“Dong~!”
Another crisp and melodious sound of a pipa string echoed.
Far away in the lowest level of the Infinity Castle.
At the same time that Muzan released the shockwave, he forcibly controlled Nakime, making her disregard the attacks she was suffering and teleport Muzan out.
And in another place, a space kunai pierced the ground, and Kiyomizu's figure flashed into existence.
Muzan has run away.
This made Kiyomizu frown slightly.
If Muzan really escapes, he doesn't know if he will be able to encounter and catch Muzan next time.
Just at this moment, the Kasugai Crow flew over unsteadily.
“Uesugi Kiyomizu! Uesugi Kiyomizu! Do not resist the teleportation, do not resist the teleportation!”
What does that mean?
Kiyomizu was slightly stunned.
Outside, the Yoshiwara red-light district.
The bright moon was setting in the west, and the bustling red-light district was still bustling with noise at this moment.
This is a luxurious city that never sleeps.
“Plop!”
Muzan fell to the ground all of a sudden, panting heavily.
Hiding here, Uesugi Kiyomizu should not be able to chase after him, right?
The other party has the ability to teleport through space, and the Infinity Castle definitely cannot trap him and the people from the Demon Slayer Corps.
In the next few decades, he would have to hide like he did from Yoriichi Tsugikuni three hundred years ago, until the other party died of old age before he could reappear.
That's right, next, he should have Nakime bring out all the Twelve Kizuki, lest there be no one available when the time comes. In the next few decades of hiding from Uesugi Kiyomizu, he would need manpower to bring him blood.
It just so happened that this Yoshiwara red-light district had a large population, so he could greatly replenish his strength first.
Muzan calmed down slightly, just about to connect his consciousness to Nakime, then he was stunned.
… …
Deepest part of the Infinity Castle.
Thanks to Muzan's actions, Nakime had a flaw, and Mitsuri Kanroji broke through to her, creating an opportunity.
An opportunity for Yushiro and Tamayo to take action.
As early as when she discovered that Nakime was the key to controlling the Infinity Castle, Amane had Yushiro, who possessed bewitching abilities, and Amane lie in ambush, waiting for the opportunity.
She had originally planned to have Tengen Uzui kill Lower Moon Five and immediately rush to support them.
However, Muzan's actions instead created an opportunity for the three of them.
“Blood Demon Art · Eye Obscuring!”
Yushiro stuck the paper talisman on Nakime's forehead, covering the eye that had "Six" written on it, spread out his palms, and pressed them on the temples on both sides of Nakime's brain.
Beside him, Tamayo stretched out her slender fingers and used her sharp nails to cut through her fair skin, and a cloud of blood mist floated out.
“Bewitching Blood · Illusionary Demonic Incense.”
The blood mist, like a mesmerizing fragrance, was inhaled by Nakime.
“Yushiro, send all of us to Muzan's side.”
“Yes, Lady Tamayo!”
The perspective returns to Kiyomizu.
“Uesugi Kiyomizu, Uesugi Kiyomizu, do not resist the teleportation, do not resist the teleportation!”
The Kasugai Crow flew unsteadily in the sky and shouted.
The next moment, Kiyomizu suddenly lowered his head and saw an open portal appear under his feet.
In an instant, the world spun.
Blood-stained swordsmen, hideous demons, and terrifying lethality caused people to scream in terror.
“All Demon Slayer swordsmen, prioritize protecting civilians, Pillars hold back the Twelve Kizuki, Muzan is up to me to solve!”
Kiyomizu held the Nichirin Blade, stared at Muzan, and said loudly.
Muzan also reacted, and countless blood thorns condensed from blood burst out from his body in an instant, growing rapidly like branches and stabbing towards the surroundings.
He needed to replenish his blood to replenish the consumed power.
Doing so could also distract Kiyomizu and the Demon Slayer Corps, and he might be able to find a chance to escape while they were rescuing the civilians.
Muzan's plan was good, but his current strength was obviously weaker than when he first started.
Tamayo's poison had lasted for such a long time, and even though Muzan had barely decomposed the turning-human drug and the aging drug over time, he had now lost a lot of his life force, and his dark hair had turned pale.
Not to mention that he had just used a lot of the energy stored in his body in order to escape, so it was not too easy for Kiyomizu to deal with him.
Several space kunai engraved with the word "Kill" were thrown out, and Kiyomizu's figure flashed in the air one after another, waving the long sword in his hand.
No mistakes, every attack hits the target!
“Breath of Departure · Fourth Form · Departure Rain Falling.”
Bright blue plasma sword energy crisscrossed, chopping off the blood thorns shot by Muzan like cutting melons and vegetables, and incidentally, it could also send those bone whips and tentacles back.
Muzan's face couldn't help but become more ferocious.
This time, it seemed even more dangerous than four hundred years ago.
Although Yoriichi Tsugikuni was stronger, the encounter between the two was a chance encounter, while the current Uesugi Kiyomizu used the Ubuyashiki as bait to set up a trap for himself.
Moreover, that red-haired man did not have so many methods, and Tamayo had not betrayed him yet, creating so many poisons that could target him.
Regardless of any creature, when faced with the brink of death, they will burst out with all their strength in order to seek a glimmer of hope.
Muzan was the same.
“Uesugi Kiyomizu————!”
Muzan roared and rushed towards Kiyomizu, the flesh on his body constantly wriggling and pulling out, turning into a monster with countless huge mouths.
“Muzan————!”
Kiyomizu also replied with great enthusiasm, but he didn't have the idea of directly taking Muzan's attack head-on, but decisively teleported to the side to sneak attack.
If you can play sneak attacks, who would be hot-blooded and risk your life to play with you.
The power that Muzan is erupting now has rebounded somewhat, but in Kiyomizu's view, this is just a trapped beast fighting before death.
Even if he can't directly kill Muzan now, Kiyomizu only needs to drag it out.
No matter what, it is not far from dawn now.
When the sun rises, whether it is Muzan or these demons present, they will undoubtedly die.
… …
… …
The battle between Kiyomizu and Muzan was the biggest.
Without the strength of a Pillar, they didn't even have the ability to resist the aftermath of the two people's fight, let alone intervene.
The battle area between Kiyomizu and Muzan became a vacuum zone in a short period of time.
The battle between the other Upper Moon demons was also not small at all.
“Moon Breathing · Fourteenth Form · Calamitous Transformation: Heavenly Full Splintering Moon!”
“Stone Breathing · Third Form · Skin of Stone Fortification!”
The spiked metal ball and broad axe rotated and flew, colliding with slender arcs of moon sword energy.
The air waves generated by the collision destroyed everything around.
“Obanai, are you okay!”
“I'm fine, it doesn't affect the battle.”
Obanai Iguro tore off a corner of his clothes and wrapped his injured shoulder, his eyes calm.
“A very good swordsman, your Stone Breathing has surpassed the swordsman who created this breathing technique. Even if you were placed four hundred years ago, you would be in the top ranks among the Pillars.”
