Horitake picked up the Ubuyashiki siblings and placed them on a nearby branch:

"Hold on to the branch next to you and sit firmly. Don't fall down."

The two children could no longer remain calm. They were as obedient as quails and listened to whatever Horitake said.

After calming down a little, Ubuyashiki Teriya thanked Horitake:

"Mr. Horitake, thank you for saving us."

Horitake waved his hand, not really caring:

"It's just a piece of cake."

Looking at the rolling earth below, Ubuyashiki Hinai looked a little unhappy:

"Mr. Horitake, could this be caused by the burrowing ghost?"

"That's right, this guy is making such a big move just to catch us all in one fell swoop."

Ubuyashiki Hinai was worried and anxious:

"Although the news has been passed back to the Demon Slayer Corps, the support from the team has not arrived so quickly. We must hold on for a while until the pillars arrive.……"

Before she finished her words, the ground below underwent a new round of changes. The vortex-shaped ground sinkhole with a radius of several dozen meters actually began to move, and began to move towards the side where everyone was hiding!

Soon, the scope of the ground sinkhole affected the several wisteria trees where they were!

The swirling mud began to crackle and break the roots of the wisteria trees, and the trees began to shake and become unstable.

The Ubuyashiki siblings panicked, and the other people in the other trees also panicked.

"This is to kill them all.……"

Horitake calmly directed everyone:

"Don't panic, spread out, don't gather together, move to other trees, the ground is not sinking that fast, be careful, don't fall down."

With Horitake's command, everyone felt like they had a backbone. Following Horitake's order, seven or eight people dispersed around and climbed up different wisteria trees to stay away from the sinkhole.

"Mitsuri!"Hori Gaku called Mitsuri over.

""Master Horitake, what's the matter?"

Horitake handed the Ubuyashiki siblings to Mitsuri:

"The two children are now in your care. Take them away from here and jump onto another tree."

Mitsuri took the Ubuyashiki siblings and asked Horitake with concern:

"What about you, Lord Horitake?"

"Me?" Hori Gaku excitedly drew out his Nichirin Sword:"I will meet this burrowing ghost. If possible, kill him here and don't let him live any longer!" The vortex-shaped sinkhole has already affected this place. The roots below are constantly cracking. This wisteria tree is already very unstable.

Mitsuri held the two children, keeping her balance while looking at Hori Gaku worriedly.

Hori Gaku gave him a reassuring look.

Nodding, Mitsuri made a decision:

""Be careful, Master Horitake."

After saying that, Mitsuri held the two children, jumped away from the tree, and moved to another tree.

They stood on the wisteria tree and looked at Horitake worriedly.

Not only Mitsuri and Ubuyashiki, but other people around were also looking at Horitake nervously, waiting for Horitake's next move.

Finally, the wisteria tree could not hold on and collapsed!

Together with the branches and trunk, the whole tree fell on the rolling ground.

However, because the tree was too huge, the surging ground subsidence could not swallow the tree for a while, and the tree was stuck on the soil.

Horitake on the tree was still standing steadily, but he was standing on the collapsed tree trunk.

Looking at the large area of surging soil in front of him, Horitake snorted coldly:

"Humph! Playing tricks! Thunder Breathing, Type 2, Chidori!"

Hori Gaku raised the Sun Blade and started the Breath of Thunder!

Bright purple lightning wrapped around Hori Gaku. With the Sun Blade as the center, the lightning flowed along Hori Gaku's arms and gathered on the Sun Blade!

When the lightning on the Sun Blade accumulated to a certain extent... the Sun Blade flashed brightly, like a thousand birds singing!

The people around were stunned when they saw this shocking scene!

Hori Gaku saw the location of the underground ghost through his spiritual vision. He was in the deepest and center of the mud vortex!

Standing on the tree trunk, Hori Gaku waved the thousand birds on the Sun Blade and stabbed fiercely at the location of the underground ghost!

The thousand birds screamed! With bright purple lightning, it broke through the layers of mud and hit directly down!

Everyone vaguely heard a scream from underground and saw a flash of light underground. The surging mud stopped, the vortex-shaped sinkhole stagnated, and the ground became calm again.

Mitsuri, who was far away, watched this scene and whispered:

"Is it over?"

No.

They couldn't see it, but Horitake could see it clearly through his spiritual vision.

The power of Chidori was indeed very great. It pierced and exploded half of the body of the burrowing ghost with one blow. Unfortunately, it didn't hit the head of the burrowing ghost because of the obstruction of the soil.

After such a fierce blow, the burrowing ghost sank into the ground and quickly healed and regenerated.

Horitake stood on the tree trunk with a knife in his hand. He turned around and looked in another direction with a serious expression.

Boom... the ground shook again.

The people around were watching the situation here nervously. This time, it was not a sinkhole, but... bang! A huge arm made of compressed soil came out of the soil, Climbed to the ground!

Then, another arm came out of the mud, followed by the head, upper body, waist, lower body, and two legs.

Finally, a rock giant that was completely compressed and gathered from mud and rocks, more than ten meters high, appeared in front of everyone!

Looking at this rock giant, Mitsuri's face turned pale.

The people around were even more miserable. Facing this terrifying rock giant, they were almost scared to death, and some even almost fell under the tree.

It can't be blamed on them for being timid, as they have never encountered such a big scene.

Unlike the frightened people, Horitake looked at the rock giant that was more than ten meters high and smiled:

"Hehehe... If you keep hiding down there and don't come out, I don't have any good way to deal with you. Now that you've come out, can I still let you go?"

Through his psychic vision, Hori Gaku clearly saw the location of the underground ghost.

He was hiding inside the rock giant, where he could avoid the sunlight and control the entire rock giant!

Looking at Hori Gaku standing on the tree trunk, the rock giant let out a beast-like roar, raised his legs, and stomped on Hori Gaku to death!

Hori Gaku calmly activated the Thunder Breathing, and with arcs of electricity on his body, he dodged here.

Boom! The rock giant stepped on empty air and broke the tree in half!

The rock giant turned his head and saw that Hori Gaku had stood on the collapsed torii gate at some point.

He seemed angry, and rushed over with a roar, swinging his giant fist at Hori Gaku.

Hori Gaku used the same trick again to dodge, and the next moment, he actually flashed onto the rock giant's shoulder.

The rock giant stood up and waved his hand to slap himself. The rock giant tried to hit his shoulder, but Hori Gaku dodged it again.

After so many times, the people watching the fight around understood.

The rock giant's strength is indeed terrifying, but his speed is not good, and his flexibility is very poor, so he can't hit Hori Gaku at all.

In this way, Mitsuri and the others are relieved.

Of course, hiding like this is not Hori Gaku's style.

With a burst of electric arcs, Hori Gaku stood on a wisteria tree in the distance, looking at the rock giant from a distance, and keeping a certain distance from him.

The rock giant was also happy about this.

He stretched his hands into the soil and began to control, rub and compress the soil, and instantly compressed a rock ball with a diameter of three or four meters.

Just like throwing a shot put, the rock giant threw a rock ball at Hori Gaku!

The huge and hard rock ball came whistling!

Hori Gaku was unmoved:

"Lightning Breathing, Second Form, Chidori!"

The Chidori, flashing with purple lightning, appeared again on Horitake's Sun Blade. Horitake swung the Chidori and smashed the incoming rock ball with one blow!
