Chapter 57 Siege
"Inosuke!! Zenitsu!!"
As he spoke, Tanjiro quickly moved Hinatsuru to the side. He wanted to go further, but the obi was almost hitting him.
Fortunately, Zenitsu flashed in front of him and cut off the attacking obi!
At this moment, Inosuke, who had been passively taking hits, finally couldn't take it anymore and said angrily,
"We have to change the plan!! I can't get close to the Earthworm Woman at all!!"
"The three of us will continue to deal with her, and the Mantis Demon will still be left to the uncle and Giyu!"
After speaking, Inosuke rushed up again, trying to get close to Daki.
And Zenitsu, while slashing, continued Inosuke's words: "The demon here is weaker than the Scythe Man, let's cut off her head first!"
"Tanjiro, can you still move?!"
Tanjiro gritted his teeth and glanced down at Tomioka Giyu and Uzui Tengen, who were attacking in turns, and said,
"I can move!! But Senior Brother Giyu and Mr. Uzui have both been poisoned by the enemy, the situation is very dangerous!!"
"We must decide the victor as soon as possible!!"
Seeing Tanjiro's trio making plans, Hinatsuru clearly understood what she needed to do.
"Don't worry about me, I'll hide!"
"You just need to think about how to win!!"
At this time, Daki in the distance seemed very happy, perhaps because she would soon be able to eat a Hashira.
"Ah ha ha ha ha! You're getting slower and slower, who will be the first to die!!"
Inosuke became more and more anxious as he fought. He was basically unharmed, and now he was the only one left.
So, Daki's neck had to be cut by him!
He trained his life out, but in the end, was it still useless, just like during the Infinity Train incident?!
"This demon's neck is very soft, it can't be cut!!"
"It requires very fast speed, or simultaneous attacks from multiple directions!!"
Tanjiro's firm voice interrupted Inosuke's wild thoughts, bringing his mind back to the battlefield.
His eyes quickly scanned the obis, and Inosuke instantly had a plan in his mind.
"If it's a multi-directional attack, leave it to me, the dual-wielder!!"
"The three of us can win!!"
"Beast Breathing, Eighth Form: Explosive Rush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Inosuke's body assumed a diving posture and rushed straight towards Daki!
"I understand!! Zenitsu, let's protect Inosuke!"
"Okay!!"
With that, Zenitsu and Tanjiro, one on the left and one on the right, followed Inosuke and charged towards Daki!
"Water Breathing, Third Form!"
"Thunder Breathing, First Form!"
Bodies like flowing water, lightning flickering.
Tanjiro and Zenitsu cooperated extremely well, intercepting all the pink obis that attacked, bringing Inosuke to a very close distance.
"Thunderclap and Flash, Eightfold!"
"Flowing Dance!"
Inosuke himself made no defense, not caring at all even when grazed by an obi.
"This time, I'm definitely taking it down!"
Although Inosuke's dual swords were stuck in her neck, Daki immediately used her arms to resist, trying to push Inosuke's dual swords away.
But Inosuke would absolutely not let go of this hard-won opportunity.
Inosuke's arms rapidly moved back and forth.
"Ah!!!"
"Sixth Fang: Jagged Gnaw!!"
Daki's mouth hung open, her world began to turn upside down in her eyes. She looked in disbelief at the "boar head" that had cut off her head.
"Got cut? Got cut! Got cut!!"
——————
Tanjiro, behind her, was beaming with joy, "You did it, Inosuke!!"
But Inosuke didn't stop. He leaped up, hugged Daki's head, and ran into the distance.
"Head! Head! Head!! Run far away so she can't reattach it!!"
But just then, Gyutaro attacked at extreme speed, giving Inosuke no chance to react.
At this distance, even Zenitsu using Godspeed couldn't catch up.
Roar—!!
The roar of a Water Dragon, like the sound of salvation, made Tanjiro and Zenitsu stop in their tracks.
"Water Breathing, Tenth Form: Constant Flux!"
Indeed, not only did Gyutaro charge up, but Tomioka Giyu leaped into mid-air, wielding a Water Dragon, and smashed down heavily!
"Damn it, you brat!!!"
With a "bang," this strike directly smashed a large hole in the roof!
Inosuke was just about to look into the hole when Tomioka Giyu's anxious shout reached his ears.
"Inosuke, don't look back! Run! Run as far as you can!"
"Absolutely don't let Daki reattach her head..."
Before Tomioka Giyu could finish speaking, a widespread Circular Slash Reversal erupted, which meant Gyutaro was truly desperate!
He wanted to use this method to force Tomioka Giyu back, and then go after Inosuke.
Unfortunately, Uzui Tengen wouldn't give him that chance, and the other three present were even more so!
"Sound Breathing, Fifth Form: String Performance!"
"Hinokami Kagura: Burning Bones, Summer Sun!"
"Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash, Eightfold!"
"Water Breathing, Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin!"
The four attacked almost simultaneously, forcefully pushing Gyutaro, who was about to leap out of the large hole, back down!
Uzui Tengen led the charge, blocking most of the Circular Slash Reversal, followed closely by Tanjiro, who used Burning Bones, Summer Sun to cut through the remaining blood blades.
Next, Zenitsu's eightfold rush soared, sweeping off one of Gyutaro's legs with a single slash.
Finally, Tomioka Giyu finished it off, bringing down a Waterfall Basin from above, smashing Gyutaro down again!
Bang————
When the dust settled, Gyutaro's fangs were clenched tightly, and veins bulged on his face.
"Ah, ah! I'll cut you all into pieces, you scum!!"
Gyutaro gave up on the idea of chasing Inosuke; in the time he had wasted, that "boar head" had already run a good distance.
He now only wanted to chop all four people in front of him into pieces!
And his first target was Tomioka Giyu!
Tomioka Giyu was somewhat speechless about this. It was true that he had smashed Gyutaro back, but it was everyone's effort.
"Water Breathing, Fourth Form: Striking Tide!"
The wave-like slash perfectly blocked Gyutaro's first wave of dual scythe attacks.
Just as Gyutaro was about to seize Tomioka Giyu's extremely brief opening, Tanjiro gripped his sword with both hands and slashed down heavily.
"Water Breathing, Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin!"
With Tanjiro's delay, Tomioka Giyu lowered his center of gravity and delivered a sweeping slash, severing Gyutaro's legs.
Immediately after, Uzui Tengen drew his sword almost simultaneously, performing an upward slash, intending to cut Gyutaro's arm.
But he was forcefully blocked by Gyutaro's downward scythe strike!
At this moment, Tanjiro used this opportunity to sweep his sword towards Gyutaro's neck.
Unfortunately, it was still blocked by the scythe, and Uzui Tengen's sword and Tanjiro's sword began to be corroded by the "flesh" on the blood-flesh scythe.
At the same time, several blood blades floated out from Gyutaro's shoulders, indicating that his Circular Slash Reversal was about to activate again!
"You useless bunch, don't even think about cutting off my neck!!"
