The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat quiet, Ryuji looked at Akaza, and then ridiculed him:
"What's wrong? Are you afraid? As an Upper Rank of the Twelve Kizuki, I didn't expect you to be a coward!"
Hearing Ryuji's words, Akaza's expression was very ugly, he wanted to refute but could not find any reason, because his current behavior was a manifestation of cowardice.
"My mission is only to hold you back! I don't have the leisure to fight you! You also don't get too carried away, we are at most evenly matched, if you are so awesome, come and kill me now!"
Akaza, after thinking, then suppressed the resentment in his heart, and responded.
To tell you the truth, you think we are targeting you, but you are not the main target of our operation this time. Although that Tanjiro brat ran away!
But he has also been completely isolated! Because the other group of people you arranged to chase behind have been blocked by Kokushibo in the red-light district, it is impossible for them to join up with you!
Because they will be mercilessly killed by Kokushibo!
"As for you, you can only collect their corpses!"
"No Perhaps Kokushibo will not leave you with any corpses! Hahahaha"
As Akaza said this, he laughed even more ruthlessly, that smile was more to give himself comfort.
Because Akaza knew that he could not cause any impact on Ryuji from a physical aspect, Akaza then planned to start from the mental aspect.
The demon hunters of the Demon Slayer Corps were all a group of emotional guys in Akaza's eyes, if Ryuji knew that everyone except him would be killed, then the feeling in his heart would definitely not be good.
"I forgot that there is also that Tanjiro, that brat will definitely be killed by Daki who is chasing after him. And you, no matter how powerful you are, what can you do in the end!"
Akaza then continued to add.
Listening to Akaza's narration, Ryuji was indeed affected, what Ryuji did not expect was that Kokushibo, the head of the Upper Ranks, had actually ambushed in the red-light district, for the sake of intercepting Uzui Tengen and them.
In this way, the one who was really in danger was not himself, but rather the others, it was really a good calculation!
However, this also confirmed that Muzan Kibutsuji was really very wary of him, otherwise he would definitely not have designed it like this.
But, Ryuji still suppressed the anger that rose in his heart, because even if Kokushibo intercepted Uzui Tengen and them, even if they were not a match for Kokushibo together.
Uzui Tengen should still have the ability to restrain Kokushibo, and then buy Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke, and Hattori Kujyo time to retreat.
Although doing so was very likely to cause Uzui Tengen to die in Kokushibo's hands, it was better than everyone dying.
Ryuji believed that at the critical moment, Uzui Tengen would definitely choose to do this. And Ryuji did not have too deep of an intersection with Uzui Tengen, so he would not be too sad because of his death.
It was not that Ryuji was ruthless, but rather if things really got to that point, then there was no way to avoid it.
Tanjiro, Ryuji was not too worried about either, because Tanjiro was still carrying Nezuko, even if Nezuko could not beat Daki, she could still restrain Daki to some extent.
So the situation was not very bad.
In addition, as long as Makio and Suma successfully escaped from danger, Ryuji's rescue mission would be completed, and Ryuji, who had obtained the reward, would definitely have his normal strength improved, and it would not be impossible to control the battle situation at that time.
