Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 283 The Exhausted Blood Demon Technique?

Shinazugawa Genya's face turned red, whether from the immense energy contained in Ikuko's hair or from sheer rage, he had a distorted expression reminiscent of Muzan when Yoriichi cut him down.

Yuko thought it should be the latter.

"I'm going to kill you, you woman." Shinazugawa Genya gasped for breath, his whole body radiating an aura of resentment.

"I really didn't mean it, please, please." Yu Zi rarely showed an embarrassed expression, and apologized by putting her hands together.

Genya Shinazugawa was trembling with rage. If he hadn't realized that Yuko hadn't done it on purpose, he would have fought this woman to the death.

Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "Blood Demon Art that can control people sounds very dangerous~"

Yuko managed to calm Genya Shinazugawa down, but when she heard Shinobu Kocho's words, she didn't know how to respond.

“I promise I won’t use it on anyone.” Yuko held up four fingers. “I swear.”

Then she glanced at Shinobu Kocho with a speechless expression, hoping that she would stop causing trouble for her.

Shinazugawa Genya finally calmed down, but his eyes were not very friendly.

Yu Zi broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to say another word.

He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, alright, let's get started."

As a man of few words but ruthless courage, Kanao decisively took two steps back and drew her Nichirin Blade from her waist.

Tanjiro: "Eh? With a real sword?"

Kanao gave him a strange look: "Is there a problem?"

"...No, I haven't."

They used to use real knives often, but lately I've seen them using wooden knives so much that I instinctively replied.

"Alright, don't be angry, let's train first." Yuko awkwardly urged Shinazugawa Genya, who was standing still.

Shinazugawa Genya walked to the corner, his eyes fixed on Yuko without blinking, making Yuko's scalp tingle.

Tanjiro took a deep breath, then stepped back to Kanao's side and focused intently.

"Be careful." Shinobu Kocho nodded to Yuko when she saw that they were all ready.

Although Ikuko is now difficult to kill completely, Shinobu Kocho is always exceptionally serious about such matters.

Shinobu Kocho's figure moved nimbly, like a butterfly in flight, landing in a corner where several people surrounded Ikuko.

Genya Shinazugawa sensed the changes within his body.

Strong, too strong.

Despite some resistance to what had just happened, Genya Shinazugawa, who was slightly aware of the changes in his body, suddenly felt that being controlled wasn't entirely unacceptable.

It was a powerful feeling I had never experienced before when devouring other evil spirits.

Genya Shinazugawa clenched his fists, as if one could sense a powerful force emanating from them.

Tanjiro exhaled a peculiar hissing sound, and a wisp of orange light flowed out with each breath.

"Miss Yuko, I'm here."

He raised his head, and the markings on his forehead were etched like tattoos.

Tanjiro is currently the second member of the Demon Slayer Corps, after Ikuko, to have his Demon Slayer Mark permanently displayed.

Even the other pillars that have already activated their markings do not possess such talent.

In fact, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tanjiro will be the first person in this era to awaken his Demon Slayer Mark.

He is indeed very talented in this area.

"Well, bring it on." Yuko drew her Nichirin Blade from her waist, a faint smile playing on her lips.

She is also very curious about her current abilities.

"Breath of the Sun, First Form, Waltz!"

The moment the question and answer ended, Tanjiro, who was not far away to begin with, transformed into an orange streak and appeared in front of Yuko in the blink of an eye. His sword, encased in orange flames, blazed fiercely as he slashed at her, as if he were about to behead her in an instant.

Yuko's eyes widened slightly, as if she hadn't quite caught off guard, and she instinctively backed away.

But the blade still grazed Yuko's neck.

Tanjiro paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face.

He looked like he was about to strike Miss Yuko, but...

Tanjiro hesitated whether to stop, because he never expected to hit Ikuko.

Seeing his expression, Yuko knew he couldn't bear it, even though she had said countless times that she wouldn't die even if she were beheaded by the Nichirin Blade.

Yoriichi, the one who initiated the Breath of the Sun and whose naturally translucent markings have already proven this point.

Just as Tanjiro was stunned, the blade was already unstoppable, and it slashed through Yuko's throat.

Hot blood immediately gushed out.

Seeing the image of Yuko's wounds, Shinobu's heart skipped a beat. Even though she knew Yuko wouldn't die from it, she was still startled.

"What?" Shinazugawa Genya was still immersed in his own powerful strength when he looked up and saw the scene of Yuuko being injured by Tanjiro. His eyes widened immediately.

Are you kidding me?

Did that hit the mark?

No one understands Yuuko's current strength better than Genya Shinazugawa; a single strand of hair is enough to transform him completely.

If Tanjiro were to strike him with his sword, Shinazugawa Genya would immediately swallow all the hair that Ikuko had given him.

To add to the excitement of Tanjiro's battle in which the originator of the Breath of the Sun defeated Muzan Kibutsuji.

Shocked, Genya Shinazugawa's expression suddenly changed.

Just as Tanjiro was hesitating whether to stop and check on Ikuko's condition, he suddenly heard a sharp shout.

"Careful! Tanjiro!"

"What...?" Tanjiro suddenly got goosebumps and subconsciously looked around, his pupils shrinking sharply.

All around him, he found himself surrounded by concentric circles of red lines.

This is……!!!

"The Blood Demon Art of the Exhausted?!" Tanjiro's face showed shock.

Yuko covered the wound on her neck with one hand, her face showing a gentle expression.

The knife wound on her neck had completely healed from her loosely clenched fingers, leaving not a trace of blood.

Tanjiro has grown up...

The actions just now were swift and decisive, showing the demeanor of a master.

The thin lines of blood surrounded Tanjiro, reminding him of Rui, the Lower Moon Five, whom he had encountered on Spider Mountain.

Blood Demon Art, as fine as spider silk.

but……

Tanjiro observed the blood threads that swirled around him like silken threads and exclaimed in alarm, "Something's not right. Rei's Blood Demon Art isn't this agile."

These blood-like lines are like living things, completely different from the silk threads.

Yu Zi tilted her head, looking puzzled, and asked, "Aren't you going to run away?"

"Huh?" Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat.

“In that case, your body will immediately fall to pieces.” Yu Zi gestured, slightly clenching her loosely clenched fingers, “torn to shreds.”

"Breath of Flowers - Second Form: Mikage Plum!"

At this moment, Kanao moved, her Nichirin Blade flashing rapidly, pink sword energy surging towards the blood lines as if to shatter them.

however.

When the sharp tip of the blade touched the bloodline, the thin line of blood was bent and collapsed by the blade, but there was no sign of it breaking.

Instead, after reaching the limit of Kanao's strength, he resiliently sent Kanao flying, who was rushing towards him with the momentum.
