Chapter 30 Happy Hometown, Unhappy
It hurts, it hurts so much! My whole body feels like it's on fire. I've never felt this much pain since I became a ghost!
The cells decomposed and burned in the sunlight, and the severe pain and impending death made Daki feel a little dazed.
The last time it hurt like this...what was it because?
"Stupid sister, this is really unbearable to watch."
Just as this thought came to her mind, a shadow fell on Duji's head, blocking the deadly light for her. Then she felt weightless and escaped from the range of the strange light.
Duji found her backbone and cried bitterly: "Brother, they all bullied me! Kill them!!"
Agatsuma Zenitsu and his companions looked at the new male demon that had appeared on the eaves a few dozen meters away, and they couldn't believe it: "Another demon appeared behind Upper Six? This must be a lie..."
This newly appeared male ghost was so skinny that he was almost a skeleton, with two blood-red sickles hanging in his hands. After he appeared, he took Daki away from the range of the fluorescent light at a speed that they could not react to at all.
The expressions of several people became more solemn.
When they dealt with Daki, they relied on her underestimation of the enemy to trick her into the range of fluorescent lights, but this trick obviously no longer worked.
"Of course, brother will kill them." The ugly ghost didn't attack immediately. Instead, he stretched out his bony fingers and gently brushed across the burned face of the princess. New skin quickly covered the ugly burns. "How dare they bully such a beautiful and lovely princess? I will make them pay for it."
"Right!" With someone to back her, Daki's face and domineering aura returned to normal. She used a ribbon to cut off a corner of the surrounding eaves and slammed it towards the Demon Slayer Corps and the others, watching with satisfaction as they dodged. "It was just a sneak attack when I was careless. Stop being so arrogant! My brother, Jifutaro, is super powerful. You're finished! Brother—"
"Squeak—"
Before Daki could finish her harsh words, nearly a hundred darts that almost blended into the darkness were already flying towards her and Jifutaro at high speed.
Jifutaro reacted instantly and swung his sword to knock down several of them. Daki, who hadn't had time to dodge, was hit by several of them. She screamed in anger and fear, "The darts are poisoned by wisteria flowers!"
"Hey, evil ghost! These little ghosts are protected by me, the gorgeous one. Come at me if you dare."
There was a loud bang in the sky, and the sound column appeared brilliantly.
It was a literal dazzling debut. With all kinds of sparkling gemstone accessories on his head, the sound column was sparkling and particularly shining under the dim light scattered by the ghost's flashlight and the moonlight above his head.
"Well done, little devils! From now on, just stay by my side and enjoy my magnificent battle!"
Uzui Tengen threw away the ancient, harmless and pollution-free demon resurrection device in his hand that had just fired nearly a hundred poisonous darts, and drew out his two Sun Wheel Chain Swords.
"You're the foreign aid for those little brats down there, right?" Jifutaro held up his sickle, his hand nervously scratching his face. "Ahh... handsome face, strong body, the strength of a pillar... you're definitely popular with women, aren't you?"
Uzui Tengen: "Yes, I have three wives."
"Three wives? Three?"
Jifutaro's already unhealthy mental state became even more insane because of Uzui Tengen's words. He kept raising his hands to scratch himself, leaving bloody marks on his body, and muttered some curse words. It was obvious that he had suffered a great mental blow.
"Yeah, just like you said, isn't this as it should be for someone as outstanding as me?"
Uzui Tengen calmly watched as Tanjiro and the other three turned pale from excessive exercise and took the opportunity to sprinkle hemostatic powder on their wounds.
It was obvious that these four young men were over-exhausted in the previous battle and needed some time to recover before they could rush back to the battlefield.
Because of the lethality of fluorescent lights to demons, Tanjiro Kamado did not bring Nezuko Kamado this time. The combat power gap left by Nezuko Kamado was filled by Haibara Yu, who is also a sorcerer with a physique far superior to that of ordinary people.
Although Daki is very weak compared to a Pillar-level fighter like Uzui Tengen, she is obviously above average for newcomers who lack practical experience such as Tanjiro Kamado, Inosuke Hashibira, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Yu Haibara.
In Uzui Tengen's opinion, these children would most likely not survive until his arrival, so before they set off, he told them that if they couldn't win, they should use flashlights to drive away the ghosts.
But they did not flinch at all after learning the plan. In order to maximize the attack power of their trump card, they even risked their lives to deal with Dakimakaki, using Dakimakaki's own attacks to clear a large area of flat ground before using the daylight flashlight. Afterwards, they dragged Dakimakaki into the ruins despite being injured.
With such growth rate and perseverance...you will definitely achieve great things.
Uzui Tengen was in a good mood: "What's wrong, ugly thing? Are you ashamed after seeing me?"
If he could buy more time for his juniors and draw the attention of these two ghosts to himself, he wouldn't mind having a few more verbal battles with Jifutaro.
The prostitute Taro laughed an unpleasant laugh. "Ashamed of yourself? No, I've seen many people happier than me."
As a true Upper Six, Kifutaro of course saw that Uzui Tengen's real purpose was to buy time, and just wait for the little ghosts holding the strange lanterns to catch their breath before starting a fight to the death with them again.
But he did not interrupt Uzui Tengen because his sister Daki also needed time to decompose the toxins in her body and repair her injuries.
No one knew what was coated on the dart, but Daki had not been able to completely decompose the toxin until now. Even the wounds on her body had large areas of ulceration, and the skin in other parts of her body began to fall off, seriously affecting her ability to move.
In response to this, Ms. Tamayo, who has a century of experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing, said: These are just a few research by-products produced over the years.
Although Tamayo's wish of poisoning Muzan Kibutsuji was not fulfilled due to the low efficacy of the drug and the wrong solution, it was more than enough to poison an Upper Rank, let alone Dakimaki who did not even have the strength of an Upper Rank Six.
The battlefield was too close to the teammates who needed time to catch their breath. Both the man and the ghost were afraid that their teammates would be surrounded by the enemy if they started fighting. They could only chat awkwardly with the enemy while hoping that their teammates could recover first. The situation was temporarily deadlocked.
…
"That flashlight that emits sunlight and the poison that held Daki back for so long must have been the work of that woman." Muzan Kibutsuji, who had invisibly put the blame on Cheng Xiaoyu, analyzed confidently, "That woman is indeed involved with the Demon Slayer Corps. She's most likely already in the Red Street. Have your people found anything?"
Kyubey said, "No, I don't see any significant movement of the magical girls here. Honestly, that daylight flashlight isn't some high-end, precious technology. With the technological capabilities of this world, they could have independently developed it in a few decades. It was probably just given away casually. Perhaps we're overthinking it. She hasn't actually noticed my presence in Flower Street yet."
Muzan Kibutsuji thought, indeed, he had been planting demons in Hanamachi for centuries, and they were already under his control. The Demon Slayer Corps was very limited in what they could find. Furthermore, that ferocious monster woman, who was willing to kill even a perfect creature like him, didn't necessarily care much about the lives of ordinary humans, otherwise she would have followed him long ago.
So it’s not that I guessed wrong, but that I am too powerful, the enemies are too useless, and the relationships between the enemies are too plastic. My only mistake is that I overestimated them.
After figuring it out, Muzan Kibutsuji's annoyance instantly disappeared. His limited intelligence regained its upper hand, and he became more confident. "You're right. Now that Daki has made a big fuss, why not take this opportunity to have the girls under your command help me kill those members of the Demon Slayer Corps and make a bigger noise. That way, with her uncanny speed, she'll definitely be here soon."
Kyubey thought for a moment. He still had two spare bodies hiding with magical girls far away from the Flower Street. The benefits of giving up the spare body were far greater than the risks. So he said:
"It's unlikely that those girls will help you kill people. After all, they are magical girls with hope. I can't interfere with their choices if they don't want to. But I can use their kindness to get them to save people. They didn't interfere with Daki before because I told them to stay where they are and not move. If I let them act freely now, I'm afraid your two men will be in danger."
Muzan, who had already prepared to sacrifice two ghosts, did not hesitate at all: "Then do as you say."
Kyubey leaped in front of the sliding door. With a crisp string sound, a blood-red sky with several pieces of floating pebbles appeared behind the sliding door. Kyubey and Muzan were stunned at the same time.
Mingnu, what are you doing to us?
The next second, a terrifying orange-red light and two lightning-like beams fell on Kyubey's head, directly giving this cute white creature the highest etiquette of vaporization. Muzan Kibutsuji felt his body lighten, and when he looked down, he saw that his body was lying upright on the tatami, looking very peaceful, as if he had become a real ghost.
Before Muzan Kibutsuji could figure out his situation, he had no chance to figure it out, because the two strange lights soon fell on him. The "holy light" with a temperature of several thousand degrees Celsius was enough to melt the alloy door several centimeters thick, and he directly saw the red spider lily of hell.
The humane salvation process of the two anthropomorphic creatures took only one second.
Cheng Xiaoyu, who had been waiting at the gate of Infinite City for a long time, lifted the snake spell that invisibly infiltrated her. "Johnny Ising~ Well, I guess you guys don't understand the Shining jokes either. It's really tasteless."
She found the coordinates of Infinite City through some means. She had no way to directly break into other people's territory without alerting Sona, but that did not prevent her from directly pulling the entire Infinite City into her territory.
Paper cannot cover fire, but lanterns can. Therefore, the reason why paper cannot cover fire is simply because the paper is not big enough.
Use magic to defeat magic, use domain to deal with domain, and use Happy Home to surround Happy Home!
When Muzan Kibutsuji died, the demons under his control also died suddenly on the spot. The magnificent and spectacular Demon City also collapsed into black ash with the death of its master, and drifted away in the endless blood-red space of the Ghost Kingdom.
Standing in the blood-red space, Cheng Xiaoyu dusted off her sleeves. "Although I expected this, I still want to complain. All I get for working so many sleepless nights and overtime is a surge in the PM2.5 reading in my hometown of Kuaile?"
No. 233: [It's okay. This place has never passed the environmental protection index anyway. Next time, you might consider just stuffing the enemy into this area and choking them to death with ashes.]
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Good idea, I'll try it when I get a chance."
