"What do you take life for!"
As Abel uttered these words, Muzan's past memories resurfaced.
It's that line again!
It's that feeling again!
Damn it, hundreds of years have passed and Yoriichi is still chasing me!
Abel held the Nichirin Blade, reining in his power so as not to instantly kill Muzan.
The second strike came down, hitting the familiar spot with the familiar feeling again.
Muzan used his own body to confirm and affirm that this Yoriichi was absolutely real.
Damn it, he actually came back from the dead for him.
Muzan's eyes were filled with anger and fear, but mostly fear.
Brain, body, move for me!
Muzan's will to survive now outweighed his fear.
Split! I must split! If I don't split now, I'll be finished here!
Damn body, move!
How could I possibly fall here!
Puff puff puff!
Under Muzan's relentless efforts, his body finally stirred.
Abel watched as Muzan's body began to swell, then seemed to reach a critical point.
Bang!
Muzan's body exploded, shattered flesh bursting out.
Wouldn't it have been better if he had just exploded earlier?
Abel's lips curved upwards.
Muzan had been marked by him, and now he could go to the Infinity Castle to train at any time.
Looking at the scattered chunks of flesh before him, Abel exhaled a murky breath, then declared, "Though the flesh chunks are many, a single strike cuts them all."
The next moment, a net of slashes appeared, and the flesh chunks began to disappear at a visible rate.
Holy crap! He is even stronger than before!
Muzan felt half of his flesh buds instantly severed.
Damn it, run faster!
As the last chunk of flesh was completely severed, the flesh buds carrying Muzan's consciousness had completely escaped.
Abel was very satisfied with this result. He lightly flicked his blade, then sheathed it.
'It looks like Muzan will be holed up at home again, for a few hundred years, or until the Blue Spider Lily appears.'
Abel then took off his wig and earrings. These things were a bit uncomfortable to wear.
Abel returned to his original appearance. However, he did not leave. He turned to look at the Kamado family behind him.
The Kamado family witnessed the entire process. In just a few minutes, their entire worldview was overturned.
The older ones were a bit scared, while the younger ones looked at Abel with admiration.
"Yoriichi-san, who was that just now?" Kie regained her composure and asked.
"He was a demon. Also, I'm not called Yoriichi. You can call me Abel." Abel stretched, saying casually.
Kie hadn't expected that demons truly existed. And if not for Abel in front of her, her family would truly have been gone tonight.
Thinking this, Kie bowed to Abel.
Abel smiled slightly, knowing her meaning, and accepted it with peace of mind.

Infinity Castle.
Ting!
As Nakime plucked her biwa, several lumps of flesh fell from mid-air.
Nakime was slightly stunned. 'Where's Muzan-sama? How did he become a few pieces of minced meat!?'
Then Nakime seemed to have thought of something, and plucked a string, causing several swordsmen with severed limbs to fall out.
Having done all this, she quickly lowered her head, then rapidly emptied her mind, and forcibly deleted the memory she had just witnessed, while also shielding her five senses. This was to avoid bringing trouble upon herself.
The wriggling flesh buds crawled onto the bodies of the swordsmen, then enveloped all of them. Afterward, they moved and transformed into a flesh cocoon.
After a while, Muzan broke out of the cocoon. At this moment, he had lost two bells and gained two melons. That's right, he had become a woman.
"Yoriichi shouldn't attack women, right? Otherwise, how could Tamayo have lived so long?" Muzan muttered to herself.
Then she lowered her head to look at her body. Her originally fair body now had some blemishes. A burn scar remained on her neck, and there was even a gruesome scar extending to her chest. This was the result of Abel's and Yoriichi's two strikes overlapping.
She trembled as she touched the old and new wounds. A small flame suddenly erupted from the wound, and Muzan was scalded.
Muzan knelt on the ground and punched through the floor.
"It hurts! It's so painful! Yoriichi, why did you come back!"
"I just killed some people! Can't you just treat that as a natural disaster!! Why did you have to come back!!"
At this moment, Muzan went berserk, smashing everything around her.
After a while, she calmed down slightly. She looked at Nakime, who was trying to lower her presence, and extended her hand. The next second, half of Nakime's body was devoured.
At this moment, Nakime dared not move or speak, and did not even dare to utter a word, fearing that she might accidentally upset Muzan.
Seeing that Nakime had no reaction, Muzan found it boring, and then flung her aside.
She controlled her body, and a kimono completely enveloped her.
The matter with Yoriichi could be put aside for now. It's not like he would bring a group of people to the Infinity Castle in a few days. The most urgent task now was to vent her anger.
Thinking this, Muzan looked at Nakime. "Nakime."
Nakime understood Muzan's meaning and, dragging her injured body, plucked a string. A large door appeared before her.
Muzan walked towards a room. This room was his laboratory and cafeteria. Above, numerous swordsmen were hung and they were all alive.
Also hanging there was... Kaigaku.
