Family

"Damn it! These Demon Slayer have so many despicable tricks up their sleeves! I think they're the demons themselves!"

Gyutaro twisted his newly grown head and spoke with slight annoyance.

He was beheaded several times tonight.

If it weren't for the rather unusual conditions required to kill them, they would have died several times over by now.

Beside him, Daki nodded in agreement, her face contorted with rage as she spoke:

"Yes! Those Demon Slayer really deserve to die!"

Upon hearing this, Gyutaro gently comforted him, "Alright, cheer up! It's over! See, that Demon Slayer done for, isn't he?"

Upon hearing this Daki looked at Tengen Uzui sitting on the ground in the distance, and Makio, who was bandaging Tengen Uzui's wounds, and her expression softened slightly.

Yes! It's over!

Of Demon Slayer, only the Pillar posed a threat to the brother and sister.

As for the boar-man walking towards him...

Without my brother lifting a finger, I can easily take care of him.

Inosuke stopped when he was about ten meters away from Daki and Gyutaro.

His gaze was fixed on Daki and Gyutaro through the hood.

Although he has come this far, he is now facing Daki and Gyutaro head-on.

But his mind was completely blank; he had no idea what to do next.

No, it's not that I don't know how to play.

They hadn't figured out how to ensure their survival.

Or rather, Uzui just suggested—that he hold them off while the others run—is the only way that could possibly allow anyone present to survive.

But he couldn't accept this outcome.

He couldn't accept the death of someone who was good to him.

If I'm going to die, I'll die before them!

A gentle night breeze blew across the street, and there was not a sound to be heard.

At a certain moment.

Tread!

A footstep broke the silence of the moment.

Inosuke quickly looked up and saw that Gyutaro was already walking towards him.

Upon seeing this, Inosuke tightened his grip on his Nichirin Blade.

Damn it! It was actually this person who came!

It was much better than the two of them attacking him at once, which he had expected!

But even if there's only one, what if that person is the man opposite?

Even when he's in good form, it's difficult for him to win; let alone now that he's injured.

Instead of launching a preemptive attack, Inosuke stood quietly in place, waiting.

Having watched from the sidelines for so long, he knew very well that he was definitely not as fast as his opponent!

Therefore, in such situations, choosing to stand still and defend can save the most effort.

Thump! Thump!

With each step landing, Gyutaro walked forward step by step.

As Inosuke got closer, he realized that the other person wasn't facing him.

seem...

He watched as Gyutaro walked up to his side, ignoring him, and continued walking silently behind him.

Inosuke gritted his teeth, no longer insisting on guarding, and swiftly raised his Nichirin Blade.

"Beast Breathing - Second Fang- Slice!"

Clang!

The Nichirin Blade struck the Blood Scythe that Gyutaro had casually raised.

The Blood Scythe remained motionless, showing no sign of descending.

Gyutaro turned and smiled at Inosuke, then continued to walk forward, his right hand still holding the Blood Scythe against the Nichirin Blade.

"Damn it! How dare they look down on me!"

Inosuke's lips twitched slightly.

Just as the Nichirin Blade was raised again, about to strike again, the long-awaited ribbon attack came flying once more.

Left with no other choice, Inosuke quickly raised his sword to defend himself.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After deflecting the ribbon with several consecutive slashes, Inosuke quickly turned to check on Gyutaro's condition.

Gyutaro continued walking forward at his leisurely pace.

Whoosh whoosh!

The ribbon came again, Inosuke gritted his teeth.

She quickly arrived at Gyutaro's side.

He wielded Nichirin Blade in one hand and attacked Gyutaro, while using the other to block the incoming Nichirin Blade.

Clang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

On the other side.

After finishing bandaging Tengen Uzui, Makio turned to look at Inosuke, who was being attacked, bit her lip, and said to Tengen Uzui:

"Lord Tengen! You rest here, I'll go hold Daki!"

"Okay, be careful!"

Tengen Uzui nodded slightly, panting heavily.

Although she knew Makio was no match for Daki, this was the only option left.

I need some time to rest before I can regain some of my fighting strength.

Winning is unlikely, but at least... at least we can buy some more time...

Makio seeing Tengen Uzui nod, Maki immediately stood up and jumped towards Daki.

Tengen Uzui looked up at Makio's departing figure, then turned his attention to Inosuke and Gyutaro.

Heavy breathing continued to come from Tengen Uzui's mouth.

Feeling the palpitations emanating from his body, Tengen Uzui murmured to himself.

"A desperate situation..."

Gyutaro looked at Inosuke, "Hey! Hey! I don't even bother you, why do you keep bothering me?"

"Haha, that's exactly the kind of trouble I've been looking for!" Inosuke laughed loudly.

As long as they don't continue walking towards Uzui and the others, that's fine!

Gyutaro frowned. "In that case, you'll have to leave now!"

That's all.

Whoosh--!

The Blood Scythe had somehow appeared beneath Inosuke.

Inosuke's pupils shrank sharply.

Although it was somewhat expected, it still...

Wow, so fast!

Laugh--!

With a soft sound, the Blood Scythe flashed like lightning, swiftly slicing across Inosuke's body.

The clothes tied to his abdominal wound were almost instantly stained with a shocking crimson, like blooming Blue Spider Lily.

Drops of blood followed the trajectory of the Blood Scythe, splattering outwards like beads from a broken string, scattering across the ground.

Gyutaro glanced at the Demon Slayer had staggered back several steps, a cold smile playing on his lips, and continued walking forward.

However, before he could take two steps, the blade flashed again.

Clang!

Gyutaro easily raised his Blood Scythe and blocked the attack.

Then, looking at Inosuke with some distress.

"Didn't you realize the difference in skill between us from that last attack? Why did you still come up here to die?"

"I... huff... I absolutely will not... huff... let you... huff... pass by!" Inosuke answered firmly, panting heavily.

Gyutaro stared blankly at Inosuke, then, as if he had thought of something, a wide grin spread across his face, and he burst into laughter:

"Hahaha... You consider them your family, right? Just like Mei and I, you have an inseparable bond!"

At this point, his voice suddenly turned sinister and terrifying.

"I understand! So... I'll grant your wish and let you die first!"

Whoosh--!

The Blood Scythe swung again, this time Blood Scythe both of them.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Sizzle!...

The Blood Scythe kept striking the Nichirin Blade.

Every now and then, Inosuke would be scratched.
