Hashira unlike those before

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

While constantly dodging, Mitsuri said with a somewhat aggrieved tone:

"Doma's freezing aura isn't the only thing targeting us Pillars; even this Water Lily Bodhisattva is targeting us!! Why didn't Teiichi tell us about this?!"

Her eyes darted around, and suddenly she thought of something.

Teiichi uses the Wind Breathing Wind Breathing, which contains Wind Blade.

Therefore, even if the Nichirin Blade is not long enough, it can still cut off the entire arm of the Water Lily Bodhisattva using the Wind Blade.

Can...

"I don't use Wind Breathing! How come Doma's techniques only counter Wind Breathing? The others, whether it's freezing air or this Water Lily Bodhisattva, are all effective against other Breathing Style!" Mitsuri said with a mournful face.

Only the Wind Breathing can disperse the freezing air, and the Flame Breathing might be somewhat effective, but at the Pillar's speed, the freezing air will most likely be absorbed into the Pillar's body before it is burned away by the flames.

As for the Water Lily Bodhisattva, only the wind Wind Blade of the Wind Breathing can cut through her.

Well, Thunder Breathing has some ranged attacks, but its ranged attacks only release some lightning to paralyze the enemy; you can't expect to electrocute this arm with lightning.

Sound Breathing also has ranged attack moves, but the principle is the same as Thunder Breathing; you can't expect to break the arm of the Water Lily Bodhisattva with sound waves.

Furthermore, Shinobu 'Insect Breathing also has some ranged attack capabilities, but it only releases some poison needles from the tip of the blade, and it's even less likely to sever the arm of the Water Lily Bodhisattva.

All other techniques, whether it's Water Breathing, Flame Breathing, or even my own Love Breathing, require the Nichirin Blade to make contact with the opponent to inflict effective damage.

In other words, among the Demon Slayer Corps, only Teiichi, himself (who obtained the specially made Nichirin Blade), and Shinazugawa-kun who also uses the Wind Breathing) were capable of cutting off Water Lily Bodhisattva's arm?

Hmm...

Mitsuri considered the hardness of the Water Lily Bodhisattva's arm that she had just chopped down.

Shinazugawa-kun should be able to cut off the arm of the Water Lily Bodhisattva, right?

Aside from them, the others...

Mitsuri pondered for a moment, then thought of the strongest current Pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyomei Himejima.

Then, looking at the arm, which was twenty or thirty meters long and two or three meters wide, hurtling towards her, Mitsuri quickly shook her head.

Although Mr. Himejima is very strong, it's impossible for him to cut off or blow off that arm!

With a push of her feet, Mitsuri leaped up again, dodging the ice sculpture arm that swept across from below.

"This can't go on. Even if I don't get my Nichirin Blade, I have to find a way to fight!" Mitsuri whispered.

He quickly looked up at the top of the Water Lily Bodhisattva's head.

Since I can't cut off this arm myself, I won't fight the Water Lily Bodhisattva anymore; I'll rush up and fight the Doma!!

In the blink of an eye, Mitsuri pushed off with her feet again, her figure shifting swiftly to the side like a swallow, dodging a hand chop.

Immediately afterwards, Mitsuri moved quickly, leaping lightly into the air and swiftly landing on the arm of the tall and majestic ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva.

The moment her feet touched the ice arm, she immediately ran quickly upwards along the arm of the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva.

However, after running only a few steps, Mitsuri saw that her once smooth arm, starting from the shoulder, was now covered with sharp ice spikes that sprouted outwards like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

These ice spikes gleamed with a cold light and spread rapidly down the arm.

Upon seeing this sudden turn of events, Mitsuri's once resolute and determined face immediately fell.

Helpless, he could only jump down from the arm of the Water Lily Bodhisattva.

A series of thunderous booms rang out once more!

Unable to find a way out, Mitsuri could only keep dodging Doma's attacks on the ground.

Doma frowned as he watched Mitsuri constantly dodging below.

He discovered that this year's Pillars were significantly stronger than before!

In the past, even if Zhu couldn't be killed with one slap, it would only take a few more slaps!

But the Pillars now, whether it's the Sound Hashira who charged at me from the mountain with a rock just now, or the Love Hashira below, are all extremely strong!

Of course, they still can't beat themselves, but...

It would take me quite a while to kill them!

The key is that I've already wasted a lot of time on the mountain, so I need to hurry, or those people from the Swordsmith Village will really get away!

Thinking of this, Doma raised his folding fan with his left hand.

Two small ice figures quickly formed around him.

After the little ice figure had fully solidified, Doma looked at them and instructed them:

"Go and kill those who try to escape!"

Upon hearing the lack of a reply, Little Ice Man immediately sprang into action.

With a single step, the little ice man jumped off the head of the Water Lily Bodhisattva.

Mitsuri, who had been dodging, quickly looked at the two little ice figures and muttered:

"Is this... the Blood Demon Art that Teiichi mentioned called ' Crystalline Divine Child, ' which is even stronger than the Lower Rank?"

Only the Pillars can fight the Lower Rank Moons. The other crew members are lucky if they can even keep themselves alive when facing the Lower Rank. We absolutely cannot let them get past!

With that thought in mind, Mitsuri took a step and quickly rushed towards the two little ice figures.

Boom!

The Water Lily Bodhisattva's hand-blade suddenly landed in front of Mitsuri, then her palm swept across.

"Love Breathing - Third Form - Catlove Shower!"

Mitsuri moved swiftly across the open space, like a nimble cat.

She moved erratically, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes up, sometimes down, making it difficult to pinpoint her exact location.

Whoosh--!

The arm of the ice-sculpted Bodhisattva swept across.

Didn't hit it again?

Doma, sitting atop the ice sculpture of a bodhisattva, frowned slightly, his gaze fixed below as he searched for Mitsuri's figure.

His gaze quickly settled on Mitsuri.

However, by the time they saw it, Mitsuri had already arrived beside the little ice man.

Seeing the two little ice figures holding folding fans and trying to resist, Mitsuri quickly raised her Nichirin Blade.

Clang! Clang!

The Nichirin Blade struck the little ice man, producing two crisp sounds, and the little ice man shattered and fell to the ground.

Before she could even feel happy, Mitsuri felt the arm rushing towards her from behind and started moving again.

Above the Water Lily Bodhisattva's head, Doma's brows furrowed. He stopped trying in vain and instead manipulated the Water Lily Bodhisattva to rush straight over.

Having discovered Doma's purpose, Mitsuri quickly rushed towards the Water Lily Bodhisattva.

Using the Water Lily Bodhisattva's body for leverage, Mitsuri quickly leaped to the top of the Water Lily Bodhisattva's head.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

"Love Breathing - Fifth Form - Swaying Love, Wildclaw!"
