Fierce Battle: Giyu Tomioka vs. Demon King Muzan (II)
"Aaaaaah--!"
The intense burning pain caused Muzan five of Muzan's brains to convulse simultaneously!
Just as Giyu twisted his wrist, the blade about to slice through the remaining half of his body, Muzan and ruthlessly detonated the flesh and blood of his own split right half of torso!
"Bang--!"
The shockwave from the explosion of flesh and blood deflected Giyu's blade, and Muzan's Muzan left half of his body, propelled by the blast, was thrown backward seventy or eighty meters before crashing heavily into the distant rocks!
"Boom!"
Amidst the flying debris, as Muzan's half- Muzan body tumbled in mid-air, a massive amount of fleshy buds gushed forth from the fractured section.
The moment his feet touched the ground and he regained his footing, the shattered right half of his head and torso had completely regrown!
But at this moment, Muzan touched his newly healed neck and head, and looked at Giyu Tomioka, who was approaching from afar with his Red Nichirin Blade in hand and without even taking a breath. His scarlet cat eyes darkened completely!
"Damn monster... I can't fight it in close combat at all!!"
After fighting for less than two minutes, Muzan had already grasped the harsh reality!
In close-quarters combat, Giyu Tomioka's sword-wielding power, attack speed, and Future Sight abilities have reached a level of overwhelming power that is utterly devastating!
His own bone whip, bone claws, and tentacles were as brittle as paper in front of Giyu's powerful, brick-like Red Nichirin Blade; they would be easy prey if they went up against it!
If I continue to fight him in close combat, before I can even last thirty minutes, my life essence will be completely depleted by this brute's attacks!
Since I can't beat you in close combat, I'll have to keep my distance!
Muzan was calculating his options very quickly.
As the progenitor of all demons, Muzan Kibutsuji can directly command any Blood Demon Art derived from his blood, whether it's the power of Lower Rank or Upper Rank demon!
"However, before creating distance, I need to give you, you brute, a taste of your own medicine first!!"
With Muzan determination, Muzan didn't retreat but instead advanced, taking the initiative to close in!
He's going to take a gamble!!
Gambling on Giyu's Future Sight, even with rapid-fire attacks, there are brief gaps in his calculations. He's betting that his rapid regeneration can withstand this onslaught!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Muzan's ten fingers instantly grew larger, transforming into sharp bone claws that gleamed with a purplish-black light;
At the same time, four more fleshy tentacles tore out from his sides, and he looked like a ferocious monster with bared fangs and claws, lunging at Giyu's chest!
Giyu's pupils contracted slightly, but he did not retreat.
"Still dare to come closer? Fine, then I'll play with you."
With a flick of his wrist, the Red Nichirin Blade drew a crimson-gold arc in front of him, neither dodging nor avoiding, directly colliding with Muzan's ten bone claws head-on!
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang--!"
Giyu's Red Nichirin Blade was so fast that it left only indistinct red afterimages. Each strike precisely hit the joints of Muzan's Bone Claw, forcefully shattering it!
Muzan, has become an indestructible cockroach; no matter how many of his bone claws are cut off, new ones will grow back in the blink of an eye.
No matter how many tentacles are sliced off, new fleshy buds will sprout out the next second!
He braced himself against Giyu's blade, attacking with his bone claws while simultaneously using his tentacles to sneak up on Giyu's lower body from tricky angles, all the while emitting a provocative, sinister laugh.
"What? Is this all the power you, Lord Water Hashira, has? My flesh and blood are inexhaustible! Can you possibly cut them all down?!"
"Snort."
Giyu snorted coldly, but the speed of his sword strike suddenly increased by thirty percent!
"Sun Breathing - Dance - Combo Slash!!"
"Shuashua--!"
Giyu's figure was like a crimson lightning bolt, spinning and rushing forward at high speed around Muzan's body, his Red Nichirin Blade slashing down continuously!
As the blade flashed, Muzan's bone claws, tentacles, and even his arms and shoulders were all sliced off and burned to ashes!
Muzan's regeneration speed was also astonishingly fast. The limbs that were cut off grew back almost instantly, and he withstood Giyu's ferocious series of slashes!
"Haha! Keep chopping! Keep chopping! I want to see if you die of exhaustion first, or if I'll be chopped to pieces first!"
Muzan, taking blows while fighting back, perfectly embodying the thuggish fighting style of "trading injury for injury, fighting life for life"!
In just thirty seconds of fighting, Giyu had slashed Muzan over a hundred cuts, Muzan had left several shallow bloodstains on Giyu's haori!
This is the first time tonight that Giyu has touched the hem of Muzan's clothes!
"Your regeneration is indeed ridiculously fast, but you only have these few moves over and over again?!"
Giyu slashed Muzan Muzan's newly grown bone claws with a single blow, his eyes cold and sharp.
"You can't beat me in close combat. Continuing to fight will only waste your life force."
"So, are you planning to just keep taking this beating, or are you going to show some real skill?"
Muzan at Giyu's words, his face turning ashen, but he knew he was telling the truth.
In close combat, I really had no way to deal with this brute who could throw bricks with such force.
"Giyu Tomioka, you had a good time cutting, didn't you? Well then, let's see how you get close to me!!"
Muzan sneered, pushed off the ground with both feet, and pulled back a hundred meters, placing his hands on the rocks beneath his feet!
In an instant, the temperature on the scorching mountaintop dropped by tens of degrees in just one second!
"Snap! Snap--!"
The snow-white ice, centered on Muzan's palms, instantly covered the rocky ground within a radius of hundreds of meters, and even the moisture in the air froze into sharp ice shards!
Ice-type Blood Demon Art!
"Blood Demon Art: Freezing Clouds Cold White Princesses!!"
Muzan raised his hands, and the ice on both sides behind him shot into the sky, instantly condensing into two statues of Ice Shrine Maiden!
"Whoosh--!"
Two ten-meter-tall Ice Shrine Maiden simultaneously opened their mouths and spewed out a sky-covering barrage of freezing air and ice crystal blades at Giyu Tomioka, who was a hundred meters away!
This is no ordinary ice and snow; it contains a high concentration of toxic fumes!
Once inhaled by a human swordsman, the alveoli will freeze and die instantly, completely losing the ability to use Breathing Style;
Even if it only touches the skin, it will instantly freeze the muscles and nerves, and at the same time forcibly cool down the scalding hot Red Nichirin Blade!
The wind howled, and the blizzard instantly engulfed the entire mountainside!
A biting cold front swept in, freezing and cracking the granite ground beneath Giyu's feet, and even the hem of his clothes quickly became covered with a layer of frost.
"Use ice-based Blood Demon Art to restrict my breathing, create distance, and buy time?"
Giyu a deep breath, his chest Sun Breathing violently like a furnace, forcefully turning the extremely cold air he inhaled into scalding white mist as he exhaled it.
Without stopping, he gripped his sword with both hands and charged head-on into the raging blizzard of ice crystals!
"Moon Breathing, First Form - Dark Moon, Evening Palace!"
"Whoosh--!"
A silver slash, twenty meters long, swept across the sky, cleaving the first wave of ice crystal blizzard in two!
However, Muzan, standing a hundred meters away, gave Giyu no chance to advance!
Since he decided to wage a war of attrition, Muzan transformed into a mobile turret Muzan no cooldown time!
Blood Demon Art: Scattered Blossoms, Lotus Ice!
Blood Demon Art: Vine Ice Lotus!
"Blood Demon Art: Dark Winter Ice Pillar!!"
