A violent tremor resounded through the sky.
Even those who had been evacuated by the Demon Slayer Corps to several kilometers away could clearly feel the tremors beneath their feet and the enormous sound from afar.
That was the sonic boom generated when Muzan Kibutsuji swung the strongest tentacles that extended from his legs when he unleashed his ultimate attack.
"The power and range of this move..."
Relying on Mirror Body Flicker Technique to Muzan Kibutsuji's attack, Meikyō was forced to deactivate his Transformation Jutsu.
As for the other pillars, most of them were also rendered Muzan Kibutsuji of fighting by Muzan's full-force attack.
Only a few powerful Pillars, such as Rengoku Kyojuro and Himejima Gyomei, who had mastered the Transparent World, could barely withstand this attack. Even so, they suffered considerable injuries.
"So... you're not Tsugikuni Yoriichi, but just a clueless brat!"
Muzan Kibutsuji stared coldly at Meikyō, his tone chilling.
He felt a profound sense of humiliation at being mocked!
"Ah, I am indeed not Mr. Yoriichi, but I think I can become the second Muzan Kibutsuji Tsugikuni Yoriichi in Muzan's heart, provided that Muzan Kibutsuji can survive tonight."
Meikyō once again used Mirror Body Flicker Technique and charged towards Muzan Kibutsuji.
This time, however, the other pillars could offer him far less help.
But perhaps the belligerence within the Uchiha bloodline was fully awakened at this moment, or perhaps for other reasons, the pressure he endured while fighting Muzan Kibutsuji gave Meikyō a sense of enjoyment.
He enjoys the feeling of constantly pushing his limits under pressure!
Sun Breathing, Uchiha Style Swordsmanship, the Transparent World, the Sharingan, and so on—all the things that Meikyō possessed that could play a role in the battle against Muzan Kibutsuji were rapidly integrated together.
Even Mental Energy is constantly being tempered and refined in this life-and-death struggle, leading to an improvement in the quality of Chakra.
Because Chakra is essentially a combination of Mental Energy and Physical Energy, improving either Mental Energy or Physical Energy can effectively enhance the quality of Chakra.
He seemed to sense a thin membrane; once he broke through it, he could integrate all the skills he currently possessed and further solidify his strength.
Muzan Kibutsuji a cold laugh.
He naturally sensed the changes that occurred in his enemy during his fight with Meikyō.
But he knew very well that everyone present had been injured to some extent.
And once the wound is infected by his blood, no one can survive for more than five minutes!
And now, there is still a full half hour until dawn.
That's more than enough!
Five minutes later.
Muzan Kibutsuji realized something was wrong.
How come none of these people are alright?
Even after a few minutes of rest, he regained much of his fighting strength and once again picked up his sword to fight him fiercely.
As the moon had already set and a faint white tinge appeared in the eastern sky, Muzan Kibutsuji to panic.
Twenty-five minutes!
Are we really going to let them drag this out until dawn?
No, I have to escape!
Make good use of these last twenty-five minutes to escape!
Muzan Kibutsuji didn't notice was that his hair had turned completely white, wrinkles were beginning to appear on his face, and his power was gradually and steadily declining.
"Boom!"
A shockwave emanating from Muzan Kibutsuji and covering all 360 degrees instantly appeared.
All of Meikyō's clones instantly shattered, and several Nichirin Blade given to the Shadow Clone fell to the ground with a clatter.
Although Meikyō's main body used Mirror Body Flicker Technique to allow her Shadow Clone to use a move to help her defend, she was still sent flying by this attack.
"Boom!"
Meikyō's entire body was smashed into the wall, and the intense pain made him feel as if his bones were about to fall apart.
He suffered severe trauma.
A shimmering green light appeared in Meikyō's palm, soothing the pain.
Fortunately, in order to create a counterfeit version of the Blue Spider Lily, he made great progress in his Chakra control and Medical Ninjutsu by introducing toxins and pigments into the seeds of the Spider Lily so that they could bloom directly in a short time.
He had already mastered the Mystical Palm Technique, and now was the perfect time to put it to use.
Now's the time, run!
Seeing that Meikyō had been defeated, Muzan turned and ran Muzan Kibutsuji hesitation.
However, the next moment, a Pillar and all the Demon Slayer Corps members surrounded him.
"Muzan Kibutsuji! This time, you can't escape no matter what!"
Rengoku Kyojuro cuts through the iron path with unwavering resolve.
Meikyō's strength was so great that Muzan Kibutsuji had to concentrate most of his power on dealing with Meikyō, while ignoring the others.
"Sun Breathing - Eleventh Form - Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance!"
"The Water Breathing, the Tenth Form, the Constant Flux!"
"Wind Breathing - Ninth Form - Idaten Typhoon!"
"Stone Breathing, Fifth Form: Tile Wheel Gyobu!"
"Insect Breathing, Centipede Dance, Mukade Belly!"
"Serpent Breathing - Third Form: Coil Choke!"
"Love Breathing - Sixth Form - Cat-Legged Winds of Love!"
"Sound Breathing, Fifth Form, Resounding String Performance!"
Countless attacks Muzan Kibutsuji down on Muzan.
Even someone as strong as Muzan Kibutsuji couldn't easily break through the encirclement and was entangled in place, unable to escape.
There are still fifteen minutes until dawn.
"Damn it, damn it, you all deserve to die!"
Muzan Kibutsuji, Muzan unleashed his ultimate attack once again.
Another shockwave exploded out.
This time, Meikyō wasn't there to help them share most of the pressure.
In just a moment, weaker Pillars like Kochō Shinobu, the Tokito Brothers, and Kanroji Mitsuri, who had just reached Pillar-level strength, were slammed against the wall and received the same treatment as Meikyō.
Meanwhile, powerful Pillars such as Rengoku Kyojuro, Shinazugawa Sanemi, Himejima Gyomei Uzui Tengen, Iguro Obanai still maintained a certain fighting strength and Muzan Kibutsuji tried to stop Muzan.
"Puff!"
Tomioka Giyuu was grazed by Muzan Kibutsuji's attack and couldn't help but spit out blood.
If it weren't for Shinazugawa Sanemi and Rengoku Kyojuro risking their lives to save him, he would probably have died on the spot!
"If you can't do it, then don't get in my way!"
"Shinazugawa Sanemi said viciously."
"Giyu, please pull yourself together!"
Rengoku Kyojuro parried the attack once more and encouraged Tomioka Giyuu.
He was the first to discover Tomioka Giyuu's perilous situation, and he had already lost an eye while saving his comrade.
Fortunately, thanks to the Transparent World, Rengoku Kyojuro's ability to fight is not affected by the loss of his vision, despite losing an eye.
Uzui Tengen and Iguro Obanai stood back to back, struggling to withstand Muzan Kibutsuji's attacks.
Uzui Tengen, having lost an arm, can only wield a sword in one hand while using his other arm to hold the Black-Gold Nichirin Blade, continuing his fight against Muzan Kibutsuji.
