Boom!
A deafening roar rang out.
Visible shockwaves spread, like ripples sweeping in all directions.
The Twelve Kizuki around Muzan all had their expression changed, staggering slightly.
Slice!
Blood splattered, countless thorn whips flew away.
Muzan himself flew backward, smashing the building behind him into pieces.
Boom!
The rubble exploded. Muzan let the fragments fall, veins bulging on his forehead.
"You are a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, aren't you? You also gained this kind of power from him."
Muzan spoke in a low voice, the wound on his arm writhing, already healed completely.
'This woman had almost been killed by Doma before.'
'But in such a short time, she had become this strong.'
'If I could also obtain this kind of power...'
"Sir, I can submit to you. I would be definitely more useful than these Demon Slayer Corps' members. What do you say?"
As long as he acquired this power, then he could find a chance to kill this man.
Deep in his eyes, there was nothing but sinister and brutality.
"Sorry, I'm only interested in beautiful girls."
Ayato shook his head. "And your existence disgusts me."
"Damn it, you're forcing me."
Muzan's expression changed. He said viciously, "Twelve Kizuki, kill him."
The moment his voice fell, eight tubular whips drilled out of his leg.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
White air bursts tore through the air, and the surrounding ground was instantly ripped apart.
In an instant,
Seven tubular whips shot toward Ayato.
This was his trump card, the fastest and most powerful eight tubular whips on his entire body.
Destructive Death: Compass Needle.
Blood Demon Art: Countless Striking Trees.
Blood Demon Art: Ten Thousand Gliding Slime-Fish.
Almost instantly, the Twelve Kizuki also roared and activated their strongest Blood Demon Arts.
Various Blood Demon Arts rained down on Ayato like a violent storm.
They had long known how terrifying the enemy before them was.
If not for Muzan's control, some of them would have chosen to flee.
So they went all out from the very beginning.
The vast, surging Blood Demon Arts enveloped everything around, as if not only Ayato, but everything around him would be completely destroyed.
"Master!"
Erina and the others instinctively assumed defensive stances.
"It's fine."
Ayato smiled. Looking at the approaching Blood Demon Arts, he simply raised his hand flat and casually waved it.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Dozens of bolts of lightning instantly tore through the sky.
The various chaotic Blood Demon Arts first stalled in mid-air, then were instantly crushed.
Seeing this scene,
Muzan and the Twelve Kizuki both widened their eyes, a look of fear appearing on their faces.
They didn't expect their power to be so insignificant before this person.
Feeling death approaching, they all tried to dodge.
But the lightning was too fast.
They could only watch helplessly as it grew closer and closer.
Rumble!
An earth-shattering roar echoed through the sky.
Including Muzan, everyone turned to ash under the lightning.
One strike,
All Demons fell.
Watching this, a dazed look appeared in Kanae's eyes.
'The wish the Demon Slayer Corps had harbored for hundreds of years... was completed just like that?'
'It really felt like a dream.'
"Master, I remember you said you wanted to keep Muzan alive for something."
Coming back to her senses, Mitsuri blinked and asked with some confusion.
"Who said he's dead?"
Ayato smiled faintly. "This guy, although a coward, really loves his life."
With that, Ayato's figure vanished.
At the same time.
In a corner of the Infinity Castle, a lump of flesh hid there.
It was Muzan.
His body was trembling slightly.
This was why he had acted out of character and dared to face Ayato directly.
As long as the other party was sure he had killed him, they should lift the blockade of the Infinity Castle.
With his power,
Even if only this piece remained, given enough time, he could complete his revival.
Hundreds of years ago, he had used the same method to escape from that man.
Of course,
This time was even worse than last.
But as long as he could survive, everything was worth it.
"Having most of my body and all the Demons as sacrifices, the other party should believe it, right?"
Muzan murmured to himself, his eyes filled with fear.
"Wind, seal him."
Just then, a voice descended from the sky.
Like the voice of a god, it drove the raging wind.
"What?"
Before he could react, an invisible force enveloped him completely, then shot into the sky.
"Muzan, did you think your escape was clever?"
Ayato looked at Muzan inside the wind barrier, a playful look on his face.
He didn't expect this guy to become so small.
But that was fine. He believed it wouldn't take long to study him.
"Sp... spare my life."
A human-like terror appeared on the lump of flesh, constantly slamming against the barrier. "I... I can grant you immortality. I believe even with your magical powers, you cannot achieve this."
"As long as I find the Blue Spider Lily, I can grant you perfect immortality too."
"Really?"
Ayato smiled mockingly, flipped his hand, and a blue flower appeared. "Is this the Blue Spider Lily you're talking about?"
His goal was Muzan's perfect immortality.
So he had already sent Gabriel to search the mountains where the original protagonist's family lived.
To be honest,
Apart from the fact that this flower didn't appear at night, it really wasn't hard to find.
"..."
Muzan became agitated.
The wish he had harbored for hundreds of years was right before his eyes.
"Give it to me. Give it to me. I can also grant you immortality."
"Grant me immortality? You're not worthy."
Ayato flipped his hand again, and along with the Blue Spider Lily, he teleported it all to the Empire World.
He believed that soon,
It would give him a satisfactory answer.
