Chapter 122 Soul Killing
"Be careful, Muzan is going to self-destruct, he wants to escape!"

When Tamayo, who was watching the battle on a high wall, saw this scene, she immediately shouted a reminder, saying that she was by Muzan's side that year and witnessed with her own eyes how Muzan blew himself up and escaped.

"Thinking too much."

Lu Li sneered and moved closer. He had already finished chanting the Binding Technique before he drew his sword for the first time. He stretched out his left hand and directly released six light prison rods.

Six golden lights trapped Wuzan, suppressing his self-destruction and movements. Then, Lu Li's knife arrived.

It was like dense thunder flashing at a high frequency. Amid Muzan's screams, countless sword lights flashed and manually chopped Muzan into millions of pieces.

When crushing the last of Muzan's brain, the demon prisoner let out a long cry of joy, as if he was excited by the sweetness of the soul.

"Is the knot... over?"

Lianzhu looked at the debris of Muzan all over the ground and found that the flesh was motionless and there was no movement anymore.

The Nine Pillars, Tanjiro and the others were extremely nervous, staring at the pieces of meat on the ground, their eyes moving rapidly, fearing that some of the pieces of meat would sneak away in the darkness in their blind spot.

Lu Li stood in front of Muzan's pile of minced meat, stopped drawing his sword, swung his sword with blood, exhaled a long breath, and the devil pattern on his face slowly faded away. "It's over, everyone can rest assured, I am sure that I have killed Muzan Kibutsuji."

Because of Lu Li's prestige, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Due to the exhaustion brought about by serious injuries and the side effects of ghosts and gods, several pillars immediately sat on the ground and their bodies went limp after their mental tension was relieved.

But what followed was the joy of victory. In this battle, no member of the Demon Slayer Corps died, but they ended the thousand-year-old Demon King. It was a dream-like victory.

The initial uneasiness of the crowd was mainly because most of the pillars were prepared to fight to the death, and this victory seemed to come a little too easily for them.

But Lu Li understood that this victory was well deserved. After all, he alone carried most of the combat power of Muzan's camp.

The Nine Pillars have learned the enhanced version of the combat power of ghosts and gods, and each of them is in full condition. In this case, if he cannot suppress and hold back Muzan who was slashed by him, then he will be really helpless.

When he arrived at the battlefield, Muzan had already become much weaker due to the poison given by Tamayo and Shinobu Kocho. After a hard fight, his physical strength and power were far from his peak.

In this situation, he can completely suppress Muzan head-on and chop this trash boss with no fighting skills into a pile of meat paste.

After all, Muzan does not have a clear advantage in strength over Kokushibo, but his physical attributes are higher and his survivability is much stronger.

Kokushibo, who had higher combat skills, was killed by him, so Muzan would definitely not be his opponent.

In order to prevent Muzan from self-destructing when the situation turned bad, he quietly completed the chanting of the Binding Technique while Jiuzhu and Muzan were talking, just to ensure that Muzan would be killed.

The binding technique in Bleach can not only interfere with reality, that is, affect the body, but it is more of a bondage to the soul. That's why Muzan was unable to complete the self-destruction at that time. After all, self-destruction would split his soul into pieces and attach them to each piece of flesh to escape. Once the soul is imprisoned, he can't use this method.

Similarly, the six-rod light prison locked up Muzan, and thus defined him as a complete soul. At this time, Lu Li used the Demon Prisoner's Zanpakutō to chop Muzan, and it could be said that 'every strike of the sword really hurts'. The moment Muzan was chopped into pieces, it was equivalent to chopping off Muzan's soul. Muzan was naturally doomed to die.

He dared to assure the Nine Pillars that Muzan had been killed by him because he had completed the main mission of this world and received the prompt from the End Space.

[Main quest. The final ring has been completed. Do the pioneers need to return? ]

A question came from the End Space, and Lu Li chose no.

Originally, the explorers had three months to stay in this world. I believe this is the same for both the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan's camp. After completing the main mission, he obtained the qualification to return, but it does not mean that he must return immediately.

His physical condition is currently good and he does not have any injuries that need to be treated immediately, so he can use the remaining three weeks in this world to practice and see what the Demon Slayer Corps will do next.

"Godfather, you are too strong!"

Camellia rushed out from the yard, shouting excitedly. Nezuko also ran out and hugged Tanjiro happily.

The nine pillars discovered that Muzan seemed to be really dead, and they all shed tears, either out of excitement or because of sadness from their past experiences.

At this time, the Lord was supported by Tianyin and walked out, which made the nine pillars at the scene stop their excitement and look at the Lord worriedly, "Lord, how can your body come out?"

However, the lord just waved his hand weakly, then bowed solemnly to everyone, "Thank you all for your hard work."

Because he was too weak, he didn't say much at this time. He just let his wife support him and walked towards the pile of meat of Muzan. After confirming that Muzan was really motionless, the lord breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, the long-cherished wish of our ancestors has been fulfilled and you, the devil, have been eliminated."

What was strange was that after the lord said this, Jiuzhu saw that the scars on the lord's face caused by the strange disease seemed to have become lighter, as if some kind of curse was being lifted.

Lu Li also found this very strange, because he had treated his lord before and tried to use Huidao for treatment, but to no avail.

The Kaido in Bleach can heal injuries, but it is difficult to eliminate diseases, so in the end Lu Li just used a restorative item on the lord to make the lord's condition slightly better.

Now it seems that this is not a genetic disease, but a curse from God. As soon as Muzan died, Ubuyashiki Yoya's symptoms were alleviated. You know, he was completely unable to get out of bed before that.

The other members of the Demon Slayer Corps were also gradually moving towards the mansion. The news of Muzan's death spread quickly. When the Demon Slayer Corps heard the news, they were all excited and burst into tears, feeling a sense of relief that their revenge had been achieved.

The Crow also began to pass this news to the Demon Slayers all over the country. In fact, even without the message, some Demon Slayers had noticed something strange.

Because they were originally fighting with some demons, but in the process of fighting, the demons suddenly turned into a ball of ash, which means that the person who transformed them, Muzan Kibutsuji, has died. "Ms. Tamayo!"

At this time, Yushiro was looking at Tamayo anxiously, because he saw that Miss Tamayo was rapidly aging and seemed to be dying.

Seeing this, Lu Li frowned and walked over.

"Don't worry, you won't die. It's just a side effect of your half-human, half-ghost body."

Tamayo said that when her face got older, she looked like a kind old grandmother.

She had anticipated this situation a long time ago. She was lucky not to die. According to her estimation, she could probably live for another hundred years, which was enough time for her to conduct a lot of medical research.

"Ms. Tamayo is still very beautiful in my eyes!"

Yushiro was relieved to see that Miss Tamayo was not in danger of life and praised her.

Tamayo didn't respond, but just smiled. Although it was difficult for a woman to accept becoming old, the joy brought by Muzan's death was enough to dispel all her worries.

All the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were cheering for their victory, while Zenitsu had already started to pester Tanjiro and Nezuko, insisting that he must call Tanjiro "brother".

Shinobu Kocho's disciple, Kurika Rakuba Sakura also quietly walked to Tanjiro, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered something, making Tanjiro a little dazed.

Lu Li relaxed his mind, smiled knowingly as he watched the scene, walked aside, and sat on the steps outside the yard.

He had consumed a lot of energy in this battle. The high-level ghost path had very high requirements for soul source. Even though he had replenished it with restorative items in the middle, it was already exhausted at this time, so he felt a little dizzy.

At this time, the Demon Slayer Corps' backup force, Yin, had arrived and began to treat the injuries of the participants, but Lu Li waved his hand to refuse.

"Just let me get some sleep."

There were no obvious external injuries on his body. Under the slightly worried gazes of everyone, Lu Li walked towards his room, took out the big bed that the girl in the sailor uniform sold him, and lay down on it.

…………

On a hot summer day, the hot wind blows the bells under the beams, making crisp sounds.

Lu Li sat at the edge of the wooden corridor, eating a piece of iced watermelon and greeting each of the pillars who arrived.

After finishing the last piece of melon, Lu Li washed his hands and walked into the inner room. The ten pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps had already gathered.

Sitting right in front, facing the pillars is the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoya. Over the past few weeks, he has changed every day. Now, the horrific scars on his face have miraculously disappeared, leaving a handsome face.

He smiled and said, "This is the last meeting of the Pillar Union."

As he spoke, he knelt there, bowed his head to the crowd, and put his forehead to the ground. "Thank you all for your hard work. Without your support, I would not be able to do anything with my weak body."

Most of the pillars present respected their lord very much. Upon seeing this, they quickly returned the greetings and praised their lord for his hard work.

After the lord stood up, he said in a gentle voice: "From today on, the Demon Slayer Corps is officially disbanded. I hope everyone can have a beautiful and happy future."

All the pillars present were smiling happily. In fact, after Muzan's death, many members of the Demon Slayer Corps returned home. During this period, the nine pillars, apart from recuperating, also enjoyed various entertainment and leisure activities, waiting for the final order from their lord.

Of course, there are some outliers. Even though Muzan has fallen, they are still practicing and training. For example, Lu Li continues his daily physical training and occasionally seeks Rock Pillar to compete with him.

"Considering that you have been slaying demons for these years, you may not have any skills other than fighting, so our Ubuyashiki family will provide you with positions. If you don't have a clear goal, you can continue to work together."

Ubuyashiki Yoya said that their Ubuyashiki family had accumulated a lot of wealth because each generation of the family heads were very smart, and therefore they were able to support the operation of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Now that the Demon Slayer Corps has been disbanded, he also has to consider the employment issues of the Demon Slayer Corps members. After all, poverty can sometimes be more terrifying than evil spirits.

"Even though I still hate her, I will continue my medical research with Ms. Tamayo."

Shinobu Kocho said with a smile, there was a gleam in her eyes now, and it was obvious that she was in a good mental state.

Because Lu Li fulfilled his promise, he not only killed Douma, but also brought Douma's head to her. However, she did not have the evil taste to torture the corpse, so she threw it under the sun, which settled the feud.

"I should go back and inherit the family business. My father also said that even if there are no more ghosts, there are still many people in the world who need help. I want to continue to live to protect them."

The Flame Pillar had a hearty smile on his face. Their Purgatory Family was also a large family with a long history and was not short of money.

The pillars present expressed their opinions one by one, and in the end, except for the Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho, no one was prepared to continue working under the Ubuyashiki family's business.

The lord did not try to persuade him when he saw this, because he knew that Zhudu was very opinionated and probably already had his own life plan. He was just providing a way out.

However, he still looked at Lu Li curiously, "Mr. Lu, what do you want to do next?"
