Chapter 57 Let's Run Away
Upon hearing that Tanjiro had been poisoned, Nezuko immediately took a deep breath, gripped her Nichirin Blade, and charged straight towards Lower Moon Six.
[It's too late, my brother's been poisoned, we have to kill it first!]
The moment Lower Moon Riku launched his attack, he sensed a smile.
When Nezuko raised her Nichirin Blade to look at him, Lower Moon Six's lips curled up slightly.
Just as Nezuko's blade was about to fall, Tanjiro was instantly filled with the scent of another demon. He immediately looked at Nezuko and roared.
"Little beans, watch out!"
Just as Nezuko's blade was about to sever Lower Moon Six's neck, his senses immediately issued a warning, coupled with Tanjiro's verbal reminder.
She immediately looked behind Xiaxian Lu, and a black blast of wind carrying debris from the wall rushed straight towards her side.
At the critical moment, Midouzi immediately changed the way she held the knife, and her breathing rhythm also changed rapidly.
"Water Breathing, Sixth Form: Flowing Whirlpool!"
Using the momentum, he spun around rapidly, his Nichirin Blade instantly enveloping him in a phantom of snow-white waves. He transformed into an impenetrable vortex of water, the blade colliding with the black wind cannon as it spun.
A dull thud sounded, and Mizuko was also knocked back by this attack.
When she looked up, Lower Moon Four was already standing with Lower Moon Six.
"Oh? What's going on here? Three ghosts and one human?"
Xia Xian Si looked at the situation inside the secret room and grinned.
"If I'm not mistaken, that woman should be the traitor that Lord Muzan mentioned!"
Lower Moon Riku looked at Tamayo, whose face was full of anger, with a mocking smile.
Upon hearing Lower Moon Four's words, Yushiro gritted his teeth, slowly stood up despite his numb body, and said angrily.
"What did you say?"
Tanjiro gritted his teeth and looked at Yushiro, who stood up beside him. He knew that Yushiro had been poisoned just like him, and he became anxious.
Seeing this scene, Midouzi quickly analyzed it in her mind.
[Two Lower Moon demons. According to Tamayo and Yushiro, they should have been eliminated. But now my brother is poisoned, and Yushiro is also poisoned. Tamayo shouldn't be able to fight. So... this time, I'll hold them off. Which move should I use?]
"Kid, it's already a great favor that I didn't kill you on the spot."
Lower Moon Fourth chuckled, glancing contemptuously at the barely holding on Yushiro, then pointed at the three people in the arena and said greedily.
"It's a stroke of luck that the heavens are on our side. A runaway demon, a little devil that Lord Muzan specifically requested, and... a demon slayer who smells incredibly sweet."
"Stop rambling. Remember what I said, don't underestimate your opponent."
Genroku's hoarse voice rang out, its eyes fixed on Nezuko and Tanjiro, its tone grave.
"To be able to kill the Lower Moon Two, that guy's skills are no less than ours."
As Mizuko listened to their conversation, she slowly raised her Nichirin Blade to her eyes, the blade pointing directly at Lower Moon Six.
My gut tells me to kill it first, using the Third Form!
"call--!"
She took a deep breath, her body tensed abruptly, and the fastest movement of her Water Breathing technique was already focused on the tip of her blade.
"Water Breathing, Third Form: Flowing Dance!"
The blade sliced through the air, transforming into several continuous water shadows, and the figure danced like a stream.
The blade wind, carrying tiny waves, was so fast that it was just a silvery arc, slashing straight down at Xuanlu's face!
Xia Yue Lu's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that Mizuko's attack would be so fast. He hurriedly dodged to the side, but a piece of his earlobe was still sliced off by the blade, and black blood splattered instantly.
"You bastard!"
He roared in fury, and several streaks of blood spurted from his fingertips.
"Blood Demon Art - Blood Drill Stream - Wild Thrust!"
Countless blood vessels shot out like a torrential rain, instantly sealing off all of Mi Douzi's escape routes.
Oh no, he dodged it!
A hint of unwillingness flashed in Mi Douzi's eyes, and she immediately turned over by touching the ground with her toes.
With a swift twist of his body, he effortlessly dissipated the force, and upon landing, he spun around, the blade sweeping across the ground and splashing water everywhere.
"Water Breathing - Second Form - Waterwheel!"
The circular blade, wrapped in surging waves, slammed against the blood streaks. The blood streaks immediately shattered upon hitting the water, but the blade's momentum remained undiminished, heading straight for Xia Chuanlu's lower abdomen.
"It's in the way!"
Seeing this, Xia Xian Si roared angrily, his fists filled with dense black wind.
"Blood Demon Art: Wind-Breaking Fist!"
A black wind, carrying pebbles, hurtled towards Mi Douzi's back.
Seeing that Nezuko was fighting them alone, Tanjiro wanted to drag his paralyzed body to block the attack for Nezuko.
However, the toxins in the body spread too quickly, and even though the ghost's regenerative abilities were constantly breaking down the toxins, it was still too late.
He then looked at the Nichirin Blade in his hand, and without hesitation, threw it out like a javelin.
Nezuko also sensed the danger behind her and wanted to immediately change her Water Breathing technique.
But the next second, a sudden jolt made her catch her breath, which startled her.
She immediately withdrew her attack and dodged outwards.
The black force of the punch still grazed her back, causing her a sharp pain.
At this critical moment, Tanjiro's Nichirin Blade arrived through the air and accurately pierced the head of Lower Moon Four.
As black blood splattered, Lower Moon Four's movements suddenly froze, the black wind in his fists instantly dissipated, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment.
Nezuko immediately and quietly retreated to Tanjiro's side.
"Nie Douzi, how are you?"
Tanjiro pressed for an answer, his eyes filled with anxiety.
"I'm fine...cough cough!"
As soon as Ni Douzi opened her mouth, a surge of emotion welled up in her chest, and she couldn't help but cough softly.
What happened? My breathing suddenly stopped! Was I poisoned?
She raised her hand to wipe away the few drops of blood that had seeped from the corner of her mouth, her brows furrowed as she intently examined herself.
Upon closer inspection, there was no toxin spreading within my body. The only pain was a burning sensation on my back where the fist had grazed me. It was just a minor abrasion, but the brief pause in breathing just now was undeniably real!
When Tanjiro saw the blood at the corner of her mouth, his killing intent surged instantly. His demon-transformed body operated at full power, frantically breaking down the toxins in his body, and the numbness was rapidly fading.
Yushiro arrived at Tamayo's side at this time. Tamayo breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yushiro was recovering quickly.
"Yushiro, how are you? Are you alright?"
Yushiro felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing Tamayo's concern, but the next second he immediately grabbed Tamayo's hands and spoke in a quicker tone.
"Miss Tamayo, let's run! Their target is Tanjiro and the others. Let's escape in the chaos!"
Upon hearing Yushiro's words, Tamayo covered her mouth in surprise, as if struck by lightning, and exclaimed in shock.
"What?"
As soon as the exclamation fell, Yushiro immediately turned around and shielded Tamayo behind him, his tone changing abruptly as he whispered urgently.
"I was just kidding!"
