After Tanjiro finished speaking, he immediately hid in the forest.
Seeing this, one of the {Hand Demon}'s arms instantly elongated like a sharp arrow and shot towards Tanjiro's back.
Ryuji immediately drew his sword and slashed, severing the {Hand Demon}'s arm that was attacking Tanjiro.
"You're facing me now." Ryuji said calmly.
"You little…" The {Hand Demon} was so angry at Ryuji's arrogance that his teeth were itching. He wanted to tear Ryuji's tongue out and torture him bit by bit.
"Die!"
Countless arms on the {Hand Demon}'s body suddenly shot towards Ryuji. Ryuji immediately leaped into the air. Many of the {Hand Demon}'s arms didn't have time to change direction and hit the ground, causing it to explode.
Another arm that had changed direction shot towards Ryuji in mid-air.
"Water Breathing, Eighth Form, Waterfall Basin!"
[Water Breathing, Eighth Form, Waterfall Basin]
A powerful downward slash with immense power. Form: A Waterfall Basin activated by a master will form a water dragon with the water rhythm. A Waterfall Basin activated by someone who is not a master will form a powerful water current with the water rhythm.
Ryuji used Water Breathing, Eighth Form, Waterfall Basin. He swung his Demon Slayer sword heavily downwards. In the next moment, a blue water dragon, like a dragon emerging from the sea, bit towards the numerous flying demon hands.
Wherever the water dragon went, demon hands were severed.
Ryuji's body, due to the immense inertia, fell heavily towards the ground. In this gap, he launched another attack.
"Water Breathing, Second Form, Water Wheel."
Ryuji spun in mid-air, and the Demon Slayer sword in his hand drew a circle as he rotated.
On the arc of the blade, sharp water blades generated by the water rhythm appeared.
Finally, Ryuji, accelerated by his attack, quickly returned to the ground.
Ryuji, having cut off many of the {Hand Demon}'s arms, thought that the {Hand Demon} would lose its chance to continue attacking because its wounds couldn't heal quickly. However, the {Hand Demon}'s severed arms began to wriggle and swell violently, and they grew back again.
This situation surprised Ryuji slightly. Had the Demon Slayer sword's properties failed? Why wasn't the {Hand Demon}'s healing ability being suppressed at all?
No! Ryuji, with his keen observation skills, quickly noticed something unusual. The {Hand Demon}'s arms had grown back, but it wasn't instantaneous. It took about three seconds.
Most importantly, the {Hand Demon} didn't look very comfortable healing its wounds.
It seemed that it wasn't that the Demon Slayer sword hadn't exerted its properties, but that the {Hand Demon}'s healing ability was too strong. Therefore, the suppressing effect of the Demon Slayer sword was extremely weak.
Clearly, the {Hand Demon}, having eaten more than a dozen of its own kind, had improved in all aspects.
If the Demon Slayer sword was like this, then the Nichirin sword would be even more helpless against these demon hands.
"Three seconds? Tanjiro, can you seize this three-second window?" Ryuji murmured to himself.
"Although I don't know what kind of sorcery you used to make my wounds so difficult to heal, your sorcery is no longer effective against me!" The {Hand Demon} laughed proudly.
