Although the fear in his heart grew stronger, Tanjiro Kamado did not hesitate at all. He gritted his teeth, controlled his body, and once again did his best to run towards his destination.
Seeing this, Sakitama's face showed extreme anxiety, and he muttered, "Hopefully we can make it in time..."
Just then, Makomo, who had been watching the battlefield intently, seemed to see something, her face showing utter shock, and she exclaimed incredulously, "This...this...how is this possible!?"

Chapter 496 Merciful Rain, Tearful Rain! (Please Subscribe!)
At the foot of the misty mountain, amidst the battlefield.
Chen Anxia's empty eyes stared blankly at Urokodaki Sakonji, who had transformed into a water dragon and was surging towards her.
The next moment, Chen Anxia effortlessly dodged every attack from Urokodaki Sakonji with a reaction speed beyond human vision.
In Makomo's eyes, every time Urokodaki Sakonji's attack was about to hit her, Chen Anxia seemed to vanish into thin air, disappearing and reappearing in an instant, dodging every attack of Urokodaki Sakonji in an extremely incredible manner.
Given Makomo's current vision and background, this is simply unimaginable. I don't know how Chen Anxia managed to do it.
Sabito, who had been watching Tanjiro Kamado, instinctively turned his gaze to the battlefield after hearing Makomo's words.
Immediately, a look of shock and disbelief appeared on Sakoto's face.
What shocked and disbelieved the rabbit was...
On the battlefield, after dodging Urokodaki Sakonji's Water Breathing: Pick-up Form - Life Flow, Chen Anxia's body instinctively seized the fleeting moment when Urokodaki Sakonji switched moves.
In the eyes of the rabbit, Chen Anxia took a deep breath at a special frequency, and then a white stream of air, as if it were solid, rushed into Chen Anxia's mouth and nose.
The rushing white air currents caused Chen Anxia's body to swell slightly.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Anxia's figure disappeared from the spot, moving at high speed like a stream of water, leaving several afterimages in his wake.
In addition, Chen Anxia used the bladeless hilt of his sword as support, and it meandered and danced in the void, forming a long, winding, blue river with each swing.
Upon seeing this, Sabito exclaimed in disbelief, "This is... Water Breathing, Third Form - Flowing Dance!?"
"Impossible, how could Chen Anxia know the Water Breathing Technique? Wasn't his purpose in coming to Mount Sagiri to have Mr. Urokodaki teach him the Water Breathing Technique?"
Makomo's expression wasn't much better than Sabito's; she was equally puzzled by the question.
Just then, Sabito seemed to realize a possibility. His body trembled violently, his pupils contracted sharply, and he stammered, "Could it be... that he... learned the Water Breathing Technique from Mr. Urokodaki during the battle?"
Upon hearing Sabito's words, Makomo's body and pupils trembled uncontrollably.
Although deep down Makomo had already accepted the possibility that Sabito was the one, she couldn't help but say, "That's impossible. Water Breathing isn't an ordinary martial art. How could it be learned in battle?"
Even Tanjiro, with the greatest talent, spent almost two years fully mastering the Water Breathing technique...
At this moment, Sakoto was trying his best to control his body and his mind.
Sabito did not answer Makomo's question because he did not know how to answer it.
Although Sakoto was extremely unwilling to believe it, he knew that the possibility he mentioned was probably the closest to the truth.
If what I said is true, just how terrifying will Chen Anxia's talent be?
The rabbit didn't know the answer to this question.
But whenever Sabito ponders this question, his soul is filled with fear.
The source of this fear was Chen Anxia's unimaginable talent.
On the other side, Tanjiro Kamado suppressed his fear and ran desperately until he finally reached the battlefield.
Upon arriving at the battlefield, Tanjiro Kamado saw a boy about his age holding a bladeless sword hilt, who was about to slash at Sakonji Urokodaki.
With this strike, the azure water-like sword energy cleaved through the void, releasing a dangerous aura.
Seeing this, Tanjiro Kamado could no longer suppress his fear and shouted at Sakonji Urokodaki, "Mr. Urokodaki, danger!!"
Just as Tanjiro Kamado roared, the tengu mask that Sakonji Urokodaki always wore on his face was cleaved in two by the hilt of Chen Anxia's bladeless sword, and slid off Sakonji Urokodaki's face.
Without a second thought, Tanjiro Kamado picked up his Nichirin Blade and charged at Chen Anxia with all his might.
Tanjiro Kamado was unaware of what had happened, nor did he know why Chen Anxia, who was also human, and Sakonji Urokodaki were fighting.
But Tanjiro Kamado knew that he had to stop their fight and prevent Chen Anxia from harming Sakonji Urokodaki.
Whether he could be Chen Anxia's opponent was no longer a consideration for Kamado Tanjiro.
In the truly seamless ultimate state of 'my heart has completely turned into nothingness, emptiness is nothingness,' Chen Anxia's body parts had already transcended instinct and reacted the moment Kamado Tanjiro launched his attack.
In Tanjiro Kamado's eyes, Chen Anxia's figure seemed to vanish into nothingness, disappearing from his sight in an instant.
Before Tanjiro Kamado could even use his extraordinary sense of smell to pinpoint Chen Anxia's location, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
Under this excruciating pain, Tanjiro Kamado suddenly lost all his strength, and his entire body lay stiffly on the ground, his consciousness beginning to blur.
Behind Kamado Tanjiro, Chen Anxia remained in the same position, striking Kamado Tanjiro's neck with the bottom of his sword hilt, his gaze once again fixed on Urokodaki Sakonji.
In Chen Anxia's empty eyes, the true face of Urokodaki Sakonji was reflected.
The reason why Urokodaki Sakonji always wears the fierce-looking tengu mask is because he was once mocked by a demon for having too gentle a face.
At this moment, Urokodaki Sakonji's overly gentle face appeared incredibly ferocious and ugly due to his descent into madness.
Tanjiro Kamado, who was on the verge of losing consciousness, struggled and tried to stand up again, but could not succeed.
But during this process, Tanjiro Kamado saw Sakonji Urokodaki's true face, which should have been gentle, but instead appeared incredibly ferocious and ugly.
This scene was deeply imprinted in Tanjiro Kamado's mind, causing him to fall into a coma filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Upon seeing this, Makomo and Sabito both showed solemn and serious expressions.
They originally thought Chen Anxia might die at the hands of Urokodaki Sakonji, but they never expected the situation to be completely the opposite.
Most importantly, Tanjiro Kamado, the only one who could save Sakonji Urokodaki at the moment, is now in a coma.
The situation... suddenly reached its worst point.
Helpless in the face of this, Makomo and Sabito could only pray to the gods and to Chen Anxia in their hearts...
Seemingly having heard Makomo and Sabito's prayers, Chen Anxia vanished into nothingness once more, arriving before Urokodaki Sakonji in an instant with incredible speed, and slashing at Urokodaki Sakonji with the bladeless hilt of his sword.
Just as Chen Anxia unleashed the bladeless hilt, a gentle drizzle seemed to fall from the sky.
Bathed in this merciful rain, Urokodaki Sakonji, driven to madness, saw Makomo, Sabito, and his former disciples...
They returned to his side, waving and smiling at him.
Tears flowed uncontrollably at that moment.
In the tears mixed with the rain of mercy, Urokodaki Sakonji finally emerged from his madness.
Having emerged from his state of madness, Urokodaki Sakonji, having exhausted himself completely, collapsed to his knees, as if in repentance, murmuring, "I'm sorry... my children... I'm sorry..."
Seeing this, Makomo walked up and gave Urokodaki Sakonji a hug.
After Makomo, Sabito came up and gave Urokodaki Sakonji a hug as well.
As for the other disciples who lost their lives at the hands of the Hand Demon, after Sabito, they all stepped forward and gave Urokodaki Sakonji a hug.
Seemingly sensing the warm embrace of his deceased disciples, feeling their hearts, and knowing their unwavering love for him, Urokodaki Sakonji finally smiled and murmured again, "Thank you..."
"Thank you for coming back... thank you..."

Water Breathing - Fifth Form - Heavenly Compassionate Rain.
This is a merciful sword technique that decapitates a demon with an extremely gentle speed, causing almost no pain. It is only used when the opponent voluntarily agrees to be beheaded.
In addition, the sword form of Qian Tian's Compassionate Rain is also related to the mind of the user.
The purer and kinder a person's heart is, the more likely they are to awaken the goodness in their opponent's heart when wielding this sword technique.
In the original work, the kind-hearted Tanjiro Kamado used this sword form many times to awaken the goodness of the demons when they were human, and to remind them of their precious memories of being human.
At this moment, Chen Anxia was in a state of childlike innocence.
When executed with a pure and innocent heart, this sword technique is just as effective as the one used by Tanjiro Kamado.
Clearly, Chen Anxia also successfully awakened Urokodaki Sakonji from his madness using this sword technique.
After confirming that Urokodaki Sakonji had exited the state of madness and was no longer able to fight, Chen Anxia also exited the true limit of perfect perfection.
After exiting the true limit of perfect perfection, Chen Anxia felt an immense sense of exhaustion, causing him to stumble.
At the same time, Chen Anxia couldn't help but start panting heavily.
The reason for this is that the ultimate limit of true perfection places an enormous burden on the body.
In the world of Detective Conan, Chen Anxia tried to maintain a truly flawless state.
But each time, the result was that Chen Anxia was forced to release the truly flawless limit of her state, and her body reached its limit due to the intense load, causing Chen Anxia to fall into a coma while convulsing.
Through continuous attempts, Chen Anxia realized that with his current overall physical condition, he simply could not maintain the true limit of perfection indefinitely.
Therefore, Chen Anxia temporarily suppressed this idea and planned to try it again after his overall physical fitness improved.
As for now, the reason why Chen Anxia has been able to bear such a huge burden in such a short period of time, and even to the point of exhaustion, is that...
The reason is that the Water Breathing Technique also puts a huge burden on the body. When the two are combined, the burden multiplies, which is why the body enters a state of exhaustion after only such a short time.
However, Chen Anxia was not thinking about these things at the moment.
Because Chen Anxia also saw Makomo, Sabito, and Urokodaki Sakonji's former disciples.
This was the first time Chen Anxia had ever seen a human soul, and while he was filled with emotion, he was also extremely curious.
Subconsciously, Chen Anxia wanted to use the Eye of Analysis (incomplete) to analyze the soul data of Makomo and Sabito.
I wanted to see if I could glimpse the mysteries of the human soul through this.
But the result left Chen Anxia somewhat disappointed.
Because the Eye of Analysis (incomplete) is simply unable to analyze the soul data of Makomo and Sabito.
Chen Anxia knew from this result that the existence of the soul had touched the blind spot of the Eye of Analysis (incomplete), and that only the complete version of the Eye of Analysis could probably analyze the soul.
Of course, Makomo and Sabito had no idea what Chen Anxia was thinking. If they did, they would probably find it unbelievable.
