“IGURO-SAN! MUZAN IS ESCAPING!” tanjiro informed you after he saw that muzan is trying to divide himself again into pieces, just like what he did hundred years ago with his fight with yoriichi

but then muzan stopped dividing himself and soon coughed blood which made tanjiro confuse

“he stopped moving. that's their chance to try and decapitate him again” sanzu seriously commented, all of them was sweating bullets while watching, hating themselves because they can't think of anything to do to help

“i think that's because of tamayo and kocho's drugs” uzui explained, he don't personally know bonten and he don't find them flamboyant, but it's not the right time to think of that

and just when you and tanjiro are about to attack muzan, he released a fatal shock wave that sent you and tanjiro flying. but the other shocking thing is, the shock wave reached the place where bonten was with the ubuyashiki siblings, uzui and shinjuro

“what the hell was that? that was fucking strong even tho we're far from the battlefield” ran hissed, uzui quickly went to assist kiriya

“until daybreak comes, it's twenty five minutes. just a little more... a little more. lock muzan down, please somebody, someone who can fight.” kiriya mumbled while they are trying to stop the bleeding of his nose

muzan just released a new form, there's a big cut on his body with fangs, probably ready to devour anyone or anything that will get on his way

he continued to escape when he noticed that you and tanjiro was immobile on the ground, inosuke quickly got on his way

“old man prayer beads leg and half and half haori's are torn off. the bodies of the comrades i ate meals together are scattered around.” inosuke said with hatred on his voice

“give them back. the hands, the feet, give back all of those lives!” he yelled, tears was forming on the eyes of his boar head. muzan growled and went to attack inosuke

“if that isn't possible... then die a million times as an apology!” inosuke jumped back and avoided muzan's attack but after he jumps, one of muzan's tentacles appeared from the ground and bit inosuke

“inosuke! inosuke!” tanjiro cried, he can't move and stand up, his lungs are being squished from the shock wave earlier and he felt dying slowly

“inosuke, hang in there! tanjiro is still alive, i can hear the sound of his heart!” zenitsu suddenly appeared and went to help inosuke

“tanjiro, just think about living! listen to me, you're not dead, there's no way you'll die! you're going home with nezuko-chan, with a nezuko-chan that's been returned to a human! you have to return to your hometown” tears began to stream down on tanjiro's face from his eyes while listening to zenitsu

“your family is waiting for you to return!”

both inosuke and zenitsu bought some time fighting muzan until the wind, water and stone hashiras are ready to fight again. despite two of them losing limbs, they will never give up

“we'll fight to death”

THE FIGHT WAS CONTINUING TOO LONG. it is like seeming to have no end, an endless battle. however, everyone can feel that humanity will win this time

even though yoriichi failed to kill muzan a hundred years ago, they are hoping that someone from their generation will succeed to kill the progenitor of demons, it doesn't matter if hashira or not.
