Chapter 58 Crushing.
---
Gyomei Himejima dragged the chain, and the broadaxe whizzed down.
However, before he had even walked halfway through the road, Aoki's palm was already close to his neck.
At the critical moment, a pink long sword thrust out from below.
Clang!
Aoki's sword was blocked, but he was not disappointed at all.
"As expected!"
Gyomei Himejima was very strong and was undoubtedly the strongest member of the Demon Slayer Squad.
Although he was blind, his other senses, including his intuition, were extremely keen. He even had an inner eye that could see through superficial illusions and penetrate into the essence of things.
Coupled with the sound of his special weapon, he could accurately grasp the surrounding space and the enemy's movements without being affected by any visual defects.
"It's a pity that you met me."
Aoki said silently.
"Space shuttle" allowed him to skip all the intermediate processes and appear directly next to Gyomei Himejima from a distance.
Without vision, this defect would be infinitely magnified.
No matter how superb his skill, the weight of Gyomei Himejima's weapon determined that his attack speed was limited.
Adding the two together, for him, as the strongest member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyomei Himejima became the least threatening and easiest person to deal with.
If "transparent world" was the nemesis of the Akaza, then "space shuttle" was undoubtedly the nemesis of Gyomei Himejima.
Whoosh! The broadaxe swept across but did not even touch the corner of Aoki's clothes.
Butterfly Kanae turned around sharply.
"Kanae-san's moves are so gentle too!"
Mr. Aomura's voice sounded in her ears, and at the same time, she felt a pain in her chest and flew out.
At this time, Tomioka Giyu, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and Uzui Tengen arrived at the same time, surrounding Aoki.
"Water Breath, Seventh Form, Drop Ripple thrust!"
"Breath of Wind, Sixth Form, Black Wind Mountain Mist!"
"The Breath of Sound, First Form, Roar!"
Boom!
Aoki's figure disappeared, and all three long knives missed.
With the improvement of his intelligence, he had become more and more able to control the "space shuttle." His control of distance had become more precise, and his "cooling time" had also been reduced by almost half.
"This ability again!"
Sanemi's expressions were a bit ugly.
When they heard Kanae describe it before, they felt that it was very troublesome. After experiencing it, they found that it was ten times more difficult than expected!
The light outlined Aoki's figure. He landed lightly and looked at the five people opposite.
Kanae and Gyomei Himejima faced each other with their backs to each other, while Sanemi Shinazugawa, Tomioka Giyu, and Uzui Tengen each guarded an area.
"Are you waiting for me to take the initiative to attack?" Aoki said.
The faces of the five pillars all darkened.
"The First Form, Dust Whirlwind Cutter."
Sanemi Shinazugawa slashed sharply with his long sword, and a spiral wind blade suddenly took shape.
Uzui Tengen and Tomioka Giyu also launched attacks at the same time.
Kanae and Gyomei Himejima were in the Underworld Raiding Formation, ready to capture traces of Aoki's "flash" at any time.
Pillars were not very good at cooperating with each other.
They were usually very busy, each with their own area of responsibility, and there was no time to practice coordination.
But they all had very high combat qualities.
Even if they had never worked together before, they could quickly learn the ropes.
By the way, they also came up with a way to deal with the "space shuttle."
From what you could see, it was like two groups attacking alternately, with one group on guard against the other.
That was the formation they were currently using.
"That's a good idea, but have you forgotten something?"
Aoki's expression was calm, and the muscle changes of the three people were clearly reflected in the transparent world. He knew their moves and movements clearly.
Next, he moved.
Bang bang bang!
Sanemi Shinazugawa, Tomioka Giyu, and Uzui Tengen flew out at the same time, with traces of blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, and their faces became a little pale.
Aoki also had a few wounds on his body, but they were completely healed in the blink of an eye, and his eyes passed over the three of them.
They were just three whiteboard pillars, did he need to hide?
The expressions of Sanemi Shinazugawa, Butterfly Kanae, and Gyomei Himejima, who were not directly involved in the attack, all froze.
They had thought about various possibilities but never considered the situation where the three pillars could not defeat even if they worked together.
One-on-one didn't work, two-on-one, three-on-one didn't work, and five-on-one didn't work.
How could they fight this?
Aoki didn't care what they thought. He flashed his body and suddenly appeared above Uzui Tengen, who had not yet landed.
Uzui Tengen's expression changed greatly, and he slashed with his knife without hesitation.
But Aoki was faster. The first punch knocked his weapon away, and the second punch hit his heart.
Boom!
Uzui Tengen hit the ground hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood again.
Aoki took advantage of the recoil, his body slightly vacated for a distance, and then disappeared again.
"The Breath of Wind, Fifth Form, Cold Mountain Wind!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa waved his long sword directly out of thin air after seeing Uzui Tengen being attacked.
"What a pity, it's still useless!"
In the transparent world, all his movements were clearly visible, and Aoki appeared directly on the side where the long sword could not attack.
Boom!
Sanemi Shinazugawa flew out, feeling like his waist was broken.
"Uzui! Sanemi!"
At this time, the attacks of Gyomei Himejima and Butterfly Kanae also arrived.
In fact, they reacted when the three people were seriously injured.
But Aoki's movements were too fast, and in just a blink of an eye, Uzui Tengen and Sanemi Shinazugawa were hit hard again.
"Rock Breathing, Fifth Form, Arcs of justice!"
"Flower Breathing, Fourth Form, Crimson Hanagoromo!"
What made the two angry and helpless was that Aoki's figure disappeared again.
"Mr. Giyu, be careful!" Butterfly Kanae shouted without even looking.
However.
Her reminder was still too late.
When she just said the first word, Tomioka Giyu had already seen the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.
Bang, bang, bang!
The long sword was unsheathed, and the two quickly fought.
Aoki was intact, but Tomioka Giyu was hit by several punches, and his face became paler.
At this moment, the sound of the chain rustling sounded, and the strong wind poured in from the back of the neck.
Aoki let go of Tomioka Giyu, who was about to fall, and turned around to grab him.
Crash!
His palm accurately avoided the broadaxe and grabbed the chain.
Gyomei Himejima paused, realizing that this was not good.
Aoki pulled hard.
The chain tightened, and Gyomei Himejima took a step forward uncontrollably.
Now, even the best human physique was inferior to him in absolute strength.
Butterfly Kanae appeared beside him: "Flower Breathing, Fifth Form, Peonies of Futility."
Her long sword stabbed at Aoki from all directions, and the pink blade swayed like a peony.
Aoki appeared out of thin air above Gyomei Himejima.
Gyomei Himejima was a beat slower, and by the time he reacted, it was too late.
Boom!
He was hit hard on the head, and his huge body fell with a thud, bleeding .
