Chapter 458: Duobao's Hawking (Part 2)
"Retreat!"
Just when the situation was good and the demon siblings were about to be beheaded, the Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen seemed to sense something, and immediately roared, grabbed Tanjiro's collar and withdrew from the battle.
The three wives of the Sound Pillar received the signal from the Sound Pillar, and also called Nezuko and the other two to retreat to the side of the Sound Pillar.
And at this moment, a strange jade pot appeared out of thin air in the center of the battlefield.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Jifu Taro brother and sister, I haven't seen you for ninety years, it seems that your strength has not improved as much as I thought."
A humanoid creature with two mouths instead of eyes and seven or eight pairs of baby arms emerged from the pot, and the mark of the Upper String Five was engraved on its forehead and tongue.
At the same time, on the roof next to the battlefield, there was an old man with a tumor and two horns on his head, trembling all over and looking scared, and his eyes were engraved with the Upper String Four.
"It's not ninety years, it's one hundred and thirteen years."
"Yuhu, Hantengu, why are you here? We can complete Master Muzan's mission and kill the little ghost with earrings without your help!"
When Daki saw the people coming, she was not happy but anxious.
Because he knew that even if he was the Upper Six, if he couldn't complete Muzan's mission, he would die.
So even if the current battle was at a disadvantage, she didn't want the mission to be destroyed.
"Don't worry, the mission has changed. Our target this time is her!"
Yuhu turned and pointed at Nezuko standing next to Tanjiro.
"Capture her alive and kill everyone else. This is the new order from Master.
Master is on his way. He said that if we haven't completed the mission before he arrives, he will have to do it himself. Then there is no need for us incompetent people to exist."
Just now, Muzan Muzan got the news that Nezuko had actually gotten rid of the restrictions of the sun, so he immediately issued an order to capture Nezuko.
Because as long as he eats Nezuko, he can get rid of the control of the sun, get rid of his only flaw, and become the most perfect creature.
"It's terrible. I don't want to be killed by Lord Muzan."
The Upper String Four Hantengu on the roof seemed to be very timid and felt like he was about to pee.
And here, after hearing what Yuhu said, Jifu Taro and Daki also showed fear in their eyes.
"Then complete the task before Lord Muzan comes!"
The four upper strings of the demons launched an attack at the same time.
"Upper String Four and Upper String Five, this is troublesome."
The Sound Pillar looked at the two new stronger demons and couldn't help but take a breath.
They did have Senzu beans in their hands, which could save their lives and restore their bodies in danger, but there was also a prerequisite, that is, they were evenly matched, at least the gap in strength could not be too large.
Because even if they couldn't beat them, as long as they used Senzu beans to hold on until dawn, they would win.
But now, the opponent's strength has increased by more than three times. Except for him, others may not even have the chance to eat Senzu beans to recover, and will be killed, let alone survive until dawn.
"Nezuko will deal with Dakimakami, Hinazuru, Maki and Suma will assist, Zenitsu and Inosuke will deal with Gitarou, Tanjiro will deal with Upper Rank Five, and I will deal with Upper Rank Four.
Remember, don't kill the enemy, use Senzu beans to delay and save your life as much as possible, the sun will rise in two hours."
Facing the four Upper Ranks who attacked fiercely, the Sound Pillar had no choice but to arrange the formation that was most likely to survive.
Dakimakami is the weakest, and Nezuko and her three wives should be able to deal with her. His three wives are mainly capable of intelligence gathering, not good at fighting, and they mainly rely on Nezuko.
Everyone is familiar with Gitarou's moves now, and if Inosuke and Zenitsu work together to deal with it, there is hope that they can survive.
The most difficult one is Tanjiro, who has to face the Upper Rank Five, who has no information, alone, but there is no way.
In this battle, Tanjiro has improved the most, surpassing Zenitsu and Inosuke, and approaching the strength of the pillar. If Tanjiro does not go, no one can stop the Upper Rank Five except him.
And he has to face the most powerful Upper Rank Four. He can only do his best to see if he can kill the opponent, and then go to support others.
Although he knows that this chance is very slim.
Sure enough, after the two sides fought again, most of the situations were similar to what the Sound Pillar expected, but there were also significant differences.
Nezuko fought back and forth and barely blocked it. Inosuke and Zenitsu relied entirely on Senzu beans to support themselves, and they were one-sidedly suppressed.
As for himself, let alone supporting others, it is a problem to protect himself now.
He slashed Hantengu twice, and Hantengu actually split into four people, four younger versions of himself with different abilities. He was beaten up very embarrassedly.
The worst was Tanjiro, who was trapped in the water by Upper Rank Five's Gyokutsu's blood demon technique before he could even perform. He was about to suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen.
"This won't work. The gap in strength is too big. There's no chance for improvement."
Hawking, who had been watching the battle from the cloud, couldn't stand it anymore.
If Tanjiro wants to improve, he must fight stronger enemies, but if they are too strong, there will be no training effect.
He thinks that with Tanjiro's current strength, it is best to fight with Jifu Taro or any clone of the Upper String Four. Fighting directly with the Upper String Five will not improve him at all.
"Boy, you just watch your companions being killed one by one here, and then watch your sister being eaten, and finally slowly suffocating to death. At that time, that expression will definitely be a work of art.
I have thought of a name, it will be called the desperate and incompetent brother."
Yuhu looked at Tanjiro trapped in his water prison, he smiled, and planned to go to Daki to catch Nezuko first, which was the most important goal of this mission.
Tanjiro continued to burst out stripes and use mixed breathing, but he could not cut open the water prison beside him. Seeing Yuhu going to his sister, he gradually became desperate.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"I was wondering why there was so much noise here. It turned out that you were fighting again."
Looking for the sound, it was Hawking, the genius doctor who had treated him before and gave him magic beans.
Hope suddenly rose in his heart again, but soon it was shattered again, because he remembered Hawking said that he couldn't fight, so he naturally couldn't break the water prison that enveloped him.
"What a hard water prison, what should I do? I can't fight, so I can't cut it."
Hawking touched the outer wall of the water prison, first made a face of embarrassment, and then seemed to think of something, and just pulled out a golden trident out of thin air.
"Fortunately, although I can't fight, I have many magical magic weapons, just like this trident, which I picked up in the sea. It can control the water flow and may be able to save you."
Push the golden trident to the water prison, and the water prison immediately began to vibrate, and then it was all sucked up by the trident.
Hawking picked up this trident from the sea, but not from the sea of this world, but from the Saint Seiya world.
Because this is the trident of Poseidon, the god of the sea, which is said to have the magical power to command all the seas in the universe. Last time he went to the Saint Seiya world, he took it from the temple in the sea of Poseidon.
