I started with Emperor Armor and conquered Infinity.

Chapter 100 Kyojuro Rengoku and Gyomei Himejima

Through long-term practice and real-world simulations, Zenitsu gradually mastered the essence of the First Form, enabling him to unleash tremendous power in an instant.

Inosuke is skilled at fighting with two swords, but his swordsmanship lacks systematic training.

Lin Yao will start by teaching him basic sword techniques, correcting his posture and movements to make his attacks more accurate and powerful.

At the same time, Lin Yao will teach some advanced swordsmanship techniques, such as sword rotation and swing angles, to make Inosuke's swordsmanship more diverse.

During training, Lin Yao would also arrange for Inosuke to spar with other team members, allowing him to continuously improve his swordsmanship in actual combat.

The six boys have made significant progress in their skills, but I'm worried they might become too arrogant.

Therefore, Lin Yao had the six little ones spar with Xingminghe of Beiming Island and Xingju Lang of Rengoku so that they could broaden their horizons.

……

On a wide-open meadow, sunlight streamed down, and dust motes floated gently in the air.

"Flame Pillar, you have made great progress recently. Now that we have some time, let's have a match and let Yao-jun and the lord see our progress."

The towering figure of Himejima Gyomei was like a steady and imposing mountain peak, silently gazing at Rengoku Kyojuro not far away, his voice calm and powerful.

"Stone Pillar, it is my honor to fight you. This battle will be perfect for testing our progress."

Rengoku Kyojuro laughed heartily, his eyes blazing with fierce fighting spirit.

The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere instantly became so tense that it seemed to freeze.

"Breath of Rock - Type One - Serpentine - Bipolar".

Gyoumei Himejima gripped his heavy staff tightly with both hands, his aura rising like a surging wave.

They simultaneously threw a meteor hammer and a hand axe, launching a pincer attack on Kyojuro Rengoku.

In the original timeline, during the battle against Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, in the Infinity Castle, he used this move when he teamed up with the Wind Pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa, to attack.

"Breath of Flame, First Form: Shiranui".

Kyojuro Rengoku gripped the Nichirin Blade tightly, his Flame Breathing subtly circulating, and the blade faintly shimmered with the power of chakra.

Charge forward at high speed with the momentum of a burst of flames, and slash at the target after getting close.

This move is extremely fast, as swift as flame, and can strike the enemy unexpectedly.

"Clang."

The blade clashed with the tin staff with a loud bang, sparks flying everywhere.

Both sides' weapons were imbued with chakra, and the clash between the rock and fire attributes resulted in neither side being able to gain the upper hand.

Burns on touch.

"Breath of Rock, Second Form, Sky Shattered".

Beiming Island throws his meteor hammer down from a height, accelerating the attack by stepping on the chains, thus increasing the power of the meteor hammer as it strikes the enemy's head.

"Breath of Flame, Second Form: Rising Flame".

Kyojuro Rengoku unleashed a fiery arc-shaped slash from below.

This move once severed the arm of Upper Moon Three Akaza, demonstrating its powerful cutting and attack capabilities.

With a crushing force, the demon King Kyōjurō of Himejima swung his staff, creating a violent gust of wind, and slammed it down upon Kyojurō Rengoku.

Undeterred, Rengoku Kyojuro dodged to the side and simultaneously swung his sword upwards, swiftly slashing at Himejima Gyomei.

The two fought fiercely, exchanging blows with incredibly sharp and deadly moves.

The other Pillars watched the battle with great interest, while Tanjiro Kamado and the others suppressed the slight arrogance that had arisen from their own strength.

They realized they were still far behind, so they watched attentively.

"Breath of Rock, Form Three, Skin of Rock Body".

After sensing Kyojuro Rengoku's defensive strength, Gyomei Himejima switched from offense to defense.

He continuously swings his meteor hammer around himself for defense and attack. In the original timeline, he used this move to block Muzan Kibutsuji's Blood Demon Art "Black Blood Thorn".

"Breath of Flame, Fifth Form: Flame Tiger".

Kyojuro Rengoku noticed Gyomei Himejima's underlying intentions and cooperated accordingly.

He lunged forward, unleashing a massive slash like a burning tiger.

This move is extremely powerful; it was used to neutralize Akaza's "Destruction Kill: Chaos Style," and it is one of Rengoku Kyojuro's most powerful attack techniques.

The attacks of the Sorrowful Island Xingming were fierce and domineering, each strike seemingly capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

Kyojuro Rengoku, with his agile movements and fiery, powerful Flame Breathing, launched a series of counterattacks.

……

Watching Lin Yao effortlessly slay evil spirits with a flick of his finger, the six little ones following behind him looked on with longing.

Is this the power that the Demon Slayer Corps members are rumored to possess, the power that can change the world?

"Yo-kun's strength always amazes me, especially the fact that he can kill the power inside the demon without using the Nichirin Blade. It's unbelievable."

Kyojuro Rengoku gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, watching the scene unfold in the distance.

Even though I knew it early on, I still find it unbelievable every time I see it.

"I feel the same way."

The usually calm Giyu Tomioka's eyes flickered with emotion as he agreed with Kyojuro Rengoku's assessment.

"However, after watching for so long, I think it's possible that Yao-jun used his control over the energy in his body and the special nature of using great energy to erase the traces of Muzan's ability among the demons and kill him directly."

Perhaps if we cultivate the energy system that Yao-kun passed on to us to a certain level, we can also try to achieve this. I think by then, Muzan will no longer exist.

"That energy called chakra, internal force, or perhaps battle aura?!"

After hearing Giyu Tomioka's analysis, Kyojuro Rengoku thought for a moment and showed a look of deep agreement on his face.

"The three directions of power that Yao Jun taught us are no less significant than those of the predecessors who created the breathing techniques."

"Senior Genichi Tsugikuni?"

Hearing the two's discussion, Tanjiro Kamado unconsciously thought of the story Lin Yao had told him about the strongest swordsman from a thousand years ago.

She couldn't help but raise her hand to stroke the sun-shaped earrings on her ear, thinking to herself about the family's heritage and the symbol of power.

I must work harder to emulate the power of my predecessors that can improve the lives of many.

Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, night had fallen at the Demon Slayer Corps' base.

Since the battle between Kyojuro Rengoku and Gyomei Himejima, more people have come to understand the power of the chakra system, and the entire Demon Slayer Corps is filled with a lively atmosphere.

Even at night, many members of the Demon Slayer Corps who have inherited the tradition are still training.

After all, training in chakra can genuinely improve their breathing techniques and overall strength.

If you practice in this way, the time spent on breathing techniques will be shorter for some people with average aptitude, but all things considered, it is actually worthwhile.
