Getting along

If I hadn't gained Transparent World and strengthened my control over my body, and if I hadn't grasped the principle of handling Lifting Light as Though Heavy, dealing with this situation would be really troublesome.

but...

This is good, this way I can hold out for a while longer... Tengen Uzui thought to himself.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...

The icicle rain continued, during which Tengen Uzui had already changed two stones.

With each impact of the stone and icicle, the pain in his palm gradually intensified.

Finally, at a certain moment.

A trickle of blood dripped down from Tengen Uzui's palm.

Tengen Uzui stared at the falling, round drop of bright red blood, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Can't this go on any longer?"

He gripped the stone with both hands, lifted it, and knocked down two more icicles with two clangs.

Then he raised his gaze, looking at the ice pillar that was shooting towards him, and at Doma was even further away than the ice pillar.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of something thinly cutting through the air came again.

This time, however, it wasn't Doma's icicles, but two small pebbles that flew in two arcs through the air toward Doma.

Doma's lips curled up slightly as he gazed at the Demon Slayer in the distance.

"Is it time to start the counterattack? I can't wait!"

The folding fan was gently unfolded in front of Doma.

Clang! Clang!

With two crisp sounds, the pebble struck the folding fan, but did not cause any harm to the Doma.

Tengen Uzui didn't expect the two pebbles to cause any damage. Taking advantage of the moment when Doma distracted by the pebbles and the ice pillar attack was temporarily suspended, Tengen Uzui slightly bent down, and then...

Suck--!

"Sound Breathing!"

"Third Form: Sound of No Echo!"

"Tengen Uzui shouted, his hands tightly gripping two brand-new stones that had just been replaced," he said.

His body suddenly leaned forward, like an arrow released from a bow, resolutely charging towards the evil Doma in the distance, facing the rain of ice pillars shooting towards him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

As Tengen Uzui charged forward with tremendous force, the pebbles in his hand traced sharp trajectories in the air, striking the ice pillars with precision.

An invisible sound wave rippled outwards from the point of impact between the pebble and the icicle.

The ice pillars' attack slowed down somewhat without anyone noticing, allowing Tengen Uzui's forward momentum to ease a little.

However, Tengen Uzui was not satisfied with this.

The Third Form: Sound of No Echo is the most unique move in the Tengen Uzui sword style.

He can damage enemies by using the sonic waves generated from the collision of attacks. If there is no collision, he can also generate such sonic waves by colliding his own Nichirin Blade.

When facing ordinary demons, if the opponent cannot even reach the Lower Rank, he can even use this move to damage the demon's brain and knock it unconscious from a distance.

Even when the crest of a moon is Lower Rank, movement will be greatly affected.

For him right now, using this trick to Lower Rank is not as fast as going over and slashing it with a single blow.

But this also shows how powerful this move is!

After all, it's one of the few techniques in the Demon Slayer Corps that can attack from a distance.

Moreover, this move is quite unique.

In the current environment, nobody has a good way to defend against this move.

This is also Teiichi, when Dingyi faced Muzan's attack before, even though there was still some distance between them, his ears still bled as soon as he was hit.

No matter how strong your physical abilities are, it's still very difficult to defend against this kind of move.

But now...

Tengen Uzui frowned slightly and looked at Doma.

In the distance, they saw Doma his head with one hand, staring in their direction with a slight frown.

It's clear that there has been some impact, but it's not significant.

This can Ueya be seen from the attack of the icicles.

The ice pillars continued to shoot towards Tengen Uzui, but not as smoothly as before.

Seeing Doma's expression, Tengen Uzui frowned deeply.

Although he hadn't intended to kill the Upper Rank directly with this move, as expected...

Without Nichirin Blade, is it impossible to achieve the maximum effect of Sound of No Echo with just two pebbles?

The battle continued, leaving no time for Tengen Uzui to think too much.

Tengen Uzui, clutching a pebble, charged towards Doma.

He quickly arrived in front of Doma.

Gazing at Doma so close at hand, Tengen Uzui raised the pebble high in his right hand, and then...

Bang!

A dull yet crisp thud rang out as the stone and the folding fan in Doma's hand collided heavily.

The next moment, the distance between the two suddenly increased.

Tengen Uzui did not immediately launch an attack on Doma, nor did Doma attack. Instead, he stood still, watching Tengen Uzui with great interest.

Tengen Uzui frowned as he looked at Doma. Seeing that the other party had no intention of attacking for the time being, he glanced down at his hand holding the pebble.

The pebble that was originally a single piece in his hand shattered into several pieces the instant it collided with the folding fan, just like fragile glass.

If it weren't for Tengen Uzui holding it firmly in his hand, the folding fan would have hit Tengen Uzui's hand directly.

But what truly concerned Tengen Uzui was not this, but rather...

Tengen Uzui frowned as he stared at the blue frost covering his entire palm and wrist, a chilling coldness and a slight numbness spreading through his hands.

With a slight exertion of force, Tengen Uzui's fingers, which had become somewhat stiff from being corroded by frost, loosened with difficulty. The pebbles in his hand fell to the ground with a soft thud as his fingers released their grip.

Without time to prepare much, Tengen Uzui swiftly lifted his foot and pinched a new stone in his hand.

"Eh? You're still planning to throw stones at me?" Doma's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Tengen Uzui's actions, and his slightly mocking voice echoed across the silent battlefield.

Tengen Uzui ignored Doma's words and instead frowned as he estimated the time.

Since the start of the battle, it has only consisted of the initial attack with the ice sculpture arms and the subsequent attack with the ice pillar rain.

Although I managed to rush up, I've only managed to land one hit so far.

Does that mean that guy from Kanroji might not even have finished descending the mountain yet?

Thinking of this, Tengen Uzui's heart sank.

Seeing that the pillar in front of him ignored him, Doma said with some distress:

"How about this? I won't kill you, and you shouldn't get in my way! How about we all get along amicably like this?"

Tengen Uzui sneered and said, "Heh, dream on!"

Doma frowned slightly, looking troubled, and said:

"Really, we're all out on a mission! Why make things difficult for each other?"
