Chapter 27: This is not a one-man battle
"Tanjiro, Tomioka!" You Xiaohun was surprised by the two people who suddenly appeared opposite him.
Tanjiro: "Little soul!"
At this time, Wuzan stood aside, his face full of impatience: "You are so annoying, you people are really annoying. I am fed up with you from the bottom of my heart."
"You should be grateful that you are at least alive."
"Just treat the people I killed as disasters. Many people die from natural disasters anyway."
"Why are you still entangled? The Demon Slayer Corps is a group of lunatics."
He continued with disdain, "I'm tired of being an opponent of madmen."
Tanjiro roared angrily: "Muzan, you are a creature that is not worthy of living in this world!"
Listening to Muzan's extremely despicable speech, You Xiaohun felt that his values were completely reversed and that it was impossible to communicate with him. "If we don't agree on something, there's no point in saying anything. Tanjiro, Tomioka, you better be careful with his whip. Don't be careless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tanjiro flashed forward, attempting to attack Muzan. Muzan flicked his wrist, and a thorn whip swooped down at Tanjiro like a venomous snake. Tanjiro reacted with remarkable speed, jerking his body to the side and narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. However, the invisible wind blade hurled by the thorn whip, like a sharp knife, still scratched Tanjiro's eye.
"Keep your distance and don't fight him head-on! Muzan's abilities are not comparable to those of the Upper Ranks."
Muzan stood there, looking at a dead man, and said contemptuously, "In this infinite city where no light can penetrate, you want to drag out time until dawn? Just relying on three pillars?"
"The man in striped clothes and the woman have already..."
"He was killed by my subordinates."
! ?
No, that was not what she saw through the crow's perspective.
At this moment, everyone was struggling to resist Muzan's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Just when Tanjiro was about to be hit by Muzan's intensive attacks, Iguro and Kanroji arrived in time.
Muzan looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in confusion and shouted in horror: "Mingnu! What the hell are you doing!"
At this moment, the entire Infinite City began to shake violently, and the surrounding walls twisted and deformed.
From the perspective of the crow, You Xiaohun saw that Yushiro was gritting his teeth and fighting with Muzan for control of Mingnu.
She immediately called on everyone to attack.
Because of the interference from everyone, Muzan knew that he could not regain control of Mingnu, so he decided to kill Mingnu directly.
The shaking of Infinite City became more violent.
You Xiaohun, paying attention to Yushiro's situation, was momentarily distracted. A ferocious whip of thorns struck her like a venomous snake, its sharp thorns flashing with a cold light. The fatigue from the continuous battle and the depletion of spiritual energy had left her exhausted. Seeing that there was no time to dodge, her heartstrings, which had been tense all the time, suddenly felt like they were plunging into an ice cellar.
At the critical moment, Tomioka Giyu suddenly dodged in front of her. He gripped the Nichirin Sword tightly with both hands, the blade flashing with blue light, and with a "clang" sound, he blocked the whip.
Seeing Tomioka Giyu's solid back, You Xiaohun said gratefully, "Thank you!"
She was still terrified: "Thankfully, everyone is here. I'm not fighting alone. This battle has no way out. We must win."
In an instant, the huge and increasing pressure forcibly pushed everyone out from underground!
Fresh air mixed with flying dust instantly rushed into the lungs, and the abundant spiritual energy helped You Xiaohun's body to feel relaxed.
The crow war report sounded just in time: "Ga~ There's still an hour and a half until dawn!"
!!!
Where is Muzan?
Immediately afterwards, there was an explosive impact that blew away all the broken walls and tiles, and at the center of it was Muzan!
Muzan's appearance was different from the previous whips on his arms, and there were even a few more whips on his back: "Heh~ Do you think you can trap me here until dawn?"
"If you can, give it a try!"
The three pillars swung the Sun Blade again and launched an all-out attack on Muzan.
Muzan raised several thorn whips and immediately attacked them with great speed. Wherever the thorn whips passed, it was like the scythe wielded by the god of death.
Iguro's footsteps were light. He saw the right moment and, with an extremely tricky angle, slashed at Muzan's neck. The blade carried a powerful force, like lightning, and with a "puff", it cut off Muzan's neck.
However, Muzan relied on his recovery ability to instantly reattach his head.
The whip on his body was still swinging wildly, like a crazy meat grinder, sweeping towards everyone without mercy. At this time, everyone was too close to Muzan, and the whip was coming at them with such force that they had no time to dodge.
You Xiaohun felt something was wrong when he saw this. It turned out that Muzan was deliberately leaving space for everyone to move, luring the enemy deeper, wanting to catch them all in one fell swoop!
At this critical moment, the soldiers did not hesitate, rushing in from all directions like a tide. They had only one belief in their hearts: to defend the Pillars for a moment, to buy a glimmer of hope for them, even at the cost of their own lives.
You Xiaohun watched their actions with bloodshot eyes. She knew very well that the amulets on their bodies could only withstand one attack and then lose their effectiveness. Once hit by the whip, only death would await them.
The shimmering fluorescence from the shattered amulet was like tiny stars in the night sky, slowly dispersing in front of You Xiaohun's eyes.
No!!! No one, don’t die!
Just when she was heartbroken, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her brow, and a golden lotus slowly bloomed in her brow.
Afterward, You Xiaohun felt like she had entered a wondrous world. In this world, time seemed frozen, and images flashed through her mind like a movie. Everything around her slowed down. She could clearly see every swing of Muzan's whip, its trajectory, speed, and force, as if she were controlling time.
Only when she swung the Sun Blade with lightning speed, slicing through every one of Muzan's thorn whips, did You Xiaohun finally come back to her senses. She stared at the severed whips before her eyes. In that instant, she seemed to be able to control her precognitive abilities, and an indescribable excitement welled up within her. In that moment, she had unleashed her precognitive abilities to their fullest potential!
Just as Muzan was busy quickly regenerating his whip, revealing a flaw in the brief gap, You Xiaohun shouted: "Back off! Get out of the attack range!"
Tanjiro, who was standing by, suddenly vomited blood and fainted on the ground.
Muzan said sarcastically, "I will mix my own blood into the attack, but I will not turn you into ghosts. Even if you don't die, you will die of poisoning."
"Look, Tanjiro Kamado is dead!"
