Upon seeing this, Teiichi's brows furrowed deeply.
Even though he's a ghost, why would he eat his own brother?
How is this any different from being an animal?
No!
After becoming a ghost, only a minority will truly care about this.
Beside him, Muichiro's brows furrowed slightly as he turned to look at Teiichi, asking for instructions on how to proceed.
"Master?"
Hearing Muichiro's words, Teiichi looked at him and said:
"The mission has only just begun. You'll have another fight with Lower Rank Six later."
Upon hearing this, Muichiro didn't say anything more, but simply nodded quietly.
Despite realizing that the two Demon Slayer in front of him had no intention of stopping him.
But Jiro continued to increase the speed at which he swallowed.
Soon, Taro's figure completely disappeared from his mouth, leaving behind only a mess and the lingering smell of blood in the air.
Teiichi's eyes opened and closed slightly as he observed Lower Rank Six's condition.
After consuming his own brother, it seemed to complete Lower Rank Six.
An invisible energy surged within his body, his muscles constantly expanding and contracting...
The entire body expands and shrinks along with the expansion and contraction of the muscles, like a balloon.
Finally, Lower Rank Six slowly stood up, but his height had shrunk considerably, now only a little over 1.8 meters.
Lower Rank Six slowly raised its head.
What appeared before them was an unusually distorted face.
His facial muscles were crooked and twisted, with prominent veins bulging on his forehead.
Its mouth seemed to be slightly open because it couldn't close completely, and saliva kept sliding down from the corners of its mouth, dripping onto the ground with a soft sound.
An unprecedented power surged through his body, making Jiro feel lightheaded.
It seems that my past self was incomplete, but at this moment I feel complete.
"As expected, you are my burden, Taro..."
Lower Rank Six murmured softly, his voice laced with panting and satisfaction.
Seeing that Lower Rank Six seemed to have completed his transformation, Muichiro took two small steps forward, preparing for the upcoming battle.
Lower Rank Six also turned his gaze over, his eyes sweeping over the two Demon Slayer not far away.
I've already fought that kid, and in my current form, he's no match for me!
The other person... I can't sense their presence, but if this kid is this strong, that person must have come along and poses no threat to me!
Thinking of this, Lower Rank Six Riku couldn't help but grin with a strange smile, and the unprecedented power made him feel a surge of expansion.
"You'd better all come at me together! Otherwise, you can't beat me alone!"
Upon hearing this, Muichiro ignored it and simply placed his hand lightly on the hilt of his Nichirin Blade.
The blade slid silently out of its sheath, like a silver dragon about to take flight.
Fourth Form: Horizontal Slash!
His voice was clear and firm, echoing through the forest like a mountain spring.
Before he finished speaking, Muichiro's figure had already transformed into a flowing cloud, carrying with it a sharp blade of light, and rushed towards the Lower Rank Six.
Faced with this sudden attack, Lower Rank Six remained unusually calm.
His gaze instantly locked onto Muichiro's sword, and then, with a slight movement, his fist swung out with the speed and force of a hammer.
Clang!
Muichiro was not surprised that his all-out slash was blocked. He twisted his wrist, raised his Nichirin Blade quickly, and slashed down again with even greater speed.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...
A series of rapid metallic clanging sounds rose and fell, the battle between the two becoming increasingly fierce, with flashes of blades and shadows of fists intertwining in a dazzling display.
Teiichi watched the two fighting quietly from a distance, then his gaze fell on Lower Rank Six.
After absorbing his own brother, his strength improved. He's still far from being Upper Rank, but he should be at least strong enough to be Lower Rank.
On the battlefield.
Muichiro was completely focused; every swing of his sword was imbued with the full power of his body.
The blade and the shadow of a fist appeared repeatedly before Muichiro's eyes, then quickly disappeared.
Suddenly.
Muichiro suddenly felt a tightness in his ankle, as if he were being bound by something.
Then his foot was quickly pulled forward, Muichiro's body was immediately pulled off balance, his foot stretched forward and his body fell backward.
Clang!
After Muichiro raised his sword to block an incoming fist, he quickly glanced at the direction of the feet during the opening.
A brown vine was tightly bound to his right foot, dragging him towards the Lower Rank Six.
Out of the corner of my eye, above me, a fist carrying a sinister blue flame slammed down again.
Despite the perilous scene before him, Muichiro's eyes remained as calm as a lake.
" Third Form "
Words, as fleeting as clouds, drifted quietly through the woods.
" The Scattering Mist Splash "
As the words fell, Muichiro's figure seemed to transform into light clouds and began to spin rapidly.
As his body spun, the Nichirin Blade drew brilliant streaks of light, like a sky full of swirling mist, dyeing the surrounding space with a faint silver hue.
Clang!
The moment the blade collided with the fist, a piercing screech was heard.
The downward punch was blocked, and the flames from the punch were scattered by the wind pressure generated by the rotation.
The next moment.
Whoosh--!
A flash of light, and the vines binding her ankles were severed.
Muichiro quickly retreated, widening the distance between himself and Lower Rank Six.
Its strength and speed have become greater than mine.
There's also a new Blood Demon Art; is it another Blood Demon Art from Lower Rank Six?
Muichiro analyzed the intelligence he had gathered from the recent battle.
Seeing that Muichiro retreated and was no longer attacking directly, Lower Rank Six Riku couldn't help but grin.
"How about that? Do you believe me now? You can't beat me by yourself! You'd better call your companion over too!"
This time, Teiichi finally paid him some attention and looked at Muichiro.
"How about it?"
Muichiro gently shook his head. "I want to try again!"
Upon hearing this, Teiichi couldn't help but smile with relief and nodded gently.
"Alright, go ahead, just don't use a strategy of trading blows for damage!"
Muichiro nodded and stepped out again.
Seeing that he was still alone, Lower Rank Six felt underestimated. His grin disappeared, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Since you're not afraid of death, I'll kill this brat first, and then deal with the other one!
Both sides charged at each other again.
The clanging sound rang out again on the battlefield, accompanied by the cracking sound of vines lashing out.
Lower Rank Six raised his fist, with dark blue flames swirling around his arm.
The next moment, flames suddenly erupted from behind his elbow.
The sudden increase in thrust caused the punch's attack speed to increase dramatically.
