"Hmm? No, no, no! What's with the marks on this brat's face? I remember he didn't have them before!"
"Is this the swordsman's [Mark] that Lord Kokushibo mentioned? That brat Tanjiro also seems to have one on his forehead. The swordsman who killed that lord also had this [Mark]."
"I see, so he broke through my Blood Prison Pot by overdrawing his life!"
"No, no, no, even so, this brat was hit by my venomous spine attack. Logically speaking, his body should already be paralyzed."
"Why was his attack faster than before just now?"
Gyokko, who had poked his head out again, couldn't help but be filled with a pile of doubts in his heart. It could be said that these were situations that he had never encountered before.
The Pillars that Gyokko and the other Upper Moon demons had killed were all Pillars who hadn't activated, or rather, couldn't activate the [Mark]. So, this led the Upper Moon demons to believe that the Pillars' strength wasn't enough to threaten them.
Not long after Gyokko poked his head out again, Muichiro Tokito said with extreme grief and indignation, "You will die tonight! I will offer your head as a sacrifice to Kotetsu!"
After speaking, Muichiro Tokito rushed towards Gyokko again.
Gyokko didn't dare to be negligent either. He immediately pointed the mouth of a pot in his hand towards Muichiro Tokito, who was rushing over. This time, the mouth of the pot didn't shoot out sharp flying fish. Instead, a large number of octopus tentacles grew out.
Those tentacles were like vines, immediately wrapping around Muichiro Tokito.
At the same time, the wooden house was suddenly squeezed open by these thick and huge octopus tentacles.
Looking from outside the wooden house, it was as if a huge octopus monster had appeared in the room.
Haganezuka, who was concentrating on sharpening his sword, was also knocked out of the wooden house by these huge octopus tentacles. This finally forced Haganezuka to stop sharpening his sword.
However, Haganezuka still didn't intend to stop. At the moment he was knocked out, he grabbed the whetstone in his hand. Then, he landed and rolled to stabilize his body. He immediately put the whetstone on the ground again and continued to sharpen his sword intently.
"He's still sharpening his sword. Doesn't this guy have a problem with his brain? I'll deal with that Pillar first! Since you're sharpening your sword so intently, I'm not afraid you'll run away!" Gyokko saw that Haganezuka, even after being knocked out by the octopus tentacles, still didn't forget to continue sharpening his sword. He had already chosen to accept it helplessly in his heart.
Muichiro Tokito and Kanamori were tightly entangled and squeezed by the octopus tentacles.
The one who couldn't stand it the most was naturally Kanamori. Being squeezed by the huge pressure, Kanamori directly wailed in pain.
It could be said that if they didn't escape, it was estimated that not only would Kanamori's bones be broken, but even his internal organs would be squeezed out of his mouth like toothpaste.
"Your attack just now was too shoddy! This time, I will completely crush you and then absorb you!" Gyokko began to increase the force of the octopus tentacles' squeeze, intending to directly squeeze Muichiro Tokito and Kanamori into minced meat.
"Mist Breathing, Second Form: Eight-Layered Mist!"
Muichiro Tokito, who was being squeezed by the octopus tentacles, still relied on his own powerful strength to force out [Eight-Layered Mist] while withstanding the huge squeezing force.
Muichiro Tokito instantly cut off the octopus tentacles that were entangling him and Kanamori.
"How is that possible!" Gyokko was shocked when he saw this.
