The Fruit of Surgery

"Destruction and Killing Style"

"Flame Breathing Form Five, Flame Tiger."

"Flame Breathing Form Two, Flame Rising"

"Destruction and Killing Sky Style"

After the battle began, Upper Rank Three Akaza and Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro of the Demon Slayer Corps directly engaged in a fierce confrontation, each using their own moves to attack the enemy.

Both of them focused their attention on each other. In a fight between masters of their level, if they were not careful, they might suffer fatal injuries.

"I really didn't expect that there would be someone close to the supreme realm in the Demon Slayer Corps. You are much better than those guys." After another collision of his two-handed moves, Akaza looked at his broken left arm with excitement, and looked at the Flame Pillar in front of him with appreciation, not caring about the injury on his left hand at all.

The Flame Pillar did not reply to Akaza's words, but concentrated on using the Flame Breathing to recover the physical strength he had consumed before. If you look closely at his arms at this time, you will find that the Flame Pillar's arm holding the Sun Wheel Sword is trembling slightly.

From the beginning of the battle to now, although the Flame Pillar has caused a lot of damage to Akaza, and even cut off his arm again, the opponent is an upper-rank demon with amazing recovery ability. If he cannot beheaded, no matter what kind of damage he causes, it is meaningless.

The Flame Pillar has much more physical strength than ordinary people under the blessing of breathing techniques, but there is still a huge gap compared with demons, especially upper-rank demons.

If it was a battle between people, Akaza would have died long ago with the injuries he suffered before.

"Although you are very powerful and have already approached the supreme realm, as a human, you will never be able to reach the supreme realm, because the human body is too weak, will age and die, and only by joining us can you keep training." After Akaza's arm recovered, he did not immediately launch an attack, but persuaded the Flame Pillar to make him a demon.

"Shut up." The Flame Pillar immediately shouted loudly. If it were a person who was afraid of death, he might be instigated by Akaza, but the Flame Pillar was not that kind of person.

As he spoke, the Flame Pillar launched an attack. "A thunderous sound immediately erupted from his body, and he rushed towards Akaza like a meteor. The red Nichirin Sword seemed to dye the entire space red. The secret of the breathing of fire, the nine forms, purgatory.

The Flame Pillar's attack made Akaza, who was in the Luozhen technique barrier, feel an extremely strong sense of crisis. It was the most dangerous moment Akaza had ever felt, a deadly danger.

"Destruction and killing style. "The strong sense of crisis made Akaza immediately use his strongest attack, and he threw a full-strength punch at the coming Nichirin Sword.

Boom.

The full-strength attacks of both sides collided, and a loud noise broke out. This sound made the members of the Demon Slayer Corps who were watching the battle from a distance cover their ears.

The force of the collision between the two sides turned the ground where the man and the demon stood into a big pit. At this time, on both sides of the pit, the Flame Pillar half-knelt on the ground, with the Nichirin Sword on the ground, and his right hand on the handle of the Nichirin Sword. As for his left arm, it was hanging to one side, and it was already blood red.

On Akaza's side, the entire right arm was cut in the middle and extended directly to the neck. Looking at Akaza's head, it drooped on the left shoulder, with only a trace of flesh and blood connected to the neck.

The Flame Pillar's profound attack of the Breath of Fire was only a hair away from chopping off Akaza's head, but it was this hair that instantly turned the whole ending upside down.

"What a pity. "Akasaga said as he pressed his head with his left hand. The demon's regenerative ability made his head, which was almost cut off, recover quickly.

Not only the head, but also the injuries of his right arm and right shoulder were recovering rapidly.

This is a demon. If you can't cut off its head, no matter how hard the previous battle was, the result will be in vain.

"Don't you think it's a pity if you die like this? Join us." Akaza, who has fully recovered, once again recruited the Flame Pillar.

The Flame Pillar expressed his intention with practical actions. Even if he only had one hand left and his body was seriously injured, he would never compromise with the demon.

"Master Flame Pillar." At this time, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps rushed up and surrounded the Flame Pillar. They ran over regardless of danger because they were worried about the battle situation.

"Is it just for these trash?" Akaza glanced at the members of the Demon Slayer Corps coldly, and then launched an attack, kicking the member of the Demon Slayer Corps closest to him.

"Be careful. "After seeing this scene, the Flame Pillar immediately rushed up regardless of his injuries, and blocked Akaza's feet with his Sun Blade, thus saving the member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"You retreat first, leave this to me." The Flame Pillar was very clear about his own injuries. Killing demons was simply a delusion. At this point, he could only do his best to hold Akaza back and let the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps escape.

"Master Flame Pillar, you go first, we will stop him." The members of the Demon Slayer Corps did not obey the Flame Pillar's order. In their opinion, the lives of all of them were not as good as the life of the Flame Pillar alone. If they died, there would naturally be someone to replace them, but the Flame Pillar had no replacement.

"You can't stop him, go quickly, tell the leader the information here, this is an order." The Flame Pillar shouted at the members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The gap in strength between the two sides meant that only the Flame Pillar could buy time. Although the ideas of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were good, they were unrealistic. Even if the Flame Pillar was willing to leave, Akaza would soon catch up with him after killing them.

"In that case, you all go to hell, destroy the killing style." Akaza seemed to be very impatient at this time, and it seemed that he didn't want to recruit the Flame Pillar anymore, so he used his own killing move directly.

"Be careful." Looking at Akaza's raised fist, the Flame Pillar immediately roared and rushed to the front, trying to block this attack.

Among the nine pillars, the Flame Pillar was the kindest. Although the Wind Pillar, the Snake Pillar and others would not do it deliberately, they would not be stingy with the lives of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps to create opportunities for themselves to kill demons.

Just like the Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen, who was ready to use Kanzaki Aoi as bait.

But the Flame Pillar was different. As long as he was in the battle, the casualties of the Demon Slayer Corps were zero. If they wanted to kill others, they had to kill him first.

Just when the Flame Pillar was ready to sacrifice his life to block Akaza's move, a figure suddenly inserted from the side, and the blue light was waving in the air.

Akaza's powerful attack seemed to be completely weakened under the blue light. Then, a blue light streaked across Akaza's neck, and a figure appeared behind Akaza. Judging from his clothes, the person was none other than Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu.

Water Breathing Type 11 was exactly the attack method used by Tomioka Giyuu just now. Attack and defense in one, this is the biggest feature of Water Breathing.

Bang.

A moment later, Akaza's head fell off his shoulders. With Akaza's strength, he would not have been killed by Giyuu in one move, but who made him pay attention to the Flame Pillar before?

"We won."

Seeing the head of Upper Rank 3 being chopped off, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then cheered. Although the price they paid was a bit high and many people died, they finally killed this powerful Upper Rank Demon.

Seeing Tomioka Giyuu appear, the Flame Pillar finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with this sigh of relief, the Flame Pillar's body immediately fell down. Before Akaza was there, the Flame Pillar was holding on with the breath of flame, and with this relaxation, the breathing method naturally relaxed.

"Flame Pillar-sama." The members of the Demon Slayer Corps immediately supported the fallen Flame Pillar.

"Take him away quickly, the demon is not dead yet." At this moment, Tomioka Giyuu's urgent voice suddenly sounded.

"What?" As soon as Tomioka Giyuu finished speaking, all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps immediately focused their attention on Akaza who was still standing.

In theory, if a demon's head is chopped off, the body will collapse and die, but at this time Akaza's body is still alive, and it seems that a silent cry came out of his body, and the headless body wandered in the same place, but it did not disappear.

"Take Kyojuro away immediately, leave this to me." The sudden change made Giyuu immediately issue the most suitable order.

At this time, Giyu Tomioka was actually extremely shocked, but because he had always been cold, outsiders could not see what he was thinking.

"Lord Water Pillar, be careful." This time, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps did not hesitate, and quickly left with the Flame Pillar. At the same time, several people took the lead and left first, hoping to bring the news back as soon as possible so that they could send people to support.

"It can recover." Seeing that the head showed signs of growing back, Giyu Tomioka immediately attacked the headless Akaza, but this time Giyu's attack did not work. Akaza fought back. Even though he had no head, because the ritual barrier was still there, Giyu's attack could not be hidden from him.

Water Breathing is an integrated attack and defense, but this is just a nice way of saying it. In other words, Water Breathing is mediocre, its attack is not as good as Fire Breathing, its speed is not as good as Thunder Breathing, and its defense is not as good as Flame Breathing.

Before, Giyuu was able to chop off Akaza's head by taking him by surprise. Now that he is prepared, we can see the difference between Giyuu's attack and the Flame Pillar.

Of course, moderation also has its advantages. Moderation is actually balance, without weaknesses, and not easy to be targeted. Since chopping off the head can't kill the Upper Rank Three, Giyuu is ready to use another method, relying on water breathing to delay until the sun appears.

In terms of delaying time, Giyuu is much better than the Flame Pillar.

"Damn it." Seeing that the sun was about to appear as time passed, Akaza was very angry, but he had to retreat. Even if he broke the limit of death by chopping off the head, Akaza didn't want to try whether he could break another limit and was not afraid of the sun.

"Ahem." After Akaza escaped, Giyuu breathed a sigh of relief this time and slumped on the ground. Even though he had been using water breathing to deal with it, he was also seriously injured because of the difference in strength. If Akaza persisted for a while, he might be able to kill him.

If Akaza had not broken through the limit, with Giyuu's strength, he could still fight Akaza, but after the breakthrough, his strength increased again, and Giyuu's strength was a little insufficient.

At this time, even if it was replaced by the Flame Pillar, the attack that could almost chop off Akaza's head before would definitely not have such an effect at this time.

"Lord Water Pillar." After Akaza escaped, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps who had been watching the battle here from a distance came over immediately. Although Giyuu asked them to leave before, they did not all leave.

Soon after, the Hidden Force of the Demon Slayer Corps appeared and began to clean up the mess, mainly to collect the bodies of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps who died in the battle and take them back for burial.

Whenever possible, the Demon Slayer Corps will take the bodies of the members who died in the battle back, unless they really can't find the bodies, then they will ignore them.

"We have met the Upper 3. It seems that the Flame Pillar has escaped death." In the Butterfly House, Shen Fei saw the injured Flame Pillar and Water Pillar, and then he understood what they had encountered.

The Flame Pillar in the original work died at the hands of Akaza, but this does not mean that the Flame Pillar is weaker than Akaza. At that time, the Flame Pillar had consumed a lot of physical strength to save people. He guarded several carriages by himself, and finally met Akaza.

If it was a fair fight, the Flame Pillar's strength would certainly be higher than Akaza's. Unfortunately, there is no fairness in fighting with demons. Akaza shouted about fighting every day, but in fact, he was just bullying people with the physique and blood demon art of demons.

Just like what Tanjiro shouted, the Demon Slayer Corps dared to fight demons at night, but demons never dared to fight people during the day.

At night, the strength of demons is added. Apart from other things, the vision alone is a great advantage, not to mention the hard skin comparable to steel.

"Chopping off the head won't kill him. I didn't expect to encounter such a situation." The report from the Flame Pillar and the Water Pillar made Ubuyashiki Yoya frown.

This is the first time that the Demon Slayer Corps has encountered such a thing.

"The Upper Six doesn't seem to have such a situation. Is it an ability that only the top three have, or is the Upper Three special? In this case, Muzan may also encounter such a situation, which is troublesome."

Humans have many disadvantages compared to demons. Chopping off the head is useless. Only sunlight can be used. Under such a premise, fighting with Muzan, the demon king, will definitely cause heavy casualties.

"It seems that we can only rely on him. It's a pity that the Sun Breathing has not been passed down, otherwise." Thinking of the Sun Breathing, Ubuyashiki Yoya couldn't help but sigh deeply.

The Sun Breathing, did the Ubuyashiki clan leave all the training methods? After all, the current mainstream breathing methods are evolved from the Sun Breathing. How can it be done without the Sun Breathing training method?

However, later, the Sun Breathing was completely destroyed by the Ubuyashiki clan. Apart from leaving a few words, the method of cultivation was not left at all.

"Also, with his strength, why does it seem that there has been no change until now? According to the records, when his strength reached that point, there should have been some changes."

As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Ubuyashiki clan has a lot of information on breathing methods, which of course includes the stripes. The Ubuyashiki clan is waiting for a swordsman who can open the stripes. Although the side effects of opening the stripes are very huge, the strength is rising sharply.

And more importantly, as long as there is a swordsman who opens the stripes, a group of swordsmen who open the stripes will appear around like a butterfly effect.

"No matter what, it's rare to catch Muzan's tail. This time, we must kill him at all costs."
