It was a pitch-black night, and a man was staring at it with hatred.
"You will eventually atone for your sins with your filthy life!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The Hantengu's pupils contracted, and its body was completely reduced to nothingness amidst the Ember.
At the same time.
Asuramaru, still holding the sword, heard a system notification in his mind.
[Ding! Detected that Upper Rank Four Hantengu experienced intense negative emotions as he was dying. Congratulations on gaining 20,000 Emotion Points!]
Having gained 15,000 Demon Power, he will automatically Nourishment 30% to his sword master Tanjiro!
The notification tone has ended.
After slaying Hantengu, Tanjiro once again felt the abundant power within his body, which he hadn't experienced in a long time. Nourished by this power, his limbs and bones rapidly grew stronger.
However, this time he didn't say thank you.
The boost from defeating the Upper Rank Four alone far exceeds several times the effort gained over the past month!
Akaza not far away, was shocked. His pupils contracted, and his smile vanished. "He actually killed Hantengu all by himself?! And that face..."
Looking at this face from this angle...
These are clearly Muzan slayers that Demon Slayer Muzan ordered to be killed!
Based on previous intelligence, his strength is seriously mismatched; he was able to hunt down Hantengu, the Upper Rank Four himself.
That alone is enough to prove their strength.
Besides, why did this guy's fighting spirit suddenly increase so rapidly?!
Even though Akaza had only met Tanjiro for the first time, he immediately labeled him as eerie and became very tense.
Chapter 75 Getsuga Tensho
On the other side, Kyojuro Rengoku, upon seeing Tanjiro appear safely and kill Hantengu, wore an owl-like, righteous expression.
He smiled broadly and praised her generously.
"Well done, young man!"
Even Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was usually not good at expressing himself, turned around and muttered, "Well done!"
In response to their praise, Tanjiro replied very earnestly, "Thank you very much for your compliments!"
Having said that, the Demon Power had been completely infused into his body, and his strength was once again elevated to a new level.
In the past, encountering Akaza might have been a big problem, but that was then. Now he's terrifyingly strong!
The Nichirin Blade in his hand moved as he pleased.
But Asuramaru, still holding the sword, warned, "You can only maintain your Demonification for a maximum of half an hour now, but there's only half the time left. Let's finish this quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro also came to his senses.
Turning his head to look at Akaza not far away, he held the sword in one hand, and flames instantly covered the blade.
Akaza isn't stupid either.
Having already learned of some of its abilities, he immediately made a decisive decision, getting into position and charging towards the Wind and Flame Pillars not far in front of him.
The plan is to kill them both as quickly as possible!
"It's a pity, but you two, Kyojuro, should just die!"
"Destructive Death - Air Type!"
Raise both hands, gathering a special power.
With a single punch, he struck the air, creating an invisible shockwave that blasted directly towards where Kyojuro and his companion were.
Upon seeing this Kyojuro Rengoku immediately raised his Nichirin Blade, spun the blade, and shouted, "Flame Breathing - Fourth Form - Blooming Flame Undulation!"
The blade was burning with flames, but unlike Tanjiro's flames, these flames were only intensely hot, while Tanjiro's flames were warm!
It's like the difference between fire and the sun.
This slash also created a vortex of flames, completely deflecting these invisible impacts.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, standing behind him, also lunged forward, gripping his Nichirin Blade tightly in both hands, and swiftly moved to the side, unleashing "Wind Breathing - First Form - Dust Whirlwind Slash!"
The blade spun along with his body, transforming into a horizontal Tornado that hurtled straight towards Akaza, who was confronting Kyojuro Rengoku, from the side.
Suddenly, he leaped into the air.
"Disorder!"
In an instant, he threw countless punches, and a large number of dense shockwaves descended from the sky, which was witnessed by Sanemi Shinazugawa below.
He stopped what he was doing, took a deep breath, and changed his sword form. "Wind Breathing - Ninth Form - Idaten Typhoon!"
He leaped upwards, the hurricane-like force of the blade enveloping him, the massive and Sharpness Wind Blade colliding head-on with the Disorder from the chaotic attack!
The two sides traded blows.
Tanjiro didn't have time to think and immediately rushed to help, raising his Asuramaru and slashing out.
In an instant.
A jet-black crescent-shaped slash shot skyward!
However, as he unleashed his attack, Tanjiro asked with some confusion, "Asuramaru, what should you call this move?"
This left Asuramaru, who was holding the sword, completely stumped.
What's it called?
You ask me? I'm not asking anyone. I can't exactly call it the basic application of Demon Power.
After thinking about it, I replied anyway.
"Getsuga Tensho!"
"So that's its name?"
Tanjiro understood the situation and single-handedly rushed forward, wielding his twin swords, towards the direction of the battle.
But in Asuramaru's mind, which was filled with the sword, she could only imagine Tanjiro shouting Getsuga Tensho. Doesn't that feel a bit too incongruous...?
At the same time.
Tanjiro also joined the battle.
This time, it's three against one!
Even Akaza felt immense pressure. The Wind and Flame Pillars were already strong, and then there was Tanjiro, who was even stronger than him.
With the combined efforts of the three, it could even be suppressed.
Not long after.
His body was covered with countless knife wounds, and blood kept flowing out, making it difficult for the wounds to heal.
More importantly...
As soon as that guy arrived, the two pillars, who were already seriously injured, immediately became energetic again.
They have absolutely no fear of getting hurt.
However, its self-healing ability is continuously declining, and if this continues, it won't be long before it dies.
It will die at the hands of these three!
No, we have to escape!
Staying here won't kill that Demon Slayer!
As long as the green hills remain, there's always hope for a fire!
Facing the incoming Wind Blade, Akaza swiftly retreated, his eyes scanning the surroundings for an opportunity to break through.
Behind him, Kyojuro Rengoku had already drawn his sword and was slashing down, "Flame Breathing - Third Form - Raging Flame, All Things!"
A slash carrying blazing flames severed Akaza's arm in an instant, but the arm quickly regenerated.
However, the rate of regeneration is gradually slowing down.
In addition, it can clearly sense that the body is rapidly losing control!
No... we can't delay any longer.
The three on the opposite side were doing the same.
Kyojuro Rengoku assumed a fighting stance, holding his swords at his sides, his aura condensed and flowing from his heart to his limbs and bones.
"Flame Breathing: Ultimate Technique - Ninth Form - Purgatory!"
Its own flames erupted, condensing into a giant fire dragon, which tore through the earth and rushed out like a train.
Seeing this, Akaza also raised his hands, assumed a fighting stance, and shouted, "Destructive Death - Annihilation Type!"
An invisible shockwave mingled with the raging flames.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sanemi Shinazugawa leaped forward, aiming directly above the neck, and shouted, "One breath! Wind Breathing - Tenth Form - Cold Autumn Falling-Mountain Wind!"
With a single slash, a hurricane swept in.
At the same time, it circled around and slashed down towards Akaza's neck.
Tanjiro quickened his pace.
"Dance of the Fire God - Dragon Sun Halo!"
All three attacked simultaneously.
Kyojuro Rengoku met it head-on. The hurricane that was heading straight for his neck was blocked by him raising his hand, forcing it to shift its position and strike his right shoulder.
Their movements were now restricted.
Tanjiro could have finished him off with a single strike, but just as the blow was about to land, Akaza exerted his strength.
He used all his strength to strike Tanjiro behind him with his right hand.
It clashed with its blade.
The fist was cleaved in an instant, but the shockwave also sent Tanjiro flying.
"Get out of my way!"
Akaza roared, unleashing his full power in this desperate situation, and turned to smash his two fists at the two people in front of him.
They repelled the two pillars of wind and fire.
He immediately stepped back, using all his strength to heal his arm, and turned to look in the direction of the train.
"Destructive Death - Disorder!"
"Not good!"
Tanjiro rushed to defend himself, but the Wind and Flame Pillars arrived first, saying, "Leave this to us, you go and kill that Upper Ranks!"
"I see!"
Tanjiro, swords in hand, watched Akaza, who had already escaped some distance, and knew it would be difficult to catch up.
He could only lift Asuramaru, pour all the Demon Power he could muster into it, and then slash down with his sword.
"Getsuga Tensho!!!"
Chapter 76 Diamond-Tier Draw
In an instant.
A crescent-shaped slash several meters long tore through the earth.
In an instant.
The Akaza, who was fleeing. When Akaza sensed the danger and turned around, he hurriedly fought with all his might in the face of the dark crescent-shaped slash.
He leaped and flipped his body over.
