Zang Potian is the strongest clone of Hantengu. Not only does he possess the abilities of the previous four clones, but his "Blood Demon Art: Tree of Infinite Karma" is also astonishing.
As Zang Potian slammed his drumstick against the taiko drum behind him, thick wooden dragons lunged at Qianxia.
Mitsuri's eyes narrowed, and the Nichirin Blade in her hand was swung like a ribbon, instantly binding a wooden dragon charging straight at her. As Mitsuri's muscles tensed to eight times their normal density, she flung the huge wooden dragon away, sending it crashing into other wooden dragons.
Bang!!!
After accomplishing such a feat, Mili exclaimed, "What amazing Blood Demon Technique!", which made Zang Potian's eyebrows twitch involuntarily.
Is this woman a monster?
Although he wanted to complain about Mi Li's power, Zang Potian remained calm. The wooden dragons produced by his "Infinite Karma Tree" were infinite. If he could swing a wooden dragon once, could he swing it ten, twenty, or thirty times?
As Zeng Potian struck the taiko drum behind him again, wooden dragons rose from the ground once more. When Mili saw this, she exclaimed in surprise, "Ahhh~" and a solemn expression appeared on her face.
The wooden dragon attacked fiercely, and Mitsuri and the others engaged in a fierce battle with it.
Um... except for Chinatsu.
Chika stood behind the crowd, seemingly doing something, but Miki and the others didn't ask, because they knew Chika wasn't just slacking off; she must be doing something important.
Indeed, although Chika really wanted to slack off and be a couch potato, that was after everything had settled down. Right now, they were in the midst of a fierce battle, and Chika wasn't going to slack off.
If they really wanted to fight Zō Poten, Chika and Mitsuri could both activate their Crimson Blades, Nezuko could unleash her Blood Explosion, and Genya could become a half-demon. This level of combat power would be enough to suppress Zō Poten in a short time.
However, Zeng Potian is unkillable. In the end, he is just an avatar. As long as the main body is not dead, even if his head falls to the ground or his body is cut into countless pieces, it will not have any effect.
Therefore, we need to find the original body!
If Tanjiro were here, with his sensitive nose, he could probably pinpoint the location of the demon's true form very quickly if he took a good sniff.
Damn it, I should have known better than to let Tanjiro go with us... No, I should have gone anyway, it's really hard to feel at ease with Muichiro being all alone.
Instead of placing your hopes on others, it's better to think of ways to improve yourself.
[A Transparent World]
By abandoning other superfluous senses, concentrating one's mind, and entering a state of selflessness, finding the true form of the ghost becomes a very easy task.
However, Chika had tried to enter the "Transparent World" several times, but without exception, she failed each time.
Abandoning superfluous senses?
We can't give up any of them!
Similar to her "spider-sense," Chika's vision, hearing, touch, and reflexes far surpass those of ordinary people. It's not impossible for her to abandon these and enter a state of selflessness, but at least Chika hasn't seen that door yet.
Chika kept looking around. As time passed, finding the real demon would only become more and more troublesome, so she had to hurry.
The more Chika deliberately tried to enter the Transparent World, the stronger her senses became, as if she were resisting Chika's "tyranny".
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Wait... why don't I do the opposite?
Since we can't give it up, then we won't give it up.
Since my senses are far superior to those of ordinary people, why not further enhance them?
Enhancing vision, hearing, touch, reaction ability, perception ability... Chika took a deep breath, suddenly closed her eyes, and concentrated.
Zeng Potian looked at Chika, who was standing still and seemingly just going through the motions, with a puzzled expression. Chika's stillness contrasted sharply with that of Miri and the others who were struggling against their wooden dragon.
"Hmph! It's all for nothing."
Zeng Potian continued his frenzied attack, launching a fierce assault on Mili and the others...
At the same time, Muichiro was running quickly toward the direction from which the commotion was coming from.
"It's farther than I imagined... The loss of personnel is unavoidable... I hope the skilled swordsmith is alright... I need to get there quickly..."
Muichiro ran quickly, still some distance from the source of the commotion, but things didn't stop along the way.
A huge carp with four limbs and a large pot on its head crawled on the ground, its mouth open as it approached a frightened child who was frantically swinging a knife.
“It’s just a child… The swordsmith’s skills are probably not mature enough… Rescuing him isn’t a high priority… That ghost probably isn’t a real ghost but a product of blood demon magic… Rather than dealing with this, it’s better to kill the real thing as soon as possible…”
Muichiro was thinking very rationally in his mind.
If something happens to the whole village, prioritize saving the village chief.
If you have to choose between adults and children, prioritize saving the adults who are skilled in knife-making.
Even if I save an inexperienced swordsmith apprentice, it won't help, and I have no reason to stop because of this.
The most urgent task now is to kill the Upper Moon demon and protect the village; minor losses can be ignored.
I think I did the right thing.
Just as Muichiro was about to make a decision, a blazing flame flashed behind him.
"Hinokami Kagura: Waltz!"
Tanjiro gritted his teeth and cleaved the ferocious carp monster in two with a single strike. Finding that it could still move, Tanjiro changed his angle and unleashed another attack, "Round Dance."
The blow struck the pot on the carp monster's head, and as the pot shattered, the carp monster turned into a puddle of mud.
"Are there ghosts ahead? But you can't go this way either. There are ghosts fighting over there too. Go in another direction and find a safe place to hide. It will be over soon."
Tanjiro gently stroked the child's head, guiding him towards safety. After the child left, Tanjiro continued onward and soon caught up with Muichiro.
"Tokito-kun, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Let's go together!" Tanjiro said earnestly.
After a moment of silence, Muichiro slowly said, "Why did you choose to save that child...?"
Faced with Muichiro's question, Tanjiro replied without hesitation, "I just did what I could, and I believe that helping others will ultimately help myself. Tokito-kun, let's continue on our way."
"Uh-huh."
Hearing Tanjiro's words, Muichiro fell silent once again. He felt like he'd heard Tanjiro say those words somewhere before, somewhere, from someone very important to him...
Tanjiro and Muichiro continued their brisk advance and soon arrived at another corner of the sword-forging village, where Upper Moon Five, Gyokko, was wantonly intimidating the villagers and indulging in self-pleasure.
"What futile resistance are you putting up? You don't actually think you can handle me with your pathetic skills, do you? No way! No way!"
