"However, I hate uncontrollable variables, and a threat like you must be eliminated!"
He was truly traumatized by Ryosuke's attack and was determined not to give him any more chances.
The doll quickly took shape and simultaneously raised its folding fan along with the main body of Doma.
Blood Demon Art: Winter Ice Pillars!
Countless icicles appeared out of nowhere and crashed down like a sudden rainstorm!
Ryosuke gritted his teeth, mustered his last bit of strength, and rolled to the side to dodge.
Thunder Breathing - Second Form - Rice Spirit - Madness!
Fifteen lightning strikes erupted upwards, shattering most of the falling ice pillars.
At the same time, lightning flashed beneath his feet, shattering the puppet in a flash, and he charged forward to Doma once more!
Thunder Breathing, Third Form: Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder, Thousand Streams!
A violent net of lightning exploded!
Doma nimbly dodged, his golden fan slicing through Ryosuke's chest!
Ryosuke coughed up blood again and fell heavily to the ground.
As the cold penetrated deeper into the body, the body began to stiffen and become numb.
Doma looked at the heavily injured Ryosuke, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"Why? They've already reached their limit, why are they still struggling? Human stubbornness is truly incomprehensible..."
He raised his hand and aimed it at Ryosuke's head, a deadly aura beginning to gather.
However, Ryosuke was not frightened but laughed.
At that moment, a ray of golden light suddenly pierced the horizon, illuminating Ryosuke's blood-stained face.
Immediately afterwards, more and more light emerged, dispelling the darkness and splashing across the ravaged battlefield!
"what?!"
Doma suddenly looked towards the rising sun in the east!
He understood instantly!
This place has an open terrain and faces due east!
Ryosuke's incredible speed earlier was what dragged them to this area.
Those two sword techniques were designed to destroy all the buildings blocking the sunlight!
This demon hunter was calculating the time from the very beginning!
He longed for victory, but he also kept a backup plan!
Doma, unable to spare any time to kill Ryosuke, quickly fled to the nearest shadowy corner.
Ryosuke looked at Doma and gave him a smug smile.
He stretched out his hand and gave the other person the middle finger.
"Doma..."
Ryosuke's voice was hoarse and filled with murderous intent: "Next time we meet, I'll chop off your dog's head!"
Chapter 85 I haven't eaten the hagi mochi you bought yet!
Ryosuke's internationally friendly gestures and arrogant words made Doma feel a little flutter for the first time.
He felt neither shame nor anger, but rather a deep sense of resentment!
I almost killed him!
As Upper Moon Two, Doma's strength is beyond doubt.
He had long since become accustomed to viewing the dying struggles of Pillar-level swordsmen as mere entertainment.
But today, he was not only verbally humiliated by the ghost hunter in front of him, but he was also played by him from beginning to end, and almost lost his life!
This feeling of being out of control and falling short was unbearable for him.
Doma stared intently at Ryosuke, who was bathed in the morning light, his right hand gripping the wooden post unconsciously tightening.
The wooden stake was mostly broken, and sawdust fell in a flurry.
The morning sun was shining brighter and brighter. If he stayed any longer and waited for reinforcements from the Demon Slayer Corps to arrive, he would surely die!
Doma let out a low chuckle.
There was no warmth left in that smile.
"I remember you."
Before he finished speaking, Doma's figure disappeared completely into the darkness.
As Doma left, Ryosuke's last breath deflated, and he coughed up a large amount of blood.
He struggled to breathe, feeling as if countless ice spikes were piercing his lungs, making him feel both cold and painful.
It feels like my body has been hollowed out...
Having learned from its previous experience, the hummingbird is very knowledgeable.
It didn't linger long and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Ryosuke felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and just as he was about to lose consciousness, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar.
A thin figure staggered up to him.
"Hey! You jerk! Are you...are you still alive?"
Sanemi was terrified when he saw Ryosuke covered in blood and barely breathing.
He was flustered and overwhelmed around Ryosuke.
Sanemi didn't understand medical principles; he had only ever seen his mother bandage his wounds.
But those were all superficial injuries; Ryosuke is now covered in blood, which is a terrible sight.
After a moment, Sanemi gritted his teeth and imitated his mother's actions as he remembered them.
"Ouch—be gentle!"
The intense pain brought Ryosuke back to his senses: "Even if I'm not killed by Doma, you're going to take me away!"
Sanemi's hand suddenly stiffened, and his movements slowed down considerably.
He remained silent with a tense expression, focusing intently on clumsily bandaging what he considered to be a pointless task.
After a long while, until Ryosuke was wrapped up like a clumsy mummy, Sanemi finally spoke in a low voice with his head down.
"I never knew you were so amazing."
Ryosuke wanted to laugh but the pain aggravated his wound, so he could only gasp for breath and say it.
"What? You don't see me as a bad guy anymore?"
Sanemi shook his head, still not looking up at him.
Having experienced everything that happened last night, I witnessed those inhuman monsters and saw Ryosuke fight to the death to protect them.
Sanemi's hardened defenses had long since crumbled.
He knew about the recent changes in Jingqiao District: the sudden increase in patrol officers, the government's increased attention, the bustling night market, and even how he and his mother had managed to escape by sheer luck.
It's all because of this seemingly carefree man who's protecting them.
Ryosuke took a breath and smiled.
"You should be contacted by members of the Demon Slayer Corps during this time. If you miss me, come to the Butterfly Mansion of the Demon Slayer Corps to find me."
Sanemi glared at him and turned her face away.
"Who would miss you! Don't flatter yourself!"
Ryosuke smiled but didn't reply.
Exhaustion and injuries surged back like a tide, and darkness completely filled his vision, causing him to lose consciousness.
"Hey! Hey! Ryosuke Yasui?!"
Sanemi panicked and kept shaking Ryosuke's body.
"Don't die! You bastard! Wake up!"
"Mom and Xuanmi are waiting for you to come eat!"
"I haven't even had my hands on the hagi mochi and matcha you bought yet! Hey!"
After an unknown amount of time, Ryosuke's consciousness gradually resurfaced.
The first thing that catches his eye is a rat with a body full of muscles, just an inch away from him!
Ryosuke was startled.
When the mouse saw that he was awake, it darted out the window and disappeared.
Ryosuke took a few breaths before realizing that it was Uzui Tengen's ninja rat.
At that moment, the door to the ward was opened.
The first to rush in was Yu Sui Tian Yuan.
Following behind him were Pear Blossom and the Butterfly Sisters, who looked concerned.
"Ryosuke-nii!"
Just as Rika saw that he was awake, she was about to rush over when she was pulled back by Shinobu Kocho.
“Mr. Ryosuke has not recovered yet, and the coldness in his body has not been completely dispelled. He is very weak right now and cannot withstand your abuse.”
Pear Blossom pouted and stood by the bed, too afraid to move.
Kanae stepped forward, her worry clearly visible in her eyes.
"Mr. Ryosuke, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
