However, Tanjiro quickly thought that the Joy Demon and the Anger Demon might have a symbiotic relationship. If so, the Joy Demon should also be immune to electricity. Then, he could use the Joy Demon's hand to pull out the Shakujo that was piercing Nezuko and releasing electricity.
The entire thinking process seemed complicated, but it was almost completed in an instant.
Just as Tanjiro was rushing towards Nezuko, Tanjiro conveniently cut off one of the Joy Demon's eagle claws, which was still being burned by the purple flames and had no power to resist for the time being. Then, he tightly pinched the cut-off eagle claw and rushed towards the Anger Demon.
The Anger Demon had already created an identical Shakujo with his Blood Demon Art and stabbed it towards Tanjiro, who was rushing towards him.
The Anger Demon also planned to repeat his old trick, giving Tanjiro the same fate as Nezuko.
If it were an ordinary weapon, Tanjiro could directly use his demon-slaying sword to fight back. However, because the Anger Demon's Shakujo had electricity, Tanjiro didn't dare to use his demon-slaying sword to make contact with the Anger Demon's Shakujo.
After all, weapons are made of metal, and Tanjiro was clear about the fact that metal conducts electricity.
However, what Tanjiro didn't know was that Ryuji's demon-slaying sword was no ordinary product. Ryuji's demon-slaying sword not only wouldn't conduct electricity, but it could also completely absorb electricity.
And when Tanjiro was struck by lightning for the first time, it seemed that the demon-slaying sword didn't absorb the electricity released by the Anger Demon's Shakujo.
That was also because the blade of the demon-slaying sword didn't touch the lightning. Tanjiro was holding the hilt at the time, and the hilt didn't have the ability to absorb electricity, it was just a 100% insulator. This was also to prevent the demon-slaying sword from affecting the user when it absorbed electricity.
If Tanjiro had been holding the blade at the time, then the electric current flowing into his body could have been absorbed by the blade.
In other words, if Tanjiro had inserted the blade of the demon-slaying sword into the ground at the first moment, then he should have been able to resolve the Anger Demon's lightning attack.
Even if he couldn't resolve it 100%, he could definitely weaken the Anger Demon's lightning to a very weak state.
Furthermore, if the hilt of the demon-slaying sword wasn't 100% insulated, then perhaps the huge electric current that flowed into Tanjiro's body at the time could have flowed through the hilt to the blade of the demon-slaying sword and then been absorbed by the blade.
So, it could only be said that Tanjiro didn't understand the demon-slaying sword, so Tanjiro couldn't think that the demon-slaying sword could be used in this way.
If he had known, Tanjiro would definitely have grabbed the blade of the demon-slaying sword with one hand and then used the other hand to pull out the Shakujo that was inserted into Nezuko's throat.
Just as the Anger Demon stabbed the Shakujo fiercely towards Tanjiro, Tanjiro immediately raised the Joy Demon's severed claw to block it.
The Shakujo pierced through the Joy Demon's severed claw, and Tanjiro didn't experience any electric shock. This made Tanjiro overjoyed. His conjecture was indeed correct.
And Tanjiro's actions made the Anger Demon startled. He didn't expect Tanjiro to use this method to avoid contact with the Shakujo.
Immediately, Tanjiro raised his sword with his right hand and swung it towards the Anger Demon's head. With the Anger Demon's crown as the cutting line, he cut down like he was chopping firewood, stopping only after cutting into the Anger Demon's abdomen.
However, Tanjiro didn't completely cut him in half, also to prevent the Anger Demon from splitting into incomplete individuals like the Joy Demon, and then hindering his rescue plan.
