Although Kanao wasn't a Pillar, she was the adopted child of Shinobu's sister. After Shinobu's sister passed away, Shinobu took over the responsibility of teaching Kanao.
Kanao was a genius herself. Her growth rate was no slower than Tanjiro's. In addition, she had a visual advantage, which could reduce the chance of Kanao getting injured and increase the accuracy of Kanao's attacks.
Therefore, Kanao's current strength was stronger than Shinobu's.
The huge ice pillars slammed into the flower bud. Although the flower bud helped Kanao absorb most of the damage, the flower bud was maintained by Kanao's breathing. So, Kanao was still affected.
Kanao was seen kneeling on the ground, her expression very uncomfortable, seemingly struggling to hold on.
Then another huge ice pillar slammed down. This time, Kanao finally couldn't bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, Doma used Blood Demon Art to create an ice clone. The ice clone immediately attacked Shinobu, who was treating Kujo Hattori.
Although Shinobu had sensed the ice clone coming towards her, Shinobu was caught in a dilemma.
Because if Shinobu chose to run, then Kujo Hattori would have to be abandoned. If she chose to run with Kujo Hattori, then she definitely wouldn't be able to escape, because it would affect Shinobu's movement speed.
Abandoning Kujo Hattori was something Shinobu really couldn't do. Because doing such a thing would cause a lot of psychological pressure.
Moreover, Kanao was still working hard to fight against Doma. Did Shinobu also have to abandon Kanao?
Finally, Shinobu looked at the Nichirin sword held in Kujo Hattori's hand and took it into her own hands, forced to fight Doma's ice clone again.
"Bloom!"
On the other side, Kanao finally chose to unfold this flower bud to break the deadlock.
As the sound of breaking ice rang, the flower bud that wrapped Kanao bloomed open, and the unfolded flowers rotated three hundred and sixty degrees.
While the flowers rotated, those flower buds shot out in all directions like huge blades, destroying the ice sculpture of the woman who spat out cold air in the blink of an eye.
Doma had already dodged Kanao's flower bud attack. While dodging, Doma didn't forget to throw the folding fan in his hand towards Kanao.
Kanao immediately pulled out the Nichirin sword inserted in the ground and then waved the sword to block the folding fan flying towards her.
After the folding fan collided with the blade, its flight path immediately changed.
"Your strength is quite impressive! You can actually block my attack!" Doma couldn't help but praise Kanao.
Compared to dealing with the Wind Pillar Sanemi Shinazugawa in the Swordsmith Village, Doma felt that Kanao seemed to be a little more powerful than the Wind Pillar. At least Kanao had blocked his dense attacks and had also given him a counterattack.
The reason why Kanao could block Doma's attack was mainly because Flower Breathing, Seventh Form, Budding was a defensive move.
Sanemi Shinazugawa couldn't block Doma's rozen Lotus and Freezing Clouds because the moves he used didn't have defensive effects. The wind blades produced couldn't completely dissolve Doma's dense ice lotus petals and block the cold air released by Freezing Clouds.
Therefore, the fact that Sanemi Shinazugawa could persist for so long under the influence of cold air was enough to show the strength of Sanemi Shinazugawa's own hard power.
