Chapter 119 Urgent
The moment the door opened, all nine pillars saw Muzan's ugly form.

At the same time, behind Muzan, they also saw a fierce battle deep in the Infinite City.

It was a bolt of lightning interwoven with black and gold, constantly shuttling through the Infinite City. Wherever it passed, ghosts died, and almost no ghost could stop it.

In the brief moment of time, Jiuzhu and Lu Li in the depths exchanged glances, both filled with trust.

Muzan's forehead was slightly sweaty. His current situation was like a wolf in front and a tiger behind. However, based on his comprehensive judgment, Nezuko should be more "delicious". It would take too much effort to eat Lu Li.

So he 'plucked up his courage', stepped out of the gate, and rushed towards the nine pillars.

He is the Ghost King, possessing an endless lifespan and a recovery ability that cannot be matched by the Twelve Demon Moons. Now there are still ten hours until dawn, and he feels that he can wear down these pillars by himself!
"No miserability!"

Amid the roar, a flash of golden lightning flashed across, causing Muzan to subconsciously dodge and run far to the side.

After dodging the attack, Muzan became a little annoyed, because he found that the person attacking him was just a child, not very strong, and he instinctively dodged out of fear.

Just at that moment, he thought it was Lu Li coming to chop him, but it turned out to be just a little ghost using thunder breathing.

"Pigs rush forward, pigs rush forward!"

A spirited voice came from the flank. Just as Muzan was about to turn around, the Rock Pillar's attack had already arrived, so he could only deal with the Rock Pillar first.

This time he was prepared and used blood demon magic to strengthen his body to take the attack from the Rock Pillar.

boom--

But what shocked Muzan was that even though he showed such an ugly posture and prepared for defense, he was still knocked away by the blow of the Rock Pillar, and the shocking force almost shattered his internal organs.

Fortunately, his self-healing ability was extraordinary and he healed these injuries in an instant, but the threat of the rock pillar increased sharply in his mind.

He looked at the ochre-colored lines on Yanzhu's face and thought of the purple-black lines on Lu Li's face, his expression became very gloomy.

He had seen the markings before, so he was sure that these were not markings, especially since Rock Pillar looked quite old, but the presence of these markings on his face did not seem like a heavy burden.

Could it be that the Demon Slayer Corps has evolved again and mastered a technology more advanced than the patterns! ?

Muzan felt heavy in his heart, but was also glad for his "decisiveness" tonight. He thought it was right for him to join the Demon Slayer Corps. He must become a demon that is not afraid of the sun as soon as possible, otherwise it would become increasingly difficult to face the Demon Slayer Corps in the future.

He had already made up his mind that he would retreat after snatching Nezuko. As long as he could become a ghost that was not afraid of the sun, he would immediately leave the country and find a new place to start a new life.

As for a partner like Kokushibo?

Let him die. As long as he is perfect, all his subordinates will be useless. He is the only perfect immortal creature and there is no need for anyone else to share the throne with him.

The Nine Pillars and Muzan fought fiercely, and Tanjiro couldn't help but step onto the wall to watch the fight. If the Nine Pillars hadn't instructed that someone must stay by Nezuko's side to guard against a surprise attack from Muzan's men, he would have rushed up to fight Muzan long ago.

Miss Tamayo also walked out of the house and looked at the fight outside the yard with a serious expression and deep hatred in her eyes.

"Why is my regeneration slower?"

After fighting for a while, Muzan found it difficult to take down the nine pillars for a while. Not only that, he also realized that his regeneration was no longer as fast as it was at the beginning.

At this moment, he noticed the gaze of Tamayo on the courtyard wall and said angrily: "Tamayo, what did you do to me!?"

Muzan only felt that in addition to the slower regeneration, there was also a force in his body that was consuming him internally, which was about to wear down his cells as a demon.

"Oh? Shouldn't you ask Zhu what he did to you?"

Tamayo's lips curled up, and she felt very pleased when she saw Muzan's embarrassed look.

The results of her and Shinobu Kocho's research for more than two months have taken effect. According to Lu Li's suggestion, not only Shinobu Kocho stored the poisons targeting Muzan in the syringe-like Nichirin Sword, but other pillars also smeared high concentrations of toxins on the swords.

Faced with this proposal, even the most upright Flame Pillar had no objection. After all, when dealing with an evil demon like Muzan, why would we need to talk about martial ethics?
As a result, all the columns were poisoned, and they were mixed poisons.

Not only does it contain medicine that can turn ghosts back into humans, it also contains medicine that can rapidly deplete Muzan's lifespan.

He is said to be the immortal Ghost King, but in fact eternity is only relative. Tamayo speculated that even if a ghost is well-nourished, it can only live for tens of thousands of years at most. Muzan, as the Ghost King, will not be much stronger. She speculated that Muzan has a lifespan of 20,000 years at most.

The toxin she developed can make Muzan age 50 years every minute.

In addition to these two toxins, there is also the wisteria flower poison developed by Shinobu Kocho, which is effective against demons and will also cause continuous damage to Muzan's cells.

So at this time, Muzan was facing the siege of nine pillars in perfect state, all of which had activated their demon gods. He was completely hit head-on, and the more he fought, the more he felt something was wrong, and he had a feeling that he was powerless.

While the nine pillars were fighting Muzan to stop him from devouring Nezuko, the scene in the Infinite Castle was quite another.

"Hahaha, how great! This is the first time I've met a man as strong as you. Come on, keep fighting!"

As soon as Akaza, who was missing limbs, recovered, he rushed towards Lu Li with a loud laugh and punched Lu Li on the head.

At this moment, he did not care about the siege, because Lu Li's strength proved that even if he was besieged, he could easily kill other ghosts in the Infinite City, and he could seriously injure him with several random punches.

“How pathetic.”

After Lu Li forced back Kokushibo's blade with a single blow, he turned around and kicked backwards, using his Armament Haki to kick Akaza to pieces.

He took a deep breath, and the power brought by the breath of thunder made his attack fierce and powerful. After he stood firm, he slashed at Kokushibo with another knife.

With the blessing of the title, the strength was judged to be passed, and he knocked Kokushibo away, then he turned and rushed towards Akaza who was concentrating his body. Akaza was indeed a person who loved fighting and always pursued becoming stronger, but he forgot the original intention of becoming a demon.

His life was pitiful and miserable. He trained his fists to protect others, but they were never put to use. His respected master and fiancée were poisoned to death by the jealous martial arts school/dojo. He later went to find them and killed all those people with his bare hands, but he was unable to save the lives of his master and fiancée.

Lu Li could empathize with Akaza's experience, and he felt the same way.

He once had a master and a senior sister who loved him and whom he loved, but they were killed by a villain. In the end, he completed his revenge, but he also became an undead soul left in the world who could not find the purpose of living.

So he thanked the End Space in his heart. It was the End Space that gave him a second life and allowed him to find the meaning of living again.

He wants to defeat all the extraordinary and reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

He wanted his name to resound throughout the universe, so that his master and senior sisters in heaven could also hear his name and know that he had not let them down.

Or perhaps, with the magical power of space, some tragedies can be reversed.

Akaza did not have such good luck. After the death of his master and wife, he lost the meaning of life. He met Muzan in a daze and was turned into a demon. In order to take advantage of Akaza's power, Muzan covered up Akaza's memory and turned him into a warlike man who only cared about becoming stronger.

But Akaza no longer wanted to live. He just wanted to see his master and wife, but Muzan left him in the world as a ghost wandering for hundreds of years.

"Let me send you on your way."

Lu Li arrived in front of Akaza, and slashed with his Zanpakutō, drawing a purple-gold blade light and cutting off Akaza's head.

At the moment his head and body were separated, Akaza's eyes first became confused, then became very sad, and finally when he looked at Lu Li, an emotion called gratitude appeared in his eyes.

"May you meet the person you miss..."

Lu Li said calmly, then turned around and blocked Kokushibo's blade with one knife.

"What a clumsy fellow..."

Lu Li slid back while releasing the force, "I hate it most when someone interrupts me when I'm talking."

It has been more than ten minutes since the war started. Facing the siege of Akaza and Kokushibo, Lu Li maneuvered in the three-dimensional battlefield of Infinite Castle, killing a large number of evil spirits in the process.

Now, apart from him and Kokushibo, there are probably no more than ten demons left alive.

"Are we the only two left? That's good. This way you won't run away."

Kokushibo did not pursue him, but held the sharp blade at his side, "Come on, the next battle will be between the two of us."

Lu Li took out a black pill from the storage space and ate it. It was a soul source recovery item that he had bought in the space before. After a long period of high-intensity combat with ghosts and gods and the use of high-level binding techniques, his soul source was greatly consumed.

Just after eating the black meatball, Lu Li almost choked when he heard what Kokushibo said.

He swallowed the black pill, tilted his head and looked at Kokushibo in confusion, "When did you get the illusion that I was running away?"

From the beginning of the battle until now, he has indeed been moving around in the Infinite Castle with the high mobility of Thunder Breathing and Flash Step, but that was for hunting evil spirits and chasing Qingfeng and Douma. When did he become a runaway?

"Is not it?"

Kokushibo held the knife with both hands, "Then let me see your true strength and fight me head-on."

From Kokushibo's perspective, Lu Li had never fought with him continuously. Every time he accepted the attack, he would escape to kill other ghosts. He thought this was undoubtedly a way of avoiding a confrontation.

He admitted that Lu Li was extremely fast, so fast that he could not catch up with him, but that was his moving speed. When it came to getting close to him, whose sword was faster was another matter.

So he didn't think he would be defeated by Lu Li in a head-on confrontation. He was confident in the Moon Breathing Technique that he had studied for hundreds of years.

Compared to the past, he has become stronger. Even if his younger brother is resurrected, he believes that he will be the winner!
"You are Tsugikoku Yoriichi's brother, right?"

As Lu Li spoke, he felt the effect of the restorative items. His soul source was slowly recovering and had already passed the 50% mark.

"Don't mention that name!"

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Kokushibo's voice was extremely angry and he glared at Lu Li.

"Oh, you're so anxious now? Could it be that you couldn't beat your brother even when you turned into a ghost? Could it be that you were killed in seconds by your old and weak brother?"

Lu Li said with a smile, he didn't have a hobby of mocking his enemies during battle, but he found it very interesting to see Kokushibo's wonderful expression.

Sure enough, after hearing what Lu Li said, Kokushibo's face turned as black as charcoal. He said in a gloomy voice, "Who the hell are you?"

Kokushibo now seriously doubts that Lu Li is not a human. No, it should be said that he has determined that Lu Li is not a human, but a "primitive ghost" like Muzan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Lu Li knew so many past events, nor could it explain why Lu Li could use blood vampire magic.

"I?"

Lu Li adjusted his aura, and the lightning around him became stronger during the conversation, "Of course I am a human!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the Flash Step. Amid the sound of electric current and gas explosion, Lu Li attacked like a thunderbolt. In a flash, he was in front of Kokushibo and slashed at Kokushibo's neck.
