Giyuu turned around and saw Ryosuke, his throat tightening; "They're still trying to save him..."
Ryosuke pulled him to sit on the porch, his brows furrowed.
"What exactly is going on?"
"It's all my fault. Sabito got injured while saving me."
Yi Yong felt extremely guilty as he recalled the events.
"We all thought it was just a routine mission, but after we killed the demon, Lower Moon Two appeared..."
"Water Breathing - First Form: Water Surface Slash!"
Sabito's Nichirin Blade flashed past in an instant.
The demon before them had its head severed and its body turned to ashes.
"solved."
Sabito turned his head and looked at Giyu, who was also sheathing his sword, and chuckled softly.
"Yiyong, you can't do this. We both need to kill fifty ghosts. If you always give up and I beat you to it, what will happen? There's only one spot for the water jet."
Yi Yong shook his head: "It's nothing."
For him, becoming stronger was about slaying demons and protecting others; the title of Pillar was not his goal.
Moreover, he would be happy if Sabito could become a water pillar.
Seeing his expression, Sakoto felt helpless. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed!
A cold, viscous pressure emanated from the depths of the dense forest.
That aura was far stronger than any evil spirit they had ever encountered before!
"Giggle..."
A chilling laugh rang out, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
He was tall and thin, dressed in simple, ancient clothing, with deathly pale skin and a gloomy expression.
Two words were clearly etched in his left eye.
"Lower Moon...Two?!"
Sabito cried out in surprise and instinctively shielded Giyu behind him.
Yiyong's pupils contracted, and he gripped the hilt of his knife tightly.
Yuanming grinned, revealing sharp fangs, with a condescending and playful expression.
"My name is Yuan Ming!"
Without any unnecessary words, Sabito shot out like an arrow!
The Nichirin Blade unleashed a surging wave of slashes, hurtling straight towards Yuanming's neck!
Breath of Water - Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!
Yuan Ming chuckled, neither dodging nor avoiding, and instead threw out both fists to meet the attack head-on!
The rabbit felt a tremendous force coming from it, and it was forced to retreat backward uncontrollably.
Just then, Yi Yong approached like a ghost, aiming straight for Yuan Ming's throat!
Water Breathing - Seventh Form - Shizuku Ripple Strike!
Yuanming suddenly turned his head, his hands curled into claws, and with a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, he grabbed at Yiyong's face!
When Yi Yong's first attack missed, he immediately changed his move to parry.
Yi Yong took a few steps back, his expression grave.
In just one brief exchange, the two gained a preliminary understanding of Yuan Ming's strength.
"Good teamwork, two mice."
Yuanming twisted his neck, making a "crackling" sound.
The next moment, he suddenly lunged forward, his fists striking with fierce and unpredictable force, sometimes like whips, sometimes like hammers.
The rabbit and the brave warrior worked in perfect harmony, alternating between offense and defense, constantly entangled in battle with the abyss.
The misty water vapor, the sharp blades, and the force of the fists intertwined, constantly tearing each other apart.
Yuanming gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, and the wounds on his body continued to increase.
Even with a severed arm, he relied on the Lower Moon Demon's regenerative abilities to attack without defending, his fists raining down!
Sabito and Giyu were both covered in his blood.
Yuanming forced the two back and quickly retreated, his expression extremely strange.
Just as Sabito and Giyu were about to give chase, a bone-chilling cold spread up their spines like maggots clinging to their bones!
The ghost blood that stained their bodies began to writhe and emanate a chilling aura.
"Yiyong, quickly wipe the blood off your body!"
The rabbit was the first to react, and cried out in surprise.
"Too late!"
Yuanming roared, muttering under his breath as he condensed something in his palm.
"Blood Demon Art: Blood Prison Ice Thorns!"
In an instant, the blood on the two of them turned into thin, long ice needles that pierced their bodies!
The excruciating pain that tore their bodies apart almost suffocated them.
The cold air penetrated their bodies, and the blood they vomited was covered with ice crystals!
Yuanming grinned maliciously and charged straight at Yiyong, whose movements were slightly slower!
The rabbit's eyes widened in horror, and it reacted almost instinctively!
Ignoring the ice needles stuck in his body, he forcefully leaped up and stood in front of Yi Yong!
Water Breathing - Eighth Form - Water Teapot!
The misty water vapor slashed down from above!
Yuanming hadn't expected Qiantu to be so reckless.
His attack slowed, and he raised his arm to block the heavy blow.
The Nichirin Blade severed his arm and plunged viciously into his shoulder!
At the same time, Yuanming's other ghostly claw lashed out, piercing through the abdomen of the tadpole!
"Qiangtu!!!"
Yi Yong cried out in alarm, his breathing suddenly stopping.
"Uh-"
Sabito spat out a mouthful of blood, gripping the Nichirin Blade tightly with both hands and refusing to let go, roaring fiercely!
"Yiyong! Quick! Cut off his head!"
This is an opportunity that the rabbit created with its life!
Yi Yong did not hesitate; all his grief and anger transformed into the purest power at that moment!
Water Breathing - First Form - Water Surface Slash!
The Nichirin Blade flashed a cold light, like ripples on a mirror-like surface of water.
The knife flashed!
Yuanming's head flew off, a trace of disbelief still lingering in his eyes.
"impossible……"
Before he could finish speaking, his body and head began to rapidly disintegrate and turn to ashes.
Almost at the moment Yuanming died, the ice needles that had pierced into Qiantu and Yiyong's bodies also dissipated.
Yi Yong staggered forward and caught him.
The wound on the rabbit's abdomen was shocking, with blood gushing out.
His face was as pale as paper, and his breath quickly became weak.
"It's...it's alright..."
Sabito looked at Giyuu's anxious face and forced a smile: "Well done... Giyuu..."
After saying that, he completely lost consciousness.
"Sassafras! Hang in there! Please, please hang in there!"
Yi Yong frantically pressed his hand against the wound to try to stop the bleeding, but blood continued to gush out from between his fingers.
He was overwhelmed by immense fear and helplessness.
Fortunately, reinforcements arrived, and the Hidden Ones and the healers quickly provided emergency treatment to Sabito and sent it to the Butterfly House.
Chapter 78 I am Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
"So that's it."
After listening to Giyu's story, Ryosuke patted him on the shoulder.
“Go and treat your wound first. Staying here won’t help and will only make us worry.”
Yi Yong seemed not to hear, stubbornly staring into the inner room like a soulless sculpture.
Just then, the door to the Butterfly Mansion was opened.
The hidden figure from the Butterfly Mansion emerged and looked at the two of them.
"Lord Naruhashi, Mr. Giyu, and Mr. Sabito are out of danger."
