Awaken the Sharingan, kill Muzan and open your Mangekyō!

"oh?"

"Have you heard of my story?"

Tomioka Giyuu asked with a little surprise.

He did create his own unique extended Water Breathing move, which is the Eleventh Form - Nagi!

But only a few swordsmen knew this, and even the other nine pillars might not know it.

Uchiha Ixia actually knew this, which surprised him a little.

"My trainer heard it from others and told me that you should be the best among all the water pillars."

Uchiha Ixia said.

This is a lie!

If Tanjiro were here, his sharp nose would definitely be able to smell it.

His trainer didn't know that Tomioka Giyuu created the eleventh form of water breathing, Nagi.

"Really?"

Tomioka Giyu's eyes moved slightly.

He did not doubt Uchiha Isha's words.

Instead, he was moved by Uchiha Isha's words, 'You should be the best one among all the Water Pillars.'

Even though he still didn't think he was worthy of the title of Water Pillar, he was still very touched to be recognized by others.

But soon, under some painful memories, this touch was quickly suppressed by Tomioka Giyu.

He, Tomioka Giyu, still didn't deserve the title of Water Pillar!

"Let's get started!"

Tomioka Giyuu drew out his blue Sun Blade and prepared to fight with Uchiha Isha.

""Okay!"

Uchiha Isha nodded.

Then he also drew out his black sun blade.

"Black Sun Blade, it seems that he has indeed changed his breathing method."

Uchiha Isha's Black Sun Blade made Tomioka Giyuu further confirm what Uchiha Isha said just now.

It cannot be said that the Black Sun Blade appears on the body of the user of Water Breathing, but it is also extremely rare.

With Uchiha Isha's powerful strength, it is even less likely to happen.

At least, Tomioka Giyuu thinks so.

It is really a pity that he is no longer a swordsman of Water Breathing even though he has the strength to defeat the Lower Rank!

"How about deciding the winner with just one move?"

"You use Water Breathing Form 11: Nagi directly, and I will use the strongest attack I can."

"This is enough to judge my strength, right?"

Uchiha Ixia said

"That's it!"

Tomioka Giyuu felt that Uchiha Isha's proposal was quite reasonable.

His own Water Breathing Eleventh Form·Nigi is a defensive move that can invalidate all spells that come within the attack range of his own Sun Blade.

This is true for both the blood demon arts of the demons and the breathing sword forms of the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen. It is most appropriate to judge whether Uchiha Isha has reached the level of a pillar-level swordsman by using his own Water Breathing Eleventh Form·Nigi to resolve Uchiha Isha's strongest attack.

"Okay, I'll go for it then."

Uchiha Isha was ready to go.

The next moment, he entered a state of full concentration and breathing, ready to launch an attack.

"Has he reached the state of full concentration breathing and constant concentration? This is indeed the threshold of a pillar-level swordsman."

"Judging from his aura, he seems to be close to the strength of a pillar."

"No, it's the Pillar!"

Feeling the change in Uchiha Isha's aura, Tomioka Giyu's calm eyes became a little more serious.

At this moment, the feeling Uchiha Isha gave him was almost the same as that of the other Pillars.

Even if there was still a slight gap, it was not much.

At least, he was stronger than when he first became the Water Pillar.

Is this definitely a newcomer who just passed the final assessment not long ago?

"Sun Breathing·Eleventh Form·Dragon of the Sun·Head Dance!"

Uchiha Ixia instantly launched a series of high-speed slashes.

Under the continuous slashes, the fire dragon formed by the flames kept flying and came towards Tomioka Giyuu with great momentum.

"Water Breathing Type 10: Life Flowing?"

This attack was very similar to the strongest attack of Water Breathing, which surprised Giyu Tomioka.

But soon, he, who was familiar with Water Breathing, recognized that this was not Water Breathing Type 10: Life Flowing.

It was also a series of dragon-shaped slashes, but the power of this attack was even stronger than Water Breathing Type 10: Life Flowing.

Is this the breathing method that Uchiha Isha has mastered at the moment... Sun Breathing?

Giyu Tomioka, who has not read the secret records of the Demon Slayer Corps, does not know the existence and significance of Sun Breathing.

The key point he understood is that Sun Breathing is powerful.

Even the five basic breathing methods and their derivative breathing methods are inferior to it.

"Water Breathing Form 11: Nagi!"

Almost the next moment after Uchiha Ixia used Sun Breathing Form 11: Sun Rhythm Dragon: Head Dance.

Tomioka Giyu also used his own Water Breathing Form 11: Nagi

"Here it comes!"

With the help of the cover of the attack, Uchiha Ixia quietly opened his Sharingan and began to copy Tomioka Giyu's Form 11·Nigi.

Soon, the Water Breathing Form 11·Nigi that belonged to Tomioka Giyu was successfully copied by him.

However, Tomioka Giyu was completely unaware of this.

At this moment, as the Form 11·Nigi was used, Tomioka Giyu instantly entered a state of tranquility.

The area around his body seemed to have turned into a calm lake, making all incoming attacks disappear like smoke.

"SA——"

Uchiha Isha's attack landed in front of Tomioka Giyu.

In a trance, sporadic ripples appeared.

It was as if a stone fell into the lake, causing tiny waves.

Under the powerful defense of Water Breathing Form 11·Nagi, Uchiha Isha's Sun Breathing Form 11·Dizzy Dragon·Touma's fierce attack was quickly resolved.

In less than a moment, it had disappeared.

Tomioka Giyu's surroundings once again returned to calm.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

However, was this attack really completely blocked?

Tomioka Giyu's hair, which slightly smelled of burnt, and his damaged haori gave a negative answer at this moment.

Tomioka Giyu blocked this attack, but he was not able to completely block it.

He was hit by Uchiha Isha's slash.

Although he was not hurt, his absolute defense was indeed broken.

This is the first time since Form 11·Nagi was created that he failed to completely block the opponent's attack.

This result made Tomioka Giyuu somewhat silent.

"You are amazing!"

After another moment of silence,

Tomioka Giyuu put the Nichirin Sword back into the scabbard and gave his own evaluation and affirmation.

It may be because he did not give it his all.

But if Uchiha Ixia did not have the strength of a pillar level, it would be impossible for him to break through his Eleventh Form: Nagi.

Since Uchiha Ixia did it, he undoubtedly has the strength of a pillar level.

Moreover, he is not an ordinary pillar level swordsman.

"This is a great recognition for me."

Uchiha Isha also put his Nichirin Sword back into the scabbard and smiled.

He didn't expect that he could break through Tomioka Giyu's Eleventh Form: Nagi.

Did Tomioka Giyu let him go?

Maybe that's the reason!

But correspondingly, his real strength at the moment has indeed reached the level of a pillar. Even if he is not a real pillar in terms of level and realm, at least he seems to have reached this level of strength.

He himself was a little surprised at this.

He could only attribute it to the improvement of his body brought by the energy of the ghost absorbed by the Sharingan.
