At those words, Su Chen whipped his head around!
In his line of sight, Shinazugawa had somehow gotten back up.
He now stood ramrod straight, rooted to the spot like a statue!
How could this be?
Su Chen's mouth fell slightly open, and he instinctively tried to activate Bullet Domain, but the nerves in his head hurt so badly that he could not enter that state at all!
He had exhausted every trump card. If Shinazugawa still had strength left, Su Chen really would...
Wait!
Su Chen's entire body suddenly relaxed.
He narrowed his eyes and staggered toward Shinazugawa.
Under everyone's focused gazes, amid the tense atmosphere, Su Chen walked up to Shinazugawa, completely relaxed.
The other man's face was stiff, his body taut.
He gripped his Nichirin Blade as though it had been welded to his hand.
Shinazugawa had already passed out!
The sight moved Su Chen a little.
This guy had the nerve to call me stubborn!
Hadn't he also stood back up, refusing to admit defeat?!
It could be said that the only thing keeping Shinazugawa standing now was the undying pride in his bones.
Somewhat at a loss for words, Su Chen shook his head. "Shinazugawa, you're an opponent worthy of great respect."
"You have my recognition."
Su Chen patted his shoulder. With Demon Hand Massage, the man's taut body instantly relaxed.
The next moment, the Demon Slayer Corps' current Wind Hashira collapsed like a boneless chicken strip.
Thud!
With Shinazugawa's fall, the curtain came down on him.
This battle finally had its ultimate victor!
"Can you announce the result now?" Su Chen turned his head and glanced toward the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui.
The boy's expression was calm, his disposition steady.
It was as though this had brought him little sense of achievement or excitement.
