Chapter 331

The fleshy mass connecting the head-shaped yameng to the carriage was instantly frozen at incredible speed.

It turned pale with horror: "What kind of power is this?!"

The next second.

Its head-shaped form was completely encased in ice, forming a grotesque and revolting ice sculpture.

Zenitsu stared blankly: "I-it's frozen?"

"Aren't we not in winter right now?"

Tanjiro and Inosuke also had no idea what had just happened.

"With me here, the passengers' safety is no concern—go find its weakness."

Luo En's calm voice echoed beside the three.

The three felt a slight shock inside.

"Could this be… done by Mr. Luo En?"

Zenitsu exclaimed in awe.

No response.

"I've already felt it—something revolting is coming from ahead."

Inosuke stared toward the front of the train.

Tanjiro suppressed his shock, took a deep breath, and his gaze hardened once more: "Zenitsu, Inosuke, let's go."

The three sprinted toward the front of the train.

The closer they got to the front, the stronger the revolting aura became.

When they reached the train's power source, the revolting aura of the demon reached its peak.

"Ohohohaaah!! No mistake—this is its neck, the demon's weakness!"

Inosuke shouted excitedly and charged into the carriage first, blade in hand.

Instantly.

Around them, countless fleshy masses emerged, and dozens of revolting arms reached for Inosuke.

"Disgusting!"

He swung his blade.

Immediately after, Tanjiro and Zenitsu also burst into the carriage.

The three slashed together at the yameng!

When the three cut through the floor and exposed the cervical vertebrae.

Countless strange eyes sprouted from the surrounding fleshy walls.

The moment they saw those eyes, the three were instantly hypnotized into a dream.

As Tanjiro and Inosuke lost consciousness and were about to be seized by the demon's hands—

Zenitsu, who had been hiding behind Tanjiro and Inosuke, transformed completely after falling into the dream, as if he had become someone else.

In short… he had just taken a massive dump.

He opened his clouded eyes, assumed a drawing stance, exhaled thick white vapor from nose and mouth, and stomped the ground hard.

"Thunder Breathing, First Form."

A flash of lightning.

With a thunderous crack splitting the air, a golden bolt of lightning flashed through the carriage.

All the demon arms were severed at once!

Tanjiro and Inosuke snapped back to consciousness.

Seizing the moment, they launched their killing strikes downward at the cervical vertebrae, about to be hidden by the healing flesh.

Beasts' Breathing, Fourth Fang: Shattered Blade, Drifting Fragments!

Sun Breathing, Second Form: Azure Heaven!

As these two slashes came down—

The cervical vertebrae were severed.

The entire train shuddered; the front and body split apart.

Then.

A piercing, agonized scream erupted from inside the train.

"Gaaahhhhhhh!!!"

As countless massive revolting flesh masses burst forth from the train, threatening to overflow and overturn it entirely—

"This is bad!!"

Inosuke sweated profusely: "We cut its neck… this thing is rolling around!"

Injured Tanjiro shouted urgently: "The train's tipping! Inosuke, take Zenitsu and the conductor out—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Inside the swaying carriage, Luo En stirred his will.

The power of the Ice Emperor Artifact activated.

In an instant.

Countless runaway, bloated flesh masses were frozen solid.

The entire speeding train was instantly halted by ice.

Tanjiro and Inosuke, who had just been panicking, froze in stunned silence.

"It… stopped?"

"What happened?"

When Tanjiro and Inosuke carried the unconscious Shinobu and the fainted conductor down from the broken carriage onto the grass, they turned back and saw the entire Infinite Train, along with the fleshy chunks, frozen solid.

Tanjiro and Inosuke stared at the scene before them, stunned, their eyes wide with shock: "The whole train… was frozen solid?"

"This is Mr. Luo En's power… how astonishing."

After the shock passed.

Tanjiro glanced inside the carriage and found all two hundred passengers still asleep or unconscious, all unharmed.

He let out a long breath of relief. "Good, everyone is safe."

Relaxed, he sank down onto the ground.

"Well done."

Luo En's voice sounded beside their ears.

They turned their heads.

There, smiling, stood Luo En and Nezuko beside him.

The decapitated Enmu, carrying his final thread of resentment, slowly turned to ash.

The ice on the train gradually shattered, falling like snow, glistening under the bright moonlight.

Tanjiro looked at Luo En, about to speak.

Luo En turned his head to the side.

The next instant.

A figure slammed heavily onto the ground, accompanied by a thud—the earth trembled, then kicked up a cloud of dust.

"!!"

Tanjiro and Inosuke were startled, turning to look.

From the dust, a muscular figure gradually emerged.

As the dust cleared.

It revealed its full form.

Twelve Demon Moons, Upper Rank Three, Akaza.

The moment Tanjiro saw the character in its eyes signifying its rank, his heart jolted.

Upper Rank… Three.

Why is it here?!

Thud!

Another thud.

Akaza's figure vanished from its spot in an instant.
