And this guy is definitely not someone they can handle!
Without a second thought, he immediately controlled the several sashes on his back and swung them forward. The sashes were so fast that a faint sound of air being torn apart could be heard.
But in Tanjiro's eyes, it was slow as if it had stopped, and he could only see Tanjiro holding the sword in both hands.
"Dance of the Fire God - Scorching Bone Blazing Sun!"
The spinning blade, carrying raging flames, slashed out several fiery vortexes, cutting through the incoming sashes!
It hurts!
Daki felt an excruciating pain, as if her body were being burned by flames, at the spot where her sash had been severed, and it was extremely difficult for it to heal on its own—all of which matched the intelligence reports.
"You brat!"
Raising his arms, he controlled the sash to continue reaching out.
But Tanjiro had already arrived in front of him, swung a commonplace sword forward, and the two passed each other by.
When Tanjiro's feet touched the ground.
The head of the Daki behind it fell into its own hand, and the headless body collapsed to the ground.
"Wh... what... how did my vision..." Only then did Daki realize that she had been beheaded!
Moreover, the excruciating pain made it groan involuntarily.
Tanjiro slowly turned around, a hint of doubt in his mind as he wondered, "Is this demon really Upper Ranks?"
I feel its strength is perhaps only comparable to one of the clones of the Hantengu.
Tanjiro's eyes were fixed on the beheaded Daki, but he remained vigilant, given the example of Hantengu.
This guy in front of me might just be a clone!
When Tanjiro saw that the demon was still alive even after its neck was severed, he became even more certain of his guess.
He immediately asked himself this question.
"Asuramaru, can you sense the location of this demon's true form?"
Before he could finish speaking...
Then they saw the beheaded Daki, and a hideous demon with dark green hair suddenly appeared on her flawless white body.
It was none other than Gyutaro, also Upper Rank Six!
Seeing this, Tanjiro, who was not far away, pushed off with his feet and charged forward, unleashing a slash with his sword bursting with flames.
Meanwhile, Gyutaro had completely separated from Daki's body, wielding two blood-red scythes and slashing forward with a ferocious expression.
"Flying Blood Sickles!"
In an instant.
Numerous blood slashes came crashing down, blocking all escape routes like a spider web, and as thin as cicada wings like blades!
Tanjiro had some experience dealing with demons that used blood, and he immediately drew his sword to cut off all the blood-related attacks coming at him.
The slashes then turned into ordinary blood and fell to the ground.
"Such Sharpness blade! For Lord Muzan to want to kill you so Muzan, you must be an exceptionally talented person. I'm so envious... Ah... I'm so envious..."
Seeing that the blood slashes were ineffective, Gyutaro immediately manipulated them to change direction in the air, spinning like boomerangs around Tanjiro.
Even after blood leaves the body, can the movement of blood still be controlled?
Tanjiro thought to himself.
This time, he did not seek Asuramaru's power; he wanted to use his own strength to kill an Upper Ranks Moon demon fair and square!
Meanwhile, Daki to the side, had her head reattached to her head, and the severed area was slowly healing.
At the same time.
It was still directing its clones, scattered in various locations, "Eat everyone, then immediately return to my side!"
Meanwhile, the clone underground was about to devour the humans.
Suddenly, a Boar's Head monster sprang out, wielding two swords and roaring, "Hahaha... Pig charge! Pig charge!"
Remember, the one who killed you was me Inosuke- sama!
The cave was filled with a large number of sashes, intricately arranged in various places, with human silhouettes on them.
And from one end of the sash grew eyes and a mouth, looking at Inosuke had suddenly appeared.
"Is it Demon Slayer? Damn it!"
The main body also noticed this situation and immediately ordered, "Kill that Demon Slayer quickly, and come to me immediately after he has eaten someone!"
Upon receiving the order, the clone immediately launched a fierce attack.
Unfortunately, Inosuke is equally formidable now, wielding dual swords and holding his own against Inosuke!
For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.
And in the Infinity Castle.
Muzan also noticed the intense emotional fluctuations of Daki and the other girl, and when he turned his gaze towards them...
Then they saw the three people locked in fierce combat.
"They appeared so quickly? But why are they here, still fighting with Gyutaro?!"
Chapter 84 Self-created Sword Techniques!
Why weren't you notified me immediately?
It's clearly too late to summon Upper Ranks reinforcements now, so they have no choice but to abandon these two.
He immediately turned to look at Nakime behind him.
"Summon all Upper Ranks immediately and surround and kill this Demon Slayer!"
"I understand, Muzan."
Behind her Nakime, who resembled Sadako, holding a biwa (a type of Chinese lute). Beneath her long, black hair was a normal face, except for her eyes.
It's not two, but rather a single, enormous eye that has been merged into one!
As he plucked the pipa in his hand, the Infinity Castle began to move and transform.
Meanwhile, Muzan Kibutsuji continued to watch the battle!
On the other side.
Tanjiro, wielding his sword in one hand, calmly and swiftly severed the incoming blood-red slashes.
Then he kept walking.
He immediately rushed towards where Gyutaro was, while making guesses in his mind.
Could this guy be the real thing?
Or does it mean that both people must be beheaded to kill them?
Setting aside his doubts for the moment, Tanjiro lunged forward and leaped into the air, shouting, "Dance of the Fire God - Fake Rainbow!"
Seeing this, Gyutaro immediately plunged his twin scythes into Tanjiro's neck, but the next moment Tanjiro abruptly disappeared.
Behind him, directly above, Tanjiro held two swords in his hands.
"Dance of the Fire God - Fire Chariot!"
He flipped his body in mid-air, swung the burning Asuramaru in his hand, and slashed fiercely at Gyutaro's neck.
Oh no, it's behind us...
Gyutaro immediately turned around and swung the two scythes in his hands, but it was too late.
Fortunately, Daki intervened, her sash attacking from all directions, delaying Tanjiro's strike.
Gyutaro was given enough time.
Even so.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
Tanjiro was seen retreating, a bloody gash appearing on his left forearm.
Gyutaro's neck also had a gruesome wound, and the flesh inside could be clearly seen slowly healing itself.
So, wounds from that knife are indeed difficult to heal on their own? And it seems there's some undetectable toxin that corrodes the body...
Gyutaro recalled the memories transmitted through blood and remembered these abilities one by one.
But the more it thought about it, the more powerless it felt.
This guy didn't even activate that special state; if he had, they definitely wouldn't have lasted long!
Meanwhile, Daki was still crying and pleading beside him, "Brother, let's kill him together!"
Gyutaro didn't pay much attention to this.
After all, it's not like my sister has just been a bit slow on the uptake for a while now.
It is still analyzing the situation.
Ultimately, there is only one conclusion: even without activating that special state, this Demon Slayer is beyond their ability to fight!
But escaping from here is impossible.
There is only one way out now: death. It's a desperate situation.
But that's the truth!
Even so, Gyutaro glanced at his sister Daki and finally spoke resolutely.
"You go first, I'll take care of things here!"
Daki behind him wanted to say something, but was ultimately silenced by a glare from Gyutaro, and immediately fled to the outer perimeter.
Tanjiro initially wanted to give chase, but when he saw the direction it fled in, he stopped and turned to look at Gyutaro in front of him, speaking righteously.
"I am Kamado Tanjiro, the Sun Hashira, and I will kill you right here!"
"You can give it a try!"
Gyutaro wielded his scythes with incredible speed, unleashing countless crimson slashes while simultaneously creating distance between himself and the attackers.
They wanted to delay Tanjiro as much as possible, giving Daki enough time to escape!
Faced with numerous slashes, Tanjiro showed no intention of retreating; instead, he drew another Nichirin Blade from his waist.
At the same time, a torrent of water burst forth from the Nichirin Blade, "Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance!"
His figure meandered and coiled as if treading on flowing water, his twin swords instantly slicing through the blood-red attacks coming at him, and he arrived in front of Gyutaro in a flash.
The twin swords slashed down fiercely.
In contrast Gyutaro wielded Blood Scythe in both hands, rapidly swinging it in front of him.
"Blood Demon Art - Rampant Arc!"
The blood threads slashed by the sickle enveloped him like a spider web, forming a blood-red barrier.
Tanjiro's twin swords landed on it, and he was sent flying backward by the violent tremor.
When Gyutaro stopped, he discovered that one of the Blood Scythe in his hand had been severed, but fortunately it could be repaired with blood.
Hey hey hey...
This guy is a monster.
The best way is to knock the blade out of his hand, but that's easier said than done!
When it turned its head.
Tanjiro had already assumed his stance, holding his swords in both hands, and his Nichirin Blade was bursting with brilliant flames!
Flame-like Demon Slayer Mark reappeared on his forehead.
"Dance of the Fire God: Ultimate Technique - Purgatory Dragon!"
