Giyu Tomioka ignored Akaza's attempt to strike up a conversation. Seeing that Flowing Dance was not effective against Akaza, Giyu Tomioka stopped using the move.
Just as Giyu Tomioka stopped using the move, Akaza instantly seized this brief opening and proactively launched an attack on Giyu Tomioka.
"Disorder!"
Faced with Akaza's Disorder, a dense barrage of random punches, it was impossible to cope with the ten forms of Water Breathing. If it were Ryuji, he would use Water Breathing, First Form Modified, Water Surface Slash Chain to deal with it.
However, Giyu Tomioka didn't know Water Surface Slash Chain, so he could only rely on his own original move.
"Water Breathing, Eleventh Form, Dead Calm!"
As soon as this move was used, Akaza's attacks strangely missed Giyu Tomioka. Not a single punch landed on Giyu Tomioka's body.
This situation also surprised Akaza very much, so he excitedly asked, "I've never seen this move before! The Water Pillars I've met before didn't use it!"
As soon as the words fell, while Akaza was dealing with Giyu Tomioka, Tanjiro seized this opportunity, approached from behind Akaza, and then leaped up and swung his sword to attack Akaza's neck.
"Hinokami Kagura, Setting Sun Transformation!"
Just as Tanjiro's attack was launched, Akaza's figure suddenly disappeared, which made Tanjiro a little at a loss. But through the perception of aura, Akaza's aura had not disappeared.
"Where did he go? Behind!"
Tanjiro immediately felt that something was wrong. Akaza, who had unknowingly and silently circled behind Tanjiro, was already striking Tanjiro's neck with a chop.
Although Akaza's palm wasn't sharp, as long as the force was strong enough, it could definitely remove Tanjiro's head.
"Water Breathing, Second Form, Water Wheel!"
Just as Tanjiro was about to die at any moment, Giyu Tomioka used Water Wheel to cut off Akaza's arm that was attacking Tanjiro.
The severed arm, due to the attack, not only unloaded the force, but also deviated from its original attack trajectory, falling down from Tanjiro's face.
Tanjiro immediately seized this opportunity and turned around to prepare to counterattack.
"Hinokami Kagura"
Before Tanjiro could turn around and launch an attack, Akaza's attack had already hit Tanjiro, who was turning around.
"Compass Needle!"
Akaza was seen kicking towards Tanjiro's chin with a high kick. If he was hit head-on, Tanjiro's chin would definitely be ruined. In severe cases, perhaps half of his face would be gone.
It was also because of Akaza's preemptive attack that Tanjiro couldn't launch his own attack. If Tanjiro forcibly launched his own attack, then he would definitely have to take Akaza's kick head-on.
Out of combat instinct, Tanjiro gave up the attack and chose to dodge.
At such a close distance, it was impossible to dodge completely. Tanjiro was still kicked high into the air by Akaza's high kick.
Akaza's kick didn't completely hit Tanjiro, but only kicked off a layer of flesh from Tanjiro's chin.
Immediately, blood kept flowing from Tanjiro's chin.
Finally, Tanjiro fell heavily back to the ground.
Then, in order to give Tanjiro time to buffer, Giyu Tomioka once again wrestled with Akaza.
