The room began to spin rapidly in a 360-degree rotation. Even an astronaut would get nauseous and throw up, let alone the invisible sharp claws attacking while the room spun.
Those deeply incised claws, if you were hit once, your body would be cut into three pieces. The terrifying thing was that this was the Blood Demon Art of the Drum Demon, Kyogai; it was formless and shadowless, completely invisible to the naked eye. You could only avoid it by relying on intuition.
[No, that pig head can also sense it.]
Tanjiro glanced at the pig-headed man; he seemed to possess the intuition of a wild beast, always narrowly avoiding Kyogai's attacks at critical moments.
"Oh no!" Tanjiro suddenly panicked because Kyogai attacked a little girl.
The two siblings they had met outside the house had come here to find their older brother, who had rare blood and had been captured. Tanjiro had told them to wait outside, but the sound of Nezuko in her box scared them, so they followed him inside.
Now, the little girl's sudden appearance at the doorway disrupted Tanjiro's rhythm. For her safety, Tanjiro had no choice but to leap over and embrace her, which, in turn, increased the burden on his Breathing Technique.
"Die, you insect—"
Kyogai didn't miss this opportunity either, directly spinning Tanjiro 360 degrees in every direction, making him dizzy. Then, a few Blood Demon Arts were meant to make him regret his life on the spot.
As for the pig-headed man next to him, his Breathing Technique wasn't as flexible as Water Breathing, which could adapt to different environments. He could only defend himself, let alone counterattack. Kyogai planned to kill the pig-headed man after dealing with this boy.
"Water Release: Water Wall—"
At the critical moment, a voice appeared, and a Water Release Ninjutsu materialized out of thin air in the room, blocking a fatal blow for Tanjiro.
Although the opponent's Blood Demon Art still broke through the Ninjutsu, the obstruction of the Water Wall was enough. Tanjiro used a Water Breathing.
"Sixth Form: Twisting Whirlpool Flow."
He directly guided the opponent's invisible claws into his Twisting Whirlpool, then released it with a spin to another location. This was the impressive versatility of Water Breathing.
After the attack, Kyogai's attention was no longer on Tanjiro but shifted to the person who had just entered.
"Rare blood, ah~ the finest of rare blood! Hahaha, fate is on my side, I deserve to advance to the Twelve Kizuki. Let me eat you."
Kyogai looked at Uchiha Nagi with an expression of wild ecstasy, having long forgotten the previous unpleasantness.
Uchiha Nagi tossed down two heads that were still cursing him. These were two experimental subjects he had encountered in the house; their bodies had stopped moving after he killed them several times, leaving only their heads.
He finally discovered that after too many cuts, the heads would no longer grow. It seemed to be related to the energy within them. The energy stored in these demons' heads was less than in their bodies, so once separated from the body, killing them multiple times was effective.
Then, only one head remained, constantly trying to escape, occasionally growing two tentacles or legs and running off. So, Uchiha Nagi carried them along, occasionally cutting off some flesh, creating an incredibly gruesome scene.
"Tanjiro, just protect the child. Leave this drum man to me." Uchiha Nagi observed that this guy's abilities didn't seem to be very impressive.
Thump thump!
Thump thump thump thump thump!
Kyogai excitedly began to beat the small drums on his body, intending to kill his opponent the moment he lost his balance from the spinning.
However, after spinning several times, he found that his opponent stood as steadily as he did, unmoving on the ground, seemingly completely unaffected by gravity. He was instantly dumbfounded.
"You... why can you ignore my Blood Demon Art?"
Uchiha Nagi looked at him. "If that's all you've got, then you'll die here today." Kyogai roared in anger, "Just you? That short blade that isn't even a nichirin blade?"
Thump thump!
Kyogai struck his drums again, but this time it was his invisible claw Blood Demon Art.
Facing such incredibly sharp, invisible blades, Uchiha Nagi frowned and could only jump to dodge.
And his opponent was waiting for this moment, rapidly striking the drums to change the spinning direction. Uchiha Nagi, unable to dodge in mid-air due to gravity, couldn't push off with his feet before landing. Kyogai directly unleashed his invisible claws, intending to kill Uchiha Nagi.
"Hmph, you underestimate me too much." Uchiha Nagi's lips curved upward. Not to mention the Ninja's Three-Body Technique, which could use a substitution jutsu to dodge, he also had his strongest defense, Susanoo, as a backup. What was there to fear about being in mid-air?
Uchiha Nagi whispered, "Sixth Form: Twisting Whirlpool Flow—"
He used his short blade to unleash Water Breathing. Water is both soft and hard, it does not contend with all things, yet it is indestructible, acting without action yet accomplishing everything.
Uchiha Nagi used the Sixth Form to directly guide the opponent's claw Blood Demon Art into a whirlpool, then accelerated and rushed forward, shouting in a low voice~
"Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow..."
[Splashing Water Flow] minimizes landing time and area during movement, making it a footwork that allows for agile movement across various terrains. It is suitable for combat in places with poor footing.
Watching Uchiha Nagi fly towards him rapidly, Kyogai, somewhat flustered, beat his drums. However, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan had already seen through all his actions.
After a flash of white blade light, Kyogai's head fell to the ground.
Uchiha Nagi stood firm, sheathing his blade. "Hahahaha, human, you're really good, able to cut off my head. It's a pity your blade isn't a nichirin blade, otherwise, you would have succeeded."
Watching the drum man pick up his head, intending to reattach it, Uchiha Nagi turned and shouted towards the pig-headed man in the corner.
"Hey, Xiao Zhuzhu, lend me one of your blades."
"Xiao Zhuzhu?" The pig-headed man turned and looked around, then pointed at himself. "Are you talking to me, you bastard? I won't lend it. I'll cut off his head myself."
"Pig Assault—" The pig-headed man quickly ran over before the opponent could use his room-spinning Blood Demon Art.
"Beast Breathing, First Fang: Piercing Strike."
After a flash of white light, the drum man's head, which he had just placed on his neck, fell to the ground again. It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge, but this beast-like man was simply too fast.
"Hahahaha, Pig Assault, Pig Assault! Did you see that? I killed him!"
The pig-headed man looked at Uchiha Nagi, his excited eyes glowing with fire. "Hey, it's your turn now. Let's have a duel."
After saying that, he picked up his blade and rushed to slash at Uchiha Nagi.
Clang—
With a clash of metal and a shower of sparks, Tanjiro blocked him, glaring. "Bastard, aren't you a Demon Slayer Corps member? How can you fight your own people? There are still many demons in the house."
Uchiha Nagi looked at the pig-headed man, curious how such a brainless creature had lived so long... [PS, please support this book, vote for it, and add it to your bookshelf, boo hoo... the author thanks you on his knees]
