Seeing that his Moon Dragon Tail Sweep was completely blocked by Gyomei Himejima, Kokushibo admired Gyomei Himejima even more.
Gyomei Himejima took his incomparably powerful sweeping slash head-on with a human body. There probably wasn't a second person in this world who could do that.
Of course, that man was an exception, and that man was Ryuji, who relied on his demonification to catch Kokushibo's Moon Dragon Tail Sweep with his bare hands during the Infinite Train incident.
Kokushibo had never regarded Ryuji as a normal human, because the abilities that Ryuji had shown had exceeded the scope that a human could master.
Therefore, Kokushibo now regarded Ryuji as a higher species that was independent of humans and demons.
"Gyomei! You are the first demon slayer I have respect for. I admit that you are indeed very powerful, but this time you won't be lucky enough to survive like last time!" Kokushibo murmured to Gyomei Himejima.
Gyomei Himejima didn't care about Kokushibo's words. In addition to his own strength, he couldn't have survived without the help of the former Wind Pillar.
If Gyomei Himejima had been one-on-one with Kokushibo at the time, he definitely wouldn't have survived until now.
Even though Gyomei Himejima's strength had improved now and his weapons had been strengthened, Gyomei Himejima was very clear in his heart that his chances of winning were very slim if he faced Kokushibo alone.
Although it seemed that Gyomei Himejima and Kokushibo were evenly matched, in reality, it was Gyomei Himejima who was being consumed all along, not Kokushibo.
From the beginning of the attack, Gyomei Himejima hadn't touched Kokushibo at all.
Therefore, it was Gyomei Himejima who had been at a disadvantage all along.
"It seems that there is no hope of winning without that move! I originally planned to use it when dealing with Muzan Kibutsuji! But I can't control that much now!" Gyomei Himejima couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"Mark Activation!"
The next moment, Gyomei Himejima directly activated his mark.
Then, it was seen that vein-like dark brown marks appeared on Gyomei Himejima's arms and face.
Looking at the mark that appeared on Gyomei Himejima, Kokushibo suddenly remembered something, and then said, "I almost forgot that you can activate the mark, but what a pity! Your age should be over 25, right!"
"So what?" Gyomei Himejima said disapprovingly.
"Without exception, people with the mark in the past would die before the age of 25. Your mark is different from the marks of our previous group of people. Your mark isn't always revealed, so I guess that's why you can live past 25."
"However, the mystery of the mark is actually to increase one's own combat power by overdrawing the body's life."
"After you have passed 25 years old, you still choose to let the mark manifest again. I guess you must also know that letting the mark manifest again is likely to take your life!"
"So, you probably won't see tomorrow's sun!"
"It's a pity that you, who have this ultimate body, are about to leave this world!"
Kokushibo said a lot with emotion.
"This is the mission of the Pillars, the mission of being a demon slayer!" Gyomei Himejima said with a very firm attitude.
