Demon Slayer: The Forest Pillar

"Forest Breathing focuses on listening to the sounds of nature, connecting every blood vessel and every muscle in your body with nature, and fighting with the majestic vitality behind the breathing method." In the bamboo forest, old man Morimu held a wooden sword and explained to Shinichi.

"There are eleven types of Forest Breathing, created by our Morimu family ancestor Morimu Shunichi. Except for the final type that only exists in the records, the other ten types of swordsmanship are all extremely powerful. However, we descendants are dull, and even the most outstanding Morimu children can only comprehend the first eight types."

Shinichi frowned slightly when he heard this, "What about you, old man?"

At this point, a trace of loneliness and sadness flashed across old man Morimu's face, "My comprehension is also poor, and I can only comprehend seven types of swordsmanship."

"What? Even you, old man, can only use seven sword moves?" Shinichi was really a little shocked. He knew the old man's strength very well. If it weren't for his old age and physical weakness, the strength of old man Morimu would not be lower than that of the windlass.

Old man Morimu smiled and shook his head, "Some things are destined, Shinichi, you are different from us. I believe you are the one who can really carry forward the breath of the forest. Now, I will show you the first seven forms."

As soon as the voice fell, old man Morimu took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Buzz! !

The invisible air wave blew the fallen bamboo leaves on the ground. In Shinichi's scarlet eyes, he could sense that a large amount of majestic vitality was rapidly gathering towards the body of old man Morimu.

Strips of shriveled muscles and old blood vessels, majestic vitality washed over the body of old man Morimu, the muscles became full again, and the blood vessels became round again. In just a moment, the originally hunched body of old man Morimu gradually stood up.

The pale hair moved without wind, and a touch of green light flashed in the somewhat turbid eyes.

He stepped forward with his right foot, bent his body, and made a standard sword-drawing and slashing posture. Shinichi, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt a strong fighting spirit, and the sound of metal clashing seemed to ring in his ears.

"Mori no Breathing·First Form·Iron Birch Slash!" Old Man Mori shouted, and the wooden sword instantly slashed horizontally, hum!! The blade was wrapped in green light, and in a trance, the green blade light was wrapped with an indestructible momentum like a tidal wave.

Crack, crack, crack! Wherever the blade light went, countless green bamboos were broken! (The following contains the author's annotation)

[First Form·Iron Birch Slash, an instant horizontal slash infused with vitality, wrapped in the breath of the world's hardest tree, the iron birch, indestructible, unstoppable! 】

Before Shinichi could react, old man Morimu flashed and appeared in front of a rather thick green bamboo, and stabbed out with a wooden sword, "Breath of the Forest·Type II·Willow of Vitality!"

Puff, puff! Many illusory green branches suddenly emerged from the thick green bamboo where the wooden sword was cut, swaying gently like willow branches. At a certain moment, the green bamboo instantly lost its color as if it had withered, and then revived again at a certain moment, regaining vitality!

[Type II·Willow of Vitality, communicates with the power of nature, uses vitality as a guide, and stabs the blade containing vitality into the body. For the enemy, it will be a nightmare of absorbing vitality, and for comrades, it will be a powerful aid to help comrades! 】

Swish! The blade flashed, and Mr. Morimu rushed out like a sharp sword, "Mori's Breath·Type 3·Thorn Thorn!"

The brown wooden sword instantly turned into a green light, and pierced into a huge rock in an instant. Stone chips flew, smoke and dust dissipated, and the ordinary wooden sword had been deeply pierced into the rock, leaving only the handle.

[Type 3·Thorn Thorn, the blade pierces straight, and the attack is pierced at an extremely fast speed, like a thorn spike, extremely sharp, and the modified type·Thorn Thorn·Wrap, multiple stabs around the enemy at an extremely fast speed, making the enemy seem to be surrounded by countless thorns! ]

Pulling out the wooden sword from the rock, Mr. Morimu closed his eyes slightly and swung a slash, but the force was not strong, and the surrounding green bamboo was shaken and shook, and countless bamboo leaves fell.

I saw that Master Morimu stepped hard on the ground, and the whole person actually flew up nearly ten meters high, and a green light flashed, "Mori no Breathing·Fourth Form·Dandelion Dance!"

In the air, Master Morimu's body was like a dandelion dancing in the wind. Although it was gentle, it left dozens of afterimages. When Master Morimu fell, there was not a single bamboo leaf on his body!

[Fourth Form·Dandelion Dance, the body swayed like a dandelion, dodging the enemy's powerful attack with incredible posture and speed! 】

This is not over yet! Master Morimu suddenly jumped up, holding the wooden sword with one hand, the blade tilted upward, the tip of the knife against the ground, and instantly raised it diagonally! "Mori no Breathing·Five Form·Cangzhu Breaking the Air!" The green slashingThe strike actually went up and cut off countless bamboo branches from high places.

[Type 5: Bamboo Breaks the Air, a volley strike from bottom to top, standing like a bamboo growing in the air! ]

After slashing out with a knife, Grandpa Senmu turned the wooden sword around, held the sword with both hands, bent his thighs, and stood firmly like a horse stance, "Breath of the Forest: Type 6: Strong Grass: Wind Hurricane Strike!"

Swish, swish, swish, swish! Countless green slashes spread wildly around Grandpa Senmu like a hurricane, and the entire bamboo forest was like a hurricane with knife light blowing, countless green bamboos were shattered and broken, and Grandpa Senmu's body was like the tough grass in the hurricane, seemingly swaying, but not moving at all.

[Type 6: Strong Grass: Wind Hurricane Strike, countless hurricane-like slashes swung around with himself as the center, as strong as strong grass! 】

After using the six types of swordsmanship in succession, Mr. Morimu panted slightly, and the wooden sword in his hand also had many cracks.

After a moment, Mr. Morimu raised the wooden sword to the front, holding it tightly with both hands, and wow! A dazzling green light that was almost visible to the naked eye suddenly burst out from the wooden sword.

"Breath of the Forest·Seventh Type·Wooden Dragon Sky Flying·Slash!" As Mr. Morimu's voice fell, he leaped into the air and slashed. The endless dazzling green light seemed to really transform into a roaring forest dragon with claws and fangs.

Boom! ! After a deafening roar, countless smoke and dust were stirred.

Shinichi stared at the front, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated. What appeared in front of Shinichi was a deep trench.

[Seventh Form·Wooden Dragon Sky-Soaring·Slash, a full-strength attack, the strongest attack from the legendary dragon transformed by the sword light, Modified Form·Wooden Dragon Sky-Soaring·Flash, Wooden Dragon Sky-Soaring·Rising Dragon! ]

Crack! The wooden sword in the hands of Mr. Morimu finally couldn't hold on any longer and broke into a pile of fragments. Mr. Morimu panted and looked at Shinichi, "This is the Breath of the Forest, kid, are you ready?"
