Hearing his father speak, Tanjiro embraced the apparition, overjoyed. "Papa, you're not dead?"
As Tanjiro embraced him, his father's image dissolved. Tanjiro frantically called out into the empty space, "Papa! Papa! Where did you go?"
Just as Tanjiro's anxiety peaked, his father's voice echoed again, "Tanjiro, there's no time! Get back to the fight!"
The moment the words faded, Tanjiro's heart jolted, and he was abruptly pulled back to reality.
Instantly, he forcefully shifted his breathing, switching from Water Breathing to the Kagura breathing technique his father had taught him.
"Fire God Kagura, activate!"
With the Fire God Kagura activated, the water dragon swirling around his blade transformed into a fiery dragon.
Fueled by his father's words and newfound confidence, Tanjiro spun and slashed at the tightening blood-red web.
The blood-red web instantly shattered into pieces, the flames from the fire dragon igniting the silk threads.
"Thank you, Papa," Tanjiro whispered, his heart filled with gratitude for his father's timely intervention.
"But I can't stop now. Forcibly switching from Water Breathing to Fire God Kagura will leave me paralyzed. Before that happens, I have to cut off Lower Rank Five's head!"
Having destroyed the Blood Web Prison, Tanjiro continued his relentless assault. Lower Rank Five's face registered shock at Tanjiro's ability to overcome his deadly attack.
"This guy! Is he ever going to give up?!" Lower Rank Five, enraged by Tanjiro's unwavering resolve, flung out his hands, creating a dense curtain of blood-red silk threads before Tanjiro.
He then launched another barrage of red silk threads at Tanjiro.
Tanjiro, empowered by the Fire God Kagura, pressed his attack without hesitation, cutting through the threads in his path.
He cut the incoming threads whenever possible; if he couldn't cut them, he didn't perfectly evade them, as that would slow his advance.
He chose minor evasive maneuvers to ensure the threads didn't significantly impede his movement.
This resulted in numerous cuts from the threads, but thankfully none were life-threatening, nor did they hinder his progress.
With this unwavering momentum, Tanjiro quickly closed the distance, coming within three paces of Lower Rank Five.
Lower Rank Five's expression tightened with alarm. He leaped back to create distance, flinging silk threads at Tanjiro.
However, Lower Rank Five's silk attacks were now ineffective; Tanjiro cut them down instantly.
Despite several backward leaps, Lower Rank Five couldn't escape Tanjiro's relentless pursuit.
With Tanjiro closing in, Lower Rank Five knew Tanjiro's broken blade would soon strike his neck.
