Chapter 663: Couple vs. Couple!
Chapter 663: Couple vs. Couple!
The Amplified Oni, who had narrowly escaped death, felt a burning sensation on his neck. He reached for the wound, and upon seeing the blood on his hand, his face paled with lingering fear.
He didn't know what had happened to the little demon in front of him, but one thing was clear—he had almost been finished off!
Another person who was equally surprised was Koushou, who was hiding in the shadows and had just witnessed the scene.
His sharp eyes turned to his friend beside him, and he said, "Could this be...?"
"Yes, although it's different from my 'Spirit Sight,' Tanjiro must have seen through the weak point on the man-eating demon just now.
This should be an embryonic form of the Transparent World. But in any case, his potential and possibilities have finally been pushed to the limit."
Hearing Yocheng's words, Koushou was speechless. So, this is what a 'genius' is all about?
Koushou couldn't help but wonder if Yocheng's strength came from regularly practicing this technique.
The Amplified Oni, who had just narrowly escaped death, looked at Tanjiro, who was barely standing due to the power of the Sword Pillar. He dared not launch another reckless attack.
After all, Tanjiro had appeared to be on the verge of death, but he had almost killed the Oni with a swift counterattack.
These Demon Slayers were as cunning as demons. Who knew if their apparent weakness was just a ploy to lure him into a false sense of security?
The Amplified Oni, Tetsuzan, had no intention of falling into the same trap twice.
If the Demon Slayer was truly on the brink of death, even without his intervention, the Oni would soon perish. So, he could afford to play it safe for now.
When the Amplified Oni didn't continue his attack, Tanjiro, whose consciousness was fading, was taken aback.
However, he was well aware that to break free from his current predicament, he had to slay one of the two man-eating demons, giving Kanaho a chance to escape.
The Amplified Oni before him had high defense and blood-based abilities, and in his current state, with the demon already on guard against him, slaying it would not be an easy task.
Compared to the "Weakness Line" on the Amplified Oni, the "Weakness Line" on the Rock Oni seemed more prominent.
With his mind already blurry, Tanjiro quickly made a decision and raised his long sword once more.
"Water Breath Technique - Type III - Flowing Dance!"
As Tanjiro's body moved like a swift stream, the Amplified Oni hastily thickened his defense, causing his muscles and fat to swell, protecting his weak point.
He had made up his mind; Tanjiro's life was like a flickering candle in the wind. He didn't need to fight to the death; he just had to wear the demon down.
However, the Amplified Oni, who had strengthened his defense, didn't anticipate that Tanjiro, transformed into a stream of water, was not targeting him but was heading straight for the Rock Oni beside him.
At first, the Amplified Oni thought Tanjiro was trying to escape, but when he realized the direction of Tanjiro's charge, he was shocked and shouted, "Muzuki, run! This guy is after you!"
Indeed, upon realizing the difficulty of defeating the Amplified Oni, Tanjiro immediately shifted his focus and charged towards the Rock Oni, the demon's wife.
The Rock Oni was currently occupied with her Blood Demon Technique, keeping Kanaho at bay. If Tanjiro attacked, even if he couldn't slay the demon outright, it would at least provide an opportunity for Kanaho to break free.
Seeing Tanjiro rushing towards his wife, the Amplified Demon was seething with rage, desperate to rush to his wife's aid. But soon, the weakness of his Blood Demon Technique became apparent.
The enlarged body did increase his attack power, destructive force, and defense, but it also made his movements extremely slow.
Not only was Tanjiro using the Triple Flow Dance of the Third Form, but even at his normal running speed, the Amplified Demon might not have been able to keep up.
By the time the Rock Oni realized it, Tanjiro's blade was rapidly growing larger in her field of vision.
"Water Breath - Dual Rotation!"
As his body flipped in the air, the circular slash instantly cut the Rock Oni's body in half, like slicing through a watermelon.
After completing this move, Tanjiro was completely exhausted, and his body fell from the air.
Just as his body was about to hit the ground, a fragrant breeze swept by, and the unconscious Tanjiro was caught by another figure.
It was none other than Kanoe, who had been freed from the Rock Oni's grasp.
"I'll kill you two, you dog couple!"
Seeing his wife's body split in half by the long sword and turning to ash, the Amplified Demon was consumed by rage and charged towards Kanoe and Tanjiro.
The boy who had nearly killed him was now unconscious, so if he could just take care of the girl in front of him, he could get his revenge!
As the Amplified Demon rushed towards them, Kanoe placed Tanjiro on the ground and tightly gripped her long sword, unleashing rapid multi-segment strikes!
"Flower Breath - Unfruitful Peonies!"
Nine consecutive strikes from all directions pierced a single point, like the petals of a peony.
In that moment, as Kanoe's attack enveloped the Amplified Demon, he finally snapped out of his anger, sensing the threat of death.
In his extreme anger, he seemed to have forgotten that this girl was far stronger than the boy.
The reason they could hold their own against him was that his wife had been using her Blood Demon Technique to control the rock wall to help him defend, but now...
The concentrated multi-segment attacks pierced through his defenses, even as the Amplified Demon tried to inflate his muscles and fat with his Blood Demon Technique, it was to no avail.
Large chunks of flesh were easily torn apart, and his head flew off, revealing the still-expressionless Kanoe and the unconscious Tanjiro.
"Never mind, Muzuki is already dead. I never realized that it was she who had been protecting me all along, not the other way around..."
The Amplified Demon's massive body fell to the spot where the Rock Oni had disappeared, and it too turned to ash before their eyes.
Although they had committed many evil deeds and killed countless people, the bond between them was genuine.
The boy and girl who had protected each other might one day have a similar relationship.
Thinking about it, perhaps it was better for them to die at the hands of these two than to have fallen to the white-haired swordsman, a monster of strength.
