Chapter 64 "Pillar", standing tall and upright!
At this moment, just as at that moment.
Li Mo thought of Tanjiro who was far away in Kumotoriki. The boy should be asleep now, right? Has he started practicing the Fire God Kagura? Has he started helping with housework?
Immediately, the image of the grown-up Tanjiro wielding a broken blade and performing the Fire God Kagura appeared in his mind.
——Tanjiro at that time was very similar to myself now.
but……
clang-
The broken knife was sheathed.
"Li Mo, what's your answer?"
Akaza asked again, already ready for battle. As long as Li Mo answered, the attack would come in an instant.
The answer is very important.
Li Mo no longer had the right to resist it. Even though the opponent's fighting spirit was still swaying, the swordsman without the Sun Blade was no longer threatening. It was like an adult not caring about an unarmed child.
The man Akaza was staring at showed no sign of trying to grab Shinjuro's sword. All the muscles in his body were relaxed, and there was no sign of the collision that was going on earlier.
"My answer is already very obvious."
"Then you go die."
Akaza lost his patience. He appeared in front of Li Mo as if teleporting, and then punched him in the chin.
however--
The expected scene of the opponent's head exploding like a watermelon did not happen, and Li Mo flew backwards like a kite.
What did I just hit? Was it cotton? Something was wrong. This feeling was totally wrong.
Akaza hesitated. He was very confident in his control of strength. With a human body, the circle just now could completely break all the bones in the opponent's jaw. The shock caused by the strong force had a severe impact on the brain.
But the other party didn't look like he was affected at all!
It was as if - I didn't hit the opponent at all?
Li Mo fell to the ground again, shook his head, reconnected his dislocated jaw, and rushed forward instantly!
"What are you hesitating about? Do you think I'm still weak after losing the Nichirin Sword? Akaza, you are too naive!"
The fist hit Akaza's head, and the man flew backwards.
Akaza adjusted his body shape in the air and half-crouched on the ground. He roared: "How is this possible! Your strength is not like that of a human."
"Are you underestimating five thousand years of martial arts? Akaza!"
Li Mo didn't give Akaza any chance to react and rushed forward. Just like Akaza, his fists became his weapon.
The hand-to-hand combat began. The feeling of fists hitting flesh was unfamiliar to him, but as time passed, Li Mo gradually mastered this feeling. The most primitive weapon of mankind is also the most powerful weapon.
"Martial arts? Martial arts! What kind of martial arts is this? I have never seen it before. Is it martial arts from the mainland? What kind of martial arts is this?"
Today, Akaza encountered too many surprises. When will the swordsman who kills demons be able to fight after losing the Nichirin Sword?
The opponent's strength is not inferior to mine...
The opponent's speed is not inferior to mine...
The opponent's skills are not inferior to mine...
"Hahaha! Li Mo, I'm really glad to see you! I see, I see. You don't care about my supreme realm because you already have a supreme realm!"
Every time the fists collided, Akaza felt like he was hitting cotton. He understood why Li Mo's hand-to-hand combat ability was not inferior to that of a ghost!
"You took away my power!"
"My fist can penetrate rocks, but it can't destroy grass! If I must say, you have turned your body into a feather floating in the air!"
“It’s really, really exciting!”
"What's the name of this technique?!"
Fists collide again.
The ghost's dark blue fist contrasted sharply with the human's yellow skin.
——The two are equally powerful.
Li Mo and Akaza retreated almost at the same time.
"You could call it, 'force elimination.'"
"Dissipate energy."
A huge tree will be blown down by the strong wind, but a weak blade of grass will not. An adult will break a bone when falling, but a child falling from a height will not. A piece of wood in the air will be cut, but a piece of soft paper will not.
Normal people, when facing an attack, will tense up all the muscles in their body. The collision with the attack is a head-on collision, and whoever has a high hardness will survive. However, the human body is too fragile. The hardness is too low.
"Elimination" is a technique that allows the human body to relax and make the opponent's attack ineffective. Akaza's battle sense is very sharp, and he immediately saw the essence of "Elimination", which is to make his body like a feather or paper floating in the air.
"Dissipate force, dissipate force! How interesting! Is this the path you are taking, Li Mo? Great, I will respect you and kill you with the most powerful martial arts.
Destroy and kill the ghost core and the eight cores!"
In an instant, Akaza's attacks came from all directions, and the skills honed over hundreds of years were deployed one by one at this moment. Moreover, the opponent was a man who also used both fists!
A fight between ghosts and humans!
Akaza had never been so excited, even when he was at his upper limit, he was not so excited when fighting Kokushibo.
"I don't think you can kill me, Akaza!"
Bang bang bang————
Li Mo's fists intercepted the opponent's fists one by one, and with the help of "force dissipation", all the impact forces on his fists were removed, and the damage to his body was reduced to a minimum.
Using "force dissipation" to unleash a huge amount of power in the moment between relaxation and tension, Li Mo successfully knocked Akaza away.
"I feel like your martial arts are soulless. What exactly are you learning martial arts for? Learning techniques? Akaza!"
"That is the pursuit of the highest realm."
"No, this is not a reason at all. As a ghost, you are also transformed from a human, and humans are so lazy that they will never pursue the ultimate in martial arts for no reason! Humans like beautiful women, power, and strength. But they will never simply pursue the highest realm!
Even if he is a martial arts fanatic, he is just pursuing the ultimate strength!"
Human nature is inherently evil.
Because the world is a big dye vat with many colors. As a child who is a blank sheet of paper, after being stained with more and more colors, he will gradually turn black.
You see, colors are amazing. White is only white when it is not accompanied by other colors or affected by other colors. And all colors together are black.
——Li Mo doesn't think that in this world, some people are born to pursue the ultimate in martial arts. Geniuses like Yuichi Tsugikoku have been lost before. So there is no need to say more about others!
"Akaza! Do you still remember your memories as a human? Do you remember why you first pursued martial arts?"
The wind from their fists whistled, and the weapons of the two men, who were moving at such high speed, were mostly left with cracks from being stepped on.
The heads of Li Mo and Akaza were so close that Li Mo could clearly see the smile on the other's mouth.
The evil ghost said, "How can I remember something like that?"
"...You don't remember anything? Akaza, do you know how I feel right now?"
Colliding and struggling, Li Mo's anger gradually evolved into another emotion.
"What is it?"
"I'm beginning to pity you."
"why?"
"You've even forgotten where you started. Isn't that pathetic enough?"
starting point?
Akaza's fist paused for a moment, which resulted in his head being hit by Li Mo, and he flew backwards.
What is your starting point?
The boy who became a ghost had completely forgotten what he was originally like. It seemed that the only thing he remembered was the hard training he had after becoming a ghost.
Why do I want to become a ghost?
Why do you want to learn martial arts?
Li Mo is an opponent worthy of respect, an opponent who is walking on another path, and an opponent who must be killed.
The other party looks back at his starting point and heads towards the end.
What about yourself?
"Damn, this feeling is so disgusting!"
Anger, reappeared.
Was it because of the headache from Li Mo's fist hitting him?
Or is it because of the helplessness and anger that he can't remember anything?
that's not important.
"As for the starting point, I will slowly look for it after I kill you!
Destruction Kill·Final Style·Blue and Silver Chaotic Afterglow!"
This was Akaza's ultimate move, the pinnacle of his hundreds of years of martial arts. A Luozhen formation appeared under his feet, and in an instant, hundreds of air bombs were fired one by one with him as the center.
A wall appeared in Li Mo's perspective.
A wall of air bombs.
Each air bullet is equivalent to one punch from Akaza.
He had no time to dodge, and his entire body was like a small boat in the sea of air bullets. Even if he relied on "force dissipation" to dissipate the force, dozens of fists hit him in one second. Even if he dissipated most of the force, the remaining force accumulated and caused considerable damage.
The human body... is too fragile.
Li Mo had to agree with Akaza.
There was smoke all around, and not all of Akaza's air bombs hit Li Mo. Many of them hit the ground, leaving holes on the ground as if they had been hit by artillery shells.
