Demon Slayer: The Journey of Becoming Yoichi's Sister

Yuko drooped her eyelids and picked up the Nichirin sword that Shinobu Kocho had stuck on the ground.

"Here, let's continue." Yuko handed the handle back.

"I've lived for hundreds of years, and it would be shameful if I couldn't even beat an 18-year-old girl."

That's what she said, but...

Shinobu Kocho looked down at her still trembling hands. She knew the gap would be huge, but she never thought that she would lose the courage to fight.

"I'm too weak..." Shinobu Kocho looked a little broken-hearted.

"Is Shinobu looking down on me?"

"Eh? No." Shinobu Kocho was shocked and shook her head quickly.

Yuko said seriously: "Before the awakening of the mark, even if all the pillars joined forces, they would never be my opponent."

This is the result of her judgment based on Tomioka Giyuu as the standard of the pillar.

They will not have any chance to fight back if they start with full firepower.

Even if there is someone stronger than Giyuu among the pillars, she can't lose.

Unless another Yoriichi is born in this era, but judging from the development of the story, it seems that there is no such thing.

She is already immune to sunlight and the Nichirin Sword. Before the pillars exhaust her physical strength, Yuko has absolute confidence to defeat everyone.

All the pillars...

Shinobu Kocho opened her mouth: "Are all the upper ranks as powerful as Yuko?"

"How is that possible." Yuko shook her head, "There is also a huge gap between the upper ranks."

Just like Douma, the second upper rank, but in Yuko's eyes at the time, he was not necessarily that powerful, but she was not sure that she could stop him with a human body.

After developing a potion to prevent the cold poison, if his strength was only as strong as when he fought with Yuko, then his threat to the Demon Slayer Corps would be just that.

Moreover, that guy is a scoundrel at first glance.

There is only one real monster among the upper ranks.

In order to let Shinobu Kocho understand the fighting power of the Twelve Demon Moons more directly, Ikuko said directly: "The current Upper String One is my brother."

"After he became an Upper String, he has occupied the position of the top Upper String for hundreds of years without being shaken."

"He is the strongest evil ghost second only to Muzan."

Shinobu Kocho remembered what Ikuko said before, and her eyes widened slightly: "Ikuko was given by him..."

"Yeah."

"I don't think I have introduced myself to you completely yet." Ikuko suddenly remembered, "I am the swordsman who started breathing in the Warring States Period, and the sister of Tsugakuni Yoriichi."

"Tsugakuni Ikuko."

Shinobu Kocho's pupils trembled, and her breathing stagnated: "The swordsman who started breathing is the Upper String One?"

"Yeah." Ikuko nodded first, then realized that Shinobu Kocho might have misunderstood, and quickly corrected, "No, it's not..."

"I have two older brothers, one of whom is..."

Ikuko took some effort to explain her identity to Shinobu Kocho.

...

"In short, just treat me as the first of the upper strings. I believe I will not lose to him."

Shinobu Kocho was still in Yuko's experience, shocked: "I didn't expect that the swordsman who created the initial breathing method would take the initiative to become a demon..."

It's true to say that, the Moon Breathing is indeed the initial breathing.

Shinobu Kocho looked up at the sky, eyes slightly closed: "Let's continue, Yuko."

Yuko smiled: "Yeah."

"Do you need me to do it step by step?"

Shinobu Kocho took a deep breath and opened her eyes: "No, please do it as before."

"Okay."

Complete demonization is actually quite physically demanding, but this intensity of training has almost no effect on Yuko.

When Yuko once again showed a complete evil demon posture, the indescribable momentum instantly swept over like a huge wave rushing into the sea.

Shinobu Kocho clenched her teeth tightly, trembling hands tightly grasped the Sun Wheel Sword, and constantly adjusted her mentality.

Momentum is not a real pressure after all. As long as you overcome your inner fear...

But this is often the most difficult thing to overcome.

Illness can be cured by medicine, but worries cannot.

Shinobu Kocho seemed to have been pulled out of the water just now. She was soaked before any battle.

Fortunately, Shinobu Kocho is not an ordinary person. As a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps and a pillar, she also has the courage to put life and death outside of her body.

With her efforts to adjust, the trembling of her hands slowly stopped, and the heavy pressure in her heart also dissipated a lot.

"Hu~" The rapid breathing slowly calmed down, and Shinobu Kocho looked up at Yuko in front of her.

It was not until this time that she could calm down and observe Yuko.

...

It's so beautiful.

The cold silver moon hung in the sky behind Yuko, and the moonlight poured down,The originally snow-white long hair was rendered a bit brighter, and the golden eyes made her look more sacred.

Yuko tilted her head slightly, with a bit of doubt in her eyes: "Shinobu?"

Why didn't you call me?

"Ah?"

Shinobu Kocho let out a cute scream, her face flushed, as if she was caught peeping at someone, very embarrassed.

Yuko was a little surprised. In her vision, Shinobu Kocho's tense muscles were greatly relieved.

Did he withstand her momentum?

Moreover, his heartbeat also accelerated.

As expected of a pillar, the awakening of the pattern should not be too difficult.

"Then, Shinobu, be careful."

Yuko's face was slightly serious, and a white breath suddenly came out of her mouth.

Shinobu Kocho, who was a little embarrassed, had her pupils shrank slightly. This breathing method... is her sister's snow breathing!

Yuko drew out Shura, swung a snow-colored arc in the air, leaned back, raised the sword to shoulder level, and then a red light appeared from the tip of the sword.

"Snow Breathing·Eleventh Form·Red Furnace Dots Snow."

Eleventh Form? ! !

The cold voice entered Kocho Shinobu's ears. Speaking of it, Yuko did contact the lord as the successor of Snow Breathing.

And Snow Breathing is said to have been passed down along with the five basic breathings during the Warring States Period. Could it be that Yuko is Snow...

Without giving Kocho Shinobu a chance to think, a red and white flame in front of her eyes quickly enlarged.

In a hurry, Kocho Shinobu quickly retreated, her body dancing like a butterfly.

There is no doubt that Yuko was letting her win.

Rather than letting Kocho Shinobu feel the gap directly, pushing her into a desperate situation little by little can make people reach their limits.

But while letting her win, she was also practicing her new sword form.

After all, Sun Breathing is the most effective breathing method to restrain evil spirits. Because she could not use Sun Breathing perfectly, Yuko decided to use Snow Breathing to the end, and thought of a compromise.

Just like the Nine Types: Kagerou Yuki, as long as Snow Breathing is combined with Sun Breathing, the negative effects of Sun Breathing can be neutralized, and the ability to effectively enhance regeneration restraint can be achieved.

Although it is not as effective as pure Sun Breathing, it is at least suitable for her.
