Although Shinobu joined the battle, facing these Hashiras without a handy Nichirin Blade, her performance was minimal.
Just Uzui Tengen alone was enough to restrain both Giyu and her.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, on the other hand, took the chance to charge toward Nezuko. The demon had already awakened, and he had to kill her as soon as possible.
"Shinobu, your childbearing-type hips aren't suitable for a Demon Slayer Corps member."
Uzui Tengen danced with his two swords. While fighting the two, he still had the leisure to tease. "A little bit lacking in flamboyance!"
Shinobu heard that and said with a bright smile, "I'll kill you, Uzui-san."
Both Giyu and she wanted to pull away to stop Shinazugawa, but Uzui Tengen's control over the pace of battle was masterful. The two of them were tightly entangled by his swords.
Shinobu was extremely anxious in her heart. 'If this keeps up, Nezuko will be in danger. Jotaro-san does have a powerful Stand, but can he really handle Shinazugawa-san?'
Her older sister, Kanae, had very high talent in breathing techniques and swordsmanship, so she became a Hashira at a young age.
But compared to Sanemi Shinazugawa, her sister's talent was still slightly inferior. Shinazugawa joined the Demon Slayer Corps later than her sister, but his improvement in strength was much faster than hers. His rate of growth was astonishing.
Against such an opponent, can Jotaro really handle him?
"What's going on! The Wind Hashira's sword actually broke!"
"This demon is that hard?"
In the eyes of the nearby Demon Slayer swordsmen, Shinazugawa charged forward aggressively and slashed at Nezuko. But just as the blade was about to touch Nezuko's neck, the Nichirin Blade shattered into countless fragments.
They cried out in shock, their voices were so loud that even the three who were fighting stopped.
Shinobu and the others all looked over. They saw Sanemi wide-eyed, staring at the Nichirin Blade in his hand that now only had the guard left, his body trembling uncontrollably.
The remaining hilt still vibrated in his hand, and the immense force had split several bloody gashes in the base of his thumb. Blood flowed uncontrollably.
"Let go quickly, or your hand will be ruined." Seeing this, Jotaro kindly warned him.
Sanemi turned a deaf ear and stubbornly gripped the hilt.
Pshhh!
His palm and the back of his hand cracked open with countless more wounds, but the hilt finally stopped shaking.
Sanemi's action made Jotaro look at him with a bit more respect.
Just after scolding Shinobu, he didn't expect his own sword to break. There was no way his pride wasn't hurt.
Sanemi slowly lifted his head. After three strange attacks, his sharp intuition made him absolutely sure, it was this tall man in front of him who was using some weird method to stop him.
His eyes locked firmly onto Jotaro. Then, he picked up another Nichirin Blade from the ground and pulled out a belt, tying his hand and the sword together.
From his behavior, it was obvious he didn't intend to stop.
Sure enough, in the next second, Shinazugawa charged forward with his blade again.
"Yare yare…"
Jotaro seemed a bit impatient. If it's like this, then he could only help him stop.
"Eighth Form, First Fierce Wind Slash!"
Sanemi's speed increased to the limit at this moment. Several wind blades swept forth.
"This guy Sanemi has too much of a bad temper. Is he trying to kill the other guy?" Seeing Sanemi use this technique, Uzui Tengen said in shock.
The powerful wind blades could tear a demon's body into pieces, let alone a normal human.
Giyu Tomioka was also shocked and shouted, "Has he gone crazy?!"
In his eyes, Jotaro was just a normal human. If he got hit by this move, he would definitely be torn apart. He wanted to stop Sanemi, but it was too late.
Shinobu's eyes were full of worry. Though she had witnessed Jotaro's strength, could he really handle this move?
Demons like Takakura Ken were slain in an instant by Sanemi. She had no idea how big the strength gap was between Jotaro and Sanemi Shinazugawa.
The wind blades came head-on. Jotaro's coat flapped violently, continuously fluttering.
'This power...'
Jotaro was a little surprised. To achieve this level with just a human body, it was praiseworthy. But praise is one thing, he wouldn't stand there like a fool and get hit.
"Star Platinum!"
"Ora ora ora ora!"
Star Platinum rapidly punched. The fierce punching winds distorted the wind blades in an instant. The next second, they disappeared without a trace.
"What!"
Sanemi was utterly shocked. His full-strength attack was instantly neutralized, who could endure this?
'What the hell did this guy do?'
"The Wind Hashira's move was actually broken! How is that possible!" Demon Slayer Corps members shouted in shock.
The three Hashiras were so stunned that they couldn't speak. They completely forgot they were still in the middle of a fight.
After a while, Uzui Tengen finally said, "Could it be that demon's Blood Demon Art?"
Seeing that Jotaro, Tanjiro, and the others were all safe and sound, Giyu finally sighed in relief.
Shinobu stared blankly at the center of the battlefield. Among the three, only she knew Jotaro had a Stand, so she naturally understood what had neutralized Sanemi's move.
Jotaro kept his hands in his pockets, calm and relaxed, looking like he wasn't even serious.
The Stand Star Platinum was even more powerful than she thought.
Even though his move was broken, Sanemi didn't stop. At this moment, he came in front of Jotaro with blade in hand.
A slash aimed to avoid vital points came down, giving Jotaro no time to react.
"Ora!"
Star Platinum easily blocked the blade.
Jotaro took his hands out of his pockets. Against such an opponent, if he didn't show some proper strength, it would be a complete insult.
He had no deep hatred with Sanemi. In fact, the spirit in Sanemi moved him.
It was time to end this duel.
"Ora ora ora ora!"
Sanemi was beaten until his whole body was covered in injuries. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
Severely wounded, he collapsed to the ground. He was still struggling to get up, murmuring, "There's something beside you."
But in the next second, a feeling of limpness swept through his whole body, and he fell down softly.
All the swordsmen gasped. Their Wind Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps was actually defeated by someone.
"That guy!"
Giyu finally came to his senses. During the time when Jotaro and Shinobu left the Butterfly Mansion, Tanjiro had told him more than once that the one who attacked their family was likely the Demon King, Muzan.
But Giyu had firmly refused to believe it.
He didn't know the exact strength of Demon King Muzan, but he was definitely stronger than the Upper Moons.
They, as Hashiras, had a terrifyingly low chance of beating an Upper Moon.
To encounter the Demon King, and for a normal person who didn't even know breathing techniques to let the whole Kamado family survive? What kind of joke was that?
But at this moment, he couldn't help but have a certain feeling, "To have encountered Kibutsuji Muzan, could it be true?"
Giyu's quiet mutter was heard by Shinobu. She said seriously, "Looking at it now, it's very possible. Jotaro-san has talent beyond anyone's imagination. Maybe he really can repel Muzan."
"I've already reported this to Lord Oyakata. I hope he can keep Jotaro-san in the Demon Slayer Corps."
