Chapter 81 Bai Ze Makes His Move and Takes Over Shanglu
Bai Ze beckoned the three little ones over and began assigning them tasks:
"Tanjiro, I'm leaving Daki to the three of you. I believe that you three, having completed your special training, will have no problem dealing with Daki. I'll have Kage support you, and Raphael will provide you with protection. Go all out and fight!"
"Tianyuan and I will take care of that 'seaweed head' guy. There's only one objective: to cut off both of their heads at the same time. Understand?"
The three of them immediately stood at attention and said in unison:
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Raphael bestowed upon everyone a blessing of protection and courage, and Tengen, Tanjiro, and the others felt a surge of comfort.
The group twirled their fingers, gripped their sword hilts, and felt an increase in their strength and speed, making them more confident in taking down the two Upper Moon demons.
On the other side, Gyutaro placed the severed head of Tengen back on his sister Daki, gently comforting her and wiping away her tears.
As the smoke and dust from the broken wall dissipated, the shadows of several people standing on the opposite rooftop were illuminated by the moonlight and entered the room. Gyutaro, having wiped away Daki's tears, turned to the group with a ferocious expression and said:
"You bullied my sister and made her cry like this, you all deserve to die!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ding!"
A figure darted out of the room, and Bai Ze and Tian Yuan flew up and blocked Gyutaro's blood-stained double scythes with their swords.
After crying, Daki stood by the hole in the wall, her face contorted with rage, and said:
"I'm going to cut you into pieces, and you'll all die!"
The three little ones leaped over the roof and slashed at Daki;
The melee began, and the two sides fought fiercely in the streets, inside houses, and on rooftops under the moonlight. The surrounding crowd was awakened when the walls of Kyogoku-ya were broken, and seeing the two sides fighting like this, they all ran away.
"Blood Demon Art: The Leaping Bow!"
Bai Ze and Tian Yuan used their respective skills to resist Gyutaro's Blood Demon Art, forcing Gyutaro back. After that, Bai Ze took a moment to ask Tian Yuan a question:
"How much did the World Gazette receive from the Butterfly Mansion?"
Tianyuan noticed that the scratches on his arm from the Blood Demon Art were turning purple, realizing he was poisoned. He pulled out a large World Sphere from his lower back, drank from it, and said:
"There are still more than 20 left, that should be enough."
The three boys, after special training, are no longer the same as before.
Tanjiro, in particular, is still unable to perfectly execute the thirteenth form of Sun Breathing.
However, with the blessing of Yi Jin Jing, maintaining focused breathing and continuously using the sun's breathing technique no longer puts a burden on the body.
Zenitsu no longer has to fight in his sleep. Although he is still a bit flustered during battles, Tanjiro and Ino-chan are by his side, giving Zenitsu a good opportunity to attack.
Needless to say, as one of the top trainees in terms of body control, Zhu Zhu has greatly improved his speed and strength, but the power and damage of his Beast Breathing technique are still not up to par.
Daki restrained her trembling hands, feeling the burning sensation from her sash;
"This kid is one of the swordsmen that Lord Muzan ordered us to kill. What kind of breathing technique is he using? Why can't the sash that was cut instantly heal?"
Daki is fighting the three little ones with all her might, and the biggest threat to her right now is Tanjiro. The damage and sensation from the Sun Breathing technique has triggered the unforgettable fear in Muzan's cells.
…
"Blood Demon Art: Flying Blood Scythe"
"Raging Frenzy Slash!"
"Sound Breathing - Fourth Form: Resounding Slash Without End"
Gyutaro sensed something was wrong with his sister, so he flew backward and headed straight for his sister Daki on the rooftop.
"Blood Demon Art: Leaping and Jumping"
With a single Blood Demon Technique, Bai Ze and Tian Yuan, who were chasing after them, were forced back, as were the three little ones flying towards Daki. Gyutaro stroked Daki's face and said:
"How could you bully my lovely little sister! Mei, be good, today we'll kill these swordsmen together to make you happy."
As Gyutaro spoke, he added his left eye and vampire energy to Daki's forehead. Daki's veins bulged all over her body, and more than a dozen sashes appeared on her back.
Now that Gyutaro and his sister can share the information they obtain, and after integrating it, Gyutaro can make more informed decisions.
"Hinokami Kagura: Scorching Sun"
"Beast Breathing - Second Fang: Cleave"
"Breathing of Thunder - First Form: Thunderclap Flash"
The three little ones executed the training requirements perfectly, giving the ghosts no time to spare. They all used their respective breathing techniques to slash at the two ghosts.
"Type One: Boom"
"Blood Blade"
Bai Ze and Tian Yuan also unleashed their respective skills behind Gyutaro;
"Blood Demon Art: Eightfold Slash"
"Blood Demon Art: Leaping and Jumping"
The Upper Moon Six siblings were no pushovers either, so they unleashed a wide-ranging Blood Demon Art in an instant, blasting the house where the two demons were standing into dust.
"Soul-Devouring Demon-Sealing Slash!"
As the smoke and dust billowed up, Bai Ze pulled out a powerful suction, dragging Gyutaro toward himself and Tengen. Despite being pulled and pulled, Gyutaro was still able to raise his two scythes and slash at Bai Ze.
"Type One: Boom"
As Tengen turned to the side, he used Sound Breathing to stab Gyutaro in the neck. Hakutaku also released his deep breath and slashed at Gyutaro's chest and left neck with his right-hand blade from bottom to top.
As the suction force disappeared, Gyutaro twisted his waist, changed the direction of his upper body, and grinned as he aimed his arms at Bai Ze and Tian Yuan, unleashing his Blood Demon Art.
"Blood Demon Art: Circular Slash Spin - Flying Blood Scythe"
Two spiraling Blood Demon Art blades shot out from Gyutaro's arm, heading towards Hakutaku and Tengen.
Bai Ze instantly activated the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to shift his position while lying on the ground. As he changed direction continuously, five streams of Six Meridians Divine Sword Qi shot towards Gyutaro's eyes.
Having dodged Gyutaro's Blood Demon Art attack, Bai Ze, having launched the Six Meridian Divine Sword, stood up and thrust the sword into Gyutaro's neck.
"Fourth Form: Resounding Slash Without End"
Upon seeing Gyutaro's Blood Demon Art, Tengen swung his twin swords and used a breathing technique, much like wielding nunchucks, to block Gyutaro's Blood Demon Art.
At the same time, on the other side, Inosuke and Zenitsu, knowing the outstanding damage effect of Tanjiro's breathing technique, began to assist Tanjiro, using the breathing technique enhanced by the Yi Jin Jing and the Flame Blade to try their best to resist the flying sashes of Daki.
This created an opportunity for Tanjiro to get closer to Daki's true form. Tanjiro also sensed Daki's "weak point" and used every means to get closer to Daki's true form.
Daki endured the burning sensation of Tanjiro's Sun Breathing striking her sash, gritting her teeth as she unleashed her Blood Demon Art to lengthen her sash and block the three little ones' attacks.
Bai Ze saw that both sides were in a stalemate. Although Raphael and Aying were there to support them, they could fight until sunrise.
However, Bai Ze still wanted to finish the battle quickly, because if Muzan received the news and suddenly appeared, the number of people on his side would not be enough to compete with Muzan.
While fighting Gyutaro, Bai Ze spoke telepathically to Raphael:
"Raffi, keep a close eye on our situation. Whenever you find an opportunity, unleash the New Life Hymn upon all of us!"
"Okay, Aze!"
Bai Ze immediately gave Tian Yuan, who had once again retreated to his side and drunk a bottle of the Great World Instrument, and said:
"I'll go up and subdue this kelp-headed guy in a moment, then you can slit his throat!"
"Hmm~"
Tengen wiped the blood from his mouth. He hadn't been paying attention when he was fighting Gyutaro, and the poisoned blade had sliced right across his neck.
If it weren't for the Great World Instrument, even though Tengen could control his muscles to seal off his blood vessels, he would have been lying on the ground in less than ten minutes, given how close it was to his head and heart.
Bai Ze looked at the three little ones not far away and shouted:
"Tanjiro! Fire! Fire! Fire!"
This was a backup plan that Bai Ze trained Tanjiro during his special training, and Tanjiro knew that his Hinokami Kagura was the Sun Breathing technique.
The 12th form of the previous Fire God Kagura is the 13th form of the Last Sun Breathing.
Although Tanjiro couldn't fully unleash the thirteenth form due to insufficient physical strength and cardiopulmonary function, after special training and with the blessing of the Yi Jin Jing, he was able to execute six forms in succession.
This is also Tanjiro's final killing move, because it will release all of Tanjiro's physical strength and accumulated heart and lung breathing in one go;
Hearing Bai Ze's shout, Tanjiro knew the moment of truth had arrived. Tanjiro shouted to Zenitsu and Ino:
"Zenitsu, Inosuke, let me break in!"
"it is good!"
"understand!"
Bai Ze used Lingbo Weibu to dodge Gyutaro's blood-stained blade and slid directly to Gyutaro's side and rear, unleashing a furious and powerful attack at close range.
Gyutaro swung his blood scythe to block Bai Ze's blood-red blade. Bai Ze deliberately left an opening at the end of the skill, allowing Gyutaro's scythe to pierce directly between his right ribs.
Bai Ze stretched out his left hand and used the Soul-Devouring Hand to suck up Gyutaro's arm. He looked up and laughed wildly at Gyutaro, while his right hand swung the sword at Gyutaro.
Gyutaro sensed something was wrong with Bai Ze's smile and swung his scythe vertically downwards towards Bai Ze's head.
"Ding!"
Tengen had been waiting for this moment. He blocked Gyutaro's scythe with one slash and then slashed at Gyutaro's still mobile right arm with the other slash.
On the other side, Inosuke and Zenitsu were unleashing their skills, slashing at Daki's Blood Demon Art sash. Tanjiro crouched down, took a deep breath, and stored up his breathing technique energy, waiting for Hakutaku's move. He saw Hakutaku restrain Gyutaro.
Tanjiro shouted:
"Now!"
Zenitsu also unleashed Thunder Breathing: First Form - Thunderclap Flash - Six-Strike Combo to deflect Tanjiro's Blood Demon Cloak. Ino immediately activated Beast Breathing - First Fang - Piercing Shot, pinning four or five Blood Demon Cloaks that were being swung at him to the ground.
Tanjiro charged toward Daki and activated the sixth form of Sun Breathing;
"Hinokami Kagura: Scorching Sun"
"Hinokami Kagura: Crimson Mirror of the Blazing Sun"
"Hinokami Kagura: Waltz"
"Hinokami Kagura: Azure Heaven"
"Hinokami Kagura: Phantom Sun Rainbow"
Tanjiro cleared all the Blood Demon Art sashes between Tanjiro and Daki, and his final "Hinokami Kagura: Phantom Rainbow" made Daki lose Tanjiro's sight.
Just then, Raphael's New Life Song was unleashed, covering everyone on the battlefield with its power. The energy of light restored the teammates, while Gyutaro and Daki felt as if someone had stuffed a sun into their bodies.
The two ghostly siblings instantly lost consciousness. In those few seconds of fading consciousness, Bai Ze's knife moved from right to left, and Tian Yuan moved from left to right.
Tanjiro flashed behind Daki and unleashed his sixth form's final strike, "Hinokami Kagura: Yanghua Thrust," slashing upwards towards Daki's neck.
"bass!"
"bass!"
The sound of heads being detached rang out from both battlefields, 'thud...thud...thud,' 'bang...glug...glug,' as two heads, still reeling from the impact of Raphael's skill, rolled together.
As Daki watched her brother's head fly to the opposite side of her, tears instantly streamed down her face, running horizontally across her eyes and onto the ground. She cried out:
"Waaaaah~ It's all my brother's fault for not dealing with those two pillars faster! That little brat in green hurt me so much, so much! Waaaaah...waaaah!"
"Mei... I'm sorry, your brother couldn't protect you again, I'm so sorry..."
"It's all my brother's fault, it's all your fault! Waaaaah~~~ Waaaaah~~~"
After Bai Ze pulled the scythe stuck in his ribs, his wounds were slowly healed by Raphael's ongoing skill. The three little ones, who had cuts of all sizes all over their bodies, were also slowly healed.
At this moment, Gyutaro and Daki started arguing. One blamed the other for not quickly killing the Pillar to help him, while the other blamed the other for not killing the three brats faster.
"Why am I not the only Upper Moon Six? Why do I have to share the Upper Moon Six status with you, you ugly monster? Muzan-sama clearly prefers the beautiful and cute me! You ugly monster!!!"
Daki finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke the words she had kept hidden in her heart. Gyutaro's still-shattering head stared wide-eyed at his sister. Mei's lovely face from when she was little appeared in his mind, and Mei's lovely smile lingered before his eyes.
Just as Gyutaro was about to utter a curse, a rough but not very big hand covered his mouth.
"He is your last remaining family member, he is the brother who has always protected you, you are family, stop saying hurtful things, make up!"
You were each other's only siblings! No one will forgive what you have done. Those you killed will curse you and hurl insults at you. No one will speak well of you.
So at least, you two shouldn't exchange any more harsh words!
With tears in his eyes, Tanjiro covered Gyutaro's mouth and slowly spoke to Daki.
"Waaaaah~~~ Brother, I don't want to die! Brother, please think of something!"
"plum!"
The bodies of the brother and sister finally dissipated completely;
Upper Moon Six: Gyutaro - Upper Moon Six: Daki confirmed dead!
…
Bai Ze approached Tanjiro, who had already begun to shed tears, patted Tanjiro's head, and slowly said while looking at the rising sun in the distance:
"Family is the strongest bond, family is our final safe haven, family..."
Raphael and A-Ying were behind Bai Ze. Tian Yuan's three wives also ran over from not far from the battlefield, hugging Tian Yuan and checking if he was missing any limbs. Zenitsu and Inosuke also walked to Tanjiro's side.
Tanjiro, holding Nezuko's box, said with tears streaming down his face:
"Nezuko, I promise I'll turn you back into a human, I'll take you to eat all the delicious food in the world, and I'll take you to see the sunrise together!"
"Hmm~hmm~"
Nezuko, inside the box, heard Tanjiro's words and let out a cute "hmm" sound.
Although the regular members and the hidden members of the Demon Slayer Corps were late, they arrived. Bai Ze, Tian Yuan, and the others stood in the rising sunlight, smiling as they watched the excited members running towards them.
