However, despite this, Gyutaro still didn't completely dodge Tomioka Giyu's strike, and the left side of his chest was directly sliced open!
The previous second, Gyutaro hadn't paid attention to this 'minor injury'.
But the next second, his pupils constricted sharply, as he discovered that his injury couldn't heal instantly.
Just as Gyutaro was about to turn to face Tomioka Giyu's next attack, he found that Tomioka Giyu behind him had already vanished!
"What?! What is this brat's objective?!"
Unfortunately, by the time Gyutaro noticed, it was already too late.
Tomioka Giyu's speed was incredibly fast; in a few blinks of an eye, he wielded his Water Dragon and arrived in front of Daki!
Although Daki tried her best to control her sashes to prevent Tomioka Giyu from approaching,
her sashes were no different from tofu blocks in front of Tomioka Giyu's Water Dragon.
"Onii-chan!! (Brother)"
In a moment of crisis, Daki subconsciously called out for her brother to save her, but no sooner had the words left her mouth than the world in her eyes began to spin wildly.
That's right, her head had already been severed by Tomioka Giyu!
And that wasn't all; Tomioka Giyu quickly retracted his blade, then unleashed several more strikes, all landing on Daki's body, instantly chopping her into pieces!
After doing all this, the Red Blade slowly faded, and Tomioka Giyu said calmly, "Hehe, are you behaving now?"
Although Daki's attacks couldn't harm Tomioka Giyu, they were very annoying.
The upcoming battle would become increasingly difficult, and he didn't want to continue being Divided Soul dealing with Daki.
After all, his stamina and condition would deteriorate over time, but Gyutaro, as a demon, would not.
"You bastard, don't you dare cut my sister!"
Tomioka Giyu was already prepared for Gyutaro, who was rushing over. He also knew that the wounds left by the Red Blade wouldn't delay him for long.
"Water Breathing, Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin!"
Bang ————
Tomioka Giyu immediately moved away from Gyutaro, using the recoil from this strike.
Retreating several meters, Tomioka Giyu finally stopped, clasped his numb right hand, and murmured, "Although I guessed right, its power is still considerable..."
The reason he dared to use the Eighth Form, which was half-offense and half-defense, was entirely due to Gyutaro's hasty attack.
"Brother!! Why? Why can't I recover?! Wuwuwu — —"
"Calm down! It's not that you can't heal, it's just slower!" Gyutaro said, controlling several Blood Blades, all shooting towards Giyu.
"Anyone who bullies my sister must die! After all, I am the debt collector!"
"Blood Demon Art: Splatter Sickle!"
From a distance, Tomioka Giyu, hearing Daki's crying, really wanted to ask, whose kettle was boiling?
Ding ding ding ————
Facing Gyutaro's move, Tomioka Giyu was not flustered at all, because he already had experience.
As soon as the Blood Blades got close, he used the softness of Water to repel all of them.
"Blood Demon Art: Rotating Circular Slash: Splatter Sickle!!"
Looking up, Tomioka Giyu's heart trembled, "Its power has increased again?!"
Without time to think, Tomioka Giyu quickly took a stance.
"Water Breathing, Eleventh Form: Dead Calm"
The next second, tearing sounds continuously came, and Tomioka Giyu intently watched the two massive swirling slashes in the air.
Fortunately, Tomioka Giyu ultimately endured it, preventing the swirling slashes from getting close to him.
But suddenly, a chill inexplicably ran down his back. Tomioka Giyu didn't even think, immediately diving forward.
But it was still too late; the pain from his back made Tomioka Giyu realize that he was still injured.
"Hahahaha, I finally caught you, you stinking brat!"
Listening to Gyutaro's unpleasant voice, Tomioka Giyu's face also looked grim.
However, he still got up immediately, wary of Gyutaro's sudden attack.
"Not talking?" Gyutaro grinned, then scratched his face, completely devoid of his previous agitated demeanor.
"Judging by your expression, you seem to know that my scythe has poison on it."
"Well, it doesn't matter You're going to die soon anyway"
Saying this, Gyutaro slowly walked towards Tomioka Giyu, continuing to utter mocking words.
"Hehehe! The poison is about to take effect, isn't it? How unsightly, your appearance is truly unsightly!"
"Keep going, you trash, keep picking up your blade and cutting my neck? What? Can't even move?"
"Hahaha, how unsightly, truly useless!"
Tomioka Giyu stood expressionlessly, completely immune to Gyutaro's trash talk.
He was estimating the time in his mind; the sun should rise in an hour, and this was an open area, which could be completely illuminated in an instant.
Tomioka Giyu took a deep breath. Although he was mentally prepared for being poisoned, he still felt a bit unwilling after actually being scratched by Gyutaro.
He had only used Eleventh Form a few times in total, fearing that his weakness would be exploited, but he didn't expect to be caught in the end.
"I must fight with all my might now; I can't hold anything back any longer!"
There was no other way; rather than using his breathing to suppress the poison's onset, it was better to give his all for an hour.
The current situation was not optimistic; Daki would recover in a little while, and fighting two opponents then would be even harder.
If he were to be Divided Soul and divided his strength to control the poison's onset, he would likely suffer more severe injuries, so it was better to go all out and fight.
He didn't believe he couldn't last even an hour!
"Water Breathing, Third Form: Flowing Dance!"
Gyutaro's lips curved into an uncontrollable smile, and he immediately charged towards Tomioka Giyu.
"Haha! That's it, struggle desperately in your death throes!"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang ——————
After the human and demon exchanged several close-quarters blows, Tomioka Giyu gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Gyutaro's close-range attack patterns constantly changed, causing Tomioka Giyu to be unable to adapt.
Coupled with the toxins circulating in his body, it was only natural for Tomioka Giyu to fall into a disadvantage.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Your speed has slowed down, come on, or else my scythe will cut you into pieces, you know!"
Bang ————
Another heavy blow, forcing Tomioka Giyu back several meters, which also caused Tomioka Giyu's steps to falter slightly.
And Gyutaro's keen senses were best at capturing those subtle changes!
"Ha ♦ I've got you! Splatter Sickle, turn!"
Tomioka Giyu's heart sank instantly. At this distance, he no longer had time to use Eleventh Form, so he could only gamble!
In a flash of thought, Tomioka Giyu widened his stance, and his blade rotated horizontally.
"Sixth Form: Whirlpool!"
What Tomioka Giyu wanted to do this time was not to repel the Splatter Sickles, but to integrate them into the Water flow!
"What?!" Gyutaro was somewhat surprised to find that he couldn't control his Splatter Sickles.
But this was not enough to make him panic; his arms suddenly erupted, and swirling slashes instantly burst forth!
