I must latch onto a powerful figure! I absolutely must latch onto a powerful figure!
Murata is determined to latch onto the coattails of these "big shots" around him, not necessarily to soar to great heights, but at least to survive in this mountain.
While Chinatsu and Tanjiro severed the spider threads binding the manipulated person, they were entangled again within seconds. Chinatsu severed the threads almost instantly after they were bound.
"Something is manipulating these spider webs. We need to kill the ghost behind them. Let's split up and resolve this strange situation in the area as soon as possible."
"Okay, sister, you must be careful too!"
Tanjiro and Chinatsu decide to part ways and deal with the demons in the surrounding area as quickly as possible.
Seeing that Chinatsu and Tanjiro seemed about to part ways, Inosuke and Zenitsu, who were standing next to Murata, quickly ran over to tell them not to leave them behind.
In the end, Zenitsu followed Tanjiro, while Inosuke followed Chinatsu, and the two of them began to "clean up" the surrounding area, leaving only a bewildered Murata behind.
He originally wanted to follow, but Chika and the others were too fast. By the time Murata realized what was happening, Chika and the others had already run to a distance that he could never catch up with.
Murata gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, his hands trembling, and looked around warily, fearing that someone else might suddenly appear and stab him.
Zenitsu followed closely behind Tanjiro, who used his superhuman nose to keenly sense the scent of demons and quickly spotted the demon that was manipulating threads to control people.
Tanjiro: Found it!!!
Zenitsu: Found...found it? Where? Where?
Tanjiro leaped quickly, using the trees as support to jump repeatedly, and arrived at the female demon who was now on a branch of a large tree at an astonishing speed.
With a single, unadorned horizontal slash across the water, a simple and unadorned strike, a simple and unadorned head fell. The female demon didn't even have time to react. If she had been 100% focused from the start, she might have managed to land a blow or two, but she had underestimated Tanjiro.
As the female ghost's head fell, the spider silk that had been controlling the surrounding area instantly loosened, and one by one, people collapsed to the ground with thuds, their mouths filled with dirt.
Meanwhile, Chika noticed this. Inosuke was originally preparing to deal with the manipulated Demon Slayer Corps member in front of him, but he had just raised his sword when he encountered this scene that seemed like a staged accident, which startled him.
"Hey! I haven't even started cutting yet!"
"It seems that Tanjiro's side has succeeded."
Chika looked around and realized she needed to speed things up as well. Her target wasn't the little demons on the mountain, but the Lower Moon, "Rui."
He is the actual ruler of this mountain. Although he is only the fifth of the Lower Moons, he has considerable potential and has attracted Muzan's attention. If he is allowed to develop for a period of time, he may grow to the strength of one of the Lower Moons.
So Chika decided to use him to test her current level.
Just as Qianxia was thinking this, a sharp thread suddenly flew over from a distance. Fortunately, Qianxia's reaction was extraordinary, otherwise the thread would probably have scratched her cheek.
"Don't interfere with our family's life. But judging from your abilities, Mom probably can't kill you. In that case, I'll have to take matters into my own hands."
As the sound came from afar, Lei appeared in mid-air, with taut silk threads beneath his feet, which allowed him to stay suspended in mid-air.
When Inosuke saw that there was such a pretentious person in the world, he immediately jumped up, intending to give this pretentious person a couple of stabs.
Lei, standing on the silk threads, glanced at the pig-headed boy and glared at him. The pig-headed boy suddenly stopped, caught in mid-air by the spider silk attacking from all directions.
"Who are you."
With a very pretentious flick of his hand, Lei sent Inosuke flying with a "bang!" He rolled thirty or forty times on the ground before finally coming to a stop, where he lay there coughing heavily several times.
Wow...so strong!
Underneath the pig's head mask, Inosuke's eyes widened. He had encountered several demons since leaving the mountain, but none of them could compare to the demon before him.
This oppressive feeling... Boss!
Inosuke barely managed to get up from the ground. He endured the excruciating pain and turned to look at Chinatsu. Rui, who was watching this scene, showed a slight look of surprise. He had aimed to break Inosuke's ribcage with that attack. He should be unable to move and in great pain, let alone get up.
While Rui was wondering how this pig-headed boy could be so tough, Chika had already reached out and pulled out the Nichirin Blade from her waist again.
The clear, azure-blue Nichirin Blade drew Rui's attention back from the boar-headed boy to Chinatsu.
Water Breathing is the most common breathing technique in the Demon Slayer Corps, and he has seen far too many blue Nichirin Blades that are paired with it, but none of them are as...beautiful as the one in front of him.
"It can be kept as a collectible!"
Lei raised both hands, and supple yet sharp threads quickly formed and wrapped around his palms.
Chinatsu breathed calmly, not switching to Hinokami Kagura, but using Water Breathing instead.
Lei remained confident. He didn't believe that Chika could defeat him. In the world of demons, he was still just a "baby" and had never witnessed the high-level combat power of the Demon Slayer Corps. In his mind, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were weaklings who could be killed with a few slaps and a pull of their own threads.
With a stomp of his foot, Rei, witnessing this scene, also entered battle mode, spreading his arms and unleashing countless threads towards Chika.
When Chika took a step and should have jumped, she unusually did not leap up, but instead held back and even closed her eyes.
In the distance, the pig-headed boy Inosuke, sitting on the ground, watched Chinatsu's actions. His face under the pig's head mask became extremely exaggerated. He involuntarily waved his arm and shouted, "Open your eyes!"
What exactly is she trying to do?
Don't want to live anymore? Looking for death?
How could that be? Chika just wanted to conduct an experiment to see if the tired spider silk attack could stimulate her potential and allow her to enter the "Transparent World," even if it was just to let her touch that realm a little bit.
good!
Let's begin the experiment!
Facing Chinatsu, who had her eyes closed, a swarm of spider silk swept over her, rapidly approaching her!
