"Suck--"
" Wind Breathing!"
A strong wind began to surge around Teiichi.
" Ninth Form!"
" Idaten Typhoon!"
On the flat ground, a sudden gust of wind arose, and an irresistible force coalesced into a tornado several meters high, which was born in front of Teiichi with a roar, like the wrath of a god, rushing towards Doma.
As the tornado moved forward, the surrounding icy mist was sucked into it, becoming part of the tornado itself.
Instantly, the tornado, which had been stirring up dust and gravel, was tinged with an icy blue color.
The interplay of blue and black is both eerie and magnificent, showcasing a strange and unsettling beauty.
The tornado relentlessly advanced towards the direction where Doma was located.
It absorbed all the fog along the way, making the surrounding air fresher and clearer than ever before.
In dealing with this move, the superiority of Wind Breathing was fully demonstrated at this moment.
If a swordsman using other Breathing Style were to face this attack, they would really have no effective way to escape the area shrouded in mist.
However, even if a swordsman using the Wind Breathing cannot unleash such a large tornado as Teiichi, the sword form will still bring a whirlwind when using the sword form.
Perhaps these strong winds are not yet concentrated enough to cause harm.
But if it's just about blowing away the fog that's lingering in the air, it's more than enough.
This is the same place as Doma, with a deep blue mist filling the air.
However, Kanae's lungs suffered severe frostbite, while Teiichi's lungs only suffered minor frostbite in the same situation.
When using the sword form, the icy blue mist has difficulty directly penetrating Teiichi's side.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Wind Breathing is better.
Each Breathing Style Breathing Style has its own advantages and disadvantages.
But at least when facing Doma's attack, the Wind Breathing has an advantage that other breathing techniques cannot match.
far away.
The moment the Doma, several meters high, took shape, the habitual smile on Doma's lips vanished, replaced by the emotionless expression that Kanae had seen through.
At this moment, Doma looked indifferently at the tornado rushing towards him, without the slightest tension.
I originally thought that I could win more easily with methamphetamine, but I didn't expect that my desire to make things easier would cause me to waste so much time.
Looks like we need to get serious, otherwise...
Those two Demon Slayer really did get away tonight...
As he pondered, Doma placed his hands on either side of his body.
He slowly unfolded his folding fan, gently raised both hands, and lightly covered his face with the fan, as if performing a sacred ritual.
" Blood Demon Art!"
As the fan-shaped patterns intertwined, Doma's eyes suddenly snapped open, his rainbow-like pupils shimmering with an eerie light.
"Fog ice!"
The fan continued to move, positioned on his left and right shoulders. As he spoke, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and icy blue mist rapidly condensed, as if even time itself had stopped.
" Water Lily Bodhisattva!"
A detached voice rang out.
Beneath his feet, ice crystals began to gather and grow wildly, and a Bodhisattva quietly took shape.
Doma's figure gradually rose higher.
5 meters...
10 meters...
15 meters...
20 meters...
The ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva had already surpassed the height of the tornado Teiichi, but it continued to rise.
25 meters...
30 meters...
40 meters...
42 meters!
Finally, the ultimate move unleashed by Doma at his peak— Rime — Water Lily Bodhisattva— was frozen at a terrifying 42 meters.
Doma stood atop the Bodhisattva, looking down at the battlefield below, his eyes flashing with coldness and determination.
He gently raised his hand, and the ice sculpture of the Water Lily Bodhisattva seemed to sense its master's will, raising its right hand as well.
Swish!
The massive hand-shaped blade swung out with tremendous force, slicing through the center of the tornado with perfect precision.
In an instant, the raging tornado seemed to encounter an irresistible force, easily torn apart, turning into countless tiny air currents that scattered in all directions.
As the tornado dissipated, a giant ice figure came into Teiichi, wearing an ice crown, with hands clasped together and a dot on its forehead, resembling a Bodhisattva, with a solemn and dignified appearance. Behind it, several huge ice crystal lotus flowers were connected by vines.
Looking at the enormous ice sculpture of a Bodhisattva before him, Teiichi frowned.
Or should I just run away with Kanae?
I have a general idea of my current strength, and today's mission was to save Kanae. Now that the mission can be completed more easily, why bother fighting so hard?
This Bodhisattva doesn't look very agile; how could she possibly run away with Kanae by herself?
" Teiichi- kun, cough cough... We can't defeat this one, you run first! I'll hold them off for you. If it were you, you'd definitely be able to escape!"
The gentle words reached Teiichi's ears from afar.
He turned abruptly and swiftly appeared beside Kanao, sheathing his Nichirin Blade with fluid and decisive movements.
He crouched down and naturally reached out his hands to Kanae, intending to pick her up.
" Teiichi- jun, what are you doing?"
Kanae looked at Teiichi's actions and asked in confusion.
"I'll run with you, don't worry, this Ice Bodhisattva is so big, it definitely can't outrun me!"
Kanae reached out and Teiichi her hand on Teiichi's hand, which was reaching behind her back.
Stopped from moving, Teiichi looked at Kanae with Teiichi puzzled expression.
"There are still ordinary people around. We can't all run away, or this ghost will kill the others!"
Besides, this ghost only eats women, so isn't it just right that I'm left here?"
Kanae looked at Teiichi and smiled gently, her face showing no fear of facing death.
Hearing Kanae's words, Teiichi was taken aback.
Ordinary person?
Teiichi parted her lips slightly, about to say that only by surviving can we save more people.
The figures of Mr. Shoma and Rena seemed to appear before my eyes.
Past experiences flashed before my eyes, and it seemed that I had never been able to protect the people around me.
Perhaps all my past experiences can be attributed to my own lack of ability.
While this seems to be true, due to the overly comfortable life I led in my previous existence, it seems that my first thought when facing difficulties is to escape...
I didn't run away when I was in Aomori City, but now that I think about it carefully, it seems that it was because I was shocked by the news of Rena's death.
This was true in Yamada Town, and it remains true today.
Even though he wasn't necessarily outmatched by Doma Water Lily Bodhisattva, his priority was still to run away and fight later when he was stronger...
Thoughts raced through my mind.
Suddenly, a hand covered Teiichi's head and rubbed it.
"You should leave now! I'll take care of things here!"
Gentle words reached my ears.
Teiichi slowly raised his head and looked at Kanae, who had a smile on her face that seemed like that of an angel.
He stared blankly at Kanae for a long time, Teiichi, and he slowly stood up.
"You just sit here and rest. Leave the rest to me!"
The calm words reached Kanae's ears, and Kanae's eyes widened in surprise.
The clever girl immediately realized Teiichi was trying to do and quickly said...
" Teiichi, this is my choice, and you don't need to be responsible for it!"
Kanae Teiichi, but didn't respond to Kanae words. Instead, he said:
"You don't want me to knock you out and then have to take care of you, do you?"
A gentle voice rang out, interrupting Kanae's attempt to get up.
After hesitating for a moment, Kanae slowly nodded.
Seeing Kanae obediently sit back down, Teiichi smiled.
He reached out a hand and placed it on Kanae's head, gently rubbing it.
"Don't touch a man's head anymore, or you'll stunt your growth!"
An indescribable sense of delicacy and softness emanated from my palm.
At that moment, it seemed as if a bolt of lightning had exploded between their intertwined gazes.
It's not just a simple physical touch, but a spiritual connection between two people.
At that moment, feelings began to sprout in their hearts.
Suppressing his reluctance to let go of this feeling, Teiichi turned around.
I walked to a spot about forty or fifty meters away from the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva.
Under the moonlight.
A 42-meter-tall ice sculpture of a Bodhisattva stands opposite a 1.7-meter-tall Teiichi.
