With his head severed and a long nail driven through his forehead, Doma's eyes were wide open in disbelief.
He now felt that something was wrong.
Even when he was at a significant disadvantage in his previous battle against Ji Hao, he showed no sign of panic.
The main reason is that he doesn't believe Ji Hao has the ability to slay ghosts.
As long as he doesn't have the ability to slay evil spirits, even if he can't beat Ji Hao, he can still escape!
But now, it's clear that Ji Hao has learned of their demons' weakness of fearing sunlight. He wants to nail Doma to the ground and then wait for the sunrise to punish him with sunlight!
Of course, Ji Hao will at least temporarily refrain from using the power of Yangyan to kill Doma.
Although he wanted to test how well the power of Yangyan could restrain demons, he could not use it on the Twelve Demon Moons for the time being.
The reason is simple: Muzan Kibutsugu is able to read certain memories related to the Twelve Demon Moons.
The death of Upper Moon Two will inevitably attract the attention and covetousness of Muzan Kibutsugu.
If that old cunning fellow knew that Ji Hao could slay demons without using the Nichirin Blade or breathing techniques...
It seems this guy will have to retreat into the Infinite City again, staying there for at least a hundred or two hundred years before he dares to come out and wander around again!
There was nothing that could be done; this so-called Ghost King was just an extremely cowardly coward.
The strongest swordsman from hundreds of years ago, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, with his mastery of the Sun Breathing technique and his extremely exquisite swordsmanship, forced Muzan Kibutsuji to hide until Yoriichi Tsugikuni had completely died of old age before he dared to emerge from seclusion again.
Especially after he came out of seclusion, the first thing he did was to take revenge on the Demon Slayer Corps, and he gradually began to search for and collect all of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's connections at the time.
The goal is to take revenge and completely sever the lineage of the Breath of the Sun!
This is also why the protagonist's family in Demon Slayer was massacred by Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Thanks to a kid I met along the way, I learned exactly what your weaknesses are."
Ji Hao flicked the long sword in his hand, and black demon blood was scattered all over the ground.
"Yeah..."
Doma's head didn't struggle; he simply stared calmly into his colorful eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
"Sir... do you intend to wait until dawn?"
At this moment, Kocho Kanae, whose lungs were mostly unharmed after the ice crystals had been repaired and melted by the warm current of Yangyan bestowed by Ji Hao, slowly walked over, leaning on her Nichirin Blade.
She glanced at the doma that had been broken into pieces and nailed to the ground, then turned her gaze to Ji Hao and spoke softly.
"Not necessarily, but as you've seen, I myself don't have the means to slay demons."
Ji Hao glanced at Kocho Kanae and smiled faintly, as if he couldn't reconcile his current state with the wild figure he displayed during battle.
"I... do have a way to slay demons. This sword is called Nichirin Blade. When used with breathing techniques, it can cut off the demon's head and make its immortality disappear."
Kanae Butterfly raised the Japanese-style Nichirin sword in her hand and handed it to Ji Hao, speaking solemnly.
"I don't know any breathing techniques, and besides, you have to cut off his head to kill him?"
Ji Hao looked at the pink-bladed katana but did not take it.
After all, he didn't know any breathing techniques, but he did know how to regulate his breathing and meditate.
"Yes, the only way is to cut off the demon's head!"
Kanae Kocho nodded firmly and said very seriously.
"Why don't you cooperate and let this lady kill you? That way we won't have to wait until dawn."
Ji Hao turned his head and glanced at the head of Douma, which was nailed to the ground.
"..."
Doma smiled gently and remained silent.
Does he look like a fool to you?
Even if his head is nailed to this spot, it will never choose to actively reassemble with his body.
"Looks like that won't work, but I never intended for you to be stuck on the ground like that anyway."
Ji Hao smiled, turned to look at Kocho Kanae, and pointed to the dense forest path he had rushed out of.
"Madam, could you please go to that tree over there and retrieve that jar-like thing? Be careful, the contents are very dangerous. Please, please don't open it!"
"...Okay, I'll go take a look."
Kanae blinked, hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and walked towards the tree.
Soon, she returned slowly, carrying a jar that was a size larger than her head.
Look at the puzzled expression on her delicate face.
I knew she was very curious about what the liquid in the jar was.
But she was obedient and didn't intend to see what was inside.
She simply presented it to Ji Hao, asking him with some confusion.
"What is this thing?"
"Extra concentrated sulfuric acid."
Ji Hao smirked, looking at Konoha Kanae who had no idea what it was, and continued speaking.
"Hmm, it might just be an excellent weapon for slaying demons. You can think of it that way."
After saying that, Ji Hao ignored Kocho Kanae's expression and stepped forward to forcefully pull out the nail that was driven into Doma's forehead.
Grabbing his hair and pulling him up, Ji Hao looked at the still calm Douma in front of him and spoke calmly.
"Aren't you going to put up a fight? This might be your last chance."
Upon hearing this, Douma's colorful eyes flashed.
The next moment, two fleshy arms suddenly grew from his broken neck and smashed down hard on Ji Hao's head!
"Swish!"
"careful..."
Before Kanae, startled, could finish her exclamation, two flashes of light appeared, and Doma's newly grown arm was severed.
"I was just kidding, you don't even have a chance."
Ji Hao smiled and tossed the dagger in his hand. He always kept the dagger at his waist, so it was very easy to draw it.
"..."
Doma no longer wanted to talk to this damned and utterly wicked human.
And he was a man, so Douma really didn't want to say another word to him!
However, for Ji Hao, whether Doma dislikes him or not is not important.
The important thing is that Doma is about to die.
As Ji Hao skillfully opened the switch on the top of the carbon steel storage tank, a pungent odor immediately wafted out.
Looking at the jar containing a viscous liquid that emitted a pungent odor.
Doma suddenly felt a sense of unease.
However, Ji Hao would not give him the right to choose.
He threw the doma's head into the jar and quickly shut the jar.
The next moment, Tongmo, who had been thrown into the tank of highly concentrated sulfuric acid, was directly immersed in the highly concentrated sulfuric acid.
At first, he only felt a little hot, but soon, the pain suddenly struck, causing him to involuntarily let out a series of miserable screams!
pain!
It hurts so much!
He wanted to regenerate his fist and forcefully break open this damned container, but he found that his regenerative ability had been completely suppressed!
"Aaaaaaah, damn it, what is this thing?!" The usually calm Doma went completely insane. He howled and screamed, but then quickly fell silent.
Because his vocal cords had been damaged and corroded.
"What... is going on?"
Hearing this wail, even Kanae Butterfly's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of pity.
That's just who she is.
She hunts demons not only to save humanity, but also to liberate those who have become demons.
Supported by this belief, Kanae Kocho is very gentle, but she never holds back when it comes to slaying demons.
After all, only by gently slaying the evil spirits can they be freed from their suffering.
As for Doma, he certainly won't survive; the Upper Moon Two is destined to disappear here!
