The slashes surged forward, completely flooding the space ahead. The ground itself was torn apart, carved into crisscrossing trenches as a terrifying killing intent filled the air.
Even Akaza could feel it—that chilling, bone-deep aura of death.
He was certain that there was no way Xia Feng could defend against him while also neutralizing Kokushibo's attack.
This time—
Xia Feng was definitely going to die!
The thought thrilled him. After all, the opponent he was about to kill was far stronger than himself.
That kind of exhilaration… he relished it.
Unfortunately—
Wind Scar!!
A fierce counter-slash erupted, intercepting the incoming attacks from behind Xia Feng. While it couldn't completely block the overwhelming barrage, it was enough to neutralize the strikes directly threatening him.
And even now—
Xia Feng didn't look back.
His full attention remained on Akaza, calmly evading every punch and kick.
Fighting one against two—
And not falling behind in the slightest.
Even Muzan Kibutsuji, watching from the side, was shocked.
He knew Kokushibo's strength better than anyone.
A user of Moon Breathing… once a powerful member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Even against the current Hashira, he could handle three or four at once.
He was the strongest of the Upper Moons.
And yet—
Even with Kokushibo and Akaza working together, they couldn't kill Xia Feng?
If that were truly the case, then perhaps it was time to replace the entire Upper Moon lineup.
The mere fact that two Upper Moons had to join forces against a single Demon Slayer already felt like a humiliation.
Such a thing had never happened before.
In the past, Demon Slayers were slaughtered in large numbers.
Even the Hashira could only deal with ordinary Demons or perhaps Lower Moons—they could never threaten his position.
But now—
Xia Feng had already killed Upper Moons.
And was now holding his ground against two at once.
This was unprecedented.
"Damn it!! Hantengu!! You get in there too!!"
Muzan roared in frustration.
Nakime plucked her biwa.
In the next moment, Hantengu appeared in Xia Feng's room.
When Hantengu's life was threatened, his emotions would manifest into separate forms.
But that only happened if his body was split apart.
And that—
Was something he absolutely did not want Xia Feng to do.
He knew Xia Feng's ability.
Once injured by him, a Demon couldn't regenerate.
If Xia Feng split him in two—
It wouldn't be emotional manifestation.
It would be death.
So—
Hantengu drew a blade himself.
And without hesitation—
He disemboweled himself.
Again.
And again.
Splitting his body apart—
Until five clones emerged.
His true body, meanwhile, hid itself away.
Xia Feng grinned, his gaze locking onto the winged figure first.
That was Urogi—the "Joy" clone.
Urogi opened his mouth wide—
A powerful sonic attack burst forth toward Xia Feng.
At the same time, the other clones attacked as well.
Karaku swung his fan, unleashing violent gusts of wind.
Sekido thrust his staff forward, lightning crackling from it—powerful enough to incapacitate instantly.
Kokushibo and Akaza attacked simultaneously.
In an instant—
Six Demons moved against Xia Feng at once.
Just the opening clash alone shattered the entire room.
Doors, windows—
All reduced to fragments.
Yet Xia Feng only smiled calmly.
His feet struck the ground in rapid succession, his movements accelerating as he broke free from the encirclement.
Through the wreckage, he dashed out of the room—
And immediately charged toward Muzan.
He had no intention of wasting time fighting these Upper Moons.
As long as Muzan Kibutsuji died—
All of them would vanish.
His Nichirin Blade flashed, cutting through anything in his path.
Even thick walls were cleaved apart with ease.
Xia Feng moved at incredible speed.
Six Demons chased behind him—
But only Kokushibo and Akaza could gradually close the distance.
As for Hantengu's clones—
Even the winged one couldn't match Xia Feng's speed.
"How is this possible?!"
Urogi roared in anger.
"Our bodies have already surpassed human limits—that's why we're this fast! So how is he even faster than us?!"
He had always taken pride in his speed—
Yet now, he was witnessing a human outpace him completely.
It was unbearable.
Meanwhile, Xia Feng paid no attention to the enemies behind him.
He knew he had already created a safe enough distance.
Even if Kokushibo wanted to kill him, it would take time to catch up.
And that time—
Was all he needed to reach Nakime.
"Still… Nakime's Blood Demon Art is too troublesome."
Xia Feng's gaze sharpened.
"If I can't kill her before she activates it again, I'll just be sent somewhere else… maybe even farther away."
He didn't know whether the Infinity Castle had distance limits—
But dragging this into a prolonged battle was absolutely not an option.
So—
He needed a way to stop Nakime from using her Blood Demon Art.
"A long-range attack…"
Until now, Muzan believed Xia Feng was limited to close combat.
But he didn't know—
Xia Feng also had support-type abilities.
So this time—
It had to be a decisive strike.
Xia Feng's eyes hardened with resolve.
He tightened his grip on his Nichirin Blade—
And extended his other hand.
Boom!!
With a single slash, he shattered a window—
And leapt upward.
Muzan and Nakime were directly above him.
A smile spread across Xia Feng's face.
Meanwhile—
Muzan's expression turned pale.
No matter how he thought about it—
He couldn't understand how Xia Feng had escaped from so many Upper Moons.
That level of force was enough to assault the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps!
Muzan grabbed Nakime's shoulder tightly.
She understood his intent immediately—
Her fingers moved to pluck the strings, preparing to shift space once more and send Xia Feng far away.
But suddenly—
Nakime's expression changed.
For the first time, her usually emotionless face showed disturbance.
Muzan's anger flared. "Nakime—what are you doing?!"
But even he knew—
She wouldn't make mistakes without reason.
Which meant—
Xia Feng had done something.
