At this time, Nezuko had stood up and was running towards Tanjiro.
"Don't come over! The sun is out!" Tanjiro immediately stopped her.
Then, the siblings collided. Tanjiro put his arm around Nezuko, while Nezuko's attention was behind Tanjiro.
"Uhhh~" Nezuko made a humming sound, seeming to want to convey something to Tanjiro.
Tanjiro also noticed Nezuko's abnormality. Seeing that Nezuko was always looking behind him, Tanjiro turned around and looked over.
As a result, he saw that the headless Hantengu was still moving, seemingly not dead, and was still chasing the surviving villagers of the Swordsmith Village.
"He's not dead yet? He was clearly beheaded!! Isn't the neck the weakness?" Tanjiro was extremely shocked in his heart.
Thinking this, Tanjiro planned to go and help the two villagers first, but just as Tanjiro took a step, Nezuko suddenly made a painful sound.
Tanjiro immediately turned around and looked at Nezuko, and found that the sunlight had already shone on Nezuko's face. In an instant, a large area of burns appeared on Nezuko's face, and these burns directly caused Nezuko's skin to be completely burned away, revealing the bones and muscle layer of her face.
This made Nezuko, who was originally beautiful, become very terrifying at once.
The situation was the same with the bones and muscle layer exposed to the sunlight. Those muscle layers and bones began to dissipate.
Nezuko immediately covered her face, and Tanjiro also immediately protected Nezuko in his arms and used his body to shield Nezuko from the sunlight.
"Nezuko! Shrink your body! That way, it won't be easy to be exposed to sunlight!" Tanjiro immediately said to Nezuko.
Just when Tanjiro's mind was all on Nezuko, the villagers who were grabbed by Hantengu cried for help, "Help! Help!"
Tanjiro immediately heard the sound and looked over. As a result, he saw that Hantengu was also being exposed to the sun at this time. In other words, even if Tanjiro didn't take action, Hantengu would be killed by the sunlight.
But before that, Hantengu would definitely have eaten the two villagers.
If Tanjiro chose to save the two villagers, then Nezuko would be exposed to the sunlight. In this case, Nezuko would most likely be killed by the sunlight.
This immediately put Tanjiro in a dilemma, making it impossible for Tanjiro to make a choice.
But Tanjiro's inaction was actually a choice. Tanjiro's inaction meant that in Tanjiro's heart, he was actually more willing to protect Nezuko.
Just when Tanjiro couldn't convince himself to leave Nezuko, Nezuko suddenly threw Tanjiro out.
At this time, Hantengu's head was gradually growing back, but the growth speed was completely unlike the speed that an Upper Moon demon should have.
"Hurry! Hurry! I want to eat people! Eat people!" Hantengu muttered very eagerly in his heart.
Tanjiro, who was in mid-air, was a little surprised. He didn't expect Nezuko to help him make a choice.
Without Tanjiro helping her shield from the sunlight, Nezuko was quickly dazed by the sunlight, and her body was also rapidly being disintegrated by the sunlight.
Tanjiro didn't know if Nezuko was already dead. If she was, then even if he ignored the two villagers and ran back to save Nezuko from the sunlight, it would definitely be useless.
