Nakime was beheaded, and the Infinity Castle fell apart.

Muzan, who was releasing a powerful shockwave, was stunned by the change in the Infinity Castle. His first thought was that his shockwave shouldn't have shattered the Infinity Castle.

Indeed, it wouldn't be enough to completely destroy the Infinite City.

However, his shockwave did indeed affect Nakime, who was originally fighting Inosuke in the distance. It can be said that Muzan was largely responsible for the collapse of the Infinity Castle at this point in time.

Muzan unleashed an extremely powerful white shockwave. Tanjiro was only affected by the aftershocks because he was some distance away, but Chinatsu was hit directly at close range.

Hidden beneath this powerful shockwave were streaks of white lightning. Even though Chika knew all of Muzan's skill combinations from the beginning, Muzan's skill animations were too short to be easily defended against.

Although physical injuries can be repaired through the demon body, Muzan's attack caused more mental damage than physical damage.

Chika, who was thrown back by the shockwave, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her eyes gradually lost their luster.

As the Infinity Castle crumbled, everyone was forced to lose their footing, and Muzan and the others were suspended in mid-air, falling downwards.

The ruins of the Infinite City fell to the ground, emitting a series of chaotic and deafening roars.

Muzan landed on the ground with ease, his teeth clenched in a ferocious grin, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with the collapse of the Infinity Castle.

However, when he saw Qianxia lying on the ground not far away, his ferocious face instantly relaxed, and the speed of his change in expression was enough to be recorded as a classic teaching material at the Beijing Film Academy.

"Ha...hahaha...it seems I'm still the better one! But let me also give you a compliment: aside from that man, I would call you the strongest!"

Muzan grinned and walked towards Chinatsu step by step. Just as he was walking towards Chinatsu, one of Chinatsu's fingers, which was lying on the ground, twitched slightly.

Upon seeing this, Muzan instinctively jumped back to create distance between himself and Chika, raising all his bone whips and tube whips as he stared warily at Chika lying on the ground.

She... moved her finger just now?

Could it be that she wasn't actually knocked unconscious by my impact, and is lying on the ground to try and trick me?

Muzan watched Chinatsu warily, hesitant to launch his next attack, fearing that Chinatsu might suddenly get up and stab him.

Using a bone whip to attack from a distance?

That seems a bit risky, let's try another one.

Muzan looked around at the ruins of the Infinite Castle. He then stretched out his bone whip and pipe whip and bound all the surrounding remains together.

"Die!!!"

Muzan used his bone whip and tube whip to support the massive wreckage and hurled it forcefully toward Chika, who was lying on the ground in the distance.

The wreckage was so enormous that even ten or twenty Chikas standing together could crush it into a pulp, let alone one Chika.

Just as the massive chunk of debris was getting closer and closer to Chika, about to smash her into a bloody pulp, a series of displeased voices suddenly rang out.

"Wind Breathing - Fourth Form - Rising Sandstorm!"

"Breath of Rock, Fourth Form, Rhyolite, Swift Conquest!"

"Serpent's Breath, Second Form: Narrow-Headed Venomous Fang!"

"Hinokami Kagura: Radiant Grace!"

"………………"

In an instant, the massive wreckage that had been hovering above Chinatsu was shattered into countless pieces of rock, and Tanjiro and the others landed in front of Chinatsu.

Tanjiro gritted his teeth, gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, stared intently at Muzan, and said, "I will not let you hurt my sister again!"

Muzan looked at the crowd before him, his face showing displeasure as he spread his hands and said, "You're all so stupid. This woman clearly bought you time. You could have easily run away. Once I've eaten this woman and become a perfect being, I might not even bring up your past grievances to pursue your rude behavior. You can simply live on with a sense of relief."

Despite Muzan's mockery, the crowd remained solemn and unaffected. Dawn was fast approaching, and Muzan still possessed a poison that could age him.

As long as we can hold on, we will achieve victory!

The group gripped their Nichirin Blades tightly and charged toward Muzan despite their battered bodies. As they were fully engaged in the battle, dark clouds gradually gathered in the gloomy sky, and rain began to fall.

The rain began to drip, an unexpected event that no one present had anticipated.

Muzan, head held high, gazed at the overcast sky, his pupils widening in excitement, and shouted with a laugh, "I truly am the chosen one! Even the heavens are on my side!!!"

He wielded the bone whips and tube whips that had split off from his body with unbridled abandon, repelling the crowd that surrounded him one by one.

Under such dark clouds and torrential rain, the sun may not even appear by daybreak, which makes the current situation, which was originally able to calculate how much longer it will last, also shrouded in a layer of "dark clouds" as the storm rages.

Raindrops fell on Chinatsu's body. It was Chinatsu's mistake to be hit by Muzan's shockwave at such close range. She was not completely unconscious, but her whole body was numb and her mind was scattered. She was aware of what was happening outside.

"Damn it... I can't move my body... This move is too lewd..." Lying on the ground, Chika struggled with difficulty, trying to recover from the paralysis as quickly as possible, but the effect was not ideal.

Although Tanjiro and the others rested for a while and regained their strength, their injuries would not heal in a short time.

Chinatsu wasn't worried that they would lose in a fight to the death; she was only worried that in the heat of battle, they would all activate their Demon Slayer Marks, wanting to perish together with Muzan. This was something Chinatsu simply couldn't accept.

Victory is just one step away, everyone else is fighting a bloody battle but I am lying on the ground unable to move.

A strong sense of shame welled up inside her, and Chika, lying on the ground, gritted her teeth and forced her body, which was now like a puppet, to move.

Everything seemed to return to the scene when she was first reincarnated, when she was also unable to move. While complaining about her absurd body, she struggled to crawl from inside the house to the snow outside and eventually lost consciousness.

A series of past memories flashed through Chika's mind. Just as she was wondering if she was having a replay of memories, the scene of meeting the Tsugikuni brothers on the other side of life and death also appeared...
