It turns out that it is not only a fire that can turn the sky red at night, but also the aftermath of a person's sword practice!

In the open space in front of the charcoal kiln of the Zaomen family, four or five meters long red flame waves swept the darkness around it, and after extinguishing it, it pulled out a long dragon-like red mist cloud in the air, hiding the sword-wielding man himself.

Except for the trajectory of the flame eruption, even Butterfly Shinobu couldn't find any specific location of Genichiro at the moment!

It was only occasionally when she entered a brief state of transparency that she was able to slow down Koichiro's movements for a moment.

But even that kind of speed is definitely not something that a swordsman below the pillar can handle.

And......

Butterfly Shinobu thought to himself a little distracted.

The breath of this day is so violent, I am afraid that the entire ghost killing team, only Purgatory Maki Juro and Iwazhu can try to cultivate.

For the others, their bodies are not strong enough, and if they use Hiyo at the frequency of Genichiro, sooner or later they will end up with the previous Tanjuro.

It is conceivable that even Butterfly Shinobu can't see the movements of Ichiro Can't see clearly, and the Kamado family, except for Tanjuro, can only treat everything in front of them as a fireworks show.

And because of the tremendous momentum of the Breath of the Sun Sword Type, the surging sound waves are endless, and they can't concentrate on other things they want to do, so they can only wait for each other to end.

But who knows, this look, a few hours of time will pass.

They saw with their own eyes that the "fireworks" were blooming faster and faster, and the range of the fireworks wave had expanded from one or two meters at the beginning to the current level.

But the most noticeable change is the temperature in the field.

Compared to a few hours ago, when Koichiro had just started, the Kamado family had retreated more than a dozen meters to avoid the increasingly hot air.

All this shows that Ichiro's Rihu sword type is constantly being refined and strengthened.

"Is this the swordsmanship of Brother Genichiro?"

Takeo Kamado covered his swollen face from being pinched by someone, and his red eyes were full of adoration when they were reflected in the flames.

"It's amazing! That's amazing! ”

Then he suddenly changed his voice, "But why is he so powerful but not a pillar?" Instead, I put up with my sister, you look ......"

Tanjiro covered his brother's mouth and smiled embarrassedly at Butterfly, which probably means "children don't have long memories, so please don't be like him".

But where would Butterfly Shinobu care about a child's intentional or unintentional verbal retaliation at this time.

The power of the attack displayed by Genichiro at this time finally gave her a glimmer of confidence in defeating Onimai Tsuji.

"Mr. Tanjuro."

With a look of hope, Shinobu turned to Tanjuro, whose gaze was moving rapidly. This also proves that he is the only person in the room who can see the position of Ichiro Kyo.

"How is Koichiro's breath of the sun compared to the demonstration of the predecessor of the Yuan Ichi in your memory?"

"Hmm...... How can this be said? ”

Tanjuro pondered for a while, "I don't know anything about swordsmanship, so I may not be able to say anything useful to ......"

"Please speak up.

Butterfly Shinobi's expression was sincere and serious, she had to know how far Ichiro was from the original swordsman who had hit Onimai Tsuji hard, "You are the only one here who is qualified to make an evaluation." ”

"You're so polite. If you don't mind, then I'll say it. ”

Tanjuro paused, "Genichiro's movements are very fast, and he can complete all the movements in four seconds, constituting an extremely fast reincarnation.

"But considering that Mr. Doenichi was demonstrating the movements for the ancestors, I don't know how fast he himself moved......

"Judging from the temperature of the knife and the slash, it should be Mr. Yuanichi who is superior. I've noticed that Mr. Yuanyi's knife, like red-hot coal, has an extremely high temperature when it comes out of the sheath......"

"It's Hedao......"

Butterfly Shinobu reacted immediately.

Tanjuro continued, "But if you look at the coverage of the flames, Genichiro's slash is more spectacular and ferocious than that of Mr. Enichi. Correspondingly, his movements lost Mr. Yuanyi's unique rhythm of becoming one with nature, sacrificing the original delicacy and subtlety of swordsmanship. ”

"If Mr. Yuanyi is dancing religiously...... That Ichiro is more like venting his power. ”

Butterfly was stunned: "Vent? ”

"Yes." Tanjuro nodded, "With such a fast speed and continuous completion of those movements, his body is already exhausted. But I don't know why, he's still pushing himself, using the characteristics of the breath of the sun to overdraw his physical strength. ”

"Could it be that Butterfly Shinobu wondered a little, "is Genichiro just in a bad mood?" ”

"No, Miss Shinobu."

It was Tanjiro who spoke, "It's not that simple. Since last night, Genichiro has been very desperate to pursue something.

I could smell that his heart was filled not with anger, but with pervasive anxiety and heaviness, as if something was chasing him.

"So he forced himself, probably to achieve a purpose that would reassure him......"

"The purpose of peace of mind, to force yourself."

Butterfly Ren thought for a while, and then his face changed greatly, "He, could it be that he is forcibly raising his body temperature and turning on the markings?" ”

"Brindle?" Tanjiro asked suspiciously.

"Mr. Tanjuro, you should have seen the markings on Mr. Enichi's forehead, which is a crimson birthmark in the shape of a flame."

Butterfly Shinobu stared at the field a little nervously, "Any swordsman who can open the markings will further improve his physical fitness. ”

Tanjuro suddenly understood, and then unconsciously touched the red birthmark on his head.

"Then why do you look so worried, Miss Shinobi?" Tanjiro scratched his head, "Isn't it a good thing that my body has become stronger?" ”

"No, it's dangerous to open the markings."

Butterfly Shinobu explained solemnly, "The swordsman must raise his body temperature to more than thirty-nine degrees and his heart rate must exceed two hundred, and he must be able to maintain this state. Only swordsmen who can survive in this state can open the markings. ”

The rest of the children didn't understand the concept of thirty-nine degrees, but Tanjiro, who accompanied his father down the mountain to see a doctor, did.

"But, didn't the doctor say that if the body temperature of 39 degrees is not treated, people will die soon."

As he spoke, Tanjiro looked at his father, "The time my father had the worst fever was only about 38 degrees Celsius, but the doctor was worried about that." ”

"That's the price you have to pay to kill Onimai Tsuji."

The firmness in Butterfly's tone made Tanjiro speechless, "Opening the markings is in exchange for overdrawing your life, and once you succeed, you won't be able to live past the age of twenty-five." ”

But what she couldn't figure out was why Ichiro had to do this.

If it's the pillars of the Demon Slayer who are desperately trying to open the markings, that's understandable.

But those who are familiar with the Oni Slayer Team know one thing - Ashina, who was born not long ago, has no fundamental hatred with Onimai Tsuji.

Even though Ichiro was almost killed by one of the strings, he never said that he wanted to take revenge on the other party.

From the very beginning, Genichiro targeted the oni creature, just to allow Ashina, who had been in the world for many years, to gain a foothold in Japan and gain an irreplaceable economic and political position.

Although the Butterfly Shinobi and the pillars of the Demon Slayer Team admired and appreciated Ichiro, and even Immortal Kawa became close friends with him, everyone knew one thing-

Ichiro and Kuro are different.

He lacks the most basic compassion for the humans beyond the reeds and a few pillars, and he is more ruthless and practical.

If it weren't for the fact that killing Onimai Tsuji would bring benefits to Ashina, Genichiro would never have been an enemy of the oni.

It stands to reason that such a person, even if he aims to kill Onimai Tsuji, must survive and enjoy the results.

At least as far as Butterfly Shinobu knows, Ichiro asked Kuro to worship the patriarch as a teacher, and contacted the wealthy businessmen and nobles in Tokyo, and even let Anayama get a seat in the parliament to win the backbone of society, all of which show that he has a very long-term plan for Ashina. And killing Onimai Tsuji is not miserable, just to let these plans be carried out smoothly.

But now, Genichiro is ahead of the ghost killing team and begins to think about the first means of overdrawing his life-

What is going on to make a well-known careerist die willingly?

Butterflies can't bear to be confused.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Genichiro to open the markings, not only out of responsibility for the Demon Slayer Team, but also out of gratitude to him, so she didn't want such a person to die young.

"Mr. Tanjuro, can you estimate the current body temperature of Genichiro by the degree of expansion of his muscles and internal organs?"

After listening to Butterfly Shinobu explain in detail the vital signs of people at different body temperatures, Tanjuro nodded, "I'll try." ”

As he spoke, his gaze became deep and distant, blocking out all other senses, so that the time in his vision could be slowed down to the point where he could see the inside of Genichiro's body, which showed that Ichiro's speed was so fast that even he couldn't accurately grasp it.

"This ......"

A minute later, Tanjuro returned to normal, but hesitated to speak.

"How?" Butterfly Shinobu asked.

"I'm afraid, Genichiro's body temperature is already forty degrees, and his heartbeat rate has already exceeded 220."

"What!" Shinobu Butterfly and Tanjiro shouted in unison.

"How is this possible?" Butterfly Shinobu then asked, "Then does that crimson markings appear on his body?" ”

Tanjiro shook his head.

"He has a sun-shaped birthmark on his chest, but it's not a deep red like Mr. Enichi. It shouldn't be the so-called markings. ”

"Is that not there?"

Butterfly shook her head in disbelief.

She believes that Tanjuro's observation will never be wrong, so the question is-

First, since Genichiro has reached the standard of the pillar called "Shitou Muichiro" in his dream, why didn't he open the markings?

Second, a body temperature of 40 degrees is enough to burn people's brains, so why can Ichiro continue to move?

That's right!

Now is not the time to think about it.

He must be stopped in a hurry! Just bring his body temperature down! Otherwise, not only will the markings not open, but the people will be gone, and when the time comes, what will she see when she sees Jiulang and Sister Immortal Chuan!

"Ichiro String!"

The butterfly shinobu roared loudly in that direction with the bruises on her neck.

"Stop! Don't go any further! You're going to die! ”

"Ichiro! Stop! Stop it! ”

However, no matter how hoarse she was, she couldn't make Ichiro stop for half a minute, and the butterfly was about to cry.

When the children saw her like this, they also shouted along! But as the explosion of air produced by Genichiro's swing of the sword became louder and louder, their voices were also suppressed.

Seeing this, Butterfly Shinobu gritted her teeth, intending to rush over and wake up Genichiro with a Nichiren knife.

But Tanjuro had already noticed that she would do this, and hurriedly took a step to block in front of Butterfly Shinobi, and Tanjiro also reacted immediately and directly grabbed Butterfly Shinobi's arm.

"All his attention was on how to push himself further, and he couldn't feel anything outside." Tanjuro shook his head at Butterfly Shinobi, "You're going to die in the past!" ”

"But ......"

Butterfly Shinobu looked sad, and didn't understand how this kind of thing could suddenly happen when she was so good before. If she doesn't stop her, Koichiro will die too!

Although Genichiro has a lot of strange medicines, if he has gone mad and can't think of using them, what is the use of more medicines.

"Don't worry too much, at least he's still conscious."

Tanjuro said what he thought, "Genichiro's body is too strong, maybe the standard you gave before was not enough for him to make a marking." In this case, the current high temperature should be bearable for him. ”

Butterfly Shinobu raised her head, forcing herself to calm down, and then agreed with Tanjuro's idea.

Truly...... It's not impossible......

The three people who opened the markings in her memory - their physical fitness was not high in the column.

Tanjiro won't talk about it, at that time it was able to reach the level of the pillar.

Although the girl named Honey Glass of Ganlu Temple had exaggerated muscle density, her strength and speed were not outstanding.

As for Shitou Muichiro, he has just entered puberty, and he has not yet had time to develop, and his physical fitness in the column ranks last.

And the words of Genichiro ......

Mr. Grief Mingyu Xingming once said that Ichiro's body is even more exaggerated than ordinary ghosts, and the normal body temperature of ghosts is 39 degrees!

Look at it this way...... It seems that 40 degrees can still maintain sobriety, and it is not impossible to say.

After all, Genichiro is still moving at high speed without any momentum, isn't he?

"You don't want anything to happen...... "Butterfly Shinobu clasped his palms together, staring at the increasingly exaggerated flames and prayed silently, "Genichiro." ”

Tanjuro's guess is fine.

I've been wielding a knife every once in a while, and I'll estimate my body temperature.

39 degrees, that was an hour ago. With the double blessing of his own physique and the breath of the sun, he didn't feel any burden from that body temperature.

To be honest, the body temperature will also rise sharply after knocking the red pearl, and it is far more exaggerated than 39 degrees.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Ichiro sacrificed the accuracy of his sword skills, and forced himself to advance by leaps and bounds in speed and power, frantically consuming his physical strength, increasing the burden on himself, and achieving the effect of overload.

But when his body temperature reached 40 degrees, he still didn't feel that he had any essential changes!

However, after these few hours of persistence, Genichiro was not completely fruitless.

With all his strength urging the breath of the sun, he felt that the arm holding the knife seemed to have reached a sense of "penetration" with the iron flowing cloud in his hand.

He even had the illusion that the knife, which was even burning with its handle, had become a part of his flesh and blood, and could no longer distinguish them from each other.

There seems to be an inexplicable echo between the power of the breath of the sun in the cells and the sunlight in the iron of the sun wheel, as if they come from a source at all.

At this moment, Genichiro finally understood what his grandfather had said when he taught him to cut one word.

"Believing in the knife in your hand is like trusting your own body."

As he was moving at high speed, an idea suddenly popped into his head.

What happens if you use your own subtle control to "transport" blood to the Nichiren knife, or in other words, to incorporate the knife into your breathing cycle?

Just do it!

The whole body is hot - Ichiro, who has a particularly hot brain, can't take care of it so much!

"Yang Hua Tu!"

The onlookers suddenly stood in place, stabbing the iron clouds into the sky with both hands on their swords, and the rings of shattered fire spread like ripples around the blade.

The scorching air even ignited a pine tree more than a dozen meters away.

Just when they thought that Ichiro had finally stopped, they all breathed a sigh of relief......

However, Genichiro mobilized the breathing method and poured all the energy generated by this big breath towards the Nichicha knife, not caring at all about whether it would cause blockage and damage to the meridians of his hands.

This time, he firmly believed that the knife in his hand would be completely connected to his body without barriers.

The hot body and the hot blade are completely integrated at this moment!

So, under the surprised gaze of the butterfly.

A shiny bright red begins to climb from the hilt of Genichiro's sword, and gradually spreads upwards!

The originally dark golden Iron Summoning Thunder has finally turned into a red blade that can distort the air around it!

Genichiro, who was originally going to open the markings, just stumbled into it by mistake and achieved another purpose.
