The other pillars could only agree or disagree, and even Giyu Tomioka didn't say anything more.
The situation is on the verge of erupting.
The next moment, before Kamado Tanjiro could react, the Sound Hashira, Uzui Tengen, had already appeared in front of Kamado Tanjiro.
During this process, his Nichirin Blade, without hesitation or the slightest pity, slashed down at Tanjiro Kamado's neck.
Just then, a faint murmur rang out, "Water Breathing, Twelfth Form - Wave Blast..."
......
Chapter 527 Overwhelming Killing Intent, Chen Anxia Arrives! (Please Subscribe!)
Only the Sound Pillar - Yu Sui Tian Yuan heard this faint murmur.
Because the faint murmur came from Kamado Tanjiro.
As the Pillars delivered their judgments, Tanjiro Kamado seemed to sense something, and one hand quietly gripped the Nichirin Blade tucked at his waist.
At the moment when Tengen Uzui launched his attack, Tanjiro Kamado seemed to feel as if he had entered a special perspective.
Within this field of vision, the speed and movements of Yu Sui Tian Yuan, which he had previously been unable to see clearly, suddenly became clearly visible.
Within this perspective, Tanjiro Kamado instinctively chose the Wave Burst sword technique to respond to Tengen Uzui's slash.
This was the optimal choice made by the body's instinct, and it was also believed that among the techniques mastered by Tanjiro Kamado, only the Naniwa Blast could respond to Tengen Uzui's slash.
The next moment, to Uzui Tengen's incredulous gaze, Kamado Tanjiro actually used his Nichirin Blade to block his attack with a thrust instead of a slash.
Before Yu Suitianyuan could think further, he felt a surge of power, like a raging storm, suddenly come crashing down on him.
Under the impact of this force, Uzui Tengen couldn't help but stagger several times, his body constantly retreating.
Not only that, the ornate ornaments hanging on the headband of the Uzui Tengen were also smashed to pieces by this force.
All of this was naturally observed by the other eight pillars present.
Like Yu Suitianyuan, their eyes also revealed disbelief and incredulity.
They could hardly believe that a newcomer who had just passed the final test of the Demon Slayer not only blocked the attack of Uzui Tengen, who was the Sound Pillar, but also made Uzui Tengen look so disheveled.
The scene was so shocking that even Shinobu Kocho, who had maintained a gentle smile, couldn't help but stop smiling and asked with a shocked expression, "He just used the Water Breathing Technique, didn't he?"
As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho couldn't help but look at Giyu Tomioka beside her and continued to ask, "Hey, Giyu, is there such a sword technique in the Water Breathing method?"
At this moment, Giyu Tomioka was no less shocked than anyone else.
Giyu Tomioka was certain that Tanjiro Kamado had just used the Water Breathing Technique, but he didn't know the type of sword Tanjiro Kamado used.
As the current Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Giyu Tomioka's strength has surpassed that of his predecessor, Sakonji Urokodaki.
Furthermore, based on his own understanding of the Water Breathing Technique, Giyu Tomioka created the unprecedented Water Breathing Eleventh Form - Nagi.
It can also be said that Giyu Tomioka's mastery of the Water Breathing Technique has surpassed that of previous Water Pillars and is approaching that of the creator of the Water Breathing Technique.
But even someone as skilled as Giyu Tomioka was unaware of the type of sword Tanjiro Kamado used. How could this not deeply shock Giyu Tomioka?
This also means that this sword shape was very likely created by Tanjiro Kamado himself.
As for whether it was created by Urokodaki Sakon...
Giyu Tomioka knew that if that were the case, then he would definitely know this sword type.
Because he was Urokodaki Sakonji's disciple, it was that simple.
In the arena, Tengen Uzui regained his senses, and his eyes, which were fixed on Tanjiro Kamado, gradually revealed excitement. He exclaimed with high spirits, "Interesting, very interesting!"
"Young man, let's have a magnificent battle! If you can defeat me, I will cancel your trial!"
Tanjiro Kamado had already left that magical field of vision and was now looking at Tengen Uzui, slightly out of breath.
Upon hearing Tengen Uzui's words, Tanjiro Kamado remained silent and immediately assumed a fighting stance as his response.
Seeing this, Tengen Uzui smiled wickedly and, without hesitation, launched another attack on Tanjiro Kamado.
Meanwhile, Tanjiro Kamado desperately tries to re-enter that magical world of vision.
Tanjiro Kamado didn't know what that mysterious vision was, but he knew that only by re-entering that mysterious vision could he have any hope of defeating Tengen Uzui.
Unfortunately, that magical view was fleeting, and no matter how hard Tanjiro Kamado tried, he could not enter it again.
Under these circumstances, Tanjiro Kamado could only rely on his extraordinary sense of smell to try his best to avoid Tengen Uzui's attacks.
In just a few breaths, Tanjiro Kamado's body was covered with wounds of varying sizes and depths.
But Tanjiro Kamado's face remained resolute, showing no sign of giving up.
Upon seeing this, Uzui Tengen frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Why do you think I'm going to have a grand battle with you?"
"Hurry up and show me the strength you just displayed, or I'll get serious!"
Tanjiro Kamado knew that Tengen Uzui was telling the truth, and also knew that Tengen Uzui wasn't serious.
Because Usui Tengen hadn't even used the breathing technique yet.
This was undoubtedly a despairing fact for Tanjiro Kamado, but he did not give up and continued to try to enter that magical world.
The eight pillars stood by and watched Uzui Tengen's 'foolishness' without stopping him.
Clearly, they were also curious about the fleeting yet powerful strength that Tanjiro Kamado had displayed.
After several more attacks, Uzui Tengen looked at Kamado Tanjiro, who still hadn't been able to unleash his full power, and seemed to understand something. His face immediately showed a look of realization and boredom, and he said, "So it was just a fleeting moment of potential activation."
"Boring, it's really incredibly boring."
"Let this battle end."
"Young man, as recognition of your fleeting power, let me use my breathing technique to gloriously end your life!"
As he spoke, Uzui Tengen gripped his twin swords and shouted, "Sound Breathing - First Form..."
Just as Yu Sui Tian Yuan was about to unleash his breathing technique, he seemed to sense something and his gaze suddenly turned in one direction.
Not only the Eight Pillars, but also all of them looked in the same direction, their faces showing shock.
There, in their eyes, they saw a murderous aura so intense it could dye the sky blood red.
Even though they were pillars, they couldn't help but feel fear under this murderous aura.
This fear, like a leech, seeped into their very souls, causing every cell in their bodies to scream, to sound the alarm, and to go mad.
But strangely, this overwhelming killing intent disappeared in an instant.
However, although the overwhelming killing intent had disappeared, it left Jiuzhu with lingering fear, which he found difficult to calm down for a long time.
After a moment, Jiuzhu finally calmed down his turbulent emotions.
Immediately, the Nine Pillars began to discuss the matter of the overwhelming killing intent.
As for Tanjiro Kamado and his sister, as well as the trial of the Pillars, they have been temporarily ignored by the nine Pillars.
Clearly, for them, the overwhelming killing intent was the most important thing.
Just then, a figure quietly appeared in the courtyard and said to Tanjiro Kamado, who was covered in wounds and nearing his limit, "Tanjiro, you did a great job. Leave the rest to me."
This figure was none other than Chen Anxia.
Chen Anxia's words struck Jiuzhu like a bolt from the blue, sending chills down their spines. They all turned to look at Chen Anxia, who had appeared out of nowhere, their eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and astonishment.
Because they didn't even notice Chen Anxia's presence!

Chapter 528 The natural barrier claims its name is... Chen Anxia! (Please subscribe!)
Inside Kagaya Ubuyashiki's house.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki fell into a coma due to a sudden onset of his illness.
Ubuyashiki Amane was focused on protecting Ubuyashiki Kagaya at this moment and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
This resulted in the absence of Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who should have appeared much earlier.
Naturally, the unconscious Kagaya Ubuyashiki was unable to stop the Nine Pillars from judging Tanjiro Kamado.
This is also the main reason why Tanjiro Kamado almost perished at the hands of the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui.
Not long ago, at the moment that overwhelming killing intent appeared, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who was originally unconscious, seemed to sense something, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his whole body was covered in sweat.
As Ubuyashiki Amane was at a loss and was about to summon the Insect Pillar, Kocho Shinobu, Ubuyashiki Kagaya suddenly opened his mouth and said in an extremely weak voice, "Amane, it should be time, right? Help me out quickly."
Seeing this, Ubuyashiki Amane hesitated and said, "But, your body..."
Upon seeing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki gently comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just need to take care of myself afterward."
As he spoke, Kagaya Ubuyashiki turned his blind eyes precisely towards the direction outside, towards the direction from which the murderous aura was emanating, and said with worry and unease, "Help me out..."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki did not tell Amane Ubuyashiki that during her recent unconsciousness, she had suddenly seen a scene.
In that scene, an indistinct figure stood holding a knife, looking up at the sun.
Around this figure lay the nine pillars, their fate unknown.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki didn't know why he suddenly saw such a scene.
However, this scene gave Kagaya Ubuyashiki a great sense of foreboding, as if it were foreshadowing a bad future.
It was this very scene that instantly jolted Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who had been unconscious, awake.
Ubuyashiki Amane sensed the worry and unease in Ubuyashiki Kagaya's words. She didn't know what had happened, but she didn't ask any questions and simply obeyed Ubuyashiki Kagaya's words.
On the other side, at the place of judgment of the pillars.
Having reached his limit, panting heavily, and with his vision beginning to blur, Tanjiro Kamado murmured to himself, "Nezuko, I'm afraid I can no longer protect you..."
Clearly, Tanjiro Kamado had already foreseen his future and was prepared to die.
Nezuko Kamado, who was sleeping soundly in the large wooden box carried by Tanjiro Kamado, was having a dream.
In the dream, a familiar and gentle voice was anxiously urging me to wake up.
"Nezuko, wake up! Your brother is in danger..."
"I'm so sorry, it's my fault for not being able to protect you..."
