Chapter 28: Sunrise in the East
When everyone saw Tanjiro's dying appearance, their hearts sank instantly.
But now is not the time to be distracted, Muzan's attacks show no signs of stopping.
Because of the predictive power she had just used, You Xiaohun suffered a brief sequelae. She was distracted and dizzy. She shook her head vigorously, trying to make herself more awake and see everything around her clearly.
Muzan's movements were so fast that the four of them had no time to make a more effective defense. They could only try their best to barely avoid the vital parts of Muzan's attack.
Just as Muzan was secretly delighted and was about to take the opportunity to take the heads of the two girls who looked relatively weak.
Beimingyu and Shimi arrived in time and blocked the fatal blow for them.
Beimingyu: "Sorry, I'm late!"
Shimi turned his back to You Xiaohun and said, "If you get hurt again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!" Although he was saying the most ferocious words, Shimi's back looked so solid and reliable, and the full sense of security made You Xiaohun a little stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Shimi's eyes flashed, and he raised the long sword in his hand high. With a fierce momentum, he slashed at Muzan fiercely, splitting his body in two. At the same time, he quickly took out several bottles of kerosene from his pocket and threw them at Muzan without hesitation.
Wuzan said angrily: "Do you think the same method will work on me?"
Shiya: "Kill you, you scumbag!"
Like an enraged beast, Muzan increased his speed to a terrifying degree, so fast that only his afterimage could be seen swaying in the air. However, the crowd did not retreat, but instead faced the challenge head-on.
You Xiaohun was unwilling to accept this. Everyone was still fighting hard, but she could only watch helplessly.
When she saw Ganlu Temple charging towards Muzan, You Xiaohun, suppressing the mental pain, once again activated her precognitive power. Instantly, countless images flashed before her eyes. With this foresight, she accurately judged the direction of danger and, with all her might, blocked Ganlu Temple's path in time. She anxiously asked, "Ms. Mitsuri, are you alright?"
Ganlu Temple looked at You Xiaohun who was blocking his way, his eyes filled with emotion and self-blame. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a sobbing voice: "I'm sorry, I'm holding everyone back again! Wuuwuwu~~~"
The battle has entered a white-hot stage. You Xiaohun took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart, and then picked up the Sun Wheel Sword to join the battle.
Shiya helped Tomioka take back the Nichirin Sword and shouted angrily, "Why are you standing there in a daze?"
As the battle continued, the poison in everyone's body began to take effect and they began to vomit blood.
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, Cha Cha Wan, carrying a medicine box on his back, lightly leaped onto the battlefield. The "serum" in the medicine box was injected into everyone's body. As the "serum" slowly infused into their bodies, everyone could clearly feel the toxins in their bodies gradually dissipating, and their pulse disorder and body pain quickly improved.
On the battlefield, the blade in Ihei's hand suddenly turned into a bright red color as if it had been burned by fire, exactly the same as the condition of Tokito's blade at that time.
Zenitsu and his two companions, who had been hiding in the corner waiting for their chance, successfully attacked Muzan, which relieved the pressure on the others who had been suppressed by Muzan to the point of being breathless. With their cooperation, the offensive became more and more fierce.
After Ihei's red sword awakened, it seemed to have triggered a chain reaction, and everyone activated their red swords one after another.
At this time, the Crow Battle Report: "Ga~ One hour and three minutes until dawn!"
As dawn draws closer, everyone's morale doubles and their fighting spirit is aroused once again.
You Xiaohun shouted, "Shimi!" Shimi understood her intention instantly, and swung the crimson Sun Blade in his hand fiercely: "Breath of Wind, Seventh Form, Strong Wind·Tengu Wind!", and the wind blade followed closely behind him. The wind blade and the talisman blended with each other, forming a powerful force.
This wind move, with its power multiplied, was like a giant blade, fiercely slashing towards Muzan. With a "crack", both of Muzan's arms were cut off.
Not enough, this is not enough!
You Xiaohun tried to raise her knife to attack, but her vision went black and her body began to sway uncontrollably. The blade in her hand stuck into the ground, and she could only rely on the knife to support her shaky body. Her mind felt like it was churning, and the intense pain made her want to vomit, but she only spat out a pool of blood.
Zi Rong sensed the turmoil in You Xiaohun's spiritual consciousness and said hurriedly, "You can't activate that ability anymore. Do you want to become an idiot?"
You Xiaohun replied weakly, "Quack! I know my limits."
Muzan watched the crowd's attacks continue, and every time he tried to harvest heads, he was interrupted. His anger reached its peak. He let out a deafening roar and launched a powerful attack.
The blow was like an explosion, a powerful force erupting instantly, cracking the surrounding ground like a spider web. Everyone was unable to dodge and was instantly blown away by this powerful force, fainting.
......
You Xiaohun's consciousness was hazy, and in her blurred vision, she saw that Tanjiro was the only one left on the battlefield, struggling to resist Muzan's attack alone.
She had to go over and help, even if it was just to relieve Tanjiro of a little bit of the pressure. However, at this moment, she didn't even have the strength to lift her hands. Her body felt like it was being weighed down by a heavy burden, unable to move.
At that moment, a soldier hurried over, carrying a medicine box on his back. He quickly squatted down and began to treat You Xiaohun. At the same time, You Xiaohun was silently circulating his internal energy, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, and trying to alleviate the disordered spiritual energy within his body.
The moment Tanjiro was tripped by a small stone, Muzan's fierce attack came again.
Having recovered some of their strength, You Xiaohun and Yihei arrived in time to block the attack. Fortunately, they only scratched their arms and were not hurt.
With the full-scale counterattack of You Xiaohun, Tanjiro and Iguro, Muzan's wounds began to become irreparable.
Muzan is weakening!!!
The crow's announcement was always so timely: "Ga! 40 minutes until dawn!"
Upon hearing this, Muzan shamelessly feinted an attack, and while everyone was dodging, he quickly tried to escape from the battlefield.
Tanjiro hurriedly shouted: "He escaped! Mr. Iguro, Xiaohun, Muzan is going to escape!!"
The three of them quickly caught up with Muzan and tried their best to stop his actions, not giving him any chance to escape.
"35 minutes until dawn!"
"Oh no! Mr. Iguro, Xiaohun, Muzan is about to split!"
"We can't let him escape!"
At this moment, Muzan suddenly became stunned and his body stopped splitting.
Miss Tamayo's medicine must have worked!
With a loud bang, a powerful force erupted, knocking the three people away. Their bodies fell heavily to the ground.
Muzan changed into a new form again, his body covered with fangs and a bloody mouth.
In his hazy consciousness, You Xiaohun saw Zenitsu and the others returning to the battlefield, and Shimizu and the others also rushed over.
You Xiaohun: Everyone is still fighting bloody battles, I can't fall here! If I have to fall, it should be that scumbag Muzan who falls first!
She once again activated her ability without hesitation. Although her body had reached its limit, she still gritted her teeth and persevered. She swung her knife and cut off the thorn whip that was stabbing Ganlu Temple, saving Ganlu Temple.
At that moment, Muzan's face opened wide, attempting to devour Tanjiro's head. His movements had been anticipated by You Xiaohun, who quickly rushed over and pinned his mouth shut with her Nichirin sword. Tanjiro also reacted quickly, pinning Muzan's mouth shut with his Nichirin sword. Shimizu and Iguro restrained Muzan from the side, preventing him from even having a chance to fight back.
Dawn is coming!
Shiya yelled, "Just hold on!"
When Muzan saw the sun about to rise, he felt a strong panic in his heart for the first time. The fear was like a tide, as if it was going to swallow him up.
He rose up and launched an attack, the force of which was even stronger than before. Everyone was blown away by it, leaving only Tanjiro holding the Nichirin Sword tightly and refusing to let go.
Muzan suddenly began to swell up and turned into a giant baby, trying to use it to block the sunlight, and Tanjiro was wrapped in his body.
Everyone had only one thought in their mind: Muzan must die today!!!
This belief is like a burning flame, supporting them to continue swinging the Sun Blade in their hands.
Every second seemed to drag on for decades, and the dawn of hope forged by everyone finally slowly rose. The sun rose in the east, its golden rays casting a shadow over the earth, dispelling the haze and darkness from the world.
Muzan's body was burned by the sun, and he screamed in pain. His body continued to shrink, and finally turned into a pile of ash.
