Chapter 177 Dispersion
"Are you happy...?"
Tamayo stared blankly as Ichiro suddenly rushed forward, her mind a complete mess. She was prepared to die alongside Muzan.
Looking at Ichiro's familiar moves, she thought she knew who he was. She remembered her years of perseverance, others who shared the same goal, and Yushiro who had always been by her side. Tears welled up in her eyes.
You're so kind, Mr. Iwakatsu.
Ichiro saw the black thorns blocked by Gyomei, and with a leap, he swung his sword at Muzan's abdomen.
"Is it you?! What did you do to our lord?!"
Sanemi's voice came, and Muzan also noticed the pillars that had gathered close by. His outstretched hand suddenly stabbed towards Ichiro.
"when--."
The fingernail made a loud noise when it touched the blade, and Yuichiro used the force to tumble in the air and come to a steady stop on the ground.
"Be careful!! He's Muzan! Kibutsuji Muzan! He won't die even if you cut off his neck!" Xingming shouted, pulling on the chains to warn the others who were rushing over.
It's him? / It's him! / He is…
The arriving group gritted their teeth, gripped their Nichirin Blades, and charged towards Muzan from all sides.
Water/Love/Mist/Insect/Flame/Serpent/Wind Breathing!
Hinokami Kagura!
Muzan looked at the people who were close at hand, sneered, and the originally flat ground suddenly changed, revealing layers of wooden buildings.
"You think you've cornered me? Go to hell, you damned demon hunters!"
"Damn it! What is that?!"
With Sanemi's furious outburst, everyone fell into different mouths. Tanjiro glared at Muzan and roared, "You're the one who should go to hell, Muzan!!"
"hehe--."
Muzan vanished, and Tanjiro stared at the bottomless abyss below, his mind racing. His descent was fraught with difficulty; the rapid fall prevented him from executing any techniques.
"Snap—".
Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed Tanjiro's haori, throwing him to the spot below. Tanjiro rolled over and looked over, only to see Giyu's head looking down.
"Are you alright?"
"It's alright! Thank you."
"I'm so glad I survived," Tanjiro said, as a hideous demon behind him stretched out its long, sharp claws to grab his head. In an instant, Tanjiro drew his sword, and water flowed along the blade as he severed the demon's head.
Water Breathing - First Form - Water Surface Slash
"Tanjiro!!"
Giyu shouted, and then the door in front of Tanjiro was smashed open, and several demons rushed towards him. Just as the demons' claws were less than two fist-widths away from Tanjiro, red and gold flames swirled from behind the demons.
"Breath of Flame - Raging Form - The Winding of Blazing Flame".
Kyojuro burst out of the whirlpool and landed steadily in front of Tanjiro after severing the necks of all the demons.
"Mr. Purgatory!!"
Tanjiro looked at the other person with surprise, as he had not seen him for a long time. Kyojuro's instruction was scheduled after Giyu's due to personal reasons.
"Hey! Kitchen boy, you look pretty good. You've grown a lot lately."
Kyojuro straightened up and greeted him with a bright smile. Tanjiro nodded vigorously in agreement, "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Rengoku."
"Hahahaha." Kyojuro laughed, reaching out to pat his head. Giyu jumped down and stood beside the two of them.
"Let's go."
——
"Serpent Breathing, Form Five, Winding Serpent".
Iguro's figure moved swiftly through the gaps in the demons' attacks, his Nichirin Blade slicing across the demons' heads with each movement, severing several heads in an instant.
"Don't come near Ganlu Temple, you scum."
Wow—that's fantastic, Mr. Iguro!
Looking at the handsome Iguro, Mitsuri couldn't help but cover her burning cheeks with her hands.
Are you hurt?
"No!"
"They're gone."
"OK!"
Meanwhile, on the other side
Muichiro, who fell at the same time as Gyomei, hopped and ran through the corridor, slaying the demons that suddenly appeared with incredible speed.
"There are many ghosts, and many traps that appear suddenly."
"It seems that the demons who use this Blood Demon Art are not easy to deal with, and these demons have been given the level of a Lower Moon demon, probably to wear us down."
Muichiro nodded. He looked at Gyomei's back and hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "My lord... how is he?"
“I’ll go first,” Xingming said calmly, having already anticipated this outcome. Wuyilang paused for a moment before continuing, “I don’t think he’ll be discovered by the demons… Did he sacrifice himself as bait?”
"Yes, because time is running out."
Xingming didn't turn around, but answered Muichiro's words word by word, and kept running forward.
The death of their lord was a heavy blow to them, igniting the anger in their hearts. Sanemi, sitting alone, swung his hand and slew the demons that approached him; he clenched his teeth, his mind in turmoil.
However, mindless demons swarmed forth like insects, fueling Sanemi's grief and rage. He stared at the charging demons, his hand gripping his Nichirin Blade tightly.
"You disgusting things, popping up one after another, I'm going to wipe you all out without leaving a single one alive!"
In every corner of the Infinity Castle, Inosuke dodged the sudden spikes with his keen senses, drew his sword and killed the gaping demon, then ran forward without hesitation.
As Genmi ran with all his might, he looked around for Sanemi's whereabouts. Suddenly, he stopped abruptly and jumped back, narrowly avoiding a bottomless pit in front of him. He almost fell in.
He frowned and jumped over the side wall. There were many traps here, and he was a little worried that Sanemi hadn't noticed. He still had to find his older brother quickly.
When the Infinity Castle appeared, Zenitsu was pulling Kaigaku's haori down with him. If he hadn't reacted extremely quickly and used a technique to cushion the fall, he would have been half crippled.
Kaiyue wasn't so lucky. He had landed steadily on the ground, but was suddenly crushed and knocked to the ground, his bruised arm throbbing with pain.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, big brother!"
Zenitsu opened his eyes after realizing he was no longer falling. He looked around and found himself sitting on Kaigaku's back, pressing down on him so hard he could hardly breathe.
Kaigaku got up, dusted himself off, glared at him fiercely, and then turned and ran forward. He had some knowledge of the architecture of Infinite City and observed the buildings from memory.
"Big brother, watch out!!"
Zenitsu shouted when he saw the spikes that suddenly appeared, but Kaigaku nimbly dodged them, then lowered his body to perfectly avoid the logs that suddenly flew at him, and then smoothly dodged several traps in succession.
"?" Why are you so skilled at this?
Kaigaku rolled his eyes at Zenitsu, who was still standing there in a daze, and said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you so slow?"
"Oh, here it comes—."
at the same time
Shinobu walked slowly. The river beside the wooden corridor was covered with lotus flowers, and the scenery looked beautiful, but she dared not let her guard down. She smelled blood.
She noticed that this seemed different from the walls she had seen along the way; it was a door. She carefully reached out and opened it, and a strong smell of blood wafted out.
Before her eyes lay a field of lotus flowers, with a winding wooden bridge spanning them. The bridge was covered with the corpses of women, and the sounds of chewing, along with the red stains on the ground, irritated Shinobu Kocho's senses.
Doma, who had his back to her, noticed the commotion and turned to look at her. He was holding a severed arm in both hands, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. The number Upper Moon Two was etched in his seven-colored eyes, which curved slightly when he saw Shinobu Kocho.
"She's here? Wow—it's a girl! She looks young and delicious. I'll have to thank Naruto later."
