Inosuke's group had surrounded Lower Rank Two, but the demon remained unfazed, keeping a watchful eye on Inosuke, Kyōjurō, the Murata brothers, Sakata, and Inoue.
Seeing that they weren't attacking, Lower Rank Two surveyed his surroundings. Fighting so many demon slayers in an open area wasn't wise. With a powerful leap, he vanished into the woods beyond the tracks.
Inosuke yelled, "You turtle bastard, don't run!"
He gave chase.
The other four looked to Kyōjurō, awaiting her command. Unlike Inosuke, a member of Squad One, they were members of Squad Two. Ryuji had explained that Squad One members were better suited for individual combat, while Squad Two relied on teamwork to compensate for individual weaknesses.
Most importantly, they were facing Lower Rank Two of the Twelve Kizuki. They knew they couldn't face a member of the Twelve Kizuki alone without Total Concentration, Constant.
Kyōjurō ordered, "Follow!"
The five members of Zan'getsu Squad Two gave chase.
Although Ryuji was intensely battling Upper Rank Three, he noticed what happened with Inosuke. The situation—enemy concealed, allies exposed—worried him. If there was an ambush, Inosuke and Squad Two would be in grave danger!
Before Ryuji could speak, Rengoku, sensing the danger, said, "Ryuji, I'll leave this to you! I'll go check it out!"
He pursued them into the woods.
Upper Rank Three sensed that Ryuji was testing him, not using his full power. Tired of the sparring, he taunted, "Brat, is that all you've got? You can't kill me like this!"
Ryuji wasn't provoked. Upper Rank Three's precise evasions hinted at something unusual, so Ryuji didn't attack blindly.
Seeing Ryuji's inaction, Upper Rank Three suspected he was aiming for a war of attrition. But he was a demon; he wouldn't tire. Ryuji must know that.
Finally, Upper Rank Three launched a fierce attack.
"Destructive Death: Disorder!"
[Destructive Death: Disorder]
This technique is a concentrated barrage of blows, each accompanied by a powerful shockwave.
Upper Rank Three assumed a stable stance and unleashed a flurry of punches at Ryuji's chest.
Ryuji countered with his Water Surface Slash.
The barrage of slashes and punches collided, creating ripples in the air. These ripples intensified into powerful energy waves that spread outwards.
Zenitsu, peeking from behind a carriage, saw the spectacle, his nerves taut. "It's truly a battle of gods! There's no way to intervene," he muttered.
