"Ah~ I remember now. Your moves look a little familiar~
What's your relationship with the girl who was with that Takanashi back then?"
Doma smiled brightly. "Your Breathing Styles come from the same lineage~"
Having just unleashed "Crimson Hanagoromo," Kanao lightly touched her toes to the ground, steadying herself as she landed.
Doma had easily deflected the two arcing attacks she had launched in a single breath with his Metal Fans, even finding time to analyze her Breathing Style.
But before he could finish speaking, he leaned backward. A pair of spinning Nichirin Blades barely grazed his cheeks, even shearing off a few strands of his white oak-colored hair.
Sound Breathing, Fifth Form: Layered String Melody!
Tengen Uzui's attack came at just the right moment. When his first strike failed, he did not retreat. Instead, he strode forward, his spinning Nichirin Blades sweeping out swaths of attacks.
"You really don't know when to give up~"
Doma huffed and flicked his Metal Fans toward Tengen Uzui. Countless tiny ice-crystal petals drifted out, each as sharp as a blade, accompanied by clouds of swirling Frost Powder as they flew toward him.
Blood Demon Art: Scattered Lotus Blossoms!
A string of sparks immediately flared along Tengen Uzui's Nichirin Blades, as though they were clashing against real blades rather than ice crystals.
Seeing the drifting powder, he turned and shouted, "Hold your breath! Don't let that powder into your lungs!"
Doma covered his mouth with an Iron Fan and chuckled. "Looks like that Takanashi told you all my secrets~ Whatever should I do~ You already know all my moves~"
Doma's Blood Demon Art, especially the Frost Powder made from his blood that drifted everywhere, was a natural counter to swordsmen who used Breathing Styles.
But the Hashira before him was no conventional Breathing Style
