That carefree attitude.
It was as if the other party was not a mortal enemy, but a close friend who went to Kabuki theater to drink and chat.
This is precisely the central topic of our discussion—
Narukami Natsuhiko!
Boom boom boom——
The air is vibrating!
A powerful aura erupted from Kokushibo.
It seemed like a harbinger of an impending landslide and tsunami, or like the billowing smoke rising before a volcanic eruption.
It was just an outburst of energy, but the terrifying feeling it gave was as if every cell in your body was implanted with the idea that you would die if you moved!
In the dazed house, it seemed as if a pair of scarlet pupils, engraved with the characters "上弦" (upper moon) and "壹" (one), were infinitely magnified before me.
The Tokito brothers instantly froze, as if they had entered some kind of stress response.
My mind went completely blank.
My body felt incredibly heavy, as if the surrounding air itself had become a tight, heavy burden.
Just standing up took all my strength.
"Hey hey hey~, your enthusiastic attitude towards hunting demons is commendable~ But, going straight for Upper Moon One is a bit too hasty~"
"I've told you before, kids should act like kids."
"This is the adults' world now, little kids better leave!"
Despite standing right behind Kokushibo, Xia Yan seemed completely oblivious, remaining relaxed and at ease.
It was only from the bulging veins on Kokushibo's neck, his slightly trembling body, and the bulging veins on his arms that one could tell.
Kokushibo was still standing there, doing nothing, clearly not acting on his own initiative.
"Alright, go that way and find the adults~" Xia Yan said flippantly, pointing in a direction with his free hand.
If you continue in that direction, you might encounter the Wind Serpent duo, or the Rock Sound duo.
However, this is only a general direction.
Who it will be depends on luck.
After all, although he could see through the entire Infinite City, he didn't have the ability to control the whole situation. They were all moving around and couldn't give detailed instructions.
As for the direction of Muzan's location, Xia Yan did not reveal it.
Although interrupting Muzan's cocooning state in advance can preserve more toxins, it also diverts his energy from his focused state of detoxification.
It can observe the movements within the Infinite City.
Meanwhile, Kanae and Tamayo were on their way to Nakime's location to complete Natsuhiko's arrangements.
According to Xia Yan's estimation, it will take approximately seven to ten minutes.
If Muzan wakes up prematurely and discovers Nakime's abnormality, he might kill her beforehand, causing the Infinity Castle to go out of control and disappear.
That will be very troublesome.
Given the enhanced effects of the toxins, which are several times stronger than those in the original story, even if he tries his best to break them down, he won't be able to eliminate them in a short time.
So they decided not to let anyone disturb Muzan and let him sleep like this for the time being.
Seemingly influenced by Natsuhiko's nonchalant attitude, Ichiro and Muichiro also broke free from Kokushibo's spiritual pressure.
Although I know that staying would only be a burden, I am reluctant to leave.
Ichiro asked hesitantly, "You... can you win...?"
Although he knew that Xia Yan was very strong, his opponent was, after all, one of the Upper Moon Ones.
Although they only exchanged one blow, it made the Tokito brothers realize just how much of a monster the Upper Moons are.
Even just the sheer aura was enough to immobilize him.
Therefore, even though he knew that Xia Yan had the feat of killing Upper Moon Three on his own, he still couldn't help but worry.
However, what Ichiro said surprised Natsuhiko.
Good guy,
You didn't forget to set a goal for yourself before leaving, did you?
Is this an attempt to make him a viral sensation?
If I were to actually say that, wouldn't I become like Lao Yan if I lost?
Could it be that after gaining a decisive advantage, he will suddenly become Kunyan in the next second?
How can it be! ?
If it were Muzan at his peak, leading the Twelve Demon Moons to besiege him, it might be a bit tricky.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to care about me. You look much cuter than before~"
Thinking of his own strength and the trump cards he had kept hidden until now, Xia Yan still wore a confident smile.
He said the same thing as that invincible teacher.
"I will win."
Hearing Xia Yan's confident words, Yuichiro and Muichiro gave him a deep look and left in the direction he pointed out.
Chapter 437 You are the challenger!
Watching the Tokito brothers' departing figures, Natsuhiko released his grip on Kokushibo.
Kokushibo, showing great sportsmanship, did not take the opportunity to attack, but instead slowly turned around.
Eight eyes meet.
A faint spark of electricity crackled in the air.
“Narukami Tsuki… Natsuhiko…” Kokushibo uttered Natsuhiko’s full name haltingly. “To be able to kill Akaza… you do indeed… have the strength to challenge me…”
"Hmph—" Xia Yan's slightly disdainful sneer was the only response he received.
"The first Upper Moon seems surprisingly slow."
"Um……?"
Black Death Eyes looked somewhat puzzled.
But the next second, he realized why Xia Yan had said those words.
tick-
The sound of blood dripping could be heard.
Black Death Eyes looked down.
All that could be seen was his right hand, which was resting on the hilt of the knife, which had somehow been severed at the elbow!
"Judging from your apparent misunderstanding, I'll explain it to you..." Xia Yan pointed a finger at Kokushibo, his expression confident and arrogant as he spoke:
"You're the challenger!"
"..."
Kokushibo did not reply, but his heart was already in turmoil.
Although it took less than a second for his arm to regenerate, this attack, which he couldn't even see with his own eyes, left him with a myriad of thoughts.
Was the knife swung after I spoke?
But how did it manage to slip through the gap in my field of vision?
Could it be that……
Can those eyes also see the world as I see it?
Moreover, there was nothing wrong with either blood circulation or lung respiration; only in this way could they deceive my eyes!
Although countless thoughts flashed through Kokushibo's mind, in reality, only a moment had passed.
"I was just saying hello to you."
Xia Yan slowly drew his ornate Nichirin Blade.
"Hey, draw your sword, just you and me!"
The long-lost pressure came rushing in, a suffocating feeling like a python coiling around him, even making Kokushibo feel like he was drenched in sweat.
Kokushibo also drew his weapon.
The alien blade named "The Crying God".
The blade, hilt, and guard were covered with eyeballs, and the blade was over two meters long, even longer than the two people facing each other.
Built from his own blood and bones, it can regenerate instantly even if broken.
The blade also has intersecting edges, making it more like seven knives used in a ritual than a weapon.
Xia Yan has already demonstrated his strength, making it clear to Kokushibo that he is no opponent to be underestimated. If he still harbors a testing mentality...
will die!
The next second, without any warning.
Xia Yan and Kokushibo attacked at the same time!
"Storm Breathing - First Form - Divine Speed".
A lightning-fast slash that is derived from the Breath of Lightning and absorbs all its essence!
The sword rang out without the slightest sound of wind being cut!
This sword has severed the sound!
The sword flashed down instantly, leaving a dazzling trail of light in the air, giving no one a chance to react.
An overly rapid strike can create the illusion that the speed is actually quite slow.
