"15 minutes left until sunrise!" Kiriya Ubuyashiki yelled.
Tanjiro and other slayers were struggling to stall Muzan until sunrise.
Tanjiro was about to use his next move when he sensed something.
A Demon! He smelled a Demon and it wasn't Muzan!
"I smell a Demon!" Tanjiro exclaimed catching everyone off guard.
"How is that possib-" Sanemi was cut off as he dodged a slash that was directed towards him.
"You just dodged it. What less to expect from a Hashira!" The Demon said appearing into the light.
"Uppermoon 5? But Tokito killed Uppermoon 5!" Iguro exclaimed.
"Killed? Oh you must be talking about the previous Uppermoon 5. I'm the new Uppermoon 5- Obutsu!" Obutsu said laughing demonically.
" My greetings to Muzan sama. Sorry for being late" Obutsu greeted Muzan.
"Shut up filth and stall these slayers!"
"As you wish Muzan sama."
"Don't pay attention to him! He's just a distraction! Only a few minutes are left! Don't let Muzan escape!" Kiriya exclaimed.
The slayers continued using their forms on Muzan stalling him.
"This is such a pain in the neck!" Sanemi exclaimed.
The other Demon advanced it way to the slayers who were stalling Muzan and raised its weapon, a scythe to advance its attacks on them.
"Thunder Breathing , First Form: Thunder Clap and flash Sixfold!" Zenitsu used the form cutting off the demon's hands and legs and nearly the head.
"Tch , You missed the head! Wouldn't have made a difference tho!" The demon advanced a slash at Zenitsu when Inosuke came between them.
"Don't you dare hurt Monitsu or any of my friends otherwise I'll cut you into pieces!" Inosuke threatened.
"Oh you piece of filth! You think you can cut me? Into pieces , huh? Keep dreaming!"
"I'll go for his head , others please keep stalling Muzan, otherwise everything will be in vain!" Sanemi exclaimed.
"You think you can kill Muzan sama? Not until I am alive!" Obutsu exclaimed.
" Blood demon art..."
"Wind breathing..."
" Red Sandstorm!"
" Eight Form: Primary Ga.."
A haze of red sand like thing blinded everyone , making them unable to see anything.
"Wind Breathing third Form: Clean Storm Wind Tree " Sanemi cleared the surroundings with his form.
The sun had rosen.
"He is as strong as an Uppermoon 3. He must've recieved a large amount of Muzan's blood!" Sanemi exclaimed.
"Wait no one is here? Neither Muzan nor that demon! " Giyuu stated.
"What are you saying?! " Sanemi said looking for them.
"This can only mean one thing..." Tanjiro started.
"Kibutsuji Muzan has escaped!"
