At that moment, Sera seemed to be stepping on flowing water that rose from the heavens.
Total Concentration Water Breathing, Seventh Form: Water Drop Ripple Thrust!
With a powerful upward strike, a massive wave surged forth. The wave collided with the fierce wind, creating only a few splashes before the gale was completely engulfed.
Shinazugawa Sanemi raised his Nichirin Blade high.
Total Concentration Wind Breathing, Fourth Form: Rising Sandstorm!
What was originally an upward attack was transformed by Shinazugawa Sanemi into a downward strike aimed directly at the enormous wave below. A whirlwind formed around him and plunged into the water, creating a vortex.
However, gradually, the speed of the whirlpool slowed until it finally settled.
Sera retracted the tide.
Only then did Shinazugawa Sanemi reveal himself, crashing onto the ground.
Seeing that the battle had ended, Shinobu Kocho rushed over and crouched beside Shinazugawa Sanemi to examine him closely. He showed signs of oxygen deprivation and some traces of drowning, with several fractures on his body, though nothing too serious.
As she spoke to her master, she instructed the Wandering Crows to call for people from the Butterfly House to come and carry Shinazugawa Sanemi away.
Ubuyashiki Yoya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Shinazugawa Sanemi wasn’t severely injured. Even from dozens of meters away, he could feel the intensity of the battle between the two sides.
What surprised him even more was that one of the strongest Hashira, Shinazugawa Sanemi, had been bested by Sera, who had only learned Breathing Techniques for less than two months and hadn’t even revealed any special abilities yet.
The lady’s strength is truly formidable! Ubuyashiki Yoya remarked to Kei Yunqing.
Kei Yunqing nodded in agreement.
In terms of swordsmanship, unless one reaches an exceptionally high level of understanding, even those who have not trained extensively can defeat their seniors as long as their physical prowess is strong enough. Moreover, Sera is a natural talent herself.
Although she used Clear Mind magic, it cannot be denied that Sera possesses innate gifts, just like Lilu Lu; both are equally talented.
Ubuyashiki Yoya observed the large crater created by Sera and nodded; even a strike from a Rock Pillar wouldn’t create something this massive.
Now, Ubuyashiki Yoya found himself at a loss for words. Initially, he believed Kei Yunqing could contend with the Demon King, but now he realized their strengths were quite similar; it was merely said that they could repel him.
As he contemplated recruiting Kei Yunqing to join him in killing the Demon King, he realized that the woman beside him had already reached peak pillar-level strength after just over a month of training under the Cultivator. Moreover, there were three others with similar capabilities. With such strength combined with Kei Yunqing's own power, he had come to believe in the reality of Kei Yunqing's ability to repel Muzan.
Kei Yunqing had already declared that he would kill Muzan upon encountering him, leaving their current leader uncertain about what to do next. Ubuyashiki Yoya thought for a moment.
"Let’s search for the Demon King’s location. Once we find him, you can go and kill him, how does that sound?"
They had originally set out with the ambition to eliminate the Demon King and establish the Demon Slayer Corps, yet here they were, considering helping someone else to achieve that goal. However, it didn’t matter as long as their objectives aligned.
Upon hearing Ubuyashiki Yoya's words, Kei Yunqing nodded. He felt he had spent enough time in this world; killing the Demon King would bring an end to the story of the Demon Slayer.
"Just keep me informed when you have news," Ubuyashiki Yoya said with a smile. It didn’t matter if it wasn’t the Demon Slayer Corps that killed the Demon King; what mattered was that he was dead. Once the Demon King fell, Kanao Tsuyuri’s curse would be lifted. The mere thought of ending the curse while he was still alive filled Ubuyashiki Yoya with joy.
"Then please stay here for now, Kei Yunqing. I will notify you immediately once we discover the Demon King's whereabouts."
"Understood."
Today at home, I’ll write a chapter first. When I have time at home, I’ll update right away. The first half was written on my computer, and the second half on my phone, so I couldn’t insert any images.
