At this moment, Tanjiro looked at the sky, where only two lingering shadows of Yudai and Giyu Tomioka remained, and his expression was one of utter astonishment.
He had never really thought that humans could be so powerful.
Looking at his sister Nezuko, who was constantly baring her teeth beside him, Tanjiro recalled what Giyu Tomioka had said earlier: did he really have the power to protect Nezuko?
As for Giyu Tomioka, who was currently battling Yudai, he was becoming increasingly alarmed. He realized that even with his fastest technique, the Third Form, he could barely keep up with Yudai's speed.
Moreover, Yudai's swordsmanship was unexpectedly strong, and despite being on the defensive, his calm demeanor put immense pressure on Giyu Tomioka.
"Are all members of the Demon Slayer Corps this strong, or are you a special case?
But that's fine. With your strength, you shouldn't die so easily, and I don't have to hold back for fear of killing you."
Hearing Yudai's words, Giyu Tomioka immediately became fully alert, preparing to guard against Yudai's next move.
Whether Yudai was bluffing or truly had the strength, Giyu Tomioka knew that if he didn't put in more effort, he wouldn't be able to win.
As for Yudai, he wasn't bluffing. Because of his earlier concern about killing someone, he hadn't used his demon power-enhanced sword techniques.
If he used demon power, the power of his sword techniques would undoubtedly increase by more than one level!
"Do you know, while fierce winds can penetrate everywhere, the most aggressive force is the wildfire that spreads like a conflagration!
Witness the roar of the divine flame, the ferocity of the ravenous wolf, the Invasion of Fire · Raging Wolf!"
Yudai, who had been moving quickly, suddenly stopped and changed his sword stance to a two-handed grip.
At this moment, Giyu Tomioka敏锐地感觉到,空气中的温度竟然在瞬间变得燥热起来,而Yudai手中的长刀上,竟然也缓缓地窜出了汹涌的烈焰!
由于温度突然暴涨,地面上的积雪开始迅速融化,化成了一滩滩的积水。
而在这种冰天雪地的环境中,这些积水甚至没能维持多久,就被周围的高温瞬间蒸发。
在Yudai双手握刀下劈的瞬间,一道巨大的火焰斩击迎风便涨,犹如一群侵略性十足的群狼一般,带着恐怖的温度和刀势,席卷向四周!
与之前的“其疾如风”不同,这次Yudai使用的“侵略如火”注入了 demon power,再加上“侵略如火”的攻击性比“其疾如风”强得多,所以这个招式的威力,与之前根本不是一个档次的!
看到化为群狼的侵略之炎,Giyu Tomioka也直接傻眼了,因为他不明白为什么前一刻还在使用类似“风之呼吸法”的Yudai,居然在下一刻使用出了强度堪比炎柱的“炎之呼吸法”!
一个人可以掌握两种呼吸法吗?至少他Giyu Tomioka是没有听说过的。
但是面前这个男人,现在却在他面前,展现了完全两种不同剑势的招式。
犹如疾风一般迅猛的剑,还有这犹如野火燎原,侵略性十足的剑。
然而现在的情况,也不容许Giyu Tomioka细想Yudai所用的招式是不是呼吸法,因为他如果不挡住面前这侵略性十足的火焰,他会死的!
“水之呼吸·拾壹之型凪!”
作为五大本源呼吸法之一的水之呼吸法,是由最初的呼吸法“日之呼吸法”衍生出来的五大呼吸法之一,自然不可能是由Giyu Tomioka所创造的。
但是作为“水柱”,Giyu Tomioka本身的才华也是相当惊人。
在原有的“水之呼吸法”的基础上,他也创造出了独属于他自己的招式。
而这招水之呼吸·拾壹之型凪,就是Giyu Tomioka自创的新招式。
自身进入宁静止水的状态,同时使进入自身刀刃攻击距离内的所有术式均无效化。
这个招式有点类似于所谓的“领域”,而处于这个领域之中的Giyu Tomioka,只要能保持心如止水,那么进入自身领域的攻击,就会被自己刀刃所化的水流所阻挡。
当然了,这个能力也是有承受极限的,如果真的什么都能阻挡的话,那岂不是相当于“无敌”技能了。
不过,自从他Giyu Tomioka自创出这个技能以来,却从未失手过,所以这次他也同样信心十足。
心如止水的平静水流,还有汹涌且侵略性十足的烈焰。
心如止水与侵略如火,水流对火焰,两种最为极端的元素在空中碰撞,汹涌的烈焰试图烧入对方的领域,而环绕在Giyu Tomioka周围的水流则犹如捍卫领土的卫兵一般,誓死抵抗入侵的猛火。
水与火,两大极端的元素此时僵持在半空,而不管是Yudai还是Giyu Tomioka,此时也都在互相较劲,看哪一方先撑不下去。
Yudai的 demon power 还有所保留,即便不敌对方,他最后还有压箱底的“半鬼化”。
而Giyu Tomioka也是如此,这种等级的恶鬼,以前他根本没见过,此时他正在考虑,要不要孤注一掷激活自己的“斑纹”,彻底将对方干掉!
而就在双方都在暗暗打算,要不要使用自己的底牌来获得胜利之时。
伴随着一声清脆的“咔嚓”声,Yudai手中本已相当破烂的长刀,在更多 demon power 的注入下,终于不堪重负地碎裂了!
侵略性十足的火焰在刀断掉的瞬间,犹如发出一声不甘的怒吼般,最终消失在空气中。
而原本互相僵持的双方,因为其中一方突然退场,另一方的力量失去了制衡的目标,突然就发生了失控现象。
而且因为火焰爆炸的威力,Yudai手中碎裂的长刀,也犹如化成了一把散弹枪一般,碎裂的刀片瞬间迸溅向四周。
以Yudai和Giyu Tomioka的实力,对于散裂的刀片自然毫不在乎,但是不要忘了,在场还有其他人,面对这样的战斗余波,根本毫无招架之力。
原本在一旁观看战斗的Tanjiro,看着爆射而来的大量刀片,直接就傻眼了,不过几乎是出于本能,在面对危险时,Tanjiro还是抱住了已经恶鬼化的妹妹Nezuko,将其紧紧护在自己怀中,企图以自己的背部为妹妹抵挡伤害!
