Staring at the black-red blood in his hands with eyes about to burst, Akaza's anger suddenly surged, making him unable to control himself.
His violent heartbeat pounded incessantly, like a booming bell ringing in his ears. A Vague image seemed to flash before his eyes... two humans lying on the ground, covered with white cloths, and he... he was... Ugh!
Clutching his head in pain, Akaza let out a suppressed growl.
Gasping for breath, Akaza's eyes were wide, and veins bulged on his forehead, twitching repeatedly.
He was crying?
Akaza raised a hand in a daze and pressed it to his eye. He could cry?
?
What kind of reaction is this?
Although Shinobu thought her poison would cause demons pain, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?
Something is wrong!
Yoizumi keenly sensed this and immediately brandished his nichirin blade, charging towards Akaza. Pure white snow poured from the blade, leaving a trail of snow wherever Yoizumi passed.
Breath of Snow First Form: Falling Snow!
As fast as an afterimage, the nichirin blade instantly swung towards Akaza's neck. Flakes of falling snow struck Akaza's eyes directly, turning into a crystal tear that rolled down his cheek.
"Boom!"
The large-scale smoke generated by the clash of the two demons obscured everyone's vision. Kamado Tanjirou watched nervously, his lips pressed together, muttering repeatedly in his heart.
Yoizumi-nii.
I saw it!
Hmph... He actually... caught it... Tanjirou watched this scene in disbelief.
Akaza clamped Yoizumi's blade with both hands, large veins protruding on his arms. Despite his clenched teeth, black-red blood continued to seep out.
"What I... hate most is despicable people!"
Yoizumi frowned and used both hands to press the nichirin blade downwards. Despite being heavily poisoned, Akaza's strength seemed not to have weakened at all, but rather increased significantly.
The two were in a stalemate, and everyone else came forward to help.
Hinokami Kagura!
Flame Breathing!
Insect Breathing!
Catching sight of the madness hidden in Akaza's eyes, a warning bell rang loudly in Yoizumi's heart. He secretly thought, 'This is bad,' and immediately shouted loudly.
"Don't come any closer!"
Before his words had even fallen, Akaza actually gave up resisting the nichirin blade. The blade directly sliced through his upper body, but he paid no mind, black-red blood splattering on his furious face.
"Why can't you be straightforward!"
"Why! Can't you be honorable!"
Technique Deployment: Final Form: Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow!
The snowflake pattern on the ground bloomed, and a terrifying, chilling aura permeated the agitated air. In just an instant, centered on Akaza, whistling sounds of air breaking exploded out of nowhere, with hundreds of punches attacking everyone from all directions!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The space was shattered and dilapidated, wood splinters filled the air. Amidst the swirling smoke, Akaza's strained gasps were clearly audible.
Yoizumi had disappeared from his sight the moment he launched his attack.
But he definitely felt like he hit something... Raising his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him, Akaza coldly looked in the direction of the humans from earlier. After seeing clearly, Akaza raised an eyebrow.
They truly are... one by one... always liking to do such utterly boring things.
"Yoizumi-nii!"
"Yoizumi!"
Yoizumi clutched half of his face, which was smashed, and his entire body was pierced in multiple places. Large pools of blood soaked his originally pristine white robe.
With his regeneration ability, the gaps in his body were restored. His gaze shifted back, and only after confirming that Tanjirou and Shinobu behind him were safe and sound did he let out a slight sigh of relief.
"I'm fine."
What about Kyoujurou?
Only after sensing that Kyoujurou's vital signs were still present did Yoizumi's heart finally calm down a little.
Staring at his blood-soaked brother's back.
Tanjirou's eyes welled up, and a look of regret appeared in his crimson pupils.
When Akaza launched his attack just now, he was simply unable to dodge in time. It was Yoizumi-nii who appeared in front of him, blocking most of the attacks with his breathing technique, and then using his own body... Tanjirou... Tanjirou... Why can you only watch Yoizumi-nii rush to the front?
Why can't you play even a small role?
Why couldn't you even help your brother share the burden?
Did all these days of training not lead to any improvement?!
Tanjirou fell into self-doubt for a moment.
"Tanjirou,"
his brother's clear voice came.
Just having his name called, his trembling hands unconsciously steadied. Tanjirou nodded heavily, gripped his nichirin blade tightly, and adjusted his breathing.
Calm down... Kamado Tanjirou!
"Shinobu..."
Yoizumi called softly. Shinobu frowned, her chest rising and falling. After glancing at Yoizumi, she finally closed her eyes, allowing herself to calm down.
But the exposed veins on her slender hands still revealed her current emotions.
However, now... the blood on Yoizumi's body was blindingly painful in her eyes.
...
Akaza once again assumed his stance. The surging toxins within him constantly made their presence known, each time making Akaza numb with discomfort.
With every bit of numbness, the suppressed rage in his heart grew an inch.
"Don't bother with the weak and the despicable."
"Let such people die!"
Upon hearing this, Yoizumi's sapphire eyes immediately grew cold. The nichirin blade once again turned red, and Blood Demon Art: Air Raid, without warning, sliced off Akaza's legs.
This troublesome Blood Demon Art again!
Akaza cursed inwardly. For a moment, his Compass detected... Yoizumi's killing intent!
After regenerating his legs, he immediately swung a punch behind him. His fist only caught the scattered falling snow, and a thin layer of ice instantly covered the surface of his skin, as the toxins permeated.
Akaza's nerves were somewhat paralyzed, and even his reaction speed slowed down.
A bone-chilling cold pierced through his spine. Yoizumi's striking golden hair flashed past Akaza's eyes, followed by countless swirling white feathers appearing out of nowhere. The moment they touched Akaza, his skin was cut open.
His eyelashes were covered with a layer of white frost, and the cut wounds, before even bleeding, were frozen. Combined with his affected nerves, Akaza's thoughts became scattered.
Breath of Snow Sixth Form: Immaculate White Snow!
In his golden eyes, Yoizumi's figure continuously magnified. Countless fine snow fell, and Akaza's vision was almost entirely blank, with only the cold, pervading every part of his body.
His body couldn't move?
His killing intent had clearly been detected by the Compass!
Why?
"Tanjirou is not weak."
"Shinobu is even less of a despicable person."
"Don't..."
The nichirin blade pressed directly against Akaza's neck, yet he couldn't even manage the most basic act of raising a hand to resist. Watching the nichirin blade cut towards him, Akaza's eyes widened.
How could this be!
"Speak ill of Shinobu."
"Swish!"
Akaza's head rolled to the ground...
