Demon Slayer: Tanjiro becomes a ghost, Nezuko becomes a pillar!

Chapter 87 Thunderbolt 1 Flash - 6 Consecutive Attacks

"You can't escape!"

The spider-faced creature stared at Zenitsu, who was trying to escape, its face full of mockery, its eight hairy tentacles opening and closing at its sides.

Zenitsu instantly bristled, forcibly suppressing his earlier timidity. His features contorted into an exaggerated expression as he shouted his rebuttal.

"Nonsense! How could I not run away! My legs are my own body; I can run as fast as I want. Can you stop me?"

He shouted defiantly, but his feet subconsciously took two steps back, his eyes still darting around, his heart already in a state of panic.

The spider-faced creature chuckled, its eyes filled with disdain, and raised a sharp tentacle, pointing precisely at Zenitsu's left hand.

"Take a look there yourself."

Zenitsu was taken aback, and looked down at his left hand with a puzzled expression, only to find that a bruise had appeared on his wrist.

The bruise was spreading along the blood vessels to my forearm, my skin was numb and itchy, and there was a stinging pain. The sensation of being pricked came back instantly.

He was terrified. Cold sweat poured down his forehead and soaked his back instantly. His voice trembled.

"What...what is this...?"

"It's my poison."

Spider Brother spoke coldly, his eyes full of mockery.

"You got stung when you stepped on the little spider, and the poison has already seeped into your body."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and dozens of human-faced spiders, each the size of a human head, crawled out of the suspended house.

They dangled down the spider silk, densely surrounding the tree, their eight tiny tentacles wriggling incessantly, staring menacingly at Zenitsu, making strange "hoarse" sounds from their throats.

Zenitsu was terrified when he saw the human-faced spiders surrounding him; his legs went weak.

Driven by his survival instinct, he rushed toward a nearby tree and climbed up it with surprising speed and agility, all the while muttering to himself.

"Don't come any closer! None of you come any closer!"

In the blink of an eye, they climbed to the middle of the tree trunk and clung to it tightly, not daring to let go.

Spider Brother looked up at Zenitsu in the tree, his tone carrying a resolute cruelty.

"It's no use. You're already poisoned. Before long, your body will start to mutate, and you'll eventually become like them, a member of this spider family."

"No! I don't want to become that kind of grotesque creature!"

Zenitsu lay on the tree, shaking his head frantically, his face covered in tears and snot, crying and screaming.

"Nezuko! Tanjiro! Wild Boar! Where are you?! Help me!"

He grew increasingly frightened, his body trembling uncontrollably, his hands gripping the tree trunk shaking, hoping his companions would hear the commotion and come to his aid.

Sensing Zenitsu's peril, the bird above him flapped its wings, knowing that staying there was pointless. It tried to fly away to find Tanjiro and Nezuko for help.

When Ke Shanyi caught a glimpse of Chu Taro about to fly away, he instantly broke down, and his cries became even more heart-wrenching.

"Kyuutarou! Are you leaving me too?! Even you don't want me anymore! Grandpa—! Grandpa, help me!"

Spider Brother's head was throbbing from Zenitsu's crying, and he frowned impatiently.

"Shut up! Arrest him!"

As soon as the order was given, dozens of human-faced spiders immediately climbed up the tree trunk, their tentacles gripping the bark at great speed, and in the blink of an eye, they were close to Zenitsu.

Zenitsu caught a glimpse of the spider crawling up out of the corner of his eye and was terrified.

He then used both hands and feet to climb desperately upwards, tumbling and crawling to the top of the tree. He clung tightly to the very top of the trunk, thinking he was safe for the time being. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a chill on his head.

A tuft of yellow hair floated past my eyes and landed on the back of my hand.

Zenitsu was stunned. He blinked his swollen eyes from crying and reached out to touch his hair. As soon as his fingertips touched it, several strands of hair fell out.

His heart skipped a beat, and his face turned deathly pale. He touched his head a few more times, and large clumps of hair fell out, revealing his scalp.

Seeing this, the little spider under the tree looked up and laughed loudly, its voice both shrill and triumphant.

"Hahaha! It's starting! The toxin has taken effect! First, it'll affect your hair, then your limbs will slowly shorten, your body will curl up, and finally you'll become smaller than your head, just like these spiders, trapped here forever!"

"No...no..."

Zenitsu looked at the large handful of blond hair in his palm and listened to the cruel words of his spider brother.

Fear overwhelmed him instantly; his body went limp, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from fright.

Losing his balance, he plummeted straight down from the top of the tree and crashed hard onto the ground.

Spider Brother watched Zenitsu fall freely, his eight tentacles outstretched, his face indifferent.

"Hmph, so easily frightened, it's better if it falls to its death, saves me the trouble of taking action."

Just as Zenitsu was about to land, a blinding bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, a deafening roar reverberating through the mountains and forests. The silvery-white lightning, carrying a devastating aura, exploded instantly!

Zenitsu, who was falling, suddenly disappeared into thin air and landed steadily on an open ground not far away the next second.

His eyes were tightly closed, his brows were furrowed, lightning surged around his body, and crackling electricity coiled around him, his aura was completely overturned.

Spider Brother's pupils contracted sharply, his indifference was instantly replaced by terror, his eight tentacles tensed up, and a huge wave of emotions surged within him.

"Such a powerful aura! This is impossible!"

"Quick! Kill him! Before he's fully conscious!"

The younger spider roared in a panic, urgently ordering all the humanoid spiders to pounce and attack.

Dozens of human-faced spiders roared and took to the air, their eight tentacles spreading out like sharp claws, densely surrounding Zenitsu!

Just as the tentacles were about to touch Zenitsu, lightning exploded around him, and blinding white light swept across the entire forest!

"Thunder Breathing - First Form: Thunderclap Flash!"

As the deep shout fell, Zenitsu's figure instantly transformed into a streak of silver-white light, moving at a speed that exceeded the limits of the naked eye, leaving only an afterimage in place!

Pfft—!

The first human-faced spider to pounce didn't even have time to react before its head was precisely severed, and its blood sprayed out and evaporated instantly in the lightning!

Spider Brother's eyes turned bloodshot as he roared.

"Useless! Stop him!"

Zenitsu stood firmly in place, his sword radiating lightning to its fullest extent.

At the same time, an old voice rang in his ears.

Zenitsu, it's fine if you only know one move, then hone it to its ultimate level, until you reach the pinnacle!

The next second, Zenitsu's breathing became heavy, his body lowered, and his hand gripped the hilt of his sword firmly.

"Thunder Breathing - First Form - Thunderclap Flash - Six-Hit Combo!"

With a loud shout, six dazzling silver-white lightning bolts burst forth simultaneously.

Zenitsu's figure split into five afterimages, and six bolts of lightning raged wildly through the forest!

The first five attacks were as fast as a ghost, instantly killing all the remaining spider-faced creatures!

Dozens of human-faced spiders didn't even have time to scream before they perished, leaving only the spider brother's terrified, distorted face in the forest!

It was so frightened that it trembled all over and turned to run back to the suspended house, howling as it did so.

"Impossible, impossible, how could this coward...!"
