Chapter 129: The Sakura Dragon of the Supreme Realm.

...

In the dark alley.

"Meow."

Chachamaru, scared, squatted in the corner, and as soon as it saw Tanjuro, it happily pounced over.

As a result, it didn't expect that there would be such a powerful demon nearby.

And the backpack was hit.

Its gaze fell on the pink liquid that had flowed down from its back all the way.

——It seems to have caused trouble.

Its vertical pupils were full of confusion.

Chachamaru shrank its head back uneasily, praying in its heart that Yushiro would not blame it.

Behind it, in the broken backpack.

rustle..

The envelope slowly appeared, fell to the ground, under the pale moonlight, revealing the words on it.

[Kamado-san]

[After experimentation, this potion was extracted from your blood.]

[It contains a certain hallucinogenic component, the images seen are not the same, the main content varies from person to person]

[For every person or demon, it can only produce an effect once.]

The author seemed to pause when writing this, there was a cluster of lingering ink on the paper.

[Among the two potions, the one with the label has a very high concentration, no one has yet wanted to test it, please use it with caution.]

Chachamaru's gaze stayed on the street, at the broken mouth of the test tube,

There, a small label was attached.

The thunder flickered in the suddenly surging dark sky, and the oppressive clouds quickly gathered.

Not far away.

Step.

Tomioka Giyu stopped, he looked ahead, the humid breath almost hit his face.

The moment he saw the golden thunder flashing down.

——Master Urokodaki.

He stood still.

——I'm not mistaken.

At this time.

Not far away, a certain flame figure that was rushing forward noticed something unusual about Tomioka, he stomped his foot hard, and twisted his ankle.

The direction of the sprint suddenly changed.

Swish!

Bang!

A huge force came from behind, and it hit Tomioka Giyu's back hard.

!

Caught off guard, Tomioka Giyu threw his head back, stumbled forward a few steps, and turned his head in surprise to look behind him.

"Tomioka!"

"Can I call you that?"

Rengoku Kyojuro peered out from the side with bright eyes, patting Tomioka's shoulder with a worried look:

"Are you okay, you suddenly stopped?"

As he spoke, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, seemingly not giving Tomioka a chance to speak, with a cheerful smile:

"Well, I couldn't catch up either, that demon runs really fast!"

"The information is correct, it's indeed an Upper Rank!"

Laughing, he looked at Tomioka, straightened up slightly:

"Let's work hard together!"

Tomioka Giyu stared at him for a while.

Then turned his head away.

"...Hmm." He nodded in a flat tone.

...

...

Ahead.

Tanjuro, holding Kusabimaru, leapt high on the roof behind Akaza.

[Lightning of Tomoe]

Booom!!

"Thunder...?!"

In Akaza's suddenly shrinking golden pupils, under the brightness of the thunder, Tanjuro's leaping figure in mid-air was reflected.

He turned around abruptly, feeling the tingling sensation on his body.

—It's real thunder!

His eyes became serious, looking in Tanjuro's direction.

"Can humans really go this far..."

The thunder shone in his eyes:

"...An incredible miracle."

There's no scent of demon art.

Although it's unclear how it was done, obviously, this level of thunder summoning has reached, or even surpassed, the demon art of Upper Rank demons.

At the same time, he also didn't understand why Tanjuro didn't want to become a demon—after becoming a demon, such abilities would be even stronger.

—Wasting on the mere decades of human life, what a pity.

And, this kind of grand attack will obviously make the advantage of [Supreme Realm] completely disappear.

It's even like telling himself openly that the real attack is here.

"Hahaha!"

And this also means—

Akaza raised his head abruptly, laughing loudly, his eyes looking excitedly at the thunder coming in mid-air:

"That's it!"

—The other party doesn't want to sneak attack, or win by despicable means!

Creak...

He clenched his fist abruptly, his face illuminated by the golden thunder light, the snowflake pattern of the Compass Needle under his feet was extremely dazzling at this moment, facing the Thunder of the Bar head-on, his tone was high:

"—Fight with me with all your might!"

As for the previous warning from Muzan-sama, Akaza had long thrown it behind his head.

Facing the demon slayer who probably kill the Upper Rank One, he had no reason not to fight.

He stomped on the ground abruptly, infusing all his strength.

Boom!!

Dust erupted violently behind him, Akaza laughed wildly, turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Tanjuro!

Although there's no intuitive fighting spirit, Akaza could vaguely feel it.

This demon slayer... is stronger than him.

But that's better!

If you want to become stronger, you can't always fight with the weak.

When he was still Upper Rank Three, he dared to challenge Kokushibo to a blood battle for position change, and he didn't have a cowardly heart!

Only by being fully focused, fighting with all your might.

—Can you become stronger!

Whoosh—swish!

"Haha!" Akaza appeared in front of Tanjuro who was leaping in mid-air, his face was burned by the thunder, but he had an excited smile to the point of exaggeration.

The fist that had been gathering strength had already broken through the air, swinging out swiftly.

Tanjuro lowered his eyes, staring at the rapidly approaching Akaza.

"Hiss——!"

[Sun Breathing]

The Kusabimaru in his hand was held high, wrapped in thunder, and slashed hard.

Swish!

The golden thunder wrapped around the red-hot Kusabimaru, the light burning to the extreme instantly drew a sword light in the night sky!

[Dance——Enbu]!

Akaza's pupils trembled and moved.

As expected!

The Compass Needle had no reaction at all!

But his eyes were fixed on Tanjuro's sword.

Upon seeing the sword slashing horizontally, he smirked, abruptly tightened his abdomen, lowered his head, and declared with a high spirit:

"I'm right...!"

Whoosh!

Lowering his head, he suddenly dodged the thunderous slash. He withdrew his gaze from the sword, and Akaza stared directly at Tanjuro:

"You should become a demon! This is too disadvantageous for battle!"

"Leaping in mid-air, but as a human, you simply can't use more sword techniques and moves..."

During the conversation, Akaza and Tanjuro's eyes met.

Akaza clearly saw his own reflection in the other's dark red eyes, which were as smooth as a mirror.

There were no emotions in these calm eyes.

Neither killing intent nor fighting spirit existed.

So that's how it is.

While speaking, Akaza gradually became lost in thought, and he suddenly paused.

— The so-called "Selfless State"

— So that's what it is.

Click.

Akaza was ducking his head to avoid, and looked up at Tanjuro.

At this moment.

A pitch-black gun muzzle suddenly appeared in the middle of his field of vision.

He was taken aback.

His thoughts had just risen for a moment.

What is this—

"Bang! Bang!"

His words and thoughts were abruptly cut off by two dull sounds.

"Ugh!" Blood spurted from Akaza's left eye, his pupil darkened, and he lowered his head in surprise, his remaining eye looking at Tanjuro's other hand.

Click...

There, a pitch-black gun muzzle was emitting white smoke, and Tanjuro was rotating the cylinder of the revolver with one hand.

Clang! Clang!

The brass shell casings, drifting with smoke, were immediately ejected and rolled onto the roof.

Plop.

A human and a demon landed on the roof at the same time.

"What!" Akaza widened his eyes, he covered the sudden wound on his left eye, and his gaze fell on the revolver in Tanjuro's hand.
