They slowly walked towards the enormous ice crystal Bodhisattva.
This is the second time Teiichi came into this world.
The situation was different from the last time in Aomori City.
Last time, I was somewhat provoked by the news of Rena's death, and I was a little consumed by anger.
This time, it was entirely my own choice.
I thought I would be very nervous.
But surprisingly, I felt remarkably calm.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to have become much wider.
And so, Teiichi slowly walked to a spot about forty or fifty meters away from the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva.
Doma stood quietly atop the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva, his gaze piercing the frigid air, fixed intently on the Teiichi -faced Teiichi standing below, and spoke:
"Hey! Were you trying to run away just now?"
Teiichi looked up and his gaze met that of Doma. He nodded slightly, making no attempt to hide his earlier thought of running away.
"I did try to run away just now, so what?"
Seeing the pillar below admit that he had just tried to run away, Doma couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Then why did you come back again?"
Teiichi chuckled softly, "I just suddenly wanted to try something different!"
Upon hearing Teiichi's words, Doma nodded as if he understood but not quite.
Although I didn't quite understand what the pillar below was saying, the end result was that he turned around and fought me.
This result was no different from the column selections I had encountered before.
They were all prepared to sacrifice themselves to protect others.
I really don't understand these humans! They could save so many more people by sacrificing their own lives!
Is this what humans call emotion?
Tilting his head, Doma decided not to investigate further, nor did he have the time to.
The Demon Slayer below are not so easy to deal with.
If I don't start now, and it drags on until dawn, I'll really become a laughing stock!
Without further Teiichi about who would make the first move, Doma raised his hand first.
The delicate folding fan unfolded lightly at his fingertips, like an ice flower blooming in the cold wind.
With a flick of his wrist, an invisible force instantly flowed into the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva. The massive ice crystal statue seemed to come alive, its lips slowly opening to exhale a chilling breath.
This chilling aura, mixed with tiny ice crystals, poured down like a torrent, but instead of directly targeting Teiichi, it cleverly chose the battlefield below as its objective.
Upon touching the ground, the freezing air spread rapidly, solidifying the already frigid air even more, as if to freeze the entire space into a desolate ice field.
Seeing that Doma wanted to create a battlefield more suitable for himself, Teiichi did not sit idly by and began to operate his Breathing Style at full power.
Wind Breathing!
Ninth Form - Idaten Typhoon!
Three in a row!
In his hands, the Nichirin Blade transformed into a messenger of the wind, wielding with astonishing speed.
Three powerful tornadoes instantly formed, carrying the force to tear through the air, and swept away in three directions: left front, front, and right front.
When the tornado met the spreading freezing air, it was not contained. Instead, it seemed to find an outlet, drawing in the cold air and ice crystals and continuing to move towards the ice sculpture of the Buddha, creating a series of spectacular natural wonders.
Seeing one of his most powerful attacks so easily neutralized, Doma frowned deeply.
Raise both hands slightly.
The ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva, whose hands were originally clasped together, slowly separated and raised to the left and right sides, as if performing some ancient ritual.
Swish!
Gale howled past.
The giant ice sculpture arm transformed into a knife, slicing the approaching tornado in half.
This time, Doma did not try using the freezing air again.
Two failed attempts had made him realize that while freezing air was a deadly threat to most Demon Slayer...
However, it's not very effective against the Demon Slayer below.
Rumble! Rumble!
The enormous sound, like the footsteps of an ancient behemoth, shook the surrounding air.
The ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva approached Teiichi with incredible gliding motion, as if an iceberg were collapsing. As the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva moved forward, the ground rumbled loudly.
The ground trembled under its weight, emitting muffled rumbles. Trees along the way were easily broken and crushed like fragile straws, turning into a scene of devastation.
Teiichi stood still, staring at the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva that pressed down like a mountain, and couldn't help but twitch his eyelids slightly.
A wave of fear washed over me, and my body seemed to instinctively want to tremble—it was the fear of giants etched into my genes.
Some might say that modern people are used to skyscrapers.
42 meters is only about 14 or 15 stories high, which is nothing to modern people.
But when faced with this situation in reality, things that move and things that don't are two completely different things.
If it could also make noise, the level of terror would increase dramatically.
suck--!
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his body's instinctive reaction, and stared at the giant ice sculpture charging towards him, thinking about how to fight next.
First, you need to be clear about how much effort you would need to cut off any part of the ice sculpture.
In other words, we need to determine the hardness of this ice sculpture, as subsequent battles will be based on this.
In the original story, the ice sculpture Bodhisattva appears to have attacked with a hand chop, but we can't cling to that idea.
With its size, it could cause significant damage even if it charged headlong into something.
However, it's difficult to dodge a head-on collision.
Having finished his thought, Teiichi suddenly shifted to the side, nimbly circling around the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva like a cheetah. His movements were swift and decisive, attempting to use speed to evade this seemingly unsolvable attack.
However, the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva reacted just as quickly, its massive body adjusting its direction and continuing its relentless pursuit.
However, due to its large size, the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva, while not slow, could not move as fast Upper Rank.
If Teiichi were willing, he could easily shake off the ice sculpture of the Bodhisattva.
But if they were going to run away, Teiichi. Now that they've returned, it's for the fight.
With Teiichi releasing water, the distance between the two sides slowly closed.
Just as the distance between Teiichi and the ice sculpture Bodhisattva shrank to a dozen meters, Doma finally controlled the ice sculpture Bodhisattva to make his move.
His arms were raised high.
The ice sculpture was already 42 meters tall, and with the arms outstretched upwards, the final height reached fifty or sixty meters.
After a quick aim, a hand chop swiftly slammed downwards.
Fast! Very fast!
Unlike his relatively slow movement, the speed of his hand blade was no slower than that of Doma himself.
Swish!
The airflow along the way was torn apart by this force, producing a sharp whistling sound, as if even space itself trembled at that moment.
After accelerating for fifty or sixty meters, plus the weight carried by the giant ice sculpture arm itself.
This moment!
The power of this hand chop is unstoppable by any living creature in the world.
Even Muzan would be smashed into a pulp by this single hand chop.
Faced with this unstoppable attack, Teiichi displayed astonishing reaction speed. He suddenly pushed off the ground, his body shooting out like an arrow, instantly escaping the range of the hand chop.
Bang!
