Chapter 19 Changes
The crawling demon's head was stomped to one side, its turbid eyes struggling to move, just in time to meet Tanjiro's gaze.
It could be clearly seen that Tanjiro slowly grinned, revealing two sharp fangs.
That smile was full of excitement, full of the cruelty and mockery unique to evil spirits.
For some reason, Tanjiro at this moment did not have the same imposing physique as the monk demon, nor did he have the same frenzied aura.
But it felt that the boy in front of it, who exuded a chilling killing intent, was a thousand times more terrifying than the monk ghost.
It twisted its body desperately, trying to escape Tanjiro's fear.
But the more it twisted, the more force Tanjiro applied under his feet.
The pain made it roar out involuntarily.
Taking advantage of this moment, Mi Douzi quickly picked up the axe.
She understood that even if her brother succeeded in attacking again, the demon's abnormal regenerative ability was still there, and the current danger was not over.
However, when she picked up the axe and looked back, she froze on the spot.
Tanjiro's clear, excited, and cruel smile was fully visible to her.
It was a sight she had never seen before, so unfamiliar that it sent a shiver down her spine.
"Brother~?"
Mi Douzi's voice was full of anxiety.
There was only one thought in my mind.
Oh no, my brother seems to have completely lost control!
She was about to step forward, trying to use her voice to bring Tanjiro back to his senses.
But from the other side of the collapsed temple wall, a sound of rolling gravel suddenly came.
The monk ghost slowly crawled out of the ruins, and the place where his chest had collapsed was now bulging up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The broken bones were reassembled, and the wound healed instantly.
He recovered quickly, but the anger and violence in his eyes were several times more intense than before.
"Did I really underestimate you?"
As the smoke gradually dissipated, the monk demon emerged from the ruins, his crimson eyes fixed on Tanjiro, who was stepping over the crawling demon. His voice was cold yet filled with boundless rage.
Nezuko turned to look at the monk demon and immediately became alert, but still glanced at Tanjiro out of the corner of her eye with concern.
Why now of all times? No, I have to find a way to get my brother away from here. If this continues, he'll lose control!
Under the influence of her heightened senses, Nezuko noticed Tanjiro's emotional changes.
The original gentleness is gradually disappearing, replaced by cruelty.
After making up her mind, Midouzi began to quickly think of a solution.
However, Tanjiro raised his head and looked at the monk demon.
The cruel smile remained on his face, and saliva began to drip from his fangs.
His body slowly grew taller at that moment, and his red hair grew rapidly.
Tanjiro's body quickly reached the height of an adult.
His fiery red hair cascaded down his back, and the scar on his forehead had transformed into a ghostly pattern, forming a flame shape that occupied half of his forehead.
Its blood-red pupils were now filled with excitement as it stared intently at the monk ghost.
The monk demon was also startled by Tanjiro's change. [Hmm? What kind of anomaly is this?]
However, his hands soon transformed into sharp blades again, and he slowly lowered his body, locking onto Tanjiro like prey.
Nezuko observed the changes in both of them, as well as Tanjiro's.
Although she was anxious, she was still analyzing the current situation in her mind.
[Calm down, calm down, Nezuko, you can do it! Think carefully, there's definitely a way. Even though your brother has changed his appearance, he'll never forget me. Just focus your attention on these two ghosts.]
Midouzi gripped the axe handle tightly with both hands, watching the two men poised to attack, quickly considering the possibility of taking her brother away.
The crawling ghost is currently under my brother's foot, but it will definitely attack both of us as soon as he leaves. Meanwhile, the monk ghost's attention is on my brother; they'll probably start fighting soon. They have regenerative abilities. Mr. Giyu said we can't let my brother be exposed to the sun, which means the sun is equally effective against them.
Midouzi subconsciously looked up at the sky. The night was deep and the moonlight was cold. Her heart sank instantly.
[No, it's only been dark a short time; we can't hold out until dawn. Their regenerative abilities are strong, but they still need time. Perhaps… we should cut off their legs first, and while they regenerate, we can escape with my brother!]
Having made up her mind, Nezuko didn't hesitate any longer, grabbed her axe, and ran towards Tanjiro's direction.
It was this move of hers that completely broke the stalemate.
The monk demon and Tanjiro moved almost at the same instant, their movements as fast as lightning.
Tanjiro brushed past Nezuko and rushed toward the monk demon, while Nezuko went in the opposite direction, heading straight for the crawling demon that was being trampled on the ground.
In the instant they brushed past each other, Nezuko clearly felt the icy aura emanating from Tanjiro, devoid of any of his usual warmth.
Mi Douzi gripped the axe handle tighter, her heart filled with worry.
My brother's aura is so cold.
Despite her worries, she didn't pause for a moment, her eyes fixed on the dying but still twitching crawling ghost at her feet, silently reciting her plan.
First, cut off its limbs to completely incapacitate it, then go help my brother cripple the monk demon!
After temporarily setting aside her idea of waking Tanjiro, Nezuko raised her axe and chopped hard at the crawling demon's leg.
Meanwhile, Tanjiro has already clashed head-on with the monk demon.
Hehe~
With an excited yet cruel smile on his face, Tanjiro swung his fist and slammed it hard into the head of the monk demon.
The monk demon was prepared and immediately raised his hand and swiftly slashed at Tanjiro's arms.
"Pfft."
Tanjiro's hands were severed again, and blood splattered several inches.
The monk-ghost immediately revealed a smug and cruel smile, and grinned menacingly.
"You're finished!"
But the next second, his smile froze on his face, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he was filled with disbelief.
"What?!"
Tanjiro's excitement remained undiminished, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of complete arms regenerated from the wounds of his severed arms.
Immediately afterward, Tanjiro gripped the wrist of the monk demon who was wielding his sword so tightly that he almost crushed his bones.
[How is this possible! What kind of regeneration speed is this?! What kind of monster is he?!]
The monk was terrified and tried to pull his hand back, but he couldn't move it at all.
In the instant he was shocked and stunned, Tanjiro suddenly grinned wickedly and tilted his head back, his neck slightly tense, as if he was gathering strength.
The next second, he exerted his strength and pulled the monk ghost in front of him. A powerful headbutt came down instantly and slammed into the monk ghost's bald head!
"Bang!"
