Just as Ryuji was fighting fiercely with Akaza and Gyutaro, Tanjiro, carrying Makio and Suma, had already run a long distance, and had arrived at a relatively gentle area of the cliff wall.
"Great! Hurry up and go up! It will be much safer once we return to the mountain forest!" Tanjiro then said excitedly.
Just as everyone was excited, Makio's face suddenly changed, and then she immediately explained the situation to Tanjiro: "Daki is chasing after us! What do we do?!"
Tanjiro immediately put Makio down, and then turned his back and said: "You guys go quickly! I will hold her back!"
Hearing these words, Makio was also somewhat undecided, whether or not she should abandon Tanjiro and just leave like this!
If she did not leave, what could she do if she stayed?
"We will either leave together or stay together! That white-haired young man has already taken risks for us, we cannot let you do this again this time!" Suma then said at this time.
Tanjiro saw that only Daki was chasing after them, and then thought that Ryuji had only held back Akaza, and had not held back Daki.
However, Tanjiro did not think that Ryuji was anything because of this, Ryuji not holding back Daki was still a good thing in Tanjiro's view.
Because in this way, Tanjiro could share some of the pressure for Ryuji, Ryuji did not have to bear all the pressure alone, Ryuji only dealing with Akaza was relatively safer.
"Don't worry, I will be fine, she is also alone!" Tanjiro said confidently.
"There is no time, you guys go quickly! If Uzui-sensei and Zenitsu have not had any accidents, they should be in this mountain forest, you guys quickly go and join up with them, and let them come over to support us quickly! I can still hold on here!"
Tanjiro, looking at Daki who was approaching quickly, then urged anxiously.
Hearing these words, Makio then reacted, her husband must be chasing after her with the others, and so she no longer hesitated, and said:
"Then be careful, you must hold on, I will go and join up with them immediately, and then bring people to support you!"
After she finished speaking, Makio then pulled Suma and continued to run forward, Makio planned to create a safe distance from Tanjiro, and then return to the mountain forest along the cliff that was no longer so steep.
Although this cliff was no longer vertical, there was still a certain slope, and also it was raining heavily, and the cliff wall was slippery, so it was impossible to climb up the mountainside all at once.
And also Daki was about to catch up, if they climbed the cliff now, they would probably be knocked down by Daki before they had climbed a few meters.
So, even with Tanjiro holding her back, now was not a good time to go up the cliff wall.
And Tanjiro, seeing that Makio and Suma had run away, felt relieved in his heart, and at the same time pulled out the Nichirin Blade on his waist, and prepared for battle.
The Upper Rank demon of the Twelve Kizuki, this was an existence that Tanjiro had never come into contact with before, although he was now very different from before, and had become stronger than before, but similarly, his opponent had also become stronger.
Would he be like the first time he encountered Lower Rank Five, and have no power to fight at all?
Daki, who was chasing after him, saw that Tanjiro was no longer running away, and then felt very happy in her heart, even if Makio and Suma ran away, Daki did not care at all, and did not intend to chase after Makio and Suma.
Because, Tanjiro was the person that Muzan Kibutsuji wanted to kill the most, and also the target that had to be killed in this mission, as for the others, if they ran away, then they ran away, it was not important!
