Demon Slayer: Tanjiro becomes a ghost, Nezuko becomes a pillar!

Chapter 56 Lower Moon Six and Lower Moon Four

Upon receiving Tanjiro's reply, Tamayo was suddenly stunned, and her usually calm eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.

She stared intently at Tanjiro, as if she saw a ray of light in him, a possibility that seemed almost impossible.

"Ms. Tamayo, then... then can my brother turn back into a human?"

Midouzi asked anxiously, for this was the answer she had been longing for all along.

Tanjiro immediately looked at Tamayo, his body involuntarily leaning forward with excitement, his blood-red eyes filled with anticipation.

But the next second, Yushiro's fingers rained down on Tanjiro's body, the force neither too light nor too heavy, but full of vigilance.

"Don't get too close to Miss Tamayo!"

"Ahhhhh! I understand!"

Tanjiro was poked so hard that he stumbled backward, his back slamming heavily against the chair back. A look of grievance appeared on his face as he obediently sat back, not daring to move forward even a fraction of an inch.

"Yushiro, you can't use violence." Tamayo's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"Yes, Miss Tamayo!"

Yushiro immediately withdrew his hand, but still glared at Tanjiro warily, as if only...

Seeing this, Nizuko felt sorry for Tanjiro and quickly reached out to support his arm. She turned and glared at Yushiro, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Tamayo sighed softly, her gaze falling on the expectant brother and sister, her tone calm yet tinged with regret.

"I'm sorry... From ancient times to the present, there has never been a single demon that has been able to break free from Muzan's curse and become human again."

Upon receiving this result, Nezuko's expression gradually darkened, and Tanjiro had not expected this outcome either.

However, Tanjiro soon smiled, patted Nezuko's head, and comforted his somewhat dejected sister.

Seeing this, Tamayo changed the subject.

"However, I see the possibility of your brother turning back into a human!"

Mizuko instantly raised her head, her previously dim eyes fading as if she had grasped a lifeline, and looked at Tamayo.

Tanjiro's hand also froze, and he turned to look at Tamayo, waiting for her to continue.

Yushiro looked at Tamayo with surprise, and couldn't help but wonder to himself.

Is it really possible to do something like this?

However, just as Tamayo opened her mouth, wanting to continue speaking...

"BOOM—!!!"

A deafening roar came from outside, and the entire secret room trembled violently.

Outside, a demon with the characters for Lower Moon Six and Lower Moon Four carved in its eyes is attacking the house.

"That idiot Lower Moon Two, the last direction he sent to Lord Muzan was this place?"

Xia Xian Si sneered, his tone full of disdain, and then he raised his hand and delivered another powerful punch to the wall.

The next second, upon touching the exterior wall of the house, it was bounced off by a transparent barrier, and the attack missed its target instantly.

"Blood Demon Arts? Looks like there are other demons here! Be careful, even Lower Moon Two died at the hands of that brat!"

Lower Moon Sixth looked at the dark house in front of him with a hoarse voice. It was obvious that the true appearance of the house had been changed by the Blood Demon Art that could conceal it.

"That piece of trash was eliminated very early on, so it's no surprise he's dead!"

As Lower Moon Four spoke, he activated his Blood Demon Art.

"Blood Demon Art: Wind-Breaking Fist"

He threw a powerful punch, and a black wind carrying rubble and dust formed a cannon that crashed into the barrier of the house.

"boom--"

The Blood Demon Art belonging to Yushiro began to show cracks.

Inside the secret chamber, Tamayo immediately looked at Yushiro, who understood immediately and closed his eyes, using his Blood Demon Art to see what was happening outside.

The next second, he opened his eyes wide in horror and immediately said.

"They are the Lower Moon 4 and Lower Moon 6 of the Twelve Demon Moons!"

When Nezuko and Tanjiro heard this, they were slightly taken aback, and then they remembered what Lower Moon Two, whom they had killed, had said.

"They were sent by Muzan!!!"

Tanjiro gritted his teeth and looked at the wall. The words Lower Moon Two had said when he grabbed him immediately came to mind.

Nezuko, her eyes filled with anger, handed the Nichirin Blade to Tanjiro.

"Miss Tamayo, Mr. Yushiro, you two hide first, leave this place to us!"

"Miss Nezuko, to turn Tanjiro back into a human, we need the blood of the Twelve Demon Moons! Their blood is the closest to Muzan's!"

Just as Nezuko and Tanjiro were about to turn around and go out to fight, Tamayo suddenly spoke up, her voice urgent.

Nezuko and Tanjiro stopped in their tracks, about to turn around and ask for more details.

A sharp "sizzle" sound.

A hole about the size of a thumb suddenly appeared in the wall.

Immediately, a hoarse, low shout pierced through the wall, carrying a strong smell of blood, and exploded in the secret room.

"Blood Demon Art: Blood Drill Stream!"

Before he finished speaking, countless thin, hair-like lines of bright red blood shot out from the drill hole.

Like venomous snakes with life, they shot towards the people in the secret room with a sharp whooshing sound.

Yushiro was focused on manipulating the barrier and had no time to dodge. Several lines of blood struck his shoulder, instantly cutting his skin with fine gashes. He groaned in pain, and the barrier he was controlling shook violently.

Tanjiro reacted extremely quickly, instinctively turning to the side to block, but the blood streaks were moving too fast, and several still grazed his arm, leaving burning wounds. His demon-transformed skin even felt a stinging pain.

Yushiro groaned, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead, and the power he had been using to control the Blood Demon Art barrier suddenly dissipated.

The transparent shield, which had been barely holding on, suddenly cracked open with a huge gap.

"Oh no! Miss Tamayo, run!"

However, the words had barely left his mouth.

With a loud "boom", the entire wall collapsed.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Lower Moon Lu stood hunched over at the breach, a ferocious grin spreading across his face.

His fingertips were still stained with dark red blood, the residue from the Blood Demon Art he had just used.

Tanjiro's arm wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But the piercing pain lingered, instead spreading through his bloodstream, causing a tingling sensation in his limbs.

He suddenly looked up at Xia Xianlu, his blood-red eyes filled with surprise.

"This blood... is poisonous!"

Yushiro also felt a numbness in his body, gritted his teeth, and stood in front of Tamayo.

"Hehehe... You've fallen for it, haven't you?"

Lower Moon Lu laughed hoarsely, his voice full of smugness, "My Blood Drill is poisonous, you... can't escape!"
