Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 286 You guys are too weak



Chapter 286 You guys are too weak

"Hahaha! So strong! So strong!!"

Shinazugawa Genya's lips curled into a flamboyant, maniacal smile as streaks of blood trickled from the back of his hand, attacking Yuuko.

Yuko retaliated with blood-red threads, the long, blood-red lines stretching out streaks of red light that intertwined in mid-air.

Wherever it went, streaks of ice stretched across the ground.

Tanjiro swallowed hard. "That's amazing."

It only swallowed one of Yuko's hairs.

However, before Shinazugawa Genya could control him for long, the maniacal smile on his lips suddenly froze, and he fell straight down.

"Huh?!" Tanjiro's eyes widened, completely bewildered by what had happened.

“It’s good to be young,” Yu Zi remarked, then looked up at the sky. “This thing isn’t so easy to control; it takes a lot of energy.”

Putting aside the fact that Yuko is still only researching her Blood Demon Art and hasn't really gotten serious yet, otherwise the fake would shatter upon contact with the real thing.

Moreover, even she couldn't control these bloodlines too much, let alone the fact that Shinazugawa Genya obtained the authority from her.

Of course, the bloodline can be controlled unconsciously, but that would trigger a berserk state, destroying everything around her except herself.

Yuko didn't want to turn around and see her teammates being cut into a pile of minced meat before they even had a chance to fight Muzan.

This is something that Genya is unable to do.

Shinazugawa Genya rubbed his head as he got up from the ground: "Damn it, my head hurts so much."

Thanks to Yuko's regenerative abilities, the wounds on his arm inflicted by the Nichirin Blade have completely healed, leaving no trace of scarring.

Yu Zi squinted and said, "Isn't it because you're too arrogant?"

Using her abilities against her, and being so arrogant, is going too far.

Genya Shinazugawa scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

Tanjiro frowned, becoming unusually serious: "Miss Yuuko, please be serious."

"Ok?"

“If it’s about abilities, we already know.” Tanjiro took a deep breath. “I hope you will fight us seriously.”

He could understand Yuko's strength and the importance of intelligence gaps in combat.

But now, they have figured out Ms. Yuko's abilities.

Therefore, Tanjiro did not want her to be so casual.

Instead, they wanted Yuko to be more serious.

Yuko wasn't angry at all, and asked with a smile, "Then how serious do you want me to be, Tanjiro?"

Tanjiro sensed a hint of danger in her smile, but he still forced himself to say, "I hope it's at least the suppressive power of Upper Moon One."

“Yan Sheng…” Yu Zi shook her head helplessly: “It’s not that I’m not serious, but you guys are still far from being good enough.”

"Even if it were me in the past, you wouldn't be able to win in your current state."

Kanao gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, unable to refute it; they had never even encountered Miss Yuko.

Whether now or in the past.

Tanjiro asked somewhat unwillingly, "Is the difference really that big?"

Even now, after countless training sessions, I've unlocked the legendary markings.

Yu Zi opened her mouth, intending to say a few words of comfort to him.

Tanjiro looked blankly at the Nichirin Blade in his hand and asked, "Then how exactly do we defeat Muzan?"

Tanjiro had long doubted his own abilities. Could someone with such abilities truly inherit Yoriichi's sword?

Yu Zi sighed, as if she had somewhat discouraged the child.

The original intention of this training was simply for Yuko to test the extent of her current abilities.

I never thought about what kind of training I would give Tanjiro and the others.

Because it's too weak.

Butterfly sighed. "You've really committed a terrible sin to have turned that sunny Tanjiro into this."

They went too far.

Hearing Tanjiro's words, Shinazugawa Genya and Kanao also fell silent.

It's hard to talk about, but they're the same.

Nothing can be done.

It's terrible of me to be so smug about being smug because of Ms. Yuko's power.

Sensing the low spirits of the crowd, Yu Zi sighed and said, "Transparent Domain."

"The markings only elevate your physical abilities to a level sufficient to fight against Upper Moons, but the Transparent Domain is the path that opens up your way to the pinnacle."

Everyone turned to look.

They were naturally aware of the Transparent Domain, but...

"However, besides pushing the body to its limit, it also requires extremely high martial arts talent, which not everyone can master."

Of the three pieces, the Crimson Blade is the easiest to achieve, but also the hardest, as it is a special attack against Oni.

As for the markings, all it takes is pushing the body to its limits, overusing breathing techniques, and adjusting body temperature and heart rate.

These are all things that Yuko's penetrating vision can clearly observe, and she can stop observing them at any time.

But the transparent realm is different.

It requires absolute martial arts talent; even someone as strong as Akaza couldn't master this skill after hundreds of years.

Currently, only Yuko and Iwakatsu probably possess this skill.

Of course, Ikuko believed that Tanjiro could do it.

However, what she was really worried about was that she couldn't perfectly control that limit.

Unlike the Marked Skin, where one can directly sense changes in body temperature and heart rate, the limits required to reach the Transparent Domain are difficult for Yuuko to control.

If something unexpected happens, she won't even have time to cry.

Tanjiro understood what Ikuko was saying because Ikuko had brought up this topic before.

But Tanjiro can no longer tolerate his own weakness.

He didn't want to be unable to help at all.

"Miss Yuko, I'm begging you," Tanjiro said seriously. "I don't want to be unable to help at all when the time comes."

Although he hadn't had the chance to fight anyone else these past few days, he had seen it through Shinazugawa Sanemi's battles.

Even now that he has awakened his mark, he probably wouldn't be a match for Sanemi.

This greatly discouraged Tanjiro, who then wished to become more useful.

Kanao chimed in, "Me too."

Shinazugawa Genya didn't say anything, he just looked at her intently.

Yu Zi was in a dilemma; she wished she hadn't tried.

Now look what's happened, this has driven someone crazy!

Yuko hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about this, we'll find some time to train together after the Pillars finish their special training."

At least that way, there would be other high-level swordsmen who could help share the pressure.

At that time, Shinobu can hold her blood and wait nearby. If anyone is accidentally injured by her, she can immediately drag them out of the battlefield for treatment.

In theory, any injury that is not fatal can be saved.

She can now feel a little more at ease using her abilities.
