My avatar is the heroine

Her intuition was able to pinpoint the target at this moment.

Chapter 127 Tired

The scenery on both sides rushed past, and Yukino didn't yet possess the ability to leap quickly and maintain her balance on the trees. She vividly remembered when she tried to use Yukino, she embarrassingly crashed into a tree.

Hashibira Inosuke and Tanjiro both followed, but Tanjiro didn't forget to mention his three Demon Slayer Corps teammates.

As the distance closes, the threads controlling the person become denser, each one so hard it can easily shred a creature's body.

boom--

A punch, as sharp as steel, came suddenly, but a powerful, headless giant blocked it. Black Eyes easily dodged the attack and lightly jumped to the side.

A hundred meters away from the headless giant, a pale-skinned female ghost in white, with strange bloodstains on her face, trembled as she manipulated the threads, whispering nervously, "Damn it, damn it, these are my strongest puppets! I must kill you all, I must kill them! Otherwise, I'll be exhausted... Ugh, die!"

Kurome was blocked, and Inosuke and Tanjiro followed.

"What is this? What a huge monster!" Pighead spat out a mouthful of mist. "Very well, let me deal with it."

Just as he was about to make a move, a large number of silk threads suddenly and silently took control of his body.

The silk threads easily cut his skin, binding him in place.

"What?" Tanjiro sensed something was wrong and slashed the threads with his sword.

And in an instant, Kurohime unleashed his sword-drawing slash.

hum-

What appears to be an ordinary strike is actually wielded at an unimaginable speed, unleashing dozens of cuts in the blink of an eye.

The reason for doing this is that the Eighth Chamber's ability to suppress demons is too weak; even if the target is cut in half, it can only suppress the opponent's recovery.

The headless monster shattered into dozens of pieces, and bright red blood gushed out.

Black Eyes flashed behind the target, skillfully sheathed the blade, muttered "Resolved," and continued charging towards the target.

The enemy is within arm's reach.

"So fast."

Wild Boar seemed to have been deeply hurt, after all, he was too proud and refused to admit that he couldn't win any battle.

But now, a petite and exquisite girl has demonstrated an ultimate killing move that he could never possibly achieve at this moment, which is really hard for him to accept.

Black Eyes had already rushed to the enemy controlling the threads.

The female ghost's expression was one of utter terror, but as death approached, she suddenly opened her arms, revealing a look of anticipation for death.

"If I die here, I should be free, right?" he murmured, a sound that didn't seem like something a ghost would utter.

This expression reminded Kurohime of the scene in the original work: when Tanjiro killed the female demon in front of him, he temporarily changed his skill to the gentle fifth form, allowing this demon, who had suffered abuse from her "family," to feel the warmth of rain and sunshine before she died.

"I don't know how to use Water Breathing."

As Hachifusa's terrifying aura drew near, just before Kurome was about to unleash her slash, she suddenly veered to the side and shouted to Tanjiro behind her, "Water Breathing, Fifth Form!"

"what?"

Tanjiro didn't understand why Kurome suddenly stopped before getting close to her target, but recalling the characteristics of the Fifth Form, he vaguely understood.

"let me."

"The fifth form is the merciful rain that dries up the sky."

The gentle water flowed over the target's neck, and the ghost "mother" revealed a look of enjoyment, as if she were feeling the nourishment of heavenly rain.

Even though his neck had been cut off, he felt no pain.

"Of all the ghosts on Spider Mountain, this is probably the only one I'm willing to treat gently."

Upon seeing this, Kuroto curled the corners of his mouth into a strange smile.

She sheathed her sword, closed her eyes, and leaned gently against the trees behind her, silently watching the ghost that had vanished into thin air.

The fifth lower demon of Spider Mountain, named Rui, desperately craved family due to a lack of love since childhood. So he rescued ordinary demons who were being hunted under various pretexts, forcibly tore off their skin, and transformed them into individuals with similar appearances to himself, playing a game of pretend.

The woman in front of me is the mother in our pretend play game.

However, although it's called playing house, Lei, who has a strong desire for control and a twisted mind, always uses various beatings and tortures to force his family members to do things according to his demands, and always thinks that these family members are not competent enough.

If there's anything about other ghosts that deserves sympathy, then Lei... is simply a monster deserving of a thousand cuts.

After killing the woman who had been tormented by exhaustion, Tanjiro began to scrutinize Kurome, who stood silently to the side.

The other person looked very casual, revealing a smile that, while wicked, was surprisingly comforting.

Of course... the real reason Kurome was happy was that she had secretly learned Tanjiro's moves just now.

Even if you don't know how to breathe water, you can still do it by imitating.

"You... continue searching for other demons to fight. I'm going to find Lower Moon Five."

After resting for a few seconds, Kuroko said something to the two of them again, and then, without waiting for their reply, headed off in a direction with particularly strong spiritual pressure.

“Wait… Lower Moon Five?” Tanjiro’s heart skipped a beat, and he followed as well. “I also have a duty to kill powerful demons.”

"Damn it, wait for me!" Inosuke Hashibira roared, chasing after him with comical steps.

"There's another one on the other side of the river who's just as strong as Lower Moon Five. Little Pig Brothers, you're so powerful, why don't you go and take care of him yourselves?"

Kurohime slowed down, turned around, and smiled at Inosuke.

"Little Pig Brothers?"

Pighead paused for a moment, and upon hearing the address and noticing the praise in the words, he couldn't help but feel a little flattered.

"You said there's a demon over there comparable to a Lower Moon demon? Hahaha, leave that guy to me. I can kill a Lower Moon demon too."

whoosh-

Without much hesitation, the pig turned and charged in another direction.

……

"So easy to fool." Black Eyes shook his head.

At this point, only Tanjiro was left to catch up.

"Aren't you going to help him?" Kuroko glanced back at him.

"No matter what, Lower Rank Five is still stronger than an ordinary demon," Tanjiro said seriously.

"You're right."

Black Eyes shut his mouth and quickened his pace.

Her fighting prowess absolutely overwhelms Shirafuji, but unfortunately, she lacks control over Yafusa and doesn't know how many blows she would need to inflict to kill Rui.

The bloody aura approached, staining the trees with an unusual crimson hue, as if one were in hell.

Black Eyes gently landed on an open space.

Here, a short male ghost is torturing a female ghost kneeling before him with a spider web.

"There are so many intruders today."

The male ghost, holding a spiderweb that resembled a flower rope, saw the black pupils fall to the ground and said something indifferently.

Chapter 128 The Strength of the Lower Moon

Are you abusing someone?

Knowing full well what was going on, Kuroko took two steps forward, looked closely at the ghost in front of her, and a nonchalant smile appeared on her face.

The problem with Yabuka is very serious. Against such powerful demons, especially Lower Moon demons, his swords are only slightly stronger than ordinary swords. If he can't exert a super strong restraining effect like a Nichirin Blade, then this battle will be extremely difficult.

But... it doesn't really matter.

Theoretically, even with an ordinary sword, if the damage dealt in a short period of time is sufficient, the demons would not be able to withstand it.

Unless you're like Muzan, who can blow yourself into countless pieces and still escape safely, then that's another story.

Tanjiro followed behind and witnessed the scene before him, his expression one of utter shock: "What are you doing? Aren't you comrades?"

"Companions?" Upon hearing this word, Lei's tone turned murderous. "Don't confuse us with those shallow people. We are family, bound together by a tight bond. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or else... I'll kill you."

Tanjiro was inexplicably angered by his words: "No, we're not family at all. I don't see any trust in you at all; all I can smell is fear and hatred. This isn't a bond at all; it's completely fake."

"..."

Kneeling on the ground, the older sister, her face covered in wounds, froze for a moment, staring at Tanjiro in disbelief. Meanwhile, her own emotions began to twist with exhaustion.

“He’s right,” Black Eyes said mercilessly. “You’re nothing but a pathetic wretch who can’t appreciate love.”

"you……"

Anger rose up for no reason, and with a wave of his arm, a thin thread, like a whip, was instantly pulled out and attacked the two of them.

Tanjiro immediately leaped up, swung his Nichirin Blade, and slashed fiercely at the line.

"what?"

The once neat blade was broken in two.

Tanjiro had no choice but to dodge to the side, narrowly avoiding a cut to his face. The threads continued to lash forward, forcing Kurome to subtly sidestep and dodge to the side as well.

Click!

A large tree behind us snapped with astonishing force, its trunk, thicker than a person's waist, falling straight down, its swaying branches making a rustling sound.

"Such formidable strength! This guy's threads actually cut the sword in one go." The brief exchange left Tanjiro with an indescribable sense of terror.

It can only be said that he truly lives up to his title as one of the Twelve Demon Moons; his insane strength is unmatched by any demon he has ever encountered.

After making one move, feeling that he had achieved his goal of intimidation, he said slowly and deliberately, "Now I'm giving you a chance to take back what you just said, otherwise... I'll make you wish you were dead." He then turned around.

"Aren't you being too confident?"

Black Eyes scoffed, and his figure vanished in the blink of an eye.

"What--"

Almost instantly, Lei became alert and quickly pulled out a huge net to block in front of him.

But with a flash of cold light, the net shattered, and the Eighth Chamber trembled as it sliced ​​through his neck and swiftly moved away.

After a brief, sharp pain, Lei hurriedly clutched his neck, jumped back, and stared at Hei Tong, who had already sheathed his knife, clenching his teeth.

His head... was cut off in half.

It wasn't a Nichirin Blade, but the speed in that instant was too fast. Although he reacted in time, at least half of his head had already been pierced by the blade.

A strange force was affecting his body's healing ability at the wound site, which made his mind instinctively tense.

"Hey, I thought I could chop off your head? Turns out you figured it out." Black Eyes chuckled evilly, took a light half-step back, and slowly sheathed his sword.

"Amazing."

Tanjiro was frightened by the strength she displayed, and Rui, who barely managed to dodge the attack, seemed to be in far more danger than expected.

Lei, on the other side, used silk thread to secure his neck, then reached out and touched the slowly healing cut, falling silent for a moment.

Even he had to admit that Kuroko was perfect. The girl's figure was clearly petite and slender. Such warriors usually didn't have much strength because their physical abilities couldn't support high-intensity combat, and they couldn't even cut open a demon's neck.

But Kurohime defied all of that.

"It seems your strength exceeds my expectations, easily severing my threads and even wounding my harder form. But... do you think this is the limit?"

His hands were so tired they were taut, and streaks of red blood covered his palms, spreading in all directions along the spider silk on his fingers.

"Blood Demon Art, Silk Binding!"

呲——

A dense, chillingly thick, blood-red net was instantly woven, enveloping Black Eyes from all sides.

"Danger!"

Tanjiro tried to come up and save her, but was pulled back by the girl who ran out of the box behind him.

This girl is Nezuko, Tanjiro's younger sister. After being turned into a demon by Muzan, she was carried in a box by Tanjiro and traveled to various places in order to find a way to turn back into a human.

It must be admitted that Tanjiro's experience is among the most tragic in all of anime. His entire family was killed, leaving only himself and his sister.

After being captured by Nezuko, Tanjiro could only watch helplessly as Kurome's eyes were enveloped by terrifying threads.

Compared to the spider silk that easily severed the tree just now, Lei's strength now is far greater than just a little bit.
