The next moment, Ryuji's Nichirin sword pierced Lower Rank Six's heart.
Ryuji released his grip on the sword. Lower Rank Six's torso, having been abandoned by its head, was no longer under its control.
The torso immediately knelt before Ryuji, lifeless.
As the Nichirin sword pierced the torso, blood flowed down the blade, activating its blood-sucking ability. It greedily absorbed Lower Rank Six's blood.
Ryuji did this to allow the Nichirin sword to absorb the demon blood. It had been a while since the sword had absorbed any.
To effectively suppress the Twelve Kizuki, even Muzan Kibutsuji, the sword needed to be upgraded.
Ryuji ignored the torso and drew his other weapon—the two-colored Nichirin sword.
Lower Rank Six, nearly defeated, was enraged. Being forced to abandon its body was a disgrace to a Lower Rank of the Twelve Kizuki.
If it hadn't reacted quickly and sacrificed its body to save its head, Ryuji's previous strike to the neck would have killed it.
"You…damn it!" Lower Rank Six, regenerating its body, glared at Ryuji.
Ryuji looked coldly at Lower Rank Six and taunted, "Almost killed you at the start. With your skills, you'll soon be my next victim!"
Lower Rank Six, arrogant and conceited, couldn't stand the mockery. It was a member of the Twelve Kizuki, a powerful and noble {demon}! Being killed by Ryuji, who wasn't even a Hashira, would be a laughingstock among the other Twelve Kizuki.
Ryuji's strength, while not at the Hashira level, was definitely at the top-tier level, very close to Hashira.
He had mastered the tenth form of Water Breathing to the highest level, gaining a 20% damage increase. Because of this, he could still harm Lower Rank Six.
Lower Rank Six, having fully regenerated, used its Blood Demon Art, its ultimate technique.
"To force me to use {Blood Prison}, you can die proudly!" Lower Rank Six said ferociously to Ryuji.
It spat a dark red blood orb into the air.
The orb shot out, and Ryuji didn't rush to attack it. He didn't know what it was and didn't want to risk it, so he chose to retreat.
The orb exploded in mid-air, spreading a thick blood mist within a kilometer radius.
Ryuji smelled the strong stench of blood and frowned. He knew things wouldn't be so simple; something else would happen.
The blood mist's range was too large. Even if he wanted to leave, it would take time, and Lower Rank Six would surely restrain him, preventing his retreat.
