A great battle loomed / Facing the top three Upper Ranks

"Don't worry about it, it was my rudeness."

The village chief waved his hand, then said seriously.

"I know why you came here. The blacksmiths have begun to leave in an orderly manner. Everything from now on is in your hands!"

I'll be leaving the village soon too. I hope we'll meet again in the Demon Slayer Corps.

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Asuramaru.

As for Asuramaru, the swordsman, he felt countless eyes on him the moment he entered the Swordsmith Village.

This feeling is truly indescribable...

Tanjiro, upon hearing this, looked at the thin, elderly village chief in front of him and replied with a smile.

"It definitely will!"

"Then I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave now." The village chief stood up and left with the two swordsmiths behind him.

Tanjiro and the others were left inside the room.

Time flew by as we discussed how to arrange the personnel.

Until dusk faded.

Night falls!

At this moment, the Infinity Castle opened its passage to the Swordsmith Village to the sound of Nakime's biwa!

The Upper Ranks also poured in.

This passage is located in the jungle outside the Swordsmith Village, some distance from the village itself.

In the Upper Ranks arc, Douma looked at Kokushibo beside him, lightly waving his folding fan and asking with a smile, "Would you like to come with me, Akaza?"

Chapter 89 The Great Battle Is About to Begin

Get out of my way!

Akaza's fist hardened again; every second he spent with this guy would infuriate him!

Fortunately, at this moment...

Kokushibo stepped forward.

"Akaza, you have overstepped your bounds!"

Faced with this condescending rebuke, Akaza's forehead veins bulged, and his gaze towards Kokushibo was filled with rage.

"I will kill you one day!"

This threat only elicited a whimper from Kokushibo.

"Then good luck!"

A brief silence fell over the room.

Meanwhile, Gyokko swayed his body to the side, his numerous arms moving in unison, and gave a wicked smile.

"I found this place first, everyone, follow me."

The four demons walked ahead, with Kaigaku following closely behind, not daring to make a sound for fear of attracting the attention of the four guys in front.

One of them was unhappy!

In the Swordsmith Village.

Asuramaru, who was holding the sword, clearly sensed that demons were approaching, and five of them came at once, including his old acquaintance Akaza.

There are also two demons whose strength surpasses its own!

In an instant, Asuramaru had already guessed it.

It seems that Kokushibo and Douma have also arrived, and those two also possess Upper Rank Demon auras; they should be Gyokko.

As for the other one, he's a bit weak, probably not even as good as Daki. Could it be that guy Kaigaku?

The situation was analyzed in a very simple way.

Even facing such a lineup, Asuramaru remained completely calm. With this lineup, Muzan he could even put up a fight against Muzan.

What do a few Upper Ranks matter?!

However, a reasonable reminder was still given.

"Tanjiro, five Upper Ranks are coming from the woods directly in front of you!"

Five Upper Ranks?!

Tanjiro was stunned for a moment, and said something in shock, which attracted the attention of the people around him, but they didn't have time to ask anything.

Several figures were already approaching from the dark woods in front of them.

Leading the group was Kokushibo, dressed in samurai attire, with a sword at his waist, long red hair, and six eyes!

Following closely behind is Douma, dressed as the leader of the Seven-Colored Eyes Cult, holding a folding Douma, and Akaza is also among them.

Gyokko was also behind, but what angered Kaigaku the most was Kaigaku's figure when Zenitsu saw it in this state.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and his hand gripping the knife trembled.

Inosuke, standing beside him, was still somewhat confused.

Are you alright?

Zenitsu, however, did not give an answer. Instead, he stared intently at Kaigaku's figure at the back, his eyes bloodshot.

If the old man saw it like this, it would probably kill itself to atone for its sins!

And on the other side...

Kokushibo's six eyes all turned to Tanjiro simultaneously. At this moment, its eyes could no longer see anyone else; it was focused on this boy who might be the Yoriichi or possessed by a ghost.

My long-dormant heart began to beat again.

"Your name is Kamado Tanjiro, right?"

When asked, Tanjiro readily responded.

"Yes!"

This left everyone present completely baffled.

Kokushibo wanted to say something more, but Muzan's urging Muzan in his mind, and he stopped himself from speaking.

He then changed his mind.

"Let me personally test whether your Sun Breathing is up to standard!"

As he spoke, his figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, he was already in front of Tanjiro, "Moon Breathing - First Form - Dark Moon, Night Palace!"

A swift and powerful horizontal Draw-Cut, the blade drawn from its sheath, the blade's energy slicing through it, accompanied by bright crescent moons of varying sizes.

"So fast!"

Faced with this sudden attack, Tanjiro instantly drew Asuramaru from his waist and held the sword in both hands.

"Dance of the Fire God - Blazing Sun, Scarlet Mirror!"

He slashed forward in a sharp arc, the blazing flames tearing through the air and soothing people's hearts.

It really is the Sun Breathing!

Kokushibo was completely certain of this.

The blades clashed.

The next moment.

A deep gash was instantly slashed into the blade in Kokushibo's hand. If it weren't for his skillful application of force, the blade would probably have been severed in two!

He took several steps back, looked at the shattered blade in his hand, and couldn't help but say, "You can cut through my Kyokoku Kamusari so easily?"

As she spoke, the blade in her hand slowly began to heal, and she looked at Tanjiro as she continued.

"Although you also mastered the Sun Breathing, your swordsmanship is far inferior to Yoriichi's, but your physical strength is unprecedented, even surpassing that of demons..."

"Is this all the work of that knife in your hand?"

Tanjiro never received an answer to this question.

Not far away, Douma looked at Asuramaru in Tanjiro's hand with his seven-colored eyes and asked with a smile.

"Huh? Does that knife in your hand harbor Deity? Does that mean heaven and hell both exist?"

"Shut up, you bastard!"

Akaza interrupted him angrily, then looked at Tanjiro with a fierce gaze and roared, "Let's continue the battle we didn't finish last time!"

Douma, standing beside him, chuckled and pressed on with the question.

"So impatient, Akaza?"

Seeing the two bickering, Muzan was about to explode with rage. He immediately transmitted his voice through blood, "Stop wasting time, kill this Demon Slayer right now!"

"Lord Muzan, when have I ever disappointed you? I will kill this Demon Slayer myself~" Douma raised his folding fan, and ice crystals condensed in front of him.

"Blood Demon Art - Crystalline Child!"

As he spoke, an ice doll identical to himself materialized on the folding fan, but only a few tens of centimeters in size!

Even after landing, Douma continued his hand movements, creating one doll after another that appeared in everyone's sight.

"Don't underestimate them because of their small size; the power of their Blood Demon Art is comparable to mine!"

Meanwhile, Akaza was already in position.

"Destructive Death - Compass Needle!"

The three Upper Ranks are poised to strike, their sights set on Tanjiro; this time, they are determined to succeed.

Even Tanjiro felt immense pressure.

Even Gyokko wanted to join the gang fight.

However, Sanemi Shinazugawa and the others also arrived one after another, and the strength of the three Pillars should not be underestimated at this moment!

Seeing Kokushibo gave the order without turning his head.

"Gyokko, Kaigaku killed those three pillars at top speed!"

"Three pillars? What kind of art would they suit?" Gyokko licked his teeth with his two mouths, looking extremely excited.

On the contrary, Kaigaku seemed somewhat guilty.

It wasn't really confident in dealing with the pillar.

But it was at this very moment...

Zenitsu suddenly stepped forward. This time, he wasn't demonic; instead, his face showed determination and anger. He pointed at Kaigaku and addressed the three pillars in front of him.

"Leave that ghost to me to deal with!"

Chapter 90 Facing the First Three Upper Ranks

"Kid, are you sure you can do it?!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa questioned coldly, not holding any hope for this guy.

This time, however, Zenitsu seemed determined. "Shut up! I said I'll kill this guy myself!"

As they spoke, he leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Kaigaku opposite him. At this moment, even a fool could see that there was definitely some unknown relationship between the two of them!

Kaigaku, somewhat excited, stepped forward and sneered, "You useless wretched boy who only knows how to cry and whine, now you actually want to challenge me?!"

Despite the mockery, Zenitsu still retained a sliver of reason. "Why did you become a demon? Don't you know that Grandpa would commit seppuku to atone for your sins?!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Kaigaku then mocked him wantonly, his face full of resentment.
