Chapter 276 Battle against Upper Moon Two, Doma

Upper Moon Two - Douma.

Tanjiro Kamado squinted and leaped off the roof.

Meanwhile, Shinobu and Tamayo, who were in the Butterfly House, had already heard the news and came out of their room.

Shinobu's pupils constricted sharply the instant she saw Doma through the open door of the Butterfly House.

To her, that figure was so familiar, so familiar that she dreamed of killing him.

The anger that had been suppressed for years was like dried vegetables meeting a raging fire; at this moment, it could no longer be contained and burned fiercely.

"Miss Shinobu Kocho, please calm down."

Miss Tamayo said softly from the side,

"Miss Shinobu Kocho should still remember Mr. Ubuyashiki's instructions. Let's go and meet up with Mr. Ubuyashiki right now, and leave everything here to Mr. Kamado."

When Kagaya Ubuyashiki was calculating combat strength, he specifically placed Tanjiro Kamado in a separate category, while the other Pillar-level swordsmen were required to go to other places to provide support during the war.

Shinobu Kocho was no exception.

Shinobu bit her lip. She knew that Tanjiro Kamado was very strong, and if she stayed here, she would only affect him.

But the anger in her heart was something she simply couldn't suppress...

"Sister, it's alright, you go ahead. I'll tell you how Tanjiro cut off his head."

Just then, the voice of Kanao Tsuyuri came from the side.

Shinobu Kocho then noticed that Kanao Tsuyuri was standing to the side.

"Kanao, what are you doing here?"

Shinobu Kocho was somewhat surprised.

"Tanjiro has a pot of medicine to brew and asked me for help."

Chestnut flowers fall and fragrant.

At that moment, Tanjiro Kamado shouted:

"Miss Shinobu, go and support the others, especially Mr. Rengoku. Right now, Upper Moon One and Upper Moon Two haven't appeared yet, so we need to concentrate our forces as soon as possible. I'll take care of things here as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing this, Shinobu finally gave up her insistence.

After all, Upper Moon One is undoubtedly a formidable enemy. Although Kyojuro Rengoku is powerful, he would surely be defeated if he faced two Upper Moon demons. Therefore, it is necessary for her to reunite with Kyojuro Rengoku.

"Let's go, Ms. Tamayo."

The butterfly, with its forbearance, turns back to face the world's ways.

Tamayo nodded, but there was still some worry in her eyes as she looked at Tanjiro Kamado.

Although Kagaya Ubuyashiki repeatedly told her that Tanjiro Kamado easily killed Upper Moon Six, Upper Moon Two was definitely not in the same league as Upper Moon Six.

Furthermore, Upper Moon One has not yet appeared. If he attacks Tanjiro Kamado together with Upper Moon Two, it is unknown whether Tanjiro Kamado can withstand it.

But now, we can only trust Tanjiro Kamado.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm right here. You're talking like I'm not a problem."

Doma finally spoke up, standing not far from Tanjiro Kamado. He showed no hostility, but a faint chill emanated from him, and fine snowflakes drifted towards the people in the Butterfly House.

He smiled as he sized up the people before him, then a slight look of surprise appeared on his face:

"Looking at it this way, they're all familiar faces..."

"Ms. Tamayo, I never expected you to be involved with the Demon Slayer Corps."

"This lady wearing the butterfly haori seems somewhat familiar."

"And this young man, I'm really lucky to have met you so soon after entering the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters."

Doma took out a fan from his sleeve, fanned himself, and smiled faintly.

"Really? Whether it's good luck or bad luck isn't up to you to decide."

Tanjiro Kamado did not rush to make a move; he was calculating Doma's abilities in his mind.

In fact, although Douma seemed to be talking to them, the attack began the moment he arrived.

The fine snowflakes falling from the sky were not caused by the low temperature, but were created by the Blood Demon Art cast by Douma.

It contains a highly toxic substance; inhaling even a small amount can cause numbness.

If inhaled in large quantities, it can cause complete paralysis and eventually death.

It is an extremely insidious and ruthless tactic.

Tanjiro Kamado raised one of his fingers, and a few snowflakes landed on his fingertip. In an instant, his emotional power enveloped the snowflake.

In an instant, he noticed that what was wrapped in the snowflake was a trace of blood, and the terrifying poison came from this trace of blood.

As expected, everything his master predicted came true. Doma appeared peaceful and looked no different from a human, but his personality was the worst among all the Upper Moon demons.

Doma looked at the people in front of him with a smile.

Although he didn't believe that someone who could easily defeat Daki could easily defeat him, that didn't mean he wasn't cautious.

After all, the scene before Daki's death was transmitted to them by Muzan Kibutsuji, and the speed that Tanjiro Kamado displayed in it was something that even he might be slightly unable to match.

So he was waiting, waiting for Tanjiro Kamado in front of him to be poisoned and affected.

So he didn't make a move even after Shinobu and the others left.

After Shinobu Kocho and Tamayo disappeared, Tanjiro Kamado moved silently.

He moved with incredible speed; the ten-meter distance between him and Doma passed in the blink of an eye. The blade at his waist was already drawn, and the light of the blade flashed across the ten-meter distance.

Doma's pupils contracted slightly, and he moved the instant Tanjiro Kamado took action. He bent down and retreated quickly, waving his fan continuously and splashing out patches of snow.

However, Tanjiro Kamado was completely unaffected. His sword flashed continuously, cutting through the snow curtain and rapidly closing the distance between him and Doma.

In just a few breaths, Doma realized that he had entered Tanjiro Kamado's attack range.

In his other hand, another iron fan appeared, which he vigorously waved, causing large swathes of ice crystals, resembling clouds, to fly out.

Blood Demon Art: Frozen Cloud

The Blood Demon Art was so large that it covered a three-meter radius around Doma, naturally including Tanjiro Kamado as well.

A slight smile appeared on Doma's lips. This technique was extremely cold, and with Tanjiro Kamado so close, even he would surely be... struck head-on by the impact.

Before he could finish his thoughts, he felt a surge within the ice crystals, followed by a sharp whooshing sound.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately controlled the surrounding ice crystals to begin merging, instantly forming two lifelike ice lotuses in the shape of young girls.

Their expressions were compassionate, their faces holy, their eyes lowered, as they exhaled a breath.

Instantly, even colder air surged out, freezing everything in its path into ice.

Blood Demon Art: Frosty White Princess

If a human is exposed to such a cold wave even slightly, their body temperature will immediately drop to a terrifying level.

Although they will not die, their bodies will directly enter a state similar to hibernation.

If it doesn't recover after a while, the lack of blood flow will lead to functional decline and death.

Ding!

A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out, and the two ice-bound girls were instantly split in two, for Doma was forced to retreat once more.

At this moment, the ice crystals slowly dissipated, and Tanjiro Kamado's figure slowly appeared. He held the Nichirin Blade in his hand, which gleamed coldly, and a blood-red ice crystal flower bloomed on the tip of the blade.

Doma's seven-colored eyes widened.

The next second, a huge wound appeared from his shoulder down to his waist.

Countless drops of blood gushed out.

Doma's wide eyes were filled with astonishment; he hadn't even realized he was injured.

How can this be?

How can Tanjiro Kamado be so strong?

"Didn't it kill him in one hit?"

Tanjiro Kamado was somewhat surprised. This time, because he was in a hurry, he used his inner strength and emotional power. However, he did not expect that Doma would actually dodge the fatal slash, causing his blade to deflect by a few inches.

He was slashed by Tanjiro Kamado from his collarbone to his heart.

However, the Upper Moon Two of the Twelve Demon Moons naturally has an extremely fast regeneration speed. Its wounds only existed for a second before automatically healing, and even the patriarch's robes on Doma's body were restored to their original state.

"Hahaha, so close, so close, you were about to cut off my head. What a pity."

Doma snapped out of his daze, a smile playing on his lips. He seemed to be praising Tanjiro Kamado's speed, but it was actually a ploy to win him over. At the same time, his seven-colored eyes narrowed slightly.

He naturally had an assessment of Tanjiro Kamado's speed, but it was now clear that Tanjiro Kamado had not used his full strength when fighting Daki.

However, it is likely that Tanjiro Kamado used his fastest speed to kill him as quickly as possible. If it was only that speed, although it was surprising, it was not impossible to counter it.

Or rather, among all the Upper Moons, he has a natural advantage when facing this type of fast-moving warrior.

However, Doma still had some doubts in his heart. After all, Tanjiro Kamado had indeed been hit by his Blood Demon Art: Frozen Cloud, so why did Tanjiro Kamado look so relaxed now?
