Chapter 555: SFDI - 555
Tanjiro wielded his Nichirin Blade, cutting through the threads that slashed through the air, and then looked straight at the small, white-haired boy in front of him.
Just now, he had followed the scent and found the Spider Mother.
But to his surprise, all he smelled on the Spider Mother was the scent of fear and pain.
Tanjiro couldn’t imagine what she had experienced, that she didn’t resist when facing his blade, as if she was longing for death.
Tanjiro didn’t show mercy like other saints, thinking about saving her or something. All he could do was use the gentlest technique when wielding his sword.
Although Tanjiro didn’t know the sword form in Water Breathing that could let demons die without any pain, he still let the Spider Mother turn to ashes in the warmth of bathing in the sunlight, a feeling buried deep in her memory.
But then, Tanjiro encountered the Spider Father, who had a spider’s head.
Perhaps out of Rui’s "a father should protect the rest of the family" obsession, the Spider Father was the strongest in terms of pure power.
He not only had a body that was far stronger than other demons and enormous physical strength, but he could also become stronger by molting.
Drake speculated that the power of the Spider Family should all come from Rui.
The first reason was that it was impossible for it to be such a coincidence that all the demons whose Blood Demon Arts were based on spiders were concentrated on Mt. Natagumo.
And the second reason was that Drake understood Muzan. Muzan had said that Rui was a demon he had special expectations for.
This was of course not just because Rui, like Muzan, was plagued by disease when he was human.
Thinking about it, Muzan wouldn’t have such a thing as sympathy. Perhaps he turned Rui into a demon for this reason, but it should be that Rui showed potential that made him favored by Muzan.
Drake guessed that the obsession with family bonds allowed Rui to have the ability to share his abilities with other demons, and even the Upper Rank demons and Muzan himself didn’t have this ability, so he was noticed by Muzan.
And this created the Spider Family on Mt. Natagumo, who possessed the same series of abilities.
And what the Spider Father obtained was the strongest ability for head-on combat.
But unfortunately, compared to himself who came to Mt. Natagumo in the original plot, the current Tanjiro was completely different.
With one move, Scorching Bone Blazing Sun, Tanjiro used this strike that could restrain the regeneration of demons to cut off the Spider Father’s arm, and then directly beheaded the Spider Father who wanted to molt.
In the end, only the real Lower Rank Five remained in front of Tanjiro.
When Drake and Stella, who had killed the Spider Sister, arrived, what they saw was a scene of one person and one demon fighting fiercely.
Tanjiro wielded the black Nichirin Blade, unleashing the sword forms of Sun Breathing one by one, cutting all the threads that Rui had created with his Blood Demon Art, which were tougher than steel wire.
Drake had long conducted simulated training for Tanjiro, using magic tools or magic to imitate the abilities of the Twelve Kizuki to allow Tanjiro to adapt in advance.
So Tanjiro was particularly calm in this battle, while Rui had a somewhat... broken feeling.
This wasn’t because he was suppressed by Tanjiro in the battle, but because he had been hit where it hurt by a word from Tanjiro earlier.
Earlier, during the battle with the Spider Father, Rui had been watching coldly.
In Rui’s cognition, a father should be a character who protects his family, and a father who couldn’t protect his family was unqualified.
So when he said he wanted to avenge his father, he was refuted by Tanjiro.
"You don’t have any sadness or anger from losing your family, so don’t lie. The family and bonds you created with terror and fear are completely fake!"
It would be strange if Rui didn’t break down after being denied the thing he valued most!
Tanjiro moved his feet, and flames extended out from the blade, with some red traces vaguely revealed between the blades.
"Blood Demon Art: Murderous Eye Basket!"
Rui clapped his hands together. When they separated, he pulled out a web of silk, and then directly covered Tanjiro.
The trees beside Rui were first cut off at the waist, and then directly cut into pieces, which showed how sharp the threads that Rui released were.
Faced with those threads that were almost invisible to the naked eye, Tanjiro used his nose to smell the speed and trajectory of their approach.
Then what he needed to do next was... constantly swing his sword!
"Hinokami Kagura: Setting Sun Transformation!"
As Tanjiro’s body moved, a fire dragon appeared out of thin air, and the threads were cut off wherever the fire dragon wound.
And the dragon’s head twisted, already biting towards Rui’s neck, and inside the dragon’s head was Tanjiro, who was wielding his sword.
However, Rui was a member of the Twelve Kizuki after all, a talent who could do the operation of cutting off his own head with threads before his neck was cut off by the Nichirin Blade in the original plot.
Blood seeped from Rui’s fingers, and the threads in front of him were instantly dyed red. Although the concealment properties of ordinary threads were lost, the toughness of the blood threads was increased several times.
After cutting off several threads, Tanjiro’s sword momentum was about to run out. The blade crashed into the blood threads, but didn’t cut them off, and the fire dragon also disappeared because the sword form was blocked.
Then Tanjiro saw a large number of blood-colored threads covering over.
"Blood Demon Art: Cutting Thread Cage!"
He flipped over, but as soon as Tanjiro stabilized his body, he saw another spider web-like blood thread approaching rapidly.
A flame appeared at the corner of Tanjiro’s mouth, and then his body seemed to stutter, pausing for a moment, and in the next instant, he had already swung his sword several times.
The blood-colored threads that were covering his head were broken inch by inch, turning into ashes in the air. Tanjiro also approached Rui again.
Rui’s expression had already been distorted. He couldn’t calm down because he couldn’t kill Tanjiro, this hateful guy who had touched his inverse scale.
His killing intent made Rui create more blood threads, weaving a spiral pattern web in front of him, and then directly hitting Tanjiro.
"Blood Demon Art: Cutting Thread Rotation!"
Compared to Cutting Thread Cage, the destructive power of Cutting Thread Rotation was much stronger, and even the ground was scraped off a layer.
Faced with this strike, Tanjiro didn’t retreat, but instead took another step forward.
"Hinokami Kagura: Dance!"
This was the first and simplest sword form of Sun Breathing, but it was also the most powerful move.
The rotating blood threads paused for a moment, and then were split in two by the spreading ring of fire.
Rui couldn’t have imagined that his strongest strike would be cut open so easily. By the time he reacted, Tanjiro, who had jumped up, had already arrived above him.
"Hinokami Kagura: Beneficent Radiance!"
The flames swirled down, and Tanjiro landed behind Rui, and Rui’s head also fell from his body at the same time.
This time, Tanjiro didn’t give Rui any chance to play the trick of cutting off his own head with threads before his neck was cut off by the Nichirin Blade, and truly killed this demon.
Tanjiro sheathed his sword, and looked back at Rui, who was starting to turn to ashes, with clear eyes.
"Atone for your sins well in another world, and then find your true family and bonds!"
Drake sighed on the side. With his participation, Tanjiro was many times stronger than in the original plot. It seemed that opponents of this level couldn’t create much pressure for Tanjiro anymore.
It seemed that to awaken the marks and the Transparent World, he needed stronger opponents!
