"Although the full moon in the sky is very beautiful, the stones from the moon, such as the Tranquility Sea Stone, are not beautiful at all. The reserves of these stones in the earth are very small, often only a few centimeters in size. But such stones, which are only a few centimeters in size, are terribly poisonous. Once ordinary people come into physical contact with these stones, they will become ghosts!"

"Their bodies will undergo various deformations, their original bodily functions will gradually fail, and they will eventually die in agony while wailing."

As Kokushibo listened to Hotaru Tetsuzuka's story, he was impressed by the magic of creation. A mere piece of stone could have such magical power, and at the same time, he had a strange sense of déjà vu. He suddenly felt that the distortion caused by this kind of stone seemed to have been seen somewhere before.

As if sensing Kokushibo's doubts, Hotaru Kotsuzuka said:

"Back then, the Ubuyashiki family relied on this stone to transform their descendants. This gave rise to evil spirits like Muzan Kibutsuji, who also had intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary people. It was also because of this stone that the Ubuyashiki family had a deformity that was passed down from generation to generation, and basically no one lived past the age of thirty."

So that's how it is. Kokushibo finally understood the origin of this distortion. At the same time, his interest in the Tranquility Stone became more and more intense. He had a feeling that with the help of the Tranquility Stone, he would be able to obtain an unprecedented famous sword that would allow him to surpass the famous sword of Tsugikoku Yoriichi.

During this conversation, the two of them headed eastward to the former residence of the Ubuyashiki clan.

It was also during this journey that they saw that almost everyone in the country, from the top to the common people, rejected the Demon Slayer Corps. The bodies of some members of the Demon Slayer Corps were hung high up, and many members of the Demon Slayer Corps who were powerless were even dead on the spot.

Watching these tragic scenes, Hotaru Tetsutsuka's anger grew even more intense, and Kokushibo shook his head and said:

"It's a pity that the Demon Slayer Corps fought desperately to protect ordinary people, but in the end, ordinary people are only willing to believe those high-ranking man-eating demons, but not these swordsmen who protected them with their lives. How sad!"

Chapter 185 Sword Forging

Finally, Tetsuzuka Hotaru and Kokushibo arrived at their destination and found Miss Tamayo who was stationed there.

Seeing that the temporary headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps was now deserted, Hotaru Tetsutsuzuka said in confusion:

"Where did everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps go?"

"To kill ghosts!" Miss Tamayo replied.

"Kill demons?" Hearing this word, Kokushibo was a little bit unbelievable.

"The Demon Slayer Corps has become the target of public criticism now, and those foolish swordsmen are still killing demons and thinking about protecting the people of this country?"

"Yes, it's really stupid, extremely stupid. They obviously can't even save their own lives, but they still choose to fight the evil spirits." Miss Tamayo sighed:

“But this is the Demon Slayer Corps, isn’t it? Hasn’t this been the way the Demon Slayer Corps has been for thousands of years? No matter what happens, the Demon Slayer Corps will always uphold their dignity as human beings and slay the man-eating demons. Whether they are unknown or infamous, the Demon Slayer Corps will always be the Demon Slayer Corps!”

"You don't understand." Kokushibo snorted coldly.

But his eyes were inexplicably complicated, as if he was recalling something.

Then Miss Tamayo continued:

"The so-called Tranquility Stone is not necessarily a fragment of the moon. The main reason why Tranquility Stone has magical powers is that it is highly radioactive. The energy released through natural decay can destroy the cell structure of the human body, thus producing deformation similar to ghostification."

As she spoke, Miss Tamayo led the two to a secret warehouse. Along the way, Hotaru Kotsuzuka said:

"Ms. Tamayo, I didn't expect you to know so much about Jinghai Stone!"

Ms. Tamayo explained:

"I once thought about curing the genetic disease that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Ubuyashiki family, so I studied this stone."

She pointed to the small box sealed by concrete in the warehouse and said:

"That's the Tranquility Sea Stone."

Seeing that Hotaru Tetsutsuka was about to pick up the box, Ms. Tamayo shook her head and said:

"Mr. Hotaru, for the sake of your health, let Kokushibo take this box of stones. Although I have sealed it with concrete, I still cannot guarantee that the radioactive substances of the Jinghai Stone will not penetrate in."

After hearing this, Kokushibo immediately picked up the box.

Feeling the Tranquility Stone in the box, Kokushibo became more and more looking forward to the sharp blade that belonged to him.

Hotaru Tetsutsuzuka recalled what happened to her village and the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps that she saw being killed along the way, and said with regret:

"Now I seem to understand why the senior who forged the sword for Senior Tsugumi Yuichi hundreds of years ago did not leave his name. It was not because he was indifferent to fame and fortune, but because he knew he was guilty! Because he, like me, forged the sword with hatred."

"It was this hatred that made him forge an unprecedented Sun Blade. But it was also because of this hatred that he forged a sword to kill people. I don't think the swordsmith at that time would have thought that the locusts in this country were also man-eating ghosts!"

"So when he forged that sword, he felt the same way as I do now. Our swords were not made to kill demons, but to kill people!"

Hearing this, Kokushibo chuckled and said:

"Whether it's killing ghosts or killing people, what's the difference? Swords are weapons. If you don't have the killing intent in your heart, how can you forge a divine weapon? No wonder you swordsmiths haven't made any progress in hundreds of years, because you don't have the killing intent of swordsmiths in your hearts at all."

Yes, swords are weapons, and only hatred and murderous intent can forge the strongest blade.

As Hotaru Tsuchiya thought about this, his eyes became sharper. At this moment, he finally possessed all the qualities to become the strongest swordsmith. He was about to forge the most powerful blade of his life!

Back at the Swordsmith Village, all the bodies of the villagers had been buried, but the air still lingered with a hint of blood. In front of the new graves, Hotaru Tetsutsuka began forging swords for the last time in his life.

Beside him, Kokushibo watched calmly. He wanted to observe the birth of this sharp blade throughout the whole process, because only in this way could he better understand this sharp blade that was about to be born, and also allow him to better integrate with this sharp blade.

"The first step in forging a sword is to choose tamagang. The so-called tamagang is actually iron."

Hotaru Tetsuzuka was not wearing a mask at this time, and his handsome face was full of seriousness.

The reason why the swordsmith wears a mask is to hide his identity and protect the safety of the swordsmith village. But now that the swordsmith village is gone, he naturally has no need to hide his identity. Not to mention that the mask will block the swordsmith's vision and block his sense of smell, so the swordsmith basically does not wear a mask when forging a sword.

"Generally, the jade used by the Demon Slayer Corps is the Gorilla Scarlet Iron and the Gorilla Scarlet Ore. This kind of jade contains the power of the sun and can kill evil spirits. But you are a demon, so this kind of jade is obviously not suitable for you. So I chose the material that is most suitable for demons and you."

Kokushibo saw Hotaru Kotetsuka take out a piece of cold iron and said:

"This is ten thousand year old cold iron from the Far North, born from the fire in the earth's core, and is naturally extremely hard. Later, it was ejected from the volcano under the action of the movement of the earth's crust, and landed on the snowy mountains in the Far North where the sun never shines. It is eroded by wind and snow all day long, and is covered by the moonlight. It is extremely cold and gloomy, and is the most suitable for your Moon Breathing Method."

After saying that, he wrapped the large piece of cold iron in paper, coated it with clay and wood ash, and placed it directly on the stove to heat it.

"Generally, jadeite will be broken into pieces at this stage and then put into the furnace for calcination. On the one hand, it is for carburization, and on the other hand, it is also to select materials that can be used to forge famous swords. However, the material of this ten thousand year cold iron is extremely excellent, and there is no need to select it. In this step, it only needs carburization."

After a while, Iron Tsuka Firefly took the Thousand Years Cold Iron out of the furnace, but was surprised to find that the Thousand Years Cold Iron had not melted at all. Seeing this, Iron Tsuka Firefly sighed:

“Oh no! I underestimated the strength of the ten thousand year old iron. I’m afraid I can’t melt this material with just charcoal and a furnace! Damn it! What should I do?”

Just when Hotaru Tetsutsuka was in distress, Kokushibo suddenly scratched a hole on his hand, and his blood as a demon dripped into the furnace. Instantly, the temperature of the flame in the furnace rose suddenly, and even Hotaru Tetsutsuka, who was standing next to him, was almost burned by the high temperature.

“Okay, okay, okay!”

Feeling the high temperature of the flame, Hotaru Tetsuzuka said in surprise:

"I never thought that blood demon arts could actually increase the temperature of the furnace. With such a fierce flame, I will definitely be able to forge an unprecedented sword!"

He threw the ten thousand year cold iron into the fire again. When he took it out again not long after, it was already red hot by the blazing fire. He knew that the ten thousand year cold iron was not an ordinary material, and it contained a terrible cold air. If he didn't forge it quickly, the material would definitely cool down quickly. Gangtzuka Ying quickly took a sledgehammer and hammered at the ten thousand year cold iron.

While hammering, he also hammered the Jinghai Stone into the Ten Thousand Years Cold Iron. After going through the two processes of upper forging and lower forging, he finally integrated this most bizarre Jinghai Stone with the coldest Ten Thousand Years Cold Iron into one, and obtained the rough blank for forging a famous sword.

Two days had passed like this.

During these two days, Hotaru Tsuchiya devoted his whole body and soul to forging this famous sword, so much so that he even forgot to eat and drink. If it weren't for Kokushibo's reminder, he would have died of exhaustion beside the stove.

After completing the forging of the rough piece, Hotaru Tetsutsuka began the process of fire forging. The so-called fire forging is to forge the rough piece into the shape of a long sword. At this stage, Hotaru Tetsutsuka focused more and more on forging the sword.

In Kokushibo's eyes, it seemed as if Hotaru Tsuchiya had used various techniques such as filing, cutting, and planing, either with great effort or with carefulness and delicacy, to gradually forge the rough blank into the shape of a long sword.

All these processes need to be carried out next to the furnace, and the ten thousand year cold iron is much tougher than ordinary materials. Even the strong and healthy Iron Tsukahara was almost exhausted after completing this step. He had to rest for half a day before he could continue the work of forging the sword.

Seeing that the forging of a long sword was so complicated and difficult, even Kokushibo was deeply moved.

He was originally a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. Every time a member of the Demon Slayer Corps broke the Nichirin Sword, he would see the swordsmiths rushing to fight the member of the Demon Slayer Corps. Kokushibo didn't quite understand. It's just a sword, is it that serious?

Now that he had witnessed the birth of a famous sword, he realized how difficult it was for a swordsmith. If he had spent so much effort to forge a precious sword, but it was not cherished by others, he would probably be eager to find someone to kill him.

After the fire-making process is completed, the next step is to make the clay. This step requires the swordsmith to use clay as the material, mix it with carbon powder, and add various minerals as a secret recipe, and then apply them on the blade.

Hotaru Tetsutsuka was born in a long-standing swordsmith village, where the village's Tsuchidori skills were already superb. Relying on the village's secret recipe, Hotaru Tetsutsuka completed the Tsuchidori process in a short time. Then he began the most critical step, which was also the most challenging step for the swordsmith's skill, burning it in.

This step is extremely challenging for the swordsmith to master the temperature, and even directly determines the performance of the sword. Kokushibo saw Hotaru Tetsutsuka put the long sword made by Tsuchidori into the charcoal pile to smolder. Because of the blood demon art of Kokushibo, the high temperature of the flame does not allow the thermometer to measure the temperature. Therefore, Hotaru Tetsutsuka relies on his own experience to control the temperature in this process.

When the temperature is almost right, the Steel Tsuka Firefly will be quenched.

But at this critical moment, Hotaru Kotsuga stopped.

"The most suitable tool for quenching swords has always been animal urine. But now we are forging a famous sword that can kill people. Such a famous sword cannot be quenched with such a dirty thing. Not to mention that animal urine is not the most suitable quenching tool. In this world, the most suitable quenching tool for a famous sword is blood! And the suitable blood is naturally the blood of a swordsmith!"

After saying that, he actually took out a small knife and cut a hole in the artery of his arm. Blood immediately gushed out, and soon his blood filled a small wooden basin. By the time the bleeding stopped, Tietsuzuka Hotaru's face was already pale due to excessive blood loss.

Then, he quickly put the long sword of suitable temperature into his own blood to quench it. With the continuous sound of "sizzling", the strong smell of blood immediately spread throughout the whole village of swordsmiths.

But in such an environment, Kokushibo, as a demon, had no interest in eating people. Now, he was focusing on the long sword forged by Hotaru Tetsuzuka. Seeing that the sword became crystal clear and radiated a faint moonlight after being soaked in blood, Kokushibo's eyes became more and more excited.

Nice knife!

Forged with ten thousand year old cold iron, with the Jinghai stone from the moon fragment as the sword core, burned with the flames driven by his own blood demon magic, and forged by the top swordsmith, and tempered with his blood, this famous sword has a temperament that is not inferior to any other famous sword.

It is quiet, cold, and profound, yet faintly reveals a hint of evil and murderous intent.

Kokushibo had never seen such a famous sword in his hundreds of years of life.

After the quenching process, the sword is almost finished. Generally, blacksmiths will engrave their names on the famous swords they forge at this stage. But Hotaru Kotsuzuka forged the sword out of hatred, and it was a killing sword for the ghost. How could he leave his name on such a sword?

Without engraving anything, Hotaru Kotetsuzuka immediately began the last stage of sword forging: grinding.

After a rest, Hotaru Tetsutsuka returned to the room where he had sharpened the knife and began to sharpen it with great concentration. This time, without the interference of others, Hotaru Tetsutsuka sharpened the knife very seriously. He first polished away the flaws on the blade, and then sharpened the blade.

Because it was made of ten thousand year old cold iron, the blade of this knife was extremely strong, so the grinding process was extremely painful. But even so, Iron Tsuka Hotaru still spent two days and two nights to complete this process without eating or drinking.

Looking at the long sword in her hand shining with the beautiful moonlight, Hotaru Tsuchiya with bloodshot eyes couldn't help but cry with joy.

"Finally, I have forged a sword that is unprecedented in its fame!"

After trying to swing the sword twice and listening to the sound of the long sword in the wind, Hotaru Kotsuzuka nodded:

"Yes, it is a good sword, the best sword ever! This sword definitely surpasses the one in Mr. Yoriichi's hand. It is the most powerful sword in the history of our Demon Slayer Corps!"

Kokushibo, who witnessed the entire forging process, also expressed the same sentiment at this time.

It's not easy!

He looked at Kotetsuzuka Hotaru with eyes full of respect, because this swordsmith had just accomplished an unprecedented feat.

At the same time, he also secretly swore in his heart:

Since my sword surpasses Yuichi, my record must also surpass Yuichi! What Yuichi failed to do, I must do! I want to let the world know that I am not just Yuichi Tsugakuin's brother, I am Yansheng Tsugakuin who is stronger than him!

Chapter 186: Breathing of Time

After the sword forging was finished, Hotaru Kotsuzuka came to the outside of the Swordsmith Village. Following Hotaru Kotsuzuka closely, Kokushibo saw Hotaru Kotsuzuka kneeling in front of the graves in the Swordsmith Village, shouting:

"Everyone, did you see that? I succeeded. I succeeded in forging the strongest sword!"

He raised the long sword in his hand and shouted excitedly. But then his face turned sad and he said with melancholy:

"I know, I know, people don't really want me to live in hatred, right?"

"I know that I have a bad temper and always do things without considering the consequences. I have caused a lot of trouble to everyone in the village. Many people hate me, so much so that I have not married at such an old age. In fact, I was the same before. I also hated everyone. I always felt that everyone was really troublesome and always told me not to do this or that."

“But, but…”

As she spoke, tears began to flow down Tetsuzuka Hotaru's face, and she cried out in pain:

"But I still can't control myself!"

Looking at the nearest grave, this grave belongs to the boy named Xiaotie.

He had no talent as a swordsmith, so he was always playing with his family's mechanical puppets. Originally, Hotaru Kotsuzuka looked down on him, but when he saw him, at such a young age, turned into a cold corpse and was buried in the soil by himself, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Seeing everyone die in front of me, seeing everything I once hated disappear one by one, I feel like I'm going crazy! We are all good people, and we have done nothing wrong, but just because of the suspicion of that damn locust, we are all dead!"

“Why?”

"Just because he's a Sky Locust, can he kill people at will? It was like this before with our Demon Slayer Corps, and it's still like this now. Every time our Demon Slayer Corps is prosperous, the royal family will come out and call for our killing. Why do we, the Demon Slayer Corps, who work so hard to kill demons, still get killed by others? Did we do something wrong?"

He raised the long sword in his hand and roared:

"Do you see this knife? I broke the village's oath and forged a knife that kills people! Not only that, the wielder of this knife is an evil spirit, an evil spirit that has eaten countless people! Do you think I'm crazy? I forged a weapon for an evil spirit. In fact, even I think I'm crazy!"

"But so what? In today's world, good people don't get good rewards, but bad people can have fun every night. The Demon Slayer Corps has sacrificed so much, but they don't even have a little honor. And cruel and merciless killers like Tianhuang can rise high, enjoy wealth and glory, and enjoy the praise of everyone!"

"I don't accept it!"

Hotaru Tetsuzuka continued to roar:

"Why should good people live in such pain, while bad people live so well? I don't accept it!"

"So, I forged this knife. Not for anything else, but to let those high-ranking guys know what true cruelty is. I also want them to experience the horror of death and let them die a miserable death!"

After roaring, he actually put the long sword he had just forged on his neck.

Feeling the chill from the long sword, he chuckled and said:
