Discussion of the Upper Ranks 2

"Perhaps we really need to contact the government to see if we can get their support and ask them to help us find Muzan."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki broke the silence in the room with his words.

Upon hearing what Kagaya Ubuyashiki said, Teiichi, and then frantically racked his brains for a way to dissuade Kagaya Ubuyashiki from this idea.

He hadn't considered that Kagaya Ubuyashiki might fail. First of all, Kagaya Ubuyashiki ability to be friendly, just the fact that Muzan's Muzan ability was exposed...

Teiichi doesn't believe that many of those in power can resist.

Only a minority can truly take life and death lightly; most people, especially those with power and influence, would love to live a few more years.

Moreover, in this era of rapid technological advancement, those who have witnessed technology leading this country to prosperity will surely want to capture Muzan and dissect him.

But these are not the main issues. The main issue is that once the government intervenes, the Demon Slayer Corps may become less pure in the future, and things may even spiral out of control.

Just as Teiichi was still pondering how to persuade Kagaya Ubuyashiki to abandon this idea, Kanae spoke up from the side:

"If we're thinking of relying on ordinary people to find the Upper Rank demons or even the Demon King, I think we should abandon that idea."

Upon hearing Kanae's words, Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked, "Is there a problem?"

Kanae nodded. "The Upper Rank are incredibly powerful. If we try to find them using ordinary people, I'm afraid that finding them would mean our own death."

In the Demon Slayer Corps ' records, how many Pillars have been killed by Upper Rank? And have we obtained any information about the Upper Rank from that? Even Pillars struggle to communicate with Upper Rank directly, let alone ordinary people.

Kanae's words shattered everyone's idea of contacting the government.

Indeed, in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps, there has been no shortage of encounters with Upper Rank Pillars, and the Upper Rank have not been replaced for a hundred years.

Even so, the Demon Slayer Corps had virtually no information about the Upper Rank.

Since even the Pillars couldn't get any messages from the Upper Rank Moons, it seemed impossible to rely on ordinary people to find the demons.

"Compared to finding the Upper Rank and the Demon King, I think it's more important to improve the strength of all the team members, including the Pillars," said Teiichi, seeing that the people present seemed somewhat desperate.

Kanae chimed in, "Yes, I think so too."

Seeing that both of the Upper Rank Two had said the same thing, everyone present perked up.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked, "Just how strong is Upper Rank Two?"

Kanae slowly began, "After I encountered Upper Rank Two, he didn't even fight me seriously, but even so, I was quickly driven to the brink of defeat by him."

Upon hearing Kanae's words, everyone present was taken aback.

Although I had anticipated that the Upper Rank would be very strong, I still didn't expect it to be this strong.

Although they have never fought each other, the fact that they were able to stand out from the many Demon Slayer Corps members speaks volumes about their strength.

As Hashira Rank being, he even managed to do something that Upper Rank Two couldn't do when he was serious.

When they first heard that the Flower Hashira Wind Hashira had survived the Upper Rank Two, they thought that although the Upper Rank were strong, two Pillars could hold off an Upper Moon Two, and three Pillars could kill an Upper Rank Two.

That's not entirely wrong. If everyone here, except for Teiichi, were to cultivate for another seven years and then unlock their Demon Slayer Mark and Red Nichirin Blade, they could indeed achieve that level.

Giyu Tomioka looked at Kanae and Teiichi and asked, "So how did you manage to hold out against Upper Rank Two until dawn?"

Kanae slowly said, "This is all thanks to Teiichi. Without him, I definitely wouldn't be sitting here anymore."

When Upper Rank Two fought me, he wasn't even taking it seriously.

When Teiichi, it was a fight to the death between the two sides. Even so, Teiichi managed to hold off Upper Rank Two until dawn.

Upon hearing Kanae's words, everyone's attention naturally turned to Teiichi.

Tengen Uzui looked at Teiichi and asked, "Hey! Are you that strong?"

Despite his victory over Doma, Teiichi was confident that he was now stronger than everyone present, including the Stone Hashira, Gyomei Himejima, but he still humbly replied.

"It's alright."

Tengen Uzui pressed on, "Then do you think any of us here could fight Upper Rank Two?"

Teiichi glanced at everyone present, thought for a moment, and, in order to avoid any misjudgment of the Upper Rank's strength, began to criticize.

"Excuse my bluntness, but if we're talking about dealing with Upper Rank Two, I'm afraid all of you here..."

"If it were close to dawn, there might still be a sliver of a chance. But if it were the middle of the night, or even earlier, even if Upper Rank Two wasn't serious, it probably wouldn't last until dawn."

Upon hearing Teiichi's words, Tengen Uzui felt he had been underestimated and angrily retorted, "Hey, you bastard, are you just bragging? Weren't you seriously injured when you killed Lower Rank Three and became a Pillar last year? In less than a year, you've gone from struggling to Lower Rank Three to being able to Upper Two?"

Upon hearing Tengen Uzui's words, Teiichi was momentarily speechless. He had indeed been seriously injured when he Lower Rank Three last year, but that was because he had been hit by Lower Rank Three's Blood Demon Art and was on the verge of death. It might be an exaggeration to say that he had lost one-hundredth of his strength, but it was definitely less than one-tenth.

Unless you're like Tanjiro, who can spot a demon the moment it appears nearby, no matter how strong you are, you won't fare well against Lower Rank Three.

Fortunately, there is no similar concept of Blood Demon Art among the Upper Rank.

After thinking for a moment, Teiichi still spoke up, "If you don't believe me, we can go outside and spar. That way you'll get a general idea of the difference in strength between you and Upper Rank."

Upon hearing Teiichi's words, Tengen Uzui stood up and grinned maliciously twice.

"Hehehe, great, that's exactly what I wanted! I've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time!"

Just as Teiichi was about to stand up and go out to fight Tengen Uzui, Kagaya Ubuyashiki spoke up:

"Tengen, Teiichi, please sit down! We can spar tomorrow. Let's finish sharing the information about Upper Rank Two first!"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was also looking forward to the match between Tengen Uzui and Teiichi.

However, unlike Tengen Uzui, he believed what Kanae and Teiichi.

The reason they didn't stop the two sides from sparring was because, as Kanae and Teiichi had said, it was indeed necessary for the Demon Slayer Corps to witness the strength of the Upper Rank demons.

Upon hearing what Kagaya Ubuyashiki said, Tengen Uzui could only sneer and sit down.
