Slaying Upper Rank Six / Not One Coin Less!

Holding the sword with both hands, the flames on the blades erupted completely, condensing into a ferocious dragon around it, its size several times larger than before!

Gyutaro drew his conclusion at a glance.

I can't block that move!

Next, I'll definitely be beheaded by this move... Ume's already gone far away, so I can die in peace now...

"Are you kidding me!"

Roaring, he unleashed countless crimson slashes with the two Blood Scythe in his hands in an instant.

But in the end, it was just a final struggle.

Tanjiro, on the other hand, finally moved, wielding two swords and using a unique movement technique, clearly similar to the Constant Flux.

With each twist of his body, the fiery dragon surrounding him grew larger, until it engulfed him!

It itself transformed into a giant dragon with outstretched claws!

It annihilated all the bloody slashes, like a blazing sun and a rainbow, instantly engulfing Gyutaro in front of it!

Spinning, the twin blades slashed across his neck in an instant, and after spinning once, he drifted to the ground.

Behind him Gyutaro's head was also completely severed, and his body fell straight to the ground, unable to heal itself, and he could not even control his body.

Asuramaru, who was holding the sword, was stunned.

"When did Tanjiro create this sword style? I've never seen it before." However, this one looks very similar to Kyojuro Rengoku's Flame Breathing technique, but it is also somewhat different.

But there's no denying that this move is indeed very powerful.

Its power is comparable to that of his own "Water Melody".

As expected of the protagonist.

At the same time.

Daki had already fled to the edge of Yoshiwara and was about to leave the town completely.

But then a figure appeared, blocking its path. The figure held a sword in one hand, chanting, "Wind Breathing - First Form - Dust Whirlwind Slash!"

Chapter 85 Slaying the Upper Rank Six

"Wh... who are you...?"

Daki also noticed the suddenly appearing figure and, without hesitation, controlled the sash on her back to extend forward.

But the figure swung its blade, transforming itself into a horizontal Tornado that attacked.

In the blink of an eye.

He then tore the sash to shreds and, with a single stroke, severed Daki's head completely.

As her head fell to the ground, Daki looked at that retreating figure with her reversed gaze, her thoughts churning and her expression on the verge of collapse.

How... how can they all be so strong...? Is this one a Pillar too...?

I'm not reconciled... We were about to escape... Even my brother did it for me...

Thinking about this, she even burst into tears.

Standing behind her, Sanemi Shinazugawa turned around and looked at the beheaded Daki, also asking a question.

"Are you really Upper Ranks? You're incredibly weak!"

At the same time.

Tanjiro, sword in hand, slowly approached Gyutaro and spoke gently to his severed head.

"You must love your sister very much and be very proud of her, I can feel it..."

Before he could finish speaking...

He was then mercilessly rebuked by Gyutaro.

"What do you know?!"

As it spoke, the blood inside the headless body began to surge, transforming into countless blood-red scythes, as if it were about to self-destruct.

It's clear that Gyutaro intends to self-destruct in order to buy as much time as possible.

In contrast, Tanjiro immediately raised his Nichirin Blade.

But the next moment.

Gyutaro froze, his face filled with disbelief as he shouted.

"Plum!"

As she spoke, her body began to disintegrate and turn to ashes, which meant that Daki had been beheaded.

All that awaits them is death.

Tanjiro, who also noticed this, did not let his guard down and instead muttered something to himself.

"Did Mr. Sanemi make it?"

Seeing the impending self-destruction, Tanjiro ultimately refrained from striking with his blade. Instead, he advised, "You must really want to see your sister one last time, right? I'll take you there."

Upon hearing this, Gyutaro's gaze fell on Tanjiro, and there seemed to be something different in his eyes.

And it was at this moment...

Suddenly, a cat meowed behind them.

Tanjiro immediately realized that it was Mr. Yushiro's cat, and quickly turned around and took out a folding knife from his backpack.

He drew blood from the headless corpse, put it into his backpack, and said.

"Thanks a lot."

With another meow, it disappeared completely from his sight.

Meanwhile, Gyutaro, who had been about to self-destruct, gradually calmed down, looked at Tanjiro, and gritted his teeth.

"Take... me..."

It seemed a little difficult to say this, but Tanjiro immediately noticed and sheathed Asuramaru.

He grabbed Gyutaro's head with both hands and ran straight out of the city, saying, "Don't worry about me, I'll make sure you see him one last time!"

The Gyutaro at her waist also made a stammering sound, but unfortunately it was not clear.

A moment later.

Tanjiro also arrived at the edge of the town.

Just then, they saw Sanemi Shinazugawa carrying Daki's head and rushing towards them, when he saw Tanjiro carrying a head as well.

Especially after seeing the numbers in those eyes, he immediately asked.

"Was that demon also Upper Rank Six? Are there any other demons?"

When asked, Tanjiro answered truthfully.

"It's over. Once their heads are severed, they'll die completely. Let them stay together for now, at least for the time being."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Sanemi Shinazugawa glared at him with fierce eyes and angrily rebuked, "You bastard, demons don't deserve your pity!"

That being said...

However, he still managed to throw the head he was holding away, which Tanjiro caught steadily.

Sanemi Shinazugawa turned away, choosing to leave rather than see him, while Tanjiro watched his retreating figure.

"Thank you, Mr. Sanemi!"

With that, he placed the two heads he was holding on the ground at the edge of the street, and then silently hid to the side.

Listening to their conversation, watching them gradually turn to ashes and completely disappear from this world!

Looking at Gyutaro and the others, Tanjiro thought of his own siblings, but when he turned his head to look at Nezuko in the wooden box behind him...

His eyes held only unwavering determination!

"Nezuko, your brother will definitely turn you back into a human!"

And in the knife.

The system notification sounded in Asuramaru's mind.

[Ding! Upper Rank Six detected. Gyutaro experienced intense negative emotions before his death. Gain 10,000 Emotion Points!]

Upper Rank Six has been detected. Daki experienced intense negative emotions before her death. 5000 Emotion Points have been gained!

Muzan Kibutsuji detected, generating intense negative emotions, gaining 5000 Emotion Points!

[Having gained 11,000 Demon Power, 30% of Nourishment will be given back to the sword master!]

As the system notification tone faded.

Tanjiro's body was once again filled with immense Demon Power, and his physical abilities increased rapidly at a visible rate.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Tanjiro's body has now been strengthened to the point that it can withstand swords, making his body as tough as steel!

Strength, speed, endurance... and so on, have all long surpassed the limits that humans can reach!

Even before the Transparent World has been opened.

However, Asuramaru estimated that once Demonification, he would be able to fight Muzan to a Muzan.

Let Tanjiro develop a bit more, then killing Muzan will be inevitable!

However, given that guy's personality, he'll definitely hide in the Infinity Castle and only come out when Tanjiro dies of old age, so we still need to lure him out.

That requires two prerequisites.

One of its goals is to become a perfect being, and to achieve this, it needs to eat Nezuko, which can overcome sunlight.

Having Nezuko as bait isn't enough.

After Muzan could wait a hundred years before coming out to devour it, so another essential item was a drug to turn demons back into humans!

If you Muzan emerge from Muzan, you'll miss the chance to become a perfect being, and demons will have no place to stand in the future!

Even Muzan exception.

But if he comes out, Tanjiro at that time could kill you instantly!

If you were Muzan, what would you do?

Even though it's cowardly, it's still quite possible that it would risk devouring Nezuko in order to become a perfect creature.

As for the worst-case scenario...

If this guy is really going to stick to hiding forever, then there's nothing we can do but try to accumulate as much Emotion Points as possible and pin our hopes on the system.

The system then spoke up.

"Ding! Give me 100,000 Emotion Points, and I'll open a portal to the Infinity Castle for you, sending you directly to Muzan Kibutsuji!"

Upon hearing this, Asuramaru stopped in Bengbu.

"You know how to sell..."

Chapter 86 Not a single penny less!

"System, I'm glad you told me this, but I really don't like your price..."

"Ding! 100,000. Not a single cent less, and don't even think about me teleporting you!"

After that, the system went silent.

They've got me figured out, haven't they?!

Asuramaru's lips twitched slightly.

Outside world.
