"Speak! Why don't you answer me? What are your intentions?! I'm your brother! Why did you lie to me and others in the first place, saying that those who activate the mark wouldn't live past 25? Why are you still alive and well?!" Kokushibo questioned his younger brother Yoriichi Tsugikuni with extreme dissatisfaction in his heart.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni sighed deeply, and then said, "I didn't lie to you, because my being able to survive was also an accident. Everyone else died!"
"An accident?! Everyone, except you didn't die, and you say it's an accident?!" Kokushibo sarcastically said, not believing it at all.
"That's indeed the case. In theory, the mark is indeed overdrawing life! And I just happened to cultivate Sun Breathing to the extreme before the age of 25, and comprehended the true mystery of breathing. That may be the reason why I can survive! But the mark is still a superpower that overdraws life. This can't be changed. As long as it's used, it will overdraw vitality!" Yoriichi Tsugikuni continued to explain.
"Are you saying that you think all of us can't do what you can? So you're so sure that people who activate the mark won't live past 25?! You're such a disgusting guy!" Kokushibo said with extreme disgust.
In Kokushibo's view, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's explanation was telling him that you trash can't be like me, so after the mark manifests, all of you won't live past 25. Only a genius like me can be an exception!
Of course, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's original intention was definitely not like this. Just from the fact that he could share his created Sun Breathing, it could be seen that he wasn't a selfish person, but a person full of great love.
So Yoriichi Tsugikuni didn't know at the time that cultivating breathing to the extreme and truly comprehending the mystery of breathing could greatly weaken the mark's impact on the body.
This was something that he later confirmed on himself. This was also why Yoriichi Tsugikuni said that his being able to survive was an accident.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni didn't explain anything further. Instead, he said silently, "Brother, it's time to settle things! I'm happy to see you before I die!"
After speaking, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's figure suddenly moved. His speed was so fast that even Kokushibo couldn't react. Yoriichi Tsugikuni almost teleported to Kokushibo's front, and then swung his sword and slashed towards Kokushibo's neck.
However, just as the Nichirin sword in Yoriichi Tsugikuni's hand touched Kokushibo's neck, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's movement suddenly stopped.
Kokushibo had already been frightened by Yoriichi Tsugikuni's sudden killing move. He didn't expect that Yoriichi Tsugikuni could still have such combat power at such an old age.
Although Kokushibo didn't know why Yoriichi Tsugikuni suddenly stopped, Kokushibo knew that Yoriichi Tsugikuni's attack just now could definitely cut off his neck.
"Damn it! Is he showing off that even in his old age, he still has the strength to crush me?" Kokushibo immediately distanced himself from Yoriichi Tsugikuni, and cursed loudly in his heart with extreme displeasure.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni still maintained the posture he had when he drew his sword, motionless, and didn't chase after Kokushibo.
Before long, Kokushibo discovered that something was wrong with Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Yoriichi Tsugikuni had lost all vitality at this time. Kokushibo couldn't feel any vitality in Yoriichi Tsugikuni's body, as if what was standing there was just an empty shell.
