The Death of Doma

Pure white mist permeated the entire arena, yet this aesthetic whiteness concealed a lethal intent; every breath taken only accelerated the spread of toxins within the body.

"What's wrong, swordsman who uses Sunlight Breathing? Where did that momentum from just a moment ago go? Oh my, you were just a hair's breadth away from shattering my ice clone. What a pity."

Suzuki Mufeng held Kanae Kocho in his arms, constantly seeking an opportunity to escape, but five small ice figures blocked the key positions in a pentagram formation. The attacks they launched were mostly obstructive, preventing Suzuki Mufeng from slipping out of their field of vision.

Doma wanted nothing more than to watch them suffer and die slowly in the ice toxins; he was savoring the sight of Suzuki Mufeng, who could only flee and felt utterly powerless.

Breathing Style is currently unusable. Most of the ninjutsu I know are Water Style, which has minimal effect on Doma, who controls ice. The bubbles from my stand Soft & Wet are currently acting as an oxygen mask on Kanae Kocho's face.

Aside from Shave and Iron Body from the Six Powers, only the blank-slate Soft & Wet is available. I know Doma like the back of my hand, but he knows nothing of me.

In terms of intelligence, the advantage is mine!

"Fire Style—Great Fireball Technique!"

Aiming at Doma's main body, he spat out a Great Fireball four meters in diameter. Doma's eyes lit up, and he waved the folding fan in his hand casually.

Blood Demon Art—Frozen White Princess.

The massive ice princess kept her eyes closed, her palms cupped around her mouth as she blew out a gentle breath. A vast wave of freezing air collided with the Great Fireball.

Crackle—

Instantly, a thick fog rose across the field, enveloping everything in white mist. For a moment, even Doma, with his Crystal Child, could not see the situation around him.

"Wow, is this Onmyodo? To think you can spit fire too; it's quite similar to our Blood Demon Art. However, if you think you can escape like this, aren't you being a bit too naive?"

"With the five Crystal Child and my main body forming a hexagram, where else can you run?"

The thought was beautiful, but reality was harsh.

The fact was that after searching for a long time, Doma could not find a single trace of Suzuki Mufeng on the ground; it was as if he had vanished into thin air!

"Oh my, you really are gone. Swordsman who uses Sunlight Breathing, you have successfully piqued my interest."

Blood Demon Art—Freezing Clouds—Lotus Bodhisattva.

Behind Doma, a benevolent-looking ice Bodhisattva formed from ice blocks appeared. The Bodhisattva, which should have been saving all living beings, released a vast amount of poisonous freezing air from Doma's hands, spreading in all directions. The large-scale attack forced Suzuki Mufeng to reveal his position.

"Total Concentration—Sunlight Breathing, Third Form—Fire Dance Shining Sun!"

Above Doma's head, Suzuki Mufeng, suspended in mid-air, drew the Nichirin Sword from his waist. White flames suddenly surged along the blade as he slashed horizontally toward the Bodhisattva's head. Clang, clang, clang—three sounds rang out in succession.

In an instant, the head of the ice Bodhisattva, which was the size of five grown men, was sliced into three pieces and collapsed with a roar.

It looked like a single strike, but in reality, he had swung his blade three times in rapid succession.

The Second and Third Forms of Sunlight Breathing were inspired by Thunder Breathing and Fire Breathing. The Second Form focused on speed, while the Third Form incorporated the ferocity of fire; it was perfect for dealing with these large chunks of ice.

"To think the Third Form could actually break my Lotus Bodhisattva. This newly emerged Sunlight Breathing has quite some power. Intelligence gathering is about done; you can go die now."

As the five Crystal Child approached, Suzuki Mufeng suddenly turned into light and vanished from where he stood.

"Total Concentration—Sunlight Breathing, Shave—Light Speed Five-Fold!"

A beam of white light piercing through the entire arena enveloped the five Crystal Child. The next moment, these five small ice figures were torn apart by the light, turning into ice crystals scattered across the ground.

"How terrifying. What kind of speed is this? To destroy all five of my Crystal Child in an instant... tell me, can you even continue to fight?"

At this moment, Suzuki Mufeng, carrying Kanae Kocho on his back, crouched halfway. He sheathed his Nichirin Sword, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. His calf muscles had lost all sensation due to the high-intensity instant movement just now, but his goal had been achieved.

Doma wore a look of certain victory, having even folded his fan, and approached Suzuki Mufeng step by step. However, Suzuki Mufeng just laughed loudly.

"Doma, now you don't even have a chance to run!"

On the mountain behind Doma, the sun revealed a sliver of light, which landed on his heels. Sizzle—

Don't forget, Suzuki Mufeng's attainments in illusions were not shallow. From the very beginning of the battle, he had intentionally or unintentionally caused confusion regarding the time of the sunrise.

"Truly impressive. Tell me, what is your name? I have eaten so many Hashira, yet I have never encountered a swordsman as troublesome as you. I want to remember you well. Is this feeling what they call being moved?"

The psychopathic Doma had a morbid, flushed complexion. As for the sun, it hadn't fully risen yet, and Doma still had ways to escape.

"Total Concentration—Sunlight Breathing, First Form—Halo!"

Just as Doma's feet moved, Soft & Wet, which had been waiting behind him for a long time, suddenly grabbed Doma and pulled him toward the blade path of Suzuki Mufeng's horizontal slash. Doma finally panicked.

Now, he would either be burned to ashes by the sun or have his head severed by the Nichirin Sword and die.

"Haha, truly amazing! To have calculated me to this point, I really have lost to you. Is this feeling welling up in my heart a sense of frustration?

Sunlight Breathing swordsman, you are truly wonderful. You've made me feel so many beautiful emotions that I almost don't want to die. Come down with me and keep me company!"

Doma no longer faced Suzuki Mufeng with a playful attitude. This time, he was serious; he raised over a dozen ice spikes, piercing Suzuki Mufeng's body from different angles in an instant.

But at the same time, Suzuki Mufeng's Nichirin Sword had already severed Doma's head.

"Come to hell with me."

Doma's words became blurred in Suzuki Mufeng's ears. His vision gradually dimmed. His current wounds could not be healed with Medical Ninjutsu. Was it a pity that he couldn't save Kanae Kocho and had to throw his own life away as well?

The next moment, as his consciousness plunged into total darkness, a familiar voice reached his ears.

"Damn it, Demon Slayer Mufeng, how did your body get so many holes in it! Quick, it's your turn to act, Pokemon Mufeng and Jujutsu Mufeng, share your abilities."

At this moment, Demon Slayer Mufeng received the abilities of Pokemon Mufeng and Jujutsu Mufeng. Without saying a word, Suzuki Mufeng immediately chose to log off.

Suzuki Mufeng returned to the Demon Slayer World and looked at Doma, who was still grinning with only half a face left. Suzuki Mufeng laughed too, laughing even more wildly than the demon!

Snap—

Ignoring the wounds on his body, Suzuki Mufeng snapped the ice spikes off and swiftly pulled them out. Under Doma's incredulous gaze, Suzuki Mufeng's wounds began to heal slowly!

Next, Suzuki Mufeng placed his palm over Kanae Kocho, and tiny droplets of water fell. The wounds on her body healed rapidly; this was the move Life Dew from his time as a Lucario.

"You can't do this. You're supposed to go to hell with me, so how can you still be alive?"

At this moment, Doma felt completely broken. How could this be? He was the demon with the ability to regenerate infinitely; why could this swordsman regenerate too?

"Doma, I really have to thank you for not piercing my brain or heart in the end, allowing me to use Reverse Cursed Technique to recover! So, please, go to hell!"

Suzuki Mufeng cursed one last time, fed the antidote to Kanae Kocho, and then took some himself. The Kasugai Crow had already gone to notify the others; he only needed to watch Doma die and wait for rescue.

The prolonged battle had left Suzuki Mufeng exhausted. He didn't even have the time to check that the Trans-Dimensional Space had reopened, and the two of them simply leaned against each other and fell asleep.

It wasn't until Shinobu Kocho and the others arrived to bring them back that this mission finally came to a successful conclusion.
