"Bullying the weak scum! It's really unpleasant!"
At this time, a handsome young man with a ring on his back, five thunder god drums on the ring, and the character hatred written on the drum surfaces of the five thunder god drums, was standing next to the wooden dragon.
This young man was the demon who had just launched a sneak attack on Tanjiro and had his head blown off by Genya Shinazugawa with a single shot. At the same time, he struck the thunder god drums on the ring and summoned the wooden dragon.
The handsome young man's posture, coupled with the ring on his back, really gave off a bit of a heavenly god feeling.
Tanjiro heard the voice and looked over at the handsome young man. Judging from his aura, he was undoubtedly a demon.
"There's a sixth demon!?" However, his appearance made Tanjiro a little confused. This demon had never appeared before.
"Don't be careless, Tanjiro! This guy is a composite of those four demons! He might be very strong!" At this time, Genya Shinazugawa's shout came over.
Hearing this, Tanjiro understood. No wonder the auras of the four demons of Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure were gone. It turned out that they had been combined into a completely new individual.
This completely new individual, composed of the four demons of Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure, was Hantengu's strongest clone form. Although the number of clones had been reduced from four to one, the strength was naturally only stronger, not weaker, because it was a complete form of the four clones of Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure combined.
This demon, who was a combination of Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure, represented the side of Hantengu's hatred. This strongest clone, who represented hatred, had also given himself a separate name - Zohakuten.
Zohakuten would appear when the main body felt that his life was threatened and let out a very strong scream for survival. This was why Hantengu's main body had let out such a piercing scream when Tanjiro was cutting Hantengu's main body's neck. This was because Hantengu's main body felt a threat from Tanjiro's attack.
In other words, if you couldn't cut off Hantengu's main body's neck in the first moment, it would make Hantengu's main body feel threatened. Once Hantengu felt uneasy, he would summon his strongest clone, Zohakuten.
The more uneasy the main body was, the more Zohakuten's strength would increase with the intensity of the main body's unease.
At this time, Hantengu's small main body was standing at Zohakuten's feet. At this time, he hadn't recovered from the unease he had felt earlier.
Then, as Zohakuten struck the drums connected to the ring on his back again, Hantengu's main body was dragged up by the dense and twisted branches that broke out of the ground. In the end, he was tightly wrapped in a cavity formed by those branches. It seemed that Zohakuten intended to protect the main body.
Tanjiro looked at the main body being wrapped in a circular cavity formed by twisted branches and shouted in his heart, "Wait!"
Tanjiro's "wait" seemed to be that he didn't want the main body to be protected like this.
However, Zohakuten completely ignored Tanjiro and looked at Tanjiro. A strong killing intent burst out in his eyes at once.
Tanjiro was rarely intimidated by this gaze. But what made Tanjiro unable to bear it wasn't entirely the gaze, but the pressure brought by Zohakuten's aura at this time.
"Could this be the true strength of this Upper Moon demon?" Tanjiro muttered in his heart.
