Chapter 457: Pressure Brings Motivation (Update 1)

After Star-Lord and others left, Hawking's life returned to peace.

Although it was very peaceful, he was also very happy. Seeing Wanda's belly getting bigger day by day, his heart gradually became full.

So he enjoyed this peaceful day.

On this day, Hawking entered the world of Demon Slayer again.

"Oh, it's the protagonist, and there is new progress."

Above Yoshiwara Yuukoku, Hawking sat on a cloud and quietly observed the battle below.

In the world of Demon Slayer, he occasionally came here a few times during this period, mainly to secretly observe the breathing method used by the various pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, so as to better control the breathing method and improve the control of his body.

As the protagonist, Tanjiro, he naturally always paid attention.

Before, he was dealing with some not very powerful demons, so there was no special progress, but this time was a bit interesting.

Yoshiwara Yuukoku is the largest place of entertainment in the world, full of all kinds of crimes and transactions. As long as you have money, you can enjoy services beyond your imagination.

Therefore, countless wealthy and powerful people come here every day to spend a lot of money. It can be said that it is a city that never sleeps.

There are many people and eyes, and it is mainly open at night. It is the best place for ghosts to hide their identities.

In this kind of place, it is normal for people to die every day, and there will be no waves at all.

Some time ago, one of the nine pillars, the sound pillar Uzui Tengen, sent his three wives to sneak into Yoshiwara Yukaku, disguised as Yukaku girls to investigate possible ghosts. As a result, when there was about to be progress, all three wives disappeared.

So he led Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu and Inosuke to sneak in again to investigate.

In the end, it was discovered that Yoshiwara Yukaku did hide a ghost, and it was a very powerful ghost. That was the most famous courtesan here, Dakimaki, who was also the sixth of the upper strings.

And this ghost is very special, because there is another ghost in her body, that is, her brother Jifu Taro, who is stronger than her. You have to chop off the heads of both at the same time to kill them.

So both sides fell into a bitter battle.

In this battle, Tanjiro comprehended the mixed breathing method that combined the fire breathing method and the water breathing method, and opened the markings.

"It turns out that by raising the body temperature and then increasing the heart rate, you can better control the body and burst out more powerful potential."

When Tanjiro opened the markings, Hawking understood the principle at a glance.

"It's a good idea."

Tanjiro's body temperature was 39 degrees at this time, and his heart rate exceeded 200 beats. This level was naturally useless to Hawking, because his body was far beyond ordinary people.

However, he could increase the temperature, such as raising the body temperature to 100 million degrees and letting the heart rate exceed 100 million beats. As long as he could better control his body, he might be able to learn Ultra Instinct faster.

There is also mixed breathing method. The two combinations are too simple. He can mix all the existing breathing methods together to develop the body to the greatest extent.

"You have reached your limit, so you can die in less pain.

Let me tell you, even if they were pillars, I ate seven, and my brother ate fifteen, hahaha!"

After a chaotic battle, Daki stood beside her brother Jifu Taro and laughed.

Although the two were Upper Six, their strength was not as good as the top ones, but because they had to chop off two heads at the same time to be killed, it was easier to win when fighting against humans.

Except for Muzan Kibutsuji, if a demon wanted to kill another demon, they had to defeat him and put him in the sun to die. Demons could not kill each other, and everyone had the ability to heal themselves.

So in total, the pillars killed by the brother and sister were ranked high even among the Upper Six.

Now after a battle, as demons, their injuries have healed, but except for Nezuko, who was also a demon, the others were already at the end of their strength, and even the Sound Pillar was poisoned.

"That's not necessarily true!"

Facing the intact demon brother and sister, the Sound Pillar and Tanjiro did not show despair, but took out a green bean from their arms and threw it into their mouths.

In an instant, all their injuries were healed, and their body functions were restored to their peak state.

"How is this possible? What did you eat?"

Seeing that the Sound Pillar and the others had completely recovered after eating a bean each, Daki and Jifu Taro were also surprised.

They had never encountered such a situation before. When Muzan Kibutsuji came to announce this luring mission last time, he did not tell them that there was such information.

"Go!"

After eating the Senzu beans to recover, the Sound Pillar rushed up again with Tanjiro and the others.

Since he got a sack of Senzu beans from Hawking last time, the kind-hearted Tanjiro handed all the Senzu beans to the headquarters.

In view of the important role of Senzu beans, the headquarters did not directly distribute the Senzu beans to all members of the Demon Slayer Corps, but divided them into several parts.

The first part is used for research. Professionals of the Demon Slayer Corps study the Senzu beans, hoping to replicate similar products and increase the survival rate of the Demon Slayer Corps members.

The second part is provided to the strongest pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps and Tanjiro who handed in the Senzu beans. They can carry Senzu beans when they go on missions just in case. Zenitsu and Inosuke took advantage of Tanjiro.

The last part is used for those members of the Demon Slayer Corps who are seriously injured and can no longer be revived by conventional means.

Because they had never encountered upper-rank demons before, they had never used Senzu beans in front of demons. Muzan Kibutsuji naturally did not know the existence of Senzu beans and did not inform Dakimie and Gyuutarou of the relevant information.

"Gain the upper hand."

Hawking watched the battle below and found that this time Dakimie and Gyuutarou were completely at a disadvantage.

In fact, this is also normal. The fight was like that at the beginning. The main reason was that they did not know the blood demon arts and characteristics of the demon brothers and sisters, and they had to save people, which led to a disadvantage and worse and worse state.

But now, they are all in their prime, Tanjiro has made a significant breakthrough, and has also figured out the information about the demon siblings, so the fight will naturally be different.

The Sound Pillar and Tanjiro teamed up to fight the prostitute Taro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke and the three wives of the Sound Pillar fought against Daki together, and both sides have gained the upper hand.

If this continues, it won't take long for them to chop off the heads of the demon siblings at the same time.

But Hawking knew that it was not that easy.

Because he found that two more powerful demons were rushing towards this side, one of them had Shangwu engraved on his forehead, and the other had Shangsi engraved on his forehead.

"That's good, only with pressure can there be motivation, and only then can we burst out stronger potential and comprehend new moves."

Hawking touched his chin, and he was not worried about it at all.
