The moon in the sky was covered by clouds, and the world became dark. The wind blew, making a rustling sound, giving people a creepy feeling.
Muzan Kibutsuji could feel that the pillars were not far away from him. They would be there when he was fully healed.
Ah, it has begun to think about the death of the pillars...
"!?"
moment.
A flash of knife light appeared silently in front of him.
when!
It had no idea when the owner of the knife light appeared. It was like a dead person, without even a trace of breath!
Wait, this is it!
Breath of the Sun!!!
Didn’t this guy just die in the explosion? ! ! !
With the help of the knife light, Muzan Kibutsuji could clearly see the attacker's cheek.
It was the same cheek that I had just seen. It was just rosy, not pale at all.
Now is not the time to ponder why this guy is still alive.
But the question is how to deal with the problem of breathing of the day.
"Narume!"
Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet turned into the roof of a house. In this instant, space was replaced.
Muzan Kibutsuji was still in front of Li Mo, and the ancestor of demons looked particularly embarrassed at this moment.
The sudden change in the environment made Li Mo's attack hesitate for a moment, but he adjusted his breathing and center of gravity almost immediately, and the momentum of the thirteenth style of Sun Breathing in his hand remained undiminished.
With all his strength, Li Mo has revealed his true form, with snow-white ears appearing on top of his head and two white tails waving behind him.
The blade had already touched Muzan's body, and the angle of the Sun Breathing Thirteen Styles perfectly matched the scar left by the swordsman hundreds of years ago, inflicting heavy damage to Muzan once again.
But just as the ground beneath his feet suddenly changed, Muzan Kibutsuji disappeared in front of him as if he had mastered the ability to teleport, which resulted in Li Mo not being able to completely kill Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Mingnu?"
Li Mo searched his memory for the name that Muzan Kibutsuji called out last, and a figure with long hair and shawl appeared in his mind. It seemed to have the ability to enter and exit the Infinite City, and could pull a ghost from the far side into the Infinite City.
——Spatial capabilities.
He remembered the previous Lower Moon he killed when he debuted, who also had noble spatial abilities. Unfortunately, this Naruto girl was a superior replacement for him no matter how you looked at it.
Maybe it was because of this reason that he became the former Lower Moon.
"Just say something, I'm not just snooping!"
Standing on the roof, Li Mo could clearly feel the prying eyes from all directions. With a quick glance, he could see the eyeball-like monster that he had seen nearby a few days ago.
Li Mo didn't like this kind of monster very much, and the magic bullets gathered with magic power flew directly over, exploding these eyeball monsters one by one, until there was no more prying sight around.
He looked at the bright moon in the sky, and his perception told him that the other pillars had also arrived at the battlefield and were now being pulled into this infinite city.
It can be felt that there are countless ghosts in this infinite city. Just a glance at the health bar is enough to make people's head hurt. It's not that the health bar is thick, but simply that there are too many ghosts.
If I were to chop them one by one, how long would it take to finish? I estimated that even if the Sun Blade in my hand was broken, it would not be over yet.
Li Mo is now holding a Nichirin Sword, not a Tenmokage Tachi. In terms of the quality of the weapon, the Tenmokage Tachi is much better than the Nichirin Sword. However, given the Nichirin Sword's special attack properties against demons, after Li Mo returned to the Demon Slayer Corps, the swordsmiths began to forge a sword for Li Mo.
——The existence of the swordsmiths has not been revealed yet. There has been no attack. It is still very safe. If nothing unexpected happens, Tianyin and the children should be there.
And the lord is providing support nearby.
"Ah, I found it."
With his eyes closed, Li Mo looked for Muzan Kibutsuji's current location. The explosion of the Ubuyashiki residence was not only caused by explosives and nails, but also by the spells that Li Mo had laid. Of course, those spells would be destroyed under high temperatures. But at the moment of destruction, the effects above would spread along with the explosion.
——Yes, that is the tracking spell.
"Muzan Kibutsuji's recovery is not slow. We used the breeze to deliver some of the toxins into his body before the attack. But with his recovery ability, it should be fast."
The knife flashed and chopped off the head of a ghost that climbed onto the roof. Li Mo began to act.
Previously, Tamayo had developed a toxin that delayed the division of demons, and combined with a toxin that made demons age, it was enough to weaken Muzan Kibutsuji. Of course, both toxins were backup plans, and in Muzan Kibutsuji's case, the first thing he discovered was the toxin that prevented him from recovering.
That dose is not enough. So hurry up.
But before going to kill Muzan, we have to pay attention to... Naruto, right? The ability to transfer space is indeed troublesome. Even if we find Muzan Kibutsuji, we will only let him escape in the same way.
Spatial abilities are really annoying. Why can vampire magic give rise to spatial abilities? It's really puzzling.
What exactly is a ghost?
What did the doctor do to Muzan Kibutsuji thousands of years ago that turned him from a human into what he is now?
It’s a pity that I can’t go back to the Heian period and see the whole process.
His thoughts came to an abrupt end, and Li Mo made a decisive choice. Even though he knew that Muzan Kibutsuji's destination was not there, the first thing he had to do was to kill Mingnu, who was able to move through space.
There are many Mingnu's eyes in action in the Infinite City. Li Mo used the connection between the eyes and the body to find Mingnu's location. But at this moment, the entire Infinite City is under the other party's supervision.
The illusory shadow was born and went towards Muzan Kibutsuji. The real body entered the shadow and went towards Mingnu.
If every ghost has his own unique blood ghost arts, then Li Mo, who has mastered magic and Yin-Yang magic, can be regarded as a being who has mastered multiple blood ghost arts.
Monsters walk in the shadows.
On another battlefield, the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps rushed into the city under the guidance of their lord and the leadership of the pillars.
Chapter 255: Various Appearances
Ubuyashiki Yoya did not leave the front line. As the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, his current location is not far from the Ubuyashiki house which has become a battlefield.
Originally he should have been where the swordsmiths were, but now he is at the front line, but his wife and children are not here.
He now has a strange talisman on his head, with the help of which he can contact other people.
Now all the information seen by the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps can be summarized here.
The table in front of him was covered with various papers with writings on them, which represented Ubuyashiki Yoya's gradual grasp of the structure of the Infinite City. Pitch-black crows flew throughout the city, constantly feeding back what they saw, allowing him to form an intuitive idea of the structure of the Infinite City in his mind.
This helps him command the "boys" to fight reasonably.
"How is it going."
"It has been handled, Father."
“Can all personnel be contacted?”
"Yes. But... there is no news about Brother Li Mo."
The people who assist Ubuyashiki Yoshiya are two girls, his eldest daughter Ubuyashiki Hinami and Ubuyashiki Hika.
The children of the Ubuyashiki family have to receive education since childhood, and they learn almost everything the head of the family should learn. It is not easy for the Ubuyashiki family, which has been passed down from generation to generation, to continue to this day, and a complete set of measures have been prepared for this.
"Li Jun? Don't worry about him from now on. He will do what he is supposed to do."
The third picture that he saw a long time ago appeared in Ubuyashiki Yoya's mind. His trust in Li Mo overwhelmed everything.
"Yes, Father!"
The two little girls said in unison, their tender voices full of determination.
"Well, now. Hinami, Hikaru, start allocating your forces. The opponent's Twelve Demon Moons have already had a Lower Moon. Let the Seeds deal with the Lower Moons, and let the real pillars continue to advance. At the same time, search for the location of Muzan Kibutsuji.
After finding the location of Muzan Kibutsuji, they quickly arranged for the pillars to go there.
Secondly, if you find an upper string, you can also deploy pillars to intercept it. "
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's arrangements were quite standard, and all his orders seemed cold. But they were all for the purpose of maximizing the use of all the cards in hand. Li Mo's whereabouts were unknown, and all the arrangements were made for one thing.
Create an undisturbed environment for the duel between the "general" and the "commander".
……
"The lord's two daughters are not very old, right?"
The place where Ubuyashiki Yoya was stationed was obviously the command center of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even if they couldn't waste the important combat power "pillars" here, they still had to arrange enough defense forces.
Those "pillars" who have already retired are undoubtedly the best candidates.
The person who spoke was called Rengoku Shinjuro, the previous generation of Flame Pillar. He was severely injured in the battle with Upper Rank Three three years ago, which greatly reduced his strength and thus lost his status as a Pillar.
But this does not mean that Rengoku Shinjuro cannot carry it, so he was arranged here.
"Probably around six or seven years old. Children in the lord's family have always matured precociously." Urokodaki Sakonji answered.
The "curse" of the bloodline caused the descendants of the Ubuyashiki family to wither, which was undoubtedly a negative thing. But it also brought benefits to the Ubuyashiki family. At least the head of each generation could not be said to be gifted, but at the very least he was a king who maintained the status quo.
"Yeah... Come to think of it. That Sun Pillar, is he really back?"
"Didn't you and Huazhu watch him disappear? Why don't you believe it? When the child was defined as missing, you were the only one who could be considered missing, right?"
"I just saw that Huazhu was smiling happily at that time, and I didn't want to break her fantasy... As an elderly person, what she saw and heard at that time was beyond my understanding."
Rengoku Shinjuro spoke. At that time, Li Mo disappeared from their sight out of thin air. If it weren't for the ravaged land around him and the fresh blood on the ground, he would have thought it was a dream.
In the past three years, he was actually very depressed. Even though his wife's illness was cured, every time he thought of the young boy, a shadow of gloom would come over him.
The boy died in his place.
Such thoughts always haunt me.
It was not until recently that I gradually let go of the idea.
It turns out that he will really come back.
"Really? I wasn't there at the time. Rengoku Shinjuro, what do you think will happen in this decisive battle?" said Urokodaki Sakonji.
In fact, he was stunned when he heard the surprising news that his most proud disciple was still alive. It was a good thing that the oldest disciple, the most talented disciple, was still alive.
"What's there to say? Of course we will win."
The third person present spoke up. Unlike Urokodaki Sakonji who wore a mask, Kuwajima Jigoro simply showed his old face.
He is short and has a scar under his right eye, which is a testament to his military achievements when he was young.
The warrior of the past has become a kind elder as time goes by. "I am still waiting for the battle to end, so that I can go back and take care of the child. It will be a good opportunity to tell the child that he doesn't need to learn swordsmanship anymore."
