Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?
Everyone is playing their trump cards
Just as Muzan Kibutsuji expected, the swordsman, the demon that he had dreamed of for thousands of years and tried to create, who was not afraid of sunlight, was standing alone like a Buddha statue in this base that he easily found, waiting for the arrival of his enemy who was invincible to gods and Buddhas.
Looking at Fang Yi, who was kneeling in the room with an unsheathed famous sword on his legs, Muzan Kibutsuji couldn't help but smile.
The enemy was sitting in a room with the door wide open. He was the only one in the entire courtyard. Excluding all options, there was only one answer.
Muzan Kibutsuji lifted up his long hair that was slightly blocking his vision, showing his beautiful face to the enemy, and pulled the kimono that was about to fall off and shook it a little. I don't know why these days, it likes to do these things very much.
After Muzan Kibutsuji finished his lowly geisha-like moves to seduce customers, he began to carefully look at the enemy in front of him.
Looking at the enemy from the shared vision of his subordinates is like watching a surveillance video with low definition, and can only see roughly.
It is also very curious about what kind of person this talented swordsman is, and what kind of person is this swordsman who killed several of his upper-rank ghosts and suddenly became a ghost that is not afraid of sunlight.
Now, from his figure to his face, Muzan Kibutsuji is very satisfied, and he has to admit that this swordsman is a charming person.
So he began to look at Fang Yi's body and began to plan how to eat this swordsman.
"It's a bit too rough to eat it directly. It's better to cut it into two pieces and take his life, and then slowly taste it from the limbs.
"You can leave a head and some parts, just like Yuhu made a specimen of a woman and gave it to Douma before, and make a specimen, which will become my only collection in a thousand years.
"As a souvenir of my finally being able to walk in the sun, this person is still somewhat qualified.
"Oh, I almost forgot, he has become a demon, so I can see how much of his flesh and blood I eat to become a creature like him. Maybe I can "taste" the swordsman who uses the breathing method from another angle."
After Muzan Kibutsuji finalized Fang Yi's "use" plan, he looked around and casually said the words he had prepared long ago, which would definitely make the swordsman despair.
"If I guess correctly, you seem to have the will to die?
"Did you plant the bomb that weakens Douma here, trying to use yourself as bait and want to die with me?
"Did you even specifically let the other swordsmen evacuate, and made a second strategy to encircle and suppress me if I was not killed by you?
"Tell me your name, I can consider letting you live a little longer."
--
After hundreds of years of confrontation, Muzan Kibutsuji is too familiar with the style of these "cockroaches" of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Breathing techniques, sword skills, human bodies, it has seen them countless times through the ghosts under its command, and it has reached the point of being bored and bored.
They come one after another, and although there are occasional hesitations or betrayals, they are generally like wild grass growing wildly in the wasteland, even if these swordsmen are killed and burned one by one with a prairie fire.
But as long as the next "spring" comes, these swordsmen will appear tenaciously like new sprouts emerging from the barren and empty ground.
These people are not afraid of death, and they are also very sacrificial.
After saying this, Muzan Kibutsuji wanted to enjoy the surprise or despair on the enemy's face when his strategy was seen through, even if it was a little bit of fear.
But Muzan Kibutsuji didn't see anything. It only saw the man slowly stand up, slowly pick up the knife on his leg, stare at him step by step, and unexpectedly take the initiative to walk towards him.
But when the swordsman stood up, Muzan Muzan suddenly felt a rare sense of oppression from the swordsman.
It was like two huge rocks were suddenly placed on his shoulders, making him feel suffocated and unable to move.
Looking at the swordsman approaching him, Muzan Muzan felt his skin suddenly tighten, and every cell in his body tightened up.
Facing this feeling, Muzan Muzan, who had become a little abnormal in the past few days, felt a strange pleasure spreading from his body, and he became more interested in Fang Yi.
He suppressed this strange feeling and extended his invitation to Fang Yi.
"A sharp blade honed to the extreme? I really underestimated your talent before.
"If I give you more time, I'm afraid you can become stronger. You are really extraordinary, so beautiful, so tempting.
"You don't have a reason to kill me, right?"
"I have a feeling that eating a piece of your flesh will be enough to achieve my goal, so."
The cruel and irrational smile on Muzan Kibutsuji's face no longer showed, but a sweet smile to Fang Yi. He began to try to recall and imitate the expressions and movements of those lowly women when he was disguised as a geisha before, making a poor imitation and making a tempting invitation.
"Come and rule the world with me. I have a feeling that you can take me to see different scenery.
"The things that are strongly suppressed and hidden under your body are the same, homogeneous, thorough, hopeless, and innate evil as mine.
"The body of a ghost is very beautiful. You should have some perception. My body is even more special. The size and flesh can be adjusted to your liking. It is also very wonderful as a partner.
"How about this? My suggestion, kill these swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps and come with me to a new world!"
As Muzan Kibutsuji's words reached Fang Yi's ears, the prompt sound of the friendship level increase and the sound of the task increase in the main god space also sounded.
『Due to unknown reasons, the character [Muzan Kibutsuji]'s friendship level with you has changed from [-71/100] to [97/100]. 』
——
[Hidden task has been triggered]
[Muzan Kibutsuji's invitation]
[Task reward: Follower quota x1 (limited to [Muzan Kibutsuji])]
[Task requirements: Destroy all the 'pillars' of the Demon Slayer Corps, kill 90% of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, and clean up the Ubuyashiki clan]
[Hint: No. s12891, the main god space reminds you that due to unknown factors, this character has expressed his willingness to follow you. You can use the settlement reward and points of this task as a price to bring this follower. 】
——
After saying this, Muzan Muzan became even more excited, and the words on his mouth continued.
"I am more valuable and more interesting than those weak swordsmen.
"Don't you think it's boring to maintain that boring disguise?
"Kill if you want to, eat if you want to, and release your nature as you please."
Fang Yi interrupted Muzan Muzan's words, pulled out the [California Kiyomitsu] in his hand, and gave a brief answer.
"Your proposal is very tempting, but I have only one answer.
"I refuse."
Along with Muzan Muzan's eyes, there was a somewhat ridiculous swing of the knife, and it came with the words that it felt that the other party's brain was abnormal because of turning into a ghost.
"Because it's too late, from the moment I was born, from the moment I opened my eyes, I didn't intend to become that kind of person.
"What's more, do you know how much time I spent to see you?
"I spent a full six days waking up from that base, and did countless homework.
"So, you can only die."
——
Hearing Fang Yi's words, Muzan Kibutsuji laughed in anger, and a large bag the size of a human head swelled up on his back instantly. Countless flesh whips broke out of his body and attacked Fang Yi.
Each flesh whip had sharp spikes, flashing a deadly cold light, as if to tear everything in its way into pieces, and it was as impenetrable as a storm.
The flesh whips drew arcs in the air that were difficult to capture with the naked eye, like the tentacles of some indescribable monster, swiftly and fiercely pounced on Fang Yi, blocking all his dodging space, trying to take him down in one fell swoop.
Muzan Kibutsuji's beautiful face flashed with a strange blush, and excitement visible to the naked eye, and the words he uttered made Fang Yi wonder if Liao Lin had given this ghost something strange.
"I've been waiting for a ghost like you for nearly thousands of years.
"Don't worry, I'll be very gentle. I will tear you apart, eat your body, and leave you with only your head, which I will feed to your swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"You will become a creature like me."
"You are weaker than when you were a human after becoming a demon. Is it because you didn't eat humans? Let's taste human flesh together."
The only answer to it was the knife in Fang Yi's hand. Although in the eyes of Muzan Kibutsuji, the opponent's knife swinging speed was slower than the night when he killed several upper rank and Chen Cheng with one knife, the novel knife skills on it stimulated its fighting spirit.
[Sun Breathing·Pond Shadow Without Trace]
Under the guidance of Yuichiro Tsugakuin, Fang Yi transformed the sword skill known as absolute defense that he "learned" from Tomioka Giyu [Water Breathing·Eleventh Form·Nagi] into his own [Sun Breathing·Pond Shadow Without Trace]
With the blessing of a somewhat sluggish body and a small amount of energy, it still produced incredible results.
Facing the violent storm-like attack The meat whips that came, Fang Yi's [California Clear Light] danced, and a calm and peaceful mirror was drawn in front of him, which was like a bottomless dark pool that swallowed everything that was difficult to explore. With the swing of the blade, all the dozen meat whips that Muzan Kibutsuji attacked were cut off.
These meat whips that fell to the ground after being cut off were like several squid tentacles that fell on the iron plate and were roasted. Under the effect of [Red Blade], they curled up and struggled.
Muzan Kibutsuji let out an alluring moan in pain, and then his face showed a more wild smile.
"You are really 'delicious'!"
"Your hands are shaking, how long can your [Red Blade] and this amazing sword skill last?
"I guess it won't be more than two attacks.
"Well, just treat it as a fun part, and let me show you my anger and my true strength."
The anger in Muzan Kibutsuji's mouth was transmitted to its body like a substance, and the flesh whips that were regenerated after the speed of light behind it became more and more violent.
The number of flesh whips became more and more, faster, and denser, like a sudden rainstorm, ruthlessly smashing towards Fang Yi.
Each flesh whip twisted wildly as if it had an independent life, like a spear that broke through the air, and when it came into contact with the air, it made a piercing scream like tearing an object.
Countless flesh whips crisscrossed and formed a net that could not be escaped or avoided, coming from all directions to tightly wrap Fang Yi, ready to "digest" him.
Every time a flesh whip was swung, the strong wind attached to it was enough to smash the pig iron, and the ground near the flesh whip was plowed into deep marks by the strong wind attached to it, bringing up scattered gravel.
——
Looking at the countless flesh whips that attacked him like giant pythons, with an amazing sense of oppression, layer upon layer.
Fang Yi just used the style [Sun Breathing·Pond Shadow Without Trace] again.
He was like a helmsman standing alone on the deck facing a storm that could devour everything and destroy the world, still trying to control the big ship to escape the storm without changing his face, and like an enthusiastic citizen trying to stop a runaway train, he swung his knife at Muzan Kibutsuji's more violent attack.
In front of Muzan Kibutsuji's overwhelming attack, Fang Yi's swing of the knife seemed to shine with some self-confident stupidity, and it was like the funny performances of street clowns.
But he still tried to cut off Muzan Kibutsuji's more violent attack this time.
However, Fang Yi's body seemed to become slower due to the high-speed blood flow. His hand wielding the knife began to tremble, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks.
Waving his arms as if to self-mutilate, and dodging with all his strength with his weak body, Fang Yi finally managed to narrowly avoid Muzan Kibutsuji's attack.
However, Muzan Kibutsuji didn't give Fang Yi any chance to breathe. When Fang Yi's chest was heaving, like a person who had been suffocating for a long time and finally had time to breathe, in the half second of relaxation, it gave a more cruel and violent attack.
More desperate words followed.
"Except the sun, nothing can kill me!"
"Try hard, and see how many times your fragile body can block my attacks!
"If you are willing to tell me your name, I can give you a few seconds to breathe."
Faced with the endless attacks and Muzan Kibutsuji's teasing words, Fang Yi said nothing, but changed from holding the knife with two hands to holding the knife with one hand, waving his fist with one hand to bring up the fist force, and sprinting towards Muzan Kibutsuji with the other hand.
Muzan Kibutsuji looked at Fang Yi who launched a desperate charge towards him, and his body's excitement reached the extreme. He specially reduced the number of tentacles so that Fang Yi could charge all the way to him.
Looking at Fang Yi's face gradually getting bigger in his field of vision, his face showed a smile that was difficult to describe in words.
It was a twisted smile mixed with excitement and overflowing with victory, and the declaration of the winner was spit out from its open and closed red lips.
"There is a bomb buried in the ground in the courtyard. You want to detonate it with your fist, right?"
"You are too confident to use the same moves you used on Douma on me, Muzan Kibutsuji, for the second time.
"What do you think I did with the meat whip that destroyed the ground just now?
"You set a trap with a bomb to kill me together, but I eliminated it all when you focused all your attention on my attack just now. "
Looking at Fang Yi, who released his fist aura but showed a somewhat desperate expression because the bomb that he had moved away from the ground with his flexible flesh whip had not exploded.
The flesh whip of Muzan Kibutsuji moved, smashing the Sun Blade in Fang Yi's hand while trying to pull his body towards himself and merge with himself.
But when Fang Yi rushed to Muzan Kibutsuji, the fist aura he swung in his hand did not swing at the ghost king, but at his own body.
When the expression on Muzan Kibutsuji's face changed from confusion to shock, then to anger, and finally to excitement, the [Stinger No. 1] that Fang Yi placed on his body exploded.
At such a close distance, with the shrapnel ejected from the bomb, a Half of it was inserted into Fang Yi's chest, and the other half flew into the body of Muzan Muzan who was unable to dodge, piercing several bloody holes on his snow-white body.
——
Fang Yi's tactic of dying together not only did not annoy Muzan Muzan Muzan, but instead ignited Muzan Muzan's fighting spirit.
The ghost king twisted his body, shook the snow-white, and then expelled all the shrapnel in his body. With an elegant step, he slowly walked towards Fang Yi who was lying on the ground and seemed to have lost the ability to move.
It picked up Fang Yi, hugged his body tightly, and squeezed his body against its snow-white, with a feeling of preparing to merge with Fang Yi.
Muzan Muzan Muzan looked at the pillars rushing towards him outside the courtyard wall, and said words of praise.
"It seems that your tactic of dying together is not working?
"The amount of poison on your bomb is too little, this amount is not enough.
"Let's "die together" well. "
Muzan Kibutsuji squirmed, and began to prepare to absorb Fang Yi's flesh, and began to taste the feast he had been craving for thousands of years.
After sucking Fang Yi's two hands from his chest, Muzan Kibutsuji was about to swing the meat whip behind him to clean up the pillars, but he found that the meat whip behind his body drooped listlessly in an instant.
It found that it was constantly aging and getting weaker.
It looked at Fang Yi with a smile on its lips, and its words were full of incredible shock.
"You buried this poison in your body, and endured these poisons constantly destroying your flesh and weakening you.
"You fought me with this weak body in this situation without changing your face?
"After these poisons were decomposed, the accumulation of human transformation drugs formed a compound poison, and finally made me age continuously?
"The real trap is you? But how did you instantly become a human and prevent me from gaining the ability to not fear the sun?"
The answer to him was Fang Yi, who lost his arms, and the echoed from his mouth echoed in the courtyard, the swordsmen who were passing into the ears of the pillars and the ghost killing team, inspiring everyone's fighting spirit.
"Don't underestimate human will.
“The poison flows in my blood, even though every breath and action of mine brings me a burning sensation that life is worse than death.
“But when I think that my body will always turn into the coffin that will ruin you, I am so excited that I can’t help myself.
"Go to hell with me, no misery."
Looking at the pillars of the Demon Slayer team that were rushing towards him, and Fang Yi, who was missing his arms and showing the winner's smile, Muzan Kimuzan finally burst into laughter.
"What did I think it was? Going to hell?
“For the past thousand years, more than one person has told me this, but I still survive.
"If there are gods and Buddhas in this world, their faces should be the same as those of me, Muzan Kimuzan!
"Mysterious girl!"
With Muzakaya Kitsumi's cry, the door suddenly opened out of thin air appeared under his feet as many swordsmen attacking Muzakaya Kitsumi.
It was the butler of Infinity City, the new 4th · Mingnu, who used the ability to transfer space to instantly change the battlefield.
Fang Yi, all the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Team and Muzan Kimuzan began to fall, like an unconscious person falling to the bottom of the sea, they fell into the Infinite City, the base camp of Muzan Kimuzan.
——
Infinite City.
Muzan Kimuzan is independent of the platform. Although his body is constantly weakening, the vitality that has accumulated through cannibalism over the past thousand years has been lost like sand that cannot be held in his hands.
Its body was unprecedentedly weak, so weak that the pillars of the Demon Killing Team kept attacking it, and perhaps they had the chance to kill it.
But Muzan Kimuzan was not panicked because he also had Liao Lin and Kuroyuki, as well as Naruto and Prostitute Taro, four of them were fighting power.
After Fang Yi lost his combat effectiveness, the Demon Killing Team had no chance of crossing these four bodyguards to kill him.
Therefore, it turned itself into a flesh cocoon and began to slowly decompose the violent compound poison in its body.
This poison is more violent than the poison that invaded the body that Hei Shi Mou and Tongmo that night. It not only takes effect faster when it is very small, but also greatly inhibits the cell activity in its body.
Therefore, the geisha model it likes very much recently can no longer be maintained, and it has to turn back to the man he was a thousand years ago, which made Muzan Kimuzan a little dissatisfied.
While it breaks down the poison, it begins to think about the next plan.
“Although the swordsman became a human and lost his arms, he obviously had the qualifications to become a ghost who was not afraid of the sunlight again.
“I didn’t seem to have changed anything after eating his flesh and blood as a human being.
"I'd better call Miaomiao to teleport him without resistance and temporarily control him to prevent him from losing too much blood and dying.
"When I recover, I will turn him into a ghost again and eat his flesh and blood again."
Muzan Kimuzan, who had finalized the next strategy, made a sound again through the blood cocoon and was ready to start the operation.
"Ninhu, teleport the swordsman who is fighting with me, don't let him die."
However, after a moment, what appeared in front of Muzan Kimuzan was not the Fang Yi he was thinking about, but Liao Lin, who should have fought against the "pillar" of the Demon Killing Team.
Liao Lin looked at Muzan Kimuzan through the blood cocoon, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He knew that he was humble in this mission and licked himself, the female ghost Muzan, who had been stinking feet many times, and was about to harvest the most fruitful and sweet fruits.
After a few seconds, the other party will become his own cauldron, and he will suck the female ghost dry and gain countless skills.
Liao Lin thought to himself.
[I wonder what kind of experience this female ghost, Muzan, can bring me? 】
——
The ugly-looking swordsman suppressed his excitement and slowly walked towards the blood cocoon created by Muzan Kimuzan and began to read out his declaration of victory.
Picking the fruit that Muzan, whom he had coveted for a long time, and harvesting the vitality of this female ghost king, can't be so rude, you must have a sense of ritual. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of myself? I have been humble and flattered for the past few days.
At the same time, the elite of the Demon Killing Team, their combat power and the target of his [Bloody Duel] Fang Yi is already in this Infinite City where the opponent cannot escape.
Now is the time to reveal your trump card, show your strength to the enemy, and pick the fruits of victory. Isn’t it like being bored to go back home with wealth and wealth but choose to go to a night out of a brocade dress?
Word by word, Liao Lin said words to Muzaka Kimuzawa with almost uncontrollable smiles and excitement.
“You should understand the situation today through the cells placed on other ghosts.
“One of the winding strings, Black Deathmu, is already fighting several ‘pillars’ and an ordinary swordsman, and it is impossible for it to come here now.
"The sixth prostitute, Taro, has been coerced by me with my sister and sent out to kill the other party's command.
"The fourth of the winding strings, the girl of Ming was adjusting the position of the two 'pillars' under my command, delaying their time.
Liao Lin waved his sword and inspired a sword energy, cutting off most of the blood cocoon of Muzan Ki, and said what he had always wanted to say to the figure revealed in it.
"Just scream, there is no help on this platform that can help you get out of my 'clips'.
"Let your ghost subordinates and the swordsman of the ghost killing team listen to the seductive sounds made by you female ghost under my training.
"How about it, Miss Muzan Kibutsuji, you will feel the heat of human beings today."
Liao Lin fell silent when he saw the figure of Muzan Kibutsuji as a man revealed in the blood cocoon, and the angry words in the other man's voice.
His whole mind was like a bucket of cold water poured directly from the top of his head, and it fell into an irreversible disorder like a computer case that had crashed.
Muzan Kibutsuji's angry words floated into Liao Lin's ears, and his fiery heart instantly cooled down.
"How did you make Mingnu betray me without hesitation?
"You did so many things for me, just for this?
Liao Lin fell silent. He never thought that Muzan Kibutsuji was actually a ghost who could change gender instantly. And when he first saw it, it was dressed as a geisha-like woman, but it was not its original body.
This means that the poisonous insects he put into it, and the friendship he had been humbly brushing for a long time, seem to have no place to use.
Looking at the angry Muzan, Liao Lin slowly said a sentence.
"Change back!
"Change back! Change into a woman's appearance and physiological structure!"
The irrational words were followed by a space prompt sound from Liao Lin's ears.
"The character [Muzan]'s friendliness towards you has changed from [88/100] to [-99/100] (lowest value)."
Liao Lin looked at Muzan who had no move to change back into a woman and tried to resist. He swung a few swords again and cut him into a human pig with no limbs and was slowly recovering.
After staring at Muzan for a long time, he made up his mind and showed a ferocious smile.
He slowly took off his clothes and walked naked towards Muzan who was lying in the blood cocoon in the form of a man.
"No change, right? Then you just bear with it.
"I licked you for so long and used a precious poisonous insect, but I didn't even touch my body. How dare you turn into a man.
"To become stronger, I, Liao Lin, can do anything."
Obviously, the hero Liao Lin has invested too much energy and resources in Muzan Kibutsuji, and the sunk cost is too high, so he has to take risks and try to gain benefits from Muzan Kibutsuji.
——
As his body fell into the Infinite City, Fang Yi looked at the 'intelligent crow' flying in the air and began to explore the map of the Infinite City. After confirming that Mingnu could not monitor here.
Immediately run [Reversal Technique·Strengthening] to repair his hands, landed on a platform, and began to wait for the enemy information sent back by the 'intelligent crow'.
Everything is developing according to the No. 2 script he wrote. Rengoku Chijuro and Nakamori Yuto have obtained their own command ability and practical ability through [Diligent Learning and Progress] The weaker "pillars" are responsible for commanding ordinary swordsmen to clear out the demons with lower string strength, and commanding the "pillars" to provide support.
As for the "pillar" with very strong protection ability, Tomioka Giyuu, he was sent to protect Yushiro, the assistant of the demon doctor. This team is already heading to the location of the fourth upper string, Naruto.
Nakamori Yuto also commanded Kanroji Mitsuri, a backup combat force, to join this team to ensure that Naruto, a demon with the ability to teleport, is controlled as soon as possible.
As for the others, the "intelligent crow" has not sent back a message yet, and it is very likely that it has already been fighting with the first upper string, Kokushibo.
It is necessary to find the location of Muzan Kibutsuji as soon as possible and ensure that ordinary swordsmen stay away from it , to prevent the ghost king from getting vitality replenishment.
At the same time, Fang Yi believed that Liao Lin must be near Muzan Kibutsuji. If he moved quickly enough, he could kill both of them with one blow.
While thinking about the battle strategy, Fang Yi observed the enemy's movements through [Blood Demon Art·Eye Hidden], but saw an unexpected figure appear in front of him.
A swordsman with a very ugly face.
His two eyes are as far apart as the South Pole and the North Pole on the globe, and there is a clear height difference between his left and right eyes. The nose is large and collapsed, the lips are fat, the buck teeth are prominent, and the pointed chin is like a cone.
Such a representative and highly recognizable ugly appearance is obviously It was the legendary Liao Lin.
But Fang Yi vaguely felt that this angry swordsman seemed to be filled with a lingering smell of shit.
Before Fang Yi made any move, Liao Lin took out a blood-stained list and tore it open casually. The prompt sound of the space also sounded with the other party's move.
『Affected by the [Bloody Duel] launched by the relic [Dueler's List], your talent [Extraordinary Gravity] is temporarily locked as a bargaining chip and cannot be used. 』
『The other party's talent as a bargaining chip is [Favored by the Evil], and the trait [Genius], the duel survivor will have the opportunity to retain the other party's talent and traits as a bargaining chip. 』
Fang Yi smiled.
