The ribbon twitched slightly behind Daki, then shot straight toward Tanjiro.
The familiar sound of wind breaking through the air rang out.
Tanjiro braced himself on the ground, trying to move his body.
However, his body seemed to have completely lost its strength and showed no reaction whatsoever.
Tanjiro could only slightly raise his head, watching helplessly as the pink ribbon gradually... densely enlarged in his pupils...
Tanjiro gave a wry smile.
Mr. Kato, even if you just saved yourself, you're still going to die now...
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, and a figure landed in front of Tanjiro.
With a flash of the blade, the incoming ribbon was sliced in two.
Ignoring Tanjiro, the figure pushed off with its foot and charged towards Daki.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...
The clanging sounds echoed incessantly across the battlefield.
Gazing at the figure fighting alongside Daki once again, Tanjiro couldn't help but call out her name.
"I... Inosuke! Cough cough... Ugh!"
This was followed by another bout of violent coughing and vomiting of blood.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several more figures landed in succession, Zenitsu and the others also arrived.
" Tanjiro, are you alright?" Zenitsu looked at Tanjiro, his voice containing both worry and anger.
Tanjiro forced a smile, about to comfort the other person, when he saw one of the other three figures who had arrived with Zenitsu walking towards him.
Not wearing team uniforms? Are they Mr. Uzui's wives? Tanjiro wondered.
Hinatsuru quickly came to Tanjiro's side and began to check on Tanjiro injuries.
He then looked up, frowned, and said, "His injuries are severe; he can't fight any longer! We need to leave this place immediately to treat his wounds!"
"Eh?! Tanjiro's injuries are that serious?" Zenitsu exclaimed in alarm.
Hinatsuru nodded, then turned to Suma, " Suma, take Tanjiro and leave this place immediately. Then, give Tanjiro's injuries a quick bandage. After that, see if you can find a clinic. If you can, take him there for treatment!"
"Okay!" Suma replied, making a move to come over and take Tanjiro away.
Tanjiro checked his injuries and agreed to the other party's suggestion, but still quickly explained the situation:
Wait! That demon is Daki!
She also has an Gyutaro, Mr. Uzui is currently fighting with her brother Gyutaro!
Simply cutting off a person's head won't kill this ghost!
You have to cut off both of their heads at the same time!
"Huh? They're going to cut off two people's heads at the same time? How are we supposed to know when Mr. Uzui will cut off the other person's head?" Zenitsu asked in horror.
Tanjiro said, "Ahem... I don't know about that yet, but you should also be careful, even after you cut off her head, her body can still be attacked. You all need to be very careful about that!"
The group nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
" Suma, take him away quickly!" Hinatsuru looked at Suma.
"Yes!" Suma replied, quickly coming to Tanjiro's side and helping Tanjiro.
This time, Tanjiro did not refuse.
My injuries are really not suitable for me to stay here. Even if I wanted to come back to help, I would have to treat my injuries first.
Zenitsu turned to look at Inosuke, who was fighting Daki in the distance.
He then turned his head to look at the shattered houses and the fractured earth around him.
"I... are we really going to fight a monster like this?" Zenitsu asked hesitantly, his voice trembling slightly.
Upon Makio looked at Zenitsu but did not mock him, even though Zenitsu was a full-fledged member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
She could understand the other person's fear; if they could, who would want to fight such a monster?
"We're not very strong in combat, but we can provide a little support!"
It's highly unlikely that we'll be able to fight the Upper Rank head-on!
So I can only rely on you!
Of course you can choose to run away, but you saw what happened to Tanjiro just now.
If you don't go and help, Inosuke might very well become the next Tanjiro!
Moreover, since there's no more support, Inosuke's fate might be even worse!
"Is it worse..." Zenitsu murmured, looking down.
Hinatsuru glanced at Inosuke and Daki fighting in the distance, then turned to look at Makio.
" Inoko's side is still okay for now. Let's go check with Lord Tengen Lord Tengen first. If everything's alright there, we'll come back!"
Makio nodded and turned to look at Zenitsu.
"I'm leaving this to you!"
After saying that, the two immediately ran towards the direction from which the rumbling sound came from.
"Hey! Wait... wait..." Seeing the two about to leave, Zenitsu hurriedly turned around and raised his hand to try to stop them, but apart from an "hey," the "wait" that followed grew weaker and weaker.
After the two disappeared around the street corner, Zenitsu slowly turned around and looked at Inosuke and Daki who were fighting.
Should I really go up and fight such a monster?
On a rooftop, hundreds of meters from the two battlefields.
Teiichi your legs apart, and place your elbows on your knees.
Left hand hanging down, right hand raised and resting on one's cheek.
With the Wind Field fully activated, it sensed the movements on the battlefield.
As the battle continued, Teiichi's brows gradually furrowed.
Things took an Teiichi turn.
Originally Teiichi, I thought that Tengen Uzui would fight Daki and Gyutaro alone, while the others would play a supporting role.
Alternatively, Tengen Uzui could fight Gyutaro, while the others provide support.
But now...
With such a distance between them, how do they plan to fight?
Are you betting that both Gyutaro and Daki will be beheaded simultaneously?
He turned his head and glanced at Nezuko sitting next to him.
Nezuko still looked like a six or seven-year-old girl, and was eating a taiyaki in small bites.
If Nezuko saw Tanjiro like this, she'd definitely rush over immediately, right?
Noticing Teiichi's gaze, Nezuko looked over curiously.
The two stared at each other for a moment, then Nezuko turned back to look at the taiyaki in her hand.
After thinking for a while, he handed over the taiyaki that he hadn't eaten yet.
" Teiichi... brother, here!"
Seeing this, Teiichi couldn't help but slightly raise the corner of his mouth.
He raised his left hand and ruffled Nezuko's hair.
"No need, you eat it yourself!"
However, Nezuko did not put the taiyaki away, but firmly held it up, facing Teiichi.
"Here! Let's eat together... it'll be more fun!"
Dingyi was taken aback for Teiichi upon hearing this, but did not refuse again, and took the food in small bites.
"H-How is it? Is it delicious?" Nezuko asked.
"Mmm, delicious!" Teiichi smile.
Nezuko smiled, turned her head back, and continued to eat in small bites.
