman who has caused him hundreds of years of pain, the peak he has been pursuing for hundreds of years but is still far from reaching, and the younger brother he never wants to face.

"What you just said, is it true?"

At this time, Kokushibo only wanted to know news about Yoriichi.

He just wanted to know whether his brother had really created a miracle.

The strength of one person can match that of an army of ten thousand!

Then I heard Kocho Shinobu continue:

"In the Warring States Period hundreds of years ago, the royal family lost power and crawled in the imperial palace in the Johto region like a humble old dog. Because of this, an evil ghost named Xu Fu took advantage of the situation and possessed the body of that generation of locusts. Then, with the help of his royal identity, he began to plan for his ambitions."

"Xu Fu?" Hearing this name, Kokushibo was stunned, and then said:

"Is this Xu Fu you are talking about the sorcerer in the Shenzhou legend?"

"Not bad." said Shinobu Kocho.

"More than that, he is also the founder of our country's civilization and the true creator of the breathing method. Even the existence of Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Kibutsuji Muzan is related to him."

Hearing the stories about Xu Fu from Shinobu Kocho, even Kokushibo was stunned. He couldn't imagine that the country he lived in was founded by a demon, and this demon had been hiding in the shadow of history. Muzan Kibutsuji and his brother all had such powerful powers because of him.

"If what you said is true, then why does Xu Fu choose to hide now? With his ability, he can blatantly possess the body of the sky locust and seize power in this country!" Kokushibo asked again.

Upon hearing this, Kocho Shinobu explained:

"Because of Tsugikoku Yoriichi!"

"Does this have anything to do with Yoriichi?"

Kocho Shinobu smiled slightly when she heard this and continued:

"Hundreds of years ago, Xu Fu possessed the body of a locust and wanted to form an army in the identity of a locust to unify the world. But the royal family at that time did not have much money or food, so how could they organize an army? So, instigated by his ambition, Xu Fuli used his ghost-related technology to turn tens of thousands of people into ghosts and formed a ghost army that could act at night!"

Is that so?

After hearing this, Kokushibo finally understood why Tsugikoku Yoriichi would fight against an army of tens of thousands.

As a twin brother, Kokushibo knows his younger brother very well.

In the Warring States Period, twins were a bad omen, and his brother had stripes on his head, so even though he was born into a samurai family, Tsugikoku Yoriichi did not receive an orthodox samurai education. Even his basic education was done by his mother. Growing up like this, Tsugikoku Yoriichi naturally did not have the loyalty of many samurai to the royal family.

If he knew that the royal family was raising evil spirits, even if the other party was raising an army of evil spirits, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi would definitely charge forward without hesitation.

Just because he is Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who is born to kill evil spirits.

Not to mention that Xu Fu has been secretly manipulating the history of this country, and even Ji Guoyuanyi is the product of his experiment. Facing such an evil ghost, even if Ji Guoyuanyi knows that he is not strong enough, he will resolutely choose to draw his sword.

"So, it was here that Yoriichi confronted an army of 10,000 people. And the leader of that army was Xu Fu, who was even countless times more powerful than Muzan Kibutsuji?"

At this time, Kokushibo's strength was far superior to Muzan Kibutsuji, so he could naturally mention Muzan Kibutsuji's name casually.

As he spoke, Kokushibo's scarlet eyes widened, as if he was going through hundreds of years and returning to that battlefield to witness a thrilling fight between one man and ten thousand demons!

Suddenly, he felt that the distance between him and Yoriichi had become closer. It was as if he was there in person, as if he had crossed the barrier of time and saw Yoriichi Tsugikoku from hundreds of years ago.

Under the dim starry sky, a figure was seen standing next to Arisugawa.

Against the backdrop of the waves, he held a scarlet sun blade in his hand, his long scarlet hair and red haori swayed in the wind, and the iconic sunrise earrings on his ears revealed his identity.

That's Yuichiro Tsugikoku!

He is his younger brother and also the nightmare of his life.

Although it was a figure from behind, Kokushibo was sure that he was not mistaken, because he had been chasing this figure from behind for hundreds of years!

Opposite him, on the other side of the Arisu River, there was a group of soldiers ready to go.

They were lined up in neat rows, their military appearance was neat and tidy. In the middle, the infantry holding large shields kept approaching, and on both sides, the cavalry on horseback were ready to outflank at any time. The soldiers were all wearing fine iron armor, and the spears and swords in their hands were excellent. At the rear of the army, there were more soldiers with bows and arrows, and the arrows were pointed at the direction of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi.

Elite!

After all, he was a samurai who had fought in the battlefield. Kokushibo's first reaction when he saw this army was that this army should not be underestimated.

After that, he noticed that the army had a strange aura, and when he saw that every soldier in the army had scarlet eyes, Kokushibo knew immediately that this was the demon army that Shinobu Kocho had mentioned. It was the force that Xu Fu had formed to help him realize his ambitions.
