Demon Slayer: Add friends to become stronger! Zenitsu is my best friend

On the other side, Kokushibo, who was temporarily forced back by the sun, stood in the shade with a calm look in his eyes.

He was now located on the hillside of the mountain range on the edge of Kawamoto City, just in time to see the place where he and Luochuan fought at night.

Looking at the ghost hunters starting to repair the house, Kokushibo's emotions were very complicated.

He could obviously get rid of Luochuan, but at the last minute he let Luochuan awaken his markings and changed the situation.

Is this the same mistake as Akaza?

He heard from Lord Muzan that when Akaza first met Luochuan, he was also capable of getting rid of Luochuan, but it was because he gave Luochuan the opportunity that the situation changed, resulting in the failure of the mission.

Now this situation has happened to Kokushibo himself, and with Kokushibo's pride, he is a little bit unacceptable

"Next time, next time I will definitely chop off your head with my own hands."

After taking a last look at the place where he fought with Luochuan, Kokushibo turned around and prepared to leave.

Although Lord Muzan may have known about Luochuan's affairs through his vision, he still planned to report to Muzan in person.

Reporting is his duty as a subordinate.

Just when Kokushibo made a move

""Return, Infinite Castle."

These four short words exploded in Kokushibo's mind like thunder, causing Kokushibo to freeze in place.

Lord Muzan's voice?

Infinite Castle? Did another Upper Rank die? Was it Gyokutsu? Or Hantengu? Or Douma?

It's unlikely that Douma would be the one. Although Kokushibo doesn't like Douma very much, he still recognizes his strength.

Except for Luochuan, whom he just met, no one else in the Demon Slayer Corps should have the strength to kill Douma.

That would be Hantengu and Gyokutsu. Kokushibo shook his head. Judging from Lord Muzan's tone just now, Lord Muzan is in a very bad mood now.

Kokushibo's body, which was about to move, also stopped in place.

Since Lord Muzan has spoken, all he needs to do now is wait for Mingnu to determine his location and transmit himself to Infinite Castle. He doesn't need to waste his energy.

About a few seconds later

"Zheng——"

The view in front of Kokushibo changed, and dense buildings in various directions appeared in front of him.

Pale yellow lights dotted the empty Infinite City.

Kokushibo glanced around, then retracted his gaze and stood quietly on the high platform.

Before Lord Muzan came, Mingnu usually sent the upper-rank demons to the Infinite City in the numerical order of the upper-rank demons.

"Zheng——"

Naruto plucked the pipa in her hand again, and a figure appeared on a platform not far from Kokushibo.

The platform was slightly lower than Kokushibo's position.

The figure that appeared was Akaza, who looked a little puzzled.

Akaza looked around, frowning. He came to the Infinite City again?

How long has it been? Another Upper String Demon died? Was it Tamaki and the others? Did the mission fail?

Three Upper String Demons went to the Swordsmith Village to perform a mission and still failed? What on earth is in the Swordsmith Village?

No, why are there only himself and the Upper String One left?

Where are Douma and Tamaki and the others? Dead? All three Upper Strings are dead?!

Kokushibo also realized this problem at this time. When he saw that the second person teleported in by Naruto was Akaza, he felt something was wrong.

Where is Douma? Dead? The Upper String Two died? Who did it? When did the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps become so powerful?

First, he killed Upper Six Gitarou, and now he killed Upper Two Douma?

The difference between these two demons is not a little bit.

Douma is fully capable of playing with Gitarou.

Even so, Douma was still killed? Kokushibo was somewhat confused.

After the second sound of the pipa, Naruto did not move any more, holding the pipa motionless.

Kokushibo and Akaza were stunned. What does it mean? Why don't you continue to summon other upper-rank demons? ?

The atmosphere seemed to solidify at this moment, as if a heavy stone was pressing on the hearts of Kokushibo and Akaza, making them hold their breath involuntarily.

After a moment of silence, a terrifying guess emerged in the minds of Kokushibo and Akaza.

It's not that Naruto didn't summon, but that the other upper-rank demons are dead, right?

This thought made Akaza and Kokushibo's bodies tremble at the same time.

They are all dead?! No way?

The death of one upper-rank demon was still within their understanding, but three upper-rank demons died?! What happened in the Swordsmith Village?

Could it be that the Demon Slayer Corps mobilized all the pillars to the Swordsmith Village? Did they know their plan in advance?

This shouldn't be the case. Even if the Swordsmith Village gathered most of the power of the Demon Slayer Corps, Hantengu and Gamatsubo couldn't escape, but Douma could always escape, right?

Akaza recalled the scene when he and Douma exchanged positions and fought a bloody battle.

Even if Douma couldn't beat that tricky blood demon technique, he could still run away, right? Why did he die in the Swordsmith Village as well?

"What about the other upper rank? Why are there only me and the upper rank one?"

Akaza didn't quite believe his guess and asked Naruto for confirmation.

"The other upper-rank demons are all dead."

The woman with only her nose and mouth covered by her hair spoke calmly, as if the death of the three upper-rank demons was nothing unusual to her.

"Dead?!"

After receiving the confirmation from Naruto herself, Akaza's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole.

Dead? Really dead? All three upper rank ones were buried in the swordsmith village?

"You seem surprised, Akaza." Muzan, in female form wearing a loose kimono, appeared on the highest platform in the Infinite Castle, looking down at Akaza with eyes full of cruelty and murderous intent.

The three upper-rank demons all died in the Swordsmith Village. Even though Muzan didn't have much hope for the upper-rank demons, he still couldn't accept this result.

After swallowing so much of his blood, he couldn't even deal with a Swordsmith Village.

Not only did he fail to destroy it, but the three upper-rank demons also died in the Swordsmith Village!

Akaza looked at Muzan in confusion. Although he was surprised that three upper-rank demons died in the Swordsmith Village, it didn't seem to have anything to do with him, right?

This was not caused by him.

Seeing Akaza's expression, Muzan continued:"Do you know who did it?

Akaza frowned. He didn't participate in the mission of the Swordsmith Village. Why would he know?

The only time he failed was the mission with Luochuan and Kyojuro. Apart from that, he never failed again. Wait, Luochuan

? Could it be that Lord Muzan was talking about Luochuan?

Luochuan killed Douma and the others? No way? It's been such a short time since we last met, how could Luochuan's strength increase to such an extent?

He is not Douma's opponent, how could Luochuan be?

"It’s him, it’s Luochuan whom you are still underestimating. Three, three upper strings died in his hands!"

Muzan’s face was hideous, with veins bulging on his face, like an angry beast.
