"Hahaha! We're running so fast, they can't seem to catch us!!!" Cola, one of the clones of Half-Tengu, laughed loudly as he ran ahead.

In contrast, one of the half-tengu clones beside him, Ji Nu, was on edge, his face clearly showing that he was very unhappy.

"What are you laughing at? You finally managed to come out, and you just turn around and run away! How infuriating! You've really angered me!"

He was furious and annoyed, but his footwork didn't falter at all. He and Cola ran quickly ahead and rushed into the dense forest.

Meanwhile, Muichiro and the others followed closely behind them, with Tanjiro pursing his lips as he quickly thought through his thoughts.

“After being decapitated, they will split into new individuals. At this rate, even if we cut off their heads again, it will only cause them to continue to multiply…”

Before Tanjiro could finish speaking, Muichiro interrupted him with his own opinion.

"No demon can split indefinitely. As long as you keep slashing, the demon's weakness will eventually be exposed."

After Muichiro finished speaking, he and Mitsuri beside him attacked together, using their respective sword techniques.

"The Breath of the Mist, Form Three, The Drifting Foam of the Mist".

"Love Breathing - First Form - The Trembling of First Love!"

Under the swordsmanship of the two, Ji Nu and Ke Le's necks were instantly severed in two, but even without their heads, Ji Nu and Ke Le continued to run.

The two heads that rolled to the ground were quickly replaced by two new bodies.

Half-day Dog - Empty Joy!

Half-Heavenly Dog - Utter Despair!

Hantengu possesses a powerful ability to create clones, generating four clones based on the core of his emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, each with its own unique abilities.

Kong Xi's ability is "flight".

Ai Jue's ability is "physical skills".

The ability to accumulate anger is "lightning".

Cola's ability is "hurricane".

At this moment, all four clones of the Half-Heaven Dog appeared in everyone's sight, especially Kong Xi and Ai Jue, who had just formed bodies.

Muichiro's eyes narrowed, and he decisively launched a slash at the two bodies. However, Sora quickly grabbed Ai Zetsu, flapped his wings, and flew into the sky with Ai Zetsu.

"It can fly...that's troublesome..."

Muichiro raised his head and looked at the two demons flying in the air, falling into silence.

At the same time, a commotion arose from another corner of the forging village, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look in that direction.

There was more than one demon that entered the sword-forging village!

Muichiro's gaze darted back and forth between the Hantengu clone flying in mid-air and the distant figure being harmed by an unknown demon. Almost instantly, he made a rather rational decision.

"I'll leave this place to you guys. I'll go deal with the demons over there." After saying that, Muichiro turned around and ran towards the location of Upper Moon Five, Gyokko.

Seeing Muichiro's decisive action, Chika hesitated for a moment before saying to Tanjiro beside her, "Tanjiro, you should go too. I'm worried about Muichiro going alone."

Tanjiro nodded and immediately agreed to Chinatsu's arrangement. He and Chinatsu were equally worried about Muichiro. After all, their sister's side still had plenty of fighting power, while Muichiro was all alone, which was indeed worrying.

"I'm going now, sister, please be careful!"

Tanjiro changed direction and turned to chase after Muichiro, who had already run far away.

This scene was witnessed by the four clones of the Half-Tengu in front.

There are two people missing... Should we continue?

The four men looked at each other, one of them clenching his teeth in anger. He raised his hand, and a black iron staff appeared in his hand.

"Dry!!!"

Half-day Dog finally stopped running away and, fueled by pent-up anger, sounded the horn of retaliation.

Upon seeing this, Chinatsu and Mitsuri immediately stopped and gripped their Nichirin Blades, entering the battle phase.

The four clones gathered together: Ji Nu, Ke Le, and Ai Jue stood together, while Kong Xi floated lightly in mid-air not far from the ground.

Hantengu's four clones, each with individual strength surpassing that of Daki, but only by a fraction. At that level, no matter how many Chika and Mitsuri came, they could easily defeat them.

Just when Chika thought the four demons were about to sound the horn of counterattack and charge towards her, the Enraged One standing in the pile of demons suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the heads of Cola and Sorrow on either side of him.

In that instant, Cola and Ai Jue both understood what Ji Nu wanted to do. Even Cola, the amused ghost, showed a look of terror on his face. Unfortunately, before they could protest, Cola and Ai Jue were absorbed by Ji Nu.

Even Kong Xi, who was flying in mid-air, could not escape the palm of the enraged hand. With a single step, he leaped to Kong Xi's height and placed his hand on Kong Xi's body.

"I just came out..."

Kongxi protested helplessly and indignantly, but finally gave up struggling and was completely absorbed by the accumulated anger.

All of this happened in an instant.

"What's wrong with him? Why are they killing each other?" Mili exclaimed, her mouth agape in confusion and surprise.

Hantengu has four clones for fighting, representing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. However, if he only has these four clones, Hantengu can barely be considered an Upper Moon, and he cannot reach the status of Upper Moon Four.

With accumulated anger as its core, Hantengu absorbs the other three emotional clones and evolves into a collection of four emotions, becoming the ultimate clone called "Hate-Breaking Heaven". This is why Hantengu is the greatest reliance of Upper Moon Four.

After absorbing the three clones, Ji Nu underwent a transformation, much like a silkworm emerging from its cocoon to become a butterfly.

Hung Po-tien appears younger than his four incarnations, with a childlike face and a sharp, curved demon horn on each side of his forehead. He wears golden armor, has five drums with the character "Hung" on his back, and often holds "S"-shaped drumsticks in his hands.

Zang Potian looked arrogant, no longer showing the same dejected expression as his previous clone. This was because Zang Potian's consciousness had basically detached from his main body, and he even believed that his main body was weak and trash.

He looked arrogantly at the crowd before him and said coldly, "Don't be so arrogant, you human scum!"

After saying that, he raised the drumstick in his hand and struck the taiko drum hanging behind him, producing a loud "thump!"

The next second, thick wooden dragons suddenly burst forth from the ground in all directions, centered on Zang Potian, and charged fiercely toward Qianxia and the others.

"Blood Demon Art: The Tree of Unending Karma!"
