Fierce Battle: Giyu Tomioka vs. Demon King Muzan (Four)
This time, Muzan was smarter.
He no longer treated the blood trees as mere obstacles, but instead poured another power that had been brewing within him for a long time into these giant trees!
"Blood Demon Art - Soul-Devouring Blood Tree - Poisonous Mist Miasma!!"
"Puff--!"
Dozens of bloodwood trees simultaneously spewed out a dark purple, highly poisonous miasma that blotted out the sky from the gaping mouths of the ghostly faces on their trunks!
This miasma is completely different from the previous freezing air. It carries no chill, but contains a deadly poison that can corrode steel and paralyze nerves!
Once inhaled, even a Pillar-level swordsman will instantly lose their fighting ability!
Muzan was determined to use this most disgusting method to completely trap Giyu in this poisonous forest and kill him!
"Call--!"
Giyu cleaved through several blood-red trees blocking his path with a single stroke of his sword, but his nose instantly caught the pungent, poisonous stench, and his brow furrowed slightly.
"Using poisonous miasma to block my breathing? That's a bit more troublesome than ice."
He took a deep breath, and the Sun Breathing surged within his chest, forming a thin layer of flame shield on his body, keeping the invading poison gas out of his body.
"However, you seem to have forgotten that what I hold in my hand is Red Nichirin Blade capable of incinerating everything."
"Sun Breathing, Fifth Form - Fire Wheel!!"
"Boom--!"
Giyu leaped into the air, his Red Nichirin Blade transforming into a long, golden-red rainbow, and he charged straight into the dense, suffocating forest of poisonous trees like a burning Fire Wheel!
Wherever the Red Nichirin Blade passed, the bloodwood as hard as iron and the highly poisonous miasma were instantly ignited and evaporated by the intense heat!
A passage engulfed in golden-red flames was forcibly carved out of the poisonous forest!
"Sizzle--!"
Giyu pierced through the last patch of poisonous fog, his Red Nichirin Blade carrying a scorching heat wave, and slashed towards Muzan's chest!
Muzan's expression changed Muzan. He hardened his arms once more to block, but Giyu still Giyu to send him flying dozens of meters away, arm and all!
"Boom--!"
Immediately afterward, Muzan didn't dare to stay on the ground at all, and his shoulder blades were instantly torn apart!
"Blood Demon Art: Abyssal Black Wings!!"
A pair of demonic wings, with a wingspan exceeding twelve meters and composed of jet-black bone plates and dark red flesh membranes, suddenly unfurled!
"Call--!"
With a wild flap of his black wings, Muzan unleashed a level 10 gale, lifting himself straight up through the dust and smoke, reaching a height of 100 meters above the ground!
Looking down at Giyu, who was slashing through the jungle with his sword, Muzan, hovering Muzan in the air, took a breath and a sinister smile appeared on his face:
"Giyu Tomioka! You're indeed unbeatable on the ground! But let's see how you cut down enemies in the air!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Muzan's wings Muzan flapped in the sky, and at the same time, the gaping maw in his chest emitted a piercing ultrasonic wave!
"Blood Demon Art: Thundering Air-Pressure Cannon!"
"Blood Demon Art: Black Blood: Ten Thousand-Spear Rain!!"
"Boom! Boom! Whoosh--!"
Invisible ultrasonic waves mixed with countless black and red lightning bolts, along with thousands of bone spears transformed from black wing bone fragments, created a devastating meteor shower that indiscriminately carpet-bombed the entire mountain below from the sky!
"Boom--!"
The mountain below, which had already been leveled, suffered another devastating blow!
However, right in the very center of this constantly collapsing and exploding ruin.
Giyu Tomioka gripped his sword with one hand, cleaving apart the air pressure cannon and lightning that were falling from above. He looked up at Muzan, who thought he was safe once he took to the sky, his eyes calm and undisturbed.
"Tsk, it really has reached the heavens~"
With Giyu knees slightly bent, the collapsed rock beneath his feet exploded, creating a deep crater!
Using the recoil force, Giyu leaped into the air thirty meters high, like a cannon shot fired from a gun!
"Moon Breathing, Fourteenth Form - Catastrophe, Tenman Crescent Moon!!"
"Moon Breathing - Sixteenth Form - Moonbow - Lone Moon!!"
"Shuashua--!"
Giyu swung his sword repeatedly in mid-air!
Thirty-meter-long silver-red crescent sword energies, mixed with countless swirling Full Moon Blade winds, directly tore through the sky full of bone spears and falling lightning, and blasted back towards Muzan!
"What?!"
Muzan's expression changed Muzan as he flapped his black wings and dodged in the night sky!
However, there were no obstructions in the sky, and thanks to Giyu's advance prediction, every sword strike was precisely aimed at his inevitable flight path!
"Pfft! Crack--!"
After flying in the sky for less than two minutes, Muzan's right black wing was severed on the spot by a sword aura!
Losing his balance, Muzan screamed and plummeted straight down from the sky!
Before he could even grow wings again, Giyu below had already leaped into the air once more, stepping on a flying boulder, and unleashed a full- Muzan horizontal slash at the falling Muzan:
"Sun Breathing - Tenth Form - Fire Wheel!!"
"Boom--!"
The golden-red flaming blade wheel swept through the air, slicing the falling Muzan in two at the waist, sending him crashing heavily into the lava ruins below!
What was originally a towering, barren mountain nearly 100 meters high has been transformed into a basin tens of meters deep after thirty minutes of relentless bombardment!
The surrounding mountains were riddled with holes by the dissipated sword energy!
In this battle, Giyu Tomioka held a clear advantage.
Muzan's head was chopped off no less than ten times, and his body was cut into pieces hundreds of times!
But--
Thirty minutes later, Giyu Tomioka still hadn't managed to completely kill Muzan Kibutsuji!
The reason is very practical:
Tonight, Muzan had Muzan intention of fighting Giyu to the death from the very beginning; he devoted 80% of his energy to saving his own life!
On the other side, although Giyu Tomioka was dominating Muzan throughout the fight, he also didn't reveal his true trump card.
Giyu knew that if he couldn't guarantee a fatal blow, recklessly using up his trump cards would Muzan give Muzan a chance to retaliate.
Half an hour is simply not enough time for these two top-tier players to determine a winner!
"Huff... huff... huff..."
At the other end of the basin ruins, Muzan Kibutsuji, whose body had once again regenerated from charred remains, knelt on one knee on the pile of rubble, panting heavily.
After being slashed hundreds of times by the Red Nichirin Blade over half an hour, even with his vast reserves of essence blood as Demon King, nearly 20% of his life force had been depleted.
But at this moment, Muzan raised his head and looked at Giyu Tomioka, who was walking towards him with a knife fifty meters away. Instead of fear, his scarlet plum blossom vertical pupils burst out with a hint of wild joy!
Thirty minutes later, we're there!!
"Giyu Tomioka! I have to admit, you truly are a monster through and through!"
"If I fight you for another two hours, you might really wear me down to death!"
Muzan stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and his arrogant, sinister smile returned to his face.
"Unfortunately, half an hour is too short, too short for you to do anything to me!"
"Nakime! Open the door!!"
P. S.: Muzan huge buff!
