Chapter 81: Flame Pillar vs. Akaza
A figure marked with deep blue tattoos appeared, and blood-red nails came crashing down, as if they would tear Fang Bo’s face apart completely.
Akaza was annoyed by the look in this kid’s eyes. If he had to kill someone, might as well start with him.
“Not a chance!”
The Flame Pillar reacted swiftly. As soon as the enemy got close, he swung his Nichirin blade upward, unleashing roaring flames.
**Flame Breathing Second Form: Rising Scorching Sun!**
Before Akaza could retreat, two shurikens whizzed toward him, colliding in mid-air, driving one deeply into the enemy’s shoulder.
A small explosion followed, blowing a large hole in Akaza’s shoulder. Blood flowed down his arm, but before it could even hit the ground, the wound had already healed completely.
“What terrifying regeneration,” Kyojuro thought grimly, now fully aware of how troublesome his opponent was.
No wonder they had to gather so many people. Even though the fight had just begun, the Flame Pillar could already predict the outcome if it were a one-on-one battle.
Unless they could stall until dawn, his chances of victory were less than thirty percent.
“Tough opponent,” Dairen’s expression turned serious.
His two-tomoe Sharingan could see through Akaza’s movements, but keeping up with them was another matter entirely.
He didn’t need to look to know that Akaza’s agility attribute must be over 20 points. Dairen himself was nowhere near that level.
Even with powerful jutsu like the Fireball Technique, it wouldn’t matter if he couldn’t hit the target.
Dairen crouched low, pulling out a poisoned kunai, his eyes filled with determination.
If even a speed-focused ninja like him was struggling to keep up, then Fang Bo, whose movement speed wasn’t much better than an average human, stood little chance.
Besides controlling his puppet, all Fang Bo could do was fire the occasional shot from the shadows.
“To defeat him, two problems must be solved.”
“First, we need to slow Akaza down.”
“Second, we have to suppress his terrifying regeneration.”
Stopping Jorogumo from making a move, Fang Bo signaled for her to be patient.
No matter how he looked at it, the main force in this battle was the Flame Pillar, and the Insect Pillar was on her way to join them.
While the Shikigami had crowd control abilities, timing was crucial. Wasting that opportunity would be pointless.
“Dairen, we’ll support the Flame Pillar.”
“Got it.”
As the two planned, the situation between the two powerhouses had already deteriorated. Even in the face of death, the Flame Pillar would never join Muzan’s ranks.
Seeing that persuasion was useless, Akaza decided to show Kyojuro firsthand the difference in their strength.
“Understand your powerlessness. **Domain Expansion!**”
With his Blood Demon Art activated, a twelve-pointed snowflake pattern appeared beneath Akaza’s feet.
**Destructive Death: Compass Needle!**
With this technique, Akaza could sense his opponent’s fighting spirit like a compass.
For the duration of the skill, both his attack and evasion abilities would be greatly enhanced. The stronger his opponent’s fighting spirit, the faster the compass would react. It was a fighting style that grew stronger against stronger opponents.
Once he activated his Blood Demon Art, he transformed into the true Demon of Combat.
As long as his blood remained unspilled, his will would never die.
“Kill!”
Akaza unleashed his full speed, allowing no chance for the enemy to dodge.
With blade and fist clashing, Akaza’s masterful martial arts relentlessly pressed Kyojuro into a defensive stance.
“Damn it, this guy’s agility must be at least 30 points,” Dairen, a reincarnator focused on agility, judged accurately.
What does a 30+ agility attribute mean?
It meant that neither of them could participate in the fight. Even if they could sense Akaza’s movements, their bodies simply couldn’t react fast enough.
But not doing anything wasn’t an option either. At this intensity, the Flame Pillar wouldn’t last long.
If they didn’t want their ace to fall from exhaustion, they had to act.
*Bang!*
A bullet whizzed through the air, and thanks to his decent perception, Fang Bo barely anticipated Akaza’s next move.
However, the seemingly perfect shot was easily dodged, and Akaza didn’t forget to throw a scornful glance back at him.
From this alone, it was clear that Upper Moon Three wasn’t fighting at full strength—he was holding back significantly.
If Kyojuro wanted any chance of defeating Akaza, he would need to unlock both the Demon Slayer Mark and the Transparent World.
But from the current situation, it was evident the Flame Pillar hadn’t yet mastered those abilities.
Thus, being suppressed by the enemy was inevitable.
**Flame Breathing Third Form: Blazing Universe!**
A downward slash erupted with fiery wrath, but the enemy’s movements were too agile. He easily dodged the attack.
At that moment, Kyojuro suddenly retreated, his eyes flicking upward.
There, using his web to launch into the air, Dairen had already completed the necessary hand signs for a jutsu.
**Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!**
This wasn’t the flame of the breathing techniques, but pure elemental damage.
The former focused on slashing, while this aimed to burn the enemy completely, with a significant difference in temperature.
Dairen had timed it perfectly, gambling that the enemy would dodge Kyojuro’s slash. As it turned out, Akaza didn’t disappoint.
“Feel the burn, monster,” Dairen’s words finally provoked Akaza.
Proud and arrogant, Akaza decided to face the fireball head-on, determined to shatter it with his fists.
**Destructive Death: Air Type!**
His fist struck the void, creating a vacuum wave that collided with the fireball.
The first punch didn’t work, but that didn’t matter. Akaza followed with a second punch, then a third, then a fourth.
By the fifth punch, not only had the fireball dissipated, but his attack also sent Dairen flying, blood spraying in mid-air.
Akaza didn’t want anyone interfering with his fight, so he decided to kill his opponent right then and there.
He unleashed three rapid punches. If they connected, the ninja would die on the spot.
In the crucial moment, Kyojuro came to the rescue again.
Leaping into the air, he swung his blade, forming a swirling vortex of flame that blocked all of Akaza’s strikes.
**Flame Breathing Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation!**
“Kyojuro…” Akaza’s eyes were filled with admiration. He really liked this guy.
But admiration aside, Akaza couldn’t keep holding back. If Kyojuro wouldn’t surrender, then tonight, he would have to kill him.
Suddenly, Akaza sensed something and a mocking grin spread across his face.
While he had been dealing with those two, that insignificant gun-wielding human had managed to sneak up on him.
What, did this ant think he could cut off his head?
“Of course not,” Fang Bo ignored Akaza’s incoming kick and simply placed his hand on the demon’s body.
**Deterioration!**
[Target is affected by Severed Tendon Status, reducing movement speed by 80% for 10 seconds.]
The ninja’s ambush and Kyojuro’s defense had all been for this moment.
The goal was to give Fang Bo the chance to get close to the enemy.
Once his speed was crippled, they could aim for his head.
“Huh?!” Akaza’s expression changed. He realized he had underestimated his opponent.
With an 80% speed reduction, even the highest agility would turn him into a sitting duck. Ten seconds was more than enough to decide the outcome of a battle.
What’s more, Fang Bo’s attack wasn’t over yet. Though he was kicked hard and spat out blood, Jorogumo took the opportunity to spit her web, trapping the now-slowed Akaza.
Small spiders gathered and began viciously biting into the demon’s body.
[Jorogumo’s Skill, Heart-Eating Fangs, hits the target, dealing 33 points of bite damage.]
[Attack triggers Spider Mark, dealing 4 points of additional damage.]
Unfortunately, the stun effect didn’t activate, but that was expected. The real killing blow was Jorogumo’s venomous stinger.
[Jorogumo’s Poison Sting hits the target, dealing 21 points of piercing damage.]
[Target is affected by Poison, dealing 1 point of poison damage per second for 5 seconds.]
[Venom Sac Effect Activated: Target cannot recover health through regeneration.]
One strike, two strikes, three strikes…
Following Fang Bo’s strict commands, Jorogumo ignored the enemy’s retaliation, enduring Akaza’s punches while continuing to deal damage.
This was the critical moment. Fang Bo couldn’t worry about the consequences. He injected himself with a powerful adrenaline shot (**Constitution +5**), then rushed forward and placed his hand on Jorogumo’s abdomen.
“Recover!”
The 50-point life boost was transferred to the Shikigami, though it only bought her one more second.
*Bang!*
Akaza’s fist pierced through Jorogumo’s chest, triggering the space’s protection mechanism. She was forcefully sent back to the Onmyoji world and couldn’t be summoned again for the next 12 hours.
Before leaving, Jorogumo inflicted significant damage on the enemy. Most importantly, her five attacks extended the duration of the debuff to 25 seconds.
Even if a few seconds were wasted, it didn’t matter. In the next 15 seconds, Akaza would be unable to recover any health through his regeneration—plenty of time.
If they accumulated enough damage, they could potentially kill him without decapitating him.
Knowing they couldn’t waste this golden opportunity, the moment Jorogumo vanished, the Flame Pillar’s thrust attack landed successfully on the enemy.
**Flame Breathing Fifth Form: Flame Tiger!**
The blade swung out like a roaring tiger of fire, biting off Akaza’s left arm.
Blood spurted wildly, and for the first time, the arrogant expression on Akaza’s face faded, replaced with the unmistakable look of panic.
“Damn it! Today, I’ll kill every last one of you!”
As Kyojuro sheathed his sword, Akaza launched a series of fierce kicks with one leg, exploding with blinding flashes of light. Even with his Sharingan, Dairen could only see blurry streaks of light.
**Destructive Death: Leg Style – Flashing Light Cluster!**
Struck with sudden force, Rengoku Kyojuro’s body began to bleed profusely, yet he remained steadfast, refusing to retreat.
“Demon, today you will atone for the lives you’ve taken!”
**Flame Breathing: Secret Art**
At that moment, flames seemed to come alive, enveloping Kyojuro’s entire body, and his surging fighting spirit even shocked the enemy.
**Ninth Form: Rengoku!!!**
Sensing his life was on the line, Akaza stopped holding back. He gathered all his strength and unleashed his ultimate technique against the oncoming fire serpent.
**Destructive Death: Annihilation Style!!!**
