Nezuko was trapped under the rubble, her hands gripping Tanjiro's Nichirin Blade tightly.

It was covered in her blood.

……

"Haha, nice to meet you. My name is Yuhu. Can we chat before we start fighting?"

After saying this, he bowed.

The two approached somewhat fearfully.

Why are you two standing so close together?

"Because it's just the two of us, it's really scary."

Yu Hu then began introducing his work, saying, "Tonight, I urge our three distinguished guests to appreciate my work."

Muichiro responded calmly, "What are you talking about, 'work'?"

With a clap of his hands, Yu Hu conjured a pot out of thin air. "Then please enjoy this, my three esteemed guests."

The kettle sprayed out black water, and people were vomited out one by one.

"This piece is titled 'The Swordsmith's Last Moments.' Isn't it perfect?"

"Lord Kongoji, Mr. Tetsuo, Mr. Tetsuochi, and Kotaro."

"Uncle Tie Guang".

“Indeed, you two are right. It took five knifemakers to create this luxurious piece.”

Xiao Tie slowly shed tears.

"First, please look at this one..."

"Have you said enough, you bastard? I really want to kill you right now."

Muichiro turned to the two of them and said, "The five of them will be fine. As long as none of them die, Brother Tenichi can save them."

Muichiro transformed into a cloud of mist and slashed at Gyokuko's neck.

But he darted into the pot at an extremely fast speed.

Muichiro missed.

A kettle appeared on the roof at some point.

The pot shook twice, and the jade pot emerged from it.

"I haven't finished introducing the work yet, so just listen carefully until the end."

He can move from one pot to another.

That's it

"I study teapots..."

Muichiro shattered the pot in an instant, but the jade pot still managed to escape.

The knife didn't cut properly.

The pot slowly fell, turning into ashes and disappearing.

He turned to look at the pot on the ground.

"He got away again. He's really fast. Where is he next, or somewhere else?"

The jade pot emerged from the jar once again, saying, "You little brat, how dare you cut my pot and ruin my art! You tasteless, stinking monkey!"

How did the teapot come about?

"You bastards are all made of muscles, you can't possibly understand my work."

"I will turn you into a new work."

However, the fact that it has escaped so many times indicates that it is different from the previous Split Demon; it will die if its head is cut off.

Muichiro looked at the jade pot below, and tightened his grip on the sword.

Just then, Yu Hu rubbed his hands together and a pot appeared in his hand.

Muichiro stared in shock.

Two goldfish swam out of the pot. "Thousand Needles - Fish Killer".

The goldfish spat out tens of thousands of needles from its mouth.

Muichiro quickly flipped over to dodge.

"Muichiro-san".

Muichiro snapped out of his daze and looked at the two people on the ground.

"You two, run!"

The two, regaining their senses, ran wildly into the woods.

The goldfish turned around and spat out steel needles at them.

But they reacted quickly and dodged it; otherwise, they would probably have been pricked like hedgehogs.

"Let's see how you two hide this time!"

The goldfish swam apart, spitting out steel needles in two directions.

Kotetsu and Tetsuya Sen thought they were going to die here. They closed their eyes, but the pain didn't come. Kotetsu opened his eyes and looked at Muichiro blocking his way, and cried out in pain.

"Muichiro-san".

"You two go first, I'll hold him off."

Muichiro's body was covered in steel needles.

It's on my face, ears, arms, legs, and feet.

"Is it poisonous?"

With tears streaming down his face, Xiao Tie pulled Tie Xuesen away towards the direction of the woods.

The goldfish spat out steel needles again, which Muichiro struggled to defend against.

"His whole body is covered in needles, he looks so funny!"

"How is it? Your hands and feet are gradually going numb after being poisoned, aren't they? How ridiculous."

"Would you regret saving a life that was utterly worthless? Hahaha."

Muichiro shook his head. "Brother Tianyi once taught me that with great power comes great responsibility, and the strong have the right to protect the weak."

"Haha, losing your life in a worthless place, your Brother Tianyi should feel sorry for you."

Muichiro, who had been expressionless, became angry upon hearing this.

“Brother Tianyi would never do that; he would definitely be proud of me.”

"Then you can die now."

Muichiro vanished from his spot in an instant. "So annoying, your nonsense is the only thing that has no value."

Muichiro slashed his sword hard across Gyokuko's neck.

"You fell into a trap."

Yu Hu's expression turned into a silly grin.

Yu Hu conjured another pot from his hand, and clear water gushed out, enveloping Muichiro completely.

"Blood Demon Technique? Water Prison Bowl"

"To die of natural causes is truly unique and beautiful, and the cool feeling of a knife against one's neck is simply wonderful."

Muichiro tried to break through the water prison with his Nichirin Blade, but it was no use; the blade bounced back as soon as it was thrust in.

"No, it won't work, we can't break it."

"Haha, I've blocked the Demon Slayer's most crucial weapon—breathing. Just imagining your distorted expression as you struggle in pain makes me excited, haha."

"Destroying the village will severely damage the demon hunters. Once the demon hunters are weakened, your lord's head will be within easy reach, hahaha."

Brother Tianyi, what should I do? Did I make the wrong choice?

……

The scene returns to the ruins.

"Nezuko, take the knife away from your hand, Nezuko."

As the flames ignited.

Tanjiro stared in shock, for he was reminded of the battle at Spider Mountain.

Nezuko's blood ignited the sword, causing it to change color and the temperature to rise, turning the black sword red.

Enveloped in exploding blood, this is…

Tanjiro slowly stood up, holding the burning sword in his hand.

Explosive blood knife.

Tanjiro enters a flashback: "It turns red, you know. The swords used by samurai masters turn red during battle."

what happened?

The woman spoke again, "Why is that? It's so amazing. It's usually as black as obsidian, but it turns red during battle. It's so beautiful."

Who are you? Who is this?

I remember now, this is a memory passed down through generations.

The samurai master she mentioned should be the ancestor of Brother Tianyi.

He was the creator of Sun Breathing.

His knife was originally jet black, and the knife I use is also black.

"My knife has turned red now too."

The color changed; it turned red thanks to the power of Nezuko's blood.

This approach is definitely different from that swordsman's, but now, I use the same sword as him, and whenever I feel I'm getting stronger, the demon becomes stronger than me.

My body became covered in wounds, but someone always helped me.

Giyu, Urokodaki Sakonji, Tenichi, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Tengen, Shinobu Kocho... one by one they came to mind.

I must respond to them, to those who lend me strength, to their wishes, to their beliefs.

Tanjiro slowly walked up to the four demons.

I have to respond to them.

"You can't win against us by using tricks."

"Even if you hit me, it won't hurt or itch."

After saying that, Kongxi rushed over.

"The burning blade, the crimson blade."

The memories of Lord Muzan drove him to the brink of despair, nearly severing his head with the swordsman's blade.

Tanjiro's markings appeared, and he slowly raised his sword above his head.

It seemed as if Yoriichi's figure appeared behind me.

The figures overlapped.

Kong Xi rushed to the front; he was the second to notice something was wrong.

Because the current Tanjiro is too similar to the person in his mind.

"Hinokami Kagura? Solar Halo Dragon? Head Dance"
