Damn it!

"You two bastards! I'm going to kill you!"

In a clearing in the wilderness, two figures were locked in a fierce battle.

One of them let out an extremely angry roar.

Meanwhile, the other person repeatedly swung his blood-red blade, the light and shadow weaving into a spiderweb-like storm, displaying astonishing power.

Akaza and Gyutaro!

They were ordered by Muzan to search for Oboro's whereabouts.

But Oboro is elusive, and the best way for them to get results in a short time is to capture Gyutaro first.

This successor seems to be very important to Oboro.

Gyutaro has been hunting the Twelve Kizuki for years, and even the Upper Moon Gyokko died at his hands. This guy is very keen on hunting Upper Moon demons, so the three of them don't need to go to great lengths to find him. As long as he shows up, Gyutaro will come to them on his own.

But Akaza never expected that he would be in this situation! He was fighting against Gyutaro and Daki all by himself.

His earlier shout was not directed at the brother and sister, but at Kokushibo and Doma, who were hiding in the shadows and watching from the sidelines.

Akaza knew that the two were not far away.

This is completely different from what was agreed upon beforehand.

Akaza hates it when others interfere in his battles; asking others for help is an insult to him.

He has absolute confidence in his own abilities.

However, this was Muzan's order after all. He was fine fighting Gyutaro one-on-one, but the key was that Daki was also there... This woman's attacks could not cause him any serious damage, but they could distract him, which was very troublesome.

Furthermore, this Gyutaro is not as simple as he thinks.

Akaza's fist struck out at supersonic speed, shattering the incoming streaks of red light.

"Chatter chatter..."

Before him, Gyutaro had leaped high into the air, let out a strange laugh. His arm, which was holding a scythe, had become a blur as he used his Blood Demon Art to Flying Blood Sickles and create ranged attacks.

He can spray blood, turning it into crimson light for slashing attacks.

There's no need for direct contact with Akaza.

Akaza's Blood Demon Art and attack methods make him difficult to suppress in close combat; if he is not careful, Gyutaro could even be killed.

Therefore, his tactic of maintaining a certain distance and attacking from a distance was extremely effective against Akaza.

Akaza temporarily suppressed his rage, ignoring the unusual behavior of Doma and Kokushibo. He crossed his arms to form a shield, blocking a deadly flying scythe.

He was surrounded by an aura that seemed to solidify into a physical form... it was his battle qi.

The crimson light exploded in front of him, leaving no mark.

The airflow neutralized most of its destructive power.

His Blood Demon Art is actually a series of techniques created using battle aura.

There haven't been many changes; the pursuit is the ultimate combat in martial arts.

Therefore, even though Muzan infused him with new blood to strengthen his spirit and make his Blood Demon Art stronger, he did not awaken new techniques on top of the existing Blood Demon Art like Doma did.

It simply made his fighting spirit more solid.

Whoosh! Akaza seized an opening.

He lowered his arm, and the soil beneath his feet exploded.

Unleashing astonishing power, he charged straight towards Gyutaro, who was about to land in the distance. Just as he was about to reach the enemy, several flexible ribbons lashed out like whips, cutting off his attack route.

This forced Akaza to retreat and jump away.

The ribbon crashed to the ground with a loud thud, its force immense.

With a cold expression and eyes filled with disdain and contempt, Daki stood beside Gyutaro, staring at Akaza.

"Stop your foolish ideas and ridiculous actions. Your only fate is to be killed by us."

The woman sneered.

This statement made Akaza's forehead veins bulge.

How dare this weakling mock him? Really! He had seen it from the start; compared to Gyutaro, this woman was pitifully weak... but because of Gyutaro's protection, he had failed several times in his attempts to kill her first.

Gyutaro's Blood Demon Art can effectively counter his fighting style.

Furthermore, it can also be released at high frequencies.

Those long-range slashes, each swing requiring the power of blood and maintaining a certain level of strength... that's not something anyone can do. This Blood Demon Art is clearly a self-consuming technique. But after all this fighting, Gyutaro seems completely unaffected.

"His movements and footwork are extremely skillful..."

Akaza took a deep breath and realized something was amiss.

He actually got close to Gyutaro several times, determined to knock him down.

However, under his Blood Demon Art 'Destructive Death: Compass Needle', Gyutaro can not only fight back but also dodge.

It relies on body movement and footwork.

Gyutaro's fighting style is also full of skill, but it is not the martial arts style that Akaza is familiar with. It is more like an innate wild style.

"With that look and that face of yours, do you think you can defeat us siblings?"

"As long as we are together, we are invincible."

"You're really annoying... What makes you so confident?"

Where does your sense of superiority come from?

"I'm increasingly wanting to destroy you, not just devour you... You're just too much of an eyesore."

Gyutaro groaned, pressing one hand to his cheek, his nails digging involuntarily, and said in a sickly tone.

After saying that, he used the same method again.

With a grotesque laugh, he frantically swung his scythe, and in just a few seconds, countless dense blood blades erupted, forming a tearing storm that swept towards Akaza.

"Destructive Death: Air Type!"

Akaza's eyes narrowed, and his fighting spirit surged.

Immediately afterwards, countless fists were thrown out.

The incoming slashes were shattered.

While they were engaged in fierce fighting on their side, on the other side of the battlefield...

Kokushibo, dressed as a samurai, and Doma stood side by side, one in front of the other.

Hiding in the darkness.

Both of them were watching the scene in the distance, feeling the intense atmosphere.

Kokushibo remained silent throughout.

On the contrary, Doma beamed and said lightly, "Akaza... seems to be having a tough time."

"No wonder he was able to kill Gyokko. This Gyutaro is indeed not simple... His level of skill is consistent with our understanding of Oboro."

Doma glanced at Kokushibo and said something meaningful.

"You probably share the same thought as me, right?"

Seeing that Kokushibo was ignoring him, Doma continued to speak, without feeling embarrassed at all.

"Tell me... if Muzan and Oboro were to meet, who would win?"

Doma leaned halfway over Kokushibo and asked a question.

Both of them had long remembered the experience of being disciplined and beaten by Long.

However, he never revealed Muzan details to Muzan.

I only gave a general overview.

Therefore, regardless of what Kokushibo thinks, at least in Doma's eyes, Muzan- sama doesn't truly understand Oboro.

That man... heh.
