Chapter 264
The impact of the explosion was so great that it almost cleared out an entire area.
According to the predicted situation, even Muzan Kibutsuji would be seriously injured, let alone the fact that the drug has completely entered his blood circulation.
At this time, he must not be allowed any chance to replenish his energy. According to the plan, Mr. Uzumaki will command based on the map that has been drawn, and Koya and Yushiro will be responsible for delivering messages.
I quickly calculated the time. Based on the speed of cooperation between Xiao Huiliya and the other five people and the number of animals used to detect the internal location of the Infinite City, most of the map has been completed by now.
Although Yushiro has now controlled Naruto, it is very difficult for him to seize her consciousness compared to Naruto at his level. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Yushiro must start synchronizing his mind with Naruto's mental wavelengths, which means that he will lose a large part of his ability to think for himself. Therefore, all transmissions require clear instructions.
Next, we need Mr. Uzumayashiki's command.
I stood up and had to deal with Kokushibo first before attacking Muzan Muzan.
Closing my eyes, the process of synchronizing my vision has become a little blurry, which means that the synchronization rate has decreased and the influence of the ghost blood on me has begun.
But no matter how blurry it was, I could still see Kokushibo's somewhat ferocious face - indeed, he had surpassed the limits of demons and overcome the weakness of beheading.
Although there is a lot of consumption, but at this point in time when Kokushibo overcomes his weakness, his ability will definitely increase exponentially - and Muzan Muzan...
Because Muzan Muzan is unable to act now, he will definitely fully support Kokushibo's actions.
There are only two ways to defeat Kokushibo now - either to eliminate his own fighting will, but fighting will is something very uncontrollable, and now we absolutely cannot pin our hopes on those illusory things.
Then there is only——
Breath of the Sun.
To kill a demon who has overcome the weakness of beheading, you need the complete 13th form of Sun Breathing. Although Tanjiro's Fire God Kagura, according to him, originally only had 12 forms.
However, at the end of the training, I saw the shadow of the Warring States swordsman behind Tanjiro.
It's not reincarnation, but the swordsman seems to have always stayed in this world.
Soul?
No, maybe it's will.
What has been passed down from the Warring States Period is a belief.
Ms. Tamayo and I are both people who have seen Mr. Enichi use his complete sword skills, although our memories are vague and his description is not clear enough.
But Tanjiro completely understood what we wanted to say, and with the previous training -
Can he do it?
No, you shouldn't use such a question sentence - he must do it.
Tanjiro's Fire God Kagura is one of the core elements of this battle. Although he had always stumbled during his previous training, now he has to do it even if he can't!
"Mr. Uzumaki!" I raised my head and said loudly to the 鎹鶴 who was already beside me, waiting to be contacted at any time, "It is useless to cut off the head of the Upper Rank One. We need to use the next plan!"
The crow made a "dumb" sound, circled in the air, and landed next to Yushiro.
Then, I saw Yushiro's fingers twitching, and then Naruto's hand began to move with an obvious clicking sensation, and the pipa was plucked and made a sound.
I was ready. Zenitsu and Inosuke were fighting hard with Tamae. Because of Tamae's important role in the previous search, Muzan Muzan gave him the largest amount of blood, making the concentration of demon blood in his body almost as high as that of Komaharu, who was still a demon before.
That's why it was a tough battle - but the injuries on them were less than I expected, and the battle was basically coming to an end, so there was no need for Yushiro to teleport the pillars over.
The number of teleportations should be reduced as much as possible, because the more times Naruto's blood demon art is used, the easier it is for Muzan Muzan to detect it, and the more likely it is that Naruto will regain control of the Infinite Castle.
Moreover, Kanao has already arrived near Zenitsu and Inosuke under the command of Koya.
There are still other people in the Infinite Castle, and the demons other than the Twelve Kizuki have been almost dealt with... As expected, now we have to concentrate on dealing with Kokushibo.
Just when I wanted to focus on the battlefield over there, I suddenly heard a very painful sound from Yushiro.
I looked over and saw that his expression was extremely ferocious, with very obvious blue veins all around his temples, and both of his hands were already inserted into Mingnu's head.
Before I could take a closer look, he even made a terrifying sound the next second.
There is a problem!
I was completely unable to move. The unrelieved pain made it impossible for me to move at all, and it seemed that my legs would never return to their original shape.
I stretched out my hand, and the part that turned into a vine stretched out and pierced Yushiro's body.
The next moment, my ears vibrated.
"Send the swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps to me. I need to eat."
This is the voice of Muzan Kibutsuji!
Oh no, the damage Komaji just caused him was too great!
If Yushiro does not respond to his order, Muzan will personally control Naruto's power, or simply kill Naruto to eliminate future troubles...
No, the control of Infinite City must not be handed back!
It's still at least an hour before the sun rises.
Not enough, not enough.
My brain was working rapidly. Yushiro was able to synchronize the orders of Muzan Muzan that Naruto heard. Now only I knew it. If I spoke loudly to Koukuro to convey the message, Muzan Muzan would most likely be able to hear it through Naruto's ears.
Hallucinations can only obscure vision, not hearing.
What to do?
Could the Teleportation Pillar go through - let alone the other Pillars, even Mr. Gyomei would not be able to make it through alone - and now the people on Kokushibo's side absolutely cannot retreat.
Otherwise, the battle just now will be in vain.
Just as his brain was spinning rapidly, the second order from Muzan Kibutsuji Mumushi came to his ear.
"It's time for the blue spider lily, too."
It was like I was struck by lightning and I realized it all at once.
With the disappearance of the pistil - that is, its complete separation from me, and the large number of flowers that split off, my physical condition has completely regressed to the time when I was discovered by my teacher more than a thousand years ago.
Muzan Muzan must have discovered this fact when I allowed the demon blood to transform my body - my current level of strength is no longer capable of turning him into an ordinary person.
So, now that Komaeda can no longer be the food that helps him overcome the sun, he thinks that eating me can have the same effect?
The reason why it is so confident is probably because when it absorbed Komaji's arm, it had already figured out how to properly absorb the power of the blue spider lily by decomposing Komaji's flesh and blood.
It is expected that it will be exposed. This is a game - naturally there is gain only when there is loss.
This is just right. Since he was able to analyze the correct method to eat me and decompose my abilities, it means that he must have completely absorbed Komaji's hand - this also confirms that the drug has taken effect in him.
I took a deep breath. I had to buy some more time for the others. I believed that Tanjiro and the others could get rid of Kokushibo as quickly as possible.
With Jiguo's strong determination to win, it is impossible for him to remain unshakable when facing the Breathing of the Sun.
And... this decision should have been made by me personally.
Komaji, Love Snow...
We have already been prepared for enlightenment, haven't we?
Consciousness was transmitted directly into Yushiro's brain through the vines.
At this time, in order to hold back Muzan Muzan's spirit, he had completely lost his ability to think, and all his actions needed to be directed by direct orders. Without thinking about the content of the order, there would be no emotional ties.
——Teleport me to Muzan Muzan!
The moment this order arrived, Yushiro carried it out meticulously.
Maybe because it was quite far from here, I was teleported three or four times in a row before I finally stopped.
To be honest, I thought I would feel dizzy, but maybe it was the pain that stimulated my nerves, I really didn't feel anything else.
Looking up, I was standing next to a wooden door that had been blown up. Below was pitch black as if it were an abyss - this was what the Infinite City was like, with a magical structure that was beyond comprehension.
But what really cannot be ignored is the huge ball of flesh in front of me.
The suspended flesh ball was held up by its extended tentacles, and even from what I could see there was a tentacle fixed to the wall next to it.
It's like a cocoon in the air.
“Boom—boom—boom—”
The sound of heartbeat came from the [coil]. The skin on the surface of the meat ball seemed very thin at first glance, and something was wriggling inside. I could even see the horizontal and vertical shapes inside through some shadows.
Like limbs, but also like something else.
But I didn't have time to think about it, because a thorn whip came out from the cocoon and pierced into my abdomen.
I didn't feel any pain this time, because the pain from the previous cut had already made my entire abdomen numb. Now that I had such a penetrating wound, I was actually indifferent.
"Your plan has failed... You wanted to plot against me, but now you have to let me do whatever I want to you?" The voice of Muzan Kibutsuji Muyu came from the meat cocoon.
Do you feel you have won?
Indeed, for him, it doesn't matter even if all his subordinates are killed. As long as he can overcome the sunlight, the Demon Slayer Corps will lose.
"The one who made the wrong calculation is you - Muzan Muzan."
I lowered my head and didn't think about cutting off the whip.
Because I don’t have this ability myself.
All I can do is fight back.
The vines instantly spread out like his tentacles, growing to the height of several floors. New sprouts emerged from the wound on the abdomen, and then thin vines grew from the sprouts that were less than the thickness of the little finger, growing in the opposite direction of the whip.
It took no more than two breaths for the vine wrapped around the whip to pierce the front of the cocoon.
Very hard. Even the thin-looking surface is actually quite hard.
The woven vines formed a web, trapping the cocoon one by one in the middle - although these vines could not stop Muzan's Thorn Whip.
However, blocking was not my goal.
"call out--"
I seemed to hear a sound of breaking air, and my right hand was suddenly pulled. My body tilted, and the second whip pierced my left shoulder.
Cold sweat ran down my back.
The attack had been aimed at my neck and I hadn't even noticed it.
There seemed to be a barely perceptible warmth on the wrist of my right hand, but there was indeed no one else around me.
Who is helping me?
