No—perhaps one could guess, after all, Uzui Tengen also carried two swords on his back.
Judging from their appearance, they are probably both dual-wielders, perhaps due to the mutual respect between dual-wielders.
That's why he did this at this time, but no one around him complained about his actions.
Although they appear to be companions, they are more accurately described as people with the same goal.
The internal unity wasn't as strong as Kanzaki Teru had imagined, though it's possible they didn't perceive Kanzaki Teru as a threat.
"If you don't make a move, then I won't be polite."
I don't know why, but they may think that bullying the weak with numbers is a bad thing.
Therefore, the three opponents hesitated to make a move, and Kanzaki Teru didn't hold back with them.
Although its counterattack capability is extremely strong, it is also very demanding in terms of the situation.
First of all, you must at least be standing on the ground; if you are in mid-air, you will have no way to control the opponent's attack.
Instead, you'll be thrown off your feet, and there are various other restrictions and requirements.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Kanzaki Teru would never have had the chance to use this move. It was just a coincidence that all the conditions were met just now.
However, this ability is only effective when the opponent's attack is strong, especially if the opponent attacks with the intention of killing you.
Kanzaki Teru had no reason to be lenient, even if this was merely a test of himself.
However, it was obvious that the other party wouldn't listen to reason, so Kanzaki Teru was too lazy to explain.
After activating his ability this time, Kanzaki Teru did not teleport behind the group, since their intuition was exceptionally sharp.
Moreover, if he uses the same trick every time, it will be easy for his opponent to see through his trick. Kanzaki Teru keeps activating his ability.
Each time, I moved by slightly shifting my position, although the distance was pitifully small compared to the usual teleportation.
However, its advantage lies in its high release frequency, which completely makes up for its shortcomings.
Moreover, the duel between masters often happens in such a brief moment.
Seeing Kanzaki Teru charging towards them, everyone got into position.
"Breath of Flame - (cdfb)"
"Breathing of the Wind"
"Sound Breathing—" (turn)
Kanzaki Teru was too lazy to observe what kind of attack his opponent had launched, and just before the two sides were about to collide...
Kanzaki Teru suddenly hurled the sword in his hand, sending it hurtling towards the Shinazugawa River at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.
He instantly teleported above the River of Immortality. 7
"A mere trifle!"
Perhaps in the eyes of these swordsmen, throwing a weapon like this is an insult to the sword. 7
However, Kanzaki Teru didn't possess this so-called swordsman's pride.
Any means necessary to win will be used.
Moreover, the school of swordsmanship he studied was actually a legitimate Kenshin-ryu style, so he was quite adept at using swords.
Faced with the flying blades from the group of novel characters, Fujii Shikigawa did not choose to directly confront them head-on.
Instead, he slightly turned his body, intending to deflect the knife. 9
This stance also allows for a simultaneous attack on Kanzaki Hikaru above.
But just before the blade was about to strike him, it suddenly vanished without a trace.
"Mmm!"
The next moment, however, Uzui Tengen let out a painful groan from his throat.
The vanished knife struck his ankle, but he managed to react at the last second.
While it wouldn't require cutting off the entire leg, it would definitely make smooth movement impossible.
"rat!"
"Say what you will, I'll deal with one of them first."
After all, it was really unreasonable to be called despicable when it was three against one, and Kanzaki Teru was too lazy to pay attention to what he said.
He spun rapidly in mid-air and slashed at the Shinazugawa.
"Don't think about it!"
Kyojuro Rengoku, who had been watching from the sidelines, raised his sword above his head, and instantly the blade seemed to burst into flames.
Seeing the other party's posture, Kanzaki Teru did not intend to confront them head-on.
He threw the object he was carrying directly out.
"What!?"
Before he could react, Rengoku Kyojuro hurriedly parried with his sword.
However, in the brief moment he parried, Kanzaki Teru slashed down with his sword.
Chapter 240: Outnumbered Against Overwhelming
In an instant, he broke his stance, supporting himself with one hand and maximizing the rotational kinetic energy of his body.
He kicked him hard in the right arm, and Rengoku Kyojuro was sent flying like a cannonball.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and Shinazugawa didn't even have time to react.
Just as he was about to attack Kanzaki Teru, Kanzaki Teru, whose center of gravity was on the ground, grabbed a handful of sand and pebbles and threw them at Shinazugawa.
"Puff puff--!"
Completely caught off guard by the attack, Shinazugawa lost his sight.
Kanzaki Teru, without the slightest hesitation, slashed at his opponent with the knife in his hand.
"stop!"
And at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
A person with a somewhat weak aura appeared in this area, and Kanzaki Teru also stopped his attack that was about to hit Shinazugawa.
If that person had shouted even a fraction slower, Kanzaki Teru's knife would have landed.
"Lord."
That person wasn't particularly strong, but for some reason...
These people, known as Pillars, all knelt on one knee and bowed to him with the utmost respect. Even Shinazugawa, who seemed particularly clueless, was very polite.
For a moment, Kanzaki Teru even wondered if the person in front of him had eaten something bad.
"Is this Mr. Kanzaki Teru?"
The voice seemed to possess an incredible power, and Kanzaki Teru heard it.
I felt a little lightheaded, and the anger in my heart subsided considerably.
However, from his perspective, there was no reason for him to bow.
"Who are you? Did you send these people to kill me?"
Turning his head, Kanzaki Teru realized why the person's aura was so weak.
Two girls, who looked almost identical, were supporting him, and his face was covered with scars that looked like they had been eroded, starting from the top of his head.
This doesn't seem like an injury acquired later in life; it's more like something you were born with.
For this reason, he has become completely blind.
Even so, he was still able to see the situation clearly.
His strength shouldn't be that great, which means he must have some special abilities.
"I am Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the 97th head of the Demon Slayer Corps."
"So, what brings you here?"
"I wonder if we could talk alone?"
"No, my lord! This person is extremely dangerous!"
Even after witnessing Kanzaki Hikaru's strength, Shinazugawa remained worried about his safety.
It's clear that his loyalty is absolutely beyond question.
Although he appeared extremely rude, his words were remarkably polite.
"it does not matter."
"But--!"
Although Shinazugawa seemed to want to say something more, Ubuyashiki raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Although you two had a great chat, I never said I wanted to chat with you."
Kanzaki Teru had no interest in playing house with them here; after all, he had other very important things to do.
So he turned and prepared to leave without looking back, but someone blocked his way.
"You! You must not be disrespectful in front of our lord."
"What does it have to do with me? He's not my lord."
"you!"
The man drew his knife from his waist, looking like he was about to attack again.
·· ···Request flowers······
"Don't be rude, Igu!"
However, Ubuyashiki stopped him again, though he seemed very unwilling on the surface.
However, it is clear that the person they call their lord is of a much higher status than Kanzaki Teru has imagined.
Seeing that no one was stopping him, Kanzaki Teru took a step without hesitation.
