After traveling through Demon Slayer, is it possible to survive?

Chapter 174 The Final Road - Part 1

Akaza's attack's range and power are dozens of times greater than before. Its power, speed, and reach have all increased significantly, making it impossible to dodge!

Besides...Akaza wanted to ensure that he could use this trick to get rid of Tanjiro, or to force himself into a desperate situation and thus achieve a breakthrough.

Therefore, Akaza was destroying his own body, punching with all his might, ignoring the pain of torn muscles and broken bones, until he lost all consciousness!

"Complete Collection·God of Fire Kagura·Kukai Enkou!"

Tanjiro's expression showed a hint of surprise, but soon turned calm. In an instant, he changed the way he held the knife, holding the handle with both hands, inserted the tip of the knife into the ground, and then leaned over.

In an instant, the white flames with a hint of red spread out, covering Tanjiro's entire body, and burning in a spiral shape formed a column of fire that shot up into the sky!

Almost all of the sword techniques in Day Breathing are offensive moves, and there are no defensive moves, but you can modify the posture slightly to achieve the desired effect.

The flames perfectly withstood the impact, but it was not certain that they could maintain this state. The breathing in the lungs began to become rapid, and the physical strength was constantly declining.

And looking at Akaza's appearance, it is impossible to predict when he will stop.

Suddenly, Tanjiro seemed to have thought of something. Looking at Kyojuro's position, he forgot that Kyojuro was also within the attack range because the situation was too urgent!

Although Tanjiro is not that confident that he can "protect" the pillar with just one breakthrough, but...

When Tanjiro was getting anxious, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his body and mind, which actually soothed his anxiety.

"What's this?"

Tanjiro couldn't help but lower his eyes to look at his body. The structure of his body appeared in his eyes, clearer than before. He even predicted the moment when his muscles trembled unconsciously.

But Tanjiro didn't have time to think about it. The most urgent thing was Kyojuro's safety. He then looked in Kyojuro's direction again, but saw an unbelievable scene.

At this moment, Tanjiro's eyes had penetrated the flames and saw Kyojuro. After discovering that there was no danger, Tanjiro felt relieved.

At this time, I also discovered something strange about Kyojuro. His heart was beating violently, and strange objects appeared on his body. They were sharp and angular, and they were tightly attached to Kyojuro's body. That appearance...

It's armor! The armor made of flames enveloped Kyojuro!

"Brother Rengoku! How are you now? Are you okay??" Seeing this abnormality, Tanjiro couldn't help but worry and asked.

"I'm fine, boy!" Kyojuro responded quickly and continued after a brief pause.

"I'm fine now! My heart is a little hot, but it feels great. I... feel great now!"

Kyojuro's tone was different from before, he seemed more excited and thrilled.

But what remains the same is that the tone is still full of bright and cheerful feeling, without any attenuation.

After a while, the violent impact gradually subsided, Akaza's attack stopped, and he stood there with his head lowered and his body bent.

It looked like a dead, rotten tree, lifeless and almost dead?!

The sudden calm caused subtle noises to echo around them. The moment the attack stopped, the two men felt a sense of exhaustion spread throughout their bodies. They staggered to the ground, gasping for breath.

Tanjiro exited the state of the transparent world. He had already understood the trick, but his body could no longer support him to open the transparent world.

The fatigue, pain, and the palpitations that came with it made him break out in a cold sweat.

Of course, the same thing happened to Kyojuro standing beside him.

The explanation for this phenomenon can be found in human physiology: the supply of adrenaline has stopped.

Tanjiro frowned and rubbed his eyes hard with his hands, because after the transparent world effect was lifted, his vision suddenly became blurred and became more serious.

Kyojuro also showed abnormal symptoms. He felt his heart heating up and boiling, and then gradually turned into a stabbing pain, which hurt with every beat of his heart.

"Brother Purgatory, are you okay?"

Although Tanjiro's vision became very blurry, his sense of smell was not affected, so he realized that Kyojuro seemed to be more dangerous.

But before Kyojuro could reply, Tanjiro suddenly smelled an extremely dangerous and complex scent, and from that direction... it was the scent coming from the lifeless Akaza!!

Tanjiro frowned and tried his best to look at Akaza in front of him, but his vision was so blurry that he couldn't see clearly what had changed.

However, some differences were also noticed. Akaza's hands, which were originally hanging down, seemed to be raised up and pointing in a certain direction.

Immediately afterwards, a loud noise came from that direction. It was the sound of a beating heart. Then, a breath covering the entire space was heard. It was a breath full of the smell of blood!

"Young man, prepare for battle!" Kyojuro endured the pain, stood up after speaking, tightly gripped the Nichirin Sword, and faced Akaza in front of him.

"Okay, big brother!" Tanjiro took a deep breath and tried his best to use the breathing method to the best condition. Although he was still a little shaky, he still stood up holding the Nichirin Sword tightly.

Akaza felt the powerful force coming from his body at this moment. He could clearly see how powerful he was at the moment without even trying to feel it.

“Sure enough, this is my path!”

After he finished speaking, Akaza seemed to have recovered some memories, memories of when he was still a human.

And that flickering image showed him slaughtering a group of humans wearing white Taoist robes and holding wooden swords...

"Did something like this happen to me when I was still human?"

"boring......"

Akaza didn't care about what happened in that memory, and it could even be said that it was expected. Because in the hundred years of light and shadow as a ghost, he had already determined that he was an out-and-out villain.

There is no need to fight now, and time is wasted on these boring memories. Now is the time to kill those guys who have been struggling for a long time.

"Come on, Kyojuro and Tanjiro, how are you going to kill the perfect me now?"
