Chapter 71
Shinobu Kocho leaned against the wall, her face full of the pleasure of revenge.
——That’s great, sister. Did you see that? I have avenged you. The bastard who killed you has been killed by me.
"Shinobu, how are you feeling?" Kanroji Mitsuri stood up by holding onto the wall. When she was about to fall, Iguro Obanai beside her quickly helped her up. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"It's okay, I'm fine." Shinobu Kocho said calmly, "I can't stand up now. You can go check on Mr. Rengoku and Mr. Giyuu. I don't know how they are doing. They are the main force in destroying Douma."
"They should be in good condition," Iguro Obane said. "Although they were injured, at least they didn't lose any limbs. That's what I just heard from Shi Tou."
"Also, Inu should be here soon." Iguro Banai frowned, "Be prepared. The Upper Rank Two was killed. It's such a big deal. Muzan Muzan will definitely be on high alert."
…
Is Muzan Kibutsuji on high alert?
no.
Muzan Kibutsuji Musou is proud - he arrogantly believes that the Sun-Calling Swordsman has disappeared, and that the other swordsmen who use breathing techniques cannot do anything to him, so he doesn't bother to take those swordsmen seriously.
Even if they killed Douma.
...killed Douma.
Muzan Kibutsuji Musume secretly made up his mind - something was so wrong, everything was so wrong.
However, Naruto found the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters some time ago, and she had to go there quickly to kill the Umayashiki family and those pillars.
The Demon Slayer Corps will forever become an unknown history on that day; all the strange secrets will end completely on that day.
-
"The second Upper Rank, Douma, was destroyed successfully. The second Upper Rank, Douma, was destroyed successfully."
"The Demon Slayer Corps' Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho, Love Pillar Mitsuri Kanroji, Snake Pillar Iguro Obanai, Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu, Mist Pillar Tokito Muichiro, and Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro have successfully eliminated the second Upper Moon Douma - eliminate, eliminate!"
The crows of the Demon Slayer Corps were hovering in the sky, announcing the good news together.
"It's really gorgeous!" Uzui Tengen laughed, "How many upper rank ones are we still missing? Naruto, Kokushibo, and Muzan Mubutsuji?"
"Yo, you did a good job." Fuzugawa Shinobu praised him, and then continued to swing his bamboo sword and shouted at his teammates, "Why don't you attack us? The decisive battle will probably be here soon. If you don't work hard, are you going to escape quickly when the decisive battle comes? Can you escape? All of you, attack us!"
Yes, Fuzugawa Miyabi is spontaneously giving special training to ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Amitābha." Beiming Yuxing's tears flowed out again. Butterfly Kanae - he thought of the girl who used to smile tenderly: Shinobu, she really helped her sister to avenge.
…
Although Tomiokawa Giyu and Rengoku Kyojuro looked scary with blood all over their bodies, they actually didn't suffer any serious injuries. They only had a few cuts on their bodies. Rengoku Kyojuro's breathing technique was a natural counter to Douma's blood demon technique, so although there was a difference in strength, it was not a big problem. As for Tomiokawa Giyu, his Eleventh Form Calmness could offset some blood demon techniques, so naturally he didn't suffer any serious damage.
Tokito Muichiro has been in charge of evacuating innocent people from Gokurakuji Temple. He has never faced Douma, let alone been injured.
At the beginning, Shinobu Kocho desperately injected the upper-rank drug she had researched into Douma's body, but was then knocked away by Douma's ice cone and hit the wall heavily. Currently, except for the severe pain in her back that made her unable to stand up, she has no other problems.
When Iguro Obanai and Kanroji Mitsuri attacked Douma, the poison that Shinobu Kocho had injected at the beginning had already shown its effect. Douma's body began to melt, and it was even difficult for the demon to use blood demon jutsu. Taking advantage of this time, the two of them were not injured and cut off Douma's neck at the same time.
"Let's go back to the headquarters first." Iguro Obanai stood in front of Gokurakuji Temple and instructed Yin, "Just find a woman to carry Butterfly back. She seems unable to stand up now. Fuoka and Rengoku can still stand up and walk. They have been bandaged simply, so it's not a big deal."
-
"Be prepared. There's a good chance that Muzan Muzan will come over tonight."
On the third day after Douma was destroyed, Shinobu Kocho said to Tamayo.
Some time ago, Shinobu Kocho confessed the existence of the screen to Tamayo and Yushiro, and their long-standing doubts finally got an answer.
"I didn't expect that such a thing would exist." Tamayo clenched her fists. "That's... great. Muzan Muzan... did even the heavens not tolerate this and finally destroy him?"
Yushiro curled his lips: "Well, although it is unreasonable, it can also explain why you suddenly know all the things we have experienced and why you found our location."
Shinobu Kocho smiled and changed the subject.
"I injected the drug we researched last time into Douma - oh, Upper Rank 2, and used him for an experiment. The drug worked well, at least it could cause actual damage to him, but the drug's effect was still too slow. It would take more than an hour for Upper Rank 2 to take effect, not to mention Upper Rank 1s Kokushibo and Muzan Kibutsuji."
"Please don't worry." Tamayo leaned down slightly, "Delay Muzan Muzan, please leave this matter to me."
Yushiro was a little worried: "Ms. Tamayo!"
Tamayo glanced at Yushiro in a soothing manner. "Let me go, Miss Butterfly," she said, "I'm ready."
Shinobu Kocho certainly knew what delaying Muzan Muzan meant - but she opened her mouth and only said "Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
Shinobu Kocho is the Bug Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even though she has been with Tamayo for such a long time, she knows that Tamayo became a demon because she was deceived by Muzan Kibutsuji Muzan, but deep down she still cannot accept that she is a demon who has eaten humans.
After all, Tamayo is not Nezuko Kamado, who never ate anyone from the beginning to the end; she is not Yushiro, who has only survived by exchanging money for blood from others since she became a demon...
She has eaten many people.
"Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, Wu Bu will come to the headquarters today or tomorrow." Butterfly could not help but change the subject without looking at Yushiro's angry eyes. "Wu Bu now estimates that although we succeeded in killing Douma, our pillars were also seriously injured - he will not give up this opportunity when many pillars are injured."
"The lord has already revealed the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and the estimate of Naruto has also been found and verified." On the other side, Fuzugawa Mitsuya sat on the training ground, paused, and asked Tomioka Giyu, "That Kamado... is he sure he wants to participate in the final battle?"
In the final battle, all the easier upper ranks are gone, and now only the one left is Naruto, who is difficult to deal with with blood demon arts, Kokushibo, the strongest among the upper ranks, and the demon king who is the source of all evil - Muzan Muzan.
As for Senior Brother Zenitsu? He hasn't turned into a ghost yet, so let's not talk about him for now.
"When Master Rin Taki was reading my letter, the news of the decisive battle was accidentally known to Tanjiro." Tomioka Giyu nodded, "He also wants to come."
Fuzugawa Mitsuya said angrily, "You let him come just because he said he wanted to? He hasn't even passed the final assessment yet, and he can only come to participate in the final battle with just the Breathing of the Sun - no, now it can only be called the God of Fire Kagura - just with the God of Fire Kagura?"
"...Actually, he can already split the stone." Tomioka Giyuu hesitated, "But after all, it's the Breathing of the Sun... and I didn't let him do it."
"What's the point of splitting rocks? Does he have any practical experience?"
"……no."
"Then let him go back to Samagiri Mountain and stay there!" Fuzugawa Shigeya made the final decision. "The lord also thinks it's inappropriate to let him come - what is he mixing? Let Butterfly give him the potion that can turn ghosts back into humans, and keep an eye on your sister."
"I also suggest that Tanjiro stay out to avoid being exposed." Uzui Tengen chose to support Fushigi Michiya. "Everyone knows that when Mr. Yuichi and Wukui fought, Wukui split into many pieces and ran away. Who knows if the cowardly Wukui will run away this time?"
…
What many members speculated was completely correct, Muzan Muzan appeared at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters tonight.
As soon as Muzan Kibutsuji entered the yard of the Sanyashiki family, he felt something was wrong, but he was too arrogant to take it to heart and continued walking towards the yard.
Sanyashiki Yoya was sitting on the tatami, and Sanyashiki Amane was pulling his sleeve tightly. On the other side, two girls were singing weird nursery rhymes and throwing balls. Behind the barrier, Rengoku Kyojuro held the Sun Blade tightly.
"I didn't expect you to really come, Mumu." Uzumaki Yoya sighed.
As Kabuki Yakuya said this, in an instant, the meteor hammer filled with Kocho Shinobu's medicine was swung towards Mukuji. Mukuji's head was instantly cracked by the meteor hammer, but the healing speed suddenly slowed down. At the same time, Tamayo flew forward and injected the medicine that she and Kocho Shinobu had researched into Muzan Mukuji's body.
Wuwu suddenly raised his lips - the sound of pipa rang out, and except for Tamayo who was holding Wuwu, a door suddenly appeared under everyone's body, and they fell down. Rengoku Kyojuro immediately rushed to the side of Osamu Yashiki, and pulled two little girls who were playing ball in the yard, ready to attack: "Umm! Please don't worry, my lord! I will protect you!"
Even though he was prepared, Tomioka Giyu was still startled by the sudden feeling of weightlessness. In the chaos, everyone grasped the handle of the Sun Blade at the same time.
"Prepare to die!" Fushigawa Shimiya shouted fiercely, "Innocent!"
-
The second week after the final battle, the screen appeared again. Everyone had an inexplicable premonition that this screen might be the last time it appeared.
[“Hello everyone, welcome to the PK match between Demon Slayer Gakuen and Kizuki Gakuen! My dear audience friends, I really miss you so much!”]
