This Is Just Too Hard for Me
Caught off guard, Daki's head was severed by Kanae.
Kanae turned to look at Kocho Shinobu, and the two sisters smiled at each other. This was their tacit understanding and cooperation; even the Upper Moon demons couldn't compare.
However, Daki head had been severed, did not die. She felt deeply ashamed of being beheaded and began to wail as her head rolled on the ground.
"What a useless little sister."
A figure slowly appeared behind Daki, with short black and green hair, a thin and bony body, and a hunched back.
It looked exceptionally ugly.
Gyutaro appeared from behind Daki upon hearing his sister's call.
Compared to Daki, who was beautiful enough to be a courtesan, her brother was so ugly; they were completely opposite.
Holding a short sickle, he was in no hurry as he slowly picked up Daki's head and put it back on.
"What happened?"
The Kocho Shinobu sisters were on high alert. Daki was not dead, but a new demon had appeared, and it was also Upper Rank Six.
Daki and Gyutaro are twin demons; they cannot be completely killed unless they are killed at the same time.
Two against two, the battle began to get tough.
"Master, should we go up and help?"
Okita Souji turned around and asked Yuxian for her opinion, explaining that she hadn't stepped forward earlier because it wasn't necessary.
The situation is clearly unfavorable for the Kocho Shinobu sisters right now, and she wants to help them, but Yuxian needs to make a decision on all of this.
Yuxian shook his head gently, "There's no need. Uzui Tengen will be here soon. I believe they'll be fine."
After Daki retrieved the scroll, the scroll binding Uzui Tengen's wife disappeared, and it is believed that they will arrive soon.
Sure enough, Yuxian had Yu Xian finished speaking than a muscular figure burst out from underground.
He suddenly attacked Gyutaro from behind, hoping to catch him off guard.
Sound Breathing - Fifth Form: Resonating String Thrum!
Using a dual-sword style, Uzui Tengen spun his two swords rapidly, sending them hurtling towards Gyutaro's back like a whirlwind.
Boom boom boom!
The blade spun as it emitted bursts of explosions.
Behind Uzui Tengen, three more women slowly emerged, each bearing numerous injuries, supporting each other.
They were Uzui Tengen's wives.
Yuxian couldn't help but curl his lip, thinking to himself: Damn winner in life!
Gyutaro's strength far surpasses that of Daki; even when suddenly attacked from behind, he reacts quickly.
He spun his short scythe swiftly, blocking Uzui Tengen's twin swords and preventing them from striking him.
He even had the energy to speak calmly.
"Oh? Three Pillars have come together. It seems we can expect a good harvest this time."
Having said that, his already short and hunchbacked body suddenly became even shorter, and with a whirling motion, the blade of his short-handled sickle drew an arc around him like a bolt of lightning.
Swish, swish, swish!
The Kocho Shinobu sisters and Uzui Tengen, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack him from both sides, were forced to retreat.
In a three-on-one battle, especially against three Pillars, Gyutaro managed to put up a fight.
At this moment, Daki had been beheaded on the other side, finally recovered. The scroll in her hand fluttered, and she wanted to rejoin the battle.
Water Breathing - Third Form, Flowing Dance!
At this moment, Tanjiro Kamado rushed forward. Seeing the situation, he didn't want Daki to join the other side of the battle, so he stepped forward to Daki way.
"You ugly brat, if you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Daki tilted her head and looked at Tanjiro with a disdainful expression.
When Inosuke saw Tanjiro rushing forward, he followed without saying a word and fought alongside him.
Zenitsu Agatsuma, who had been trembling and hiding in a corner, muttering to himself, saw Tanjiro and Inosuke pick up their swords again.
He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and followed. He couldn't bring himself to back down now.
This position also becomes three against one.
However, Tanjiro and his group were clearly under greater pressure, Yuxian focused more on them so that he could intervene to rescue them at any time.
The Red-light District looked particularly messy under the moonlight.
Section 346, Chapter 33: This is so hard for me!
Daki looked displeased as she faced Tanjiro and his two companions.
Having her head chopped off by the Pillar had already enraged her, but the three boys in front of her were clearly not at the Pillar's level, yet they were blocking her way.
This was something that the proud woman simply couldn't accept.
She swung the scroll in her hand rapidly.
Blood Demon Art, Eight-Layered Belt Slash!
She immediately used her Blood Demon Art to deal with Tanjiro and his two companions with all her might.
Having just been defeated by the Kocho Shinobu sisters in battle, she was in a very bad mood and just wanted to quickly kill the three people in front of her so she could go back to the Kocho Shinobu sisters for revenge.
Beast Breathing - Second Fang, Edge Slicer!
Beast Breathing: Fourth Fang, Crushing Slices!
Beast Breathing - Sixth Fang, Chaotic Stabs!
Inosuke is an extremely impatient person. He doesn't know how to be patient or cooperate. He just attacks whenever he gets the chance.
Tanjiro could only support his attack from the outside and restrain him.
Water Breathing - Eighth Form, Constant Flux!
Despite the relentless attacks from Daki's scrolls, Tanjiro and Inosuke were completely unable to inflict any real damage on her.
As for Zenitsu Agatsuma, it's already quite an achievement that he can barely hold on while he's conscious; as for expecting him to accomplish anything, forget about it.
Clap clap clap clap!
Daki's scroll struck Tanjiro and his companions repeatedly, causing them considerable damage.
Yuxian watched from the side, frowning deeply.
It seems that Tanjiro's growth has been delayed quite a bit, and he is actually a little weaker than expected.
However, Yuxian soon noticed Tanjiro's change.
His overall demeanor had changed significantly compared to before.
Dance of the Fire God: Circular Dance!
Tanjiro finally used the Dance of the Fire God, which he inherited from his father.
A blinding flame coiled around the Nichirin Blade in his hand as he swung it in an arc towards Daki.
This technique is far more powerful than Water Breathing.
However, this move also puts a much greater strain on his body.
This simple blow was enough to make Tanjiro feel weak and exhausted, and he seemed to be about to collapse.
Yuxian, who had initially wanted to help, immediately abandoned the idea and continued to watch from the sidelines.
Since Tanjiro has already used Dance of the Fire God, we can perhaps look forward to what's to come, and there's no need to interfere so early.
"Huh? It can actually use fire-based slashes?"
Elsewhere, Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime noticed the battle immediately, but they remained hidden, observing from the shadows.
For them, there is no need to rush to show themselves if Yuxian are not in danger.
Tanjiro's Dance of the Fire God surprised Kiyohime. Just moments ago, he had been using Water Breathing techniques, but suddenly it switched to flames.
Water and fire are two incompatible elements, so their presence in the same person inevitably arouses curiosity.
"Why don't we go out and kill those two demons? Maybe the Master will forgive us for what happened last time."
Kiyohime was somewhat tempted and Tamamo no Mae.
Tamamo no Mae glanced at her. "Give me a break. It's not that simple. Look at how calm and collected he is. He's obviously giving those boys a chance to train. Otherwise, do you think Okita-san wouldn't have gone to help?"
Looking at Yuxian Tamamo no Mae -Mae felt very confident.
"Ah! I really can't take it anymore. The Master is right in front of us, but we still have to hide here. It's so uncomfortable."
Kiyohime started to lose her temper. Her patience was not Tamamo no Mae's, and her endurance over the past few days had reached its limit.
If this continues, she'll probably go crazy again.
"Don't you dare do anything reckless!"
Tamamo no Mae quickly looked at her warily, "Although we are pen pals, if you really cause any more trouble, I won't clean up after you. Our relationship isn't that good yet."
Kiyohime was so anxious that she paced around in circles. She wasn't the type to secretly endure things for long.
However, Tamamo no Mae's words made a lot of sense, which made her very uncomfortable. She felt uneasy all over, and faint flames appeared around her body.
Seeing Kiyohime like this, Tamamo no Mae began to regret her decision. Why had she agreed to bring Kiyohime along?
Kiyohime is in danger of losing control at any moment in her current state, which is giving her a terrible headache.
Little Tamamo is having such a tough time.
The battle continues.
Tanjiro and his two companions were thoroughly defeated by Daki.
Suppressing his physical discomfort, Tanjiro began to think rapidly.
What to do?
While the power of Dance of the Fire God is indeed great, it cannot be used continuously. Given my current physical condition, excessive use is absolutely not advisable, as my body will not be able to withstand it and will collapse.
Tanjiro soon discovered a very strange feeling when he alternated between using Water Breathing and Dance of the Fire God.
It seems that the two can alleviate each other's burdens.
Are they used simultaneously?
Tanjiro acted immediately upon the idea, using both Water Breathing and Dance of the Fire God simultaneously to counteract each other.
Sure enough, using Dance of the Fire God's techniques while using them simultaneously would consume much less energy, reducing the burden on his body.
Upon realizing this, his attacks suddenly became swift again, and in conjunction with Inosuke's attacks, he regained his footing on the field.
Daki is furious. How dare these three ants humiliate her like this! Meanwhile, Gyutaro is being attacked by three Pillars. If this goes on, things will get very bad.
However, she was tied up here and unable to rush over to help, which was hard for the proud Daki to bear.
She gritted her teeth and swung the scroll in her hand faster and faster, creating afterimages in the room.
This scroll could neither be cut nor burned, which really troubled Tanjiro and the others.
Water Breathing - Sixth Form, Twisting Whirlpool!
Faced with a barrage of scrolls, Tanjiro twisted his Nichirin Blade violently, creating a vortex.
Under the strong pull of the vortex, Daki's ribbon was drawn together and rotated with the direction of the vortex.
Tanjiro pulled the entangled scroll along and pointed it to the ground.
Despair!
