Chapter 172 A transparent world!
“You, you bastard!!”
Tanjiro's face became extremely ferocious, his anger kept accumulating, and he blamed himself at the same time, blaming himself for not being able to go faster, which might...
No... Even if I come faster, it will be useless. Because the smell emitted by Akaza in front of me at this moment is completely different from before. It's as if there is an invisible aura pressing on me, and I will die in the next moment!
"It shouldn't be like this. I'm the one who should die. I'm the one who dragged Mr. Giyuu down..." Tanjiro said in a lost voice.
Tanjiro's heart was twitching violently due to the anger covered by self-blame and guilt. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and slid down his face. He hated himself... Why was he so weak? !
"Hey, Tanjiro, what's with that expression on your face? Your Giyuu-san is not dead yet." Akaza suddenly spoke up, smiling as he continued, "Thank you for telling me his name. I thought I would regret it, after all, he was the first human I had such a great time beating."
"..."
After hearing what Akaza said, Tanjiro's mood remained unchanged, because he had already sensed through the smell that Giyuu was still alive, but so what, could he save him?
Or...can I still get out of here alive?
"I won't run away... Even though I'm weak and don't have the confidence to save Mr. Giyuu, I won't run away." Tanjiro's words confirmed his choice and stopped his sadness, because now was not the time to shed tears.
"The look in your eyes has changed, which is commendable. But the fact that you are weak has not changed!" Seeing the change in Tanjiro's aura, Akaza became interested and chose to have a battle with Tanjiro.
In just a moment, Akaza appeared in front of Tanjiro and raised his foot to knee him.
Sonorous!
"God of Fire Kagura!"
Tanjiro used the blade of his sword to block the knee strike and dodged the subsequent oncoming punch, then he moved sideways to create distance and unleashed his sword moves towards Ikkoza's arm.
"Kagura, the God of Fire, Round Dance!"
The arc-shaped slash wrapped in red flames slashed down vertically, cutting off Akaza's arm in just a moment.
"Interesting, but still not enough!" Akaza was briefly shocked when he saw Tanjiro cut off his arm.
But a new arm instantly grew out of the wound, but it did not choose to attack. Instead, it closed the distance and raised its right foot.
"Destruction Kill·Kick Style·Flowing Flash Group Light."
Akaza launched several fierce attacks with one foot in the same direction of Tanjiro. Each kick had extremely powerful destructive power and made a loud explosion.
"Kagura, the God of Fire, Sun-Phantom Rainbow!"
Tanjiro did not choose to take it head-on. Instead, he strengthened his lower limb strength and used spacing to perform high-speed twisting and spinning to evade the attack in a specialized dodge dance.
Tanjiro perfectly dodged Akaza's attack, and after leaving a phantom afterimage, he flashed behind him. But Akaza's dynamic vision was very good, and he saw Tanjiro's movement trajectory clearly.
"Destruction Kill·Foot Style·Crown First Cut."
Akaza lowered his body, and kicked backwards from top to bottom, aiming at Tanjiro's head, delivering a powerful kick.
Tanjiro didn't have time to dodge or use the Nichirin Sword to block. In a desperate effort to heal himself, he had to lower his head and use his forehead to take the powerful kick.
boom--!
At this moment, there was a sound of hard objects colliding. Tanjiro blocked it, but at the same time, his brain was confused by the strong attack, and some blood spurted out of his mouth and nose.
But at the same time, he was knocked into the air.
"Interesting, this feeling is as if it's sticking to steel. Your skull is really unusually hard!" Akaza said in surprise. At the same time, he recalled the feeling of kicking Tanjiro on the forehead and couldn't help but find it a little interesting.
"With no foothold in the air, how are you going to resist this move?"
Akaza turned around, stretched out his hands towards Tanjiro who was still floating in the air, and launched a series of scattered attacks at Tanjiro from all directions!
"Destruction Kill·Ghost Core Eightfold Core!"
This move was like a mountain and sea roaring towards Tanjiro. The dense punches left no room for escape, and Tanjiro couldn't even move a bit at this moment!
"Kagura, God of Fire, Bone-Scorching Sun!"
Tanjiro had no choice but to twist his body slightly to release sword skills with a slight rotation. The Nichirin Sword released one flaming slash after another as his arms rotated, forming a continuously rotating and forward-moving flaming ring!
The two powerful attacks collided with each other, canceling each other out and causing a strong collision, before finally breaking apart together.
Tanjiro's whole body flew backwards, and finally stopped when the Nichirin Sword was inserted into the ground. Akaza was still standing there, but at this moment he covered the wound on his chest left by Giyuu with his hand, gritted his teeth and smiled evilly.
"Good, well done, Tanjiro!" Akaza said loudly, expressing his approval of Tanjiro.
"If this is all you can do, you can't stop me. If this is your full strength, Giyuu will really die." Akaza said, and used the fact that Giyuu was in a very dangerous state to stimulate Tanjiro to see if he was using his full strength.
[“No, his strength is not at the same level at all, and he is even far behind. Moreover, he seems to know every move I make, as if he can accurately predict what I will use, where I will be, and where I will attack!”]
Tanjiro gritted his teeth, stood up, pulled out the Nichirin Sword that was stuck in the ground, took a defensive stance, and recalled the time when Kyojuro, Giyuu, and his current self were fighting against Ikawaza.
In an instant, Tanjiro discovered special words from his memory, fighting spirit, murderous intent, compass, perception, and the supreme realm, connecting all of this together. Tanjiro understood!
[“The only things that can help me regain my advantage now are what my father told me and the ‘transparent world’ that Yoriichi possesses!”] Having found a way, Tanjiro concentrated his mind, faced Akaza, focused on one point and slowly concentrated his other senses.
In the days after Tanjiro passed the intensive training, he told Yoriichi Tsugakuni about what happened to his father that night and the transparent world that his father mentioned.
After hearing this, Ji Guoyuan knew that it was a transparent world. It was achieved by concentrating and shutting down unnecessary senses. In this state, the body of a creature would appear transparent, and its movement speed as well as the ability to predict and avoid attacks would be significantly improved.
At the same time, I was very surprised that Tanjiro knew this, and I also had a strong interest in Tanjiro's father, but unfortunately I can't meet him.
From that day on, in addition to normal training, Tanjiro also had an additional training for the transparent world. Tsugikuni Yoriichi also thought about telling the method of the transparent world to other members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
However, since the transparent world requires a high degree of concentration, it will put a great burden on the body after use, so only people with markings can support it.
However, Ji Guoyuan did not fully understand the transparent world, because he was born with it, and thus did not know how to fully reach this state.
Therefore, he could only give Tanjiro a general idea and customized a special training plan.
In the end, Tanjiro reached that level, but it was difficult for him to maintain it for a long time and he did not fully master it.
And now, with the memory of life or death and the scenes of memories in his mind, Tanjiro entered the transparent world in just a moment!
At this moment, Tanjiro in Akaza's eyes suddenly changed. He found that Tanjiro's aura, pupils, and markings on his forehead had all changed!
At the same time, Akaza saw the changes in Tanjiro, and when he looked at Tanjiro, every cell in his body, even the hairs on his body, were saying frantically: "Kill this guy immediately!"
"Different from Giyuu, but equally dangerous!" Akaza said in shock.
This is the supreme realm, the transparent world!
