The children can see the arrows fired by the Arrow Demon, but the cramped space in the room prevents them from retaliating immediately.

Jack moved nimbly through the room, wielding a dagger in both hands and swinging it forcefully through the air, hacking at the arrows.

It can't be cut off.

Jack's dagger didn't cut the arrow in half, but each swing of her dagger changed the arrow's direction.

This change brightened Jack's eyes, and a happy smile appeared on her little face, as if she had found something fun.

Arrow Demon's arrows look fast, but they're clearly not fast enough to catch up with Jack's speed.

Her lithe figure easily dodged the arrows, then she swung them down.

Once, twice, three times.

As Jack continued to swing his sword, the arrows changed direction according to certain rules.

Ding ding ding ding!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Jack transformed all the arrows into something that flew into the sky.

Clang! The roof was blasted open, and a crescent moon appeared above everyone's heads.

The Arrow Demon and Handball Demon outside temporarily stopped their attack after discovering this.

Jack ran off quickly, blinked, and said, "Where's the arrow? Where's the arrow? Jack wants to keep playing."

She found the game very fun and is now eager to try other different ways.

Tanjiro also came out at the same time, standing in front of Jack with his Nichirin Blade in hand.

"Step back, I'll deal with these ghosts."

Tanjiro couldn't see the arrows flying around in the air, so he didn't realize anything was wrong with Jack's actions.

But Yushiro could see it, and he yelled at Tanjiro, "Are you an idiot?! This little girl is clearly stronger than you. You're the one who should step back!"

Tanjiro looked at Jack with surprise, and couldn't help but wonder: Is he really stronger than me?

"Jack, hurry up and deal with them! My clothes are all dirty, it's awful!"

Gretel Yao glared angrily at the two attackers outside. Although she hadn't been hit by the handball, the dust kicked up by the damaged wall would inevitably get on her clothes, which she couldn't stand.

The other children were a little better off, as they all had changes of clothes, but Gretel loved wearing this outfit the most and refused to change, which naturally made her very annoyed when it got dirty.

"But..." Jack blinked his big eyes hesitantly, "We want to play a little longer..."

She was a little reluctant to defeat her opponent so quickly; the flying arrows were so much fun, and she was very reluctant to part with them.

"Then hurry up, don't keep us waiting too long!"

Seeing this, Gretel shook her head helplessly. She didn't force Jack, but sullenly found a place to sit down, hugged her knees, and prepared to watch Jack play by himself.

"Okay!"

Jack smiled happily; she was overjoyed that her friends had agreed to let her play a little longer.

She rushed quickly toward the Arrow Demon and the Handball Demon.

Arrow Demon closed his Mind's Eye, and an arrow flew towards Jack.

"Found you!"

Jack knew it was Arrow Demon who had sent the arrow, so he immediately abandoned Handball Demon and focused his attack on Arrow Demon.

With her skills, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to kill her opponent, but now she needed more arrows, so she kept pressuring him to make the Arrow Demon fire more arrows.

Meanwhile, after being abandoned by Jack, Handball Demon turned her attention to Tanjiro Kamado.

"Found him, the demon hunter with the Hanafuda in his ear."

When the Handball Demon saw the Hanafuda hanging from Tanjiro's ear, they immediately smiled with joy. They had come here to find Tanjiro, as Muzan had ordered them to do so.

"So you were after me." Tanjiro stepped forward, gripping his long sword tightly.

Water Breathing - Seventh Form, Striking Tide!

He immediately unleashed his fastest thrusting technique, the blade swiftly stabbing diagonally along the curve, like ripples spreading across the surface of water.

It's clear that Tanjiro was extremely angry at this moment, as he understood that these two were sent by Muzan Kibutsuji to deal with him.

Tamayo asked him to collect the blood of powerful demons to research a medicine to cure Nezuko, Tanjiro was determined to do whatever she asked.

Being able to turn Nezuko back into a human was the most important thing to him all along.

Without the help of Arrow Demon, Handball Demon does not have a very obvious advantage against Tanjiro.

She was caught off guard and had her arm severed by Tanjiro's attack.

Such an attack was not enough to kill her; her hands quickly regenerated, and at the same time, two more pairs of arms grew.

Six hands slapped the ball simultaneously, their facial expressions becoming even more arrogant.

Wow! So many hands, is she a crab?

"Aren't there eight crabs? Besides, having more hands doesn't mean you're more capable."

"Exactly, relying solely on your hands is of no use at all."

The children were commenting and making opinions at the same time, showing no sign of tension.

This contrasts sharply with Nezuko's extremely nervous expression beside them.

Seeing this Little Jeanne quickly comforted Nezuko, "Don't worry, we'll help if your brother is in danger."

With Little Jeanne's comfort, Nezuko's expression relaxed a little, but she still dared not relax, her eyes fixed on Tanjiro Kamado fighting in the arena.

Water Breathing - Fourth Form, Clashing Waves!

Tanjiro wielded his Nichirin Blade, unleashing a tidal wave of attacks that knocked down the handballs shot by the Handball Demon one by one.

Water Breathing - Third Form, Flowing Dance!

He then used a new sword technique, moving forward at extremely high speed towards the Handball Demon, his rapid movement creating several afterimages on the field.

Tanjiro was taking a heavy toll from using sword techniques continuously, and his body was starting to feel the strain.

However, the Handball Demon was also forced into a difficult position and unable to launch a very effective attack.

"Nezuko, your brother is actually quite capable!"

"Uh-huh!"

Nezuko nodded vigorously, expressing her delight at the children's praise of her brother.

Chapter 10, Section 323: The Master is finally useful!

The battle between Tanjiro Kamado and the Handball Demon looks extremely intense.

Tanjiro, who possesses the Water Breathing technique, has not yet reached the Hashira-level, but the Handball Demon he faces is not at the level of the Twelve Kizuki either.

The two are evenly matched, making them truly evenly matched opponents. Such a battle is perfect for improving Tanjiro's combat skills.

Yuxian didn't disturb him. Tanjiro would encounter more powerful opponents in the future, and improving his strength was an essential process. It was a good opportunity for him to train.

In contrast, the fight between Jack and Arrow Demon seemed very bizarre.

Jack laughed heartily, finding the Arrow Demon's arrows very amusing, and kept jumping around there.

She flew through the air, leaping back and forth on the arrows, occasionally using her dagger to change their direction, having a great time.

Arrow Demon was completely helpless against the agile and nimble Jack; his Blood Demon Art were utterly ineffective against Jack.

As time went on, Arrow Demon realized that Jack was just toying with him and had no intention of attacking him at all.

Arrow Demon was filled with rage, and it fired arrows faster and faster, attempting to encircle Jack from all directions.

Several arrows shot faster, hurtling towards Jack from different directions.

"This is so much fun!"

Jack paid no attention; she was engrossed in the moment, dodging and weaving with ease. She increased her speed in response to the arrows, moving effortlessly through the gaps.

With a few clanging strikes, the arrows seemed to be knotted together in the middle, tangled up in a mess.

Arrow Demon finally lost his mind and attacked in anger, unleashing his Blood Demon Art to its fullest extent without holding back.

Several arrows pointing in different directions pulled at Jack's small body in all directions, centered on Jack's body.

"Ah! I've been caught!"

Jack blinked her adorable big eyes and froze in place for a moment.

"I'm going to tear you to shreds!"

Arrow Demon gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice. He was enraged by the little girl in front of him and was determined not to fail again this time.

Water Breathing - Second Form: Water Wheel!

Just when Arrow Demon thought he could finally finish off the annoying child in front of him, a slash came from the side.

Although Tanjiro Kamado was fighting the Handball Demon, his eyes were constantly fixed on Jack's side.

Seeing that Jack was bound by the Arrow Demon and in danger, he resolutely abandoned his own goal and turned to help Jack out of the predicament.

Tanjiro is still the same gentle Tanjiro, but the risks he takes are enormous.

When he turned to attack Arrow Demon, he was exposing his back to Handball Demon, leaving him completely unprepared.

But he still subconsciously considered Jack's feelings first, and without hesitation slashed his Nichirin Blade at Arrow Demon.

Arrow Demon was currently focused entirely on engaging Jack and had no ability to spare any attention to resist Tanjiro's attack.

Tanjiro's Nichirin Blade swiftly sliced across his neck, separating the Arrow Demon's head from its body.

After his head was cut off by the Nichirin Blade, Arrow Demon's body slowly began to weather away, but he continued to use Blood Demon Art, showing no sign of giving up.

Even if he dies, he'll Jack down with him.

However, in the last moment before he disappeared, he witnessed a scene of despair.

As Jack blinked, still puzzled by Tanjiro's sudden help, the Handball Demon's handball shot towards Tanjiro from behind.

She instantly broke free from Arrow Demon's Blood Demon Art, leaping swiftly behind Tanjiro to shield him from the attack.

Do you want to play with Jack too?

Arrow Demon's supposed trump card posed no threat to Jack at all; she only refrained from breaking free because she found it amusing.

The Arrow Demon, its eyes filled with resentment, vanished completely from this world.

Tanjiro looked at the innocent-looking Jack and finally understood what Yushiro had just said.

The little girl in front of him was much stronger than him.

He killed Arrow Demon with a single blow, thinking he was helping Jack out of a predicament. However, it now seems that Jack doesn't need his help at all.

However, Tanjiro didn't have time to think much at this moment. There was another demon in front of him, and he had to concentrate on killing her.

"Jack! Have you had enough fun? We need to go home!"

The children finally lost patience and realized they were being very kind by giving Jack so much time to play by himself.

If Jack weren't their good friend, it would be absolutely impossible for him to make them stand there and wait like this.

Now that Arrow Demon is dead and it's almost time, they start urging Jack on.

"Oh!"

Jack nodded, sheathed his dagger, and skipped back.

"Let's go!"

He completely ignored the Handball Demon, as if she didn't exist.

"Why don't you kill that annoying guy before you come back!"

Gretel looked at Jack speechlessly, feeling helpless at Jack carefree attitude.

"I'll do it."
