Chapter 68 The Attack of Three
In the dark manor, a blinding yellow flash suddenly pierced the deathly silence!
"Whoosh—!"
As the golden arc passed, the serpent's tail, which was as hard as refined iron, was severed in half. Before the blood could even spurt out, the serpent's head was still in a charging state.
Lower Moon Six still wore a smug grin, seemingly certain of victory. He only saw a blur before his eyes and was completely unaware of the excruciating pain in his tail.
But Mi Douzi saw it clearly; it was a yellow lightning bolt, a lightning bolt that was extremely familiar.
Tanjiro's pupils contracted sharply, and his nose twitched slightly as a familiar scent, carrying the warmth of a young boy and a faint smell of blood, entered his nostrils.
The two turned their heads at the same time and saw a boy wearing a yellow haori kneeling on one knee, gripping his Nichirin Blade tightly with both hands, the blade crackling with lightning.
Blood was gushing from his ears, trickling down his jawline and staining his clothes with dark marks. His body trembled like a withered leaf in the wind.
Lower Moon Riku finally realized something was wrong, and following Nezuko's gaze, it glanced to its side. Suddenly, its snake-like tail exploded open!
It looked down at its empty tail, where the broken ends were rapidly healing, and a storm raged in its heart.
[This brat...when did this happen?!]
"puff--!"
Zenitsu could no longer hold on and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground in front of him red.
He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving, but his eyes remained tightly closed, and two words escaped his dry, cracked lips in a barely audible breath.
"Nie beans..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zenitsu went limp and completely fainted.
Mi Douzi's pupils shrank suddenly, his heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, and then a huge rage swept over his whole body!
She turned her head sharply, her gaze fixed on Xia Xianlu, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Seeing Zenitsu unconscious, Tanjiro's anger burned even brighter.
It must be killed! Only then can everyone be protected!
Before Lower Moon Six could recover from the shock of Zenitsu's sudden attack, two extremely fierce killing intents enveloped it like a tidal wave!
"Water Breathing, Third Form: Flowing Dance!"
Mizuko took a deep breath, her body surging with moisture. Suddenly, she transformed into a nimble stream of water, her toes touching the ground as she slid towards her enemy. Her Nichirin Blade stirred up tiny waves, its blade aimed directly at Lower Moon Six's weak spot!
Only by killing it can we protect Zenitsu and Inosuke!
As Lower Moon Six watched Mizuko's figure approach like flowing water, his eyes suddenly changed, and his newly healed snake tail lashed out at Mizuko!
But at that very moment, a searing, agonizing pain suddenly exploded from my palm!
It turned around in shock and anger, only to see Tanjiro surrounded by raging flames, the fiery red flames almost engulfing his entire body.
At this moment, he slammed his feet against the wall, and using the force of the recoil, pressed his hand, which was being held down by the claws, firmly against the back of Lower Moon Six's hand!
"Your opponent is me!"
Tanjiro roared, and the raging flames on his body instantly melted his claws. He gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, and the flames reignited.
In an instant, Nezuko and Tanjiro, one in blue and one in red, attacked from both sides as they rushed towards Lower Moon Six.
When Lower Moon Six saw this, his face instantly turned ferocious, and his snake tail lashed out at Nezuko. His claws regenerated, and he began to fight Tanjiro.
The next second, the entire manor turned into a fierce battleground!
The crimson flames surged like a raging dragon, each strike carrying the power to incinerate everything, severing all of Lower Moon Six's claws.
The azure waves slithered like serpents, their swift, cunning blades flashing and relentlessly battling the serpent's tail.
In a flash, red and blue light intertwined and collided, and the shockwave made the beams and pillars tremble and bricks and tiles fly everywhere.
The roar of Lower Moon 6 and the explosions of swords and sparks shook the entire night sky!
Even so, Lower Moon Six did not reveal any weakness, which made Tanjiro and Nezuko anxious.
"Hahaha, you're all nothing special! Since that's the case..."
Lower Moon Six laughed wildly, its wolf head tilted back, about to unleash an even stronger Blood Demon Technique when a black shadow suddenly sprang up from the side!
It's Inosuke!
He somehow managed to stand up, blood streaming from his nostrils beneath the boar's head mask, his eyes bloodshot.
At that moment, he used the height of the beam to leap high into the air, raised his twin swords high, and slashed down fiercely at Xia Yue Lu's head!
In that instant, Lower Moon Lu felt a jolt in his heart and instinctively tried to swing his snake tail to block.
But its tail remained motionless, like a steel whip nailed to the ground!
It turned its head in horror and saw that Mizuko was kneeling on the ground, her hands tightly gripping the Nichirin Blade, the blade deeply embedded in the ground, firmly pinning the thick snake tail to the spot!
It tried to raise its arms to block, but as soon as it moved its arms, it was clamped down by a scorching heat wave.
Tanjiro's flaming Nichirin Blade pierced through both of its arms, pinning it in mid-air. The fiery flames surged wildly along the wounds, sizzling as they burned its flesh!
"A bunch of nuisances!"
Lower Moon Six gritted his teeth, his crimson eyes fixed on Inosuke above him.
"Hahaha! I'm going to kill you!"
Inosuke coughed up blood, his chest heaving violently, but he still gritted his teeth and poured all his strength into his twin swords, slashing fiercely at the wolf's head!
"You?!"
Xiaxianlu roared angrily, and its wolf head suddenly grew several feet taller, its blood-red maw opening wide.
It actually managed to bite down hard on Inosuke's twin swords! The blades were embedded between the fangs, unable to advance an inch further!
"What?!"
Tanjiro's pupils contracted sharply, Nezuko's hand gripping the sword trembled violently, and the three of them gasped in shock, their hearts sinking to the bottom!
At that moment, countless steel needles suddenly rose up from Xiaju Riku's back.
Nezuko, Tanjiro, and Inosuke all saw those sharp steel needles.
Lower Moon Six, biting Inosuke's Nichirin Blade, revealed a strange smile.
"Beans, wild boar, get out of the way!"
Tanjiro was the first to react and shouted quickly.
Nezuko reacted quickly, immediately drawing her Nichirin Blade in an attempt to dodge, but the snake's tail coiled around her again, forcing Nezuko to change her attack.
"Water Breathing, Sixth Form: Twisting Vortex!"
The snake's tail coiled around the azure waves, emitting bursts of firelight.
Inosuke also quickly tried to draw his twin swords, but Lower Moon Six held on tightly.
Upon witnessing this, Tanjiro unleashed his Blood Demon Art: Blazing Flame once more.
The Nichirin Blade, wreathed in flames, sliced through Lower Moon Riku's arm and slashed toward his neck.
Lower Moon Six felt the scorching heat on his neck, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly shook his head—Inosuke was flung violently towards Tanjiro like a kite with a broken string!
"asshole--!"
Inosuke cursed angrily in mid-air, but he couldn't control his body at all and could only watch helplessly as he crashed into another demon!
"Hahaha! Blood Demon Art: Steel Spikes!"
Lower Moon Six laughed wildly, then clasped his hands together in front of his chest as if gathering power.
