Chapter 175 Troubled
Lin Guang squatted on the remaining eaves, his eyes wandering around. The dust had not yet settled, but he had already caught sight of two shadows approaching him. It was really a headache. This place had been turned into ruins by Daki, but Shima and Kyojuro were still chasing him closely.
Like two hounds that never get tired, they only care about catching him, the rabbit that was marked at some unknown time, as if that would give them a reward.
"If I say, I don't want to go back with you, can you stop and leave?"
This time, no one needed to take the time to speak to him. The scorching hot blade cut through the fluttering sash and flew straight towards him. This was the most resolute negative answer.
"That's very rude."
Lin Guang sighed helplessly.

There are always more misfortunes in the world. The scales will not favor the other side just because they have been leaning towards one side. Good luck will not come to you, but bad luck will always haunt you endlessly.
Lin Guang knew this.
But it was obvious that simply knowing was useless. He had experienced this time and again, yet this truth always slipped through his fingers like time, memories, and grains of sand he had once held in his palms.
He couldn't control it, and didn't know how to stop it, so he just pretended not to see it. He thought that as long as he kept moving forward, he would be able to get out of this bad situation.
Facts have always proven this time and again: if we don't summarize the past and learn from the lessons, we are doomed to fall into the same trap in the future. This is inevitable, natural, and is both a price and a punishment.
It makes sense and is natural.
If a person walks in the dark without a signpost, he will just keep going around in circles on the same road.
So maybe he deserves some of that.

At the beginning of the battle, Rinkou had carefully observed all the people sent by the Demon Slayer Corps. Past experience clearly told him the strengths and weaknesses of these people. The pillars were very strong, and Tanjiro and the others were not so strong. After weighing the pros and cons, he judged that Kifutaro could completely deal with Tengen, who obviously did not look strong enough. Even if a thinner guy called Iguro joined there later, it didn't matter. Kifutaro was good at using poison and had a fast attack speed. Those two guys should not be able to gain much advantage over him.
As for Daki, no matter how weak she is, she should be able to deal with Tanjiro and the others.
But in reality, all this was not as he expected.
Daki was repeatedly in trouble and was about to have her head chopped off several times. She was even beheaded once before he arrived. However, it was his timely arrival that slightly reversed the situation and gave her a chance to breathe.
And now, the wild boar had its bones broken by him, and it was lying under some ruins, struggling to survive. Zenitsu was pinned down by the ruins, and even though he seemed to still have some strength, he couldn't join in again. But even so, Tanjiro was the only one left, yet he was still able to fight back and forth with Dakimaki?
What confused him even more was that the battle situation on Jifutaro's side was not going well either. In his imagination, Jifutaro might be a little constrained at the beginning, but logically speaking, as time went on, human physical fitness would gradually decline, and those seemingly insignificant wounds caused by Jifutaro to the opponent would quickly spread the poison. As long as he could delay for a while, Jifutaro would gain the advantage.
But why is the fact different? Jifutaro did not gain the advantage. In fact, as time went on, his advantage seemed to be weakened. The sound of iron clashing was audible, and Jifutaro's curses were also clearly heard. But in fact, the fact that Daki did not receive any reinforcements was the clearest sign. Jifutaro was completely unable to free up his hands. Not only did he have no time to distract himself, he might even be in a dangerous situation.
It sucks.
The scene returns to the present, Kyojuro and Saneya are still chasing and fighting him. They are clearly aware that they cannot catch him, and not being able to touch him also means not being able to cause harm. This is Rinko's advantage, but it gradually becomes a disadvantage that hinders him. They can't touch him, and they don't need to think about touching him.
They were just delaying, dragging him into this third battlefield, preventing him from helping or intervening.
"To be honest, I'm starting to feel a little angry."
Rinkou's tone remained calm, and his expression remained unchanged, but as soon as he said this, both Shimizu and Kyojuro subconsciously tightened their grip on their blades.
With his hand raised, Shiya clearly realized what he wanted to do, and he gathered strength and rushed forward the moment his hand was about to be raised.
"Breath of Wind, Form One, Dust Whirlwind - Slash."
It was an extremely fast sprint with great lethality and destructive power. The target was not even a whole person, but just to injure the arm.
The distance was erased, but there was no time to stop the boy from speaking.
"Clouds and fog."
Darkness descended once more, but even the loss of vision didn't stop Shiya. He continued forward, following the path he remembered. His strike missed, and he heard the sound of wind blowing upward. He was about to speak, but before he could, he heard another gust of wind.
"Breathing of Fire, Form Five, Flame Tiger!"
This time there was the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart.
"I can't even see you anymore and it's still going on. I've never seen anyone more difficult than you."
Blood dripped onto the eaves, and the large-scale slash was chosen at the most appropriate time. The damage caused was greater than Lin Guang had imagined, but even if such an injury was caused, it didn't matter. His recovery speed was very fast, and they would be thrown off quickly if they lost their sight.
Obviously, he was not the only one who had this idea, so the next second after the sound of an object falling to the ground, two blades came after him again.
Unexpectedly, both attacks missed, and the crisp sound of the blade hitting the eaves symbolized that the boy had successfully fooled them.

"You are such a jerk! It never ends!"
Daki's sharp voice almost hurt his ears, but Tanjiro seemed not to hear a word. He just kept swinging his sword, each movement faster and stronger than the last. He would never stop even if his lungs seemed to explode from breathing. He could not stop until he chopped off her head.
You must chop off her head, you must absolutely chop off her head.
Everyone is working hard. Inosuke and Zenitsu are seriously injured. The pillars are dealing with more powerful demons. Only he is the most relaxed. He is protected by everyone and is pushed to a safe place again and again. He faces the weakest enemies and is even pushed to a safe place by Zenitsu at the last moment before the collapse. He cannot stop and cannot lose. He has to win. At least he has to do the best he can!
The belt that was flying like a blade was swung away again, and the blade hit his neck. He knew that the flexible belt could not be cut easily, so he did not stop after the belt was pulled and deformed, but turned his body accordingly.
"The God of Fire, Kagura, round dance."
The swinging blade cut off Daki's neck, and the head flew high and rolled to the side. Before Tanjiro even had time to adjust his breathing, he smelled the most familiar smell coming from the nearest position.
"You guys are really bothering me..."

[Tips: If everything goes well, I'll write the next chapter. If not, I'll write two more chapters, and then I'll be done with Flower Street. I'm sorry, I'm really not very good at writing battles, nor am I good at organizing multiplayer scenes. Also, my life has been a bit chaotic lately, so I'm very sorry for the low quality recently. I will adjust it as soon as possible.]
