Because Akaza had already launched Annihilation Style and rushed in, Ryuji had already learned this trick from Akaza during the Infinity Train, it was a trick with very terrifying explosive power.
Ryuji had used [Wood Breathing, First Form, Wood Infestation - Pierce] to collide with it at that time, although Wood Infestation had successfully destroyed Akaza's arm, Ryuji's arm had also been broken by Akaza.
It could be said that that was the first time Ryuji had been injured in his demon hunting career, so Ryuji's impression was very deep, after feeling the familiar aura that Akaza was emitting, he knew that Akaza had used Annihilation Style.
And in the techniques of Water Breathing, there was no high-explosive technique that could compete with it, if he used Wood Infestation - Pierce to fight it at this time, it was estimated that the result would be the same as last time, and Ryuji knew that he could not be injured now, because this was not a one-on-one situation, there was also Daki, Ryuji had to hold her back as well.
If he was injured, he would definitely not be able to hold back two Upper Rank demons.
If Ryuji dodged Akaza's attack, then Akaza would definitely take the opportunity to go towards Tanjiro, leaving Tanjiro behind. Ryuji had also thought of this point, so Ryuji could not dodge, he could only block Akaza's attack.
As such, [Flame Breathing, Ninth Form, Purgatory Meteor] had become the technique that Ryuji could take out to fight against Akaza.
After all, it would be a waste if he did not use the breathing techniques that he had mastered.
And Tanjiro, after bidding farewell to Ryuji, then turned around and ran away without any hesitation.
Tanjiro believed that this was the most stable and feasible decision, and also Tanjiro's reassuring performance of Ryuji's strength, even if Ryuji could not kill Upper Rank demons, he would definitely have the ability to cope and restrain them.
So Tanjiro planned to transfer Makio and Suma to a safe place first, and then come back to face the enemy with Ryuji.
The moment Ryuji activated [Flame Breathing, Ninth Form, Purgatory Meteor], his whole body was covered in flames, the heavy rain fell on those flames, and was instantly evaporated into water vapor by the high temperature.
In the next moment, Ryuji's figure rushed towards Akaza like a meteor, in the surroundings where Ryuji flashed past, it instantly became dry and hot, and the rain seemed to have stopped at that moment, those raindrops that had not yet fallen were instantly evaporated, and even the accumulated water in the surrounding grass was also evaporated.
And wherever Ryuji went, the tender grass under his feet was directly and ruthlessly carbonized into black dust.
Outside Ryuji's trajectory, those tender grasses, although they were not burned in an instant, were ignited by the high temperature, and burned.
Then, Ryuji, whose whole body was on fire, then collided with Akaza, Ryuji's hilt of the sword collided with Akaza's fist that was swinging over.
Ryuji and Akaza's figures also fixed in place along with it, a powerful shock wave spread out from the center of the collision between Ryuji and Akaza, and instantly destroyed the falling raindrops within a radius of thirty meters, the cliff walls on both sides of the mountain were cracked by the shock wave.
That area seemed to have cleared up, but in contrast to other places, raindrops were still falling non-stop.
After the shock wave's vibration ended, the surrounding airflow suddenly became turbulent, and a strong hurricane surged.
The flames around Ryuji's body were all dancing with the hurricane, and Daki, who wanted to take the opportunity to chase after Tanjiro, was forced back by the powerful shock wave just now, causing her to lose the opportunity to chase after Tanjiro at the first opportunity.
