Chapter 131: #131 - Wind and Thunder

For several days, the Pillars temporarily put aside their tasks and, based on their own breathing techniques and profound swordsmanship skills, and with Tanjirou's description, attempted to reproduce the Hinokami Kagura.

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

“According to Tanjirou, the Hinokami Kagura has twelve dance forms. Correspondingly, when converted into breathing techniques, they become twelve sword forms. The general forms have already been restored, and we can indeed find the corresponding parts of our respective breathing techniques within these twelve sword forms, but…”

Shinobu Kochou looked at the sheets of paper with human body diagrams laid out on the table, and frowned.

“The difficulty of this breathing technique is unbelievably high. It requires inhuman levels of speed, strength, muscle and bone resilience, and balance. The five major breathing techniques are indeed derived from selecting a portion of this breathing technique as the essence and reducing the difficulty.”

Obanai Iguro said in a deep voice.

“That's right. The first few moves are still relatively normal. The founders of the five major breathing techniques were generally able to reproduce them in their own breathing techniques. For example, the Water Wheel of Water Breathing and the Water Wheel of Hinokami Kagura are almost identical in technique. The Raging Sun Halo of Flame Breathing and this Scorching Bone Sun are only different in the breathing technique itself. Some of the founders even continued to delve deeper into the relevant technical fields, making the power of their respective breathing techniques more magnificent, but these later moves…”

Tengen Uzui shook his head.

The later moves were simply impossible for humans to perform. The requirements for human physical qualities had surpassed the limit that normal humans could improve with breathing techniques, and it also required incredible control and perception of every inch of one's muscle tissue.

Most importantly, they simply couldn't learn the breathing method that Tanjirou taught.

Every time they tried, they would feel difficulty breathing, and their lungs would feel as if they were burning with fire.

No, not just burning, but more like molten iron being poured directly into their lungs.

On the contrary, Tanjirou himself, although unable to fully use the Hinokami Kagura's breathing technique, was only limited by his cardiopulmonary function not being strong enough.

He could actually use this breathing indirectly and briefly, which he supposedly realized when he was chopping wood. It was precisely because of this that he was able to chop so much wood at the age of twelve.

And before today, he himself didn't realize that he would subconsciously work according to the Hinokami Kagura's breathing method when chopping wood.

“It is indeed very difficult.”

Shimizu also failed to do it.

On the contrary, Kyoujurou Rengoku, who had returned from Kyoto Prefecture two days ago, got started the fastest.

After returning from there, Kyoujurou Rengoku became the Flame Pillar with the achievement of killing Lower Moon Two, and participated in the restoration of the original breathing technique.

Thanks to his younger brother Senjurou's discovery in the Rengoku family's literature, the Demon Slayer Corps also learned the true name of the Sun Breathing, except that the Sun Breathing recorded in the classics had thirteen forms, while the Hinokami Kagura only had twelve forms—

Shimizu certainly knew that combining these twelve forms would create the thirteenth form, but currently, apart from Kyoujurou Rengoku who could barely perform the first two forms, others couldn't even maintain the breathing method of Sun Breathing.

Before anyone masters the first twelve forms, this information is meaningless.

Could it be that one really needs to be like Tanjirou and Kyoujurou Rengoku, with red hair and red eyes, whose family has been engaged in fire-related industries for generations, to become a child of the blazing sun to learn Sun Breathing?

Probably more than that. Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Michikatsu Tsugikuni were twins. If the former was a child of the blazing sun, then the latter must also be one.

However, although no one has yet been able to learn Sun Breathing, and he has not yet figured out what conditions are required to learn Sun Breathing, he has not been without gains.

As the source of the five breathing techniques, by studying Sun Breathing, Shimizu also gained further insights into how to fuse Wind Breathing and Thunder Breathing.

In the mountains, Shimizu held a tree branch, and a whirlwind rolled up in his hand, accompanied by lightning spreading to the branch.

Chakra is more useful than breathing techniques at this time, because compared to the effects of breathing techniques, chakra is closer to a solid and is easier to manipulate and perceive.

This was mainly inspired by the avatar in the DC world after watching information about the Hinokami Kagura, and then deduced it.

“Make the wind flow at high speed, generate changes in air pressure through air friction and compression, and then introduce current for high-voltage ionization to generate high-energy and high-heat plasma, forming an ionized wind similar to solar wind.”

The whirlwind was constantly compressed, and the current mixed in it became more solid and dazzling, making a sizzling sound of electricity.

“Bang!”

The dead branch as the carrier shattered suddenly, and was instantly decomposed by the high-temperature plasma, turning into a part of the plasma.

Shimizu frowned slightly, quickly threw the plasma in his hand into the sky, and instantly flashed backwards.

“Boom!”

A deafening roar erupted, and a dancing blue sun exploded in the sky, causing people's eardrums to vibrate.

“Hey, hey, hey! What happened again! I just came back from a mission, and there's such a big commotion.”

Sanemi Shinazugawa walked towards here with his Nichirin Blade on his shoulder, exposing his strong chest.

“Sugoi, what a terrifying power.”

Muichirou Tokitou stared blankly, looking at the blue sun in the sky.

Without a mistake, first issue, first content, all in one look!

The other Pillars were also attracted by the commotion and walked over.

“Speaking of which, this is a breathing technique that has never been seen before, right? Did you create it yourself, Shimizu?”

Shinobu Kochou asked curiously while taking out a stethoscope and walking towards Shimizu.

Shimizu waved his hand to indicate no need.

Although the amount of chakra in this body has increased, it is still far from the main body. In order to maintain the plasma light sphere just now and delay its explosion time, a large amount of chakra was consumed.

“I guess so, but it's not perfect yet, otherwise there wouldn't have been a mistake.”

Shimizu shook his head.

If it had been successful just now, he might have been able to fuse Wind Release Chakra and Lightning Release Chakra to develop a new Bloodline Limit.

But although it failed, at least he saw a path. He only needs to continue to strengthen his ninjutsu skills in Wind Release and Lightning Release, and he will succeed sooner or later.

And before that, why not try to fuse Wind Breathing and Thunder Breathing, as Shinobu Kochou said, to create a new breathing technique.
