Chapter 56: Replacement!
Gyutaro, whose legs had been severed, was currently in a backward leap, feeling that his legs had not regenerated.
He became even more convinced of his guess, 'There really was something smeared on it!'
The next second, Tomioka Giyu, leaping high, brought a Wei blue Water Dragon crashing down from above!
"Tenth Form: Constant Flux!!"
But Gyutaro, after all, lived up to his name as upper rank six. He forcibly twisted his body to the side, avoiding his neck, letting Tomioka Giyu slash through his body!
And at that moment, Gyutaro's legs regenerated!
Uzui Tengen was very anxious. The moment Tomioka Giyu sliced through Gyutaro's body, he rushed forward.
But to his surprise, Gyutaro decomposed the poison so quickly!
"Oh, this poison is really potent!"
"Blood Demon Art: Rotating Circular Slash - Splatter Sickle!!"
This time, Uzui Tengen stood in front of Tomioka Giyu.
"Sound Breathing, Fourth Form: Resounding Slashes of Avici!"
Bang bang bang bang ——————
Blood blades and sword blades continuously clashed and canceled each other out.
Eventually, the Rotating Circular Slash was completely blocked by Uzui Tengen, but when the smoke cleared, Gyutaro's figure had disappeared.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in the corner of his eye, and Uzui Tengen immediately looked at his wife on the roof.
"Hinatsuru..."
"Lord Tengen, don't mind me, you should deal with the demon first..."
Clearly, Hinatsuru misunderstood Uzui Tengen's meaning.
At the same time, she didn't notice a hand reaching out from her side, firmly covering her mouth!
Gyutaro's face moved closer, and with the one eye he still had open, he stared at her coldly and said,
"You've got some nerve!"
"Don't need to mind you? Then I'll mind you!"
"Hinatsuru!!!" Uzui Tengen's pupils dilated in shock, and he made to rush forward.
But a belt, from who knows where, forcefully held him in place.
"Tomioka..."
Uzui Tengen looked back and despaired even more. Tomioka Giyu was no better off than him, perhaps even worse.
Tomioka Giyu had no way out at this moment. Those belts didn't attack Uzui Tengen first, but him!
If it had been at the beginning, these belts would have only caused him some trouble and couldn't stop him at all.
But the problem was that after several hours of fierce attacks, coupled with the invasion of poison, it was difficult for him to use ordinary slashes to break free from those belts.
And he needed to conserve his stamina, preparing for the final moment.
In a critical moment, Tanjiro acted. Because he was too anxious, water and fire came out simultaneously, forcefully rescuing Hinatsuru!
"Cough cough cough cough!" Tanjiro coughed several times. Using two breathing styles at once made his lungs burn.
Gyutaro, whose arm had been severed, regenerated quickly. Tanjiro's speed brought him some surprise.
But that was all. Gyutaro burst into a leap, flashed to Tanjiro's front at extreme speed, and brought his sickle down heavily!
Thanks to his rigorous training and tenacious character, Tanjiro barely blocked the first heavy blow of the sickle.
And that was enough!
Behind him, Uzui Tengen's blade was already heading for Gyutaro's neck, the distance not even exceeding twenty centimeters!
"Kamado Tanjiro! Thank you!!"
At the same time, Tomioka Giyu continuously swung his nichirin blade, severing pink belts one by one.
He also wanted to help Uzui Tengen and Tanjiro, but there was no way. If he didn't help Inosuke and Zenitsu now, it would be too late.
With Tanjiro gone, only the two of them faced Daki. Zenitsu had even used Godspeed once, and his legs were still bleeding.
Minutes ago, Tomioka Giyu had only glanced at them, which scared him so much that he immediately rushed over.
Zenitsu and Inosuke had several close calls, almost losing their legs or feet.
"Sorry, Mr. Tomioka! Please go back and help Tanjiro and the others!"
"Leave this side to Inosuke and me!" the sleeping Zenitsu said with determination in his voice.
— — — — — — — — — —
On the other side, although Uzui Tengen's speed was already very fast, and Tanjiro had also moved, Gyutaro still reacted.
He quickly retracted his nichirin blade to protect his neck!
After blocking Tanjiro's and Uzui Tengen's slashes from left and right respectively, Gyutaro laughed mockingly,
"You think you can cut off my neck? That's a pipe dream!"
Tanjiro pulled hard, but the corroded nichirin blade remained motionless.
At this moment, Uzui Tengen maneuvered his other nichirin blade, directly stabbing towards the back of Gyutaro's neck!
But the next scene made Uzui Tengen's veins bulge. He had already considered the possibility of Gyutaro biting the nichirin blade with his fangs.
That's why he stabbed at the back of the neck, but what he didn't expect was that Gyutaro, that guy, actually turned his head a full one hundred eighty degrees and bit the nichirin blade!
Seeing wisps of blood blades floating from Gyutaro's shoulder, Uzui Tengen immediately shifted his center of gravity and shouted,
"Kamado! Hold steady!!"
Hinatsuru quickly hugged Tanjiro's wooden box tightly from behind.
And in the next second, Uzui Tengen exerted force, forcefully taking Gyutaro, who was about to release the Rotating Circular Slash, and leaped off the roof!
"Uzui Sen..."
Before Tanjiro could finish speaking, a spiral slash came directly at him!
Bang — — — — — —
Just as Tanjiro was about to go down to help, Tomioka Giyu placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Switch!"
With that, Tomioka Giyu leaped down, heading straight for Gyutaro and Uzui Tengen, who were still clashing.
Landing steadily, Tomioka Giyu seized the opportunity to force Gyutaro back with a nichirin blade, then quickly asked,
"Tengen, how much longer until the score is complete?"
"Soon, just hold on a little longer!"
Saying this, Uzui Tengen was about to go and block Gyutaro's attack, but Tomioka Giyu got ahead of him and said,
"I'll take the lead in attacking. Don't rush, Tengen. Once the score is complete, we'll go for a direct one-hit kill!"
No sooner had he spoken than the spinning twin sickles came straight for the two of them!
"Water Breathing, First Form: Dead Water Surface Slash!"
A blue glow flashed, and the twin sickles were directly sent flying by this strike!
But in the next second, Gyutaro leaped high, caught the twin sickles, and came down with the momentum in mid-air, slashing fiercely!
Seeing this, Tomioka Giyu and Uzui Tengen reacted quickly, jumping away to dodge the attack.
With a "bang," dust immediately flew up.
Tomioka Giyu gripped the nichirin blade hilt, leaning forward, and the moment Gyutaro revealed his posture,
"Water Breathing, Fourth Form: Striking Tide!"
Immediately after, one man and one demon clashed several times, unable to determine a victor.
Bang — — bang bang bang — — —
"Hahahaha, Splatter Sickle, turn!"
Facing countless blood blades and belts, Tomioka Giyu chose a permanent solution.
"Water Breathing, Eleventh Form: Dead Calm"
— — — — — — — — — — — —
On the rooftop, Tanjiro was a bit slow to react, but the belts that arrived one after another forced him to regain his composure.
"It's very dangerous, Santaro!!"
Inosuke retreated while blocking the incoming belts.
