Inside the underground cave.
With a series of booming slashes, the ribbon belonging to Daki's clone was cut into pieces. Of course, the two paid special attention to the part of the ribbon that sealed people inside. With their combined efforts, one after another, beautiful girls and women jumped out of the ribbon as if they had suddenly come to life.
Most of them were still unconscious when they were unsealed from the ribbon, except for Tengen's two wives. Their bodies tumbled in the air and landed on the ground in a very ninja-like manner, kicking up a cloud of dust.
There was smoke, but no injury!
"We are here..."
Despite landing nimbly on instinct, the two were still somewhat confused about what had happened until they looked up and saw Tianyuan, who had stopped working and sheathed his sword not far away. Only then did they realize that Tianyuan had saved them.
"Sorry I'm late, but seeing that you don't seem to be hurt too badly makes me feel much better." Tengen turned to look at Maki and Suma and said.
"Lord Tengen!!!"
Maki and Suma completely ignored the "third party" present and rushed into Tengen's arms.
First line: I envy neither mandarin ducks nor immortals.
The second line reads: "I only envy the sound pillar every day."
Horizontal inscription: Gritting teeth!!!
If Zenitsu were to witness this scene, there's a 10% chance he'd grit his teeth and angrily complain, and a 90% chance he'd faint from anger on the spot.
He failed seven times in a row in his search for a girlfriend, and was swindled out of all his money. If it weren't for his master from the Demon Slayer Corps rescuing him, who knows what he would be doing now.
Tengen comes from a ninja family, so having three wives is not unusual for his family. The three wives have no objections to this, and although it was an arranged marriage, their feelings for Tengen are not a casual thing.
Before they came into contact with Tengen, they were also ninjas. They did not resist death and devoted themselves to missions. This was the education they received from childhood because they were ninjas.
The appearance and actions of Tianyuan made them realize their value as human beings.
[You only need to think about your own survival. No matter what you have to abandon, you must come back alive. Survival is more important than the mission.]
[I've clearly and elegantly ranked the value of human lives. The most important are the three of you, followed by ordinary people, and then me. As members of the Demon Slayer Corps, it's natural to protect defenseless ordinary people, but to be honest, I care about you more, so don't die.]
Feeling the sweet atmosphere of "Love! Love!" from the side, Chika, who was being fed dog food as a third party, crossed her arms, looked her head slightly in another direction, and couldn't help but purse her lips.
"By the way, Hinatsuru, where's Hinatsuru? Is she alright?"
After a series of "Love!"s, Mu Xu suddenly realized that someone was missing. Tian Yuan calmly replied, "It's okay. Hina Tsuru wasn't locked up with you. She's outside. She's already been rescued."
Upon hearing this, Maki and Suma breathed a sigh of relief, finally noticing Chika's presence.
"Lord Tianyuan, she is... "
"Chinatsu, the newly promoted [Pillar] of the Demon Slayer Corps, is incredibly flashy."
Although the introduction to Tengen is extremely brief, those familiar with Tengen can understand just how "super gorgeous" this evaluation truly means.
The two hurriedly tried to apologize for ignoring Chinatsu, but Chinatsu waved them off with an indifferent expression, even though it had been a little awkward...
After rescuing Maki and Suma, the group returned to the surface. Although there were many other people in the cave, it was actually safer for them since the Upper Moons had not yet been defeated.
As they returned to Earth, they witnessed the spectacular moment when Daki was beheaded.
Inosuke charged towards Daki with a burst of energy, but because her "backup hidden energy" had been destroyed, Daki was thrown into a panic. She hurriedly waved her hands, and countless ribbons flew towards Inosuke, but without exception, they were blocked and cut into pieces by Inosuke.
At the same time, Tanjiro, who was behind Inosuke, leaped up and slashed at Daki's neck from top to bottom.
"Hinokami Kagura: Radiant Grace!"
Spiral flames engulfed Daki's body from top to bottom, while the Nichirin Blade hidden within the flames aimed at Daki's neck, piercing through it with a sword aura as fiery as the sun.
With a "whoosh!" sound, Daki's head fell off her neck with a dumbfounded look in her eyes, and her body knelt on the ground.
Decapitation successful!
However, aside from Daki's shock after the successful decapitation, Tanjiro was also extremely shocked.
Really... he's been cut off?
No way, shouldn't it have struggled a little longer? Surely the Upper Moon's neck wouldn't be so easily severed? One is Upper Moon Three, the other Upper Moon Six—is the difference really that big?
Tanjiro didn't understand, and Daki understood even less.
Since becoming an Upper Moon demon, she has rarely faced a tough battle, and she has never had her neck severed by a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Feeling this unprecedented humiliation, large tears welled up in Daki's eyes.
Just as Tanjiro was astonished that Daki's head hadn't turned to dust even after falling to the ground, Daki closed her eyes with tears in them and let out an extremely aggrieved cry.
"elder brother!!!"
With Daki's shout, a strong sense of crisis surged fiercely from her. Tanjiro gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, wanting to attack immediately, but the oppressive feeling interfered with his movements, making him somewhat sluggish.
Just as his Nichirin Blade swung towards Daki again, a crisp clanging sound rang out. Tanjiro's eyes twitched; his Nichirin Blade had been blocked by a blood-red short scythe.
In front of Tanjiro, a thin, naked man held a blood-stained scythe in one hand to block Tanjiro's Nichirin Blade, and with the other hand, he picked up Daki's head, which had fallen to the ground, and gently pressed it back onto her body.
"Why didn't you just let me out in the first place...? Look at you... you've been beaten up like this... you're really missing a screw..." The gaunt man stroked Daki's hair as he comforted her with his words.
Sobbing and whimpering, Daki pleaded with her brother, "Brother, avenge me! Kill them all! These people are awful! They ganged up on me..."
At this moment, the entire atmosphere of the battle seemed to change, but everyone understood why: it all stemmed from the appearance of this gaunt, naked, green-haired man.
Tanjiro leaped backward to create distance between them, watching them warily. As the other turned to face Tanjiro, Tanjiro was surprised to find that his eyes, like Daki's, were also marked with the symbol of Upper Moon Six.
Two Upper Moon Sixes? Or is he the original?
At this moment, Tanjiro's brain was working frantically. Although his aura was different from Akaza's, compared to Daki, Tanjiro could only say that he finally felt right for her...
