The Lure Worked / A Fierce Battle Against Upper Rank Six

But this time, Tanjiro felt extremely powerless after being rejected.

On one side is Inosuke, poised to strike, and on the other side is their side. The choice is in his hands, and he feels torn between the two.

Although he could use his status as the sword master to command Asuramaru, he wouldn't do so.

Should we really let this opportunity slip by?

Meanwhile, in Asuramaru's mind, a system notification sounded: [Ding! Tanjiro is experiencing intense negative emotions. 1000 Emotion Points gained!]

Upon hearing this, Asuramaru never expected it to cause him such a huge blow.

On second thought, it's still best to avoid any unforeseen changes and end things as soon as possible, as seen with the Mugen Train.

The plot has changed!

There was a moment of silence.

Just as Tanjiro was about to rush to Ogimoto House, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Asuramaru, still holding the sword, gritted her teeth and said, "Seeing how strong your desire is this time, I'll reluctantly help you this once..."

Chapter 82 Successful Seduction

"Really? Asuramaru, but I don't want you to force yourself to do something you don't want to do!"

We are equals, and I am not your master...

Despite the good news, Tanjiro remained calm and spoke to himself in a quiet tone.

He never considered Asuramaru as his own; their relationship was always that of companions and close friends!

Asuramaru, who could clearly sense this, chuckled.

"Then just assume I did it voluntarily."

"Thank you so much, Asuramaru!"

Tanjiro also understood Asuramaru's words, smiled gently and then quickly walked to an empty alley on the side of the street.

Immediately, Tanjiro drew his Asuramaru blade from his waist, and black smoke billowed out, transforming into a stunningly beautiful figure in the air.

This time, however, she changed her original attire, wearing a simple and unadorned kimono, and even her face was slightly renovated.

He looks more like a naive teenager.

When Zenitsu finally saw Asuramaru again, whom he had been longing for, he couldn't wait to pounce on her.

But in the end, he suppressed his excitement and instead solemnly extended his right hand, saying somewhat shyly.

"Um... I'm Zenitsu Agatsuma... Miss Asuramaru, would you like to be my friend...?"

After saying that, her expression immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Tanjiro, who was standing to the side, was also a little stunned and wanted to say something.

But Asuramaru spoke first.

"Let me correct you, you've got one thing wrong, I'm actually male."

Those ruby-like eyes looked at Zenitsu, who was standing there in a daze, and admired his expression, which was on the verge of collapse.

Upon hearing this, Zenitsu turned ashen-faced.

Looking like he'd been thoroughly humiliated, one person muttered to himself, "Eh?... Male... Male? Asuramaru is male..."

Seeing this, Tanjiro rushed forward and asked with concern, "Zenitsu, are you alright?"

No matter how they called out to him, or even pushed him with their hands, Zenitsu didn't respond at all. He just stood there blankly with a look of utter despair on his face.

"No... it's impossible... how could it be a man...?"

Seeing Zenitsu's state, Tanjiro could only sigh. He had been afraid that Zenitsu would find it hard to accept the truth.

But I never expected it to turn out like this.

However, time was of the essence, and there was no time to deal with the dazed Zenitsu. Tanjiro took the half-empty bottle of Rare Blood from his body.

He then turned around and went to Asuramaru, handing him the bottle.

"Please, Asuramaru!"

After receiving the blood, Asuramaru didn't waste any words and walked straight out of the alley, standing on the street.

It immediately attracted the attention of many people on the street.

"Where did this child come from? So cute..."

Is it a boy or a girl?

"I really want to take him home, but where is he going?"

"That direction leads to Kyogoku House!"

Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Asuramaru walked straight into the Kyogoku House and, in a secluded corner where no one was watching, dripped blood onto his arm.

Then, as if by chance, he entered one of the rooms on the third floor and saw several geishas dressing up inside.

He quickly apologized.

"Sorry, I've entered the wrong room..."

After saying that, he turned and left, much to the astonishment of the geishas.

Although the commotion wasn't loud, it caught the attention of Daki in a nearby room, who immediately pushed open the door and looked down into the corridor.

Smelling the Rare Blood, I initially thought it was that ugly monster again, but to my surprise, this time it was an absolutely stunning young girl I had never seen before!

Compared to her, the courtesans I'd eaten before were nothing.

Moreover, she has a Rare Blood!

With that thought in mind, he immediately pushed open the door and walked out, a subtle, enigmatic smile playing on his lips.

"What an adorable little one! Did you come to the wrong room? Why don't you come and sit here for a while?"

Standing in the corridor Asuramaru saw that the fish had taken the bait, and turned around and shyly refused, "No... no!"

I'm leaving now...

He then ran down the stairs as if fleeing.

Daki didn't choose to make her move here, since the geishas across the corridor had all come out of their rooms and were looking this way.

When they caught Daki's gaze, the geishas quickly retreated to their rooms, afraid of displeasing her.

Daki didn't pay any attention to the geishas.

Instead, she looked in the direction Asuramaru had left, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue to lick her lips.

"How could I possibly let you escape?"

At the same time.

Asuramaru had already run out of Kyogoku House, paused briefly on the street, and then disappeared into the crowd along the street.

"Zenitsu, we should go!"

Tanjiro turned around to give Zenitsu a warning, but Zenitsu remained rooted to the spot; it was too late now.

There was no time to wake Zenitsu. Tanjiro gritted his teeth and said, "Zenitsu, be careful!"

After saying that, he turned and chased after Asuramaru in the direction he had left without looking back.

Follow the pre-planned route.

Tanjiro followed from the shadows, while Asuramaru strolled leisurely through the crowd, stopping occasionally to watch the spectacle.

He looked like a tourist who had just arrived, but he was moving quite fast.

In less than fifteen minutes, we had left the bustling city center and arrived at the quiet edge of Yoshiwara, the city that never sleeps.

This place is sparsely populated.

The night was dark and windy, and even electric lights were extremely scarce, making it seem out of place in this city that never sleeps. At night, no one even stays at home here.

But this also provided Tanjiro and his companions with an excellent location for their battle.

As Asuramaru walked alone down the dimly lit street, he could clearly sense that Daki had caught up with him.

Just a moment later.

Before they even reached the meeting point, Daki had already leaped from the rooftop onto the street, blocking Asuramaru's path.

She was no longer dressed as a courtesan; instead, she wore a tight-fitting black bodysuit with a cherry-pink sash wrapped around her abdomen.

Four tentacle-like ribbons extended from her back!

Her beautiful face was adorned with makeup, and her left cheek was decorated with a cherry blossom pattern. Her light green eyes were marked with numbers.

Upper Rank Six!

He walked up to Asuramaru, his lips curving into an uncontrollable smile.

"I don't eat withered old men or ugly people, but this is the first time I've tasted such a beautiful little thing like you..."

You're so cute, it even makes me feel a little protective of you~

Chapter 83 Fierce Battle on Upper Rank Six

Upon seeing the Upper Rank Demon Daki, he even verbally harassed her like that.

To be honest, Asuramaru's expression was as calm as still water. Faced with its graceful figure, he felt no ripples in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.

Daki wasn't surprised that Asuramaru showed no fear; instead, she continued to tease him with a smile.

"You're Demon Slayer, aren't you? You deliberately lured me here, so there must be other Demon Slayer hiding in the shadows. Judging from your fearless attitude, could it be that a Pillar has arrived?"

It's no use. You know, I've already personally killed seven Pillars, they're genuine Upper Ranks!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

On the eaves to the right of Asuramaru, a figure carrying a wooden box appeared. The person was none other than Tanjiro, who was wearing a fox mask.

With his back to the moonlight, his aura unconsciously emanated from him.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived.

Daki immediately sensed his powerful aura, but that wasn't the point; the point was the guy's outfit.

And the fox mask on his face.

During the previous meeting in the Infinity Castle, Muzan had already shared some of his memories with everyone through blood.

The person before me perfectly overlapped with the figure in my memory under the moonlight!

Now, Daki was starting to panic a little. If it really was that Demon Slayer, she definitely couldn't defeat him!

His smug expression from just a moment ago has vanished.

His gaze then turned serious.

On the street, Asuramaru also raised his head and spoke.

"Take it down, Tanjiro!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Its body disintegrated, turning into black mist that merged into its original form at its waist.

Tanjiro drew Asuramaru from his waist, leaped from the rooftop onto the street, and stared directly at Upper Rank Six before him.

His thoughts at that moment were very simple.

Wherever Asuramaru points, I'll strike!

Holding swords in both hands, facing Daki before him, Tanjiro didn't hesitate to push off with his feet and lunge forward.

The blade of Asuramaru in his hand blazed with flames, illuminating the dark street!

At the same time.

When Daki saw the man disappear, she already knew that he was the Muzan Demon Slayer that Lord Muzan wanted to kill!
