Demon Slayer: Tanjiro becomes a ghost, Nezuko becomes a pillar!

Chapter 89 Fierce Battle

Behind the tree, Nezuko and Tanjiro were both taken aback and exchanged a puzzled look.

They saw confusion in each other's eyes, unable to fathom what this Lower Moon Five was up to.

Before the two could respond, the sound of exhaustion came again.

"I would like to ask you to be my older brothers and sisters. From now on, we are a family and will always be together."

Upon hearing this, the brother and sister behind the tree were stunned again, their eyes filled with even more doubt.

He added calmly, though his tone was tired, but it concealed an irresistible condition.

"But that girl must become a demon. Only then can I go to Lord Muzan to protect you, so that you can live in peace and no longer have to hide from Lord Muzan's orders to kill you."

Nezuko and Tanjiro remained silent.

The moment the word "Muzan" entered their ears, the brother and sister's aura suddenly turned cold, and their eyes instantly ignited with boundless rage.

Lei was completely oblivious to the anger of the two men, focusing only on throwing out his own chips with a seductive tone.

"Accept it, it's the best choice. If you don't agree, not only me, but other Lower Moons and even Upper Moons will attack you in the future. Lord Muzan's orders never fail. As long as you are willing to be my family, I can protect you, and no one will dare to touch you."

These words ignited the anger of the brother and sister. Nezuko and Tanjiro exchanged a determined look and stepped out from behind the tree together.

The two men stood upright, their bodies radiating a fierce fighting spirit, their eyes filled with angry resolve, and they refused in unison.

"impossible!"

Tanjiro gripped his Blazing Sun Blade tightly, sparks flickering from its blazing flames, and roared angrily.

"We will never be your family, and we will never let Nezuko become a demon! I will avenge Muzan sooner or later!"

Nezuko also gripped her Nichirin Blade tightly, her gaze fixed on Rui, her tone icy.

"I will kill Muzan, and I will protect many more people from demons. I will never accept your proposal!"

The gentleness on Lei's face vanished instantly, replaced by a dark cloud over his bloodshot eyes, and his tone turned cold.

"Why? All I want is a real bond. You can give me that, so why refuse?"

"What you want isn't bondage, it's confinement!"

Tanjiro retorted sharply.

"Family members are never something you can force, much less obtain through threats or attempts to reform you. You simply don't understand family ties!"

"I don't understand?"

Lei was completely enraged, and the pressure emanating from his body suddenly surged.

All I want is a family like yours, where you protect each other! If you won't accept that, then don't blame me for using force!

The argument erupted instantly, a fierce atmosphere surged through the forest, and the air around Lei trembled. A cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"You didn't actually think that what we just fought was my Blood Demon Art, did you?"

Before he finished speaking, Lei suddenly raised his hand, and all the threads at his fingertips surged, the pitch-black threads gleaming with a chilling light. A gale suddenly rose in the forest, and an oppressive feeling instantly crushed over him!

"Blood Demon Art: Engraved Line Prison!"

Countless threads surged in from all directions like a tide, their density and hardness far exceeding those before.

Tanjiro's pupils contracted sharply; he could clearly smell that each thread was harder than before.

All around were silk threads, blocking all directions for dodging in all directions, even the top of my head was covered by silk threads.

This isn't a net at all; it's an airtight cage!

Tanjiro had no time to think. A burst of flame erupted from his body, and the scorching flames spread along the blade.

"Blood Demon Art: Blazing Blade!"

"I must clear a path; Nezuko cannot be harmed!" Tanjiro responded to the threads and stood in front of Nezuko.

Flames enveloped the blade as it slashed fiercely, and the sizzling sound of the blade hitting the silk threads was extremely piercing.

But those silk threads were only charred black, without breaking. Instead, they wrapped around the blade with incredible resilience!

Tanjiro swung his sword with a powerful wrist thrust, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of several strands of silk thread heading straight for Nezuko, and his heart tightened suddenly.

"Water Breathing - Fourth Form - Tide Rising!"

Midouzi also saw the threads coming towards him, and immediately swung his sword, the azure water waves wrapping around the blade as he slashed at the threads in front of him.

But the moment the blade struck the silk thread, Midouzi felt an extremely strong force rebound back, her hand went numb, and the silk thread was only slightly cut.

The next second, these threads were wrapped around the blade!

Seeing that Tanjiro had also shielded her from all the threads, Nezuko immediately turned her gaze towards Rui's direction.

Lei stood in the center of the silk threads, his expression terrifyingly cold. With a flick of his fingertips, he manipulated the silk threads, changing their movements, sometimes tightening and encircling them, sometimes transforming them into sharp blades for a surprise attack. The speed of the silk threads increased faster and faster.

Midouzi also knew that it was time to cooperate with her brother.

Just as she was about to concentrate on breathing, the tightness in her chest grew heavier and heavier, her breathing became completely disordered, and her sword-wielding speed slowed down by half a beat!

At that moment, a thread bypassed Tanjiro and headed straight for Nezuko.

"Beans!"

Tanjiro also smelled a thread wrapping around him and immediately shouted behind him.

Upon hearing Tanjiro's voice, Nezuko suppressed her breathing difficulties and immediately blocked the attack.

Just as Mi Douzi raised his hand to block the silk thread coming from the front, he didn't use enough force. The blade hit the silk thread as soon as it touched it, and he was hit hard by the silk thread.

With a crisp "crack", the Nichirin Blade in Nezuko's hand was actually cut in half!

The moment the broken blade flew out, Mizuko froze, leaving only the bare hilt in her hand.

Ahead, the extremely thin thread was heading straight for Mi Douzi's forehead.

Tanjiro caught a glimpse of Nezuko's sword being cut in half out of the corner of his eye, and his body stiffened!

But when Tanjiro saw that thread heading straight for Nezuko's head, only one thought came to his mind.

We absolutely must not let Midouzi get hurt!

Tanjiro didn't even have time to think before he lunged forward, shielding Nezuko behind him.

A dense, stinging pain shot through his back as countless threads pierced through Tanjiro's demonic body.

This was the full force of the exhausted silk threads, each one drilling into the flesh.

The demon's self-healing ability was too slow to take effect under such dense cutting; the wounds were just about to heal when they were cut open again by the threads.

During this time, Nezuko stared blankly at Tanjiro, who was protecting her beneath her, her senses filled with the sound of threads cutting through her brother's flesh.

With a sudden burst of force from his fingertips, the silk thread tightened instantly and then shot upwards sharply!

The threads that were wrapped around Tanjiro's body instantly bound him up and suspended him in mid-air.

Midouzi watched as her brother was suspended in the air by silk threads, his back a bloody mess, blood dripping down the threads.

Her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly in a large hand, making her breath catch in her throat.

The broken half of the Nichirin Blade in her hand slowly fell to the ground, and in that instant, she felt powerless.

"Brother...brother..."
