Chapter 53 Another Encounter
Facing this, Tomioka Giyu remained calm and composed, waves surged around him, and then raindrops fell.
"Water Breathing, Eleventh Form: Dead Calm"
Boom—
The house Tomioka Giyu was in was instantly reduced to ruins by the aftershocks of Daki and Gyutaro's Moves!
But immediately after, the ruins exploded, and several huge Water Pillars shot up into the sky!
In the next second, all of them rushed towards Daki and Gyutaro.
"Water Breathing Style, Twelfth Form: Stilling Waves!!"
—
A few minutes earlier, on the other side, Uzui Tengen broke through the ground, making a grand entrance.
Inosuke looked left and right, shouting angrily,
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! You god of festivities!!"
"The worm belts are all scattered and burrowing out!!"
Hearing this, Uzui Tengen glared and roared, "Shut up!! Just save everyone who's been captured!"
"Praise me first, we'll talk about the rest later!!"
Inosuke was startled by this sudden scene and immediately stood at attention.
"Lord Tengen, if we don't hurry, more people will suffer!" Makio quickly advised.
"Alright, you bastards! We're chasing, follow me..."
Bang—bang bang bang—
But before Uzui Tengen could finish speaking, several loud bangs in a row startled everyone present!
Uzui Tengen's eyes darkened slightly; he knew that the battle must have started on Tomioka Giyu's side.
"Quick, follow me!!"
At the same time, Tomioka Giyu walked out of the ruins, rubbed his neck a few times with one hand, and then quickly rushed towards another ruin.
Because just now, the house Daki and Gyutaro were in was also smashed to pieces by Tomioka Giyu's single strike.
As the dust cleared, Gyutaro's twin sickles flew out first.
"Still using these boring tricks!"
Tomioka Giyu advanced instead of retreating, leaning forward and erupting fiercely.
"Water Breathing, Second Form: Water Wheel!"
Tomioka Giyu leapt up, using the Second Form to directly slide past the twin Splatter Sickles, heading straight for Gyutaro!
As for why Daki wasn't there, it was simple; she had been battered beyond recognition by the Twelfth Form just now.
Although her recovery speed was fast, it still took time.
After landing, Tomioka Giyu accelerated again, splashing water with every step.
"Ninth Form: Splashing Flow, Turbulent Current!!"
Gazing at the rapidly approaching Tomioka Giyu, Gyutaro suddenly jumped backward, and a spiral-shaped, blood-colored whirlwind of slashes instantly erupted.
"Blood Demon Art: Rotating Circular Slashes, Splatter Sickle!"
Seeing this, Tomioka Giyu let out a "tsk," thinking, this guy's innate combat intuition is truly outrageous!
If Gyutaro had only unleashed Rotating Circular Slashes just now, without taking that step back,
then he would definitely have been able to forcefully sever Gyutaro's neck, at most being affected by the Rotating Circular Slashes.
Although the belt had already wrapped around him, he was 100% confident that he could endure the belt and cut off Gyutaro's head!
Not only because of his new blade, but also because he had become even stronger than he was then!
Afterimages overlapped, and Tomioka Giyu directly stood in the Rotating Circular Slashes as if bathing, feigning a swing of his blade towards Gyutaro.
Gyutaro, who had seen this Move before, immediately retreated, jumping onto an intact house.
"Blood Demon Art: Eight-Fold Cross Dance!"
Facing the large net made of belts coming from behind him, Tomioka Giyu paid no mind.
He leapt high, heading straight for Gyutaro!
Tomioka Giyu was not afraid of this feigned attack being seen through; on the contrary, he hoped it would be.
The most terrifying attacks are those that mix truth and falsehood!
When you think an attack is truly aiming for your neck, you can only treat it as real.
Because once you deem it fake and don't dodge, it will absolutely become a real slash!
Gyutaro was exactly like this now; while dodging and weaving, he frantically controlled the Splatter Sickle and his sister's belts, attacking Tomioka Giyu simultaneously!
Finally, he didn't want to hide anymore; as upper rank six, being chased and beaten by a human...
Not to mention if Lord Muzan found out, even he himself couldn't stand it. What right did he have to remain in the position of upper rank six?!
Gyutaro decided to entrust everything to his naturally excellent combat intuition.
Seeing her brother stop moving, Daki immediately grew anxious and quickly shouted,
"Onii-chan!! What are you doing?!"
Tomioka Giyu's eyes also showed a strange expression, but he did not stop, sweeping his blade horizontally towards Gyutaro's neck.
However, this slash of his was a feigned probe, stopping directly beside Gyutaro's neck!
Gyutaro stared intently at Tomioka Giyu, a smirk spreading across his lips as he provoked,
"You brat, if you've got the guts, cut it off!"
Tomioka Giyu's figure flickered; it wasn't that he didn't want to cut just now, but the sickle was aimed at his heart.
If he had made that cut, Gyutaro's head would have fallen, but with his sister, he would not disappear.
However, Tomioka Giyu would definitely have died.
"As you wish!"
Tomioka Giyu's eyes sharpened, his body leaned forward, the hand holding the blade pulled back sharply, and then he thrust it without reservation towards Gyutaro!
Seeing such an Aura, Gyutaro couldn't distinguish between real and fake, but he had less than a fraction of a second to think.
Gyutaro still couldn't help but attack; the pressure Tomioka Giyu gave him was simply too great.
Daki was only two houses away from him, and he had already experienced Tomioka Giyu's strength last time.
This time, he could clearly feel that this human in front of him had grown stronger again.
He was afraid that after his head was cut off, before he could recover, Tomioka Giyu would instantly cut off his sister's head as well.
But when Gyutaro used one sickle to block Tomioka Giyu's thrust and the other hooked upwards from below towards Tomioka Giyu's chin,
Tomioka Giyu smiled, abruptly stopped his thrust, and simultaneously turned to dodge the sickle attack.
The afterimage vanished, and Tomioka Giyu swept his blade horizontally without a gap, heading straight for Gyutaro's neck!
In a moment of crisis, Gyutaro did not dodge; instead, he met the attack.
Allowing the nichirin blade to strike his collarbone first!
Tomioka Giyu's heart skipped a beat; he immediately understood that Gyutaro was trying to use his body to slow down the speed of this strike!
He immediately raised the blade, intending to directly slice open Gyutaro's head with it.
But it was already too late; Gyutaro was the one who made the Move, unless he had predicted Gyutaro's actions.
Otherwise, in such a situation, he would always be one step slower than Gyutaro!
With a "puchi" sound, Gyutaro embedded his arm into the blade, forcefully trapping the blade with his body and arm.
"You brat, die!!"
Tomioka Giyu's heart sank; he saw no less than ten pink belts in his peripheral vision, not to mention his back.
There were only two choices now, but in reality, only one.
Being hit by those belts, or abandoning this blade and jumping off the roof.
But just as Tomioka Giyu was about to let go and jump off the roof,
A scorching flame struck, dazzling like the sun.
"Dance of the Fire God: Clear Blue Sky!!"
