Unlike in the original story, Tengen Uzui seemed to have been influenced by Tanjiro this time. As he and the other two fought with all their might to kill Gyokko...
His entire body began to burn, his heart beat abnormally fast, and a distinctively shaped mark gradually appeared on his forehead.
"Hahaha... The power just keeps pouring out! I could take on ten of you now!" Tengen laughed wildly, swinging with both hands as his golden dual blades hacked at Gyokko's neck at blistering speed.
He was so fast that his opponent took two seconds to react.
"One, three, seven, five, wei, jin-I've already deciphered that filthy score of yours!"
As he spoke, Tengen had already landed nearly a hundred strikes on the same spot.
His opponent's neck was halfway severed. Just two more seconds-no, one! He could behead this Upper Rank Demon.
"Together!" Gyomei's and Muichiro's blades fell almost simultaneously.
Crack! Bone snapped, and the enormous head fell through the air. Even as it tumbled, Gyokko's face still held a look of shock and disbelief.
"No! Impossible! You people shouldn't be this strong! Something's wrong here. The intelligence must have been mistaken!"
"Lord Muzan! Please save me! I still have so many works of art to finish! I'm still useful! I..."
"You talk too much. Hurry up and die." Muichiro became a wisp of white smoke, silently appearing before the head.
He flicked it upward with his Nichirin Blade. His wrist shook repeatedly, steel flashed, and he sheathed his blade, all in one fluid motion.
Gyokko was still cursing when, a second later, his head split into tiny fragments and vanished into the sky.
Tengen strolled over with his dual blades on his shoulder, grumbling, "You brat, stealing the credit when I wasn't looking. That was the main kill!
