Infinite: Start as a ghost

"So fast," the pig-headed man exclaimed sincerely.

Tanjiro looked at Zenitsu with surprise and delight: "Wow, Zenitsu is that strong?"

The spider father was far superior to both Zenitsu and Inosuke in terms of strength, defense, and speed. Unexpectedly, Zenitsu's speed was comparable to his.

Immediately, a plan formed in his mind.

"Zenitsu, use your speed to attract his attention."

"Inosuke, cover Zenitsu, don't let him get hurt."

Give me some time.

Chapter 56 On the Eve of Battle

Pig-headed man: "Damn it, you're ordering me around again."

Zenitsu: "Received..."

That's what they say, but the spider father mainly takes care of the pig-headed man.

This guy's gone mad, he keeps using reckless, suicidal attacks.

They had no idea what flanking maneuvers, harassment, or cover were.

Actually, he was more unwilling to follow Tanjiro's orders.

Although Pighead is stupid, his combat EQ is not low; on the contrary, it should be said to be very high.

Zenitsu and Inosuke's situations were completely reversed.

Pighead is the main attacker, Zenitsu provides cover and harasses.

The two of them worked together very well, and since Zenitsu joined the battle, none of them had been injured.

Jiang Jiu nodded in satisfaction as he observed their performance.

Not long after, Tanjiro unleashed his power.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them: "Water Breathing, Tenth Form, Life Flow..."

This was his strongest move, and also his last.

He then spun around, his entire body and the Nichirin Blade spinning in the air.

Judging from this move, it's almost a combo of "Water Breathing O Second Form O Waterwheel", but an enhanced version that gets stronger with each rotation.

"when……"

"Clang clang clang..."

After continuous and relentless slashing, the spider father's arm was finally severed on the sixth strike.

"It's a success." Zenitsu was pleasantly surprised.

"Tch." The pig-headed man was even more unwilling.

"Zenitsu, Inosuke, surround him, don't let him escape." After saying this, Tanjiro focused all his energy on his own moves.

With relentless, relentless attacks, the spider father was completely disintegrated in less than five minutes.

This was even with his continuous and powerful self-healing.

"Hahaha, finally you're dead by our blades!" The pig-headed man laughed wildly.

As Jiang Jiu watched his disappearing spider father, something suddenly occurred to him.

He had been wondering why the purity of his blood was increasing so slowly after absorbing the former Ghost Moon.

It wasn't until just now that he finally understood.

Tanjiro was able to kill the former Demon Moon's drum demon, Hibiki, all by himself.

It took all three of them working together to barely defeat the spider father.

Although the two fought evenly when they teamed up before, even in Spider Father's first form, he would be the one to win after a long battle.

Because human physical strength, endurance, and recovery ability are simply incomparable to those of ghosts.

In the second form, if it weren't for Zenitsu's speed advantage, they would need to add another person to have a chance of winning.

Despite their easy victory, if the spider father's regenerative abilities were even slightly stronger, their stamina would have been exhausted first, and they would have been close to exhaustion.

What does this mean?

This shows that the Spider Father, despite not being the previous Ghost Moon, is far stronger than the previous Ghost Moon.

But he was just an ordinary ghost!

So Jiang Jiu understood that Ghost Month is Ghost Month. Apart from the title, the former Ghost Month was no different from an ordinary ghost in essence.

That's why the purity of his blood increased so slowly.

Suddenly, he muttered to himself in frustration, "What a loss! I haven't eaten a single ghost since I came here."

Now, the spider mother, the spider brother, and the spider father have all been killed.

All that's left are the spider sister and the spider brother.

"Let's go, use breathing techniques to recover our strength as we walk, and head to Nezuko's place," Jiang Jiu said.

The three of them happily agreed.

Having killed the spider father, their mood improved considerably.

By the time they arrived at Nezuko's location, the battle was already over.

Nezuko was slightly out of breath, but she had no injuries, only some scratches on her clothes from spider silk.

Based on these traces, Jiang Jiu deduced that she did not heal herself after being injured, but rather defeated Spider Sister without any real injury.

Murata delivered the final blow.

Because Nezuko cannot kill demons, she can only rely on her Nichirin Blade to be effective.

“Very good, you are all excellent. Now there is only one enemy left.” Jiang Jiu said with a smile.

"I want the four of you to team up and fight the Spider Brother first, so that you can gain experience in fighting the Twelve Demon Moons."

Zenitsu and Tanjiro reacted indifferently, Nezuko showed little interest, while the Inosuke was unusually excited.

Nezuko has absolutely no interest in fighting; in fact, one could say she loathes it. She usually fights only for Tanjiro's safety.

This time too, it's for Tanjiro's growth, so as not to hold him back.

Pighead, needless to say, is a battle maniac. He wants to fight anyone he sees, regardless of whether he can win or not, as long as he can fight.

"Your strength has exceeded my expectations. I thought I would have to step in and deal with Spider Father in the end."

Tanjiro and Zenitsu didn't say anything, but the boar head jumped out.

"Hey, hey, what do you mean by that, Straw Hat Monster?" Pighead roared. "Are you trying to say we're weak?"

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "No, you are very strong."

"That's more like it," Pighead said smugly. "After I deal with those ten ghost moons, I'll challenge you."

"Okay," Jiang Jiu said with a smile, without refusing.

Now, they have only one enemy left, who is also the most powerful enemy they will face.

The true ruler of Mount Natagumo, the spider brother ranked fifth among the twelve demon moons, is Rei.

Chapter 57 Searching

The five of them, led by Jiang Jiu, continued their search for Spider Brother's whereabouts.

Murata withdrew from the group that was tasked with exorcising demons.

He felt that since his strength was so weak, it didn't matter whether he was there or not, and it wouldn't have any impact on the team.

Therefore, he asked Jiang Jiu to handle the remains of the Demon Slayer Corps members.

Naturally, no one could refuse such an opportunity, so the team was reduced from six to five people.

"Has your nose recovered?" Jiang Jiu asked Tanjiro.

"Yes, the strange smell disappeared after I killed the spider mother," Tanjiro said.

Jiang Jiu then asked, "Can you smell Spider Brother's scent now?"

Tanjiro gave a wry smile: "Mr. Oni, with you and your sister here, the scent of the other demons is being masked by the two of you."

"Really?" Jiang Jiu turned to the pig-headed man and asked, "Inosuke, do you have a solution?"

“I’ll give it a try.” The pig-headed man assumed a fighting stance: “Beast Breathing, Seventh Form, Spatial Awareness.”

After about a minute, the pig-headed man shook his head: "No, it's not around here."

“Alright, let’s split up,” Jiang Jiu said. “You four will form a group, and I’ll go alone to search for his whereabouts.”

Tanjiro said, "That's good, but how do we notify the other group once we find it?"

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "Don't stray too far from each other."

Then he continued, "Zenitsu, you're the fastest. If your group finds Spider Brother first, notify me as quickly as possible."

"After you see him, do not act rashly, do not stand out, do not make a move, and wait until I arrive before taking any action."

"The power of the Twelve Demon Moons is beyond your current capabilities."

“Okay, Mr. Oni.” Tanjiro readily agreed.

And so, the five people split into two groups and searched for the trail of Lower Moon Five.

But after Jiang Jiugang left their sight, he secretly followed them.

He has two ideas.

First, as the main characters, their chances of finding Lower Moon Five before him are much higher.

Secondly, let's not even talk about Zenitsu and Nezuko; neither of them would take the initiative to make a move.

But the pig-headed man is a very stubborn guy, and Tanjiro, although calm, is also stubborn in some ways.
