The instant Giyu saw Sabito's Nichirin Blade snap and Sabito get caught, his latent strength erupted.
He leaped high into the air, drew a deep breath, and swung his blade down from above.
Blue light shone along the blade. The slash swept down with overwhelming force, like a waterfall cascading from the heavens.

"What?!"
The blade flashed, and
