Starting from Demon Slayer, Achieving the Strongest Demon Blade!

Only then did Tanjiro remember that Inosuke had been sent flying and had not shown himself since. He hurriedly left Zenitsu behind.

After taking one last look at the recovered Nezuko, he rushed out into the courtyard.

He found the buried Inosuke.

Inosuke had long since lost consciousness. Tanjiro had no time to think and hurriedly said,

"Please, Ashura Maru."

"Put your hand on him."

Lin Fan did not waste any words and immediately released Demon Power to heal his injuries.

In just a moment, all of his injuries were healed.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Kamanue's corpse finally disintegrated completely.

A string of system notifications also rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! Detected that Lower Rank Six Kamanue has generated a large amount of negative emotions. Obtained 2,000 Emotion Points!

Ding! Detected that Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji has generated a large amount of negative emotions. Obtained 3,000 Emotion Points!

This time, 1,000 Demon Power has been obtained. Thirty percent will be bestowed upon blade master Tanjiro!]

Outside.

The healed Inosuke woke up as well, immediately grabbing his twin blades and shouting,

"Where's that demon? I'm going to tear it apart!"

"Inosuke, that demon is already dead. It's fine now." Tanjiro quickly stopped him and explained what had happened.

Only then did Inosuke relax and let out a long breath. "You're something else, Tanjiro. You actually defeated that guy all by yourself!"

As the two spoke,

Tanjiro suddenly felt something strange in his body and could not help dropping to one knee.

Seeing this, Inosuke hurriedly asked,

"Are you okay, Tanjiro? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine."

After replying, Tanjiro felt power surging through his body.

Recognizing that familiar feeling, he knew Ashura Maru was increasing his strength again, at the cost of the already dead Kamanue.

Thinking of that, he could not help showing a trace of sadness.

But that sadness was only temporary. Once the enhancement ended,

Tanjiro immediately returned to the room.

Inside the blade.

Lin Fan frowned, deeply dissatisfied with the outcome of this battle. He had originally wanted to use this opportunity to have Kamanue force Tanjiro into a desperate situation.

So that he could comprehend the Dance of the Fire God.

But he had not expected it to fail. Still, after thinking it over, Lin Fan wondered,

Could it have happened too quickly?

After all, in the original story, before Tanjiro had been driven into a desperate situation, he had been beaten mercilessly by Lower Rank Five Rui for who knew how long.

Then Kamanue had directly pierced his heart, leaving him on the verge of death in an instant. There had been no chance for him to comprehend anything...

The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Lin Fan gritted his teeth in anger. Kamanue, you really deserved to die!

At the same time.

Inside Infinity Castle, Muzan covered his face with one hand, trying to hide the fear in his eyes.

"What was that thing? What did that brat do? Why did he suddenly become so much stronger? And what was with that girl who suddenly appeared?"

Even after living for a thousand years,

this was the first time he had seen something so bizarre!

What Kind of Push-Ups Are Those?

What should he do?

This was too strange.

Should he continue sending demons to probe them, or should he stop here?

Muzan fell into brief contemplation.

But not long afterward, he made his choice. He did not care how many demons under his command died. Even if the Upper Ranks died, so what?

I have a feeling that this strange brat may change the situation that has remained unchanged for so many years!

If possible, this brat had to die!

Having made up his mind, he immediately issued an order.

Aside from the dead Kamanue, all Twelve Kizuki received Muzan's command to kill, at any cost, a demon slayer wearing Hanafuda earrings.

This time, even the Upper Ranks were intrigued.

Back at the estate.

When the old woman heard the commotion and came into the courtyard, she saw the devastation there.

Tanjiro, who had also finished treating Zenitsu, hurried forward and bowed sincerely in apology. "I'm sorry. This happened because of us. I'll definitely compensate you."

The old woman was not foolish.

Seeing the three of them in tattered, bloodstained clothes, filthy and covered in dust, then looking at the pool of blood on the ground,

she could already guess that a demon had attacked.

But it had been killed by these three boys. The old woman had already pieced together the entire sequence of events and immediately smiled kindly.

"It's all right. As long as you are safe, that's what matters. I'll find a doctor to treat your injuries later..."

But Tanjiro hurriedly stopped her.

"There's no need to trouble yourself with finding a doctor. Our injuries aren't serious, so there's no need for you to spend money on us."

The old woman wanted to say more, but when she met Tanjiro's sincere gaze, she could only give up.

"Then if anything feels wrong, you must tell me immediately. For tonight, you can switch to another room. Come with me..."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Tanjiro quickly thanked her and followed behind her.

Meanwhile, in the corridor, Inosuke and Zenitsu chatted off to the side.

"What exactly happened while I was unconscious?" Inosuke asked curiously.

At the mention of that, Zenitsu could not help laughing.

"Hehehe..."

"Your laugh is disgusting."

Even Inosuke could not help shooting him a look of disgust.

But Zenitsu replied righteously,

"What do you know? I found my true love. Didn't you want to know what happened just now? I'll tell you..."

He immediately began recounting what had happened.

He especially went into great detail about Lin Fan, practically making every sentence about him!

"Is that sword really that powerful?" Inosuke looked at the twin chipped blades in his hands, exhaling roughly through the nostrils of his boar mask.

Nezuko had already returned to the wooden box and hidden inside.

It was not until Tanjiro returned and led everyone to their new room that they could finally get some rest.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Tanjiro got up at dawn and began training frantically in the courtyard. With Ashura Maru's help,

his training had become increasingly effortless.

He could now maintain Total Concentration Breathing for longer and longer periods. Even his lungs had become exceptionally strong, and his breathing alone produced a considerable sound.

Tanjiro was delighted by this.

But today was different from before. In the past, only Tanjiro trained, but today Zenitsu and Inosuke joined in as well.

Inosuke's thoughts were simple.

He wanted to become stronger and completely surpass that weakling who had trembled in fear last night and had been unable to help Tanjiro at all!

"Tanjiro, how exactly am I supposed to train? I want to become stronger!"

Faced with the question, Tanjiro held nothing back.

He poured out all the insights he had gained from training over this period. "You need to let the air flow around your fingers, and your lungs need to push outward..."

After hearing that, Inosuke was completely confused.

Meanwhile, Zenitsu's gaze had remained fixed on Ashura Maru at Tanjiro's waist and had never moved away. "Tanjiro, can you call Ashura Maru out again?"

"No."

Before Lin Fan could say anything, Tanjiro refused first.

If it had been anything else, such as asking for guidance in training, he might have considered it. But he knew exactly what Zenitsu was scheming without even needing to think.

"Come on, can't you let me borrow Ashura Maru for a bit, Tanjiro?"

But Zenitsu still shamelessly kept pestering him.

"No means no."

Unfortunately, Tanjiro's attitude was exceptionally firm. The two argued while training.

Inosuke was almost dumbfounded.

When they got to push-ups, Lin Fan, inside the blade, nearly lost it when he saw Zenitsu's form.

Well, damn. His upper body did not move,

but his lower body did, huh?!

I'm warning you, this is an invasion of Japan's territory!

That's indecent behavior...

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, a month went by.

During that time, Lin Fan had thought Muzan would be unable to sit still and send stronger demons to hunt Tanjiro, but unexpectedly, he simply left them alone.

But the more that happened,

the more Lin Fan felt that something was wrong.

Was Muzan an idiot? Obviously not.

Which meant that he had to be plotting something. Considering the storyline,

they would soon be heading to the nearby Mount Natagumo, where there was originally a very powerful Lower Rank Five Rui.

If several more Twelve Kizuki were lying in ambush there...

Even if the Upper Ranks did not come, Tanjiro and the others might go in standing and come out lying down.

Lin Fan thought it would be best not to go.
