Sucking Nezuko Blood

It "Swish!"

Facing the vigilant Tanjiro and Nezuko, Wang Xu's right hand, with fingers adhered to five nearly transparent threads, silently swept towards them like falling leaves, cracking the air and even splitting some trees.

"Water Breathing, Fourth Form: Striking Tide."

Tanjiro's hair stood on end as he faced the almost invisible threads. Gripping his broken sword, he attempted to cut off those fine lines, which were as sharp as swordlight. However, he could only manage to deflect a small portion, narrowly avoiding the rest through quick rolls on the ground.

A handful of strands fell to the ground, making Tanjiro break into a cold sweat.

Nezuko leaped high, dodging the attack, then swiftly rushed towards Wang Xu. Her right hand, now covered in blood, swung like a sword.

This was Nezuko's Blood Demon Art: Combustible Blood, causing her own blood to explode and generate high-temperature flames. It had the special property of burning what wanted to burn, disrupting the opponent's Blood Demon Art or toxins, severely burning demons, and temporarily preventing their regeneration.

Facing Nezuko's attack, Wang Xu remained expressionless. He spun on one foot in the nick of time, his right foot trailing five threads, sweeping across like a blink of an eye.

"Splat..."

Nezuko didn't have time to react; she was split into five parts, and blood sprayed like a fountain, drenching the ground.

"Nezuko."

Tanjiro's eyes widened, even though he knew Nezuko wouldn't die, being split into five parts was not easy to heal.

"Water Breathing, Tenth Form: Constant Flux"

Swinging his broken sword, Tanjiro conjured a water dragon around him, combining it with his body. As the rotations increased, the slashes became more powerful.

However, Wang Xu effortlessly dodged Tanjiro's attacks, skillfully maneuvering through the water dragon's onslaught.

"Faster... it has to be faster."

The water dragon kept spinning, and Tanjiro's gaze filled with urgency. Despite swinging more than ten times, he couldn't touch the opponent.

How could he be this fast?

In an instant, Wang Xu's right hand, surrounded by threads, grabbed the broken sword directly.

"How is this possible?"

Tanjiro's face stiffened, watching the unmoving sword entangled with threads. His attempt to evade was too late.

"Splurt..."

The whole body bent forward, Tanjiro's eyes turned white and blood spurted out from his mouth and nose, and his whole body rose up from the ground and rushed into the sky.

Wang Xu retracted his foot and grabbed Tanjiro from the air with one hand. The next moment, Tanjiro suddenly fell to the ground. The surface of the three-meter-wide area was broken like a spider web. Tanjiro didn't know how many bones were broken in his body.

Densely packed silk threads surrounded it to form an awl, and Wang Xu raised his right foot and stepped on Tanjiro's head.

"ahhh..."

Nezuko, who had returned to normal, screamed, her eyes were blood red, dense cracks appeared on her entire face, and a demon horn grew out of her forehead.

Like an afterimage, Nezuko crashed into Wang Xu in an attempt to rescue Tanjiro.

"Nezuko, no."

Tanjiro kept vomiting blood and watched Wang Xu pull apart the white silk thread with his hands. He could feel the cold light just by looking at it.

"puff..."

Without any hindrance, Nezuko hit it and quickly split into two halves. Blood and internal organs fell on Tanjiro, and the two halves of Nezuko's body also hit the ground directly.

"Nezuko."

Tanjiro forcibly controlled his body and jumped up covered in Nezuko's blood, distancing himself from Wang Xu, then ran to the severely injured Nezuko. His face was a mix of terror and anxiety.

"Spurt..."

With the sword burning red in his hand, empowered by Nezuko's blood, Tanjiro, holding back tears, charged at Wang Xu. A dragon of vibrant, warm flames trailed behind him.

"Fire Breathing: First Form: Unknowing Fire"

An exquisite and brilliant ring of light illuminated the entire night sky.

Tanjiro put everything into this strike; he had to sever this demon's neck.

"Clang!"

A sound like iron clashing echoed as the red-hot sword struck Wang Xu's neck, but it couldn't make the slightest progress. The flame sword released an intense red glow, yet, no matter how hard Tanjiro tried, the sword wouldn't go any further.

"Aaaaaaaa!"

Tanjiro kept vomiting blood, roaring.

He used all his strength.

Wang Xu stood still, the ground beneath him shattered, and his eyes showed no emotion. If observed closely, one could notice that Wang Xu's neck was entirely made of threads, far too rigid for Tanjiro to cut through.

Just when the situation seemed dire, a shout echoed from the jungle.

"Beast Breathing, First Fang: Pierce."

Inosuke appeared, holding two swords, thrusting towards Wang Xu.

Appearing at this moment meant he had dealt with Father.

"Die!"

This was Inosuke's final strike, covered in blood with visible wounds. He had been severely injured.

"Ding!"

A powerful storm swept through as Wang Xu, with one hand entwined in threads, easily blocked Inosuke's two swords without even taking a step back.

Just the white hair was lifted, forming a hedgehog-like head in the storm.

Wang Xu held Tanjiro with one hand and fended off Inosuke with the other, his blood-white eyes cold but lacking the characters for "lower moon" and "five."

A simultaneous blow hit Tanjiro and Inosuke, causing their chests to sink, and crashing into trees before landing in a cloud of dust. Wang Xu approached Nezuko, intending to consume her.

"Nezuko."

Unable to use Water Breathing, tears filled Tanjiro's eyes as he watched Wang Xu approach Nezuko. Struggling, his body lost control.

Nezuko, now healed but immobile due to exhaustion, had her hair grabbed by Wang Xu, who bit her neck. As he sucked her scorching blood, different from that of humans or demons, Wang Xu sensed the burning flame-like nature of Nezuko's blood.

Perhaps this was the reason Nezuko could adapt to sunlight later.

"Ah..."

Nezuko screamed in pain as Wang Xu, callously drained a thread of her blood, equivalent to tearing her flesh.

"Nezuko!"

Ignoring his crumbling body, Tanjiro crawled towards Wang Xu, attempting to intervene.

"Thunder Breathing: Instant Kill."

A thunderous roar echoed as a golden lightning bolt flashed from the distant forest. The shockwave swept the entire area, and within a radius of ten meters, not a blade of grass remained.

Tanjiro was thrown further, worsening his injuries.

Simultaneously, Wang Xu's head soared high, and Nezuko vanished from his grip.

Seven meters away, Tang An wore a dark expression, holding Nezuko. Someone dared to harm the woman he deeply needed, Nezuko was one of the important conditions for his immortality.
