Earlier

Tanjiro could feel an unfamiliar sensation that he had felt before this from the previous battle. But he had never bothered to dive deep into it. Adrenaline is rushing throughout his body. He grip his sword tightly as his breathing become faster. 

Tanjiro had himself going on a trance. He didn't do anything other than standing. Urogi is watching the boy that stood up without doing nothing. Urogi didn't understand why the boy is just standing there...menacingly. What's with this kid? Did he become to scared to the point he can't even move?

I'll finish him quickly, then return back to those guys! Urogi dashes through the sky with his claws ready to pounce on the boy. Urogi is perfectly on Tanjiro's blind spot. With addition that it's nighttime, Urogi is confident that he won't be detected by the kid.

*Fwoosh!*

Urogi dashes through the forest, his sharp talons ready to make a mark on Tanjiro. As he got closer to Tanjiro, he attacked Tanjiro. He's expecting to see some blood. Tanjiro ducked from that attack, launching a counterattack.

*Slash!*

Urogi expecting to see some blood, but it wasn't Tanjiro's blood. It was his blood. Both of his talons were cut by Tanjiro. Urogi was shocked. He backs away to observe things from afar. What just happened? This kid..he slashed my legs!

Urogi was surprised that Tanjiro actually could sense where did he come from. Urogi now knew he can't do any surprise attacks anymore. He need to find an opening to attack again. Urogi is sure that the kid can't do anything while he's this high on the air.

Tanjiro turned around, he looked straight towards Urogi gave him a death stare. Urogi is again surprised. He could detect me when I'm this far?! Tanjiro didn't say anything. Infact, Tanjiro gave Urogi a smile. A mocking smile. This brat! Urogi got pissed.

*Fwoosh!*

"Don't underestimate me, brat!!" Urogi shouted, before he decided to pounce on the kid again. The kid was mocking him, an Upper Rank! While the kid is just a mere Demon Slayer! Not even a Hashira! That was insulting for him.

*Whoosh!*

"You're dead this time, brat!" Urogi shouted in anger. Tanjiro looked at him, with a smirk on his face. Urogi is shock at what the kid just did. His feet just left the ground, and he is coming here with full speed.

*Tap!*

"You're the one who's dead, fucker!!" Tanjiro just jumped straight towards Urogi. Urogi was shocked at the sight of mere human that could jump this high in the air towards him. The mocking smile didn't leave Tanjiro's face at all.

Hinokami Kagura: Sunflower Thrust!

Utilizing the tip of his blade, he thrusted his sword right on his mouth. Particularly his tongue so he could prevent Urogi from screaming again. He's light! I knew it! Otherwise, he couldn't fly around and attack me with wings that big! 

*Bam!*

Both of them hit the mansion's wall. Urogi tried his best to escape from Tanjiro's grasp, but Tanjiro won't let him. Urogi hated it. He hated the mocking smile the kid gave him. "Don't you mock me!!" Urogi charged up another one of his sound-wave attack.

*Screech!*

"Shut your fucking mouth you pigeon bastard!!" Tanjiro's ears bleed from that as well as his nose. Yet he resisted that with his sheer will. He raised his head and lean backward. He headbutted Urogi, causing the wall behind them to collapse.

*Bam!*

Present Time

Everyone got their eyes on Tanjiro. Especially the demons who were surprise at how Tanjiro is clearly overpowering Urogi. Seeing their gazes, Tanjiro only replied with a smile. He knew that his chances of survival against them are low, but he won't go down without a fight.
