Chapter 39 of Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku.
Summary[]
Sagiri explains to Senta and Yuzuriha that from her experience with being near Gabimaru and fighting Rokurōta she is able perceive Tao and knows how to kill Mu Dan. After learning that Sagiri's Tao can harm him, Mu Dan smiles in delight wondering if she will become Tan in the end, or manage to kill him. Senta suggests that the three of them should cooperate in order to defeat Mu Dan. Mu Dan seemingly vanishes and attempts to attack Sagiri. Seeing through his trick, Yuzuriha restrains Mu Dan using her strings and calls out to Sagiri to attack. Mu Dan then releases a burst of Tao from his mouth to deflect her attack and kicks her away from him. He then commands the Kyoshi to attack Yuzuriha, but they are quickly cut down by Senta. Mu Dan uses his mouth to release one of his hands from Yuzuriha's bindings and sends a Tao attack her way. She senses the attack coming and jumps out of the way and have Senta receive the attack, thanking him in gratitude. Mu Dan dodges Sagiri's attacks but is immobilized by Yuzuriha and Senta's attacks to give Sagiri the chance to land a strike. However, Mu Dan escapes from the range of their attacks by having himself levitate in the air. He then summons large water droplets and sends them crashing down on the three. Sagiri starts to feel fatigued but Yuzuriha informs her that her Tao might be his weakness and that it might be possible to kill him. She then steps out to bind Mu Dan's leg. Seeing her out in the open, Mu Dan sends his attacks towards her, causing her to receive major damage. Refusing to give up, Yuzuriha pulls Mu Dan down, giving Senta the chance to hold him down and calls out for Sagiri to attack him. Sagiri comes in and slices through his stomach, finishing off Mu Dan. Yuzuriha then rejoices in their victory.
