The attack was so huge, that it was seen from afar.

-A Little Earlier-
After beheading the two demons, Tengen kneels whilst panting very heavily. He coughed once and looked up at Gyutaro's body releasing one final attack. He gasped and screamed, "Kamado!" Tanjiro pants as Tengen continues, "Kamado! Get up! It's not over yet! Run! This isn't over yet! Run!!" Gyutaro finally unleashed the attack that he left suspended for a while. As the attack finally reached the sky, Nezuko's box was flying and she emerged from the box. She used her Blood Demon Art and negated Gyutaro's attack, saving everyone from what would have been their deaths.

-Small Time Skip-
Tanjiro lay on the ground asleep as Nezuko pats his wounded shoulder. She hummed three times before Tanjiro woke up. The first thing he saw was Nezuko's worrying look. He whispered, "Nezuko..." Tanjiro looked at the district and saw it demolished from his previous battle with the Upper Moons. He got up and said, "So awful. The whole place is wrecked." Nezuko bumped into him as he said, "You were the one who saved me, Nezuko? Thanks! Wait! What about the others?" Tanjiro stood up and thought to himself, "Wait... How am I still alive? Wasn't I just poisoned?" He was cut off by Zenitsu's faraway yell, "Tanjiro!" Tanjiro said to himself, "That sounds like Zenitsu!" Tanjiro and Nezuko began to make their way to Zenitsu. When they got close to him, Zenitsu screams, "Tanjiro! I woke up, and my body hurts all over! Both my legs! Are they broken? What's going on? Who did this to me, huh? It really hurts! I'm too scared to look!" Tanjiro responds, "You're okay, then? Thank goodness!" Zenitsu fires back, "I am anything but okay! Not that I don't deserve putt, too, but Inosuke's in bad shape! The sound of his heartbeat is getting fainter and fainter!" Tanjiro asks, "Inosuke! Where is he?" Zenitsu points at a certain location and says, "Over there! He's over there!"
Tanjiro and Nezuko make it to Inosuke's failing body. Tanjiro yells, "Inosuke!! Inosuke! Inosuke, stay with me! Inosuke!" Tanjiro held his wound which had purple markings around the wound and his body. Tanjiro thought, "I can feel it! His heartbeat is growing weaker! I have to neutralize the poison! I know! What about the sunlight? It's no use! Daybreak is still quite a ways off. What's should I do? What should I do? Send a crow to Shinobu-san? No, there won't be enough time! If I don't do something right now, Inosuke will die! Why was my life spared? Why was I the only one?" Tanjiro began to hear up but Nezuko raised her hand and places it on Inosuke's wound. He was ser ablaze from her blood and the poison began to fade and due out. Tanjiro thought with a gasp, "His skin, inflamed by the poison... It's starting to heal!" The fire and the poison went away as Inosuke weakly yelled, "I'm starving! Gimme something to eat!" Tanjiro yelled in relief, "Inosuke! Thank goodness! Thank goodness!" "Knock it off! You're creeping me out!" yelled Inosuke. Tanjiro clung to Inosuke as he cried.

-With Uzui and His Three Wives-
Suma screamed, "Nooooo! Please don't die! Please don't die on us, Tengen-sama! Not after you managed to survive! Not after you won! I can't take it! I can't take it! How are we supposed to deal with demon poison? The antidote's not working! The gods are so cruel! So cruel!" Uzui weakly whispers, "I have some last words to leave you. My life until now-" Suma interrupts him, "If you let Tengen-sama die, I'm never going to pray to you again! No way will o ever forgive you, you hear me?" Makio was fed up with Suma's screaming and yelled, "Come on, shut the hell up! Can't you hear Tengen-sama talking? I'm so going to stuff your mouth with rocks, you moron!" Makio grabs rocks and Suma's hair as Hinatsuru says, "Both of you, quiet down!" Suma held her hand back as she screamed, "Makio-san's tormenting me!" "Shut up, dumbass!" yelled Makio. While their little thing went on, Uzui thought with some occasional rocks flying across his face, "You're kidding me, right? Am I going to die without getting to say my last words? The poison's making my tongue stiff. What am I supposed to do? I still could've left those last words, but... Seriously?" Nezuko pops in with a raised hand. They ask, "What?" She placed her raised hand on Uzui's arm and sets his body on fire. All three are shocked at the sight before them. Suma instantly tackled her and yelled, "Hey! What do you think you're doing? Who are you, anyway? It's way too soon to be creating him! How can you burn him already when he's not even dead yet? I'm going to spank you! I'm very angry with you, young lady!" Uzui chimes in, "Hold on a second! How do you explain this? The poison's left my body!" All three wives are again shocked and embraced the Hashira while they yell, "Tengen-sama!" They begin to cry as Makio says, "I'm so relieved! Truly!" Uzui smiles and says, "You three... Sorry to make you worry." Tanjiro explains, "I think that Nezuko's Blood Demon Art ignited the poison, burning it away. Not that I'm really sure how that works. But please stay still, or your wounds won't heal. I'm so glad that you survived." Uzui asks, "Ho can this even be possible? It's all so confusing." Suma also said, "Thank you!" Uzui adds, "Hey, you better not move either, or you'll die!" Tanjiro puts a stern expression on and says, "I'm going to go search for the demons' heads. I can't rest easy until I find them."
He and Nezuko began to run down a path while looking out for the two demons. Tanjiro says, "Over here, Nezuko! I can smell demon blood!" Tanjiro hid behind a broken roof and thought, "Is that a pool of blood? Demon blood?" He threw a rock at it while the blood didn't react at all. He again thought, "All right! It won't be attacking anymore." He pulled out Yushiro's knife-syringe hybrid and sucked the blood into it. Tanjiro thought, "I was able to collect the blood of an Upper-Rank demon!" Chachamaru meows from under the debris and moves beside Tanjiro. Tanjiro places the blood inside the feline's backpack and instructs, "Take this to Tamayo-san. I'm counting on you!" The feline familiar meows one final time and disappears into the night.
Tanjiro and Nezuko walk around the destroyed district in search of the two as he thought, "There's no one in sight. So Uzui-san's wives managed to evacuate everyone. That's a relief!" Tanjiro sniffed the air and redirected his body towards at as he says, "Nezuko! This way!" As he and her got closer, Tanjiro thought, "The demon scent is getting stronger." From the distance, Gyutaro yelled, "Who the hell gets beheaded by those two bottom-feeders?" Daki yells, "So you were watching after all! Why didn't you save me, then?" They began to go back and forth with Gyutaro starting, "I was battling a Hashira, you know!" "So what if you were? Why didn't you finish him off? You could've just split his head into two!" "I was about to do that!" "Huh?" "But that kid with the earrings was still alive, so I was going to kill him off first! Since you didn't do a damn thing yourself, you could've at least finished off the Hashira!" "Then you should've controlled me so that I could do that! But you did nothing! You let your guard down!" "You shut up!" Tanjiro thought, "They're still alive. Not only that, but they're arguing! But it looks like their bodies are starting to disintegrate." Gyutaro continues, "Look, if you're going to call yourself an Upper-Rank, then you should at least be able to take down two wounded low-level scrubs yourself, idiot!" Daki and Gyutaro again chirped at each other, "Hey, you're the idiot!" "What did you say?" Silence ensued as the two panted. Daki began to tear up and said, "No one as ugly as you... could possibly be my brother! I bet you and I... aren't even related by blood! Since we look nothing alike! You're so useless! Your one-saving grace is your strength! Nothing else! You have no value at all if you lose! You worthless, ugly freak!" Gyutaro got unbelievably angry at those insults and said, "Don't give me that crap! If you were on your own, you'd be long dead by now! How many times have I saved you? Youee the worthless one, and you know it! You're weak, and you have no value whatsoever! I wish I hadn't protected someone like you all this time! If it hadn't been for you, my life would've been different! Right, if it hadn't been for you! Why do I always have to clean up your messes? You just never should've been born-" Tanjiro covered his mouth to keep him from insulting further. Tanjiro says, "That's a lie. You don't really feel that way at all. You don't mean any of that. Try to get along. In this whole world, you two siblings have no one but each other. There's no one who'll forgive you for what you did. You'll be resented, despised and denounced by all those you've killed. Nobody will ever be on your side. So if nothing else, you two... shouldn't be cursing each other out like this!" Daki cried and said, "Why don't you shut up? Don't you dare lecture us! You stupid brat! Get out of here! Just get lost! I'm so pissed! I'm so pissed! Fix this somehow, Onii-chan! I don't want to die, Onii-chan! Onii-chan! Onii-" Daki finally died while Gyutaro yells, "Ume!" Gyutaro thought to himself, "That's right. My little sister's name was Ume. Not Daki. What a god-awful name."
