Chapter 164 Explosion
A huge roar, like thunder, came from a direction completely different from their destination. It was unlikely that Tanjiro or the wild boar could produce such a loud noise...
In other words, the Pillar went to Hinazuru first.
He might have gone to Hinazuru to get information, or he might have discovered something on the way there. After all, if he had only found that house, it wouldn't have caused such a huge commotion.
So what was found?
Questions are answered as they arise.
There is only one place on this street that requires destruction to reach.
The granary that Daki chose was located deep underground in Yuguo.
.
?
and many more.
Didn't he only have two knives? So, instead of finding a passageway to expand again, he just found a spot and started digging? He needed two knives to dig down that deep?
Lin Guang even stopped walking the moment this thought came to his mind, and couldn't help but look back in the general direction. Although the original scene could not be captured clearly due to the obstruction of the buildings, it was still enough to catch a glimpse of the flying dust.
"Is this true? Does he think he's Akaza...?"
After enough joking, and confirming that the most dangerous guy was not on Daki's side, Lingguang no longer needed to rush. He began to stroll along the eaves. He didn't know whose crow spread its wings at the edge of his sight, and he didn't know where it was flying to. Maybe it was asking for help, maybe it was looking for someone, or maybe it was warning the crowd to evacuate.
But no matter what the purpose is, it seems that tonight's tour will only become more and more lively.
He strides over the eaves, a silent shadow drifting through the darkness, witnessed only by the moonlight. The sound of iron clashing grows clearer in his ears, signaling he's found the right spot, drawing closer to the battlefield.
It wasn't a surprise to see Tanjiro fighting Dakime, but she felt a subconscious sigh of relief. Rinko never wanted to fight someone she knew, and it had always been that way. But if it was Tanjiro, it seemed like those feelings would ease a bit; after all, he deserved it, Rinko thought.
The scales of victory did not tilt towards either side, at least on the surface, but in fact, Daki was just playing around, just like Rinkou usually did, but his intention was not that, although the result seemed to be the same.
Lin Guang arrived at a very coincidental time. He was looking for a suitable viewing platform on the roof, and the next second the belt flew past his eyes.
"As expected of a Pillar... your hands and feet are quite nimble."
The belt on Princess Fern meant that the 'granary' had been cleared, and those guys should be here soon.
Ah, if we meet again later, I won't be able to pretend anymore. If the Pillar knows that he was deceived by a child, he will probably be unhappy. No, I should say he will be furious. Speaking of which... what was the expression on Kyojuro's face at that time, that night?
How come he has no impression of it?
"You guys are so noisy!"
The human voice appeared suddenly, so suddenly that all the living things on the battlefield looked over in an instant. The man was still muttering, walking from the relatively safe building to the absolutely dangerous open space, towards the death he did not know.
Those stupid people who have been protected by the Demon Slayer Corps have appeared.
Daki doesn't like ugly people, doesn't like men, and even more so doesn't like people who disobey her. This "brave" gentleman ignited Daki's anger the moment he appeared.
The fluttering ribbons are a sign of rage, but no one noticed this most important warning.
In just a blink of an eye, the world or hell is just a thought away, with clothes flying, only the sound of wind and flashes of light. Then in an instant, Yama Hell is brought into the world by the ghost and comes before your eyes.
The specially selected front row viewing point became part of the ruins. Rinkou did not become one of the wailing members on the ground, but he did not make a high-profile appearance like Akaza. He just sat quietly on the ruins, not caring about the ruins under his feet, the hell in front of him, the dust on his body, his palms supported behind his back, and his feet dangling in front of him swayed.
Cries for help, questions, and objections were all audible and every word clear. Lin Guang shook his legs, again and again, as steady as his ever-beating heart.
He was not the creator of hell, nor was he a victim of hell, and he was not prepared to become a self-appointed judge. He just happened to pass by hell, so he sat down and watched for a while.
"Were they human before... Yes, ghosts were human before, but who can still remember what happened back then..."
And if being human is such a good thing, such a joyful thing, why are there so many ghosts?
It was like reading a physical storybook, with the protagonists fighting, arguing, and arguing before his eyes, while he read and thought at the same time.
The balance of the battle swayed, and the victory or defeat could be seen with the eyes. The light on Tanjiro's body was clearer than before, but it was still not enough to completely suppress Daki. But for a moment, a brief moment, it was like a spark igniting dry grass, and the faint light suddenly burst into dazzling brilliance. Rinko raised his eyebrows, surprised and unexpected, and his fingertips trembled unconsciously. He was not sure whether it was due to excitement or something else, but he soon knew. Under the constant swinging of the blade, he clearly felt a shudder. For a moment, Tanjiro's voice seemed to overlap with someone else's, and it kept echoing in his head. The unfamiliar face was not someone he knew, but there seemed to be an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Maybe he had seen someone similar, but this was not the point, nor was it important.
What was important was that he remembered this feeling. It was fear, but it wasn't him who was afraid. It was the cells, the blood, the part of him that filled his body and didn't belong to him that was howling.
Ah, is this what happened to Lord Muzan?
This is what happened that night that he didn't know.
The blade cut through the belt, glowing at such a fast speed that it almost looked like it was on fire, but before the blade touched Daki's neck, Rinkou clearly saw that the light went out.
Then came violent coughing and desperate gasping for breath. Even from such a distance, Lin Guang could hear the heartbeat and feel the suffocation.
It's so embarrassing and pitiful.
This is understandable. After all, human beings are just lamps with limited capacity, not the moon that never goes out.
Such a sudden explosion will only end up burning out the remaining life in advance.
The originally shaky balance tilted to one side in this second. Tanjiro was seriously injured and knelt there coughing and gasping. It was already difficult for him to just keep breathing. It would only take a blink of an eye for Daki to kill him, or even less. If he just sat there and did nothing, Tanjiro would die here.
Yes, he just needs to sit here.
Would it be better if Tanjiro died at the hands of Daki? That way he wouldn't have to kill his friend himself, and he could still release the feelings he had for Rui deep inside.
Lin Guang asked himself.
But I felt lonely inside, and no one gave me an answer.

[Tips: I didn't pay much attention to it when I read it before, but when I was writing it myself, I realized that the battle between the upper ranks was really not on the conceptual level. When fighting the lower ranks, they were so leisurely that it dragged on until dawn. Tanjiro basically didn't understand what Akaza and Kyojuro were fighting about. He only saw a burst of sparks and then Kyojuro died soon after.
That is, the speed of time flowing in the battle with Lower Moon One and the battle with Upper Moon Three was very different, but I didn't notice the characteristics of the passage of time at that time.
This time when I was sorting out the timeline of Youguo, I found that everything happened very quickly in parallel. It was still early before dawn when the battle was over. The battle started when it was completely dark, but it only took seven or eight episodes, maybe a few hours?
There is a sense of hindsight that is incredible.
I tried to sort out the timeline to describe it. The first one to start the fight on Yugoku's side was Tanjiro. When watching it, it seemed like Tanjiro had been fighting the Sound Pillar for a long time and never went to help. But in fact, if you watch Inosuke's line, you will realize that the Sound Pillar actually left very quickly. He started looking for people when it got dark, first went to Kyogokuya and then to Hinazuru in the old town, and then immediately went to the granary to help, and then rushed to Tanjiro's side.
All these things happened during the time when Tanjiro was fighting with Dakime, because when Dakime entered the second stage, the Sound Pillar had already dealt with the granary.
Then after the second stage of Dakimakami, Nezuko didn't fight for long before the Sound Pillar flew over. It was really fast.
Everything really happened very quickly. To be honest, it felt like Tanjiro was watching Akaza and Kyojuro fight. It was only slowed down to Akaza and Kyojuro's perspectives to make it clearer to us what was going on.
