Chapter 458 451. Siege

"boom--"

Finally, Zenitsu's figure flashed behind the timid ghost.

The sound of the knife was followed by a thunderous noise.

Zenitsu's long sword was finally unsheathed, and the fierce friction caused sparks to flash on the sword that already had golden thunder patterns, as if there were really countless thunders lingering around.

"Qiang——"

The blade finally came close to the timid ghost's neck, but the roaring sound it made shocked Zenitsu.

"!!?"

What's happening here! ? Zenitsu felt that he was completely confused.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

A sharp scream broke out from the cowardly ghost's mouth, but in fact he only screamed because he was frightened.

And his neck didn't even look like it was about to be cut off! The neck of the ghost in front of him was surprisingly hard, and his Nichirin sword seemed to have struck hard steel.

"Whoosh——"

There was a sound of breaking through the air. After all, the Nichirin Sword failed to cut off the neck at the moment of contact. The cowardly ghost's tiny figure flew out due to the power of the slash.

"Damn it!" The sharp voice gave Zenitsu, who had extremely sensitive hearing, a splitting headache and was unable to continue the pursuit.

He gritted his teeth and tried to use force again, but the ghost figure had already followed the impact and flew far away.

The sharp and piercing screams also reached the ears of Tanjiro, Inosuke and Muichiro who were nearby, and they immediately reacted and rushed towards the source of the sound.

The cowardly ghost who was knocked away climbed up in panic after landing.

He was in a hurry and didn't know where to escape. This was Flower Street, and there should have been many places to hide. However, some reckless man crashed all the surrounding houses into ruins during the battle. The fire continued to burn everywhere. They are all burnt charcoal that will dissipate like smoke when touched.

The lawn just now was the hiding place he found with great difficulty. He didn't expect that he would be found by this group of hateful humans despite being so well hidden.

What made him despair the most was that besides the yellow-haired boy who failed to cut off his neck just now, there were also humans coming from other directions!

The smell of human flesh and blood might make him feel thirsty in normal times, but at this moment, he had no intention of enjoying the 'delicious food' because he knew that he would be doomed if he was surrounded now.

The cowardly ghost is the only weakness of the half-tengu after it completes its split. It is also its true body and the ghost with the weakest combat power.

He is as big as a mouse, with the word "coward" engraved on his tongue. He is timid and always avoids fighting. It should be said that his "job" is to avoid fighting, because fighting is handled by other clones. His mission is just to find ways to survive.

Although its combat power is not strong, its defensive power is amazing. Because he has shrunk his body so small, his flesh is extremely dense, which means that his flesh will become very hard, and a slash with insufficient power cannot easily cut off his neck.

As for how much power it would take to cut off his neck with one blow, it would probably have to be done by Zenitsu who uses the "Thunderbolt Flash: Divine Speed" or Tanjiro who possesses the Breath of the Sun.

Inosuke's words...according to his violent attack style, he can cut off with a few more cuts.

There is also the reborn Muichiro Tokitoru. If this ghost bumps into Muichiro, there is no chance of survival, but Muichiro does not have the ability to search for enemies like the other three.

All in all, the cowardly ghost knows that his current situation is extremely dangerous, because no matter which one of these people he meets, he will be in danger if he is dragged down.

"It's over!"

Dodging the pursuit of the yellow-haired boy behind him, and feeling the auras of the other three humans approaching continuously, the timid ghost scratched his head crazily, "Quick! Quick! Why haven't you come yet!?"

He was calling other clones, to be precise, he was calling for the fully integrated 'Hangbotian'. The only one who can save him now is probably Hbotian, and he is not very sure that Hbotian's strength can cope with this place. All humans, or can only escape! ?

"What on earth is going on! That master's plan should be perfect. Why did it become like this!?"

What they came here this time were three winding ghosts! What is this concept? The number of demons that attacked the Demon Slayer Headquarters five hundred years ago did not exceed this number, and that time it was a heavy blow to the Demon Slayer Corps.

This time, in order to avoid any accidents, Muzan ordered the three demons to lurk here at the same time, in order to ensure that all the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps who were attracted here were wiped out.

But now? There has been no news from Shangxian Liu and Shangxian Wu. It seems...he is the only one left! ?

"found it!"

Just when the cowardly ghost was at a loss, Tanjiro, who was outflanking him, finally spotted him.

"What a little one!"

Tanjiro looked at the timid ghost that was only the size of a mouse in surprise.

Although he had never killed such a short target, he did not hesitate in his movements and immediately adjusted the trajectory of his sword swing.

Breath of the Sun·Four Types·Bone-Searing Sun Flame.

Seeing the flaming blade approaching rapidly, the Cowardly Ghost turned around in horror and tried to escape to the side.

He clearly saw the appearance of the young man who was approaching quickly. He had markings on his forehead and earrings hanging from his ears. This was exactly the target that the adult asked them to focus on, but how could he take care of this now?

If you don't leave, your life will be lost!

"It turns out to be here! Make it easy for me to find you, you bastard!"

But before he turned around and walked a few steps, he found that his side retreat was also blocked. A human wearing a wild boar hood charged over menacingly, brandishing two swords. He didn't look any easier to deal with than the kid with the stripes on his forehead. .

"Damn it! You guys! Damn it! Come on!!!!!!!!!!"

The cowardly ghost clenched his teeth and shouted crazily.

He has no way to retreat now. Zenitsu, Inosuke and Tanjiro alone have completely blocked his escape route. In addition, there is Muichiro who is coming after listening to the noise. This is almost certain to die. Desperate situation.

But the cowardly ghost didn't want to give up. Although he was timid, he had a strong desire to live. It should be precisely because of his timidity that he had such a strong desire to live. As long as there was still a chance to survive, he would do whatever it took!

"It's that shrill sound again!"

Zenitsu's ears were bleeding red blood, and the strong tinnitus made him confused about the direction and he could only stop walking temporarily.

Tanjiro, who was standing close, felt even more uncomfortable. The harsh sound also gave him a splitting headache. However, unlike Zenitsu, Tanjiro had experienced much more 'pain'. After all, he had been trained by Xuanhao for several years. His tolerance for pain is already beyond ordinary people.

The Nichirin Sword in his hand did not stop at all, and landed accurately on the neck of the cowardly ghost.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

More piercing screams of pain were heard, and the cowardly ghost roared like crazy. This was a signal for help.

The blade slowly embedded itself into the flesh and blood. The Cowardly Ghost's hard neck seemed unable to block Tanjiro's blade, but the cutting speed was very slow and laborious.

Although the Breath of the Sun restrained the evil spirit, Tanjiro had not yet used its full power.

While Tsukuni Enichi created the Breath of the Sun, he also mastered another technique, which was the 'Hakato' that made the Nichirin Sword turn red! It was a burning knife that could not heal the wound immediately even if Kibutsuji Muzan was struck by it.

Obviously, Tanjiro has not mastered this technique at this moment, so this blow is still slightly lacking in firepower. Although he can cut off the neck of this ghost with only brute force, it proceeds very slowly.

And every moment on the battlefield of the desperate fight with ghosts will undergo huge changes!

The oppressive feeling that made Tanjiro's hair stand on end suddenly came upon him, causing his tense body to tremble.

"What's going on? There seems to be something behind me!?"

Tanjiro's body became stiff, and he even hesitated to swing the sword.

He smelled a stench that made him shiver to the depths of his throat. It was a smell completely different from the previous ghosts of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.

What to do now! ? Tanjiro suddenly hesitated.

Although it is important to cut off the neck of the ghost in front of him, the current situation does not seem to be worth his life, because their human side has an absolute advantage at the moment!

More importantly... he had already promised the teacher that he would survive no matter what, because only in this way could he protect his sister Nezuko!

"Tanjiro!"

"Kojiro!"

"Move!"

A hoarse roar burst out of Tanjiro's throat, and at the same time, he also heard the anxious shouts of the other two companions around him.

In this moment, time seemed to slow down.

Tanjiro's body turned around desperately, and he almost used all his strength to finally be able to face the opponent directly before the foul-smelling figure approached, but the remaining time was still not enough for him to take effective defense.

"boom--"

Zenitsu suddenly raised his head, his eyes that were originally closed were staring angrily at everything in front of him, his eyes were filled with pale lightning, and his whole face became somewhat ferocious.

In an instant, there was a roar where he was, and in the next instant, his figure had disappeared from where he was, leaving only the crushed ground and diffuse smoke.

Breath of Thunder·One Type·Thunderbolt Flash·Super Speed.

When his companions were in life-threatening danger, Zenitsu no longer had the thought to consider the consequences of using this move.

He only knows one thing now, if he is not fast enough, Tanjiro will die, so he does it!

"Asshole, stop it!"

Inosuke on the other side also roared angrily.

"Click--"

Two crisp bones cracked, and Inosuke threw his hands back and threw them out. The two arms were dislocated in an instant. Then, he used all his strength to swing his arms forward, holding the hands of the two swords tightly. Because of the violent pulling and tearing, blood exploded.

With his arm dislocated and bearing the inertial impact force, he must have endured severe pain to hold the handle of the knife. However, before the blade was thrown in the direction he wanted, his palm was still holding the knife tightly. handle.

Breath of the Beast·Immediately thought of·Explosive Throwing Spin!

"Tsk——"

Hate Potian smacked his lips in displeasure.

Of course he noticed the actions of these teenagers.

Originally, he planned to rush over and kill one of them first and rescue the cowardly ghost at the same time.

But the sudden changes made him a little overwhelmed.

Zenitsu's blade was already in front of him, with the target firmly locked on his neck, and Inosuke's two whirling blades had blocked his retreat. If he continued to attack Tanjiro, he might have to pay some price.

Such a price might be acceptable in normal times, but at this moment he couldn't take this risk.

Because Shangxian Liu and Shangxian Wu have almost certainly been killed.

His current goal is to escape from the siege of these humans with the cowardly ghosts, and he will face not only the three teenagers in front of him, but also Kanroji Mitsuri who is chasing him. Muichiro Tokitoru may even There are Yusui Tianyuan and Xuanhao who ended the battle.

Even in its heyday, Hate Potian has no confidence in evacuating from the siege of so many humans. The top priority now is to ensure the safety of the main body.

So, Hate Potian chose to defend.

"bass--"

A harsh shouting sound rang out as Shan Yi's sharp blade was blocked by the drum hammer in Hate Potian's hand.

The powerful forces collided, causing a violent roar. Zenitsu gritted his teeth and pressed all his strength on the Nichirin Sword, trying to force the ghost in front of him back.

But even if he tried his best, Hate Potian was still better in the end.

"Click——"

There was a crisp cracking sound, and Zenitsu's blade was shattered in an instant.

His sword might not really lose to the ghost in front of him, but his blade has reached its limit.

"Get away!"

A hateful voice burst out from Hatantian's mouth, and his arm exerted force again, shattering the drum hammer of the Nichirin Sword and hitting Zenitsu's abdomen hard.

"puff--"

Shanyi spurted a mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew backwards instantly.

"Zenitsu!"

Tanjiro looked at this scene with anger in his eyes.

Zenitsu's slashing attack bought him precious time, making him seem to have a chance to make a slash.

But there is no skill in this sword, it is just an ordinary slash, which may not mean much.

"snort--"

After getting rid of the fastest kid in front of him, Hatantian snorted coldly, not paying attention to Tanjiro in front of him at all. He didn't even look at the two whirling blades that were approaching rapidly behind him.

He waved the drum hammers in both hands again, and instantly struck the Thunder God's drum behind him.

The next moment the ground began to tremble, and a thick wooden dragon broke out of the ground instantly.

It twisted its body and twisted around the Hatebotian. Its ferocious and hard dragon body effortlessly deflected the sharp blade thrown by Inosuke.

Then, it opened its mouth, lowered its head, and bit into Tanjiro in front of it.

"Get out of the way! Tanjiro!"

Inosuke was so anxious that he even called out Tanjiro's name correctly.

Of course, Tanjiro knew not to be hit by such an attack. He also knew that his hasty slashing had no chance of causing any harm to the ghost in front of him, so he decisively gave up swinging the sword and jumped backwards.
