Chapter 117: Muzan Runs Away

Ding--

Amid the sound of metal clashing, Lu Li was knocked flying. This was not a sign of his embarrassment, but the result of him deliberately relaxing himself and allowing himself to be knocked flying to relieve the force.

Kokushibo's Moon Breathing is indeed extraordinary. The third form: Moon of Disgust: Eclipse is a sword technique that swings the blade widely and performs two consecutive hits. It takes who knows how many years to hone this extremely fast two consecutive hits. Even he didn't have time to adjust his posture at that moment.

Therefore, he could only barely use the Prison Demon to protect his vital points. Otherwise, even with the Armament Haki, Kokushibo's sword would definitely cut him in half.

After a brief fight, Lu Li understood that although Kokushibo was only an Upper Rank One and could be considered an employee of Muzan, in terms of head-on combat strength, Kokushibo might not be weaker than Muzan, and might even be stronger than Muzan.

When he slashed at Muzan before, he also saw the attributes of Muzan Kibutsuji.

[Oniitsuji Muzan]

Physical fitness: 46 points

Strength: 41 points

Agility: 42 points

Spirit: 38 points

Charisma: 10 points

Judging from the attributes alone, Muzan is not much stronger than Kokushibo. Muzan is just a little more tanky. As the king of ghosts, he has stronger survivability. He will not die even if his head is chopped off. His super-speed regeneration ability is much stronger than that of other ghosts.

But Muzan's abilities seemed to be focused on saving his life. His attack power was average. And because he always let his subordinates fight, although he had lived for thousands of years, he did not have any outstanding fighting skills.

Therefore, Muzan is just a useless person with only attributes. In terms of threat in battle, Lu Li feels that he is not as threatening as Kokushibo.

When Kokushibo uses Moon Breathing, his attributes will increase slightly, so his attack power is extremely strong, and anyone hit by him will either die or be injured.

After being knocked flying, Lu Li crashed into a door. He stepped on the door and sprinted towards Qingfeng above.

His battle strategy was simple, to kill the opponent's auxiliary warrior first in the chaos, so as to avoid being ambushed later. Moreover, Qingfeng was a powerful explorer, and he might have strange tricks. It would make him feel at ease to kill the opponent first.

Qingfeng saw Lu Li coming at him at a very fast speed. No matter how many transparent silk threads he wove, he couldn't stop Lu Li. He just felt it was outrageous.

You have to know that his silk thread is transparent. He never understood how Lu Li discovered his arrangement. He always managed to draw his sword before being cut by the silk thread.

If his thread cannot avoid Lu Li's perception, it is just a stronger and sharper thread. He has no advantage over the first three Upper Ranks, and is even inferior to the original Upper Rank Four in head-on combat.

He kept jumping on the platform, trying to avoid Lu Li's pursuit, but Lu Li's speed was too fast. When he moved in this space, it was as if real lightning was passing through, and there were constant explosions.

This is a terrifying fact, which means that Lu Li's speed at this moment has broken the sound barrier, which is definitely not a speed that a person with 40 attribute points can reach.

"Damn it, what kind of footwork are you using!?"

Qingfeng was also a little panicked at this time. He deliberately fled to the place where there were many ghosts, but those ghosts, including an Upper Rank Eight, could not stop Lu Li at all and were killed by Lu Li in an instant.

In his opinion, he came to this world to be a hero, how could he be killed by a 'reactionary' like Lu Li! ?
Seeing Lu Li approaching, Qingfeng could only shout, "Brother Yi, save me!"

Kokushibo was also very considerate, or he just took a shortcut to come to him, and slashed at Lu Li with a knife, and suddenly moonlight filled the entire platform.

Because Lu Li was moving extremely fast, it was difficult for him to judge Lu Li's direction, so he used countless vertical circular slashes to cover a 180-degree front direction, which could completely destroy everything around him.

Breath of the moon, shape of land, lonely moon in the constant night, without a break.

However, after Kokushibo launched this move, the dense sound of hammering echoed on the platform, and dazzling flames flashed at a high frequency. Lu Li actually waved his sword and took all his attacks in an instant.

Moreover, even in the state of extremely fast advancement, Lu Li's speed did not slow down much.

After breaking Kokushibo's move, the moment the sound of hammering stopped, he finished chanting, raised his left hand and pointed at Qingfeng who was fleeing in the distance, "The Sixty-first Way of Binding. Six-Staff Light Prison."

Suddenly, six beams of light appeared out of nowhere and pierced Qingfeng from six directions, locking his movements.

Kokushibo was a little surprised to see Lu Li's move. In the moment of confusion, Lu Li broke through the blockade of his moves, and his high-speed charge brought about an air explosion, and he killed Qingfeng who was trapped behind him.

No matter how hard Qingfeng struggled, he couldn't quickly get rid of the six-rod light prison. When he woke up, his face was filled with despair and anger, "Fuck you! You are the god of death!"

He finally understood why the bodies of the ghosts killed by Lu Li did not disappear, because what Lu Li used was not the Nichirin Sword, and he did not use poison, he used the Zanpakutō!

When Lu Li cut off the ghost's head, it was equivalent to directly cutting off its soul, so it was naturally dead.

Lu Li did not respond to Qingfeng. He just cut off Qingfeng's head when they passed by each other, reached down with his left hand, and put the treasure chest of the dead directly into the storage space.

The Infinite City was too chaotic, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find the treasure chest he had obtained after the battle.

"Are you a human or a ghost?!"

Muzan was also frightened when he saw this scene from a distance. The fear brought to him by Lu Li's release of the strange "blood demon technique" of the Six-Rod Light Prison was greater than the threat posed by Lu Li's own strength.

Because he began to doubt his own existence. Wasn't he the only ghost king? Could it be that the doctor from a thousand years ago had a more perfect drug formula that could create ghosts that were not afraid of sunlight and did not rely on cannibalism?

He felt that this was very likely the case, because Lu Li not only had a powerful body that was unmatched by ordinary ghosts, but he could also release this powerful blood demon art to control the Upper Four. Finally, Lu Li was not afraid of sunlight and could move freely.

After being frightened, Muzan felt happy again. He suddenly realized that right in front of him was the perfect creature that was not afraid of the sunlight that he had been looking for.
If I could eat Lu Li, wouldn't I be able to become a perfect creature?
boom--

But soon, the roar from below made him sober up a little, because after a sword fight with Lu Li, Kokushibo was also knocked flying, and he smashed many doors in succession before he stopped.

After his injuries were healed, Akaza, who exchanged punches with Lu Li again, became even more embarrassed and had his head knocked off by Lu Li's punch.

If Kokushibo hadn't come to the rescue, Akaza would have definitely been killed.

Muzan looked at the tragic battlefield and struggled internally. He felt that Lu Li was very difficult to deal with. Perhaps he was as powerful as Tsugikoku Yoshiichi whom he met hundreds of years ago. If he joined the battlefield and attacked Lu Li, he might not win 100% and would put himself in danger instead.

After an inner struggle, Muzan made a decision. He would place his hopes on the information obtained by those 'new employees'.

According to the deceased Upper String Four and Upper String Eight, a girl named Nezuko has overcome the sunlight. If he can devour her, he may be able to obtain the 'sunlight antibodies' and become an immortal perfect creature.

Now Lu Li was trapped in the Infinite City. He only needed to let his men hold Lu Li back and keep him trapped here, while he would go to the Demon Slayer Corps' base camp and kill all those annoying bugs.

According to his speculation, Nezuko is most likely under the strict protection of the Demon Slayer Corps, which means that she is just fifty miles away from where Lu Li entered the Infinite City. That is the shortcut that would make it easier to get her.

After figuring out the key, Muzan smiled and said, "Kokushibo, I'll leave this to you. I'll make myself more perfect first, and then I'll help you overcome the sunlight."

As a boss, he always has to paint a rosy picture for his employees. He may not care about the other Twelve Demon Moons, but Kokushibo is an extremely strong fighter, so he must pay attention to him and make the other party wholeheartedly help him stop Lu Li.

Of course, in Muzan's view, Kokushibo's life or death is no longer important. As long as the other party can help him drag Lu Li in the Infinite City, Kokushibo will be useless after he absorbs Nezuko outside.

After that, having become stronger, he might consider "revenge" for Kokushibo and kill Lu Li, whom he disliked just by looking at him.

Or maybe after becoming the Ultimate Creature, he no longer cared about these things and just found a good place to live a peaceful eternity.

"Don't worry, sir. I will kill him with my own hands."

Kokushibo walked out of the ruins. He was knocked back by Lu Li during the sword fight just now, but he himself was not seriously injured.

At his and Muzan's level, as long as they are not beheaded, even if their limbs are cut off by a swordsman who has mastered the breathing technique, they can still regenerate at super speed. So in his opinion, he still has the advantage at the moment.

After all, Lu Li had obviously used a secret technique similar to the stripes to make a leap forward in his strength. This method was undoubtedly extremely energy-consuming. In terms of endurance, he, Kokushibo, must be stronger.

In addition, there are so many ghosts in the Infinite City. Even if they cannot cause harm to Lu Li, they can still consume a lot of Lu Li's physical strength.

In fact, after Lu Li fought with him and they both retreated, he did not chase him, but killed in the direction of other ghosts, as fast as chopping melons and vegetables.

"Narume."

Muzan spoke and asked Mingnu to open the door for him. According to the estimated location, he stepped out and came directly to the base camp of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Seeing Muzan leaving the Infinite City, the explorers in the Infinite City were stunned, and then they couldn't help but curse.

"Fuck you, Muzan, you stupid boss, you ****"

"You are crazy to run away at this time!?"

"Stupid Muzan, why don't you go to look for Nezuko at any other time? Why do you have to go now?"

"Fuck you, Muzan, can you stop being such a coward? Isn't it better to fight in a team with Brother Yi!?"

"It's over, it's over. This Lu Li is really not human. Even Brother Yi couldn't stop him. Now the idiot Wuzan has left. Aren't we just waiting to die?"

"..."

A large number of explorers seemed to have thrown down their hopeless positions at this time, and they all cursed Wuzan because they had already foreseen the defeat of their side.

Originally, they had analyzed Lu Li's previous battle record and knew that he was the most powerful leader in the Demon Slayer Corps and had advanced combat skills, probably not inferior to those of Kokushibo.

Now that they are fighting, it seems that he is not only not inferior to Kokushibo, but he has surpassed Kokushibo.

In addition, Lu Li's stats are also very high. Douma and Qingfeng were killed not long after the battle started. At this pace, Kokushibo and Akaza will not be able to stop Lu Li at all, and defeat is only a matter of time.

In this case, if Muzan, who has extremely high tankiness, is willing to join the battle, there is still a high probability that he can successfully surround and kill Lu Li.

But why are you, the 'Ghost King', thinking of running away at this time?
We, your Majesty, are truly ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

The explorers fell into deep despair and realized the pitfalls of their own camp: although their leader had great power, he had a cowardly heart and was the dumbest leader among dumb leaders.

After despair and anger, the surviving explorers turned their despair into motivation. In order to survive, they all fought desperately.
