Tsugikuni Yoriichi: What Do You Take Life For?!

"Are you planning to drag me here until sunrise?"

Muzan glared at the group of Pillars who surrounded him with Muzan Kibutsuji expression.

The Lower Rank demons of the Twelve Kizuki were all killed by the Pillars in the Infinite Castle.

After Uzui Tengen killed Daki, he quickly sensed the death of Kokushibo, and then, just after leaving the Infinite Castle, he sensed the death of Nakime.

He admitted that this group of Pillars was quite powerful, second only to the group Tsugikuni Yoriichi, which caused the deaths of all Twelve Kizuki. However, as long as Tsugikuni Yoriichi did not appear in front of him, he was not afraid of anyone!

After eliminating these Demon Slayer Corps members, he can establish a new Twelve Kizuki!

"If I'm not mistaken, it was the two of you who killed Kokushibo, right? And that monk, and you... the swordsman who mastered the Sun Breathing, Doma and Akaza, I suppose they also died at your hands?"

Muzan Kibutsuji coldly swept his gaze over the two people in the group who had just inflicted the most damage on him.

"The one who killed Upper Rank One? It wasn't us, but another Sun Breathing swordsman who was stronger than me!"

A slight smile appeared on Rengoku Kyojuro's face.

After leaving the Infinite Castle, he knew that Meikyō's plan had succeeded.

Next, when Meikyō, whose strength is even greater than his and Himejima Gyomei, arrives, it will be Muzan Kibutsuji's death day!

"Sun Breathing swordsman stronger than you? Interesting."

Muzan Kibutsuji chuckled lightly, indicating his disdain.

Anyway, it can't possibly be Tsugikuni Yoriichi.

"The other Sun Breathing swordsman he mentioned is me."

A calm, deep voice reached Muzan Kibutsuji's ears.

Muzan Kibutsuji turned his head and his face visibly froze.

Red hair, a high ponytail, a pendant, a red haori, and this Nichirin Blade that had cut him more than 1,300 times in an instant...

With one hand holding his sword, Meikyō walked slowly and steadily toward Muzan Kibutsuji, followed closely by Iguro Obanai and Kanroji Mitsuri.

"What's so interesting? What's so funny? What do you take life for?"

Upon hearing those familiar words, Muzan Kibutsuji wanted to run away, but he sadly discovered that, having been poisoned by Tamayo's specially prepared poison, he could no longer instantly split into more than a thousand offspring as he had three hundred years ago.

This means that he has to face Tsugikuni Yoriichi alone!

"Why don't you understand? Why... do you want to forget? Has the mark I left in your heart faded away after all this time I've been gone?"

Meikyō swung the Nichirin Blade in his hand, and as he inhaled, a few sparks appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Tsugikuni Yoriichi..."

Muzan Kibutsuji's voice trembled slightly.

This was also the first time that the other Pillars had felt that emotion called fear from Muzan Kibutsuji.

But what intrigued them was: who was this guy?

"Rest assured, everyone. This... Yuan Yi is someone we can trust. He was the one who helped us kill Kokushibo, the Upper Rank One."

Rengoku Kyojuro, quick-witted, explained to the people around him.

Everyone suddenly realized.

On their way to find Muzan Kibutsuji, Ubuyashiki Kagaya had already told them through Kasugai Crow that Upper Rank One had been killed by Meikyō, Rengoku Kyojuro, and Himejima Gyomei.

In other words, the man in red in front of us is Meikyō in disguise.

In retrospect, it has indeed achieved good results.

Muzan Kibutsuji felt even more uneasy.

"Black Death... no, Tsugikuni Yoriichi, he was your brother, how could you bring yourself to kill him?"

Muzan Kibutsuji help but say.

"So, I have another reason to kill you, don't I? Besides, my brother's death was his own choice."

Meikyō lowered her eyes and answered calmly.

He was trying to stall for time as much as possible, to bring dawn closer.

However, Muzan Kibutsuji was also stalling for time, trying his best to self-destruct into his offspring to escape.

But in the end, Muzan Kibutsuji was still unable to do it.

Left with no other choice, Muzan Kibutsuji had to muster his courage and fight Tsugikuni Yoriichi before looking for an opportunity to escape.

Seeing that she could no longer stall with words, Meikyō had no choice but to take action!

"Sun Breathing, First Form, Dance!"

"Sun Breathing, Second Form: Azure Sky!"

"Sun Breathing, Twelfth Form: Flame Dance!"

They can fight!

These were the thoughts that flashed through the minds of both sides simultaneously at the very first moment of the battle.

Meikyō could sense that there was a certain gap between himself and Muzan Kibutsuji, but it was definitely not to the point where he had no chance of winning.

Even though he was the one being suppressed by Muzan Kibutsuji.

Muzan Kibutsuji was also pleasantly surprised.

"Hahahaha... Tsugikuni Yoriichi, you've gotten weaker! Could it be that you've weakened after waiting these past three hundred years to kill me? I knew it, I knew it! You definitely wouldn't allow yourself to become a demon, so you must have paid a price to survive this long! Hahaha!!!"

Muzan Kibutsuji was laughing maniacally.

He felt that today was the day for him to eliminate Tsugikuni Yoriichi and rid himself of his inner demons!

"Is that so? Then if I become two, three, or even ten, how will Muzan Kibutsuji deal with it?"

Meikyō snorted coldly, his figure blurred, and he split into more than ten clones.

He then grasped the Demon Slayer Blade himself, and the Shadow Clone mixed among the clones used the carbon black Nichirin Blade and other Demon Slayer Blade Strike. He then used Senjutsu Chakra to further transform these Nichirin Blade into Crimson Blade, fully activating the solar energy of the Scarlet Crimson Sand Iron within them.

[This guy... really didn't turn into a ghost?]

Muzan Kibutsuji could hardly believe what he was seeing.

When did Tsugikuni Yoriichi learn this kind of Blood Demon Art skill?

"Everyone! Let's go help too!"

Rengoku Kyojuro shouted, urging everyone to rush forward.

Before setting off, they had all been injected with the antidote that Tamayo and Kochō Shinobu had developed for Muzan Kibutsuji's blood, and the effects of the medicine would last until sunrise.

The most deadly threat Muzan Kibutsuji to them has disappeared.

Now, it's Muzan Kibutsuji's turn to feel the pressure.

Now, each Pillar, through cooperation, clashed their Nichirin Blade against each other, unleashing the solar energy of the Scarlet Crimson Sand Iron within them, transforming it into Crimson Blade, granting it the ability to harm Muzan Kibutsuji. Even Kochō Shinobu, whose grip strength was inadequate, activated it with the help of Himejima Gyomei.

Even more troublesome are those pillars that have opened the Transparent World, posing a greater threat to Muzan Kibutsuji. With Meikyō bearing most of the pressure, they are able to effectively deal damage.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Explosions continued to occur, and deep craters appeared one after another on the ground.

This effect was caused by the shockwave emanating from the mouth on Muzan Kibutsuji's arm. It was invisible and intangible. If it weren't for the help of several Pillars who had mastered the Transparent World, someone would probably have already died in this round.
