Chapter 72 The World!!!
Dio looked at Taizheng Gutian with a disdainful sneer on his face.
He felt as if he was watching a poor performance and found Taizheng Gutian's actions both ridiculous and pathetic.
"Haha, instead of running away, you're walking straight towards me?" Dio's tone was full of sarcasm and contempt.
"Breath of Fire - Vortex of Rising Flame." Tai Zheng Gu Tian growled, concentrating all his strength on the Sun Blade in his hand.
He swung the sword, and with himself as the center, a large-scale vortex of flames instantly erupted.
This flaming slash was like an angry fire dragon, rushing towards Dio Brando with the power to destroy everything.
The roar of the fire dragon was deafening, and the temperature of the flames seemed to be able to melt everything, burning and distorting the surrounding air.
"The World!!!"
Dio's low roar echoed in the air like an ancient spell.
As the sound spread, an indescribable wave surged out from Dio's body, and invisible ripples spread layer by layer in the air.
Under the influence of this wave, all the colors around were instantly stripped away, and the world fell into a gray and white world.
The rolling flames and leaping flames beside Taizheng Gutian all lost their dynamics, as if they were frozen in a still painting.
The overturned tables and chairs also stayed in mid-air, no longer bound by gravity, and just floated quietly there.
At this moment, except for Dio, all the objects around him fell into a state of time standing still.
The whole world seemed to stop for him at this moment, and he was the only master of this still time and space.
Dio Brando took a slow step forward and calmly avoided Tai Zheng Gu Tian's fatal blow.
Every step seemed so leisurely, as if one was strolling in one's own garden.
'One second, two seconds, three seconds.'
In the still world, Dio had a playful smile on his face. He silently counted the time while observing Taizheng Gutian's expression which was frozen because of the stillness of time.
When Dio recited to the third second, the surrounding environment was like a painting infused with life, and suddenly returned to normal colors.
The shackles of time being still were ruthlessly broken at this moment, and the invisible shackles were destroyed in an instant.
The flames that had been suspended regained the power to wreak havoc. They danced wildly, continuing to devour everything around them along their previous trajectory.
The overturned tables and chairs seemed to be liberated, rolling and colliding on the ground again, making loud noises.
The flaming strike, with destructive force, broke through the roof of the restaurant, and the blazing flames devoured everything around it madly.
Dio frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the suppression of his own power.
"It only lasts three seconds? It's really horrible to be suppressed." Dio's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.
After launching that attack with all his strength, Taizheng Gutian felt empty and tired.
Looking up, the place where Dio Brando had originally stood was empty, as if he had never appeared.
"Not bad, not bad! Such an aggressive application method is really amazing."
In Dio's eyes, although Tai Zheng Gutian's ripple power was weak, the fighting power he displayed was amazing.
This perfect combination of strength and skill made Dio develop a strong interest in the Demon Slayer Corps' breathing method.
You should know that normal ripple breathing focuses on self-cultivation, strengthening the body and delaying aging.
However, the Demon Slayer Corps' breathing method completely subverts this concept, bringing the power of ripples to the extreme, and everything is born for combat.
This breathing method is not only unhealthy for the body, but it actually increases the strain on the body. It is completely like drinking poison to quench thirst. The longer the battle lasts, the shorter the life span of the user will be.
This reckless fighting style shocked Dio. Even a madman like him had never seen such an extreme way of fighting.
After roughly understanding Taizheng Gutian's strength and breathing method, Dio slowly approached Taizheng Gutian, with a deep light flashing in his eyes, as if he could see through all appearances and reach the depths of his soul.
He whispered softly, and every word seemed to have magic, slowly invading Taizheng Gutian's ears and seeping into his consciousness.
Under the influence of Dio's hypnosis, Taizheng Gutian's eyes gradually became empty and confused.
He seemed to be trapped in an endless dream, unable to extricate himself.
As Taizheng Gutian tells the story, Dio gradually unveils the mystery of this world.
He learned about the existence of evil spirits, the mission of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the secret of the breathing technique.
This information gave Dio a more comprehensive understanding of the world and also made him aware of some unusual things.
After understanding the general situation, Dio Brando suddenly threw a punch, and the powerful force instantly penetrated Tai Zheng Gutian's head.
Tai Zheng Gutian's body fell heavily to the ground, blood gushed out from his broken head, quickly staining the ground red.
Dio slowly stood up and walked to the window to overlook the scenery in the distance.
The breeze ruffled his hair, but it couldn't blow away the cold aura around him.
"Kid, don't let me pull you out." An evil smile appeared at the corner of Dio's mouth. This world was destined to have only one big villain, and that was him, Dio Brando.
In a secret hut in the Infinite City that was isolated by the power of Naruto, the waxing moons gathered together to discuss the future after the death of Muzan Kibutsuji.
Yu Hu's unique perception ability was like an invisible net, covering the entire room and ensuring that their conversation would not be interrupted by any uninvited guests.
Despite this level of protection, the atmosphere in the house seemed somewhat dull and depressing.
Hantengou lay on the ground and didn't want to participate in the discussion of this matter. He seemed indifferent to the death of Muzan Kibutsuji, as if it was just a storm far away.
Akaza, who was sitting on the futon, had an impatient smile on his face, as if he was tired of this kind of discussion.
He worships power and believes that power is the master of everything.
He doesn't care who will become the new Ghost King, as long as that person can demonstrate power that convinces him.
The new member Dio Brando undoubtedly left an indelible impression on Akaza.
In Akaza's eyes, a strong man like Dio is the Demon King he recognizes.
However, when it comes to Wu Han, Akaza's attitude is completely different.
His disgust for Wu Han was almost beyond words.
If it weren't for Dio's order, Akaza would have long been unable to tolerate Wu Han's presence and would have rushed forward to twist off his head.
