Just at this critical moment, Nezuko, who had broken free from the Sorrow Demon, launched a flying kick at the Pleasure Demon, knocking the Pleasure Demon to the ground.
Immediately, Nezuko protected Tanjiro.
"Nezuko~"
Tanjiro, whose head was still throbbing painfully, couldn't help but call out Nezuko's name and struggled to get up.
At this time, Tanjiro's nose sensed the movement of Hantengu's main body's scent. So, he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Genya, that guy is moving south!"
Hantengu's main body's refusal to show himself made Tanjiro even more certain that the hidden fifth demon was Hantengu's weakness.
Genya Shinazugawa was nearby, so he could hear Tanjiro's deliberate shouting. Although the volume of the sound that was transmitted was weakened a lot, he could still hear what Tanjiro was saying relatively clearly.
So, Genya Shinazugawa had no choice but to grope his way south.
However, Genya Shinazugawa, who hadn't seen a demon for a long time, was also a little anxious in his heart.
If Hantengu's main body was nearby, such a large target would obviously be easy to find. But Genya Shinazugawa hadn't even seen a shadow. The situation was indeed a little abnormal!
However, Genya Shinazugawa didn't doubt Tanjiro's judgment, because Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure had all gathered here on their own initiative. That obviously meant that the main body was here. Otherwise, there was no reason for them to be so defensive.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Is he using a Blood Demon Art to make himself invisible?!" Genya Shinazugawa was extremely anxious in his heart, because he hated this kind of situation the most. Compared to hide-and-seek, Genya Shinazugawa still preferred to face his opponents head-on.
Tanjiro, who had gotten up, immediately reported another direction to Genya, "To your right in the west. He's near you!"
Just as Tanjiro's voice fell, the Joy Demon, who had his wings cut off, launched a sonic attack on Tanjiro.
Having lost his wings, the Joy Demon could no longer fly. In addition, the Joy Demon's limbs were still in the state of eagle claws. So, he couldn't rely on those eagle claws to move at high speed on the ground, let alone fight Tanjiro head-on.
Even if the Joy Demon could change his eagle claw form into normal limbs, the Joy Demon had long been accustomed to aerial combat. Even if he gave up his half-human, half-beast form, it would be difficult to deal with Tanjiro.
Because in terms of combat, apart from the Sorrow Demon, who used a spear and was good at combat, Joy, Anger, and Pleasure weren't good at it.
The Anger Demon was completely incapable of close combat, while the Joy Demon relied on the acceleration of flight to launch blitz attacks on enemies. In other words, he used a cowardly style of play that involved hitting and running. There was no real combat skill involved.
Although the Pleasure Demon wasn't very good at combat either, he was skilled in unorthodox close combat. In other words, the Anger Demon's fighting style was like a street brawl.
The Joy Demon's sonic waves made Tanjiro's head throb even more painfully. Tanjiro immediately covered his ears, trying to weaken the stimulation of the sonic waves on his eardrums and brain.
If Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui was here, he might be able to easily dissolve the Joy Demon's sonic waves. After all, Sound Breathing could generate high-frequency vibrations. High-frequency vibrations acting on objects could also emit high-frequency sound waves.
In other words, if Tengen Uzui faced the Joy Demon, he would definitely not be affected by the sonic waves.
