Chapter 121 Preparing to Self-Destruct
Mingnu struggled to crawl forward, and her arms and legs regenerated with difficulty during the crawling process. However, just as they regenerated, the dark sword light fell and they were cut off again.

When Mingnu struggled, Lu Li stabbed a knife into her neck, pinning her to the ground. He squatted down, reached out and grabbed Mingnu's hair, forcing her to raise her head. In the process, the knife cut a long gash on his neck.

Lu Li looked directly into Mingnu's single eye and said, "If you continue to regenerate, I will chop off your head. Understand?"

Mingnu was so frightened that her eyes were filled with bloodshot and she wanted to cry. When she opened her mouth, she could only let out a scream because her throat was pierced.

Lu Li slapped Mingnu's head hard, knocking her back to the ground. The blade rubbed her neck crazily. Then, he grabbed Mingnu's hair and made her look up and look at him. "I asked you if you understood, why didn't you nod?"

Mingnu felt that the man in front of her was more evil than a ghost, a devil among devils. She was so frightened that she didn't care about the pain. Even though Lu Li was still grabbing her hair, she endured the pain of her hair breaking and her neck being cut by the knife and nodded.

"I want to go out, to the place where Muzan just went, open the door for me."

Lu Li instructed that he still didn't understand the structure and principles of the Infinite City, but Mingnu was in control. He couldn't be sure that Mingnu was the creator of the Infinite City. If he killed Mingnu directly, he might be trapped in the Infinite City.

Even if the Infinite City collapsed due to Mingnu's death, he might not be in his original position after being spit out. Moreover, it would take a lot of time for him to rush to the main battlefield from his original position.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Mingnu whimpered, tears streaming down her face from pain and fear, and she shook her head with difficulty.

Regardless of the fact that she was one of the more loyal subordinates of Muzan Kibutsuji, she shuddered at the thought of the consequences of betraying Muzan.

Although Lu Li was an extremely terrifying demon slayer in her eyes, she felt that Muzan was still a little more terrifying.

"It seems that I am still too gentle."

Lu Li showed a kind smile on his face, "Don't be fooled by my kind appearance, but I actually know a lot of torture techniques."

In the past, when facing certain targets for revenge, he did not kill them directly, but tortured them.

Most people who practice martial arts are tough, but they all gave in to the torturous skills he learned from ancient books, such as the bone-breaking technique.

Ghosts can just regenerate at super speed, but that doesn't mean they are not afraid of pain.

“Mmmmm… Mmm! Mmm!! Mmm…”

In the dim room, Mingnu's whimpering and screaming could be heard continuously. After about ten minutes, Lu Li looked at Mingnu with saliva, tears and other liquids all over the floor, and withdrew his evil clutches.

"So do you want me to keep massaging you, or do you want me to open the door and bet that your boss can take me out?"

Lu Li's voice was like the whisper of a devil, and it made Mingnu shudder.

She looked at the pipa in Lu Li's hand, raised her head cautiously and asked for Lu Li's approval with her eyes. After Lu Li nodded, she used another hand to pluck the strings of the pipa.

thump——

Amid the sound of the pipa, a door opened in front of Lu Li and Mingnu, and outside was the Nine Pillars who were fighting with Muzan.

Amidst the violent roar, Muzan released his blood demon technique, and countless thin tentacles waved, forcing the Nine Pillars, Tanjiro and others to retreat.

At this point in the battle, Muzan was exhausted. Although the amount of Tamayo's medicine that entered his body was not large, it was enough to affect his endurance.

Therefore, although it was still very early before dawn, Wuzan had already thought of retreating. He felt that today's hunting operation would be unlikely to succeed, so he was about to force the Nine Pillars to retreat and then retreat back to the Infinite City.

As for Lu Li in the Infinite City, he can completely ask Mingnu to expel Lu Li from the Infinite City. Then he can stay in the Infinite City for hundreds of years. When the pillar of this generation dies, he can come out to find Nezuko.

Anyway, in Muzan's brain, he believes that Nezuko is already a ghost who has overcome the sun, and doesn't know that she has turned back into a human. He thinks it's okay to wait for a hundred years.

Moreover, even if he knew clearly at this time that Nezuko had turned back into a human, it could not stop his determination to escape.

The main reason was that the nine pillars in front of him were too terrifying, especially the tall blind monk, who was simply ridiculously strong. He felt that among his subordinates, perhaps only Kokushibo could defeat the Rock Pillar in a one-on-one fight, and the other upper ranks would most likely be unable to defeat the Rock Pillar.

Muzan believed that if he was in excellent condition, it would not be difficult for him to defeat the Rock Pillar, but he was not fighting one-on-one now, and these despicable pillars had coated their swords with poison, causing his strength to continue to decline and his recovery ability to be greatly reduced.

Every minute and every second he had to devote a lot of energy to deal with the aging of cells in his body, and also to cope with the siege of the nine pillars, which was really strenuous.

What Muzan could not accept the most was that under the leadership of the Rock Pillar, he had fought for so long but still failed to kill a single pillar.

Not only that, he couldn't even kill the few little devils who joined the battle. It was really weird.

boom--

The moment the infinite city gates behind him opened, Muzan's first reaction was relief. He thought that Mingnu was indeed an excellent employee under him, and came to support him without waiting for his orders.

But when he turned around and saw the interior of Infinite City, he saw Mingnu, who was crying and looked like she had been played with, with her hair held up by Lu Li, facing him.

Lu Li stood there, grinning and revealing a row of white teeth. It was a very brilliant smile, and he met Wuzan's eyes.

“Wuwu…Ahh…”

Because Mingnu's throat was plugged by the prisoner, she couldn't make any sound. She could only make sounds to convey a message to Muzan, which roughly meant: Run!

Muzan didn't care about whether Mingnu had betrayed him at this time. When he met Lu Li's eyes, he felt his scalp tingling. He didn't see the ghosts like Kokushibo and Lu Li held Mingnu hostage to open the door. What does this mean?
This means that everyone inside Infinite City has been destroyed!

How long has it been? Twenty minutes?
There was a nameless anger in his heart, and he cursed: "You are all trash!"

In just twenty minutes, that guy Kokushibo was wiped out along with the other Upper Ranks. They were so weak that it made him sick.

It was a pity that he thought Kokushibo was Tsugikuni Yoriichi's older brother, so he had high hopes for him, gave him a lot of blood, and treated him with courtesy in normal times. But when he was really needed, he was useless.

Muzan was furious, but this emotion was soon replaced by fear.

Because the moment Lu Li made eye contact with him, he started at lightning speed, stepped out of Infinite City and rushed towards him.

Even though Muzan complained in his heart that Kokushibo and other demons were useless, he was still afraid of Lu Li who could clear the Infinite Castle in twenty minutes, so he subconsciously wanted to escape.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and sprinted forward, using the dense tentacles extending from his body to support himself on the ground and flew up. He wanted to escape far away!
It's not that Muzan didn't want to enter the Infinite City, but he saw that Lu Li used the knife in his hand to cut off Mingnu's head at the moment before he rushed forward. The Infinite City had lost Mingnu's control and had begun to collapse and close. Even for him, the real master, it would take some time to repair and reconstruct it.

"Wuzan, don't run away!"

Tanjiro rushed forward with a roar, using the Fire God Kagura, and a large amount of flames swept in an arc, blocking Muzan's way.

Because the battle situation was intense, he asked Camellia to protect Nezuko, and he also joined the battle. Because he had a tacit understanding in fighting with Zenitsu and Inosuke, he also brought some trouble to Muzan.

The other nine pillars also took action, using breathing techniques and releasing various sword moves towards Muzan, blocking all of Muzan's escape routes.

After Lu Li walked out of Infinite City, he first glanced at the nine pillars present. Although each of them was injured, none of them was dead yet, which made him very satisfied.

But he arrived in time. Although Muzan was a bit timid, if he fought for a while longer he would find that the nine pillars present did not have much physical strength left.

The sword moves using the breathing method are originally a kind of instantaneous burst skills, and they forcibly use ghosts and gods to enhance their own strength, so their endurance will decrease even more.

If they delay for a few more minutes, the Nine Pillars will begin to run out of strength. The night is long, and the system of the Sun Blade is not enough to kill Muzan. They can only try to delay until sunrise.

From this perspective, the ghosts and gods of the Nine Pillars of Lu Li's teaching are not suitable for long-term protracted wars. Although the stripes have great side effects, they will last a little longer. The price is that the elderly may die after using them up.

Therefore, if Muzan is a little braver and continues to fight, he will have a greater chance of winning, provided that he has not arrived yet.

However, Muzan had been frightened by the bravery of the Nine Pillars, and with his arrival, Muzan completely lost his will to fight.

"You annoying Demon Slayers! Why are you trying to stop me? Can't you just die quietly?"

After being repelled, Muzan said in great annoyance, "Except for your family, what do the other people eaten by demons have to do with you? What's the point of killing demons!?"

He waved his long tentacles and roared, "Compared to your human war, the few people I killed are nothing. Can't you just treat it as a natural disaster and consider yourself unlucky!?"

"ridiculous."

Lu Li's cold voice sounded, and he cut off the many tentacles waving by Muzan with a knife. He came to the front of the battlefield, and together with the Rock Pillar, he blocked Muzan's escape route.

The nine pillars' foreheads were bulging with veins after hearing what Muzan said. They were obviously enraged by this extremely shameless statement. The Rock Pillar roared, "It's time to put an end to your monstrous life that has been twisted for thousands of years. We will never let future generations be harmed by you again!"

"Muzan! I'm going to kill you!"

Tanjiro recalled what happened to his family and became even more furious. While he was in the state of demon power, marks appeared on his forehead again. Then his sword formed a huge ring of fire and he slashed at Muzan.

When Muzan saw Tanjiro's powerful sword, he didn't dare to take it and subconsciously stepped back to dodge. The old wounds on his body were aching slightly. Those were the places where he was cut by Yoshiichi Tsugakuin.

However, although Muzan dodged Tanjiro's sword, he was unable to completely dodge the attack of the Nine Pillars, and since his space for maneuvering was basically blocked, he could not avoid the most fatal sword no matter what.

At this moment, Muzan saw nothing. He could not see the attacks of the Nine Pillars, nor could he see Tanjiro's Fire God Kagura, nor could he see Inosuke's Beast Breathing swordsmanship, nor could he see Zenitsu's tiny lightning.

In his eyes, there was only a sword that seemed to cut through the sky and earth. The pitch-black blade was wrapped in dark purple mist, carrying golden thunder, and slashing down with unparalleled murderous intent.

boom--

The sword fell from above, and after cutting off Muzan, it also cut through the earth, leaving a deep crack that was more than ten meters long. The shape of the crack was as winding as lightning.

"what--"

Wuzan screamed in fear, "Don't come over here!"

As he wailed in pain, he no longer dared to harbor any hope, because Lu Li's knife not only cut off his body, but also destroyed several of his internal organs and brain.

Moreover, the electric current of thunder seemed to be endless in his body, constantly destroying his cell tissue and trying to wipe him out at the microscopic level.

The last time he felt such a tyrannical attack was hundreds of years ago, when a man named Yoshiichi Tsugakuni had slashed him in the same way, and the wound had not completely healed even after hundreds of years.

At that time, he made a judgment without hesitation. After the self-explosion, he split into thousands of small pieces of meat and fled in all directions, barely escaping with his life.

Now is the time to use the same old trick again. In his mind, Lu Li is a man as terrifying as Tsugumi Yuichiro. No, he feels that Lu Li is even more terrifying!
So Muzan stopped thinking about it, his body began to swell, and he was ready to self-destruct!
