"One of us will deal with Muzan, and the rest of you will handle him. I'll go cut down the demon who created the Infinity Castle first." Iguro Obanai caressed the nichirin blade at his waist.
"That kind of place is actually my advantage. No matter how the spatial structure changes, I can solve it in the fastest time."
"Without such a hiding place, Kibutsuji Muzan is nothing more than a cornered beast that hasn't completely died."
Sanemi Shinazugawa clenched his fists, which made cracking sounds: "It's decided then. The three of us will set off first. The Upper Moons are left to you."
"Don't still be struggling after the three of us have taken down Kibutsuji Muzan."
Shinobu Kocho smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Shinazugawa." Deep within her purple eyes, a hatred so thick it was almost solid surged, and her skill involuntarily activated.
'Sister, tonight I will avenge you.'
Giyu Tomioka, with a cat-like grimace, said expressionlessly: "Then I'll be off first." After saying that, he turned and left.
He just wanted to quickly deal with the Upper Moons, then rendezvous to take down Muzan and return to Mount Sagiri to see Sabito. If he was late, Sabito might have already reincarnated.
Kyojuro Rengoku also nodded: "I'm off too. I'll join everyone after I deal with the Upper Moons."
Iguro Obanai: "If you, Flame Pillar, can make it before we finish off Muzan."
Kyojuro Rengoku slapped his chest, his voice booming: "I will do my utmost!"
"Then, I'm leaving now."
After Kyojuro Rengoku finished speaking, he also turned and left.
Gyomei Himejima nodded: "Then let's all set off. The temperature is gradually dropping, and night will soon fall."
Although he couldn't see, his other senses were greatly enhanced. Even without eyes, his mind could clearly perceive everything.
"Everyone has rushed to their own battles." Yaozai Ubuyashiki looked at the Hashira turning and heading to their respective battlefields, sighing: "Yet I can't help at all."
Just then, a skill activated, and some blurry images appeared in his mind, his face instantly changing drastically.
"This, this is!"
The scene was a fiery red, innocent people screamed, and demons with blood-red eyes brazenly appeared before the world. Soldiers, police, gunshots, and shouts filled the air without end…
Yaozai Ubuyashiki had a splitting headache, clutching his head with both hands. Cold sweat continuously streamed down his temples, soaking his clothes in just a few seconds.
"Hoo~ hoo~ hoo~" He gasped for air in large gulps.
Amane Ubuyashiki was startled and quickly supported his arm: "Lord Yaozai! What's wrong?"
Yaozai Ubuyashiki said excitedly: "Quick! Quickly gather all the swordsmen and head to Tokyo! Disaster! A great disaster! All the demons have appeared!"
"This must be Kibutsuji Muzan's final madness while being hunted by the Hashira! We absolutely cannot let him succeed!"
He did not seek Lord Xia Wei for a solution. Lord Xia Wei had already bestowed them with a Blessing. If they begged the gods for everything, what use would those who had been granted a Blessing be?
"What?" Amane Ubuyashiki was stunned, but quickly understood: "I understand!"
The Ubuyashiki couple returned to their mansion at the fastest speed, dispatching all their Kasugai Crows to deliver the mobilization letter to the swordsmen currently on missions across the country.
…
The sun gradually sank behind the mountains, and the sky's color transitioned from bright orange-yellow to deep blue-purple. Night began to fall until the last ray of sunlight vanished below the horizon.
The big cities began their nightlife, while town residents kept their doors shut. The barking of dogs and the cawing of crows added a chilling touch.
Shinobu Kocho walked expressionlessly towards the luxurious, religious-looking mansion ahead. Deep within her purple eyes was a dark, gloomy tint, and a terrifying oppressive aura seemed visibly to emanate from her.
The religious organization ahead was the most famous yet most low-key in the city's outskirts, with over two hundred followers.
"What a cunning demon! Right under the Demon Slayer Corps' noses! Using humans to trick ignorant women into its nest to be eaten! No wonder it wasn't discovered!"
The Demon Slayer Corps' intelligence personnel only focused on incidents caused by demons. The Demon Slayer Corps never expected a demon to establish a religion and exploit humans.
"Hey! This is the Eternal Paradise Cult. What do you want? Leave quickly."
"That's right, hurry up and go. Our founder has already said we're not recruiting new followers."
Two burly men dressed as priests, guarding the entrance of the 'Eternal Paradise Cult' mansion, impatiently waved their hands at the girl walking straight towards them.
"Seriously, how many times have we said it? There are still so many ignorant people running over. Is our Eternal Paradise Cult a place you can just walk into?"
Shinobu Kocho didn't speak. A bottle appeared in her hand. She opened the cap and, under the two burly men's strange gazes, poured the purple liquid from the bottle onto the ground.
The moment the purple liquid touched the ground, it instantly evaporated into a purple mist.
"This… is…"
Before the two burly men could finish speaking, their eyes rolled back, and they collapsed onto the ground.
"It's just some wisteria poison with a bit of a sedative added. You were also deceived by a demon, but having done so many bad things for a demon, you'll definitely go to hell, won't you?"
Shinobu Kocho said expressionlessly, then walked directly into the 'Eternal Paradise Cult' main gate.
The wisteria poison would spread with the wind throughout the demon's lair.
This was her newly formulated wisteria poison, dozens of times more potent than previous versions.
Over two hundred people in the Eternal Paradise Cult successively collapsed and fell asleep.
Shinobu Kocho walked directly into the largest room. Cracking sounds emanated, mixed with a strong smell of blood amidst the wisteria fragrance, making her feel nauseous.
Behind a screen, a demon was seated, slowly chewing on a woman's severed arm. When he saw Shinobu Kocho enter, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"The moment I smelled the wisteria, I knew someone from the Demon Slayer Corps had arrived. It makes me feel so uncomfortable; my limbs feel a bit weak."
When he looked closely at Shinobu Kocho, he was surprised.
"Oh, a beautiful woman, and such a powerful oppressive aura. If I'm not mistaken, you must be a Pillar, right? How fortunate." The demon spoke with a gentle, friendly smile, like a priest.
"You are even stronger than the female Pillar I met four years ago. This truly surprises me."
Shinobu Kocho saw the enemy she had thought about for four years. Her calm expression could no longer be maintained, her eyes filled with hatred, and she gritted her teeth.
"White hair like it's been drenched in blood, and rainbow eyes! Upper Moon Two!"
Buzz—
All of Revenge Valkyrie's skills activated. Her basic abilities instantly rose to the same level as the demon before her, and her hatred continuously boosted her physical capabilities.
At the same time, her developed ability "Night Strife" activated, instantly doubling her oppressive power.
The bone-chilling oppressive force instantly spread. Upper Moon Three's face instantly changed drastically, and his body stiffened the moment the oppressive force struck.
"This oppressive feeling! How is this possible!"
The image of the man in the swordsman's uniform, with fiery red hair and six demon eyes, automatically appeared in his mind.
He had only felt such oppressive power from that man.
Clang! The sound of a nichirin blade being unsheathed rang out, and the flash of the blade instantly formed a sword shape.
"Insect Breathing! Dance of the Bee Sting: True Thrust!"
A cold, hoarse voice filled with hatred followed closely behind.
Douma hadn't fully reacted, his eyes hadn't even clearly seen the movement, yet his right eye was already blind. The opponent's nichirin blade had pierced through his head from his right eye.
