Volume 5: Demon Slayer Chapter 026 News
The Greedy Dragon ignored Kokushibo's attack and stretched out a claw. With a "whoosh", the sharp claw easily pierced Kokushibo's body.
Its body was huge. One of its claws was bigger than Kokushibo's body, and even one of its fingers was thicker than Kokushibo's thigh. After piercing through Kokushibo's body, it exerted a little force and half of Kokushibo's body was shattered.
But Kokushibo is not dead yet.
Conventional physical attacks cannot kill demons, let alone upper-rank demons like Kokushibo.
But it doesn’t matter. The Greedy Dragon opened its mouth and sucked gently before Kokushibo had finished reorganizing his body.
Kokushibo's incomplete body and flesh were immediately swallowed into the greedy dragon's stomach. His vitality was sucked out, and then he died beyond deadness.
In just a blink of an eye, among the four upper-rank demons, Upper Rank Five and Upper Rank One were killed.
The remaining Upper Rank Four were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.
But of course Emiya would not let this guy escape. The Greedy Dragon was as fast as lightning and swallowed up Hantengu's other clones in an instant.
Even the timid one who was hiding did not escape and was exposed to Emiya's observation Haki and was swallowed by the greedy dragon.
In the end, only one evil ghost survived.
The second of the upper moons, Douma.
Although the other Upper Ranks died at Emiya's hands, Douma was not too scared and still looked at Emiya with a smile on his face.
This is certainly not because Douma is determined and fearless of life and death.
It's because this guy has no emotions at all.
When Douma was still a human, he was unable to understand human emotions. He had no emotional fluctuations since childhood, nor did he have the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness of normal people. He was even more unable to understand the so-called love, hate, and vengeance.
Unlike other people whose personalities become distorted after becoming demons, Douma, when he was a human, was treated as an object of venting pain by countless adults since he was a child. Eventually, he formed the unusual value of believing that "death is salvation for human beings."
So after becoming a ghost, he particularly likes to eat young women , and regards devouring them as "salvation", claiming that those who are eaten will live forever with him.
Precisely because he has no emotions, Douma is not too afraid even when facing death.
But still able to laugh.
But this is just a disguised smile. In reality, he doesn't know how to smile. After all, he is a person without emotions, so how can he smile from the bottom of his heart?
When the Greedy Dragon flew over, Douma knew that he couldn't escape, so he simply didn't run away.
Blood Demon Art·Mist Ice·Water Lily Bodhisattva
An ice man more than ten meters tall rose from the ground. His appearance was like a Bodhisattva meditating with his hands clasped together. Just by looking at his size, one could tell that the power of this ice man should not be underestimated.
Unfortunately, his opponent is the Greedy Dragon.
The Greedy Dragon flew over and crushed the Water Lily Bodhisattva's head with his claws easily, and the broken ice flew in all directions.
"Oh, it looks like I'm going to die."
When Douma saw that his special skills were unable to defeat the Greedy Dragon, he laughed even more happily, but there was no smile at all in his eyes, only a pair of cold and ruthless gazes.
"Come back."
However, at this moment, Emiya gave an order and recalled the Greedy Dragon.
The Greedy Dragon flew to Emiya's side and slowly disappeared.
Douma tilted his head and looked at Emiya, and asked, "You won't kill me?"
"I originally wanted to kill you, but there is someone who wants to kill you more than I do, so I plan to give you to her, and at the same time let you go back and tell Muzan Kibutsuji a message." Emiya said slowly.
Douma asked, "What message do you want me to convey to Lord Muzan?"
"If you want to know the whereabouts of the blue spider lily, exchange it for the doctor's notes from that year. I'll wait for him here tomorrow." Until now, Emiya has not given up the medicine that the doctor prescribed for Muzan Kibutsuji.
The drug that can make people immortal.
You have to know that he is not immortal yet, so naturally he has some desire for immortality.
After Emiya finished speaking, without waiting for Douma to speak, he grabbed Douma's body with telekinesis and threw him far away with force.
whoosh!
Douma disappeared in front of Emiya in an instant like a shooting star.
As for whether he would be smashed into a pulp after landing, it had nothing to do with Emiya. Anyway, it was impossible for a demon to die because of such a small thing.
Afterwards, Emiya returned to the warehouse and rescued Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro and Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen, and had the Greedy Dragon separate a portion of its life force and infuse it into the bodies of the two.
After their bodies gained these vitality, cells divided rapidly and wounds healed at a speed beyond the naked eye.
In just a few minutes, the two men stood up alive and kicking. The vitality consumed to cure them was pitifully small, not even one tenth of the vitality of an ordinary ghost.
"Thank you, Lord Emiya." Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro said loudly.
Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen asked, "Did you deal with the demons outside in a splendid manner?"
Emiya nodded and said, "Upper String One, Upper String Four, and Upper String Five are all dead. Only Upper String Two escaped. He is the enemy of Shinobu Kocho, so I left him to Shinobu Kocho."
The Flame Pillar said loudly, "It is true that Flower Pillar died at the hands of Upper Rank Two, but compared to revenge, I think killing Upper Rank Two is the best option. I also believe that Insect Pillar will understand what you did."
In his opinion, only dead ghosts are good ghosts.
Emiya rolled his eyes and said, "You're too late. That guy has already run away. You should practice Nen hard when you go back. When you have mastered Nen, it won't be too late to kill him when you meet him again."
Although Hephaestus passed down the method of practicing mindfulness, none of them has learned it until now.
Shirou had no intention of forcing things and directly using his hair to open their sperm holes.
These people practiced breathing techniques and had no experience in how to control chi, so if their Jing orifices were opened forcibly, before they had probably learned how to wrap themselves, the chi in their bodies would be lost, ultimately endangering their lives.
So we can only take it one step at a time.
This is also the reason why the two of them were captured by the four Upper-rank demons. If the two of them still learned Nen, defeating the four Upper-rank demons would not be a problem at all.
The Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro said loudly: "Don't worry, Lord Emiya, I will definitely master Nen as soon as possible and kill all of the Kiichi clan."
"Okay, where are the others?" Emiya asked.
Rengoku Kyojuro's expression darkened. "The others have been killed. The two of us are alive because those upper-rank demons wanted to take us hostages. However, they underestimated your strength."
Emiya said "oh" and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it for a moment.
After all, he had no relationship with the group of swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even if they were killed, Emiya would not feel much, and he didn't know how to comfort the two pillars.
But in the end, he just said his condolences.
The Flame Pillar, on the other hand, was more open-minded and told Emiya that the work of the Demon Slayer Corps was inherently dangerous and that many people were prepared to sacrifice themselves when carrying out their missions . Emiya could kill a few upper-rank demons and avenge them.
After hearing this, Emiya couldn't help but sigh, "Let's go."
Having said that, he returned to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters with the Sound Pillar and the Flame Pillar.
Emiya returned to his room and began to digest the vitality he had just gained, while the Flame Pillar and the Sound Pillar went to report to Ubuyashiki Yoya and explained what had happened tonight.
After hearing this, Ubuyashiki Yoya became even more excited, "So, except for Upper Rank Two, all the other Upper Rank demons have died at the hands of Lord Emiya."
The Sound Pillar nodded and said, "Yes, that's what Lord Emiya said."
"This is really great." Ubuyashiki Yoya didn't expect that in just a few days, most of the Upper Moon demons were already dead, and the Lower Moon demons were no match for the Pillars at all.
"This is an unprecedented victory. The strength of those around Muzan Kibutsuji has been severely damaged. I believe that in our generation, we can definitely cut off the chains of this curse."
The Flame Pillar said loudly, "Yes, my lord, I think so too."
Ubuyashiki Yoya said: "The forces of Muzan Kibutsuji have been severely damaged, and they may retreat. The Demon Slayer Corps may have a period of safety."
"However, you must not relax. Recently, you must work hard to learn the method of practicing mind. As long as we master the mind, we can defeat even the upper-rank demons."
"When the time comes, we will concentrate all our strength to completely annihilate Muzan Kibutsuji."
The Sound Pillar and the Flame Pillar looked at each other and said at the same time, "Yes, my lord."
…
At the same time, in Infinite City.
Muzan Kibutsuji's face couldn't be any darker. The four Upper Moon demons joined forces, but were easily defeated by the enemy. Now there was only one Upper Moon Two standing in front of him.
He was so angry that he almost wanted to kill someone.
Muzan Kibutsuji grabbed Douma's neck and almost crushed it, "I originally thought that only the lower ranks were unworthy of being used, but I didn't expect that even you upper ranks are so unworthy."
"Tell me why you still exist, Douma."
Douma's breathing was rapid and his face turned red, but he was not too afraid because he had no emotions and was not afraid of death .
"Blue spider lily."
Muzan Kibutsuji was stunned and couldn't help but let go of his hand.
Then he easily read Douma's thoughts, learned about Douma's experience, and found the words left by Emiya from Douma's memory.
For a moment, Muzan Kibutsuji was shocked.
For thousands of years, he has been searching for the blue spider lily, but has never found any clues. However, now, a clue has appeared, and this mysterious man knows the whereabouts of the blue spider lily.
His first reaction was... this was a trap. The other party wanted to deceive him, take advantage of his desire, lure him over, and then kill him.
