Two Demon Slayers, their aura not weak, they are Pillars!
A crazy smile appeared on Akaza's lips, then his pupils reflected that blood-red figure. What was that? He couldn't feel any fighting spirit at all.
And he inexplicably felt a sense of fear!
It was as if he was facing That Lord. In hundreds of years, Akaza had never encountered such a thing before.
Kamihara Tetsuya said in a hoarse voice, "It's me!"
Akaza's face froze, and it took him a while to react, his face becoming even more fervent. "I thought you were dead long ago. Is this your Blood Demon Art?"
"Something like that," Kamihara Tetsuya said vaguely.
"Haha, it was indeed correct to turn you into a demon, Yasuo!" Akaza was overjoyed. How long had it been, and he could no longer discern the other party's strength.
Yasuo!
Sanemi Shinazugawa and Rengoku Kyoujurou heard this name, then reacted, their pupils shaking.
Yasuo, the demon who killed Flower Pillar Kocho Kanae!
Upper Moon Three Akaza was also one of the demons present at the scene where Flower Pillar Kocho Kanae was killed!
"Hehehe!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa's face was distorted, and he tightly gripped his nichirin blade, sneering, "My luck is really good today!"
His eyes were bloodshot and filled with veins, combined with the distorted Marks on his face, making him three times more terrifying than a demon.
This was revenge, and whether he could win was not even a consideration for him!
"First Form: Dust Whirlwind Cutter!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa took a step forward, his body enveloped in a whirlwind, attacking at super high speed, leaving behind rotating Feng Ren (Wind Blade) that could easily cut through the ground.
Bang!
Wherever he passed, the ground cracked.
"Destructive Kill: Compass Needle!"
Akaza sneered, a twelve-pointed snowflake array appearing beneath his feet, sensing the fighting spirit of everyone present.
Glancing at Kamihara Tetsuya, Akaza was a little surprised in his heart. It was truly strange; even after activating his technique, he still couldn't sense this guy's fighting spirit. Could it be that the other party had already reached the "Supreme Realm"?
His first reaction was that it was impossible.
One must know that the only person he knew who had comprehended the "Supreme Realm" was Upper Moon One Kokushibou, a chasm he could never cross.
"Destructive Kill: Empty Style!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa's move was too straightforward. Akaza easily dodged it with a backflip, then threw six consecutive punches into the void, causing the space to vibrate.
"Fifth Form: Cold Autumn Mountain Wind!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa swung a massive Feng Ren (Wind Blade) from above, rotating around himself, blocking the invisible punch.
Akaza's eyes lit up. "Not bad, this fighting spirit is almost comparable to that girl's!"
Kamihara Tetsuya's gaze shifted. When fighting Akaza, Kocho Kanae had activated her Mark. The current Sanemi Shinazugawa definitely couldn't compare.
However, though unintentional, Akaza was truly dancing on the blade's edge.
Veins bulged on Sanemi Shinazugawa's forehead, his killing intent overflowing. "Demon, I will definitely kill you!"
"Destructive Kill: Leg Style: Flying Roaming Star Wheel!"
"Eighth Form: First Fierce Wind Cut!"
Akaza and Sanemi Shinazugawa moved rapidly at the same time, dashing through the spacious plaza.
Akaza's figure was like a roaming meteor, its trajectory elusive, delivering continuous kicks that entwined with turbulent currents.
Sanemi Shinazugawa advanced with the speed of a fierce wind, circling Akaza and slashing around him, creating a powerful spiral Feng Ren (Wind Blade) that seemed to tear Akaza apart.
Bang!
The two collided fiercely, accompanied by a huge explosion, waves of air sweeping across all directions, the strong winds like sharp knives.
Akaza retreated to Kamihara Tetsuya's side, his body covered in scratches, like a bloodied person.
In terms of pure destructive power, Flower Breathing was far stronger than Wind Breathing.
But for Akaza, it was meaningless. The next moment, the wounds on his body healed as before.
Kamihara Tetsuya's heart sank. As expected, he was formidable.
The top three Upper Moon demons each had their own characteristics.
Upper Moon Three Akaza possessed the strongest physical combat abilities. Compared to other demons, his powerful physique was likely the closest to Kibutsuji Muzan's.
Of course, this "closest" was relative...
The recovery power of other demons might be three or four.
Akaza's was seven or eight.
And Kibutsuji Muzan's was ninety-five or above!
Looking at Sanemi Shinazugawa, he clearly suffered quite a bit in the recent exchange, with many wounds on his body, and he didn't have the recovery power of a demon.
If he continued to fight, he would undoubtedly die!
If he was lucky, he might survive by holding out until the sun came up.
Anyway, it was none of Kamihara Tetsuya's business. He wasn't the Demon Slayer Corps' babysitter.
Moreover, he didn't have the qualifications or ability to be a babysitter. Among the two Pillars and one Upper Moon here, he couldn't defeat any of them; he could only protect himself.
But before running away, he had to clarify one thing.
Kamihara Tetsuya asked curiously, "Akaza, why are you here?"
Kibutsuji Muzan's main focus was still on finding the blue spider lily and destroying the Demon Slayer Corps.
To kill a Tamayo, Kibutsuji Muzan would have to be extremely bored to send an Upper Moon, and Akaza at that.
Akaza said, "The fugitive Tamayo, you should have heard of her, otherwise you wouldn't be here."
"Mm." Kamihara Tetsuya nodded.
Akaza said coldly, "Like that Tamayo, a second fugitive has appeared!"
Kamihara Tetsuya's heart skipped a beat. A second fugitive? A demon who had broken free from Kibutsuji Muzan's control!
No wonder Akaza was sent.
One fugitive was an accident, but two fugitives meant that something uncontrollable was happening.
If they could gain freedom, those demons would eagerly want to break free from Kibutsuji Muzan's control.
For Kibutsuji Muzan, even though these demons were just tools for finding the blue spider lily and dealing with the Demon Slayer Corps, he would never allow anyone to challenge him.
"So she appeared here?"
Kamihara Tetsuya asked cautiously, wondering if he was referring to him and Kocho Kanae?
"Mm!" Akaza replied casually.
"Second Form: Claw-Claw: Koto Wind!"
No sooner said than done, Sanemi Shinazugawa charged forward again, interrupting their conversation.
Kamihara Tetsuya stepped back, shielding Akaza in front of him.
Akaza and Sanemi Shinazugawa resumed their fierce battle.
Taking advantage of Akaza holding back Sanemi Shinazugawa, Kamihara Tetsuya decisively ran away. You give way!
Seeing the demon who killed Flower Pillar Kocho Kanae trying to escape, Sanemi Shinazugawa's face became even more distorted.
However, he was spread too thin.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, under immense pressure from Akaza, roared, "Rengoku! Chase after him and kill that demon! This is a Pillar's order!"
Rengoku Kyoujurou would soon be promoted to a Pillar after slaying a Lower Moon demon, but at least for now, he wasn't yet.
"I know!"
Rengoku Kyoujurou picked up his nichirin blade and chased after him.
After a chase, Rengoku Kyoujurou successfully cornered Kamihara Tetsuya on another street.
