Kurozawa didn't rush to leave. Instead, he tried to replicate the Breathing Technique again, but the same searing pain in his chest returned. He frowned and gave up on the idea.
Then, he looked at Tanjuro Kamado with deep, meaningful eyes and said seriously, "My promise stands."
"After a while, I'll come back and teach the correct way to use the Breathing Technique to your eldest son."
Hearing these words didn't make Tanjuro Kamado happy. All he felt was a sense of threat and malice. If he could, he never wanted to see Kurozawa again.
So, Tanjuro Kamado sighed and said, "Don't worry, I didn't deceive you. The Breathing Technique I gave you is completely real."
Kurozawa smiled slightly, his expression profound. "I, Kurozawa, have always kept my word. Since you gave me the Breathing Technique, I won't be stingy with a small return." He paused, seemingly recalling something, then added, "Oh, and this uninvited guest who interrupted our conversation might have your children join the Demon Slayer Corps later. As a friendly reminder, the death rate for Demon Slayer Corps Swordsmen is over eighty percent."
"Don't let them die in vain."
You're the uninvited guest, Tanjuro Kamado ultimately didn't say that out loud.
He nodded weakly and said, "Yes, I understand."
"My family just wants to live peacefully. We won't get involved in your conflicts."
With that, Tanjuro Kamado picked up the wooden door beside him, turned, and went back inside, roughly placing the door back in the frame, unwilling to look at Kurozawa any longer.
Tanjuro Kamado knew that Kurozawa had achieved his goal and wouldn't trouble him anymore.
Kurozawa looked towards the distant horizon.
In the distance, a sliver of dawn had quietly appeared. The faint outline of the sun was vaguely visible, about to take over this part of the world.
"Although this is our first meeting, you've left a deep impression on me," the Stone Pillar's deep, muffled voice like a drum came.
Kurozawa turned his head and shook it, saying, "But in my opinion, you are quite ordinary. Even with great power, you still tie your own hands and feet like everyone else."
"When you die, I'll probably forget you quickly."
"Next time, with no ordinary people around for you to threaten, I will eliminate you." The red glow of the Stone Pillar's chains deepened, showing a profound color like lava.
He desperately wanted to use all his strength to kill Kurozawa on the spot, but the wooden house standing silently nearby reminded the Stone Pillar that he had to endure.
Kurozawa ignored the empty threat that didn't faze him, and suddenly asked, "What is the ability to completely contain all Fighting Spirit fluctuations?"
The Stone Pillar remained silent.
Kurozawa smiled and said, "Don't be so serious. Just tell me the name."
"In exchange, I'll give you a piece of important information."
The Stone Pillar was unmoved. He just clasped his hands together and softly chanted what seemed to be a scripture for calming the mind.
"Hmm, it's about the Demon King that the Demon Slayer Corps has always wanted to find, which is my partner, Hongyue's location," Kurozawa said casually, stroking his chin.
He couldn't find the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, but he could make the Demon Slayer Corps come to him.
Whether it was the feud between Hongyue and the Demon Slayer Corps, or his own relationship with them, it was time for a resolution.
Knowing about Sakonji Urokodaki's death, Kurozawa was already tired of this world.
He wanted to leave and see other worlds.
Kawarru Toki said he had to become the strongest to condense vitality and go to the next world. Kurozawa wasn't sure what the specific manifestation of condensing vitality was, but currently, he wasn't even a match for the Stone Pillar, so he probably wasn't qualified yet.
The Stone Pillar was silent for a moment, then said, "Transparent World, the highest realm of Fighting Spirit."
He spoke very simply, and Kurozawa didn't press for more information.
Under the Stone Pillar's gaze, Kurozawa slowly opened his mouth and said softly, "Asakusa. Hongyue and I will hold a wedding there."
"I hope all the Swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps can come and celebrate with us."
The Stone Pillar frowned and said, "Come and celebrate with you? Do you really think we, the Demon Slayer Corps, would agree to such a request?"
Kurozawa's expression was calm, his deep eyes like a bottomless pool, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Asakusa City, I don't know exactly how many people are inside, but there are at least several hundred thousand."
"At that time, I will summon all the Demons, seal the city, and hold the wedding."
"This final carnival between humans and Demons, are you sure the Demon Slayer Corps doesn't want to participate?"
A gentle breeze blew Kurozawa's hair, making it look like a devil baring its fangs and claws. At the same time, the Stone Pillar's pupils dilated, and his face changed dramatically.
He had just opened his mouth when Kurozawa put a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.
"Shh, think about it, think carefully. Don't rush to refuse."
The air seemed to solidify. The Stone Pillar felt his breathing become difficult. He took a deep breath before slowly saying, "What exactly do you want?"
Kurozawa's mouth split into a grin, revealing his stark white teeth. He chuckled, "I just said, I just want all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps to come and celebrate with me."
"I want a grand wedding, one that this world will never forget."
"Oh, and the Demon Slayer Corps Leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, must attend. I really want to see him in person."
The Stone Pillar's face was grim. "Threatening hundreds of thousands of lives... Kurozawa Danryu, have you forgotten that you were once human? Can you really be so indifferent to your former compatriots?"
However, Kurozawa truly was indifferent.
He said calmly, "Stone Pillar, the Demon Slayer Corps has existed for a thousand years. This organization has witnessed a thousand years of history."
"So, there's a very simple fact that we both know."
"The number of humans killed by their own kind far exceeds the total of all other deaths combined."
The Stone Pillar gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "That's different!"
"The world now is already..."
Kurozawa waved his hand, cutting him off, and said seriously, "In a month, in Asakusa, I want to see Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and all the Demon Slayer Corps Swordsmen."
Kurozawa wasn't sure of the exact number of Demon Slayer Corps Swordsmen.
However, Kurozawa didn't care if they all showed up; as long as the main force of the Demon Slayer Corps came, it would be enough.
He had already obtained the Kamado Family's Breathing Technique related to Sun Breathing, but given the current situation, it was still uncertain whether it would be useful. Kurozawa couldn't rely on this Breathing Technique, so he could only find a way to obtain those over 3,000 Potential Points.
With the people of a city, plus the Swordsmen who were proficient in Breathing Techniques, no matter what, Kurozawa was confident he could push himself to the peak.
After speaking, Kurozawa tapped his toes and left quickly like a black lightning bolt.
At the same time, a heavy cloud of gloom settled on the Stone Pillar's face. He said in a deep voice, "No matter what you're planning, the Demon Slayer Corps won't let you succeed!"
"Since ancient times, no matter how difficult the process, justice and order have always prevailed in the end!"
Not far away, Kurozawa's voice, now indistinct, drifted back with the wind.
"When I win, then I will naturally represent justice."
