Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

Kokushibo had already noticed the situation on Akaza's side a long time ago. When he saw Akaza being defeated in his direction, his eyes suddenly focused.

Although Akaza was not as strong as himself in overall strength after receiving the gift from Muzan Kibutsuji, he only fought with Tanjiro Kamado a few times, but he couldn't hold on?
Could it be that the opponent didn’t use his full strength last time?
Kokushibo shook his head. The opponent must have used all his strength at that time, otherwise he couldn't think of any reason for the opponent to let him win.

That means that after such a long time, the other party has become stronger?
This thought arose in Kokushibo's mind. Although he felt it was impossible, after eliminating all the wrong answers, the last answer, no matter how outrageous it was, was the correct one.

Kokushibo couldn't help but sigh that if Tanjiro Kamado could be given time, perhaps he would have a chance to grow to an unimaginable level.

But that’s where it ends. No matter how strong Tanjiro Kamado is, he can’t be stronger than he is now.

With the help of Muzan Kibutsuji, he already felt that he had taken two big steps forward.

As the saying goes, force can defeat skill.

Skills are sometimes important, but absolute strength is the right way.

The reason why he was defeated by Tanjiro Kamado was because of this. Otherwise, how could he lose to the opponent with the skills he had honed for hundreds of years?
As soon as he thought of this, Kokushibo had already raised the Nichirin Sword in his hand. His eyes suddenly became serious, and the temperament around him became noticeably different.

Then he suddenly swung the knife.

A heavy blade light suddenly appeared in the air, extending rapidly in the air, and then turned into a black curtain that covered the sky and the sun.

Form 8: Moon Dragon Tail

This move was used again by Kokushibo, but it was completely different from before.

This move covers a larger area than the previous one and is faster.

Visually, this blade light that was like a black curtain seemed to appear suddenly and instantly descended to the sides of the four pillar-level swordsmen around them.

The four people, led by Beimingyu Xingming, were immediately horrified and shouted:
"Rewind."

The four of them galloped and immediately cleared a large area around Kokushibo.

After forcing back these people who made him feel like flies, Kokushibo no longer paid any attention to them and flew towards Akaza.

No matter what, he still had high hopes for Akaza, and naturally couldn't just watch him die in front of him.

When the other three Pillar-level swordsmen saw Kokushibo's appearance, they wanted to chase after him.

However, he was stopped by Beimingyu Xingming:

"There's no need to follow them. The battle that follows is not something we can participate in."

Beimei Yuxingmei's expression was a little complicated. After experiencing Kokushibo's attack just now, he already understood that Kokushibo was basically just coping when fighting with them before.

In fact, the other party has always been concerned about Tanjiro Kamado.

The power that was just casually displayed was enough to prove that the other party was capable of killing them, but he was just being careful and wary of Tanjiro Kamado.

They also have to thank Tanjiro Kamado. If Tanjiro Kamado had not appeared and defeated Akaza in such a short time, it is very likely that Kokushibo would have had time to clean up after them.

Speaking of this, Gyomei Hirame couldn't help but sigh at the strength of Tanjiro Kamado. He actually defeated Akaza before Kokushibo decided to exert his strength, which proved the opponent's strength.

Now, if they rush forward with their strength, they will not be able to let Tanjiro Kamado use his full strength. In this case, they might as well clean up the monsters that are wreaking havoc in the headquarters first.

Perhaps after the cleanup, we can gather everyone's strength to help Tanjiro Kamado.

Beimingyu Xingmei paused for a moment and sighed in his heart that he could only rely on Tanjiro Kamado.

The three pillar-level swordsmen beside him pounced on the evil spirits in other areas.

At this point, all the Pillar-level swordsmen, as well as the team members who had participated in Tanjiro Kamado's teaching, all participated in this battle.

There were flashes of swords and sabers everywhere, and the situation was extremely chaotic.

However, no matter how chaotic the scene was, it could not affect the one man and two ghosts standing in the center of the entire battlefield.

The moment Kokushibo arrived at the battlefield, Tanjiro Kamado had already stopped.

After rescuing Akaza, Kokushibo stopped and looked at Tanjiro Kamado from a distance.

Although neither of them spoke much, there was an invisible energy colliding between them.

As the qi collided more frequently, it was as if two heavy fists collided in the air at any time, stirring up gusts of wind around the two people, and finally exploded directly between the two people, stirring up layers of dust around them.

At this time, Kokushibo finally spoke:

"Tanjiro, I didn't expect you to have made such great progress in just two months."

"Really? Even if we humans don't have the ability to devour others like you evil spirits, there are still infinite possibilities."

Tanjiro Kamado said coldly. He naturally was not in the mood to explain so much to Kokushibo.

Kokushibo actually agreed with what Tanjiro Kamado said, because he had indeed seen such a person.

"I agree with what you said, but I think the probability is too small. Talent is something that only belongs to special people. I should have stopped two hundred years ago, but now I am standing at a height that I never dared to imagine before. This is the infinite possibility that only a ghost can have."

Kokushibo sighed.

"That's not the reason why you became a ghost."

There was a hint of pity in Tanjiro Kamado's eyes.

This instantly stimulated Kokushibo, because at this moment he felt that the eyes of Tanjiro Kamado in front of him were familiar and dazzling.

He will never forget that many years ago, someone used the same expression on him.

That was Jiguo Yuanyi's compassion for him.

This pity made him confused, and then turned into anger many years later.

The anger turned into his spirit of not wanting to admit defeat and not wanting to lose.

Kokushibo felt a fire burning in his heart, igniting him:
"So what? As long as I'm stronger than you, that's enough."

His dull voice echoed in the space, and then he drew his sword without any hesitation:

"There is nothing to say. Only those who survive will have the opportunity to tell everything."

As soon as the words fell, a heavy blade light flashed out, with a hint of blood in the blade light, condensed into the shape of a crescent moon.

This sword was extremely fast and had been trained by Kokushibo to the point where it could no longer be trained.

Type 1: Dark Moon: Palace of the Night
There were three pairs of eyes on the surface of his body and on his face, all of which were firmly locked on Tanjiro Kamado.

He believed that with so many eyes fixed on him, Tanjiro Kamado would be unable to avoid the attack.

The fragile human body would certainly not be able to withstand this sword, and the only choice for Tanjiro Kamado was to fight this attack head-on.

Sure enough, just as Kokushibo had guessed, Tanjiro Kamado had no intention of retreating. Instead, he took a step forward and did not draw the Nichirin sword from his waist. Instead, he clenched his fists and punched forward.

Just like him, there was no fancy straight punch. Both the knife and the punch were simple to the extreme.

The only thing they were competing for was their strength and speed.

"Is that so? Well, I'll let you fully understand the gap between us!"

Kokushibo said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words came out, the two of them collided violently.

"Ding!" The crisp sound of metal colliding was heard.

Akaza, who was waiting for an opportunity to strike, kept his eyes wide open, watching to see what this attack would turn out to be like.

The two were instantly separated.

Tanjiro Kamado still didn't change at all, but Kokushibo's pupils suddenly contracted.

Because he saw that the sword blade made of his own blood had a crack at this moment, and then suddenly broke at the fracture.

"Your power..."

Kokushibo said in a deep voice that he had felt the great power of Tanjiro Kamado before, but at that time Tanjiro Kamado was overwhelming him, so he didn't feel it specifically.

Now he could clearly feel that the distance between himself and Tanjiro Kamado was not as big as before, but at this time, he realized how big the gap in power was between him and Tanjiro Kamado.

"I've already told you that you are no match for me in your current state."

Tanjiro Kamado said coldly.

"How could I lose if I'm not your opponent?"

Kokushibo raised his head, and the countless eyes on his body were staring at Tanjiro Kamado.

"Then let me show you what power a ghost has!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the kimono on Kokushibo's body suddenly exploded, and countless blades emerged from all parts of his body. The blade in his hand also transformed into a multi-edged sword.

His entire body has turned into a monster.

"I'm willing to do anything to defeat you."

Kokushibo shouted loudly, his aura surged, and every muscle in his body tensed.

Then he moved suddenly and disappeared into the air.

Tanjiro Kamado's expression moved slightly, and a hint of interest finally flashed in his eyes. The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.

In the air, there were countless sounds of metal clashing and bursts of flames.

Akaza felt that he had no room to intervene at all.

He didn't know that Kokushibo had become so strong after accepting the gift from Muzan Kibutsuji.

This made him extremely unwilling, but no matter how unwilling he was, he stared closely at the place where the fire and sound were constantly coming from, to avoid missing any details.

Just when the sounds of metal clashing were about to merge into the sound of rain, Akaza's pupils suddenly shrank.

Because he actually heard a crisp breaking sound amidst the sound of rain.

Then a blade with an eye embedded in it brushed his cheek and stopped on the far wall.

It shouldn't be said that the blade penetrated into the wall like cutting tofu.

Then after a while, he saw more blades flying out from where the endless flames were.

Then two black shadows appeared again in Akaza's field of vision.

Akaza looked at the two of them nervously, wanting to know what the outcome of the collision just now would be.

After seeing the two people's appearance clearly, Akaza's pupils suddenly shrank.

Because at this time, Kokushibo was breathing heavily, staring at Tanjiro Kamado opposite him. The multi-blade sword in his hand was already badly broken, with only half of the blade left, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

But Tanjiro Kamado didn't even take a breath. Although his clothes were slightly torn, there was no trace of blood. He looked at Kokushibo indifferently.

"How can this be?"

Akaza exclaimed.

How could Tanjiro Kamado maintain this state after being attacked like that just now?

Human endurance shouldn't be any weaker.

Could it be?

A terrible thought arose in Akaza's mind.

Could it be that Tanjiro Kamado hadn't actually been using his full strength just now?

Akaza couldn't help but feel a sense of fear rising in his heart.

At this moment, there was disbelief in Kokushibo's eyes:
"I didn't expect you to be so strong. I underestimated you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kokushibo spat out a mouthful of blood, directly staining the ground beneath his feet red.

His heart was filled with resentment, because he had come this far, but had not yet defeated Tanjiro Kamado?

Tanjiro Kamado is too strong, but is he going to give in like this?

Kokushibo's vision became blurred. In order to capture Tanjiro Kamado's movements, he had undoubtedly raised his concentration to an extremely high level.

Now it is he himself who is finding it difficult to cope with it.

Although his vision was blurred, he could clearly see the trace of pity in Tanjiro Kamado's eyes.

The fire that had just been extinguished due to the frustration of being defeated suddenly rose again in his heart.

A voice cried out in his heart:

He can't lose!

"No, I can't lose. How can I lose to such a young man..."

The sound of despair, like that coming from the bottom of a well, is chilling.

He just felt that something was being released in his heart.

More blades pierced out of his body, and then quickly lost the appearance of blades and turned into pure flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood swirled and turned into primitive spikes.

"Tanjiro, I'm going to defeat you!"

Kokushibo roared, and his body moved suddenly, even faster than before.

This time, there was more pity in Tanjiro Kamado's eyes.

When Kokushibo saw Tanjiro Kamado's eyes, his restlessness became even stronger, and endless anger ignited his reason.

He kicked off with his feet and rushed towards Tanjiro Kamado like a cannonball, and his speed was even faster.

He opened his big mouth full of spikes and let out a roar like a wild beast from his throat.

"He has completely turned into a monster."

Tanjiro Kamado sighed softly, took a step forward, and then performed the simplest action.

Raise your arm and punch. (End of this chapter)
