Swinging the huge, deformed sword, Kokushibo launched a fierce attack on the three.
Like a beast plunging down its claws, several huge slashes fell, and even the ground was directly pierced.
"Stone Breathing: Third Form: Stone Skin!"
The flail and axe flew around Gyomei Himejima, constructing a solid defense.
Kokushibo's slashes failed to break through it, and were instead shattered by it.
"Mist Breathing: Seventh Form: Obscuring Clouds!"
A large amount of mist spread around Kokushibo, surrounding him, and Muichiro Tokito's figure faintly flashed in the mist.
Other demons might not be able to capture his figure, but Kokushibo, who possessed the Transparent World, wasn't among them.
He could see all of Muichiro Tokito's movements, and the mist couldn't interfere with him at all.
But just then, he saw a red light appear in the mist. Tanjiro passed through the clouds and mist, and swung his sword at Kokushibo.
"Moon Breathing: Sixth Form: Sixth Form: Perpetual Night, Lonely Moon - Incessant!"
Several vertical slashes flew out as Kokushibo swung his sword, and actually directly cut through Tanjiro's body.
"Hinokami Kagura: Fake Rainbow!"
On the other side, Tanjiro slashed out with his body inverted.
"Hinokami Kagura: Setting Sun Transformation!"
And on the other side, Muichiro Tokito, who was approaching from below, also attacked with the Mist Breathing: Fourth Form: Shifting Flow Slash.
"Moon Breathing: Tenth Form: Piercing Tendril Slash - Dividing Moon!"
Two serrated oval slashes flew out, blocking all of their attacks, and even leaving many wounds on Tanjiro and Muichiro's bodies.
At the same time that their attacks were blocked, Gyomei Himejima approached with large strides, and threw the flail and hand axe with both hands.
"Stone Breathing: First Form: Serpentinite Bipolar!"
Gyomei Himejima was blind, but his understanding of the Transparent World was even deeper.
He could clearly sense Kokushibo's breathing and muscles, and that was why his attacks hit at the most awkward time and position for Kokushibo.
Even so, Kokushibo still lowered his body at the last moment, dodging the approaching flail and hand axe.
Gyomei Himejima pulled back the chain, and the twisted chain only entangled Kokushibo's deformed sword, but it also shattered the blade.
Tanjiro and Muichiro, who were also in the Transparent World state, how could they let go of this opportunity? The slashes of fire and mist ruthlessly struck Kokushibo's chest and back.
The Crimson Blade's damage to demons was even stronger than sunlight. The wounds that Yoriichi Tsugikuni had inflicted on Muzan four hundred years ago still hadn't disappeared to this day.
The same was true for the slash that Tanjiro had just landed on Kokushibo's shoulder. Kokushibo had only allowed it to heal on the surface, but the internal wound had been burning with pain all along.
And this time, two more Crimson Blades had slashed on his body.
Kokushibo only felt flames invading his body from the wounds, and even his internal organs seemed to be roasted on a fire.
"Ah!!!"
Letting out a roar, Kokushibo's body suddenly sprouted a large number of blades, leaving many wounds on Tanjiro and Muichiro's bodies, interrupting their combo.
"Moon Breathing: Fourteenth Form: Catastrophe, Tenman Crescent Moon!"
Layers upon layers of terrifying slashes formed a vortex, directly forcing the two to retreat.
And at this time, Gyomei Himejima had already jumped into the air, and threw his weapons at Kokushibo.
"Stone Breathing: Fifth Form: Arcs of Justice!"
The wounds caused by the Crimson Blade on his body were still aching, and Kokushibo didn't continue to fight head-on, but instead dodged.
But this dodge allowed the three to find an opening.
First, Tanjiro used the advantage of his sword form, and arrived before Kokushibo with a Yang Flower Thrust, and Muichiro also launched a large-scale attack with the Mist Breathing: Fourth Form: Shifting Flow Slash.
Gyomei Himejima landed on the ground, stepping on the middle of the chain with one foot, and at the same time, swung the flail, using the Heavenly Surface Smash, directly attacking Kokushibo's head.
"Moon Breathing: Eighth Form: Moon-Dragon Ringtail!"
Kokushibo directly swung a super-large-range slash, including all three in his attack range. The power of this move was so great that it cut all the surrounding pillars in half.
But Kokushibo underestimated the three's determination. He had originally thought that this move could force the three to retreat, giving him a chance to catch his breath, but the three actually used strong attacking sword forms at the same time, resisting his slash head-on.
The blades and flail, carrying flames and mist, directly tore apart his slash, but the price wasn't small.
A huge bloodstain appeared on the chests and abdomens of the three, and Tanjiro and Muichiro, who had thinner bodies, even had their chest bones cut through.
But the three also successfully arrived before Kokushibo, and Muichiro Tokito directly stabbed his sword into Kokushibo's body.
While the power of the Crimson Blade was constantly ravaging his body, Gyomei Himejima's flail fell, directly smashing his arm holding the sword, along with half of his chest.
Kokushibo's six eyes fluctuated violently, because he saw Tanjiro, who was holding his sword with both hands behind his head, right in front of him.
The face of a human that he had only remembered for four hundred years appeared before his eyes, and then that figure gradually overlapped with Tanjiro's.
He remembered that four hundred years ago, the old Yoriichi had swung that slash at him in the same posture.
Suddenly, Kokushibo had a feeling that he should have been killed by this slash four hundred years ago. Looking back, he hadn't accomplished anything in these four hundred years. It was simply meaningless!
Tanjiro didn't know why Kokushibo suddenly spaced out at this time, but he wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
"Hinokami Kagura: Dance!"
A red trajectory streaked across, directly cutting off Kokushibo's head.
Gyomei Himejima remembered that Drake had said that Upper Rank One could likely regenerate even after being beheaded, so he didn't stop his movements, and violently swung the flail down.
But what he didn't know was that the current Kokushibo was in the midst of questioning his life, and didn't have a will to survive that was strong enough to exceed the limit.
Gyomei Himejima stopped after completely smashing Kokushibo's body into pieces. Only then did the three dare to relax.
...
In the core area of the Infinity Castle, the pulsing of the flesh cocoon suddenly became violent. It was Muzan inside who was furious.
Kokushibo and Akaza, whom he had placed his hopes on, had actually been killed by the Demon Slayer Corps. This meant that apart from Nakime, who controlled the Infinity Castle, he no longer had any reliable help.
Although under his full power, the medicine that Tamayo had injected into his body to turn demons back into humans and several kinds of poisons had been broken down almost completely, this had also consumed a lot of his physical strength.
But there was no chance to eat and replenish his strength at this time. The people of the Demon Slayer Corps were about to fight their way to him.
Just then, he suddenly felt the surroundings begin to shake! The Infinity Castle was actually moving!
He had just thought that it was good that he still had Nakime, this important chess piece who could control the Infinity Castle, but he didn't expect that there would be a problem right away.
Muzan quickly switched to Nakime's perspective, but he saw only pitch black in front of him, and the orders he had transmitted were also not being responded to.
In another corner of the Infinity Castle, Obanai Iguro and Mitsuri Kanroji were standing in the buildings that had been destroyed into ruins, watching Yushiro, who was working hard to control Nakime.
It was the two of them who had provided cover just now, attracting Nakime's attention and allowing Yushiro to successfully sneak beside Nakime.
Yushiro inserted his hands into Nakime's temples, and the outlines of the blood vessels on his face were clearly bulging.
Muzan had already discovered the abnormality. It was really a burden for him to compete for the right of perception with this demon king, but he just gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Miss Tamayo, I will definitely accomplish what you wanted to do for you!"
Yushiro muttered in his mouth, and even the blood vessels on his face changed color.
"To dare to take Miss Tamayo away, Muzan, meet your end on the ground!"
Boom!
Everyone in the Infinity Castle felt a burst of earth-shattering tremors, and then they were all thrown up.
The Infinity Castle came to the ground at this time.
