This couldn't help but startle Tanjiro, because Genya Shinazugawa's appearance at this time was indeed a bit abnormal.
Genya Shinazugawa then threw the head of the Sorrow Demon aside fiercely, seemingly a little angry.
The reason why Genya Shinazugawa was angry was because Tanjiro had taken down the Joy, Pleasure, and Anger Demons, while he had only taken down the Sorrow Demon.
Genya Shinazugawa was also a competitive child, so he didn't want to see Tanjiro being stronger than him. This was exactly the same as Inosuke.
However, Inosuke wouldn't get angry. Instead, he would become even more motivated.
All four of the Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure Demons had been beheaded, and Tanjiro finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Tanjiro didn't pay any more attention to Genya Shinazugawa's abnormality. Instead, he thought of Nezuko, who was still being crushed under the ruins. So, Tanjiro immediately ran back to Nezuko's side, cleaned up the ruins little by little, and rescued Nezuko from the ruins.
"Nezuko, I did it! With Genya's assist, all four demons' necks were cut off at the same time!" Tanjiro said excitedly to Nezuko.
However, Nezuko shook her head at Tanjiro, seemingly wanting to express something. Tanjiro didn't understand what Nezuko meant, so he asked, "What's wrong? Nezuko!"
Immediately, Nezuko pointed her hand in a direction, seemingly wanting Tanjiro to look in the direction she was pointing.
Tanjiro then turned around and looked over. As a result, he found that the Sorrow Demon was still struggling, seemingly not completely dead yet.
This couldn't help but stun Tanjiro, and he also became vigilant in his heart.
Then, Tanjiro looked at the Joy, Pleasure, and Anger Demons, who were lying in the sea of fire. Tanjiro didn't see any movement from the Joy, Pleasure, and Anger Demons.
"Could it be that these four are not in a symbiotic relationship?" Tanjiro murmured in his heart.
However, the abnormality of the Sorrow Demon had to be taken seriously. Tanjiro had suffered a loss once at Mount Natagumo. What's more, this time he was facing an Upper Moon demon. So, Tanjiro couldn't help but carefully sniff the smell in the air.
With his nose distinguishing the smell, Tanjiro didn't smell the smell of demons turning into ashes when they died. This also showed that the Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure Demons might not have been killed.
This conclusion couldn't help but shock Tanjiro. If the Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure Demons couldn't be killed even like this, then what could be done to kill them?
Tanjiro couldn't help but feel at a loss in his heart. If the enemy couldn't be killed, that was the most difficult situation to deal with.
In order to prevent the Sorrow Demon from recovering, Tanjiro couldn't help but rush forward and launch another attack on the Sorrow Demon.
Just as the Sorrow Demon's head was about to grow out, Tanjiro cut it off again with a single stroke.
In that instant, Tanjiro's nose captured a different smell. This discovery couldn't help but make Tanjiro's heart flutter.
If the previous speculations were all wrong, then the Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure Demons might not be in a symbiotic relationship. Otherwise, there was no reason for them not to die after all four of them had their necks cut off.
Adding to the fact that they didn't die even after having their necks cut off at the same time and the different smell that he suddenly smelled, Tanjiro couldn't help but have another bold guess in his heart. Most of these guesses came from the last conversation he had with Ryuji, Kyōjurō Rengoku, Tengen Uzui, and Shinobu Kocho.
In that discussion, Kyōjurō Rengoku, Tengen Uzui, and Shinobu Kocho had talked about some speculations other than symbiosis, that is, clones. If they were clones, then they had to find the main body.
