Tanjiro had seen many demons with strange appearances, but this was the first time he had encountered a demon with a body as small as a mouse.
However, Tanjiro thought that for Upper Moon demons, the size of their bodies should be something they could change!
Perhaps this main body had deliberately made himself so small in order to hide better.
"Stop! Why are you running? You're an Upper Moon demon! We're enemies! Shouldn't you want to kill me? Are you going to disobey Muzan Kibutsuji's orders?"
Tanjiro also felt that Hantengu's main body didn't seem to have any intention of attacking him. Instead, he was only concerned with running away. This abnormal situation made Tanjiro a little confused. Tanjiro had never thought that there would be such a timid existence among the Upper Moon demons.
If those four clones represented four emotions, did the main body also represent a certain aspect of human nature?
Thinking about it, Tanjiro felt that it was very possible.
Tanjiro's words didn't get any response from Hantengu's main body. This made Tanjiro even more certain of his hypothesis that the main body wasn't aggressive.
In that case, he shouldn't be in any danger.
However, Tanjiro soon discovered that Hantengu's main body was too low to the ground, and it was difficult for his blade to cut his neck.
After thinking about it, Tanjiro chose a more suitable move from among the many breathing moves - [Hinokami Kagura: Clear Blue Sky]
This [Clear Blue Sky] was a move that started from the bottom up. When he was on the Infinity Train, Tanjiro used this move to deal with Lower Moon One, who had merged with the train.
However, the attack angle of [Clear Blue Sky] was perpendicular to the ground, while Hantengu's main body was standing, not lying down. So, Tanjiro had to change the angle of his sword strike slightly in order to attack Hantengu's main body just right.
After quickly calculating everything in his mind, Tanjiro immediately used [Water Breathing, Third Form, Flowing Dance] to close the distance with Hantengu's main body.
Immediately, he changed his breathing and used [Hinokami Kagura: Clear Blue Sky].
Tanjiro was seen holding Ryuji's demon-slaying sword firmly with both hands and swinging it in an arc that moved from bottom to top.
The complete attack trajectory of [Hinokami Kagura: Clear Blue Sky] was a full moon arc. However, this time, the arc-shaped slash with purple flames didn't swing out a complete arc. Instead, it suddenly stopped when it had drawn half of the arc.
The result wasn't that Tanjiro had stopped attacking, but that the blade of the demon-slaying sword had stopped after touching Hantengu's neck.
"It's so hard!"
Tanjiro couldn't help but be surprised in his heart. At the same time, he was afraid that he would damage Ryuji's demon-slaying sword if he forcibly added more force. His arm couldn't help but stiffen.
But in fact, Tanjiro's worry was completely unnecessary. Ryuji's demon-slaying sword wasn't some ordinary stuff. There was no need to worry about the problem of damage at all.
The Hantengu's main body, who had been hit in the neck, also stood still and let out a piercing scream. It seemed that he had been frightened by Tanjiro's attack. This situation was different from Genya Shinazugawa's situation at that time.
"Am I underestimating the power of Ryuji-san's demon-slaying sword too much? Ryuji-san has never worried that the demon-slaying sword would be damaged by himself!" Tanjiro endured the piercing scream and considered in his heart whether he should stop here.
