The Hashira took action almost simultaneously.
Kanae having witnessed Shun's strength, did not attack directly but instead hid behind everyone, waiting for an opportunity.
Since they believed Shun was only capable of killing Lower Ranks and had strength comparable to a Hashira, the others were furious and launched brutal attacks.
No one expected that seeing this situation, Shun would not retreat but instead approach, charging towards their four-person siege.
"You arrogant brat, suffer death!"
The fastest among the Hashira was, of course, the Wind Hashira, Shinazugawa Sanemi, who practiced Wind Breathing.
This man always had a foul mouth and a bad temper. He shouted the fiercest and strongest words, yet in reality, he was only swinging his fist, not his sword.
He felt in his heart that Shun would suffer a crushing defeat in an instant. If he used his Nichirin Blade, it would cause serious damage to this person, so he wrapped the blade of wind generated by his gust around his fist, hoping to teach his opponent a lesson.
Of course, the gust of wind was a blade of wind with very strong cutting power. If it hit Shun, it was guaranteed that this crazy person would not be able to get out of bed for ten and a half days!
At the same time, the Stone Hashira, Himejima Gyomei, who was the strongest and most intimidating Hashira, seemed to have the same idea.
The tall man, like a rampaging armored vehicle, shook the ground in the yard as he crashed into bamboo branches.
With such a level of impact, even the Twelve Kizuki would lie dead with their bones shattered after being struck for a moment.
From the front, there was the unmatched and fearsome Stone Hashira rushing towards him, and from the side, there was the wind blade swirling around him, as the very flexible Wind Hashira swung his fist.
Facing the sudden fight that shaped a tense situation, Kanae felt that this was a very dangerous scenario; Shun would only be severely injured by both of them on the spot.
The weakest among them, Shinobu, even unconsciously let out a soft scream.
But Shun, who was at the center of this battle, could not help but laugh.
Indeed, these people were a group of poor souls with gentle hearts.
"I will bear your fate, but you must lie down for me today!"
In an instant, he opened the Gate.
This first gate was responsible for releasing the limitations of the brain to achieve 100% physical ability.
Shun building momentum, didn't even look towards the colliding Stone Hashira. He focused on the Wind Hashira, clenched his right hand, and immediately struck at the man.
This immoral punch shocked everyone. There was a wind blade swirling around Sanemi's arm.
While the other Hashira were confused, a ray of sunlight appeared between Shun's arms.
This was the sunlight energy produced by the Sun Breathing!
The successors of regular Breathing Techniques needed to withstand the power of their hands to collide with the sunlight energy to produce high temperatures.
However, they did not know that the original Breathing Technique created by the founder of Sun Breathing attached the sunlight energy produced through breathing to his blade.
For Shun, who used chakra to walk on water and climb trees every day, and even helped the pupil technique condense Susano'o, the level of energy use was too simple.
Under the gaze of all the disbelieving Hashira, the sunlight energy between Shun's arms collided with the wind blade that could cut through human flesh, and then shattered the entangled wind blade into several pieces like broken bamboo.
As the two fists collided, a sharp cracking sound echoed throughout the yard, followed by the smell of burning.
Kanae on the outer side clearly saw Sanemi flying like a kite with a broken string, and the punching hand burned red.
The most critical thing was that the sunlight energy directly entered his body, and the Breathing Technique that was originally functioning shattered and broke, causing him to fall to the ground.
In one punch, the Wind Hashira was defeated!
At the same time, Gyomei was already closing in.
The Stone Hashira, with his body at the peak of the Hashira, relied on the strong inertia from continuous running, leaning forward with his left shoulder, and colliding with his opponent.
In this case, Shun did not hide or evade; he simply took a step forward, turning to the side as if trying to topple his opponent.
Shoulder to shoulder, flesh to flesh.
The two collided with great force.
*BANG*
The muffled sound echoed like a heavy object hitting the ground, and the airwaves from the collision blew flowers and plants in the yard.
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
In this collision, the winner was not the muscular Gyomei, but the skinny Shun.
The sound of cracking bones was quite subtle, but at this moment, it was clear enough to reach the ears of the Hashira.
In an instant, everyone saw Gyomei flying like a cannonball, only stopping and falling to the ground after he crashed into a wall.
Whether it was Sanemi, who had just struggled to get up, Kanae and Shinobu outside, or Kagaya, who had witnessed all of this, they were all very shocked at this moment.
Gyomei was the strongest combat force in the entire Demon Slayer Corps, and he was also the most promising to fight and win against Muzan.
The most famous and powerful thing about him was his physique that could not be matched by anyone.
With a height of over two meters, it could be said that no one could rival him!
Yet now, under Shun's collision, Gyomei turned out to be as fragile as a piece of tissue paper!
"What kind of monster is this person!" Sanemi couldn't help but curse.
The other three in the battle circle even squinted their eyes.
The two battles between Shun against Sanemi and Gyomei had nearly finished in an instant.
No one expected that the huge advantage of five against one would be shattered in a single punch and collision.
But now the battle was nearing its end, and only three people remained, gritting their teeth at the same time and exerting all their strength in the only gap in the battle.
Kyojuro, Tengen, and Kanae swung their swords without hesitation.
After all, the previous example was right in front of them.
Rather than worrying about hurting Shun, it was better to think whether their swordsmanship could be better than the others!
"Flame Breathing Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation!"
Kyojuro shouted loudly, like a bright and upright flame.
He used a fire slash shaped like a vortex with great power. The flames were very bright and dazzling, and the orange-red fire blazed brightly.
Under such a powerful sword technique, Tengen suddenly attacked at the same time.
His attack was not as strong as the aura wrapped in fire, but the fine light from the specially crafted dual swords swung one after another suddenly lit up the front yard.
At first, the swords were like drizzle, but in an instant, they turned into a tremendous storm.
Each of Tengen's attacks exploded like sonic booms. When using dual swords, combined with the use of special explosives, they could unleash incredible power.
"Sound Breathing Fourth Form: Constant Resounding Slashes!"
The roaring slashes and the tremendous explosion of gunpowder almost echoed in the sky. Under the fire slashes, the dual swords playing the highest sound waves roared like explosions that could no longer be concealed!
Although the four of them took action one after another, they almost completed the coordinated attack between the two in the blink of an eye. The combat quality of these leading warriors allowed them to coordinate quickly.
On the other hand, Kanae also suppressed her fear of the sudden sword attack from the night sun dragon.
Nine consecutive attacks were launched from all directions, stabbing at the same point. Their trajectories resembled peony petals. Even if it couldn't be compared to the prowess of the previous two, it was still a sword technique that could not be ignored.
Their sword techniques reached a personal perfection, which finally made Shun feel a bit happy.
He personally believed that if he wanted to be a strong man, he should not leave any apparent shortcomings.
The three most fundamental points, namely 'mind,' 'body,' and 'technique,' were essential.
There was no lack in the first two, and in terms of training technique, he had indeed been quite childish before.
This was also the reason why Shun was so eager for Sun Breathing and suitable sword techniques. It was also the reason why he placed valuable roulette points on Tsukuyomi and fought Rui.
Seeing such beautiful sword techniques, Shun took the initiative to suppress his own power, drew the sword in his hand with excitement, and immediately swung the sword to block one after another.
He clearly swung his sword very late, but he attacked last, as if he was actively attacking the swords of the other three.
*CLANG* *CLANG* *CLANG*
A series of sharp swords clashed, producing a symphony of sharp sounds.
The sound of gold and iron humming loudly echoed throughout the world once again filled the entire yard.
Countless slashes triggered countless exchanges, blooming like fireworks in the sky.
As a result, everyone present witnessed a beautiful sight that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Under the desperate attacks of the three Hashira, the most ordinary sword in Shun's hand suddenly appeared with stacked cold swords one after another.
The attacks from the three of them, the blades were swung again and again, gently reflected again and again, and the sharp sound from the thin blade collisions seemed to change at every moment.
The sword in Shun's hand grew faster, and twelve types of sword techniques began to be used in his hands at will.
Initially like a glimmer of dawn, then the sun rose into the sky, shining in all directions!
"Destroy for me!" Shun suddenly shouted angrily.
In an instant, the red light flashed, and with three clear shouts, all the weapons in the hands of the three Hashira were cut in two!
The nearly desperate power caused the three of them to stop. With only half of the sword hilt remaining in their hands, the three looked towards Shun, who was slowly sheathing his sword, dazed as if they had just woken from sleep.
But no matter how they looked at it, what was in the hands of the young man was just the most common sword from a blacksmith shop on the roadside.
They were confused, but they could not say anything at this moment. They could only lower their heads in silence, feeling bewildered.
Shun was in a good mood after feeling that his sword skills had improved. After sheathing his sword, he casually walked over to Sanemi and Gyomei.
"Don't move, you two. Your bones are misaligned, and I don't care."
After saying that, Shun placed his hands on the two and released the Mystical Palm Technique with a wave of chakra.
The output of chakra from the Mystical Palm Technique could enhance the healing ability of wounds or affected areas. It was a type of healing ninjutsu and an advanced healing technique.
However, for a moment, Gyomei and Sanemi, who were confused, realized that something was wrong.
Their injuries...
"Heal?"
"Will this heal just like that?"
Both expressed doubts at the same time. Gyomei and Sanemi touched the injured areas and felt no pain. Sanemi punched his fist in disbelief and jumped twice.
As a doctor, Shinobu involuntarily opened her mouth a little upon seeing this, as if she could fit an egg in it.
She could understand the previous competition, but what was happening now?
Weren't those injuries supposed to be treated with medicine, bandaged, and then rested for one or two months?
Is this good?
This man was like a fog that made people curious and eager to explore!
Shinobu's eyes reflected the face of the young man. After staring at him for a long time, she suddenly decided in her heart that she must understand his medical skills!
"Ubayashiki-dono, what do you think about my previous proposal?"
Shun did not look at the Hashira again but turned to the only one who could make decisions, Ubayashiki Kagaya.
Not only did Kagaya not frown in disappointment, but instead, he looked at Shun with a fanaticism he had never seen before.
After a moment, a voice like a spring breeze slowly spoke.
"Takema-kun... perhaps it is indeed the will of God for you to inherit Sun Breathing."
"It seems I have seen the emergence of another Yoriichi Tsukiguni."
Kagaya suddenly smiled very happily.
"Whether it is a Breathing Technique or other requirements, just ask!"
"Takema-kun, all members of our Demon Slayer Corps will cooperate with all your requests and actions."
"Then, today's meeting ends here. Kanae, you will be the one to receive Takema-kun in the coming days."
After saying that, Kagaya slowly stood up and bowed his head.
"Please do everything from now on, Takema-kun!"
"Please, Takema-sama!"
This time, all the Hashira bowed their heads.
