The Hashira's Judgment: A Demon Reigns Supreme!
Their gazes collided fiercely in mid-air, sparking an invisible flame.
Tanjiro's mouth gradually stretched to both sides, revealing an extremely wide and sinister grin.
"Hey, you expressionless swordsman."
He raised his right hand, which was covered with a faint layer of reddish Heat Haze, and casually examined the flawless lines of his palm in the sunlight.
"I'm in a really good mood right now. After all, the feeling of this sunshine on my skin is a million times more comfortable than I imagined."
"So far, I haven't developed any appetite for your sour-smelling, stiff-muscled human flesh!!"
"... In other words, I don't have any intention of killing anyone right now."
At this point, Tanjiro's eyes suddenly darkened!
Boom--!
A violent and destructive aura instantly swept out from his body!
The pressure was so strong that it caused the rubble and Wisteria on the ground to float directly into the air, as if they had lost gravity!
However...
His blood-red, vertical pupils stared at Giyu, his tone filled with undisguised provocation.
"As time goes by, unpredictable changes may occur to my perfect body; I, for one, have no idea!!"
"What if I suddenly get hungry later and want to taste what you so-called 'top combat power' are like..."
Tanjiro stuck out his tongue and licked his sharp, white teeth.
"And you, the only one who's barely passable with your poker face, if you can't stop me..."
"Everyone here, including that blind Oyakata-sama sitting in the corridor, will become my appetizers!... You are all doomed!"
However.
Giyu Tomioka Giyu's icy face didn't even twitch an eyebrow.
His right thumb rested naturally on the cold tsuba of the Nichirin Blade.
"Clang--!"
With a slight exertion of his thumb, a section of deep blue blade was thrust out, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
"Yeah?"
He looked at the arrogant "Tanjiro," his thin lips slightly parted.
"Feel free to give it a try."
"Asshole!!"
Before Tanjiro could react, a deafening roar exploded on the other side of the courtyard!
"Stop spouting nonsense here! You ugly monster who's just pretending to be a ghost!"
The moment I heard Tanjiro's comment that he treated his blind Oyakata-sama as an appetizer,
Sanemi's rage has reached its peak!!
How dare this mere brat insult his most revered Master?!
I don't care if you're afraid of the sun! I don't care what kind of Perfect Lifeform you are!
The veins on his forehead throbbed wildly, and he exuded an undisguised murderous intent.
"Even if I chop you into pieces, you'll still die!!"
Sanemi gripped the Nichirin Blade, which gleamed with a bluish light, with both hands and pushed off the ground with both legs.
"Bang!"
The bluestone slabs were crushed to pieces by being stepped on.
Sanemi transformed into a raging tornado that tore through the air, charging towards Tanjiro!
"Wind Breathing - Sixth Form - Black Wind Mountain Mist!!"
The air was compressed to an extreme degree in an instant, and countless cyan wind blades surged wildly from his blade.
These wind blades intertwined, forming an impenetrable net of death, heading straight for Tanjiro- covering force!
"Die, monster!!"
Seeing the terrifying wind blades coming straight at him, Tanjiro didn't even lift his eyelids.
"A presumptuous white stray dog."
He clearly remembered that it was this frenzied White-Haired Mad Dog had punched him again and again, breaking his ribs, and even arrogantly chopping off his head at the end.
As a "god," he remembers this debt very clearly!
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll make you my first target!"
Tanjiro suddenly raised his right fist!
"Bang-!"
His fist blasted out like a pile driver, bracing against the barrage of wind blades!
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
Sanemi's Sixth Form wind blade, capable of shredding everything, was shattered into countless blue light spots by this simple, unadorned straight punch!
"What?!"
Sanemi's pupils suddenly contracted; he simply couldn't believe his eyes!
Unarmed?
You didn't even need to use Blood Demon Art; you just smashed my Wind Breathing ultimate move with your bare hands?!
However, what's even more terrifying is yet to come.
After shattering the wind blade, Tanjiro's fist, still possessing immense power, slammed into Sanemi's Nichirin Blade as it slashed down with a terrifying, sound-barrier-breaking roar!
"Buzz--!"
The blue Nichirin Blade, forged through countless hammer blows, let out a mournful cry!
The blade was slammed into an exaggerated arc by Tanjiro's fist!
Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming and terrifying force surged wildly down the hilt of the sword and into Sanemi's arms!
"Pfft!"
Sanemi's arm muscles instantly ruptured, and a huge gash was blown open at the base of his thumb, gushing out scalding blood!
"What the hell... what kind of insane strength is this?!"
Sanemi's mind went blank for a moment. He felt as if he had not been cutting down a living creature, but had crashed into a heavily armored train traveling at full speed!
"You hit me just now... you enjoyed it, didn't you?"
Tanjiro's eerie face, covered in flame-like demonic patterns, had transcended the limitations of space and instantly magnified before Sanemi's eyes.
"It's only polite to return a favor! Now, I'll give you back double!"
Before he finished speaking, Tanjiro stomped his left foot forward and unleashed a terrifying twisting force from his waist.
His left fist, like a heavy armor-piercing shell fired from a gun, sank solidly into Sanemi's abdomen with devastating kinetic energy!
"Pfft--!"
Sanemi's eyes suddenly bulged out.
His internal organs seemed to have been twisted into a tangled mess by this strange force.
"Boom!"
"Splash--!"
Sanemi's body was like a heavy bomb, smashing through three thick stone walls at the edge of the courtyard before being buried deep in the rubble dozens of meters away, his fate unknown!
Instant kill!
The Wind Hashira is the most hot-tempered member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and his attack power is among the highest!
Before the [Perfect Lifeform], it was reduced to near death in just one exchange!
"The Shinazugawa!!"
Upon seeing this, Obanai Iguro and Sabito simultaneously let out a roar of shock and rage.
"You unforgivable monster! I'll chop you into mincemeat and feed you to my Kaburamaru!"
Obanai moved like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, skimming along the ground with uncanny speed.
The wavy Nichirin Blade in his hand traced dazzling, twisting trajectories in the air.
"Serpent Breathing, Fifth Form: Slithering Serpent!"
The wavy blade transformed into a giant white snake phantom, baring its fangs dripping with venom, and hurtled straight at Tanjiro's throat with a cunning trajectory!
At the same time, the Sabito also flanked from the other side.
Seeing Tanjiro in this state, Sabito was in pain, but his swordsman's instincts made him draw his sword without hesitation.
"Don't even think about hurting anyone again!"
Sabito roared, and the Nichirin Blade in his hand stirred up a continuous blue wave.
"Water Breathing - Eighth Form - Waterfall Basin!"
A massive waterfall cascades down from above, carrying immense force.
Together with Obanai's venomous slash, they formed a perfect crossfire, attempting to completely corner the monster with the most ferocious pincer attack.
The two pillar-level masters, one on the left and one on the right, coordinated perfectly!
However, faced with these two ferocious killing moves,
Tanjiro simply yawned listlessly, even giving a disdainful smirk.
"Too slow! Are you putting on some kind of ancient sacrificial dance for me?"
Tanjiro's body swayed strangely in place.
With a very slight sway, it left a trail of afterimages in the air.
His blood-red, vertical pupils seemed to be equipped with a super radar, easily seeing through all attack trajectories!
He strolled leisurely through the gaps, the sharp blades not even managing to brush against the hem of his clothes.
"The first one."
Tanjiro whispered, and his right hand shot out like lightning!
His hand, at an incredible angle, precisely pierced through Obanai's impenetrable net of serpentine blades, and firmly grasped the blade of Obanai's wavy Nichirin Blade!
"What?!"
Obanai was horrified; her heterochromatic pupils contracted sharply.
He tried his best to draw his sword and retreat, but found that his Nichirin Blade was as if it were welded to the spot, and no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn't budge!
He caught the pillar's slash with his bare hands?!
What is this monster's skin made of?!
"Get out of here!"
Before Obanai could react, Tanjiro's lips curled into a wicked grin.
He suddenly exerted force with one arm, and terrifying muscle power exploded instantly!
He actually swung Obanai, knife and all, through the air like a giant windmill, making a 360-degree turn!
"Wow--!"
Obanai felt dizzy and the strong centrifugal force almost made him vomit.
Immediately afterwards, Tanjiro, like throwing a heavy bowling ball, mercilessly slammed Obanai Sabito was charging from the other side!
"Bang!"
Seeing Obanai hurtling towards him like a human cannonball, Sabito had no choice but to grit his teeth and stop the flow of Water Breathing in order to avoid his comrade.
"Whoosh--!"
Tanjiro's figure had already teleported to Sabito's front like a ghost.
"The second one!"
Tanjiro grinned, revealing his sharp, white teeth.
With a twist of his waist, he delivered a clean and crisp high whip kick, whistling through the air, which struck Sabito hard in the chest!
"Snap!"
Sabito collided with Obanai like a kite with a broken string!
The two rolled like gourds on the ground, leaving a long, bloody gash on the flagstones before finally collapsing to the ground.
In less than ten rounds!
Three top-tier Pillar-level swordsmen, the backbone of the Demon Slayer Corps, were like a few tattered sacks carelessly discarded by adults in front of Tanjiro, all of them easily blasted away!
Crush!
This is an absolute, illogical numerical crushing victory!
