Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

"Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance!"

Two blue blades flashed out, slashing across each other. The three ghosts that rushed towards them were instantly decapitated, turning into ashes and dissipating in the twisted corridor.

Sabito and Yiyong walked at the front, one on the left and one on the right, working together seamlessly.

The two deliberately held back some of their strength, occasionally letting one or two demons whose strength was just barely at the threshold of the Lower Moon, and passing them on to Tanjiro behind them to practice on.

Tanjiro was also very cunning. In front of his two senior brothers, he obediently used the Water Breathing sword technique to slash and cut, each move was proper and he dared not be sly in the slightest.

"Damn it! These ghosts just won't stop! One, two, three, we can't kill them all!"

With a single blow, Sabito shattered the head of the onrushing demon, cursing as he flicked the blood off his blade.

Compared to Sabito, whose words are faster than his sword, Giyu was much more silent. He only swung his sword to take down the demons that had escaped before speaking calmly: "Don't swear in front of Tanjiro."

Yi Yong was always worried that Sabito's talkative nature might lead his honest junior brother astray.

"So what? This brat dares to sneak off to the red-light district behind our backs, is there anything he wouldn't dare to do?"

Sakoto glanced at the person behind him with a sarcastic tone, "I haven't even been to a place like that yet, and he's already getting to experience it first, huh?"

Tanjiro, who was focused on slaying demons, choked upon hearing this.

"Senior Brother Qiantu, I didn't..."

"You didn't! How come you didn't!"

Sabito immediately flew into a rage, slashing the oni that lunged at him to death with a single blow. He then stopped in his tracks, turned around, and yelled at Tanjiro:

"When Senior Beimingyu's Kasugai Crow told me you skipped training for two whole days, I didn't believe it! You've really gotten bolder now!"

"If Muzan hadn't suddenly come knocking on our door, you'd already be hanging from a tree and being whipped like a top, understand?!"

The more Sabito talked, the angrier he became. He pointed at Tanjiro's nose, looking at him with a disappointed expression.

Tanjiro was so scolded that he couldn't even lift his head, and he couldn't get a word in edgewise when he tried to explain.

"Senior brother... I really do have something important to do."

"Go talk to my rope about anything important later!" Sabito was completely unyielding. "Just wait and see if I don't whip you. After I've dealt with Muzan, see how I handle you!"

A sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned; a person will grow unkempt if they're not

Sabito was convinced that Tanjiro was slacking off from training and had even gone astray by frequenting the pleasure quarters.

Tanjiro hung his head helplessly, sighing inwardly.

Now we can only wait for Senior Sangdao to come forward and explain things to me. Hopefully, the blue plant that grows in front of my house can help Senior Sangdao.

The three fought their way forward, the corridors of the Infinite Castle constantly twisting and changing. Fortunately, Nakime secretly adjusted their route, so they didn't take too many detours.

Almost at the same time, Xingming and Tianyuan from the other side also arrived at the core area.

The demolition team leader, Xingming, demolished everything in his path, wielding his meteor hammer with a series of clangs. He slaughtered the demons in the Infinite City acre by acre. However, it was tough on Nakime, who had to constantly update the map of the Infinite City and tell the other Demon Slayer Corps members where they couldn't go.

Tengen, the captain of the demolition squad, blows up wherever he goes. The bag he carries is like Doraemon's pocket, with its own sound effects as it appears, crackling and popping. He clears out the ghosts he encounters in a flashy yet efficient manner. If it weren't for Yushiro's quick self-introduction, he would have also been hit by Tengen's explosives.

"Sabito! Tomioka!" Tengen waved his hand, laughing boastfully, "You guys aren't slow either."

Just as the rabbit was about to reply, it smelled a strong, pungent stench, mixed with the smell of rotting blood, which made it nauseous.

Looking up, he immediately frowned.

In the open space in the middle of the corridor, a large, dark red ball of flesh hung suspended, like a deformed heart, thumping slowly.

The surface was covered with protruding blood vessels and fascia, and a sticky red liquid was dripping down, making it look extremely disgusting.

"This is Muzan? How disgusting!"

The rabbit clicked its tongue in amazement, and its words were sharp and sarcastic.

As if it understood his mockery, the fleshy mass suddenly swelled up a bit, and its color deepened, giving it a dramatic red-hot appearance.

"Don't be careless," Xingming said in a deep voice. "Miss Tamayo must have injected a drug to suppress Muzan's power into his body, which is why he looks like this. The effects of the drug won't last long."

"Shouldn't we take advantage of his illness and kill him?"

After Sabito finished speaking, before anyone else could react, he took a half step back, gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, and leaped into the air with a light touch of his toes.

"Water Breathing - Form 8 - Takitsubo!"

A downward slash, carrying the force of surging water, struck the fleshy mass with tremendous force.

"Pfft-"

A large chunk of flesh was shaved off, and the fleshy mass was cut open in half, revealing what was inside.

Inside the fleshy ball, Muzan, held in place by thorns, had his eyes tightly closed and his face ashen, indicating that he had not yet fully overcome the effects of the drug.

Beside him, Tamayo had a sharp finger pierce her forehead and pinned to her flesh. Her eyes were closed, her breath was weak, and she looked like she was on the verge of death.

Sabito was stunned when he saw this from the air, completely unprepared for Tamayo's serious injuries.

There was no foothold where I was falling; the nearest place to land was four or five meters away. Just as I was about to fall, a hand suddenly grabbed the back of my collar from the side.

Giyu grabbed Tanjiro, who leaped forward and grabbed Sabito by the back of his collar, using the momentum to pull him back.

The three staggered back onto the platform.

"Miss Tamayo!"

Tanjiro also saw Tamayo's appearance, cried out in surprise, and raised his foot to rush over to save her, but Giyu stopped him.

"Tanjiro."

Giyuu's gaze fell on the yellow figure rushing towards them from afar, and he instructed in a deep voice, "Go with Zenitsu and evacuate the low-ranking members nearby."

"But Miss Tamayo..."

“We will find a way to rescue her,” Giyu said firmly. “It’s too dangerous here. Muzan could revert to his old ways at any time. You should take the ordinary people and evacuate first.”

"Those people becoming Muzan's food will only allow Muzan to recover faster."

Tanjiro weighed the pros and cons and decided to follow his senior's arrangement: "Alright."

He turned and ran toward Zenitsu, who had just arrived.

Zenitsu was still dozing off and stumbling along the way, but as Tanjiro approached, he automatically activated the one-click follow mode and obediently followed behind him to evacuate the team.

"Were you worried that your junior brother would die here, so you deliberately sent him away?"

On the platform of the opposite attic, Tengen wiped the blood from his chin and teased Giyu with a smile, "Tomioka, you're doing something as glamorous as ever."

Giyu didn't respond to him, but looked up at Tamayo inside the ball of flesh, his brows furrowed.

In the middle is a suspended abyss, with nowhere to step except for the protrusion where the fleshy ball is located.

The distance is too far; even if you jump across, there's absolutely no chance of successfully turning back.

"Ms. Tamayo, are you alright?" Giyuu asked, raising his voice.

Tamayo slowly opened her eyes inside the ball of flesh. Blood was still seeping from the wound on her forehead, but her voice was calm: "I'm fine."

They had already given up and were waiting to die, clinging to their last breath, hoping to wait until Muzan removed the first layer of the drug's effects so they could give Muzan one last taunt. They never expected the Demon Slayer Corps to arrive so quickly.

Given the distance, even if Sabito and Giyu were anxious, they couldn't come up with a safe way to rescue them.

"The final, magnificent victory wouldn't be complete without a grand and glorious festival!"

Chapter 221 I'm doomed! The desperate scumbag boss

Tengen reached down to his lower back and pulled out a kunai wrapped with a thick iron chain, which he swung around in his hand several times.

The iron chain made a "whooshing" sound as it cut through the air. Aiming at the pillar of the opposite pavilion, he flicked his wrist.

"call out--"

The kunai, carrying the iron chain, flew out and, with a clang, embedded itself deep into the wooden pillar, penetrating most of its length.

Tianyuan tugged on the chain to make sure it was secure, then handed the other end to Xingming beside him.

"Senior Himejima, I'm leaving this to you."

"rest assured."

Xingming took the chain, wrapped it around his wrist twice, tensed his arm muscles, and steadily straightened the chain.

Heavy iron chains straddled the two platforms, taut and straight, looking quite dangerous.

The next second, Tianyuan lightly touched the ground with his toes and landed lightly on the iron chain.

With a steady gait as if walking on flat ground, he walked step by step toward the ball of flesh in the middle. Duang, this huge person walked on the iron chain as lightly as a cat.

"Is it that great?"

Sabito's eyes widened in disbelief. "Holy crap, Uzui, you actually had this up your sleeve!"

"I used to be an excellent ninja, this is a piece of cake, okay?"

Tengen raised his chin at Sabito opposite him, and arrogantly flicked the beads on his headband, "When it comes to splendor, it has to be me."

Talking doesn't slow down his walking; Tianyuan walks very steadily and quickly reaches the meatball.

Seizing the opportunity, Tengen swung his sword down, a flash of cold light, and Muzan severed the hand that was pinning Tamayo down at the wrist.

He reached out and grabbed Tamayo's waist, weighed her in his arms, then turned and threw her forcefully towards Sabito and the others.

"Catch!"

Sabito stepped forward and caught Tamayo steadily.

"Lord Jushi!"

Yushiro, carrying a backpack and wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform, rushed to the scene. Seeing Tamayo's disheveled state, he wished he could tear Muzan apart alive.

Just as Tamayo escaped danger, the fleshy ball behind Tengen suddenly began to violently throb.

The entire fleshy ball contracted and expanded wildly, and the shockwave spread along the iron chain. Tianyuan's feet swayed, and he almost fell.

Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, grabbing the chain with one hand and hanging in mid-air, his right arm veins bulging as he held on tightly, preventing him from falling and turning into a meat pie.

However, even if he didn't die on the spot, the shadow of death was still approaching Tianyuan.

Mucus seeped out from the heart of the fleshy ball, gradually transforming into flesh and blood that stretched outwards, sticking to the iron chain, and rapidly approaching Tianyuan, who was gripping the chain.

Being covered in this kind of slime is never a good thing.
