Okita Souji's Fury / Searching for the Missing Master

He stomped on it with all his might, tautly stretching the tapestry to prevent Daki from pulling away.

Dance of the Fire God: Flame Dance!

In that instant, Tanjiro rapidly switched his Breathing Technique and unleashed a two-stage slash even more powerful than Dance of the Fire God: Circular Dance.

The taut ribbon snapped with a crack under Tanjiro's slash.

The annoying ribbon was finally cut off thanks to Tanjiro's efforts.

"Inosuke!"

Tanjiro roared angrily.

Inosuke was standing to the side, didn't need any reminders and had already rushed forward with his twin swords.

Beast Breathing - Third Fang, Tusks Rip!

Chapter 34, Section 347: Okita Souji's Wrath

Pfft!

Daki's head was severed from her body once again and chopped off by Inosuke.

This time, no one came to her rescue. Gyutaro was too busy taking care of himself to help her.

"I didn't realize they were actually cooperating at all!"

Okita Souji nodded; the teamwork between Tanjiro and Inosuke had surprised her.

It's truly remarkable that the two, who were originally fighting independently, could still have such tacit understanding at this crucial moment.

"You're so useless!"

When Gyutaro saw his sister's head being chopped off again, he spat in disgust, but he was already struggling to face the combined attack of three Demon Slayer Corps Pillars.

He could barely save himself, let alone rescue Daki.

Sound Breathing - Fourth Form: Endless Echo Slash!

Flower Breathing - Fifth Form: Withered Peony!

When Daki cut off his head, Gyutaro panicked and revealed a slight flaw.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Uzui Tengen and Kanae simultaneously launched an attack on Gyutaro.

At that moment, they could both guess that they would have to cut off the heads of both men at the same time to kill them.

While the two were working together to pressure Gyutaro, Kocho Shinobu seized the opportunity, took a heavy step, and disappeared from the spot.

Insect Breathing, Dance of the Centipede, Hundred-Legged Serpent!

Her figure vanished in the blink of an eye, and when she reappeared, she was already in front of Gyutaro.

He thrust his Nichirin Blade forward, piercing Gyutaro's throat.

Although she didn't sever his neck immediately, Kocho Shinobu, who was skilled in using poisons, had a large amount of Wisteria Poison hidden in her Nichirin Blade.

As the poison pierced Gyutaro's throat, a large amount of toxin was simultaneously injected into his body.

Besides sunlight, what ghosts fear most is Wisteria Poison, and this level of Wisteria Poison is very difficult for Gyutaro to neutralize.

It's over.

His body was paralyzed and unable to move. He collapsed to the ground and began to slowly dissipate.

In the moments before their deaths, the brother and sister began to blame each other.

They were once siblings who depended on each other for survival, but after becoming ghosts, they began to despise each other and even broke off their relationship.

Tanjiro walked over, placed the two bodies together, and said gently, "You are siblings, always have been."

A slideshow of death appeared before their eyes, and fragments of the past flashed by one after another.

The brother and sister finally remembered the feelings they had when they were human, and they comforted and encouraged each other as they struggled to survive in this world.

"We've always been together..."

The two, who had finally reconciled, vanished with the wind and disappeared from this world completely.

The evil spirits of Red-light District have been exorcised.

Although Upper Rank Six is the weakest of the Upper Moon demons, it was undoubtedly a great victory for the Demon Slayer Corps, which had not been able to kill an Upper Moon demon in a hundred years. It is worthy of praise.

All the participants sustained injuries of varying degrees and needed to return to the Demon Slayer Corps' base to heal.

Yuxian then bid them farewell, as he was also heading back.

Nezuko ran over and tugged at his clothes, her face showing some reluctance.

"It's okay, you can go play with everyone again next time."

Yuxian comforted her, "I'll talk to them for you, don't worry."

Nezuko nodded emphatically, ran back to Tanjiro's side, and waved goodbye to Yuxian.

The matter on the Red-light District was over, and everyone decided not to linger any longer, choosing to leave overnight to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.

Yuxian and Soji set off alone, walking along the road in the moonlight.

"Traveling at midnight is really exhausting."

After walking for a while, Yuxian couldn't help but complain.

Walking on the road at night was really unsettling, but thankfully Soji was there to keep me company, which brought some comfort to Yuxian's heart.

There were no lights, no pedestrians, and the desolate wilderness was extremely barren; you never knew when some unknown creature might suddenly appear.

"Master, you're too much..."

Okita Souji couldn't help but shake his head, speechless at Yuxian.

For her, walking at night was no different from walking during the day.

"Don't worry, this road is very safe. Even if someone comes out, I'll still be here."

The Soji comforted Yuxian.

But before she could finish speaking, two figures appeared in front of her, their faces obscured by the distance.

The blurry figure in the moonlight startled Yuxian.

"See, now that you mention it, it really is a ghost story."

Okita Souji was initially on guard, gripping the hilt of her sword, but she quickly relaxed.

Her eyesight was much better than Yuxian's, and she had already recognized the two people.

Are you guys out scaring people in the middle of the night for fun?

The Soji said to the two of them, speechless.

"No way! We just miss our Master!"

The two people who appeared in front were Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime.

"Does missing your Master require waiting in the middle of the night in this desolate place?"

Okita Souji was full of suspicion towards the two of them. "Tell me, what are you planning this time?"

"We really just came to see the Master."

Tamamo no Mae walked forward, approaching the two of them.

"Master, have you been missing Little Tamamo?!"

Kiyohime also moved closer to Yuxian, calling out in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Master—!"

Yuxian being called that, Yu Xian burst into silly laughter, completely forgetting the words he had prepared beforehand.

He had originally planned to question these two properly, but now that they had called him like that, he had no intention of doing so at all; he was practically floating on air.

Seeing such Yuxian, Okita Souji couldn't help but roll his eyes and said irritably, "Let's hurry up and get going, or it will be dawn soon."

"Yes, yes, let's get going first."

Yuxian quickly echoed the Soji's words.

"OK!"

Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime flanked Yuxian from the left and right, practically carrying him forward.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

"Hey! This isn't the way, you've gone the wrong way!"

Yuxian said repeatedly that he noticed Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime were leading him in a slightly different direction than Soji, instead of following him.

"That's right, this is the way."

Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime were unwilling to let go, and instead quickened their pace, trying to shake off Okita Souji.

At this moment, Okita Souji, realizing something was wrong, suddenly turned around and angrily shouted, "What are you trying to do!"

She had been leading the way out of sight, but now she discovered that Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime were leading Yuxian in another direction.

"Well, you dare to kidnap your Master!"

Okita Souji knew exactly what the two were thinking, so he immediately pushed off with his feet and turned around to rush over.

Kiyohime stepped forward to stop Okita Souji, Tamamo no Mae continued to leave with Yuxian.

"Okita-san, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Master."

Okita Souji was furious upon hearing this. She was both ashamed and angry. If the two of them took her Master away, how would she explain it when she got back?

She immediately drew her sword; in this situation, she couldn't care less about anything else, she had to get her Master back.

Chapter 35, Section 348: Searching for the Lost Master

At dawn, at Minamoto no Raikō's residence.

Exhausted and covered in dust, Okita Souji appeared, her head bowed, looking dejected.

"Huh? Okita-san is back!"

Upon seeing Okita Souji appear in the living room, everyone went up to greet him.

"By the way, where is the Master?"

When the group did not see Yuxian, who had gone out with her, they looked around and began to search, assuming that Yuxian had temporarily run away.

"Master... Master..."

Okita Souji hesitated, unsure of what to say; she found it difficult to speak.

This was her fault. She was supposed to be out with Yuxian, but this happened, and she felt terrible.

Everyone was startled to see Okita Souji looking like he was about to cry.

Yuxian is in trouble!

This was outrageous! In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire living room became tense and filled with murderous intent.

Those with weaker hearts couldn't bear it anymore; Abby, for example, was already secretly wiping away tears.

"The Master was taken away by Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime..."

Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, Okita Souji recounted the events in detail.

This time, everyone present was in an uproar.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief that Yu Yuxian was alright, but how could they tolerate having her snatched away by Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime?

So a group of people started to get restless.
