As a dry, brittle hand reached in from outside, everyone inside immediately sensed something amiss, and all five turned to look in the direction of the opened door.
After the dry firewood reached in, an ugly-looking and trembling "old man" slowly got up from outside.
He slightly raised his head and looked at the people in the room. At this moment, not only were the people in the room stunned, but the ghost that had crawled into the room was also stunned.
Everyone: What is that? Is it a ghost? How could a ghost appear here? We didn't sense its presence at all before entering the house. Lower Moon? Could it be an Upper Moon?!
The moment they saw Hantengu, everyone immediately went into battle mode, their auras surging out fiercely.
Half-day Dog was stunned. He felt a terrifying aura emanating from in front of him. His body stiffened at first, and then he involuntarily stepped back, reaching out to pull the door shut.
Half-day Dog: Sorry to bother you...
"Breathing of the Mist - Fourth Form - Flowing Slash".
Muichiro took the initiative, unleashing a sword aura of the Breath of Mist as swift as ink, making it difficult to detect his figure before the strike. However, this swift attack failed to hit Hantengu.
In the original story, Hantengu dodged Muichiro's attack by jumping directly onto the ceiling inside the house, but now Hantengu wouldn't dare jump into the house at all; he wouldn't dare go inside even a little bit.
Is he the Upper Moon, or the Upper Moon Four?
He originally possessed the confidence and pride of an Upper Moon demon, but that confidence vanished after Akaza, who was even stronger than him, died at the hands of the Demon Slayer Corps.
As for pride... what good is pride?!
Life is the most important thing!
Hantengu barely dodged Muichiro's attack. He turned around, crying and crawling on the ground like a gecko.
Contrary to his frail and thin appearance, he was surprisingly fast at running away.
"So fast... I couldn't kill him... Chase after him."
Muichiro muttered to himself, then gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly and quickly chased after Hantengu.
The people inside the house weren't just watching the show. Although they reacted a beat slower than Muichiro, they also stood up after Muichiro unleashed his sword strike and followed behind him, chasing after the Half-Headed Dog.
The dog was completely bewildered.
The dog panicked after a while.
Half-day dog was covered in sweat!
When Hantengu arrived at the sword-forging village, he was mentally prepared to clash with the pillars, but he couldn't handle so many at once.
Half-Heaven Dog crawled forward with great effort. He has the ability to create clones. If the tiny original body inside him cannot be found, even if his neck is cut off, he will only create powerful clones.
But he had a premonition that if he got entangled with them and chose to fight this group of Demon Slayers, he might end up in hell to join Akaza, Gyutaro, and Daki... Oh my god, they're still chasing me!!!
Hantengu turned his head slightly to look behind him and saw Muichiro with a serious expression closest to him, with Chinatsu, Mitsuri, Tanjiro, and even Nezuko following behind, chasing after him.
Suddenly, Muichiro leaped forward and unleashed "Breathing of Mist - Fourth Form - Flowing Slash" once more. Hantengu hastily jumped, narrowly dodging Muichiro's attack from behind.
I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!
If there were one or two fewer people behind him, Half-Heaven Dog wouldn't be so cowardly, but that's impossible; there are just this many people chasing him right now.
A strong sense of fear welled up in Hantengu's heart, and he even sent out a distress signal to Muzan.
Under normal circumstances, demons cannot actively contact Muzan; only Muzan can directly contact his demon subordinates.
However, there are always exceptions. For example, during the battle on the Mugen Train, when Akaza saw the Crimson Blade and the Hinokami Kagura, Muzan's strong fear of Yoriichi Tsugikuni was transmitted to Akaza, and Akaza's emotions were also transmitted to Muzan through this connection.
But now, this exception has occurred again.
Inside the Infinite City.
As always, Muzan was experimenting with various potions, trying to see if he could avoid the "Blue Spider Lily" and become stronger, no longer afraid of sunlight.
The "Blue Spider Lily" has become a kind of inner demon in Muzan's heart. After all, he has been searching for this mere flower ever since he became a demon, and now, more than a thousand years later, he still has not found a single clue.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but Upper Moon's repeated defeats made him feel a "change" that was the opposite of "eternity".
Muzan held the fragile medicine test tube in his hand carefully and gently. The liquid inside the test tube was multicolored, and it was unknown how many different liquids he had mixed.
Just as Muzan was about to pour the liquid from the test tube into his mouth, a cry for help from Hantengu exploded in Muzan's mind like a bang.
"Lord Muzan! Help... Help... Help... Help... Help... Help!!!"
Startled by Hantengu's sudden shout, Muzan tightened his grip, and the test tube he had been gently holding instantly shattered into pieces with a crack.
The liquid inside the test tube flowed into his hand, and shards of the test tube pierced his flesh.
"Half-day dog!!!"
Muzan's voice appeared in Hantengu's mind like a demon. Although Hantengu could tell that Muzan was very angry, he still felt more at ease than fear when he was being chased by so many people.
"Lord Muzan! Lord Muzan! I've found the location of the Swordsmith Village, but there are two... three... four... anyway, a lot of Pillars there, and they're chasing me right behind me! I need backup! I need backup!"
Hantengu's pitiful words completely stunned Muzan. He raised his head slightly and tried to recall the scene Hantengu had described. Surprisingly, his first reaction was not anger, but... a desire to laugh.
Muzan was amused by Hantengu, and his anger subsided somewhat. But after calming down a bit, he suddenly frowned as he thought of something.
"Half-Headed Dog, were any of the swordsmen chasing you wearing earrings with a floral pattern?!"
Muzan's expression was grave, while Hantengu clenched his teeth, wanting to show that even turning his head to look behind him was dangerous in his current state.
There was nothing they could do; it was Muzan's order.
Half-Heaven Dog risked being beheaded and turned to look behind him.
Chasing the first row: Tokito Muichiro.
no.
Chasing the second row: Kanroji Mitsuri, Kamado Chinatsu.
no.
Chasing the third row: Kamado Tanjiro and Kamado Nezuko.
Found him! It's this boy!
