Setting aside Xia Xi, whose attributes were all overwhelmingly powerful.
Among the current Nine Hashira, or even the entire Demon Slayer Corps.
Who was the fastest on foot?
It was not Gyomei, who had the strongest overall physique, nor Tanjuro, who possessed the heavenly war mark and Sun Breathing, nor Shinobu Kocho, who had the most beautiful legs.
In terms of running speed alone.
The fastest was Tengen.
He had undergone hellish ninja training since childhood, coupled with his exceptionally gifted physique.
That already gave Tengen Uzui a rather staggering movement speed.
And the Breathing Style he practiced, Sound Breathing.
Happened to be derived from Thunder Breathing, which emphasized short-range bursts of speed above all else.
Combined with the enhancement of his war mark.
At that moment, Tengen could even rival the highest Upper Rank in speed.
One of the Nine Hashira, with an energy level approaching 2,000 and A ratings in both strength and speed.
How fast could he be when he went all out?
Fast enough to let Upper Rank Three turn around and flee for two or three seconds first.
Then, in less than half a second.
The enormous flash of blue-gold lightning, merged into one, had already caught up to his lower back.
At that moment.
Upper Rank Three, who was desperately fleeing.
Seemed to hear indescribable drumming and clanging gongs behind him.
Along with countless sounds like people walking.
And the faintly rising strains of solemn kagura music.
No.
Those were not sounds!
That was that bastard Uzui's Nichirin Blade!
Countless sounds converged into one at that moment, forming a seemingly tangible line.
Or rather, they became an incomparably dazzling, flamboyant blade of light.
[Sound Breathing]
[Ninth Form: Final Sound-Nuo Sound, Myriad Phenomena]
Dark Blade realized he could no longer evade this incredibly fast slash!
