" Beast Breathing -First Fang: Pierce!"
Inosuke gripped his Nichirin Blade with both hands and fired it towards Daki.
Clang!
Several ribbons blocked the path in front of the Nichirin Blade.
Then the remaining ribbons were pulled towards Inosuke.
Seeing this, Inosuke quickly jumped backward.
Bang!
The roof, struck by the ribbon, immediately revealed a large hole.
Without ceasing its attack, the ribbon lashed out at Inosuke once more.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...
Inosuke swung his Nichirin Blade to block the incoming ribbons while trying to charge forward.
However, the constantly being pulled back ribbons completely thwarted his idea.
Clang!
The Nichirin Blade struck the ribbon heavily.
However, the ribbon only bent slightly, and it absorbed most of the force from the Nichirin Blade.
"Damn it! Crooked! Crooked! Like an earthworm, so disgusting!!" Inosuke cursed angrily.
Daki retorted angrily, "Huh? You're even more disgusting, you with that Boar's Head! And you all scurried out like cockroaches! You're the ones who're here to disgust me!"
Clang!
Clang!
Wielding his twin swords, Inosuke blocked the incoming ribbons and cursed angrily:
"You're the one who's truly disgusting! These things on your back are like earthworms, neither human nor ghost!"
Daki's face twitched slightly.
You can say anything about her, but how dare you call her disgusting?
With a whooshing sound, the ribbon kept retracting, and this time it was not pulled out again after retracting.
The annoying ribbons finally stopped attacking, and Inosuke's eyes lit up as he quickly crouched down.
" Beast Breathing - Eighth Fang - Explosive Rush!"
With a loud 'bang', Inosuke rushed towards Daki.
Seeing this, Daki's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"No wonder he's wearing a Boar's Head; his brain really is no different from a pig's!"
As she said this, Daki gently raised one hand.
Several ribbons converged and spun rapidly behind her.
The cone-shaped ribbon that had just cornered Tanjiro reappeared.
The ribbon swiftly passed over Daki's head, but did not shoot directly at Inosuke.
Instead, with a bang, it quickly burrowed into the ground in front of Daki.
The roof tiles fluttered and flew everywhere as the ribbons slipped through.
Then, the cone-shaped ribbon adjusted its direction once more, rushing straight towards Inosuke.
A rumbling sound continued.
Inosuke had to stop running forward.
In front of him, rubble flew everywhere, completely obscuring his view and making it impossible to see what else was ahead.
"Hateful!"
Inosuke cursed under his breath and stopped running.
The ribbon, carrying rubble, rapidly approached, reaching within meters of Inosuke.
Inosuke leaped forward, soaring high into the air.
Rumble--!
The ribbon whistled past beneath Inosuke.
The broken rubble could no longer obstruct Inosuke's view, and the conical ribbon that had just passed by was too late to return.
What appeared before Inosuke was Daki's figure standing still, and...
Several other ribbons shot towards him from Daki's waist.
Clang! Clang! Clang!...
Bang!
The ribbon slammed into Inosuke was suspended in mid-air with nowhere to grab onto.
Crimson blood spilled from the Boar's Head, Inosuke was blasted away by the ribbon, landing far away on another rooftop.
"I... Inosuke..."
Zenitsu stood at a distance below, trembling as he recited.
She wanted to go forward and help Inosuke, but her legs trembled as if they wouldn't obey her commands, and she stood rooted to the spot.
They could only watch helplessly as Inosuke struggled to his feet on the roof and then rushed back up.
In Zenitsu's yellowish-brown pupils.
Inosuke tried again and again to get closer to Upper Rank Six, but was forced back time and time again.
Finally, there was one time, I don't know if it was Upper Rank Six's mistake or what.
Inosuke successfully beheaded his opponent.
Just as Zenitsu and breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment.
Zenitsu's pupils contracted sharply.
A ribbon pierced through Daki's waist, which had already been severed from her head, and then into Inosuke's abdomen.
This was only because Inosuke might; otherwise, the ribbon would have gone straight for Inosuke's head.
However, not much has changed.
Because the severed head had been caught by a silk ribbon and moved towards the neck.
Rooftops hundreds of meters apart.
Teiichi's brow furrowed slightly as the situation on the battlefield unfolded.
Why is the story so different from the original novel?
Although I don't remember the original text clearly, it couldn't possibly be like this now.
Tanjiro withdrew from the battle.
Now Inosuke is withdrawing from the battle again.
The key question is, why is Zenitsu still standing there without moving?
My teammates are about to die!
If you don't make a move soon, I'll have no choice but to!
"Um... Inosuke!"
A soft, sweet voice sounded from beside me.
Teiichi hearing this, Teiichi turned his head and saw Nezuko blinking her pink eyes at him, pointing with her little finger at Inosuke.
When Teiichi looked at her, Nezuko looked at Inosuke, then back at him.
"Are you... alright?"
Teiichi chuckled softly and gently patted Nezuko's head.
"Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine!"
Although he said that, Teiichi still focused his attention on that side.
The ribbons surged behind Daki, and one of them, as Teiichi sensed, gradually moved towards Inosuke.
"Well!"
Teiichi sighed softly and raised his right hand slightly.
"I... I... I... Suke..."
Zenitsu stood on the street, muttering to himself, his voice trembling.
At the edge of his vision, Daki stood quietly on the rooftop, several ribbons behind her swaying gently in the breeze.
One of them was quite special, held high, and at the end of this ribbon, Inosuke was quietly suspended.
A ribbon swayed slightly behind Daki...
Inosuke... will die?
The sudden realization made Zenitsu feel as if two beings had suddenly appeared in his mind: an Angel Itsu and a Devil Itsu.
Angel Itsu: Zenitsu, hurry and save Inosuke!
Devil Itsu: Save him?! He was the one who rushed in and attacked, so no matter what the outcome, he has to take responsibility for it!
Angel Itsu: But Inosuke is an important teammate!
Devil Itsu: You mean he's more important, so we should save him when he's in danger? And everyone else is less important, so we don't need to save them when they're in danger?
