Time gradually came to afternoon.
The open space in front of the cabin.
"Mom, what is father doing?" Shigeru pulled the corner of Aoi Eda's clothes and looked doubtfully at Kamado Tanjuro who was sitting in the corridor, lowering his head and thinking.
Kui Zhi pulled Mao away with a smile:
"Father is thinking about a problem. Don't disturb him. Go to the charcoal cellar to help Zhuxiong light the fire."
"Make a fire?"
Mao seemed a little confused. He looked up at his mother and didn't understand why he started lighting the fire when it had just started snowing.
…
corridor.
Tanjuro lowered his head, crossed his hands and frowned.
Facing Muzan, Tanjuro's first reaction was to run.
It's not just him here, there's also his wife and children.
It is impossible to stay, and the result of staying must be to wait for death.
But if the whole family runs away together, there is a possibility of being chased by Wu Kuai following his aura.
Ghosts move much faster than humans.
Tanjuro didn't dare to gamble with his family's lives.
so.
He raised his head and looked at Shigeru and Rokuta who were playing in the open space in front of his house, as well as Hanako and Yadouko who were smiling and clapping their hands.
After more than thirty years of suffering in Sekiro, he didn't want to experience the feeling of losing his family again.
Kamado Tanjuro decided to stay behind.
Even though, it's very possible to die.
However, it is better for him to die than for the whole family to be slaughtered.
Moreover, he had already died enough during his time as a ninja "Wolf".
In the world of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", there are cannibals led by the "King of Ghosts" Muzan Muzan.
They are scattered all over Neon, and there are so many of them.
Ghosts and cannibals, their speed and strength are far superior to ordinary people, and they can regenerate their limbs or heads even if they are severed.
When ordinary people encounter it, there is only one way to die.
Unless the head is cut off with a specific weapon or illuminated by sunlight, it is impossible to completely kill the ghost.
Among them, the Twelve Ghost Moons are the most powerful.
If the strength of the Ghost Moons were placed in the ancient neon mythology, they would also be great monsters that could dominate an area.
And the strength of the "King of Ghosts" Kibutsuji Muzan is higher than that of all Kiyuki.
——After all, Twelve Ghost Moon is just a subordinate he created.
Kamado Tanjuro dared to say so.
With my current self, I couldn't survive a few breaths in Wu Mei's hands.
It is even more impossible to defeat Wuhan head-on.
My current body is too weak. I may be able to perform a few decent slashes, but I will collapse immediately.
But even if the body is full of energy, the chance of running away from Wuhan is very small.
Let alone win.
but.
The Ghost King Wumei has a "weakness".
——He is extremely timid...
——Oh no, be cautious.
This "caution" originated from the Warring States Period.
Because--
During the Warring States Period, a human genius was born.
This genius is called Jiguo Enichi.
He is born with the ability to observe the workings of everything in the world - to see through the world.
Born with extremely powerful physical qualities, and its representative - markings.
Born with a strong swordsmanship talent, he instantly defeated the samurai who had been galloping on the battlefield for many years when he held a sword for the first time at a young age.
The natural special breathing rhythm is a breathing method that can compress a large amount of oxygen into the lungs at one time and make a leap in physical fitness - Sun Breathing.
And - He Dao, a special skill that can make the sword red and hot just by holding it, and has a targeted and miraculous effect on killing ghosts.
Tanjuro thought of this and suddenly felt a little silent in his heart.
Although he knew it, after thinking about it carefully, he was still shocked by Ji Guoyuan's terrifying talent.
In his previous life, there was a word that could lovingly describe Jiguo Yuanyi.
——Hang b.
Every characteristic in him seemed to be born to deal with the existence of ghosts.
So much so that when he met the Ghost King for the first time, he was able to inflict heavy physical and psychological damage on the young and arrogant Ghost King.
Even though the ghost king found that he underestimated the enemy, he tried to break into more than 1800 pieces of meat and escape.
In an instant, Jiguoyuanyi, who had inhuman reaction speed, used his knife to chop into more than 1,500 pieces of it.
Although the Ghost King successfully escaped from Yuanyi's clutches in the end, he never dared to show his face again.
In the more than sixty years since Guoyuanyi was alive, Wu Ke has never appeared in human sight again.
It wasn't until Yuan Yi died of old age that Wu Mei finally dared to show his face.
It can be seen from this that Wu Mei is indeed very "cautious".
This "caution" is worth taking advantage of.
Tanjuro lowered his head and thought about the cards he currently had.
In his youth, he practiced Kagura dance every day and finally reached the "supreme realm"
——Transparent world.
This is one of them.
In the world of "Sekiro", you are born with a special mark.
- Patterns.
It's a dark red ferocious mark on the left forehead.
The appearance of stripes represents a qualitative improvement in physical fitness.
Tanjuro can clearly notice that as long as he wants, it seems that the markings on his left forehead can appear at any time.
This will speed up your heartbeat to over 200 and your body temperature to 39 degrees, in exchange for greatly improving your combat ability.
Under normal circumstances, the left side of Tanjuro's forehead is just an ordinary burn scar.
Stripes, this is the second one.
The third one is Tanjuro's biggest trump card at the moment.
The Kamado family has passed down from generation to generation the Kagura dance dedicated to Lord Kagami - Fire God Kagura.
Kamado Tanjuro now knows better than anyone what this so-called dance is.
——The breath of the sun.
——And the matching thirteen-style sword type.
Because the breath of the sun was too overbearing, no one among the human swordsmen at that time could inherit the mantle of Enichi Tsukuni.
But there are many people who have recorded and witnessed it, but these records were found and destroyed one by one by Wuhan after Yuanyi's death.
Except for one person - the ancestor of the Zaomen family, Zaomen Tanji.
Tanji and Jiguo Enichi are good friends.
Yuanyi also gave Tanji his two sun earrings.
After Tanji saw Yuan Yi dance with the Thirteen Moves of the Breath of the Sun, he had it engraved in his mind.
The dance was composed into a Kagura dance, renamed Fire God Kagura, and passed down from generation to generation along with the earrings.
Now, Kamado Tanjuro has been dancing "Fire God Kagura" for nearly thirty years.
The breathing rhythm and movement essentials are all familiar to me.
Jiguo Yuanyi's earrings were also hanging on his ears.
"Snapped!"
Kamado Tanjuro clapped his hands, straightened up, and slowly stood up.
After some calm thinking, he felt much more confident than before.
When facing Wuhan, you don't necessarily have to defeat him head-on.
Creak... creak...
He took two steps forward and walked into the snow.
Slowly close your eyes.
"Breathe-" Kamado Tanjuro took a deep breath, and his muscle memory gradually made his breathing rhythm match that of the God of Fire, Kagura.
As a large amount of oxygen was compressed into his lungs, Kamado Tanjuro's body temperature gradually rose and his heartbeat began to accelerate.
"Bah——!"
With a sound like water being evaporated by high temperature, Kamado Tanjuro opened his mouth slightly, and a stream of hot white air flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
It turns into white steam in the cold snow and slowly drifts away with the wind.
At this moment, it was on the left side of his forehead.
Dark red and ferocious markings appeared on the surface of the skin, covering the shallow burn marks.
The two earrings with sun patterns fluttered slightly in the cold wind.
Her long dark red hair was tied into a high ponytail and hung down behind her head.
Kamado Tanjuro opened his eyes, his crimson pupils looking calmly into the distance.
What Ji Guoyuan had, he also had.
There is no need to have substantial strength, what Tanjuro wants now is just appearance.
Patterns, earrings, eye color, hair…
At this moment, except for his clothes and complexion, everything else about him seemed to be almost the same as Yuanyi in the impression.
One more thing left... He Dao.
Thinking this, he turned around and walked back to the room.
He reached out and touched his bed.
Click!
He took out a dark knife from the quilt.
Kamado Tanjuro looked down at the katana.
Click!
With a slight exertion on his wrist, he unsheathed the knife, revealing the black blade.
The smooth blade reflected Kamado Tanjuro's expressionless face.
——This is wedge pill.
——The sword of the ninja "Wolf".
Perhaps because when he woke up, he held the wedge ball tightly in his hand, this knife also came with him.
Just in time, he thought.
Turning around, he looked outside the house in the direction of the charcoal cellar.
He stuck his head out and asked:
"Takeo, is the fire ready?"
