But the exchange between the two ended there. While Hayakawa Kouye was joking, the long sword in her hand also carried the sword energy like petals, and killed in front of Kocho Shinobu. Seeing this, Kocho Shinobu quietly unsheathed the Sun Blade in her hand, and the whole person turned into a starlight and left, and in the blink of an eye, she had already cut off Hayakawa Kouye's head.
"Amazing!"
After recovering, Hayakawa Hongye immediately boasted about Kocho Shinobu's strength. Just when she wanted to continue fighting Kocho Shinobu, the Snake Pillar Iguro Obanai stood up.
"Leave this to me, Senior!"
Seeing this, everyone naturally continued to move forward, leaving only Iguro Obanai, with her face covered in bandages, to struggle with Hayakawa Momiji.
Because they met Demon Slayer Corps seniors one after another along the way, only four people were left in the group: Kocho Shinobu, Fushigawa Saneya, Rengoku Kyojuro and Beimingyu Gyomei. Just when everyone was worried that they would continue to meet other seniors, Prince Arisugawa's residence finally appeared in front of everyone.
Although the imperial bedroom was not as luxurious as the Emperor's bedroom, it was equally magnificent with carved beams and painted rafters. Inside the spacious room was a huge Western-style bed, and around the bed there were many maids serving the Emperor to go to bed.
After the four people broke in, the maids and the guards at the door wanted to drive them out, but these people were just ordinary people after all, how could they be their opponents? The two of them attacked together, and these people were easily knocked unconscious by the knockout drug, leaving only an ugly short man sitting on the bed, looking at the two with interest.
Seeing this ugly little man, Tamamonomae couldn't help but sneer:
"I've heard that all the royal family members are ugly, and today I see that they are indeed extraordinary. After all, you are a prince of a country, how come you look like a mouse?"
Fushigawa Saneya and the other three were also very disappointed when they saw Prince Arisugawamiya's appearance.
Who could have imagined that a country's royal family could be so ugly, and that such an ugly person could be the next generation of locusts?
Looking at Prince Arisugawa like this, the same words appeared in the minds of the four people present:
I hope you don’t look like a human being!
Just as everyone was amazed at the appearance of Prince Arisugawa, Shinobu Kocho suddenly became nervous and reminded everyone:
"Be careful!"
As she spoke, she relied on the clones she left on Musashi and the others to control the three of them to retreat with her. Just as everyone retreated, a thunderous sound suddenly came from the sky.
At this moment, in the cloudy sky outside, a thick lightning bolt as big as a bowl suddenly fell, which directly broke through the bedroom of Prince Arisugawamiya and blasted a deep pit where everyone was standing.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide, secretly thinking that they were lucky. Fortunately, Kocho Shinobu reacted in time, otherwise everyone would have turned into ashes under the thunder.
Seeing that Xu Fu could actually control the celestial phenomena and even attack himself and others through thunder, Kocho Shinobu exclaimed:
"Is this the true power of Heaven's Breathing?"
Chapter 179 Battle of the Imperial Palace
After a thunderclap, the short and ugly Prince Arisugawamiya sat up. Looking at the Demon Slayers rushing towards him, there was no surprise on his face, but a little doubt:
"I did think that your Demon Slayer Corps would join forces with the current generation of Heavenly Locusts to turn against me. But what I don't understand is why you got here so quickly? You must know that every generation of Heavenly Locusts has been guarded by the Great Tengu, the leader of the three great demons. The Great Tengu is extremely powerful, and even I am very afraid of him. Logically speaking, your Demon Slayer Corps should be fighting the Great Tengu now."
It turns out that Xu Fu, who was possessed by Prince Arisugawa, knew exactly what the Demon Slayer Corps was thinking.
He knew that the Demon Slayer Corps wanted to kill him more than the current generation of Heavenly Locusts. So from the beginning, Xu Fu's goal was not to use the Demon Slayer Corps to kill Heavenly Locusts, but to use the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps to deal with the Great Tengu. As long as the Great Tengu who guarded the royal family died in the hands of the Demon Slayer Corps, he could use this to control the royal family and become the next generation of Heavenly Locusts.
However, what Xu Fu did not expect was that the Demon Slayer Corps who sneaked into the Imperial Palace did not encounter the contemporary Heavenly Locust or the Great Tengu. After sneaking into the Imperial Palace, the Demon Slayer Corps came to Xu Fu easily as if they were in an empty space. This naturally made Xu Fu feel abnormal.
No matter how abnormal it felt, Xu Fu knew that the top priority now was to kill the Demon Slayer Corps in front of him.
After all, among the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Shinobu Kocho alone is not easy to deal with. And the two people following Shinobu Kocho, Gyoumei Hitoshi and Shimizu Fushigawa, are also top-notch experts in the Demon Slayer Corps. Facing these experts in the Demon Slayer Corps, even a thousand-year-old demon like Xu Fu must be careful.
After hearing what Kocho Shinobu said about the "Heavenly Breathing Technique", the Demon Slayers all became more alert. In their hearts, Fuzugawa Shinobu and the others recalled Kocho Shinobu's description of the Heavenly Breathing Technique:
The Shenzhou Dao sect emphasizes the unity of man and nature, and believes that man is also part of the universe, no different from the myriad things in the universe. It is just that the shackles of the acquired nature separate man from the world, making it impossible for humans to reach the innate state of unity of man and nature. Therefore, all practitioners want to break free from the cage, return to nature, and become one with the universe.
Once you reach this state, the power of the world, whether it is landslides, tsunamis, lightning or thunder, can be used by you. At that time, you will naturally be invincible in the world, and you can make the law come true with your words. You can make the law of the world with one word, which is no worse than the sacred immortals and Buddhas.
The Heavenly Breathing Method is based on this idea, pursuing the unity of heaven and man, and the transformation of all things. The Heavenly Breathing is the Human Breathing, and the Human Breathing mobilizes the Heavenly Breathing. Once this breathing method is mastered, one can create natural disasters, mobilize the power of nature, and kill all powerful enemies by opening one's mouth.
While everyone was thinking about this, Xu Fu, who was controlling the body of Prince Arisugawa, said:
"Forget it, what about Daitengu? What about you Demon Slayer Corps? Now that I have mastered the Heavenly Breathing Technique to its fullest extent, even if those two old monsters Li Shimin and Judas come back to life, they can't do anything to me!"
As soon as Xu Fu finished speaking, Fushigawa Shima began to use the Wind Breathing Technique, and the Sun Blade in his hand instantly slashed in front of him. But at this moment, an invisible barrier appeared in front of Xu Fu. Fushigawa Shima's Sun Blade was just halfway through, and it was as if it had pierced an indestructible mountain. After a violent collision, the Sun Blade was stuck in mid-air and could not move forward an inch.
"Breathing of the Sky, Second Form, Summoning the Wind of Heaven."
Xu Fu said lightly.
It turned out that he had used the Heaven's Breathing Technique to condense the surrounding air into an invisible barrier. The barrier he created was so strong that even Musashi Musashi, whose strength was comparable to that of the Upper Rank One, could not break through it.
What a great Heavenly Breathing Technique!
Seeing that Xu Fu did not move and easily resisted the attack of Rengoku Makijuro, Shinobu Kocho seemed to see the former Li Shimin in a trance.
The former first emperor of Shenzhou was just like Xu Fu now, completely motionless, and easily dispelled all his attacks. The twelve-story five-city star pagoda was invulnerable to all attacks, and it could kill evil and ward off evil, making it almost invincible.
When Fushigawa Shima saw that his full-strength attack was easily dispelled by Xu Fu in mid-air, he could not hide his surprise. But this surprise was fleeting, leaving only the determination he had never had before. The blade of the Nichirin Sword in his hand suddenly disappeared, and his right hand holding the handle turned slightly, and a blood mark immediately appeared on Xu Fu's neck.
How can this be?
"Go to hell!"
Under Xu Fu's surprised gaze, the space and time around the Sun Blade in Fushigawa Shiya's hand was distorted. The Sun Blade, which was originally blocked by the Heaven's Breathing Technique, now traveled through time and space and suddenly appeared at Xu Fu's neck. The barrier created by the Heaven's Breathing Technique was actually broken by Fushigawa Shiya!
"Well, you are the first swordsman who can threaten me besides Yoriichi Tsugakuni!"
As Xu Fu roared, a turbulent airflow instantly emanated from the surroundings. The room, which had already been hit by the thunder, became even more chaotic. Seeing that he was about to be beheaded by the strange breathing method of Mushikawa Shiya, Xu Fu suddenly stretched out his right hand.
Instantly, countless air currents in the air hit the body of Jigokudani, trying to smash Jigokudani's flesh and blood into pieces. Seeing this, Kocho Shinobu on the side hurriedly used the Star Breathing Technique to block Xu Fu's attack, thus preventing Jigokudani from being killed on the spot by Xu Fu.
Finally, the storm gradually dissipated, and the room had already become a mess. The ground and walls were covered with pits and scars. Fuzugawa Shiya also collapsed on the ground, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured. Even Kocho Shinobu in front of him had messy hair and looked very embarrassed.
Xu Fu looked at the bloodstain on his neck and said to Busikawa Saneya with a fearful look:
"What kind of move is this?"
"This is the breathing method I created, the breathing method of the sky. The sword strike just now was the first form of the breathing method of the sky, the cutting sword!"
"Air Breathing Technique? Sword Technique that distorts space?" Xu Fu asked in surprise:
"Impossible? The breathing method I created can actually distort time and space? Why don't I know this?"
Hearing Xu Fu's surprise, Busikawa Shima said proudly:
"There are still many things you don't know! If you knew everything, how could you have been beaten and fled by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi-senpai, who used the breathing method you created? How does it feel to be hit hard by the moves you created several times in a row? "
Hearing what Fuzugawa Shima said, Xu Fu was naturally furious. He roared:
"Breaking into my bedroom and disturbing my rest is a capital crime punishable by the extermination of all your clans. And now you are actually showing me such an ugly face! Fushigawa Saneya, your sins are so monstrous that they are beyond measure. I will punish you here with the most severe punishment from heaven!"
In his anger, Xu Fu subconsciously regarded himself as the emperor, and kept saying words like "I" and "kill all nine clans".
"Breathing of the Sky, Form Three, Summoning Heavenly Fire!"
As Xu Fu shouted, the entire palace was immediately engulfed in flames, turning everything around into a fiery hell. A gorgeous red bird flew out of the flames, carrying a high temperature that was hot enough to change color, and rushed towards Lian Fushigawa Shimizu. If he was hit by such an attack, Shimizu would be turned into ashes immediately.
Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho drew her Sun Blade, and clear snow lotuses immediately appeared around her. With the appearance of these snow lotuses, the originally extremely hot dormitory suddenly became chilly.
Breathing of Flowers·Type 8·Ice Soul and Snow Spirit!
Under the control of Kocho Shinobu, the snow lotuses turned into barriers, blocking the Suzaku bird. No matter how hot the flames on the Suzaku bird were, it was difficult to hurt Fuzugawa Shinobu behind Kocho Shinobu.
Seeing this, Xu Fu used the Heaven's Breathing Technique to summon strong winds. Suddenly, the fire helped the wind, and the wind helped the fire. The giant dragon formed by the storm carried blazing flames, blasting holes in the walls and ceiling of the dormitory, and continued to kill Kocho Shinobu.
Faced with Xu Fu's combination breathing method, Shinobu Kocho gripped the Sun Blade in her hand tighter and directly unleashed the strongest secret of the Flower Breathing Method.
Breathing of flowers·Type 18·Manjusaka·Higanbana blooms!
The scattered sword energy was like blooming petals, constantly drifting towards the surrounding space. The bedroom, which had already been riddled with holes due to the battle, could no longer withstand it. Under the attack of the sword energy, it collapsed directly.
The people who were fighting in the bedroom felt the danger and fled outside the bedroom. The maids and guards in the imperial palace also felt something was wrong with Tian Huang's bedroom, but they were just ordinary people after all and did not dare to approach. They could only watch from afar as Tian Huang's bedroom turned into a ruin.
Seeing that the nearby area had already turned into ruins, and in the center of the ruins, Kocho Shinobu was still confronting a fire dragon several tens of meters high, Fuzugawa Shima was about to step forward to help. However, just as he was about to take action, Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Pillar, took the lead and used the strongest secret of the Flame Breathing Technique to bring about a blazing flame in the ruins and rain, heading straight for Xu Fu's neck.
Facing Rengoku Kyojuro's full-strength sword, Xu Fu, who was still confronting Kocho Shinobu, couldn't help but secretly think that he was in trouble. At the moment, regardless of Kocho Shinobu's intention to cut off his fire dragon, Xu Fu pushed his hands towards Rengoku Kyojuro's position, and the surrounding rainwater turned into a ferocious black tortoise under his traction, trying to completely crush Rengoku Kyojuro's small flame.
"Be careful!"
Seeing that Rengoku Kyojuro was about to fall under the body of the black tortoise, Beimingyu Xingming immediately clasped his hands together, and a Buddha shadow appeared on his body, and he chanted:
"Breathing of the Earth, Form of the Land, Removing Obstacles, Divine Power!"
As the Earth Breathing Technique was performed, Beimingyu Xingmei's speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye he appeared next to Rengoku Kyojuro, helping him escape Xuanwu's attack.
"Thank you, Beimingyu-senpai."
As Rengoku Kyojuro said this, he saw that Shinobu Kocho and Minoru Busei were already killing Xu Fu from different directions with their Nichirin swords.
One of them used the Star Breathing Technique, and the other used the Sky Breathing Technique. Each of them was difficult to deal with. Even though Xu Fu was strong, he had just been held back by Rengoku Kyojuro, so it was naturally difficult for him to deal with the attack from Kocho Shinobu and Fuzugawa Shima. So after two sword flashes, Xu Fu's head was beheaded.
Did we defeat Xu Fu?
Everyone thought so as they looked at Xu Fu's head falling to the ground. But then, everyone saw Xu Fu's head turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared. The body of Prince Arisugawamiya, which Xu Fu occupied, also recovered in an instant, just like the predecessors of the Demon Slayer Corps before.
"Are you surprised?"
Looking at the surprised eyes of the crowd, Xu Fu said proudly:
"Because this is the Imperial Palace, and I am destined to become the Heavenly Locust of this country. This palace is where I am the only one in the world! In this Imperial Palace, I am invincible! Whether it is Li Shimin, the strongest in the East, or Judas, the strongest in the West, they are not my opponents!"
Seeing Xu Fu so confident that he didn't even take Li Shimin and Judas seriously, Shinobu Kocho immediately realized that something was wrong. So in order to verify her guess, Shinobu Kocho swung her Nichirin Sword again.
The water splashing all around her condensed in front of her and turned into a pure water-colored lotus. It was bright and flawless, about to bloom, reflecting all kinds of colors, looking both noble and sacred.
Breathing of flowers·Nine Type·Water Pendant and Wind Dress!
The lotus has water as its pendant and wind as its skirt. It emerges from clear water and is a noble being.
As a lotus in front of him bloomed, hundreds of beautiful water-colored lotuses appeared around Kocho Shinobu. Not only were they of different sizes, they also showed different brilliance. It was also because these lotuses condensed a lot of rainwater that the heavy rain around the palace was much smaller.
Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Xu Fu couldn't help but sigh:
"Another Flower Breathing Technique? I just don't understand. Didn't you, Shinobu Kocho, inherit Tamamonomae's legacy? With your current state, you should be able to perform a stronger breathing technique, right?"
Although Xu Fu's words were full of disdain, he actually knew the purpose of performing the Flower Breathing Technique.
Kocho Shinobu used the Flower Breathing Technique, which consumes less physical energy, to test Xu Fu. Once Xu Fu's background is figured out by her, Kocho Shinobu will immediately use the powerful breathing technique to completely kill Xu Fu.
Thinking of this, Xu Fu snorted coldly. Several giant flaming dragons flew out from his body and entangled with the water-colored lotus of Kocho Shinobu. At this moment, the fire shone in the rain, and the lotus blossomed in the flames. Water and fire, the two most extreme forces in the world, collided violently at this moment.
Such a battle was naturally full of dangers and murderous intent. If one was not careful, one might be burned to ashes by the flames or beaten into a sieve by the water. But even so, this battle did not have the slightest smell of fireworks and looked wonderful. From a distance, it looked like a carp swimming in a lotus pond, full of poetic and picturesque beauty.
At this moment, Beimingyu Xingming put his hands together, and the seals in his hands changed to form the Ruyi Seal.
Breath of earth·Shape of Four·Seal of Treasure·Telepathy!
At this time, the Treasure Seal Ksitigarbha blessed him, and the blind Beimingyu Xingming immediately mastered the telepathy among the six supernatural powers. In an instant, he understood what everyone was thinking, and combined with the news he just heard, he thought to himself that it was not good. With the help of the telepathy supernatural power, he directly connected with Kocho Shinobu's heart and said in her heart:
"Shinobu, be careful. Xufu has become one with the Imperial Palace!"
Chapter 180 Looking for Weaknesses
With the help of telepathy, Beimingyu Xingming said to Kocho Shinobu:
"Just now, I used his telepathic power to peek into Xu Fu's heart. I found that he is not just living in Prince Arisugawamiya. In fact, whether it is the Demon Slayer Corps senior who fought with us before or Prince Arisugawamiya who is fighting with you now, they are just his clones. His real body is not in anyone's body."
After hearing this, Kocho Shinobu was shocked and asked:
"Impossible? How can a mere clone have such powerful strength?"
The moves used by Shinobu Kocho and Xufu at this time were powerful enough to kill Muzan Kibutsuji in one second. But even such a powerful move was only a clone, how could Shinobu Kocho not be shocked.
Then I heard from the depths of my heart, Yu Xingming sighed:
"Just like the ghost that Kyojuro encountered before, which merged with the Infinite Train, Xufu also merged with something else. But unlike that ghost, Xufu merged with the entire Imperial Palace!"
what?
Shinobu Kocho was struck by lightning when she heard this.
No wonder this guy said that he was invincible in the Imperial Palace. Because he had already merged with the Imperial Palace! In his own body, he naturally had the confidence that he was invincible!
"When we stepped into this imperial palace, we actually entered the belly of an extremely huge evil spirit. Xu Fu used the imperial palace's bedroom as his head, the east and west palaces of the imperial palace as his hands, the wall guardrails of the imperial palace as his arms, and the gate of the imperial palace as his mouth."
"Do you see the giant dragon of fire still tumbling in the rain? The reason why it is not affected by the surrounding rain is because Xu Fu has mastered the rules of this imperial palace to a certain extent. In this imperial palace, he can do whatever he wants, even omnipotent! Even if frost appears in the fire and flames burn in the water, he can display them at will."
Hearing this, Kocho Shinobu understood the seriousness of the matter. Sensing that Kocho Shinobu was somewhat confused, Beimingyu Xingming reminded her:
"Shinobu, what you need to do now is stay calm. Even if it merges with the Imperial Palace, the demon is still a demon. As long as it is a demon, it has weaknesses. As long as we find the weakness, we can deal with it. Just like we usually cut off the neck of an evil demon, as long as we cut the weakness of the Imperial Palace in half, we may be able to successfully kill this evil demon."
Hearing this, Kocho Shinobu forced herself to calm down.
Now is not the time to be anxious. Only calm analysis can give the Demon Slayer Corps a chance of survival.
