Chapter 54 Third Brother Successfully Takes Over

The three sat there awkwardly. Rengoku Shujuro sighed and spoke first, feeling it wasn't a big deal...

“Yoriichi, Kokukatsu’s memory is currently malfunctioning, so this might be a way for him to complete his mission more easily. You…”

“I understand, my elder brother is meticulous in everything he does.”

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"It's all that damned Muzan's fault. If it weren't for him, my brother wouldn't have had to go through all this."

As Yoriichi Tsugikuni spoke, his hand tightened its grip on the hilt of his sword without making a sound. Even though he still showed no change in expression, Rengoku Shujuro and Kawakami Akio could sense his anger.

"ah?"

Kawakami Akimi blinked, wondering how this had gotten to him. He looked at Rengoku Shujuro, who also looked completely bewildered.

In the end, Yoriichi Tsugikuni chose to continue his travels. After saying goodbye to the two, he continued on his way.

"Xiao Liu, I don't want to do this anymore."

The first thing Yan Sheng did upon returning to Infinite City was to frantically tap System 1008. He was going on strike because the storyline couldn't be maintained for even a day.

"Honey, you're already halfway done, why don't you keep going a little longer?"

"Where did you get half? The Upper Moon isn't finished yet, and we still have to hide. There's still the main storyline to come."

"Honey, just focus on the main storyline and make sure everything is alright. Think about it, not everyone can live that long. When I finish the story, I'll find a way to help you survive. I'll apply for a formula for a potion that makes you immune to sunlight. If you work hard, you'll be able to do anything when you live to the modern era. You can use your phone, computer, and so on."

1008 couldn't help but make grand promises; he had discovered that if this host was persuaded gently, he would be willing to consider it.

"Can this thing be applied for?"

"Of course, we have everything here, but we can't just take it out casually. But if you maintain the storyline, things will definitely be different."

"Is that so... I'll think about it some more."

Yan Sheng shamefully felt a stirring in his heart.

He's now back to his original form, sitting at the chessboard pondering how he should play from now on. The more he thinks, the more feasible it seems. Since the club is already dead, he might as well ignore it. Anyway, his current setting is that he doesn't remember them. Sorry, scumbag boss.

Without making a sound, Yan Sheng covered his mouth with his hand to hide the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but turn up. He could only pray that Kibutsuji Muzan would have better luck.

After figuring things out, time began to drag on, and Yan Sheng really wanted to go out.

After several days of continuous practice and playing over ninety games of Go for his own amusement, Yan Sheng finally couldn't take it anymore. He was so bored, really. He had nothing to do now, he knew all sixteen forms of Moon Breathing, and he was practically worn out from playing Go.

At that moment, Iwakatsu saw Akaza and angrily questioned Nakime.

"Who are the pipa players above the fifth rank?"

He wants to kill Doma right now. He has been harassing him for some time now, constantly disturbing his cultivation.

"There is Lord Kokushibo, Miss Shiroe, and Mr. Aoyama."

Nakime stopped playing the biwa and replied in a cold voice. She didn't like Akaza's way of speaking, but considering his forgetful nature and his obsession with getting stronger, she accepted it.

"I'm going to launch a blood-level battle against that Green Mountain."

After Akaza finished speaking, he turned around and spontaneously went to talk to Muzan Kibutsuji, saying that he wanted to take over the position immediately.

"what happens."

Iwakatsu appeared beside the two, startling Akaza who was standing nearby.

So fast, I didn't even have time to react.

"It's Mr. Akaza who wants to challenge Mr. Aoyama."

Nakime played the biwa, having already received Muzan Kibutsuji's order to gather people.

who?

Yan Sheng quickly thought it through. The opponent's sudden call for a blood-level battle must be because of Doma. There are only three people above Upper Moon Five, including himself. Aoyama is the Upper Moon Three who wields the long staff.

Shang Xian San

This good news swept away the gloom that Yan Sheng had been feeling these past few days. Great! His mission could finally move forward a little.

Yan Sheng was eager to see it.

Not long after, several demons were teleported here. Yan Sheng also saw Hantengu, who was now Lower Moon Four. It seemed that the foolish demon had been killed.

Iwakatsu turned his head and saw Doma, who was holding plum blossoms, excitedly running towards Akaza. His eyebrows were curved, making his seven-colored eyes very dazzling.

"Your Excellency Akaza~ I miss you so much, why don't you reply to me?"

Iwakatsu swore that this was the first time he had ever seen such a look of disgust on Akaza's face; it seemed he was truly fed up with it.

"Get lost."

Akaza suppressed his anger. He had challenged Doma before, and at that time he wished he could blow Doma's head off.

Unfortunately, he failed, a fact that infuriated him even more. What was most infuriating was that the other party hadn't killed him.

"King Akaza and I are good friends~".

Doma's words still echoed in his ears, making him grit his teeth. Who was his friend?!

"How dare you treat Lord Doma so rudely!"

Mei's voice was clear and pleasant, but her personality was completely at odds with her cool and beautiful appearance; she was spoiled and irritable.

Akaza glanced at her, but he didn't want to argue with a woman, so he turned and left, leaving Mei furious.

Iwakatsu glanced around and could tell that the scumbag boss hadn't been hiring recently. Just when Iwakatsu thought he'd have to keep an eye on things again, Kibutsuji Muzan arrived. He was still dressed in his British attire, his red vertical pupils sweeping over everyone present.

"Okay, hurry up."

As Muzan Kibutsuji finished speaking, Nakime began to play her biwa, and the familiar arena reappeared in Iwakatsu. Unlike before, this time it had expanded several times over.

Akaza and Upper Moon Three, Aoyama, stood facing each other, both relying primarily on physical strength and secondarily on Blood Demon Art. However, Iwakatsu knew that Akaza could only win.

Yan Sheng thought about it carefully for a while and felt that it shouldn't be so fast. At this time, even Upper Moon Five had not yet appeared, and the other party had already climbed to the position in the original work.

"Xiao Liu, I have a feeling something's not right."

Yan Sheng was still worried, so he poked 1008 again. After a thorough check, the other party found nothing wrong and could only offer words of comfort.

"Honey, there will always be some deviations. As long as you make sure that the basic settings remain unchanged and the plot can continue to develop normally, there will be no problem."

Yan Sheng nodded upon hearing this answer. As long as it didn't affect the mission, it was fine. He couldn't very well rush out and tell them to stop fighting.

The battle between the two was about to break out. Akaza pressed his body down and punched the void with all his might. He delivered six consecutive punches at an astonishing speed.

These six consecutive blows landed squarely on Qingshan. He reacted as soon as the first blow hit him, quickly using his enlarged staff to block it, and barely managed to dodge the remaining four punches.

His red eyes narrowed slightly, an impressive ability. But for him, it was child's play. He picked up the long staff, his arm spinning wildly, the powerful air currents causing the surrounding air to churn violently with his movements. He leaped upwards, the staff hurtling rapidly towards Akaza.

Yan Sheng relaxed as he watched the almost hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, wondering if he, a swordsman, could fight his third brother purely with his bare hands.

Well, just in case, just in case I lose, that would be awkward.

As Iwakatsu was thinking, he saw beautiful snowflake shapes appear at Akaza's feet, swirling around him as he moved.

Iwakatsu's expression was complicated. He remembered that this design was the headdress pattern of Akaza's fiancée, Koyuki, and he recalled the dazed look on her face when he first saw her.

It's such a pity, Third Brother is indeed someone people feel sorry for.

"Destructive Kill - Foot Style - Crown First Cut".

With a thud, Akaza's head was blasted open by a powerful blow. This battle ended exceptionally quickly, even to Iwakatsu's surprise; it seems Akaza is growing stronger very rapidly.

"Alright, Akaza will take over the position of Upper Moon Three."

Muzan Kibutsuji was also very satisfied with this loyal subordinate, and didn't care that his Crescent Moon had lost another demon. He waved his hand to let Nakime finish.
