Chapter 72 Waste

The water dragon devoured Kokushibo's head, and the blade cut on his neck for the first time, but to Giyuu it felt like he was cutting on steel!

Lying on the ground, unable to help, Busui could only anxiously look at Giyu's arms with bulging veins, and Kokushibo's neck with a trickle of blood, and roared angrily.

"Damn it!! This guy's body is too strong!"

No, I must lend a hand!

With this thought in mind, Busei stood up despite the crisp sound of bones breaking everywhere in his body and withstanding the pressure.

“Hahahaha!!!”

The swing of the sword created a gust of wind and slashed fiercely on the back of Yiyong's sword!

clang!

Sparks flew everywhere, and with the help of the power of the Busei River, the blue blade only penetrated three-quarters of the neck. But no matter how hard the two tried, the blade just couldn't cut through.

At this time, Kokushibo raised his hand, grabbed the Nichirin Sword that was cutting into his neck, and pulled it out little by little.

Looking at the two men, whose faces were full of bruises, he still looked calm.

"Look... If I were a normal person, I would have been beheaded by you... So I became a ghost..."

As the blade was pulled out bit by bit, Busei's face became more and more ferocious, and the skin on his arms was cracked from exerting too much force.

"Damn it..."

"do not give up!"

clang!

A high-pitched voice was accompanied by the sound of metal clashing. It was Uzui returning to the battlefield!

The two big swords slashed on the pulled out Nichirin Sword, and then exploded with a loud bang. The impact force brought by the explosion pushed the four sharp blades against Kokushibo's force and pushed the Nichirin Sword into Kokushibo's neck again!

puff!

The sound of flesh being cut was heard, and the three men showed joy on their faces.

efficient!

Upon seeing this, Uzui twisted the handle of the knife, and a large amount of gunpowder was released from the knife. It exploded under the ignition of sparks generated by the three people stacking the knives together and applying force!

Boom! Boom! … Boom!

As sparks from the explosions continued to flash before their eyes, the three men could no longer see clearly what was in front of them. They could only feel the blade moving forward in their necks as the impact of the explosions accumulated!

"Well…"

Even when Kokushibo's neck was about to be chopped off, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Countless sharp blades grew out of his body and stabbed at the three people in front of him in an attempt to force them back.

puff!

The sound of flesh being pierced continued to ring out, but the three men did not relax their strength even though they were bleeding profusely!

"Haha!"

With a loud shout, the three of them exerted their strongest strength on the hilts of the swords!

The Sun Blade that Giyuu held at the bottom was now faintly glowing red, but he had no time to pay attention to it at the moment.

boom!

With the final release of the explosives in the Uzui sword, Giyu's sword finally cut off Kokushibo's neck!

The six-eyed head flew up, and the pair of eyes in the center, the "Upper Rank One", was particularly eye-catching.

The three exhausted people fell to the ground. With blurred vision, they saw the flying head falling next to the headless Kokushibo. Their tense nerves could finally relax.

“Haha…ha…ha”

Uzui collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily. He had been holding back Kokushibo for the longest time and was the most tired at this moment. If it weren't for the joy of killing Upper Rank One that kept him excited, he would have fainted from exhaustion by now.

He looked at Busui and Giyu with joy on his face. Just as he was about to talk to them, he saw the looks of disbelief on their faces. His expression froze and he looked in the direction of their gaze.

Kokushibo, who should have turned into ashes, was now holding his own head and placing it steadily on the broken neck.

The seam was restored in an instant, and looking at the exhausted people, Kokushibo slowly spoke.

"If I hadn't taken the initiative to chop off your head... maybe I would have died... You are very good... but being a human limits your strength... what a pity..."

After hearing the other party's words and recalling his blood demon magic that allowed him to create blades in his body at will to launch attacks, the three of them immediately understood how the other party could be beheaded without dying.

But...what does it matter if I understand it now...the only one among the three who still has the ability to fight is Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu, and because he was closest to Kokushibo, he suffered the most piercing wounds.

At this moment, he could only carefully swallow a pill, recover from some of his injuries, and hold up a knife to block in front of the two people who had no fighting ability.

Lying on the ground, Busui looked at Giyuu's back covered in blood, and turned to ask Uzui.

"Uzui! How many pills do you have left?!"

Uzui touched his arms and helplessly stretched out his empty hand to Busei.

"No more... not a single one left..."

After hearing this, Busei pounded the ground angrily, gritted his teeth and said as he looked at Kokushibo's approaching figure.

"Damn it... I still have two pills... But the injury is too severe, even with two pills, I can't recover completely..."

"Now, I can only help Tomioka and try my best to delay time and wait for reinforcements..."

After saying that, Busui River swallowed two pills, and the wounds all over his body healed almost instantly, but Busui River's injuries were still not to be underestimated.

He staggered to Giyu's side and confronted Kokushibo with a knife.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Yu Zui was extremely anxious but there was really nothing he could do. He kept looking towards the mountain behind and muttered to himself.

"Why don't you come to support me...Are you addicted to playing with your friends...Sekiro..."

--------

In the back mountain, the wolf who was holding up a knife to block Yu Hu's attack as he kept spinning like a drill seemed to sense something and turned his head to look in the direction of the three people fighting.

"Little brat! How dare you look around while fighting with Master Yuhu!"

The bruised and battered Yu Hu let out an angry sound, and then a giant fist covered with blue scales rushed towards the wolf!

clang!

He turned around and swung his knife to block the punch that was aimed at him. The wolf was not hurt at all, but the huge force of the punch still knocked the wolf back.

laugh!

He thrust the knife into the ground, holding the handle with both hands, and while the blade plowed the ground he stopped the wolf.

I turned my head to look at the stairs behind me and smelled the smell of sulfur.

Have you come here yet?

The man and the ghost kept fighting, and unknowingly changed the location of the battle. They fought from the top of the mountain all the way to the middle of the mountain. Yu Hu attacked the wolf countless times but returned in vain.

The wolf also used up all the paper figures in the process of counterattack, but Yu Hu was never hurt because of his fast speed.

Looking at each other, they cursed in their hearts

Damn you kid!

Despicable things...

Just as Yu Hu was about to attack again, a hurried voice was heard on the stairs behind the wolf.

"Hoo... Excuse me! Are you Hirata... Sekiro!?"

Wolf looked back and saw a boy in the Demon Slayer Corps uniform standing on the stairs, with hope in his tired eyes.

"…I am."

Hearing the wolf's affirmative answer, the boy was overjoyed, but then he returned to his anxious look and spoke to the wolf.

"Please go and support Master Wind and Master Sound. They are fighting with the Upper Rank One, and... they seem to be defeated!"

Looking at the other party's sad and anxious appearance, the wolf was stunned.

Is Upper Rank One stronger than Douma? Then will Fuzugawa and Uzui...

Thinking of this, the miserable condition of Toshisaburo emerged in the wolf's mind.

At this moment, the slippery and uncomfortable sound of the jade pot was heard.

“Hmm~ Lord Kokushibo is much stronger than Lord Douma! Those two pillars would have been chopped into pieces long ago! Hahahaha!”

Yu Hu's sarcastic words reached Wolf's ears, waking him from his daze. He slowly shifted his gaze to Yu Hu with a cold look.

Faced with the wolf's cold eyes, Yu Hu not only did not restrain himself, but became even more rampant.

"Oh? What? You don't believe it? But it doesn't matter. When you go to hell, you will be able to reunite with them and the one in the room just now!"

“…I was…”

"Ok?"

As soon as Zhang Kuang's words fell, Yu Hu heard the wolf murmur, saw the wolf put his hand into his arms, and saw the murderous intent in the wolf's eyes that was about to condense into a substance.

I felt a sudden chill in my heart for no reason and shouted bravely.

"What are you talking about, little brat!?"

The wolf ignored him and continued to mutter to himself.

“…I don’t want to waste this on you…”
