Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

He saw the Warabi-hime—or rather, the Fallen Princess—whom he had seen during the parade, staring at him with a gloomy expression.

Daki never expected that Tanjiro Kamado would appear before her in less than two hours.

Moreover, the other party arrived just as the ribbon he had separated found him, clearly indicating that he was exposed by the ribbon.

In other words, without her knowledge, the cave and her abilities were discovered by others.

At this moment, the surroundings began to become chaotic due to the commotion that had just occurred.

Some roared, some exclaimed, and footsteps were approaching from above.

Tanjiro Kamado didn't care at all, took a step forward, and walked into the darkness of the room.

At the same time, Tanjiro Kamado's Nichirin Blade moved once more, slashing out to both sides at incredible speed, and then delivering a final slash into the sky.

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Daki was no longer in the location that Kamado Tanjiro had sensed. Instead, she fell from the sky and landed not far from Kamado Tanjiro.

Looking at Tanjiro Kamado, he sneered:

"I didn't expect you to find me so quickly, even though I've been quite restrained lately."

"Once you do it, there will naturally be traces. Your idea that you can hide it well is just your opinion."

Tanjiro Kamado stared at the other person and found that the other person had changed his appearance.

The words engraved by the Upper Moon demon finally appeared in his eyes, and pink tattoos appeared on his cheeks. The ribbons floating behind him were slowly healing.

"Ha, don't you think pursuing this so relentlessly is a pointless endeavor?"

Daki spoke, but her eyes were constantly observing Tanjiro Kamado.

From the probing just now, she had already discovered that the Kamado Tanjiro in front of her was definitely not an ordinary Demon Slayer Corps member. Whether it was speed or reaction ability, he was among the best she had ever seen in the Demon Slayer Corps.

Could he be a Pillar-level swordsman?

Daki was deep in thought.

At this moment, Tanjiro Kamado naturally had no interest in chatting with Daki about trivial matters.

He took a breath, took a step forward, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Breath of Water - Raging Tide of Strike.

Tanjiro Kamado had no intention of holding back from the start, unleashing his fastest speed and launching multiple attacks forward.

The target was undoubtedly Daki's neck.

Daki's eyes widened in that instant. She hadn't even seen how Kamado Tanjiro moved, yet he appeared in front of her in just a few leaps and bounds, his blade raised.

Daki opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't utter a word; her mind was already floating in mid-air.

She stared blankly down at the sight, only to find that her line of sight had risen, allowing her to see her own headless corpse.

One slash, just one slash, and he was beheaded?

A sense of horror arose in Daki's heart. At the same time, her body moved automatically. Two ribbons quickly pulled her head back, and her legs suddenly exerted force, jumping away from Kamado Tanjiro.

The ribbon carried the head back to her neck.

She looked at Tanjiro Kamado with shock and wariness, not understanding what had just happened.

"As expected, simply beheading someone once isn't enough."

Tanjiro Kamado confirmed his suspicions, raising his sword to Daki and saying:

"If you don't give it your all, then try cutting your body to pieces and see if you survive."

As soon as he finished speaking, an immense killing intent surged forth from Kamado Tanjiro, who had previously shown little aura, and rushed towards Daki.

In a daze, Daki even had the illusion that the other party was more capable of killing than herself.

"Daki! She's coming!"

A voice rang in her mind, and Daki came to her senses to find that Kamado Tanjiro had disappeared. Her eyes darted around, trying to find his whereabouts, but the next second, she felt a steel blade pierce through her brain and eyes.

Before she could resist, the steel blade flipped, turning her brain into mush.

Then, with a horizontal slash of the steel blade, half of her brain was sliced ​​off.

With her brain destroyed, Daki has almost lost the ability to think.

But his body didn't stop moving at all; the ribbon behind him, like a venomous snake, attacked Tanjiro Kamado's waist from behind.

At the same time, he exerted force with both legs, trying to escape from Tanjiro Kamado's side.

A cold glint flashed in Tanjiro Kamado's eyes, and his Nichirin Blade blurred into a blur as it severed the ribbon once more, also cutting off Daki's legs in the process.

Daki's body collapsed to the ground.

The Kyogokuya thugs who came to check on the situation also witnessed a scene inside the room that resembled hell. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 272 Just a weak evil spirit

The thugs standing at the door looked at Daki lying in a pool of blood inside the room, and then at Tanjiro Kamado, who was covered in blood and holding a knife.

He suddenly shouted:

"Killing, killing!"

Fear appeared on the thugs' faces. They had killed people before, but they had never seen such a cruel method.

The thugs' exclamations immediately caused an uproar throughout the entire Kyogoku-ya.

Many guests rushed out of the room without even being properly dressed.

The thugs stood outside the door, too afraid to move. After all, such a ruthless opponent meant that if they went up now, they would likely become the next ones lying on the ground, their bodies mutilated.

With such a meager monthly salary, why are they risking their lives?

Just then, one of the thugs suddenly let out a scream, which then spread rapidly to everyone in the arena.

If you look closely, you can see that several ribbons fell from the ceiling and went straight into the bodies of these thugs, quickly sucking their blood.

"You don't seem to care much about their lives?"

A sinister voice echoed in the room, then vanished without a trace.

"A bunch of worthless bastards, and you went to help them, isn't that exactly what you wanted?"

Tanjiro Kamado coldly stared at the thugs, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

During the two months he was on the road, he also killed many of these thugs from the outposts.

They roam the shadowy areas, completely disregarding the lives of ordinary people, and he naturally paid them no heed.

Tanjiro Kamado turned his gaze and it fell on Daki's mangled body.

As Daki absorbed blood, her body began to slowly repair itself. Her legs had grown back, but the only thing that was a little slow was that half of her brain had been cut off by Tanjiro Kamado.

An underdeveloped brain is as terrifying as a melting candle.

Tanjiro Kamado sneered:

"Stop playing tricks. Haven't you been hiding inside Daki's body all along? If you don't come out soon, I'll have to keep my word and see if you can survive after I cut your body to pieces."

The sinister voice that had just spoken fell silent for a moment before slowly continuing:

"Who are you? How did you learn our secret?"

A figure emerged from Daki's back like Aladdin's lamp, except that Aladdin's lamp produced mist, while this figure was slowly growing flesh and blood.

After its form fully grew, it crawled out of Daki's body.

His head resembled haphazardly growing seaweed, his face looked terrifying and gloomy, and he held two blood-red scythes in his hands, staring intently at Tanjiro Kamado with a look of astonishment and suspicion on his face.

"That's not important. What's important is that you're about to die."

Tanjiro Kamado raised his sword and said coldly.

"You think you can kill me?"

Gyutaro gave a cold shout, observing the boy in front of him with a cold eye.

After all, this being was capable of killing Daki at a speed that Daki couldn't even see, and Gyutaro felt that this was a troublesome situation.

He wasn't sure if he could have withstood the speed his opponent had just used.

"Since your sister has almost recovered, you two can go together."

Tanjiro Kamado didn't care about Gyutaro's attitude at all; after all, he never cared about the attitude of a dead person, or rather, a ghost.

"Insanity!"

Gyutaro shouted, but he became even more wary.

He had just been wondering why Tanjiro Kamado hadn't stopped Daki from recovering; it turned out that she had been waiting for both of them to fully recover.

It's clear that Tanjiro Kamado has absolute confidence in his own power and believes he can handle their combined attack.

"Brother, stop wasting your breath on him. With his speed, we're not going to escape today."

Daki had now fully recovered, just as Tanjiro Kamado had said, and said angrily.

Since she became a ghost, she has never been in such a sorry state as she is today.

Upon hearing Daki's words, Gyutaro suppressed his surprise and doubt.
