Chapter 242

Inosuke Hashibira detected the location of the demon.

The only Demon Slayer Corps member who wasn't controlled chose to stay behind alone to block the controlled members.

Tanjiro and Inosuke Hashibira went to find the demon.

On the way, they scraped against many threads.

They even met a Demon Slayer Corps member.

"No, don't come over."

"Hurry and bring some high-ranked swordsmen over, otherwise everyone will be killed."

The one speaking was a female Demon Slayer Corps member.

On her body, there were over ten threads.

On the ground around her were many corpses of Demon Slayer Corps members.

Clearly, they were all killed by her while she was controlled by the demon.

"Please, hurry and go!"

The Demon Slayer Corps member even started crying.

As soon as she finished speaking, she moved involuntarily.

Wielding the Nichirin sword in her hand, she attacked Tanjiro.

"Clang, clang, clang!!"

Tanjiro fought with his sword, firmly holding the upper hand.

At this moment, the two Demon Slayer Corps members who were originally lying on the ground suddenly stood up again.

Tanjiro and Inosuke Hashibira didn't kill them.

Instead, they used the demon's threads to hang them on a tree.

This way, these controlled Demon Slayer Corps comrades couldn't attack them anymore.

But before Tanjiro could be happy for long.

Those Demon Slayer Corps members hanging on the tree had their necks twisted by the demon using threads.

"..."

Tanjiro saw this scene and didn't say much.

He just walked silently toward a Demon Slayer Corps member nearby.

After looking at the other for a moment, he spoke, "Let's go."

"Yeah..."

Then, the two quickly moved forward toward the location of the demon.

On the way, the wind direction changed.

Tanjiro's nose could also come in handy.

At this moment, he smelled two scents.

Which meant there was more than one demon nearby.

Furthermore, one was very close to them now.

They could even see the other party.

"Inosuke!"

"I found it first, watch me cut off its head!"

Inosuke Hashibira held his dual blades and jumped toward the figure.

However, just as he was about to cut off the other's head.

He discovered that this person in front of him had no head at all!

"Clang!"

Inosuke Hashibira's dual blades slashed against the other's blade.

The other's strength was great, and Inosuke Hashibira's slash achieved nothing.

"This guy..."

Inosuke Hashibira looked at the figure in front of him in surprise, "No head!"

He saw that not far from the two of them, there was a figure.

This figure was two or three meters tall, and where the fingers should be, there were things like blades.

But what was surprising was.

The other party had no head.

"Bad, the other party has no vital point."

"What do we do!"

Inosuke Hashibira panicked.

Because a demon's weakness is its head.

This enemy in front of them had no head, which meant no weakness.

"Calm down."

Tanjiro said: "Cut from the base of the neck to the left waist."

"The range to cut is very wide, and it looks very sturdy."

"But it should be possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Inosuke Hashibira charged over.

However, the other's speed was too fast.

And there was a demon manipulating threads in the dark.

In just one round, Inosuke Hashibira was injured.

At this moment, Tanjiro immediately rushed up to block the other's blade.

And cut the threads.

The two cooperated, first cutting off the headless demon's limbs, then slaying it.

Afterward, Inosuke threw Tanjiro into the air.

Tanjiro in the air saw the demon manipulating the threads.

He prepared to kill the other.

He gripped the blade in his hand and fell toward that demon.

"Water Breathing, First Form."

On the way.

Tanjiro noticed that the demon gave up resistance and changed his move.

He flipped his blade, aiming the back of the blade at the demon.

"Fifth Form, Blessed Rain After the Drought."

A fine stream of water appeared on the blade.

Tanjiro's sword drew a gentle arc in the air.

At this moment.

That demon felt as if he were being gently patted by raindrops.

No pain, no suffering.

Instead, it was very comfortable and warm.

The moment before death.

She saw a pair of gentle eyes.

She remembered that when she was still human, someone seemed to have looked at her like this too.

It's just that she couldn't remember who that person was.

Nor did she know how that person was doing now.

At the very last moment.

"There is a Twelve Kizuki."

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Be careful."

And then.

Gradually dissipated.

There is a Twelve Kizuki...

The real Twelve Kizuki is in this mountain.

Tanjiro's expression became heavy.

At this moment, Zenitsu Agatsuma also encountered a demon.

Because he was poisoned by the demon.

Even though he had already slain the demon, he couldn't move anymore.

He could only lie on the ground, trying his best to use breathing to slow the flow of the toxin.

Tanjiro and the other encountered a demon again while moving forward.

This time it was still a big one and a small one.

The large demon actually had a head like a spider.

The other's massive body and spider head gave Tanjiro and the other a fright.

"Don't come near my family!"

The spider-headed demon roared and swung his fist at Inosuke Hashibira.

Inosuke retreated to dodge.

The spider head attacked again, the target still being Inosuke Hashibira.

And at this moment, Inosuke was in the air and couldn't dodge in time.

"Water Breathing, Second Form."

"Water Wheel!"

At this moment, Tanjiro suddenly appeared and slashed at the demon's arm.

However, the other's arm was very sturdy.

Even using a move, Tanjiro couldn't cut it.

Afterward, Tanjiro and the other started a battle with this tall demon.

During the battle, Tanjiro was knocked flying, leaving Inosuke Hashibira alone to face the demon.

When Tanjiro landed, he discovered two demons.

One of them was the demon who had left just now.

The other was the demon who had appeared high in the air earlier, stepping on threads.

Facing this demon, Tanjiro felt immense pressure.

Even the air had changed.

Originally, Tanjiro, who intended to support Inosuke Hashibira immediately, could only stay behind to deal with the demon in front of him.

However, this demon was too powerful.

Even though Tanjiro had seen many demons, he was still shocked by the strength of the demon in front of him.

Just from the first exchange, Tanjiro had many more wounds on his body.

Even the Nichirin sword in his hand broke while slashing the threads.

"This..."

Tanjiro looked at the broken blade in his hand, shocked.

The sword broke?

How is this possible!

Just now, when he used the sword to slash the demon fighting Inosuke Hashibira, it didn't break.

Now it broke just from slashing the threads!

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, another thread was whipped over.

Tanjiro could only dodge passively.

However, he knew that just dodging wouldn't lead to victory.

The other's strength was so great, he definitely couldn't run away.

Tanjiro's personality also didn't allow him to run away.

A network composed of two threads flew toward Tanjiro.

This grid was too fast, and there was no time to dodge.

"Bad!"

Tanjiro shouted to himself that it was bad.
