Chapter 134 A single, sublime strike, the comprehension of a new Nen ability.

"Looks like I'll have to get a little serious."

As soon as Jikuni Yoriichi finished speaking.

With a slight movement of his feet, his entire body had already floated forward several meters.

There was no deliberate attempt to activate the Breath of the Sun sword form, and even the breathing rhythm was no different from usual.

However, the golden-red aura surrounding him grew even more intense, as if another small sun had risen in the training room.

"I've been waiting for this for ages!"

The fighting spirit in Busujima's eyes intensified.

He twirled the Spirit Slash in his hand, and the killing intent emanating from him spread along the blade, like a venomous snake ready to devour its prey.

Dokushima Yako stomped her foot hard.

An invisible wave of energy spread out from beneath their feet, as if it would crush the entire ground.

This time.

It's no longer just about swinging a spirit slash.

Instead, his figure became blurred, and the shadows of the blades overlapped, with dozens of slashes superimposed on each other in an instant.

Each strike was imbued with the murderous aura that had settled from millions of zombies.

Fast, ruthless, and decisive!

No room left.

If the person who took this blow wasn't Yoriichi Tsugikuni, but someone else, they would probably have been finely chopped into mincemeat.

A hint of approval flashed in Ji Guoyuan's eyes.

With a slight lift of his wrist, the Nichirin Blade in his hand seemed to come alive.

There was no complicated sword technique used, only the simplest parry.

But it was precisely this ordinary move that neutralized all of Busujima Yako's attacks.

Golden-red flames flowed along the blade, each touch pushing away the surging killing intent emanating from Ling Zhan.

Ablation.

But instead of completely destroying it, it is like forging steel, gradually compacting and condensing it.

This action perfectly confirms Yoriichi Tsugikuni's earlier statement that he would use himself as a whetstone to help Kiko Busujima advance further.

The more Busujima fought, the more alarmed he became.

Although she didn't say it outright, she actually harbored a certain pride in Yoriichi Tsugikuni, even though he was the undisputed strongest swordsman in the world.

He completely disregarded the other party's words about helping him advance further.

Her pride stemmed from the millions of zombies she had slain in the apocalypse, and also from her surpassing Su Yan in swordsmanship once again over the past year.

Because in Busujima Yako's heart, only her junior, Su Yan, is the strongest.

Therefore, she believed that her battle with Yoriichi Tsugikuni was simply a matter of enjoying the thrill of the fight.

Therefore, apart from that murderous aura, she didn't even use much of her psychic power during the battle.

However, at this moment, Bakushima Yako realized that she was wrong. Her sword skills, which she had always been proud of, were easily neutralized by her opponent, as if she were a child.

What made her even more uneasy was that with each of her opponent's parries, an irresistible force traveled along the blade, gently washing away the murderous aura emanating from her.

This made the violent but somewhat illusory killing intent more refined and composed.

"Although I don't know how you condensed that killing intent, but—"

Yoriichi Tsugikuni's calm voice came through: "It may be solid but not substantial. It may give you a great advantage in the first battle, but as the battle goes on, it will be easy for others to see through this feint."

"Blindly pursuing power will only lead to a pitiful situation like my brother, Tsugikuni Iwakatsu."

As soon as he finished speaking, his wrist suddenly sank.

The flames on the blade completely subsided and disappeared, and the Nichirin Blade returned to its original form.

He then slightly raised the blade and lightly slashed down at Dokushima.

There was no raging flame, nor a thunderous roar.

It was like a child chopping down roadside weeds with a stick.

Even such an ordinary slash made the hairs on Dokjima's entire body stand on end instantly.

The glint of the blade was reflected in Dokushima Yako's eyes.

This seemingly slow strike blocked all her escape routes, as if only this one strike remained in the world.

If she can't withstand this blow, then she—

Will I die?!

Dokushima's pupils suddenly contracted.

How could you?

I will accompany my junior, Su Yan, to the end of time.

How could I fall at this moment?

"So strong!"

Su Yan watched intently from the side.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni truly deserves to be called the pinnacle of combat power in the Demon Slayer world; his swordsmanship is far superior to that of the Pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps.

There were no fancy tricks or deliberate displays of skill, yet every movement subtly embodied the principles of swordsmanship.

Su Yan had to admit that he had indeed made the common mistake of transmigrators, looking down on the natives.

With Yoriichi Tsugikuni's impressive swordsmanship alone, unless he uses the powerful Nen he has cultivated in the Apocalypse world over the past two years to overcome skill with brute force, he would be outmatched.

Otherwise, even he might not be a match for Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

At this moment, seeing Yoriichi Tsugikuni about to strike Yoshiko Busujima, Su Yan was already prepared to make his move at any time.

Although Su Yan knew that if Tokushima Yako unleashed her full Nen power, blocking this attack would not be difficult for her.

However, Su Yan also knew very well what kind of person his senior sister Ya Zi was.

In terms of swordsmanship, Dokushima Yako also has her own pride, so when faced with this move, she will most likely only use the spirit slash in her hand and the killing intent on her body to retaliate.

Although Su Yan could understand Dokushima Yako's actions and wanted to respect her choice.

However, whether from an emotional or economic perspective, Su Yan absolutely cannot allow himself to lose Tokushima Yako.

So once it's confirmed that Busujima Yako can't withstand Yoriichi Tsugikuni's attack...

Su Yan: I will take action!

As the light of the Nichirin Blade drew closer, Dokushima Yako also sensed Su Yan's gaze behind her.

And the other person's concern for you.

At this moment, Dokushima Yako's heart became incredibly calm.

The scenes of the past two years spent with Su Yan flashed through her mind frame by frame.

When exactly did I start liking junior Su Yan?

Was it because of Su Yan's persistent companionship as he gradually approached her after joining the Kendo Club?

Was it on the night of the contract, when you resolutely told yourself that you were entrusting your future to him?

Perhaps it's a combination of both?

Dokushima Yako slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, then her eyes narrowed.

No matter what, as long as Junior Su Yan stands behind me, I will never lose!

Anything that stands in our way —

Even if it's a god, I'll kill it for you!!

Immediately afterwards, the hand holding the Spirit Slash tightened.

At that moment, the murderous aura emanating from the girl seemed to undergo some kind of qualitative change.

The red color, which originally represented bloodshed and slaughter, has been transformed into a purple color, unique to Bashojima, just like the spirit slash in her hand.

Then, he unleashed all the killing intent in his body onto the blade, and the Spirit Slash greedily devoured the vast purple killing intent.

Then, with a light, effortless slash, he swung his sword!

The glint of the blade reflected Yoriichi Tsugikuni's figure.

This is a strike that reaches the pinnacle of perfection!

It was also the most stunning strike she had made in the first half of her life!

Clang!

The Nichirin sword snapped in two!

Then, what came into view was Yoriichi Tsugikuni's smiling face.

"Excellent, a perfect cut!"

Before the satisfied smile on his face had completely faded, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's figure disappeared from the spot like a wisp of smoke.

He didn't even ask Su Yan and Busujima Yako's names from beginning to end.

They came suddenly, and they left just as suddenly.

Thank you, Mr. Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Watching Yoriichi Tsugikuni's figure disappear, Yako Busujima silently expressed her gratitude.

Then, turning around to look at Su Yan behind him, a bright smile appeared on his face: "Junior Su Yan, I did it!"

It wasn't just about defeating Yoriichi Tsugikuni with that amazing strike.

Furthermore, he truly digested the killing intent originally condensed from millions of zombies and made it his own.

A new Nen ability!!!
