Chapter 404 The Last Chance
As if hearing the swordsman's despairing voice, Muzan turned around with a smile on his lips.
"Of course it's because what you call retribution, what you call the gods, are on my side."
"Nonsense!" A fierce shout rang out as Shinazugawa Sanemi, covered in dust and with a ferocious expression, brandished his Nichirin Blade and slashed at Muzan.
Muzan stared at him expressionlessly, merely tilting his head to avoid the Nichirin Blade striking his forehead.
The Nichirin Blade slashed crookedly into Muzan's body, severing his heart.
"What a weak and pathetic power." Feeling his injuries healing rapidly, Muzan leisurely pulled out his Nichirin Blade.
"Ah!" Shinazugawa Sanemi's face contorted with rage as he gritted his teeth and exerted pressure, but his strength was far too weak in Muzan's eyes.
Muzan tossed Shinazugawa Sanemi away as if he were throwing away trash.
With a casual strike, he sent Shinazugawa Sanemi flying dozens of meters, crashing into a nearby building and kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Humans are such pathetic creatures," Muzan remarked casually, not even glancing at them, and looked down at his loosely clenched hand.
Her strength was still weak, and Tamayo's poison was still taking effect.
That's true, the toxin has nothing to do with the sun.
But having successfully overcome the sunlight, he is no longer without any weaknesses. Even if the monster from hundreds of years ago were to be resurrected, it would not be able to kill him.
A whooshing sound came from behind. Muzan turned his head slightly, and the tentacle whip on his back shot out.
"Cough..." Yuzui Tengen's eyes bulged out as a tentacle pierced through his chest, sending him flying with tremendous force.
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank you all." Muzan turned around, looking expressionlessly at the crowd of people who were filled with despair. The crimson sun was blocked behind him, as if shielding them from hope.
"If it weren't for you guys, I might not have been able to overcome the sun so easily."
He really didn't expect to overcome the sunlight so easily, because even after digesting the knife made of Yuko's flesh and blood, he still couldn't overcome the sunlight.
Later, he regretted not thinking to find out the reason why Yuko overcame the sun from the cells of her flesh and blood.
Looking back now, it wasn't that it was useless, it was just that the quantity was too small and it needed a certain opportunity.
Driven by his strong will to survive, an opportunity arose, his body underwent a transformation, and he successfully overcame the sunlight.
So he really has to thank these persistent humans.
"Demon Slayer Corps, your long-cherished wish can no longer be fulfilled." Muzan's tentacle whips slowly rose from his body. "In that case, how about I grant you death?"
"Stop joking..." Kyojuro, Giyu Tomioka, and the Pillars all stood up one by one.
"So what if we overcome the sun? As long as we can still fight, we will not give up..."
Before Kyojuro could finish speaking, Muzan had already covered several meters and appeared in front of him.
"So didn't I say that?" Muzan said expressionlessly, leaning close to Kyojuro's ear and pulling out his blood-stained hand. "You can all just die."
"Ugh~" Kyojuro spat out a mouthful of blood. Muzan had ripped a bloody hole in his abdomen, and he lost the strength to stand, collapsing to his knees in a sorry state.
Muzan licked the remaining flesh and blood: "As expected of a Pillar, the power within his flesh and blood is comparable to that of dozens... no, hundreds of ordinary people."
brush!
A wave of water crashed in, instantly engulfing Muzan.
Muzan calmly swung his hand, and his fleshy whips sent the fast-moving Giyu Tomioka flying.
She turned and kicked, striking Obanai Iguro in the stomach, sending her flying.
At the same time, from behind, on the left and right, two beautiful figures wielding Nichirin swords came stabbing at him.
Just as they were about to stab Muzan, two tentacle whips came from behind them, tightening around the necks of Kanroji Mitsuri and Kocho Shinobu, and throwing them hard to the ground.
"Cough~" He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his internal organs seemed to be churning.
"How weak, humans are so weak." Muzan glanced around; some were injured, some were crippled, and some were dead.
After a night of fighting, the group was already exhausted.
If it weren't for her willpower supporting her body, she probably would have fainted long ago.
Muzan's body, however, was gradually recovering.
Licking the bits of meat still clinging to his fingers, Muzan's stomach rumbled.
The intense battle that night, coupled with Tamayo's poison attack, had taken a toll on his physical strength, leaving him extremely hungry.
This is the first time I've ever been this hungry.
However, with so much food on site, we won't go hungry before leaving.
Muzan has not forgotten the Ubuyashiki clan, who have been lurking under his nose for hundreds of years; it's time to settle accounts with them.
"Ubuyashiki, you're watching, aren't you?" Muzan looked up at the sky. Although he couldn't see the circling ravens in the sky because of Yushiro's Blood Demon Art, he could vaguely sense them.
"I will come after I kill your loyal subordinates."
Muzan is brimming with confidence.
This is not arrogance.
At the Demon Slayer Corps' base, Kagaya Ubuyashiki clenched his fists with a somber expression. Beside him, Amane Ubuyashiki placed her hand on his body, as if to comfort him.
Where exactly did things go wrong? How was Muzan able to overcome sunlight?
Judging from Muzan's previous performance, he definitely had no ability to overcome sunlight, but now the facts are right in front of him.
Is it really that God is blind?
They instilled despair just when they were about to succeed.
"It's not over yet!" Tamayo's voice suddenly came from the side.
She placed the medicine box next to her on the table, opened it, and took out three doses of medicine.
"This is?"
"The human-transforming drug!" A solemn expression appeared on Tamayo's face. "If we can find a way to continue weakening Muzan's physical strength, and then use the human-transforming drug on him so that he has no physical strength to decompose, we may be able to kill Muzan in this state."
She originally intended to use this on herself, Yushiro, and Yuko.
She was persuaded by Yuko to continue living in the world.
I want to live my life again as a human, and then return to hell to repent for my past.
Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki dared not delay in the slightest. Just as he was about to find someone to take the medicine to the battlefield, Tamayo herself brought a cat.
"This is?"
Tamayo placed the medicine into the backpack behind her cat, Chachamaru, and waited until it received the command and ran out before explaining to Kagaya Ubuyashiki:
"The tea pill will bring the medicine to the scene."
Fortunately, she didn't turn Chachamaru into a demon, because she thought it would be too cruel to do that to Chachamaru if she were to turn back into a human.
