Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 173 Falling into a tough fight

The Hand Demon's attack was too fast; even after hearing Sabito's warning, the group couldn't react in time.

"It's too fast, there's no way to dodge it, what should I do?"

Seeing the arm flying straight towards him, Yiyong saw it, but his body was so tense that his legs were trembling and he couldn't move at all.

Seeing that Giyuu was about to die at the hands of the demon, Sabito was extremely anxious and immediately unleashed his potential.

"Water Breathing - Third Form"

Sabito used the Water Breathing Technique with all his might, his body flowing around Giyu, Makomo, and the other two like a meandering stream, wielding his sword with light and extremely fast steps.

"Flowing Dance".

In an instant, Sabito blocked the countless arm attacks of the Hand Demon, relieving the life-threatening situation of several people. However, he also consumed a lot of energy, and his breathing became rapid.

"Great, he succeeded!" Sabito was extremely grateful that he had saved Giyu and the others.

"It was blocked? How is that possible!"

Hand Demon's eyes trembled slightly as he looked at Sabito, the scarred boy, in disbelief. His own charged, sudden attack, a deadly strike aimed at them, had actually been blocked by Sabito.

Makomo: "Sabito!"

Seeing Sabito panting heavily, Makomo, realizing what was happening, immediately swung her sword at the Hand Demon, using her incredibly fast and agile movements to disrupt the Hand Demon and give Sabito time to rest and counterattack.

Giyu only then came to his senses. Seeing Makomo fighting the Hand Demon, he immediately suppressed his fear, gripped his Nichirin Blade, and went to help.

Sabito, after a short rest, also joined the battle.

Thus, Sabito, Giyu, and Makomo engaged in a fierce battle with Teki, the scene of which was extremely intense, with surrounding trees snapping one after another.

The two people watching from the sidelines were stunned, their jaws dropping as they stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

"This, this, this -"

These are the newcomers who are undergoing trials with them! Their strength is just too unfair.

"Murata, aren't we too weak compared to them?"

Murata (*?????): "Does that even need to be said? They're both Water Breathing techniques, so why is there such a huge difference?"

Knowing the vast difference in skill between themselves and Sabito and his companions, the two dared not, and were unable to, step forward to help. One must have self-awareness; they were well aware of their own limitations, and their silent encouragement from the sidelines was the greatest help they could offer to the three fighting alongside them.

"You little mice are so annoying, stop now and let me hit you."

On the battlefield, the Hand Demon, who couldn't hit Giyu and his companions, was extremely angry. He kept waving the countless arms growing from his bloated body, chasing after the three people around him, grabbing, slapping, and chopping, but he just couldn't hit them.

"good chance!"

While still angry, the Hand Demon unknowingly revealed a weakness, and Sabito seized the opportunity to strike.

"Water Breathing - First Form: Water Surface Slash"

Sabito pushed off with both feet, instantly appearing behind the Hand Demon's neck, and swiftly swung his right hand, which was holding the sword, horizontally.

Hand Ghost: "Oh no, I can't dodge it!"

Feeling a chill run down his neck, the ghost broke out in a cold sweat. Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

Sabito's Nichirin Blade slashed horizontally across the Teki's neck.

Giyu and Makomo: "Sabito, do your best, cut this demon's neck!"

"Ah~ Ah~ Ah..."

"Ah ah ah..."

"Ah ah ah..."

As Giyuu and Makomo waited in vain, Sabito roared and Teki let out a terrified scream.

In that tense moment, with a loud thud, blood flowed from the neck of the demon, and Sabito's Nichirin Blade was severed in two.

The attempt failed. Sabito's Nichirin Blade had become worn down from the constant slashing of demons and rescuing people over the past two days. Now, as he tried to cut the neck of the Hand Demon, the blade was further worn due to the Hand Demon's stiff neck.

At this crucial moment, Sabito missed a golden opportunity because his Nichirin Blade was not sharp enough.
