Chapter 1279: Kamado Tanjiro Finally Matures!
For Otherworlders, this world is wonderful, but also very dangerous.
Clown's offensive was like a heavy rain pouring down.
Tanjiro endured fatigue and pain, parrying left and right.
While using the characteristic balance of offense and defense of 'Water Breathing' to block the incoming sword shadows.
While utilizing his talent to smell the 'Thread of Vulnerability', keenly capturing the opponent's weakness.
Occasionally counterattacking Clown with a blade, he made it difficult for the latter to attack recklessly with full strength.
But Tanjiro knew this was not a long-term solution, yet he didn't know what to do.
He could only concentrate all his focus, enduring the severe pain on his body, and face the battle before him with all his strength.
"Damn it, what's with this guy? Why is he so troublesome!"
Seeing that he couldn't break through for a long time, Clown's mood became increasingly impatient.
The fact was, he was also very fatigued now, and his previous lingering injuries were throbbing with pain.
Coupled with the fact that Smoker could return at any time, this created a strong sense of urgency.
Thinking of this, Clown gritted his teeth and made a decision. He temporarily paused his movements, took out a black and red pill from his pocket, and threw it into his mouth.
It was precisely the 'ES Fierce Medicine' produced from Fish-Man Island!
"What is that..."
Tanjiro watched Clown's actions, his face filled with surprise and doubt.
"Uh ah----"
Soon, Clown's body underwent various changes. His forehead was sweating, and his muscles were swelling.
His eyes became densely bloodshot and turned completely red, and he let out an unknown roar from his mouth.
"Ah, this surging strength! Just one pill increased my strength by nearly twofold!"
Clown seemed to have recovered his rationality, and an excited smile appeared on his face.
But his eyes were still as red as blood, looking somewhat like the Ketsuryugan of the Ninja World.
Clown now really wanted to eat another Fierce Medicine, or even more.
But after all, he was someone who could train Armament Haki, so his will was still somewhat firm. He barely managed to suppress the desire surging in his heart.
"I'll finish you off right now, kid!"
Clown looked at Tanjiro, his eyes filled with malice and mockery.
[Boom!]
The surging strength caused him to stomp the ground beneath his feet the moment he moved, erupting with speed far exceeding before.
A circle of exploded sonic boom mist appeared in front of Clown.
"What?!"
Tanjiro was aghast.
He could only follow his instincts along the 'Thread of Vulnerability' he smelled.
Using Water Breathing's Seventh Form: Drop Ripple Thrust.
This is the fastest stab technique among Water Breathing's sword forms.
Combined with the guidance of the 'Thread of Vulnerability', it can display incredible accuracy.
Although Clown's Flower Sword was fast, it still couldn't dodge the blade that only needed to slash vertically from the original spot.
[Clang!!!]
However, the force erupted by the Flower Sword exceeded Tanjiro's expectation.
The scorching hot, glowing red Crimson Blade, along with the water flow on it, was forcefully struck aside the moment it collided with the Flower Sword.
[Pfft!]
The next second, the slender sword tip pierced into Tanjiro's chest along the momentum, and then came out from his back, carrying blood.
"Heh~"
Clown looked at Tanjiro, who was full of shock and whose pupils were trembling, and revealed a cruel smile.
"Sorry, I didn't originally want to kill you, but you're too troublesome, I really couldn't hold back my strength!"
Unexpectedly, Tanjiro suddenly erupted in fury: "I won't die!"
Suddenly, he threw his head back. Without waiting for Clown's reaction, he used a fierce headbutt to strike the latter's forehead.
[Thud!!!]
Sweetheart in the distance was stunned.
"Ahhhhh, it hurts! It hurts so much!"
"You damn kid, how can your head be so hard!"
The woman foolishly watched the red-eyed Clown being sent flying by this headbutt, falling onto the ground, clutching his head, and screaming repeatedly there.
Tanjiro on the other side ignored Clown, quickly took out the Purple Butterfly Emergency Pill he carried with him, swallowed it, and seized the time to treat the injuries in his abdomen.
Fortunately, the Flower Sword's blade was very thin, the wound was not large, and no important internal organs were damaged.
Of course, the key was that he already possessed the physique of the Sea Star people.
"I'll kill you! Kill you! Bastard!"
Clown passed the most painful stage and launched another fierce attack, filled with rage.
His speed was still that fast, and his strength was still that great.
Tanjiro was helpless and could only desperately use Sun Breathing, wielding blazing fire to engage in fierce battle with him.
For a time, the clanging sound echoed throughout the plaza in front of the castle gate.
He almost brought his skill to its peak, and his attention was concentrated to the extreme.
However, as the fight went on, Tanjiro gradually discovered that Clown's movements seemed to be slowing down, and the force transmitted from his blade was also weakening?
What was happening?
As for his opponent, Clown, he saw that the scar on Tanjiro's left forehead was rapidly spreading towards his face.
And during this process, he noticed that Tanjiro's strength, speed, and reaction were all improving.
When the scar stopped changing, Tanjiro could already easily keep up with Clown's speed and could take every one of his sword strikes with ease.
What was happening?
Clown, being suppressed again, was extremely shocked. He didn't understand what was happening.
He didn't see Tanjiro eat anything either?
But he immediately thought, since one Fierce Medicine wasn't enough, he would eat two, or three.
Although there was the risk of losing rationality and addiction, he couldn't bother with those now.
First, defeat this kid, then leave. He didn't even want to bother with Sweetheart anymore.
However, Tanjiro had already seen the effect after Clown took the medicine, so he didn't give him any time to take the medicine at all.
Although he didn't know why his body suddenly felt lighter.
But he could feel that he could continue to use Sun Breathing.
Thus, Tanjiro had no extra thought and continuously used First Form to Thirteenth Form.
The fire wave on his body completely formed a fire dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, surrounding Clown.
Sweetheart could no longer see Clown's figure.
"What exactly is this..."
Tanjiro, controlling the fire dragon, was filled with extreme horror in his heart at this moment.
Because the world in his eyes suddenly became strange.
Everything in his line of sight turned black and white, and even his own flame appeared very dim.
Everything seemed so slow, the opponent's movements were completely visible, and the predicted attack trajectory was very clear.
The most surprising thing was that his own body and the opponent's body were incredibly transparent.
Clown's internal organs, even the blood flowing within his blood vessels, and the contracting and expanding muscle fibers were clearly visible.
It was like a combination of Observation Haki and Byakugan.
This is the unique talent that Demon Slayer World people have a certain probability of awakening.
Transparent World!
However, its range is very small, limited to the distance visible to the naked eye.
But, the moment Tanjiro awakened Transparent World, he also awakened Observation Haki.
This caused a huge improvement in all aspects of Transparent World.
Clown in the fire dragon directly lost his ability to resist.
His attack could no longer touch Tanjiro, but Tanjiro's Crimson Blade could freely leave wounds on his body.
At this time, Armament Haki could no longer protect him either.
Tanjiro's strength, enhanced by the Demon Slayer Mark, combined with his Crimson Blade and Sun Breathing, was already enough to break through Haki defense.
Coupled with the high temperature flames constantly wearing down his Haki reserves.
Finally.
Clown could only watch helplessly as the scorching hot, glowing red Crimson Blade pierced through the semi-transparent membrane in his chest.
Instantly cutting open the Kabaneri Heart inside, which was also emitting light and heat, completely severing his own life force.
"I can't die here, Nezuko is still waiting for me to come home."
Kamado Tanjiro held his blade with one hand, surrounded by flames, and coldly watched Clown, who had fallen to the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
At this moment.
This boy could finally be considered truly grown into an adult.
Because his world was no longer just the Demon Slayer World.
In the Myriad Worlds filled with terror, he can remain kind, but he cannot be too naive.
Faintly, the flame behind Tanjiro seemed to transform into the appearance of another man.
