Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

"Damn it, what's wrong with these kids?"

The house was smashed to pieces, and the angry monk, holding his staff, searched for the figures of the crowd amidst the dust and smoke.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind rushed from behind him. He quickly turned around, holding his staff. With a soft bang, the staff and the Nichirin Blade emitted a flash of fire.

Seeing the strange markings on Tanjiro's forehead and the sunflower pendant by his ear, he was filled with rage: "You wretched brat!"

This guy, this guy is the one Muzan-sama was talking about...

The demon hunter must be killed.

During the stalemate, Tanjiro's eyes quickly scanned the dust and smoke, trying to pinpoint the location of the others.

There are four heads in total, and they all regenerate very quickly. Is there any pattern? Which one recovers the fastest?

Tanjiro suddenly remembered Ikuko at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters after she killed Akaza.

That was the conversation between the lord and Miss Yuko at that time.

If I remember correctly, that's how it was said.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki: "Miss Yuuko, the strength of the Upper Moon demons is beyond imagination. There are already demons who have overcome their neck weaknesses. Are the other Upper Moon demons like this? What about Muzan Kibutsuji?"

Yuko: "Muzan has indeed overcome the weakness of his neck. Apart from sunlight, there is probably no other way to kill him."

"But overcoming neck strain is something that not just anyone can do."

"As for me, I haven't been able to overcome the weakness of my neck either. At best, I've overcome the sunlight, which is why I'm able to survive being beheaded."

Before seeing Akaza overcome the weakness of her neck, she didn't even think Kokushibo had that ability.

Yuko's guess is a fairly reasonable one. If all the Upper Moons survive being decapitated, then in the final battle, the goal is to hold off Muzan while also holding off the other Upper Moons.

As far as plot-driven deaths go, the difficulty is far too great.

She couldn't even allocate the fighting power between the Upper Moon and the Pillars.

Tanjiro's eyes brightened a little.

That's right.

Ultimately, it still falls under the category of ghosts; it's impossible for someone to have their neck cut off and not die.

There must be some weakness!

It is a weakness they have not yet discovered.

"Go to hell!" He slammed his staff into the ground in anger, and a crackling sound of electricity rang out.

Tanjiro quickly snapped back to his senses, his eyes filled with dazzling lightning.

"What?" Just when he thought he had succeeded, the red-haired brat in front of him suddenly disappeared.

He looked up sharply and saw Tanjiro hanging upside down in mid-air.

What kind of move is this?

"Sun Breathing - Ninth Form - Sunset Turn!"

While dodging the lightning attack, Tanjiro hung upside down in mid-air, his Nichirin Blade wreathed in flames slashing towards Nu's neck.

What a great speed!

His furious gaze fell upon the blade that was hurtling toward his neck. He had no time to dodge and was beheaded in one stroke.

Tanjiro landed at the back, his expression showing no sign of relaxation.

Is another split looming?

This time, however, Nu simply put his head back on and swung his staff behind him.

"Damn you little devil!"

While Tanjiro was defending against the attacks, his mind was constantly working.

There was no split, so that's how it is. Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—are four already the limit?

Are we to be beheaded together?

Tanjiro shouted towards the smoke and dust, "Everyone, corner these guys together and behead them all!"

Several more veins bulged on his forehead in anger. "I was really underestimated!"

He had barely finished speaking when Tanjiro kicked him away.

At the same time, figures broke through the dust and crashed into Nu.

His face was filled with anger and shock: "You lot...!"

"Hey, hey, hey, these kids are acting really strange!" Le stood up, a bead of cold sweat on his forehead. Although he was smiling, you could feel a sense of pressure.

“Indeed, he doesn’t seem like an ordinary swordsman.” Ai stood up, holding her cross-shaped spear, and touched the spear wounds on her body that were healing.

“It’s just like…” Kisame flapped his wings, clearing away the dust and revealing the four people who had surrounded him, “…the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.”

Zenitsu, holding his Nichirin Blade crackling with electricity, instantly lost his serious expression: "Eh? Eh? Does he mean I have the strength of a Pillar?"

"This guy has a good eye!"

Tanjiro, embarrassed, said, "This isn't the time to say things like that."

Although Xuanmi didn't appear overly happy, the smile on his lips was enough to prove that he was satisfied with the training results over this period of time.

If I take down these Upper Moons, I can finally talk to my older brother, right?

Inosuke sensed something was off and said in a goofy voice, "Don't you guys think these guys are too weak?"

Tanjiro's eyes fell silent.

indeed.

These four guys are strange, but their strength is incomparable to Gyutaro's. At most, they are at the level of Daki. Although they are stronger than the Lower Moon, they are definitely not in the category of Upper Moon monsters.

On the other side, Nu also vented his anger on his companions.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Just a few brats! Why haven't they been dealt with yet?"

"What are you talking about? You haven't even defeated your opponent yet!"

"Idiot, that brat is Lord Muzan..."

The noise of the demons arguing attracted the attention of Tanjiro and the others.

Tanjiro was shocked: "Are they... arguing?"

It was clearly a clone.

Tanjiro's eyes were reserved; regardless of whether they were arguing or not, this was the perfect opportunity.

"Everyone, let's move together..."

Before he finished speaking, the quarreling ghosts suddenly started arguing.

"Stop arguing! These kids are acting strangely!"

"At this rate, we are no match for them."

Enraged, he reached out and grabbed Le by the collar.

Le looked panicked: "Hey, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Everyone's pupils trembled violently.

"Eat it, eat it all..."

"This guy... he's actually eating his own kind..."

Although he didn't quite understand how things were developing, Tanjiro clearly sensed that something was wrong.

"Everyone, stop them quickly!"

As he spoke, Tanjiro rushed forward, attempting to interrupt the rage's devouring of the other demons.

Nu grabbed Le with one hand and stuffed him into his mouth, while swinging his staff behind him with the other.

boom!

The moment their weapons clashed, Tanjiro's expression changed, and he was sent flying backward.

My power... has increased!

"What?!" Inosuke and the others were shocked and didn't have time to pay attention to Tanjiro.

Anger has already consumed joy, and is now beginning to consume happiness.

"We have to interrupt this guy." The three dared not delay any longer and raised their swords to slash at him angrily.

To Zenitsu and the others' surprise, Nu was unable to withstand the attacks of the three alone, so he simply let the Nichirin Blade strike his body, intending to withstand it with his bare hands.

Inosuke severed Nu's neck, but Zenitsu keenly noticed that Nu's movements did not stop; he continued to gnaw on Xi.

He quickly changed the direction of his Nichirin Blade and thrust it towards the angry head in mid-air.

Ai snatched the head from the body of the angry creature, turned her back to him, took a blow from Zenitsu, put the head back on the body, and then offered herself up in the process.
