"The Main Body has been discovered!"
Above, Zohakuten, who had a connection with the Main Body, realized the fact that the Main Body, hidden within the Infinity Castle, had been discovered.
His expression changed abruptly.
Not good!
If this continued, he might really be dragged to his death here.
Having finally become Upper Rank Three, he did not want to be taken out so quickly; he still had to fulfill the long-cherished wish of that person.
He had to escape quickly and get to the Main Body.
"Looking at your expression..." Just as he was distracted, Sanemi Shinazugawa, bearing some abrasions on his body, broke through the blockade of the Wood Dragon and rushed in front of him.
"You found it, didn't you? The Main Body."
The alluring scent of blood faintly wafted into his nostrils, making Zohakuten feel a bit dizzy.
Damn fellow!
Zohakuten retreated, and heads of the Wood Dragon slammed into his previous position, forcing back Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had managed to cut his way up.
"Tsk..." Sanemi Shinazugawa clicked his tongue in annoyance.
This guy was truly troublesome. Relying on the properties of his own Rare Blood, after Genya left, he had chopped off this guy's head again and again, but he just couldn't kill him.
He had thought there would at least be some weakening, but he didn't expect him to be completely unaffected.
Truly troublesome.
However, looking at him, Genya must have already found the target.
He just needed to stall a little longer.
Sanemi Shinazugawa narrowed his eyes, watching the agitated Zohakuten before him.
Sanemi Shinazugawa curled the corners of his mouth slightly: "So, who has the upper hand now?"
"Despicable wretch!" Zohakuten's teeth were almost crushed.
"Despicable?" Upon hearing this, veins popped on Sanemi Shinazugawa's forehead, and he looked at him with angry eyes, "What right do you guys have to call others despicable?"
Zohakuten stood in place with a gloomy expression.
"When you get injured, your wounds heal quickly; even if limbs are severed, your bodies recover in no time." Sanemi Shinazugawa tugged at his own bloody sleeve, "But we can only endure the pain and restricted movement caused by our injuries."
"We have to be desperate and careful not to get hurt just to ensure our survival."
"What right do you guys have?"
"Answer me!" Sanemi Shinazugawa tugged at his sleeve, roaring at Zohakuten with a ferocious expression.
So noisy!
Zohakuten had no intention of arguing with him at this moment; he just felt that this person was like a madman—not only did he look like a madman, he spoke like one too.
Whether your bodies can recover or not is none of his business!
Sensing the increasingly dangerous situation on the Main Body's side, Zohakuten gritted his teeth.
He couldn't wait like this.
Thump, thump!
He suddenly struck the thunder drums on his back, and the Wood Dragon smashed through the room, rolling towards Sanemi Shinazugawa.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zohakuten turned and ran towards the corridor.
Sensing his intention, Sanemi's pupils shrank slightly, and he shouted: "Don't think you can escape!"
He wanted to give chase, but the Wood Dragon summoned by Zohakuten successfully blocked him and concealed Zohakuten's figure.
"Wind Breathing, Third Form: Clear Storm Wind Tree!"
Several wind blades slashed onto the Wood Dragon, shredding it to pieces.
Having broken through the Wood Dragon's attack, Sanemi Shinazugawa hurriedly chased into the corridor, scanning left and right quickly.
Gone.
It had been less than five seconds.
Damn it! He had been stalled for too long!
He should have been able to sense Zohakuten's movements! But he had been careless!
Sanemi Shinazugawa slammed his fist against the wall.
Just as he was filled with regret.
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded from directly below.
"It's below!" Sanemi Shinazugawa leaned over the railing to look down, only to see thick smoke billowing from the corridor below, with the Wood Dragon faintly visible rolling within it.
"Damn it!" Sanemi Shinazugawa cursed under his breath, quickly vaulted over the railing, and plummeted downwards.
Hold on! Genya!
...
"Stop him for me!" The small Hantengu pointed in terror at Genya, who was constantly attacking from behind, and ordered the group of evil demons.
"Yes! Lord Hantengu!" The group of evil demons fearlessly blocked his path.
It was precisely because of these guys' obstruction that Genya hadn't been able to reach his side in a short time.
"Don't get in my way!" Genya shouted sharply, his clean, precise slashes cutting off the necks of the evil demons one by one.
His movements were not sloppy in the slightest, so clean and precise that he even ignored the demons' attacks, letting them leave wounds all over his body.
"What is wrong with this guy!" Some demons were scared into retreating by his frenzied fighting style.
This was the first time they had encountered... a Demon Slayer like this.
In the end, was this guy really a Demon Slayer?
He was just like... a demon...
Genya's current state was unimaginably good; even the Twelve Demon Moons couldn't easily block his progress.
As one evil demon after another was taken out, Genya kept closing in on Hantengu's location.
Rip!!!
The last evil demon blocking Hantengu's front had its head chopped off, revealing the Hantengus Main Body, who was crouching on the ground howling and trembling.
"Don't! Don't kill me!" The Hantengus Main Body waved his hands, begging for mercy incessantly.
"When the people you killed begged you for mercy, did you agree?" Genya raised his Nichirin Blade with a gloomy expression.
This time, he would cut him in half with one stroke.
Genya didn't doubt at all that in this state, Hantengu's neck could be hard enough that he couldn't cut it.
The Nichirin Blade in Genya's hand fell violently.
"Hee hee hee." The Hantengu, who had been panicked, suddenly changed his demeanor and laughed, "Hee hee hee."
This guy...
Genya felt a chill down his spine for no reason, and immediately after, a low voice sounded behind him.
"You who bully the weak and are wicked to the extreme, die!"
Thump!!
Boom!!!
Under the close-range impact of the powerful Wood Dragon, it actually sent Genya's head flying, smashing it into the wall beside him, leaving only his body still standing in place.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had arrived right after, saw this scene, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints, and the string connecting his brain completely snapped.
"Genya!!!"
Zohakuten didn't have time to pay attention to the Main Body; he turned around to look, and Sanemi Shinazugawa, with a face twisted to the extreme, had already arrived behind him at an unimaginable speed.
So fast!!!
Zohakuten's pupils shrank, the hair on his back stood on end, and as a cold light flashed, his head was severed before he even had time to resist.
Sanemi Shinazugawa's expression broke: "You bastard! What did you do to my brother!"
Zohakuten reacted quickly, the fear in his heart gradually dissipating.
Before his head even hit the ground, Zohakuten said in a steady voice: "He is a sinner who bullies the weak; he is someone who deserves to die."
Sanemi Shinazugawa was on the verge of losing his sanity.
"What kind of..."
"Eek!!"
The sound coming from the Hantengus Main Body behind them successfully attracted both of their attention.
What?
The human and the demon looked to the side in unison.
