Flames!
Misty clouds!
Water flows!
Wind blades!
Heavy, sharp meteor hammer!
Sword light with the scent of wisteria poison!
Wide blade burning the air with the smell of gunpowder!
Soft sword with cherry-colored sword energy like a flowing ribbon!
From all directions, there were auras capable of severely injuring him.
Although these auras were not as strong as the ones Tsugikuni Yoriichi brought, they were fully capable of killing him.
Even escaping by splitting now was impossible; the moment he split, he would surely be cut down one by one!
He could at most split himself into 1,500 pieces.
Each of these Demon Slayers could unleash at least several hundred slashes.
"Stone Breathing! Second Form: Upper Crushing!"
The meteor hammer, as heavy as the earth, instantly pulverized half of Kibutsuji Muzan's head and his right shoulder as if smashing a mud block.
It wasn't over yet; the meteor hammer sliced straight through a row of pleasure houses behind Muzan, directly shattering them at the waist.
Rumble rumble rumble—
The shattered fragments of the pleasure houses shot out in all directions.
"Love Breathing! Third Form: Catloving Shower!"
Blades, like a cat's leaping trajectory, unleashed several slashes around Kibutsuji Muzan, severing his left arm and left leg.
"Sound Breathing! First Form: Roar!" Uzui Tengen's wide blade struck Kibutsuji Muzan's chest directly, instantly creating a loud explosion that blew open Kibutsuji Muzan's chest, leaving Muzan's chest wide open.
"Flame Breathing! Fifth Form! Flame Tiger!"
Flames, like a fierce tiger wanting to bite its prey, pounced towards Kibutsuji Muzan's half-severed neck.
Boom—
Kibutsuji Muzan's neck, including his head, was carbonized and shattered by the flames.
"Mist Breathing! First Form: Low Clouds, Distant Haze!"
Muichiro Tokito vertically thrust towards Kibutsuji Muzan's waist, and the hazy mist directly pecked and broke Kibutsuji Muzan's waist bone.
In just an instant, Kibutsuji Muzan's body had been attacked into a grotesque shape.
However, Kibutsuji Muzan's aura did not weaken; instead, it became incredibly frantic due to the damage, like a cornered beast lashing out.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh—"
Buzz buzz buzz—
Before Giyu Tomioka and Sanemi Shinazugawa's attacks could arrive, a roar, as if from a demon in hell, erupted from Kibutsuji Muzan's twisted body.
Accompanying it were visible shockwaves that distorted the air.
The intensity of the shockwaves was extremely dense, and white lightning even appeared from Kibutsuji Muzan's body.
This lightning was caused by the air tearing due to the shockwaves being too dense and expanding against each other.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz… Rumble rumble rumble—
"Ah!"
"Hmm!"
"Ugh!"
The Hashira were instantly thrown backward by the shockwaves, their minds dazed, and their muscles and nerves immediately spasmed.
All the pleasure houses they stood on instantly collapsed, shattered into tiny wood chips by the shockwaves, and dozens of surrounding pleasure houses were also shattered.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The shattered fragments of the pleasure houses fell like rain, and having lost their footing, the Hashira also fell towards the lower levels of the Infinity Castle.
Kibutsuji Muzan's shattered flesh also regenerated at an extreme speed, far surpassing that of an Upper Moon.
"Do you think you can kill me!!!"
Kibutsuji Muzan's face was incomparably distorted, the end of fear was anger, and it was extreme anger.
He had just felt death, experiencing that sensation again after four hundred years!
He would not die, and he absolutely could not die! He would live longer than anyone.
He was a god! A perfect being! Even if all humans died in the future, he would live! Even if all creatures on this planet died, he would not die!
"You useless fools! All of you, attack! Kill all these Demon Slayers!"
In just one night, only two Upper Moons were left!
And they even found a way to enter the Infinity Castle!
This was a conspiracy against him that had been planned long ago!
Reading Nakime's memories and thoughts, he knew Nakime had not betrayed him.
So they must have found him through other means.
Increasing their power beyond the Upper Moons, accurately locating the Upper Moons, and even having a way to enter the Infinity Castle, and even find him.
The thought sent shivers down Kibutsuji Muzan's spine.
"The Infinity Castle is completely unsafe now!"
"Damn Demon Slayers! This is the Blood Demon Art I sought for hundreds of years!"
Although Kibutsuji Muzan was extremely angry, he would not fight these swordsmen who were comparable to Tsugikuni Yoriichi unless absolutely necessary.
Let Nakime and the Upper Moons buy him time! He needed to escape to a place where the Demon Slayers couldn't find him.
"So scary, so scary, so scary! The Demon Slayers are so scary!"
Hantengu, controlled by Kibutsuji Muzan, rushed towards Muichiro Tokito, trembling and shedding tears as he went, like a weak old man.
"Blood Demon Art: Round Slash Revolve!"
A blood-colored whirlwind-like slash shattered a row of pleasure houses and fell straight towards Sanemi Shinazugawa.
If the Hashira, who had not yet received the Blessing, had been hit by Muzan's shockwave ultimate, they would have lost their combat ability for a period of time, or even fainted directly.
But now, it only caused very brief dizziness and muscle spasms.
"Damn it!" Sanemi Shinazugawa cursed through gritted teeth, watching Kibutsuji Muzan get further and further away: "Don't block my way! Beast!"
"Wind Breathing! Ninth Form: Idaten Typhoon—"
A massive blue wind blade spun and collided with the blood-colored whirlwind.
The blood-colored whirlwind was completely unable to resist the wind blade, directly dissipating, and directly bisecting Gyutaro and Daki!
"How can this be! Just a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps! How can he be so strong!" Gyutaro's pupils contracted to pinpricks, incredulous. Controlled and brought here, he hadn't witnessed Kibutsuji Muzan being brutally beaten.
In his understanding, the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps were merely delicious food capable of killing ordinary demons.
"Get out of the way! I don't have time to waste on small fry!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa watched Kibutsuji Muzan getting further and further away, a fierce aura erupting from him, and he unleashed his magic without hesitation.
"Tear apart! Tear apart! Tear everything I see into shreds!"
The blue wind gradually became tinged with crimson, his eyes also turned a frantic red, and the frantic wind instantly erupted and spread, tearing the surrounding pleasure house fragments into even smaller pieces and scattering them.
Rumble!
"Die!" Sanemi Shinazugawa felt an extraordinary surge in his strength, speed, and sword-swinging power in an instant.
"Wind Breathing! First Form! Dust Whirlwind Cutter!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa appeared behind Gyutaro and Daki in an instant.
The 'Flash Slash' development ability brought by 'Combat Instinct' enhanced his instantaneous slashing ability, and combined with the super high ability boost from the berserk magic, he instantly severed Gyutaro and Daki's heads.
"My neck! It, it was cut!" Daki and Gyutaro's pupils contracted to pinpricks, their faces filled with disbelief.
…
Tokyo
Clang clang!
Kibutsuji Muzan controlled Nakime to teleport himself out of the Infinity Castle, arriving in an alley in a bustling Tokyo street.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!"
Crack!
Sharp demon claws scratched marks onto the wall.
"The Demon Slayer Corps has uncovered a secret that poses such a huge threat to me!"
"The Infinity Castle definitely won't hold out much longer!"
"Gyutaro, useless! He couldn't even block for an instant and got his neck cut!"
Kibutsuji Muzan could already feel death drawing closer.
He could escape this time, but if he didn't wipe out the entire Demon Slayer Corps, every generation would produce swordsmen capable of threatening his life! And the Twelve Kizuki were just a single slash to these swordsmen!
This meant that from now on, he could only keep running, but no matter how he ran, these threats would always exist, and who knew when they might encounter something that would end his life!
"Ahhhhhh! Damn Ubuyashiki clan! Damn Demon Slayer Corps!"
"What do I do, what do I do!" Kibutsuji Muzan clutched his head with both hands, his sharp demon claws even piercing into his brain.
Suddenly, soldiers on the street, maintaining order with their guns, caught his eye.
"Hmm…"
