The person who pushed open Tanjiro's door was Upper Moon Four - Hantengu.
Hantengu's appearance startled Tanjiro and caught him completely off guard. Tanjiro's subconscious mind believed that the Swordsmith Village was very safe and that demons couldn't possibly appear.
But now, Upper Moon Four - Hantengu, who had pushed open the door, had slapped Tanjiro hard in the face, so to speak.
Most importantly, Tanjiro hadn't even sensed Hantengu's presence. Even though Hantengu was standing right in front of him, Tanjiro still couldn't detect his aura.
This made Tanjiro feel a little scared. If Hantengu had found him first, would he have been able to sense Hantengu's arrival while he was sleeping?
"Found him! Found him!" Hantengu muttered excitedly.
Although both Tanjiro and Muichiro Tokito instinctively adopted a fighting stance when Hantengu appeared, Muichiro Tokito was the first to react.
"Mist Breathing, Fourth Form: Shifting Flow Slash!"
[Mist Breathing]
Mist Breathing is a breathing style derived from Wind Breathing. The essence of both is to enhance agility and attack power by utilizing airflow and air currents.
[Mist Breathing, Fourth Form: Shifting Flow Slash]
Muichiro Tokito, the user of Mist Breathing, creates airflow under his feet that can slightly lift him or greatly reduce friction by using the rhythm of mist. This allows him to slide quickly and launch a slash.
When the technique is released, the surrounding air is affected by the rhythm of mist, forming a dense fog. The fog can interfere with the enemy's ability to judge Muichiro Tokito's attack movements.
Although the technique is similar to Thunderclap and Flash and Rengoku's Meteor, its burst and speed are inferior to Thunderclap and Flash and Rengoku's Meteor.
After all, Thunder Breathing is the fastest breathing style of all, and Rengoku's Meteor is the ultimate move of Flame Breathing. Therefore, Mist Breathing, Fourth Form, Advection Slash, cannot possibly rival Thunderclap and Flash and Rengoku's Meteor.
Moreover, the form of the technique is fundamentally different from the two. Advection Slash is relatively smoother.
When Muichiro Tokito used Advection Slash, the room was immediately enveloped in a dense fog, and Muichiro Tokito's figure quickly slid towards Hantengu.
Hantengu's reaction wasn't slow either. When Muichiro Tokito's attack landed, he suddenly jumped onto the ceiling of the room!
Then, Hantengu let out a painful and aggrieved wail. Although Hantengu had dodged Muichiro Tokito's attack, Muichiro Tokito's attack touched Hantengu's face, leaving a long gash on it.
Hantengu covered his injured face with one hand and said extremely aggrievedly, "Don't bully me! Don't bully me! I'm just a poor old man! It hurts, aaaaaah~"
Hantengu's voice was like that of an abused old man. The sound made people feel pity, as if Hantengu was a truly pitiful old man.
This voice was especially effective at stirring up the kindness in Tanjiro's heart. Even though he knew the other party was a demon, Tanjiro still felt some reluctance to strike.
"He's a demon, he's a demon, he's an Upper Moon demon who has killed many people. You must not have any pity for him!"
Tanjiro constantly gave himself psychological suggestions. Under this suggestion, the kindness in Tanjiro's heart was finally suppressed.
The next moment, Tanjiro launched an attack on Hantengu, who was pretending to be pitiful on the ceiling.
