Chapter 670: A Talent Comparable to Kei Ken Eiji Finally Appears!
Chapter 670: A Talent Comparable to Kei Ken Eiji Finally Appears!
Compared to other man-eating demons, Gyutaro Kurumado had twelve weaknesses under Yecheng's gaze, not too many, but not too few either.
The head that Yecheng had just pierced with White Lightning was also one of Gyutaro Kurumado's weaknesses.
For ordinary man-eating demons, even finding just one weakness and using it as a breakthrough point would be enough to defeat them.
But Yecheng could clearly sense that one of Gyutaro Kurumado's weaknesses, which he had just discovered and successfully attacked, did not result in his demise. Instead, under the 'Spirit Vision,' the weakness vanished!
"Spirit Breathing Technique - Second Form: Crescent Heaven Thrust!"
Facing Gyutaro Kurumado's swinging whip-like tentacles, Yecheng felt the pressure intensify as he realized that in this narrow alley, he was at a significant disadvantage against Gyutaro Kurumado's area-of-effect attacks.
As the high-density spirit energy-compressed crescent slash left its blade, Gyutaro Kurumado was left dumbfounded.
Gyutaro Kurumado, who had lived for over a thousand years, had witnessed countless Demon Slayer Corps breathing techniques, but this particular style was entirely new to him. First, it seemed to grant the user a transparent world, allowing them to see through to the very essence of their being, and now, it manifested as an outwardly dangerous slashing attack.
Gyutaro Kurumado could tell that Yecheng's breathing technique was unlike any he had encountered before, and the power it harnessed was beyond that of ordinary humans.
As the crescent slash, several meters high, burst forth, the tentacles blocking its path were instantly severed like strands of noodles.
The severed tentacles, now lying on the ground, did not die but instead writhed like disgusting tendrils, wriggling frantically.
The ground beneath the crescent slash was plowed, creating a deep trench several dozen meters long.
The narrow alley, once an advantageous battleground for Gyutaro Kurumado due to its confined space, now became a liability.
Within this limited area, his seven-meter-long tentacles could reach any corner.
But now, as he witnessed the crescent slash approaching him head-on, Gyutaro Kurumado's expression grew grim.
In the two-meter-wide alley, with Yecheng on one side and Gyutaro Kurumado on the other, there was no escape from the crescent slash.
It wasn't that Gyutaro Kurumado had weakened to the point of being unable to tear down the walls on either side; the speed of the Crescent Heaven Thrust was simply too fast, leaving him no time to react.
As the crescent slash drew closer, Gyutaro Kurumado could only grit his teeth, controlling the nine tentacles extending from his body to encase himself in a large ball of flesh.
Soon, a mouth with sharp teeth appeared on the surface of the tentacle-fused meatball.
As the crescent slash approached, the toothed mouth roared, releasing a powerful shockwave.
"Boom——————!"
In the instant the Crescent Heaven Thrust collided with the shockwave, spirit energy and ghostly aura formed two pillars of light, one blue and the other red, shooting skyward.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, all buildings within a few hundred meters of the alley were instantly reduced to rubble.
The commotion attracted the attention of Asakusa's residents, who quickly realized something was amiss and fled the area.
A similar scene unfolded in another corner of Asakusa, where Tanjiro Kamado and his companions, having just finished their own battle, witnessed the two pillars of light rising into the sky. "That must be where Yecheng is fighting that man-eating demon!"
Speaking without intention, but the listener had their own thoughts.
When Tanjiro Kamado mentioned the distant commotion, saying that members of the Demon Slayer Corps were fighting Man-Eating Demons, the woman with long black hair, dressed in deep purple kimono, and a beautiful face, standing beside him, became excited. "Tanjiro, are you saying that the person fighting over there is the senior who came with you?"
This beautiful woman was named Tsuzuki, and the smug-looking man beside her was named Yushiro.
Whether it was Tsuzuki or Yushiro, they were both Man-Eating Demons, but they were different from other Man-Eating Demons.
Tsuzuki and Yushiro bore no ill will towards humans. They only needed a small amount of human blood to sustain their daily needs.
Previously, they had been hiding within the Blood Demon Art barrier, living in seclusion in Asakusa.
All Man-Eating Demons had some connection to Gyutaro Kurumado. It was no surprise that Tsuzuki was also involved.
Originally, she was just an ordinary housewife with a husband and daughter. But due to a terminal illness and her desire to see her daughter grow up healthy, she was deceived by Gyutaro Kurumado and eventually turned into a Man-Eating Demon.
After becoming a Man-Eating Demon, she even lost her sanity and killed her husband and daughter.
Finally, through sheer willpower, Tsuzuki regained her sanity and made avenging Gyutaro Kurumado her sole motivation for living.
It was common knowledge that Man-Eating Demons couldn't defy Gyutaro Kurumado, after all, he was the Progenitor of Demons.
So, Tsuzuki could only endure the humiliation and resentment, serving as Gyutaro Kurumado's maid until the appearance of Keigen Enichi hundreds of years ago.
Keigen Enichi drove Gyutaro Kurumado into a desperate escape, but he didn't kill Tsuzuki because he could tell that although she was a demon, her heart remained human.
Over hundreds of years, Tsuzuki, through constant study and research, and with her expertise in medicine, finally managed to free herself from Gyutaro Kurumado's control through drugs and body modification. She also reduced her craving and need for flesh and blood.
Tanjiro and his sister were originally in a difficult battle against Yuhari and Suzu. But when Tsuzuki saw that the person fighting alongside Tanjiro was also a Man-Eating Demon, she became intrigued and decided to help.
Yuhari was slain by Tanjiro, but Tanjiro himself was already severely injured.
The remaining individuals were all Man-Eating Demons, incapable of killing Suzu, who was also a Man-Eating Demon.
So, Tsuzuki could only use her Blood Demon Art to create an environment that forced Suzu to reveal information about Gyutaro Kurumado, which led to the death of her cells.
Although it was to kill Suzu, the intelligence she revealed in the end also startled Tsuzuki.
She never expected that Gyutaro Kurumado, the demon she most wanted to kill, was actually in Asakusa at that moment.
What surprised Tsuzuki even more was that someone in Asakusa at that time could rival Gyutaro Kurumado!
She had waited for hundreds of long years, always hoping for a genius like Keigen Enichi to emerge and constantly thinking about ways to defeat the invincible monster, Gyutaro Kurumado.
After a hundred years, she had finally come up with a way to break Gyutaro Kurumado's invincible vitality, but she lacked an opponent who could match him.
Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that in Asakusa, a genius comparable to Keigen Enichi would finally reappear!
