After saying "You too!" to the Joy Demon, Tanjiro once again seized the opportunity that the Joy Demon's wounds couldn't heal and closed in.
Seeing the Joy Demon hold his head and open his mouth, Tanjiro already knew the Joy Demon's intention.
However, Tanjiro's sword was still faster than the Joy Demon's voice. Before the Joy Demon could make a sound, Tanjiro slashed at the Joy Demon's wide-open mouth with a single stroke.
Immediately, he interrupted the Joy Demon's sound wave attack, and the Joy Demon's head fell off.
Just as Tanjiro was preparing to swing a second time, the Joy Demon had no choice but to immediately flap the wings on his back and fly vertically into the sky.
At the same time, the two halves of the head that had been cut off immediately transformed into worm forms and then opened their mouths to launch a sound wave attack at Tanjiro.
However, launching a sound wave attack without a complete individual could only harass Tanjiro and couldn't make Tanjiro lose consciousness.
But it was also because of this harassment that Tanjiro lost the opportunity to touch the Joy Demon.
If Tanjiro hadn't been interfered with, even if the attack just now couldn't cut the Joy Demon in half, it might have been possible to cut off the Joy Demon's calf or foot.
Tanjiro, whose attack had missed, had to change his attack direction and cut the two worms that were emitting sound waves at him into pieces.
The Joy Demon, who had flown back into the sky, then circled above Tanjiro.
However, the Joy Demon wasn't in a hurry to launch an attack on Tanjiro, because the Joy Demon was erasing the suppressing effect of the demon-slaying sword in order to recover from the damage caused by Tanjiro.
Seeing the Joy Demon fly into the sky and look like he was temporarily unwilling to make contact with him, Tanjiro knew that he couldn't be in such a passive situation.
Tanjiro knew the reason why the Joy Demon was avoiding him. It was because Ryuji's demon-slaying sword had played a role.
The Joy Demon must have chosen not to make direct contact with him temporarily because his wounds couldn't heal.
If Ryuji's demon-slaying sword hadn't suppressed the demon's regeneration and recovery, then with the regeneration and recovery abilities that Upper Moon demons should have, he would definitely have recovered his wounds at the first moment he was injured.
Unconsciously, Tanjiro also felt the help that the demon-slaying sword was providing to the battle.
If Tanjiro was using a Nichirin Blade, then he definitely wouldn't be able to gain such a big advantage in front of the Upper Moon demon.
And Tanjiro was clear in his heart at this time that he had to make good use of this opportunity, instead of foolishly waiting for the Upper Moon demon to recover.
Soon, the first thing Tanjiro thought of was to take the opportunity to rush back to his room and reunite with Nezuko and Genya.
Therefore, Tanjiro looked towards the room where he was staying. That house was just a hundred meters away from him.
Because at that time, Tanjiro hadn't been taken too far away by the Joy Demon before he fell down.
Without much hesitation, Tanjiro directly launched the Water Breathing footwork technique - Flowing Dance!
"Water Breathing, Third Form, Flowing Dance!"
Instantly, Tanjiro rushed out like a torrent.
And the Joy Demon, whose wounds couldn't be recovered at the first moment, temporarily grew a pair of eyes on his chest.
The Joy Demon, who had gained sight, quickly saw Tanjiro running quickly towards the house.
