Killing Wind Hashira Sanemi

The pitch-black night and the crescent moon hung alone in the sky over the forest, casting a dim light that made the entire place eerie and terrifying.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a massive explosion echoed through the forest, accompanied by cruel laughter.

"Run for your life..."

Sanemi's face twisted into a demonic grin as he watched a terrified demon fleeing in front of him as he walked leisurely.

"This lunatic."

With horns on his head, a face covered in cracked bloodstains, and a height of two meters, the Ox Demon was desperately running away from the relentless pursuit of Sanemi. the other party didn't kill him but tortured him.

This made the ox demon extremely frightened.

"First Form: dust whirlwind cutter"

Sanemi, with his first form, pierced the demon ox's chest, spewing blood as he was thrown away and crashed into a hillside, causing a loud roar.

The scent of fresh blood stained the ground red, and the ox demon, in panic, looked at Sanemi. A basketball-sized hole appeared in his chest, visible from both inside and outside.

"So weak."

Looking down at the ox demon from above, Sanemi was not pleased.

He wanted to hunt down the Twelve Moon or even Muzan, but encountering them was challenging. So, he vented his frustration on these weak demons.

"Tell me the whereabouts of the Twelve Moons, and I might spare your life."

Sanemi kicked the ox demon to the ground, then stepped on his head, ruthlessly tormenting him. He seemed even more demonic than the demon he was hunting.

"I'm just an ordinary demon. How would I know the whereabouts of the Twelve moons?"

Ox demon looked terrified.

"Ah..."

Blood splattered as Sanemi, with the Nichirin sword in hand, swung it, cutting off Ox demon's legs. As long as the neck wasn't severed by the Nichirin sword, demons were difficult to kill.

"What use are you then?"

With a swift motion, Sanemi severed Ox demon's hands, too.

"Let me go. I promise not to eat humans anymore."

Ox demon pleaded in fear, desperate to distance himself from this demon hunter.

Sanemi, with a menacing face, showed no interest in continuing the torment. If only it were the Twelve Moons or Muzan, torturing them would be truly satisfying.

"let me send you on your way!"

Sanemi raised the Nichirin sword high, ready to decapitate the ox demon.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a thunderous noise from the sky, a golden lightning bolt struck down, lifting clouds of dust. In the center of the impact, a figure in golden armor emerged, walking with the sound of war echoing, as if on an ancient battlefield.

Sanemi stared at this golden warrior, feeling a powerful aura and hostility.

Is it one of the Twelve moons?

No, it couldn't be.

Sanemi looked at the eyes revealed beneath the golden helmet, shining like a deep, sparkling purple diamond with intricate patterns.

These eyes.

"It's you."

Despite his reluctance to admit it, Sanemi had seen those eyes during the day.

Impossible!

"Crack..."

Without speaking, Tang An's previously steady breath began to change. At the same time, golden lightning surrounded him. In the next moment, the ground beneath his feet cracked and collapsed, with a blast disappearing into the dust.

"Damn it."

"Wind Breathing- Fifth Form: Cold Mountain Wind"

Sanemi's hair stood on end, his breathing becoming heavy and rapid. Trying to force the opponent with a wide-range attack, he aimed to pressure him.

A massive wind blade surrounded him, tearing through the atmosphere.

"Puff..."

But it had no effect. Tang An's body, now turned into a crystalline substance under the golden armor, forcefully pierced through the storm, delivering a punch to Sanemi's abdomen.

Blood sprayed from the mouth and nose as Sanemi grimaced, transformed into a projectile, crashing into the forest, breaking countless trees. Even the air itself seemed to tear apart.

"Crack..."

However, Tang An was faster, combining the Shave with the Thunder Breathing. He is like a true lightning bolt, leaving behind a golden tail as he appears behind Sanemi, who has not yet touched the ground.

A radiant crystalline foot tore through the air, shattering eardrums as it struck Sanemi's back. In the next moment, the sound of bones cracking echoed, and Sanemi, like a cannonball, shot into the forest, breaking tree after tree again.

In the pitch-black sky, Tang An instantly appeared, then thunderously descended.

At this moment, Sanemi arrived, with a foot pressed against his abdomen sinking deep into the ground. A shockwave spread as the earth quickly cracked and formed a large crater, with Sanemi lying at the end in a deformed state.

Not far away, Ox demon, still recovering, now looked even more terrified than before.

Who in the world is he?

The demon hunter that could crush him at will is now being crushed by someone else.

In the large pit, Tang An bent down, holding Sanemi's head. The pupils with purple diamond patterns showed nothing but disdain.

Blood, with a strong smell, continued to flow from Sanemi's seven holes. He looked at Tang An with bloodshot eyes, spitting out flesh foam and organ fragments.

Tossing Sanemi into the air, Tang An, upon landing, spun and delivered a kick. The ground lifted in layers, forming a two-meter-wide trench appearing thirty meters away, with Sanemi lying at the end in an inhumane state.

Walking in the debris-filled trench, the sound of armor collisions was crisp and loud.

"Cough..."

Sanemi couldn't speak anymore; his entire chest had collapsed, revealing ribs protruding. In just four moves, he was disabled.

Standing in front of Sanemi, Tang An revealed a contemptuous attitude from a higher vantage point.

Just like during the day, only the positions of the two have switched.

"Come over!"

Tang An turned to look at Ox demon, who was trying to sneak away in fear.

Ox demon, now fully recovered, was terrified and just wanted to leave. He hadn't even seen the fight clearly; it was already over when he understood.

Tang An's command made him shudder, and he turned around with a horrified face covered in sweat.

"Come over and eat him."

Tang An had no emotion in the purple pupils when he said that.

"Ah..."

Ox demon was first stunned, then, facing those pupils, shivered involuntarily, he walked hesitantly towards Sanemi and began to eat. Once tasted, the Ox demon felt the sweetness of human flesh.

Glancing at the golden battle boots, Ox demon's heart pounded, and his scalp tingled.

Sanemi, being chewed by the Ox demon alive, couldn't even scream; he just stared at Tang An, who calmly met his gaze.

When Ox demon had consumed half of Sanemi's body, and the latter was already dead, Tang An glanced at Ox demon and then, with an explosion, soared into the sky, transforming into golden lightning and quickly disappearing.

"Too... too terrifying."

After confirming Tang An's departure, Ox demon sat on the ground, still trembling with fear.

He hadn't seen the opponent's face, but those eyes were firmly imprinted in his mind.

As for why Tang An didn't kill the Ox demon, it was to make it appear that Sanemi was killed by a demon.

No matter how suspicious the Demon Slayer Corps might be, they wouldn't suspect him.

Now he was seriously injured, supposedly by Sanemi. And Ox demon also didn't see his face, leaving everything unnoticed.

Even if there were loopholes, it didn't matter; they couldn't suspect him in the short term.
