At this moment, on the other side.
Tanjiro looked at Muichiro, who had fallen beside him. He yelled at himself in his heart.
Quickly pick up your Nichirin Sword and stand up!
He had to block Akaza now, or all four of them would die.
Bang!
Akaza directly slapped away the flying bullet. He looked at Genya, who was staggering to his feet, with a contemptuous gaze.
"You are too weak. I have no interest."
Genya's entire face flushed red. He could be looked down upon by people, but he absolutely could not be looked down upon by a demon.
He reloaded his gun and fired at Akaza again. This time, Akaza didn't dodge, allowing the bullet to explode into his chest. Blood splattered, and a large hole exploded in his chest. But immediately, the muscle fibers wriggled, and it healed.
With a flash, he arrived next to Genya.
"Be careful!"
Tanjiro, who was lying on the ground, roared.
Before Genya could react, a hand directly pierced his heart. He could even feel his heart pounding.
His pupils constricted to the extreme, then a fierce expression appeared on his face. In the opponent's astonished gaze, he bit hard into the arm covered with blue patterns.
He tore off a large piece of flesh and then ate it directly into his stomach.
"Dying struggle!"
Akaza pulled out his hand and kicked him far away. He would just let him wait for death over there. His gaze returned to the two people lying on the ground.
A biting wind came from behind his head. Akaza tilted his head directly, dodging the heavy kick. He looked back and saw that it was Nezuko looking at him with a fierce gaze.
Akaza directly broke Nezuko's leg, but Nezuko's leg immediately recovered. With one kick, she directly shattered his shoulder. Both sides began an extremely bloody struggle.
If Seiichi were here, he would definitely say, "Stop fighting, stop fighting, you won't be able to kill demons like this."
"It seems you are the demon that Master Muzan mentioned who broke free from his control."
Without a response, Nezuko punched Akaza's face, making it collapse.
"It's useless. You are too weak. Now, I'm not going to play with you anymore."
Akaza's cold gaze fixed on Nezuko, and he struck a pose.
"Destructive Kill—Chaotic Style!"
Akaza launched a fierce attack at Nezuko at extremely high speed. In an instant, blood splattered all over Nezuko's body, and many large holes appeared. Even with such injuries, Nezuko couldn't recover quickly. Before Nezuko could react, Akaza threw Nezuko heavily away.
A figure flashed quickly and caught the flying Nezuko. It was Tanjiro, who had broken through his limits!
Blood flowed into his eyes, and the whites of his eyes turned crimson. But the thought of protecting his sister made his entire body feel as if it were burning with flames. The patterns on his forehead gradually expanded, and sparks vaguely emerged from his heavily panting mouth.
People can unleash infinite potential at the brink of death and in moments of greatest desire. This is what humans can do, and demons cannot.
Because they have no emotions, they are just beasts that only know how to eat people.
Akaza's eyes seemed to be gradually recalling something, but also seemed to recall nothing. But no matter what, he was enraged, and his expression gradually became ferocious.
He shot out, heading straight for Tanjiro.
Tanjiro trembled as he held his Nichirin Sword.
I am at my limit! But, I can still do it!
He couldn't see Akaza's movements, but in the depths of his being, he knew he would come in that direction. He directly raised his Nichirin Sword upwards and chopped down with force.
A splash of blood, it was Akaza's. His shoulder was split open by the Nichirin Sword, and the Nichirin Sword was even embedded in it. However, Tanjiro didn't have enough strength to chop further down, and he was also directly knocked flying by Akaza's huge momentum.
Using this momentum, although Tanjiro was knocked flying, he chopped the Nichirin Sword deeper. He didn't let go of his hands, and as he flew out, he pulled out the Nichirin Sword, and Akaza's blood spurted out.
"You are very good!"
Akaza's eyes were as cold as if he wanted to kill someone. His Blood Demon Art's effect was that the stronger the opponent's aura, the more precisely he could judge the opponent's position, direction, movements, and everything else. Unless the opponent was a swordsman with Transparent World. A person with Transparent World keeps their aura contained within their body, and he cannot sense their aura.
And Tanjiro was severely injured at this moment and didn't have much aura left, so Akaza found it difficult to predict his movements.
Akaza didn't intend to hold back anymore. His next move would be to completely kill this person. He raised his hand, and it was another starting move.
"Destructive Kill…"
Just as he was about to launch his attack, he felt a sharp sword aura coming from the back of his neck.
Again and again.
Akaza was already getting furious. He directly rushed forward, dodging this strike.
The one who struck was Muichiro, who had finished his breathing exercises. A magatama-like pattern appeared on his face.
Muichiro smiled brightly and said to Tanjiro.
"I remember now, thank you, Tanjiro!"
There was once such a person who protected him desperately. It was such a person who let him live, but it was also such a person who made him incredibly painful in the past.
But no matter what, he had lost that person forever. His brother, Yuichiro.
"My brother told me that Muichiro's 'Mu' is the 'Mu' of omnipotence."
His left foot moved slightly forward, holding his Nichirin Sword with both hands, raising it. A standard gripping posture, and also a standard combat posture.
Marked Muichiro, here!
"How did you grow more stronger?"
It doesn't matter. I'm going to kill everyone here.
He rushed straight at Muichiro, raising his hand to use his Blood Demon Art, Annihilation Style.
It missed. Muichiro instantly retreated to the side, swinging his Nichirin Sword at the charging Akaza. Akaza directly blocked with his left arm, and a burst of blood and flesh splattered. His left arm was directly severed, and his chest was also scratched.
He directly jumped away.
"Brat, your speed has become faster, and your strength is much greater than before. But, it's useless!"
Akaza let out a contemptuous sound because if it was just this much, then they would die very soon.
A familiar pink Nichirin Sword light rapidly swept over, covering the sky above Akaza's head. The air made a sound as if it were being whipped.
Akaza flashed several times, precisely dodging dozens of slashes. This was the power of his Blood Demon Art. As long as he wanted to, most attacks could be dodged, but most of the time, he didn't need to.
A pink figure rapidly approached. It was Mitsuri, who had recovered from her near-death experience. Although she was a bit disheveled at this time, her eyes were sparkling, and a pattern had appeared on her chest at some point.
Marked Mitsuri, here!
Flames erupted in Akaza's heart. He had trained hard for hundreds of years, yet his progress was minimal, while these people only needed one battle to improve so much.
"You people…"
Before he could finish speaking, Tanjiro and Nezuko, who had rested, helped each other up. Tanjiro re-gripped his Nichirin Sword and faced Akaza.
"I can still fight, everyone."
