Chapter 26: Divine Punishment
You Xiaohun was rushing forward, passing through one city wall after another.
Zirong's voice drifted over: "Ha! You've really become something now, even taking the knife for someone else."
You Xiaohun continued walking, "Xuan Mi is my friend."
Zi Rong snorted coldly: "You know who it is because of you. Don't blame me for not reminding you. We don't belong here."
You Xiaohun's expression darkened. She was usually eloquent, but for a moment she couldn't find any words to refute him.
As You Xiaohun approached his destination, he saw the soldiers gathered in a single place, maintaining a defensive formation. Seeing this, You Xiaohun felt relieved, thankful that they hadn't acted on their own.
She quickened her pace and stepped forward to ask, "What's the situation now?"
"Our lord has ordered us to stay where we are. The crow just sent back a message saying that Muzan is not far ahead, and his exact location has been roughly determined." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
You Xiaohun looked in the direction he pointed, his expression becoming extremely serious as he said to everyone, "Later, follow my instructions and do not act on your own."
Hearing this, everyone nodded and responded in unison: "Understood!"
Fortunately, You Xiaohun and the team members have become very familiar with each other during the pillar training, so cooperating with each other should not be a problem.
"Okay, let's move!" With You Xiaohun's order, she moved and took the lead in the team, leading everyone towards the location where Muzan was.
When they finally reached Muzan's hiding place, the sight before them shocked everyone. A massive flesh cocoon hovered in mid-air, with countless flesh tubes extending from it like eerie tentacles, firmly holding the cocoon in place. The cocoon's surface was constantly surging, and the entire scene was filled with a sickening, terrifying atmosphere.
Seeing this, You Xiaohun immediately gave orders: "Everyone, listen up! Disperse and retreat, don't come near!"
"The fire virtue of heaven and earth will burn all things to ashes. I obey the order of the ancestors and request you to attack here with fire. Hurry up and follow the command." Several talismans were raised into the air and shot towards the cocoon like sharp arrows.
At the same time, You Xiaohun swung the peach wood sword and launched a killing move: "Spirit Breathing, Zero Style, Kill the Evil!"
Suddenly, the flesh cocoon began to wriggle violently, and several flesh vines swung out, striking You Xiaohun like steel whips. With nowhere to gain leverage in midair, she was forced to retract her momentum, spinning around to block the blow with her sword.
"Bang!" The sword collided with the flesh vine, sparks flying everywhere. At this moment, the fire attack talisman had already attached to the flesh cocoon, instantly igniting a raging fire, burning several bloody holes, and dark red blood flowed out.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The huge cocoon of flesh was beating violently and rhythmically like a heart.
The next moment, accompanied by a burst of explosions, the flesh cocoon exploded, and countless sticky liquids splashed out. Muzan suddenly jumped out from it.
At this moment, his body was covered with sharp fangs, and his white hair was disheveled, which shocked You Xiaohun.
It seems that Miss Tamayo's medicine is working!
Muzan said to Tamayo as if no one was around: "Tamayo, what's going on? It seems your medicine has no effect at all."
Tamayo's eyes burned with anger and hatred: "You...will go to hell...today...give me back my husband and child..."
Muzan laughed disdainfully: "Then die immediately and return to the family you killed." He crushed Tamayo's head mercilessly.
You Xiaohun on the side exclaimed: "Ms. Zhu Shi!" Her eyes instantly turned red.
Muzan then slowly turned his head, as if he had just realized there was someone next to him: "You are quite brave, it was you who attacked me just now, I almost forgot about you, an ant. Now that you are here, then turn into nutrients for me."
Muzan's arms instantly turned into two ferocious whips that attacked You Xiaohun. Having experienced the power of the whips before, she carefully resisted and looked for an opportunity to counterattack.
At the same time, You Xiaohun secretly made a covert gesture to the soldiers who had been hiding in various corners nearby.
The soldiers understood and sprang into action. From all directions, small bottles were flung towards Wuzan. Seeing this, You Xiaohun retreated without hesitation, creating distance between him and Wuzan.
Muzan didn't even bother to look over, and simply swung his whip to smash them. In an instant, a strong and pungent smell of kerosene quickly spread, filling the air. Muzan suddenly felt something was wrong, and his face changed slightly.
Of course it's not good. This is the explosives specially made by her and Miss Tamayo, and, at the suggestion of You Xiaohun, they deliberately added some of Shimi's blood to it.
You Xiaohun: "Explode!"
"Boom!" A deafening roar echoed instantly. Muzan, caught off guard by the sudden explosion, was left covered in blood and flesh. However, his flesh and blood soon began to heal at a visible rate. However, he hadn't had time to replenish his flesh and blood until now, and the rate of recovery had noticeably slowed.
Muzan noticed a relatively weak-looking soldier nearby, and at this moment he urgently needed human flesh and blood to recover his strength. He also knew that he should pick on the weak, so he lashed out at the soldier with his thorn whip.
However, You Xiaohun would not give him the chance to succeed.
She aimed at the whip swung by Muzan, and the peach wood sword in her hand flashed yellow light, cutting off his whip cleanly and neatly.
You Xiaohun: "How is it? How does it feel to be a little tipsy?" Shimi's blood has a special effect on ghosts. It can make evil ghosts fall into a trance for a short time, as if they are a little tipsy.
However, Muzan was worthy of being the Ghost King. Although he was affected by Shimi's blood, he was only dazed for a moment and quickly returned to normal.
Muzan was instantly enraged, his anger reaching its peak. Having just been tricked by Ubuyashiki using explosives, and now being blasted by You Xiaohun using the same method, this series of humiliations had left him furious.
Wuzan stared at You Xiaohun like a venomous snake, smiled coldly and said, "Do you think you are the savior? Can you save everyone?"
You Xiaohun's eyes were slightly red: "I don't know if I am the savior, but I know."
"Tonight's Demon Slayer Corps is your punishment!!!"
"I will kill you and my sworn brother here!" You Xiaohun roared and swung the knife in his hand again.
Muzan seemed to be mad with rage, his expression twisted into a hideous one. He laughed out loud: "Hahaha! Divine punishment!? Let's see who dies tonight!!!"
Suddenly, there was a sound, and Tanjiro and Tomioka Giyu suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
