Akaza felt nothing at all; his head was severed with a single stroke, and he didn't even realize he had been beheaded until he fell to the ground!
"This... how... how is this possible!"
His pupils contracted, and his face showed disbelief.
Its consciousness became blurred, and its fighting spirit had dissipated.
That monster was no longer something it could touch.
It lost!
And it seemed as if a pair of hands were gently stroking his face.
"That's enough, Hakuji- nii."
As that gentle, soothing voice rang out, Akaza looked ahead in disbelief at the figure it couldn't let go of.
After a brief silence, it suddenly threw itself into the girl's arms, bursting into tears and pouring out all its emotions...
In contrast.
Its body gradually disintegrated until it turned to ashes and vanished into the world.
Not far away, Kokushibo could not hide his shock.
Akaza was killed with just one strike?!
But Kokushibo showed no fear whatsoever; it resolutely raised the Kyokoku Kamusari in its hand!
"Moon Breathing - Fourth Form: Catastrophe, Tenman Crescent Moon!" A wide-ranging, crisscrossing slash that could wipe out everything in its path.
Faced with this attack.
Tanjiro, wielding his swords in both hands, charged forward with incredible speed, Dance of the Fire God Kagura: Sunlit Flower Thrust Tu - Flying Wheel Flame!
The blade, engulfed in flames, shortened and became wreathed in rings of fiery light!
He easily shattered all the attacks in front of him.
Then change posture.
"Dance of the Fire God - Dragon Sun Halo: Flame Dance!"
The flames wrapped around the blade transformed into two giant dragons, which instantly engulfed Kokushibo, tearing his body apart.
It was chopped into pieces, its body completely torn apart.
Even his head had been chopped into several pieces!
Yet, its powerful desire prevented its body from collapsing immediately.
But it only lasted a short while before it gave up completely.
Having lived for hundreds of years, did it become a demon out of fear of death or to become stronger? All it wanted was to become you...
Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
This battle also taught it that this world is never short of monsters, and no matter how much it struggles, it is nothing more than a speck of dust...
Until the body completely disintegrates.
All that remained, besides the samurai uniform, was the broken bamboo flute wrapped inside.
Tanjiro took one last look at the spot where the two demons had died, his eyes filled with sorrow, but even more so with determination.
"Asuramaru, where Muzan escape to?!"
Chapter 101 Chasing Muzan
"I'll lead the way for you, stand on me!" Asuramaru didn't waste any words and immediately slipped out of Tanjiro's grasp.
Using the Instant Size Change, the blade instantly expanded to more than ten times its original size, hovering in front of him.
Seeing this, Tanjiro did not hesitate at all, and he leaped up and stood directly on the blade.
"Please, Asuramaru!"
"Stand still, don't fall!"
After saying this, Asuramaru used his Demon Power to Binding Vow the man's legs, firmly fixing him to the blade. Then, with the help of the Demon Power, the blade shot into the sky!
Soaring through the dark night sky.
Follow your senses to track.
Not long after.
They found Muzan Kibutsuji, who had escaped earlier, on the outskirts of the Demon Slayer Corps. He was now fleeing towards the entrance of the Infinity Castle from which he had come.
"Damn it... Kokushibo and Akaza were both killed by that monster, and he only bought me this little bit of time. What a useless piece of trash!"
However, seeing the entrance he was about to reach, Nakime Muzan communicated with Nakime, who was stationed in the Infinity Castle, through blood communication.
"Quickly open the entrance to the Infinity Castle and let me in!"
But in any case.
They received not a single response from Nakime. When Muzan his Blood Demon Art to look at Nakime, he discovered that she had already been controlled by other demons.
"Damn it, none of these damn guys are reliable!" Muzan cursed Muzan, and began to fight for control with all his might.
But it was at this very moment...
A whooshing sound came from behind him, Muzan gave up trying to regain control, instead focusing all his efforts on dodging to an open space to the side.
All I saw was...
A jet-black crescent-shaped slash swept across the spot, leaving a trench in the ground and severing the wall at the end!
They caught up so quickly?!
"Muzan, you can't escape!" Tanjiro shouted coldly from behind.
He held the knife in both hands, already in a fighting stance.
"Dance of the Fire God: Ultimate Technique - Purgatory Dragon Modified!"
All three Breathing Style are activated.
A ferocious and savage fiery dragon completely engulfed itself, and the power it emitted was terrifying!
At such close range.
Muzan could sense that this guy might still be slightly inferior to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, but that difference was already negligible!
Now that we can't go back to Infinity Castle, our only chance is to stall for time as much as possible!
This thought came to mind.
Nine bone whips Muzan rose from Muzan's back, with sharp bone blades growing from their ends!
Under its control, these bone whips were wielded as if they were its own arms, striking forward simultaneously, while both of its arms transformed into fleshy tentacles.
Each arm splits into two tentacles.
They are clearly prepared to withstand the impact!
The next moment.
Tanjiro exerted force with his feet, blood spurted from his nose, and his hands cracked from the immense pressure.
In contrast, the giant fiery dragon that was coiling and circling around itself suddenly had waves of water surging out from its surface, while golden lightning also erupted from the flames on its body!
As Tanjiro charged, the ground cracked.
A winding, fiery dragon cleaved through the earth and charged straight in!
Faced with this move...
Muzan Kibutsuji controlled the bone whip on his back and swung it forward at the same time, the sound of it tearing through the air could even be heard when he exerted his full strength.
Upon touching the dragon.
Without exception, all the bone whips were deflected.
The next moment.
Tanjiro had already arrived, and the giant dragon opened its hideous, blood-red maw and swallowed Muzan Kibutsuji whole.
Tanjiro, who was positioned at the center of the dragon's head, swung his two sharp blades.
"Die, Muzan Kibutsuji!"
Even though he had been devoured and was constantly being scorched by flames, Muzan Kibutsuji still refused to give up.
It raised its arms, which split into four fleshy tentacles, and forcefully grabbed at the two blades.
Its massive, gaping maws on its tentacles opened their sharp teeth, generating a tremendous suction force that seemed intent on forcibly pulling people in and chewing them up!
This move successfully caused Tanjiro's hand to deviate when drawing his sword.
But it still managed to sever all of Muzan's tentacles.
However, just as they were preparing to finish them off in one fell swoop...
Muzan, however, had already used the bone whip on his back to pierce the ground, forcibly pulling himself out of the dragon's mouth.
It now appears to be mangled beyond recognition, but its body is gradually healing itself.
The moment it escaped the dragon's jaws, Muzan turned around and chose to continue its escape, this time heading straight into the dark mountains.
Tanjiro immediately drew his sword and followed closely behind.
The two chased each other.
As Muzan Kibutsuji fled ahead, he glanced at Tanjiro, who was hot on his heels, and couldn't help but ask him in a cold voice.
"Why are you all targeting me? All you ever talk about is avenging your dead parents, brothers, and sisters. Since you've already escaped with your life, isn't that enough?"
"Why can't we just treat being killed by me as an unfortunate natural disaster?!"
These vulgar words successfully enraged Tanjiro.
That's as if to say...
Couldn't you just think of the family members I killed as being blown away by a strong wind?!
Even though Asuramaru knew Muzan's character, he still didn't expect him to be so despicable.
Tanjiro also gained a new understanding of Muzan.
"Muzan, you are a monster who should not exist in this world!"
Upon hearing these words...
Muzan Kibutsuji's expression also turned ferocious as he recalled Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who had almost killed him, and Kamado Tanjiro in Yoriichi Tsugikuni of him!
Their existence is a fallacy that defies common sense!
The real monster isn't me.
It's the two of you!!!
He wanted to roar out loud, but in the end he didn't say it. Instead, he quickened his pace and, relying on his regenerated arms, ran quickly through the forest.
At the same time, it is also necessary to break down the injected drugs. Fortunately, the amount of drugs entering the body is limited, so the impact on the body is not very significant.
The two chased each other.
Asuramaru's expression changed slightly as he held the sword.
They've schemed so much.
I never expected Muzan to be so fast!
In a direct confrontation, Tanjiro in his current form could Muzan defeat Muzan!
But Muzan had no intention of stopping at Muzan.
Moreover, given Tanjiro's current state, his mental and Demon Power are greatly depleted, and he may be forced into a deep sleep within three hours at most.
Even if I take over the body by then.
As for the remaining Demon Power.
It's not necessarily possible to kill Muzan Kibutsuji!
