RNP Chapter 79 Separation
Chapter 79 Separation
In mid-air above the forest, the bean was pulled tightly by the silk thread, shooting past at lightning speed like an arrow released from a bow.
She desperately tried to adjust her breathing, using the method of water breathing to reverse the direction of her body.
However, as she moved at high speed, her body kept breaking off intertwined branches, and each jolt caused her center of gravity to shake violently, making it impossible for her to maintain her balance.
She could only grip the Nichirin Blade in her right hand tightly, holding the blade outwards above her head, and forcefully withstand the oncoming branches to avoid hitting the thicker tree trunks.
With each collision, Mizuko felt herself getting further and further away from Zenitsu and her brother, and her heart tightened.
Oh no, we've been separated!
The thought flashed through her mind, and Ni Douzi knew she could no longer let the silk threads control her.
Her eyes narrowed, she abandoned the action of protecting her head, and suddenly turned the blade with her right hand to slash at the silk thread tied to her left wrist.
However, she underestimated the resilience of the silk thread, and the Nichirin Blade was actually deflected.
In the instant my pupils contracted sharply, a strong warning of danger suddenly came from behind me.
"call!"
Midouzi took a deep breath and then concentrated all her strength in her back.
"Bang—"
A dull thud rang out as Midouzi's back slammed solidly into a thick tree.
"Ahem!"
Although her sliding body came to a stop, the blow still caused Mizuko immense pain.
After a brief pause, Midouzi instantly gathered her strength, cut the silk thread on her left hand, and immediately jumped down from the tree.
The warning I just heard from behind wasn't just from the trees, but also from the dangerous aura of an evil spirit.
Holding her Nichirin Blade, Mizuko looked at the silent trees around her, a sense of danger making her wary.
Meanwhile, Inosuke and Tanjiro also heard Nezuko and Zenitsu's exclamations.
They had originally wanted to go back to help, but at this moment they were all frozen in place by a strong pressure.
They had to suppress their thoughts of rescuing people, staring intently at the direction behind them, and remaining vigilant against the enemy in front of them.
"Bang—bang—"
A series of heavy footsteps slowly rose behind them.
"Tanpachiro, this demon is mine!"
Holding his twin swords, Inosuke, completely unconcerned about the terrifying demon that was about to appear, arrogantly addressed Tanjiro.
"Okay, Inosuke, I'll help you!"
Tanjiro nodded and immediately replied, but his nose told him that this imposing demon was on par with Lower Moon Six.
"Who needs your help? You just need to be there..."
Before Inosuke could finish speaking, a demon over three meters tall with a face resembling a spider slowly emerged from the shadows of the trees.
The menacing spider's eyes darted around, thick saliva dripped from its mouth, and its body reeked of blood.
This caused Inosuke, who originally wanted to say something more, to swallow his words.
Tanjiro was also shocked by the size of the spider demon. He stared at the giant spider demon with his mouth slightly open, feeling fear.
"roar!!"
The spider demon raised its head and let out a deafening roar, causing the surrounding trees to shake violently and leaves to flutter down.
The next second, the spider demon suddenly arched its body and charged towards them like a cannonball, its thick limbs pounding the ground with a loud thud.
Tanjiro's pupils contracted sharply. Just as he was about to dodge to the side, he caught a glimpse of Inosuke with his arms hanging down, frozen in place, his gaze from under the boar's head mask fixed on the spider demon, as if he were terrified.
Just as the spider demon's claws were about to strike Inosuke, Tanjiro's heart tightened. Without thinking, he lunged forward and shoved Inosuke away.
"Bang—!"
A muffled thud rang out as the Spider Demon's shoulder armor slammed solidly into Tanjiro's chest.
Tanjiro flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing hard into a tree trunk. A metallic taste filled his throat, and blood instantly welled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Tanpachiro, are you alright?!"
Inosuke immediately snapped out of his daze and shouted loudly at Tanjiro, who was bleeding from his mouth.
The Spider Demon ignored Inosuke and instead stared intently at Tanjiro.
"I'm fine, Inosuke, my injury is nothing serious!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tanjiro's ribs, which had been broken by the Spider Demon, began to heal immediately.
Fortunately, Inosuke was pushed away in time; otherwise, if he had taken the hit, he would likely have been seriously injured.
Tanjiro secretly rejoiced, gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly with both hands, and stared warily at the spider demon in front of him, his mind full of doubts.
Why isn't this guy continuing to attack? Why is he just staring at me?
Just then, Inosuke pushed off the ground with both feet, leaping up like an arrow, raising his twin swords high above his head, and slashing fiercely down at the back of the Spider Demon.
"Bang!"
With a crisp crack, Inosuke's twin swords were forcefully deflected, leaving his hands numb from the impact.
He was utterly shocked; the blow he had just received felt as if he had struck a boulder.
Enraged by the attack, the Spider Demon swung his thick arm and slammed it down on Inosuke before Inosuke could even land.
Inosuke's pupils contracted sharply; seeing no way to escape, he was in a critical moment.
Tanjiro's figure suddenly appeared, his Nichirin Blade held horizontally in front of him, steadily catching the powerful punch.
Tanjiro felt a tremendous force travel along the blade, his arm went numb instantly, and the ground beneath his feet cracked with several fine lines.
The spider demon slammed its fist into the sword, its spider-like compound eyes fixed on Tanjiro, letting out a low growl.
Tanjiro gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, desperately resisting the overwhelming force, then roared:
"Blood Demon Art: Exploding Flame Blade!"
Crimson flames instantly engulfed the blade, and the scorching heat distorted the air itself.
Flames, carrying the blade, slashed down fiercely, severing the spider demon's arm in one fell swoop!
Taking advantage of the moment, Inosuke landed, and as soon as his heels touched the ground, he roared, "My turn!"
He lunged forward again, his twin blades flashing with cold light, and thrust them swiftly toward the spider demon's vital points.
"Beast Breathing - First Fang - Piercing Skin and Flesh!"
This strike was precise and ruthless, aimed directly at the spider demon's neck.
However, the spider demon's flesh remained as hard as steel. Even with Inosuke's best efforts, the blade only penetrated half an inch before being unable to advance any further.
Seeing this, Tanjiro was about to step in to help, but the Spider Demon's severed arm began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye, launching an even more ferocious attack on him once again.
He could only raise his Blazing Blade to parry hastily.
Just as Inosuke gritted his teeth, wanting to muster all his strength to push the blade in a little further and completely sever the head,
The spider demon's other thick arm, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, suddenly grabbed at his back!
"Inosuke, be careful!"
