Tanjiro also stopped his relentless attacks and instead stood still, holding his swords in both hands.
At the same time, rushing water surged along the blade, forming whirlpools that surrounded him. "Water Breathing - Eleventh Form - Water Melody!"
The figure shot out in an instant.
His entire body, surrounded by water, resembled a ferocious Suiryu, and in an instant, he arrived in front of Satoru Gojo.
Before Satoru Gojo could think further, he immediately raised his hand, "Cursed Technique Reversal - Heh!"
Crimson light appeared at his fingertips, trailing crimson flames like shooting stars, swaying as he attacked Tanjiro was already within arm's reach.
At this distance, it's almost guaranteed to hit.
However, Tanjiro released his Demon Power and blocked it in front of him, adjusting the angle to change the direction of this extremely powerful beam of light.
However, this also hindered his movements.
This gave Satoru Gojo a chance to dodge. As the two figures crossed paths, a flash of light appeared between their blades. By the time Tanjiro had already passed by.
What you see is Satoru Gojo, whose right arm has been severed, and at this point it is very difficult for him to heal his arm using the Reverse Cursed Technique.
Most importantly, he could sense something attacking his brain and internal organs, with all sorts of negative effects weighing on him.
If this continues, the brain will be damaged.
Those who cannot expand their domain will only die faster!
This was the first time Satoru Gojo had encountered such a formidable enemy. Even he himself had to admit, "If this continues, I'll definitely be the one who dies in the end. Doesn't that make him worthy of being called the strongest in history?"
Let's finish this quickly!
He crossed his arms and looked straight ahead.
"Cursed Technique Lapse - Azure - Cursed Technique Reversal - He!"
Behind them, two Limitless forces of blue and charcoal emerged, colliding and gradually merging into one, while Satoru Gojo raised his hand and pointed in the direction where Tanjiro was.
The illusory mass created by the fusion of the two forces converged in front of him into a purple ball of light about two meters in diameter.
All he needed to do was release this illusory mass in an instant.
"Hollow Technique - Zi!"
In an instant.
As Satoru Gojo activated his Cursed Technique, the ball of energy radiating terrifying pressure shot out, unconsciously attracting everything in its path!
Tanjiro, on the other hand, stood rooted to the spot, his unwavering gaze unchanged. "Please, Asuramaru!"
He then sheathed his Nichirin Blade.
Upon hearing this Asuramaru, who was not far away, laughed.
"He's already dead, why are you still telling me what to do?"
That being said...
However, it still unlocked two states for him: Demonification and One-Sword Asura. A demon horn instantly grew from Tanjiro's forehead.
His eyes turned pale purple, and strange pale purple patterns appeared on his face. His aura instantly rose to an indescribable level.
In Asuramaru's eyes, it seemed as if that boy had returned once again!
And at this moment, we surpass our limits!
The output of Demon Power and Cursed Energy reached its limit, which the body could hardly withstand, and began to crack and bleed profusely.
Everything around us, including the world itself, seemed to have turned gray and white; time seemed to stand still!
Facing the approaching attack.
Tanjiro, swords in both hands, strode forward!
"One-Sword Rakshasa!"
In an instant.
The sixteen sword forms of the Dance of the Fire God, are unleashed in an instant!
It was as if the god of fire had descended to earth.
A raging inferno swept in, about to collide with the creature.
But the next moment...
As the black mist swept in, Tanjiro's figure instantly traversed space and arrived in front of Satoru Gojo.
"What?!"
This sudden turn of events caught Satoru Gojo completely off guard, and it was too late for him to teleport away.
Tanjiro unleashed a powerful slash.
The endless flames, like sunlight, shone on Satoru Gojo's face, and in his vision, the figure before him seemed like Deity bathed in sunlight.
A moment of distraction.
Satoru Gojo's neck was severed instantly by the blade, and his head flew off. Only then did he realize what had happened.
"So I lost..."
My vision gradually blurred, and my consciousness was about to sink into darkness.
But the next moment...
He was standing there unharmed again, and Yuji Itadori appeared beside him, asking with concern.
Are you alright?
Satoru Gojo paused for a moment, somewhat lost in thought, and subconsciously touched his neck, unable to help but mutter, "Being beheaded really doesn't feel good."
The words had barely left his mouth.
He then saw a new sword appear around the giant sword behind Tanjiro not far away, and a figure emerged from it.
When he looked at that figure, Satoru Gojo's Heavenly Eyes, and he even doubted whether he was seeing things.
No matter how you look at it, it's still yourself!
Even the Cursed Technique were exactly the same; even his Six Eyes couldn't discern any difference!
Only then could he truly understand just how terrifying the legendary Asuramaru really was!
At that moment, Asuramaru spoke up.
"Although you lost, you're still quite good. I can sense the desire hidden deep within your heart, so I'll give you a chance to use my power."
But you must remember, it's only a portion of the power.
"It's truly an honor to receive your praise..."
Satoru Gojo curled his lip, having completely given up on defeating the first sword master; that guy was simply beyond human ability to defeat.
However, he still asked out of curiosity.
"Could I know the name of that swordsman?"
"Tanjiro, Kamado Tanjiro!"
Asuramaru proudly uttered his name.
"Kamado Tanjiro? I'll remember that!" Satoru Gojo's face lit up with a satisfied smile, and then he leaned forward somewhat in a frivolous manner.
Curious, she asked, "Could I ask that person over there what happened to me? Ugh... just tell me!"
This unruly and shameless behavior made Asuramaru glance at him sideways, but since he was in a good mood, he decided to explain it to him.
"That's the effect of my domain. All past masters of the sword or enemies who have been slain are recorded by the domain and used for my purposes."
Upon hearing this, Satoru Gojo's expression stiffened for a moment.
Chapter 114 That's your problem.
Kamado Tanjiro is already invincible, and you're telling me that all the sharp blades surrounding that giant sword are powerful warriors whose deaths have been recorded?
If all of these are used together, combined with the area-of-effect effect...
You can already imagine how terrifying it would be.
As far as he knew, he and Sukuna had already been recorded by Asuramaru's domain, and there were at least a dozen more like them here...
Even without releasing these powerful individuals, Kamado Tanjiro's terrifying close-combat abilities alone, coupled with the energy that invades his body after a slash, are enough to make him formidable.
There's no way to solve this; that kind of energy directly attacks the Jujutsu center in the brain and abdomen, which are the spellcaster's greatest weaknesses.
Once destroyed, it signifies death!
We can't win, we simply can't win.
Satoru Gojo had resigned himself to his fate and could only hope that Itadori could seduce him with her desires.
However, Satoru Gojo, who followed closely behind, had another question, and casually asked, "Ms. Asuramaru, can I lend your opportunity to someone else?"
Upon hearing this, Asuramaru immediately guessed it.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be lent to Megumi Fushiguro so that he can use him to subdue the Mahoraga.
That's good. It's still necessary to record the Mahoraga with the domain. Thinking of this Asuramaru looked over with his crimson eyes.
He replied coldly.
"Then that's your problem."
This statement was practically an admission, and Satoru Gojo immediately understood it, putting on his eye patch and smiling as he spoke.
"Thank you so much..."
He thought to himself in secret.
So Asuramaru is actually a tsundere?
However, before he could finish speaking...
Then Asuramaru continued, somewhat annoyed, "And I'm male, so don't call me by the wrong name next time."
Upon hearing this Satoru Gojo and Yuji Itadori were both stunned and immediately sent out of the mental world by Asuramaru.
Meanwhile, a system notification sounded in Asuramaru's mind: [Ding! Detected that Satoru Gojo, the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer in modern times, has generated intense negative emotions, gaining 5000 Emotion Points!]
On the other side.
After the two regained consciousness.
Still unable to calm down, even Satoru Gojo couldn't help but shake his head, "I never expected it to be a man, it's so deceptive."
I'm really curious to see how that hypocritical Hui will react after calling someone "Miss" and then finding out the result.
As he spoke, a sly, enigmatic smile appeared on his face.
Itadori, having recovered from his daze, was somewhat surprised that Asuramaru was male, but otherwise had no particular thoughts.
But Satoru Gojo gave a serious and earnest reminder.
"Itadori, don't tell anyone about what happened here today or about the Asuramaru inside you, or you'll be in endless trouble."
"OK."
The essence of Itadori is simplicity; whatever you say goes.
There was no debate on this issue, so Satoru Gojo returned to the initial question, "Do you want to die now, or after you've collected all the fingers?"
Of course, you could try to gain Asuramaru's approval, since I believe he has the ability to destroy Sukuna's Finger, but your chances of success are almost nil."
That being said, Satoru Gojo is now completely unwilling to let Itadori die, even if it means killing all the high-ranking officials for it!
Faced with this question, Itadori hesitated. This was the first time he had truly experienced what desire was—the desire to live.
But there's something more important right now. "Can I leave here now?"
"Generally speaking, it wouldn't work, but with me here, there won't be a problem," Satoru Gojo said confidently.
After receiving this affirmative answer, Itadori hurriedly pleaded, "Before answering, may I go out to attend Grandpa's funeral?"
"Sure."
Satoru Gojo readily agreed to this request.
