Akaza's right arm was completely twisted and melted; that strike, [Immortal Path · Rakshasa Palm], caused terrible damage to his arm.
However, Akaza seemed to feel no pain at all at this moment. Under the sunlight, his back began to burn, but his eyes still radiated intense fighting spirit.
He wanted to fight!
He wanted to fight against the strong!
He wanted to battle the powerful enemy before him!
This will made Akaza completely forget the pain. His Mental state surpassed its limit. He raised his left arm, looked at Bai Cangshu's hand, which was as sharp as a great spear, and threw a punch.
Bai Cangshu was also Mental concentrated, with burning battle intent on his face. At this moment, Akaza attracted all of Bai Cangshu's attention, surpassing Nakime, surpassing Kokushibo, and even surpassing Muzan.
[Immortal Path · Devil Spear!]
Puff!
Bai Cangshu's pupils contracted. Akaza, whose left fist hadn't fully struck, had his head instantly shattered. Countless tentacles from behind shattered Akaza's upper body and instantly stabbed towards Bai Cangshu.
Behind that brutal attack was Kibutsuji Muzan's twisted face.
"Die together with me!"
Kibutsuji Muzan, having cast aside all reason and wisdom, once again reverted to that 'Scum of Humanity' who would stop at nothing just to survive.
Just a moment ago, it was a subordinate who blocked the attack for it; the next moment, it used the subordinate's body as a shield to launch an attack, wanting to kill both the subordinate and the enemy.
Bai Cangshu's stance changed. His left foot suddenly stepped towards the right side of his body, twisting his form to change direction. At the same time, his hand, which emitted ripples like a great spear, instantly slashed horizontally as he twisted his body.
Puff!
Kibutsuji Muzan cried out in pain. Its tentacles, which were harder than swords, were instantly severed by the opponent's hand.
That was the power of sunlight! This guy possessed the power of sunlight!
As Bai Cangshu twisted his body, the sharp tentacles still grazed his cheek, scraping against the cheekbone and carving out a bloody wound.
Clang!
At the same time, the sound of a sword echoed from behind him.
[Moon Breathing · Eighth Form · Moon-Dragon Ringtail]!
The air was sliced apart by the sword's edge, and the terrifying whistling sound was like the wailing of an Ogre.
Bai Cangshu's waist seemed to break as his entire body fell backward. He propped himself up with his hands on the ground and saw the dark moon-like sword light sweep horizontally above him.
Boom!
The wooden floor was neatly cut through.
Rumble!
Amidst the sudden descent, Bai Cangshu instantly reacted. This wooden house had a basement!
Kibutsuji Muzan had originally despaired, but at this moment, it suddenly regained hope.
The moment Bai Cangshu landed in the basement, he exerted force with his hands, and his waist sprang up. The black sword light had already landed again where he had just stood.
Kokushibo was covered in blood. His upper body was burned beyond recognition, and even the six eyes on his face only had three remaining intact at this moment.
But this strongest Upper Moon's hand holding the sword did not waver in the slightest.
He took a step forward, and his sword momentum rose again.
[Moon Breathing · Third Form · Loathing Moon · Chains]!
Kokushibo twisted his body significantly. His sword momentum was extremely decisive. He unleashed a slash, and a massive sword light cut through the air, tearing it apart. Countless crescent moon-like fine sword winds scattered in the air.
Bai Cangshu's physique slightly expanded at this time. His strength, speed, and tolerance for pain all increased significantly.
He suddenly roared, stomping forward with one foot. The moment the ground violently shook, his body lunged towards the side away from Kokushibo.
Puff!
The sword light sank into the ground. Kokushibo's strike was not fully spent. After the wide-range slash, his body naturally twisted, and the second slash instantly followed. This form was originally a two-hit combo.
Its three eyes watched Bai Cangshu, who stepped forward onto the wall.
The opponent's intense fighting spirit, and even the movements of his muscles, were completely visible in his eyes.
[Transparent World]!
A state that Breathing Style users in this world can only master after reaching the ultimate realm.
When movements honed through countless trials are integrated with the Breathing Style, the user can even feel the flow in every single blood vessel and exert maximum power with minimal movement.
After the user overcomes the pain of being disturbed by the vast amount of internal information gained during this stage, the control beyond the ultimate allows Breathing Style swordsmen to discard redundant parts of their movements.
By controlling their blood flow, breathing, and lungs, they redefine their movements, becoming faster, more precise, and stronger.
Ultimately, the user will see a completely Transparent World, and the enemy's breathing, blood flow, and muscle movements will also be fully perceived.
Any movement will be discerned by the contraction of muscles and blood vessels, allowing the user to directly find the opponent's weak points.
This is the so-called [Transparent World].
Kokushibo's body paused slightly, and his sword momentum was 'held' in his hand for half a breath.
It was this difference of a hair's breadth that caused Bai Cangshu's wall-stepping explosive return strike to miss its timing, instead making it seem as if he was crashing into [Void Manifestation].
Thump, thump, thump!
Bai Cangshu's heart rate suddenly accelerated.
He genuinely felt the icy chill of approaching death.
Creak.
Bai Cangshu's abdominal muscles made a terrible sound as if they were tearing. He suddenly flipped in mid-air, his forward charge turning into a battle-axe style downward chop.
Even Kokushibo, a swordsman who had opened the [Transparent World], had his pupils suddenly contract at this moment.
He unleashed a slash, and the opponent flipped in mid-air, avoiding a strike that would normally be impossible to evade.
Bang!
Kokushibo raised his hand and was struck by a kick with terrifying force.
Kokushibo instantly knelt on one knee, and the ground shattered violently.
Bai Cangshu himself used the force of this downward kick to leap up again.
As he jumped into the air, he was also exposed to the sunlight again.
[You killed Upper Moon Three · Akaza, gaining 1500 dimensional points]
[Your damage dealt to Akaza is less than 50%, this kill cannot be considered a solo kill]
Bai Cangshu was startled. As he stepped onto the ground, he also noticed that Akaza's body, which had fallen into the basement, had completely burned away.
The damage he dealt was less than half, which meant his strike [Immortal Path · Rakshasa Palm] was not the cause of his death.
Bai Cangshu looked at Kibutsuji Muzan in the darkness, who was thrashing his body, as the flesh burned away by the sunlight began to regenerate.
Haha, so this guy killed Akaza.
Bai Cangshu frowned. He liked fighting, he liked battling, but only... he disliked this feeling.
Tsk, truly incorrigible.
At this time, the remaining Upper Moons in the underground area were in different states.
Hantengu's normal elderly body, because his reaction wasn't fast, was ignited by the sunlight immediately and had now burned to ashes.
But likely his main body, the extremely small 'Fearful Ogre', was still hiding in the shadows. Relatively speaking, in this environment, it was indeed the Upper Moon best able to avoid the sunlight.
But because it was burned by the sunlight and unable to split into more combat-capable clones, Hantengu was not much of a threat for the time being.
Kokushibo was heavily injured by the sunlight but still had the strength to fight. Upper Moon Two Douma's flames on his body had extinguished, and due to his injuries, he had even begun using his ice poison Blood Demon Art.
Nakime's biwa was essentially similar to Kokushibo's sword, both being parts of their bodies, and were also rapidly recovering.
Everything was developing in a direction where all the Ogres, except for Akaza who had died, could leave unharmed.
Kibutsuji Muzan looked at Bai Cangshu standing on the ground, enveloped by sunlight, and the corners of its mouth curved up, revealing a cold smile.
"To be able to kill an Upper Moon, you are still..."
"Shut up!"
A sudden roar erupted. Bai Cangshu's mouth twitched, revealing a terrifying smile. He pulled the pin of the high-explosive grenade in his hand, took a deep breath, and a massive amount of air, like white mist, was inhaled into his lungs.
His breathing frequency changed abnormally, and as his body became increasingly agitated, waves of ripples spread out.
Click.
Bai Cangshu released his hand, and the high-explosive grenade fell.
Boom!
The huge explosion engulfed Nakime. Amidst the high-temperature smoke, Bai Cangshu directly jumped down again.
