Faced with Gyokko's departure, Muichiro Tokito was helpless and had no ability to stop him.
Because at this time, Muichiro Tokito was having a hard time protecting himself. No matter how worried he was about Kanamori and Kotetsu, it would be in vain.
So, Muichiro Tokito didn't think too much about these things. The most important thing he needed to think about now was how to escape.
"The remaining air in my lungs can only barely be used for one attack!" Muichiro Tokito murmured in his heart, and thought about which move would be most likely to break through this water prison that was wrapping around him.
"Mist Breathing, First Form: Low Clouds, Distant Haze!"
[Mist Breathing, First Form: Low Clouds, Distant Haze] was the most basic thrust attack of Mist Breathing.
Because swinging the sword horizontally in the water would encounter great resistance, which would weaken the power of the attack. So, Muichiro Tokito chose to use a thrust, concentrating the power on one point, piercing through this water prison, and then cutting the water prison horizontally.
However, the expected situation was completely opposite to the reality. Muichiro Tokito's thrust didn't pierce through the water prison that was wrapping around him. Instead, the water had great toughness and plasticity, changing its shape along with Muichiro Tokito's thrust.
Even though the pot-shaped water prison had undergone a huge deformation due to Muichiro Tokito's powerful thrust, it just couldn't be pierced. It seemed that on the surface of the water prison, there was a layer of very tough film that wrapped the water in it.
"Even a thrust attack can't break through this water wall. If the blade wasn't damaged, it wouldn't be like this!" Muichiro Tokito couldn't help but murmur. It seemed that at that moment, he had already accepted his fate of death.
After launching the attack, the oxygen in Muichiro Tokito's lungs was even more scarce, which made his consciousness gradually blur.
During the period of blurred consciousness, Muichiro Tokito saw the figure of Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the head of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"It's good to be able to see the head before I die!" Muichiro Tokito couldn't help but murmur.
Then, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's figure slowly turned into Tanjiro's appearance.
"Your destiny is in your own hands. The outcome of things all depends on your choice. Don't give up easily!" Tanjiro's voice rang in Muichiro Tokito's mind, as if these words were what Tanjiro was saying to him at this moment.
Although Muichiro Tokito heard Tanjiro's voice, Muichiro Tokito was very clear and certain in his heart that Tanjiro had never said such things to him. The person who said these words should have been someone very important in his life.
The reason why Muichiro Tokito usually looked indifferent was because Muichiro Tokito was a person who had lost his memory. For a person who had lost his memory, his life was so out of sync with the world when he hadn't regained his memory.
On the other side, Kanamori took Kotetsu back to the wooden house. In the wooden house, Haganezuka was concentrating on polishing the rusty Sengoku Nichirin Blade, seemingly completely unaware of the danger that was coming. Even the arrival of Kanamori and Kotetsu couldn't make him leave that focused state.
Kanamori came to Haganezuka's side and shouted loudly at Haganezuka, "Hotaru! Demons have invaded the village. Stop polishing! Run away with me!"
