Yuanyi's farewell without saying goodbye made his father extremely angry, and he immediately sent someone to look for him.

However, the samurai sent to the temple to find Enichi confessed one after another after returning.

It turned out that Yuanyi, who left home, did not go to the temple as expected.

Instead, there was no news.

The genius who showed his amazing talent appeared like a meteor and disappeared quickly.

With such a result, to be honest, what Yan Sheng felt in his heart was only another kind of peace of mind.

The disappearance of his younger brother, who was far more talented than himself, brought only benefits to him.

But looking at the lonely moon hanging in the night sky, for some reason, Iwatsu's mood was like a turbulent lake, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

……

The departure of Yuan Yi brought calm back to the turmoil of the Jiguo clan before it began.

And the status of the heir of the head of the Iwakatsu family, just like that, was retained.

While cleaning his mother's room, Iwatsu accidentally found a diary full of words.

And the person who wrote this diary was none other than his younger brother, who was glued to his mother all day long, Yuan Yi.

"Rustle-rustle-rustle-"

The sound of the pages turning was unusually clear in the candle-lit room.

And as the diary was read, the green tendons on the back of Yan Sheng's hand holding the diary gradually erupted.

It turned out that the younger brother, who seemed to be cowardly and spoiled all day long, had already known about his mother's condition a few years ago, and used his immature body to support his mother's already uncontrolled left body.

And in order not to affect his future, he chose to leave early.

And he, from the beginning to the end, did not know anything.

The kindness of his younger brother did not move Yan Sheng in the slightest.

has always been a brother who stands in the position of a strong man, and his heart is filled with only the humiliation of being given mercy.

And, the hatred of the genius brother!

……

Time passed.

There was no news of the fate of leaving home, and Iwatsu, who gradually grew up, finally took over the position of the head of the Jiguo family.

And he has become a powerful warrior who is famous far and wide.

Within ten miles and eight towns, there is no one who can match him.

However, the continuous victories for more than ten years did not make Yan Sheng feel the slightest joy in his heart.

Whenever others admired his swordsmanship, Iwakatsu always remembered the boy who was able to defeat a samurai with his first swing of the sword as a child, who still saw him as a swordsman.

Although, as time passes, the sense of humiliation that Yuan Yi gave him at the beginning gradually fades......

……

On a night when he led his samurai on an expedition, while passing through the dense forest, Iwakatsu, as a human, encountered a terrifying monster that only existed in fantasy for the first time, Oni.

A body that is stronger than steel, a claw that easily breaks a sword, and a body that is so brutal that it is unreasonable......

For the first time, Iwatsu's heart felt a sense of fear.

This is not a monster that can be defeated by man.

However, just as he fell into despair, a red figure, like a shining sun, descended on the dense forest here, dispelling the boundless darkness.

With just one sword, the terrifying demon who tortured and killed dozens of samurai separated his head in front of the "sun".

Raising his head and looking at the face in front of him, although it had become mature but still unforgettable, Iwatsu was stunned for a while.

The one who appeared here was his younger brother who had disappeared for more than ten years, Yuan Yi.

Seeing his brother again Yuanyi, he still behaves with the same respect as he did when he was a child, and he doesn't know how much impact his heroic appearance of slaying evil ghosts under the full moon has had on Iwatsu.

The fire of jealousy that he thought would disappear with time ignited wantonly under Iwakatsu's calm surface, gradually engulfing his heart.

He didn't know what Yuanichi had experienced over the years, but the desire to pursue strength and swordsmanship made Iwakatsu determined to leave his wife and children behind, leave the Jiguo clan, and start following in the footsteps of his younger brother and embarking on a completely different path.

Ghost Slayer, Breathing, Ghost ......

In the never-ending battle, Iwatsu's strength gradually surpassed that of the original swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Team, but he still couldn't keep up with his younger brother's footsteps......

Even if he later awakened the markings, and even the shape of the markings on his face was exactly the same as the birthmark, that is, the shape of the markings, which had existed since the time of Enichi's birth, he still couldn't use Enichi's breathing method, the breath of the sun.

In desperation, he had no choice but to create a deteriorated version of the breathing method based on the breath of the sun, the breath of the moon.

……

At that time, the two brothers often talked about the issue of heirs, and unlike Iwakatsu's belief that their generation was too powerful to inherit, Enichi was always hopeful for the future.

"We're not great people, we're just a speck of dust in a long history."

"There will always be those who surpass them in the Hereafter."

"Those who are poor will return to the same ......"

When the "genius" freely talks about his ordinariness, Iwatsu, who has never surpassed his younger brother, only feels ironic and disgusting.

He wanted to surpass Yuanyi too much, and he couldn't agree with and understand his brother's words.

……

It was by a certain coincidence that Iwatsu, who knew that he would not be able to live past the 25-year-old if he turned on the "markings", was completely and crazy.

He is approaching the end of his life, and he can't accept that he has not been able to surpass the "mediocre" self of Yuanyi.

"I need more time to get stronger until I catch up and your pace ......"

In his madness, he chose to give up his human body, bowed to the ghost king, and completely fell into a demon.

Because, as long as you become a ghost, you can have an endless lifespan.

"That way, I will have enough time to overtake you!"

Just when Iwatsu was adapting to the body of a ghost, he was walking around the world to eradicate the evil spirits, and in a certain bamboo forest, he met the world's most evil world, the ghost king, and the ghost dance Tsuji was miserable.

The ghost king with a bored face casually sighed that the swordsman who used the breathing method was so boring, and he didn't know that the scorching heat of the "sun".

With just one move, the careless ghost king was knocked to the ground.

The arm was cut off, but it could never be regenerated without believing what was in front of it, and in a fit of rage, it didn't listen to any of the words of the human in front of it, and in the case of life and death, it finally made a choice.

Escape by splitting yourself into a sea of minced flesh that shoots out in all directions.

Desperately trying his best, he chopped more than 1,500 pieces of minced meat in an instant, but after all, he could only watch the remaining pieces of meat fly into the endless darkness.

The ghost king who escaped by luck didn't give Yuan Yi any chance.

In the decades that followed, the Ghost Slayer never heard anything about the appearance of the Ghost King.

Not long after Wu Miao hid, Iwatsu, who had just adapted to the ghost body, heard the news that Onimai Tsuji Wu Miao was defeated by Yuanyi.

But in its heart, there was not the slightest surprise.

Even if it is the ancestor of the ghost beyond the imagination of mortals, in front of the "sun", there is only one way to lose.

……

In the blink of an eye, sixty years have flown by.

If you open the markings, you won't live to be 25 years old?

Black Death, who has become one of the top strings, has always thought so.

It wasn't until in a deserted suburb that he saw again after the years of Jiazi, the younger brother of the old Long Zhong, Yuan Yi.

When they met again, tears flowed from the corners of Yuan's eyes: "How sad...... Elder brother. ”

Because of the joy in his heart when he met again, the black death Mou, that is, Jiguo Yansheng, heard this sentence, and the joy in his heart was instantly extinguished.

Himself, who was once again pitied by his old and ugly brother?

Black Death Mou, who stepped into the ghost path because of jealousy, listened to the hoarse voice of "elder brother", and his heart emerged, which was an indescribable sentimentality.

But it has been a ghost for many years, and it has long been unable to truly experience its inner emotions.

In the next moment, all of Black Death's emotions dissipated.

Because, the old brother who was hanging in front of him held the hilt of the knife at his waist with his right hand.

The power of the vast galaxy rushed out from the old body, and the surrounding air gradually condensed in the face of the momentum that was enough to cut the heavens and the earth with a single sword.

The pressure like a mountain made Black Death Mou not have the slightest idea of resistance.

After decades of hard training and countless bloody battles, Black Death Mou, whose strength has increased greatly, was completely suppressed by Yuanyi's power.

"Why, I have paid so much, and I still can't catch up with you!"

Under the suffocating sense of oppression, the last thing Black Death Mou heard was his brother's old voice that sounded in the wind: "I, here ...... I"

Even after reaching the supreme realm of martial arts, the "Transparent World", and growing six bloody eyes, the moment he swung his sword, Black Death Mou still couldn't see anything.

"Why...... It's always you! ”

The blood that spurted out of its neck did not make Black Death feel a trace of pain, and at this moment, its brain had been completely engulfed by the fire of jealousy like an abyss.

Combining the favor of the gods, even if the body is dying, Yuanyi is still so powerful that people are desperate!

There was a raging anger burning in his heart that was enough to devour the world, but Black Death Mou also knew that Yuan Yi's next knife would definitely cut off its head.

The anxiety of defeat is intertwined with jealousy, which almost drives it crazy.

But after waiting for a long time, the next knife has not come for a long time......

Yuan Yi, who had exhausted all life, just stood behind him and died.

Jealous of his brother's very black death, he couldn't accept everything in front of him, so he slashed out with all his strength and completely cut off Yuanyi's body.

However, what fell from the body that was thrown away was the familiar and unfamiliar piccolo......

"I will cherish the piccolo given by my brother as if I were a brother."

When I was young, my words spanned a long period of time, but they were already different from people.

At this moment, there were tears in the eyes of Black Death Mou......

……

Time passed, and four hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Infinity City.

Throwing away the six bloody eyes on his head, he quietly looked at the red-haired young man standing with a knife below, and the black death at this moment seemed to see the rising sun in the times like his younger brother.

"Again, a taste of failure......"

"I'm really unwilling......"

"Yuanyi, in the end, I still haven't been able to catch up with you......"

"But that piccolo, to this day, I still keep ......"
