Chapter 156 I never rely on luck to kill my enemies (6k)

Douma, who had been boasting that "Muzan Kibutsuji will definitely kill everyone", no longer had a chance to speak. His head was kicked away by Fang Yi and rolled twice on the ground. Like a wild dog baring its teeth and roaring at people, he became silent after being kicked twice.

Under the influence of force, when the head of Douma, the Second Upper Moon, came into contact with the first ray of sunlight after sunrise, it began to melt like flesh that began to corrode after coming into contact with strong acid.

Therefore, the Second Upper Moon suddenly felt the pain of tearing human skin alive, but this time the position was completely reversed. It had tortured humans in this way in the past, and today it had the opportunity to experience it once.

And the special skill it used that was enough to reverse the situation of the battle [Blood Demon Art·Mist Ice·Water Lily Bodhisattva], also lost its original shape as its body gradually disappeared, like half a piece of ice cream that accidentally fell to the ground on a hot summer day, collapsed with a loud bang, and turned into a pool of clear water.

Feeling such pain, looking at Fang Yi in front of him bathing in the sun, his face was a little hideous, with the same ghost aura as himself, but he was unwavering and fearless.

The relief and liberation that the Upper Two had felt before suddenly disappeared, replaced by endless resentment and a trace of regret rising from the bottom of his heart.

Douma opened his eyes wide and stared at the enemy in front of him, as if he wanted to remember the swordsman who killed him firmly in his heart.

The last thought in its mind was.

"Why are you so calm? You tried your best to kill me!

"You actually said to kill Muzan-sama Kibutsuji! How ignorant!
"Why are you all ghosts, but you can live in the sun, while I have to endure this kind of torture in the sun?
Remembering what Fang Yi had said before about sending him to hell, the ghost felt a bit of disdain in his heart again.

Douma doesn't think he will go to hell, nor does he think there is anything wrong with the evil deeds he has committed.

"The so-called heaven and hell are just words to comfort people.

"Isn't it common for evil people to be at large and for people who have done good deeds all their lives to have a bad end?
"Why should I go to hell just because I ate someone I can barely remember? That's such a naive idea."

Douma's head gradually melted, and the words he wanted to use to mock the enemy could no longer come out of his mouth. His thoughts began to stagnate, leaving only the last question.

“If I don’t come here tonight, you can kill me?

"Aren't all your victories tonight just luck?

"Luck won't always be on your side. You will definitely be torn into pieces by many people, and your heart will be cut into countless pieces."

Everything went dark before his eyes, and all the perceptions in this world had nothing to do with Douma anymore.

After a while, Douma opened his eyes and regained consciousness, sensing a whole new world.

The hell that the other party talked about has really arrived.
-
Fang Yi looked at Douma's head gradually melting in front of him, and the sunlight gradually spreading to the earth, and picked up the purple treasure chest that the other party had exploded.

This treasure chest has a purple-red feel to it, and Fang Yi feels that it should bring more benefits than Akaza's treasure chest.

This Upper Rank Two, Fang Yi, was already planning how to kill his opponent the moment he entered the scene.

In Fang Yi's opinion, the pressure that Douma brings to him is far less than that of Akaza, mainly because Douma does not have the ability to "break through the limit" like the Upper Three and Upper One.

It's that tricky ability of not only not being able to die after being beheaded but also continuing to regenerate. Based on my current understanding of the relevant skills, this kind of [Breaking the Limit] ghost can either be killed by multiple hits with the [Red Blade] in a short period of time, or by sunlight.

As for the second Upper Moon, Douma, it is a bit embarrassing. As long as the Nichirin Sword cuts off his head, he will die.

Although this Upper Moon Two is a rare rank 1 mage-type monster, it also has a disgusting skill combination of a super long health bar, high-speed regeneration, and ice magic control flow, as well as a skill with great lethality such as [Blood Demon Art·Mist Ice·Water Lily Bodhisattva], which perfectly restrains most warriors and swordsmen without magic resistance.

But Fang Yi is different. The ice crystals that the opponent casually throws out are enough to freeze ordinary people, but Fang Yi can use [Reversal Spell·Strengthening] to withstand it. He also has [Black Flash], a skill that can definitely deal with the Big Buddha.

As long as he gets the breathing technique and masters the use of the Nichirin Sword, and is not afraid of exposing these two extraordinary skills to Muzan Kibutsuji, he can definitely try to kill the opponent with a small advantage.

He even had the "resurrection" ability brought by the moldy "Five Emperors' Coins" as a last resort.

This guy is not like Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, who has [Transparent World], nor like Upper Rank Three, Akaza, who has [Destruction Killing, Razor Needle], so it is still very easy for him to hit the opponent with his attacks.

Fang Yi even felt that with his current strength, Douma could be described as a somewhat insulting term like "a pure stray dog ​​on the roadside."

However, Fang Yi's plan to kill Douma actually underwent several iterations and optimizations after he obtained more small skills and consumables, more help and higher goals.
-
After coming across the side quest of Ghost Doctor Tamayo and obtaining [Blood Demon Art·Eye Hidden] (temporary) and several kinds of poisons, Fang Yi began to think about how to maximize the benefits of killing Douma.

The acquisition of [Bloody Alchemy], the trait [Demon Slayer] (temporary), [Blood Demon Art·Whisper of Forced Sleep and Hypnosis], and [Stinger No. 1] made Fang Yi decide to use the battle with Tong Ma as a performance to show his "trump card".

When Fang Yi took over the position of leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, he spread out the "intelligent crows" of the Demon Slayer Corps to dispel the fog of war on the strategic map and monitor the clone of Upper Four, Naruto, laying a good foundation for writing his own script.

At the same time, with the unique prophetic information in his mind, he knew the identity of the other party as the founder of the Eternal Paradise Sect, which turned the encounter into a premeditated ambush in which he could choose the battlefield and time.

When Fang Yi accidentally learned that Douma, the Second Upper Moon, would come to the branch base of the Eternal Paradise Cult near the hiding place of Rengoku Kyojuro, he used the forced sleep function of [Blood Demon Jutsu: Whisper of Forced Sleep and Hypnosis] to sneak into the branch base without any harm and set a trap.

Not only the luxurious futon that Douma sat on, but Fang Yi also placed several [Stinger No. 1] alchemical bombs in other places. No matter where this Upper Moon Two stayed, he could detonate the bombs and weaken the opponent for a short time.

As for the trap set at the place where Rengoku Kyojuro was hiding, Fang Yi simply used the explosives that Ubuyashiki Yoya had used before and carried out an ineffective ambush to make this Upper Two relax his vigilance.

To this end, he prepared several plans to deal with Douma's different action strategies, and also conducted simulated combat training for his teammates based on the gaps between the opponent's attacks in that courtyard.

He was stuck before sunrise, and just "luckily and barely" killed the opponent, perfectly demonstrating his ability as a "demon that is not afraid of sunlight", and used himself as bait to lure Muzan Kibutsuji into taking action.

Boss Xia is a complete coward, and Liao Lin is someone who can return at any time. Fang Yi wants to make his enemies feel that he is a piece of delicious and soft cake, rather than a difficult enemy, so that the other party will take the initiative to "deliver to the door".

At the same time, the Ghost King cannot come to the house during the day, and Liao Lin cannot release the clone ghost of Upper Four, Naruto, to continue to monitor him. He at least has one day to make the next move.

He only used a combination of small skills and the temporary help he got in this mission. Even the outdated trump cards like [Black Flash], [Reversal Spell·Strengthening], [Five Emperors' Coins], and [Heart Right] were useless.

He also retained some new trump cards such as [Breathing of the Sun: Strengthened], [Red Blade], and [Demon Slayer], and he was completely sure of winning.

As Douma's body disappeared in the sunlight, a reminder sounded in his ears.

[Collect the enemy's vitality and gain some free lifespan. The current free lifespan is 190 years.]

Kill the Second Upper Moon, Douma. Based on your contribution to this battle, you will receive 10000 points and 5 C-rank plot points.

Fang Yicai confirmed that this Upper Two was probably indeed dead.

He then put down his knife, walked up to Rengoku Kyojuro who was standing there in a daze, and patted the Flame Pillar on the shoulder, interrupting him from repeating, "The Second Upper Moon is dead already?"

"Mr. Rengoku, remember to go to the Demon Slayer Corps and exchange it for a brand new Nichirin Sword so that you can practice your [Heka Sword], which you are not very proficient with yet.

“The final battle is not far away. If you are interested in participating, remember not to miss the afternoon meeting.

"By the way, I'll give you half a day off in the name of the temporary leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Don't forget to go home and visit."

After saying this, under the other party's grateful gaze, he signaled Rengoku Chijuro to take the Flame Pillar to identify the location of the backup base, and then he took Kanroji Mitsuri and parted ways with the Rengoku brothers.

Fang Yi's brain had been working at a high frequency all night, and after distributing the talismans created by [Blood Demon Art: Eye Hidden] to several crows, he felt an unprecedented sense of fatigue.

It seems that in addition to paying the obvious price for using skills, there are some limitations that he has not discovered. Perhaps he will have to wait until he reaches a higher level world to unlock them.

Fang Yi prepared to return to the base to rest for a while, unpack the box, organize the items and materials on him, and further iterate several plans to kill one of the Upper Moons, Kokushibo, Muzan Kibutsuji, and Liao Lin.

Only by preparing early, making more plans, making full use of your unique intelligence advantages, and applying all the help you can you achieve the final victory in the most stable and highest winning rate way and reverse the current unfavorable situation.

He had a premonition that the Ghost King and the ugly swordsman would come to his door tonight, and the other party might not wait until tomorrow.

Asakusa, a familiar ramen shop.

When Fang Yi and Ganlu Temple were leisurely rushing back to this familiar place, judging from the position of the sun that was looming in the sky, it was almost noon.

So, following the swordswoman's suggestion, the two returned to the familiar ramen shop and engaged in an activity called eating to replenish their energy.

But this time, the two of them were not seated at a distance from each other like last time. The female swordsman naturally moved her chair and brought the ramen bowl closer, maintaining a distance that made Fang Yi feel a little hot.

Because the female swordsman frequently bumped into people with the ball and rubbed them with her white cloth, Fang Yi's efficiency in eating noodles decreased.

Although the female swordsman seemed unconcerned, Fang Yi was still ready to finish the meal quickly and go back to unpack the box.

He now needs to control the friendliness of this female swordsman and behave a little bit 'slowly', otherwise his 'water-balancing' gameplay will not work and he will immediately shoot himself in the foot when he gets to Shinobu Kocho.

However, when the female swordsman saw that Fang Yi did not resist or refuse, she became bolder and her breast movements became more presumptuous.

When Mitsuri Kanroji noticed that Fang Yi's bowl of ramen did not have a corresponding half-boiled egg, she directly took out the half-boiled egg from her own bowl of ramen, which she had not yet touched, and naturally placed it on Fang Yi's noodles.

He took the whole unpeeled half-boiled egg brought by the waiter as compensation in a normal manner, stopped chewing, and began to peel the egg carefully.

At the same time he added in a very normal manner.

"Eat the egg on my face first, you look like you have something to do later.

"This will save you a little time and waste a little of my time.

"I haven't touched this noodle yet. It's very clean. No need to worry."

Seeing that Mitsuri Kanroji was concentrating on peeling the egg and speaking very simple and plain words, Fang Yi couldn't help but slow down his eating speed and responded.

"There's no need to rush these few minutes. The Pillars and swordsmen won't gather until the afternoon, so we still have some free time.

"I need a little 'rest' time, too." "Another bowl of ramen, please."

Hearing the 'correct answer' given by Fang Yi, the female swordsman smiled and narrowed her eyes, obviously very happy.

Fang Yi heard the female swordsman's friendliness level continue to increase and shook his head.

"You're so easy to fool. I only have a little conscience and I'm not the type to kill people without hesitation. Otherwise, you would have suffered a great loss."

Asakusa, Purgatory House.

Rengoku Makijuro sat in the courtyard as usual, staring blankly at the sky, but without drinking.

Ever since the youngest son left home, the entire Purgatory family seemed to have lost its vitality and the whole house became empty.

Looking at the half-built wall and several houses that had become dilapidated due to the battle with the Upper-rank demons, Rengoku Makijuro couldn't help but sigh.

Although that close call with the Grim Reaper brought him the glory of killing an Upper Moon, it also destroyed some of his remaining thoughts about his eldest son - as luck would have it, the Upper Moon's incarnation destroyed his eldest son's room.

Now, it has become difficult for me to even occasionally look into my eldest son's room and seek some comfort in the memories of the past.

Whenever he thought of this, the former Flame Pillar would collapse, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.

Just as he was thinking that since his youngest son was not around, he could drink as much as he wanted without getting drunk and passing out on the street, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, along with his youngest son's very rude voice.

Because the wall was newly built and the gate was newly replaced, now anyone except Rengoku Makijuro has to knock on the door.

The former Flame Pillar angrily opened the door, ready to educate his youngest son with his fatherly authority.

Then, he saw someone he wasn't expecting.

A familiar face, a tall and straight figure, his signature hair, and a voice full of energy and vitality. It was none other than his 'missing' eldest son.

Rengoku Kyojuro said to his father with an apologetic look on his face.

"Father, although many things happened during this period that cannot be explained in a short time.

“I made a lot of mistakes and put myself in danger.

“However, fortunately, with the help of Lord Fang Yi, I finally came back.

"I heard my room seemed to be destroyed. Is that true?"

Rengoku Makijuro first glanced at the shadow at his eldest son's feet, confirming that the 'Rengoku Kyojuro' in front of him was a living person, and then he lectured him with a stern face.

"I've said it before, being a 'pillar' in the Demon Slayer Corps is not an easy job.

"But it's good to be back, it's good to be back."

As he repeated these words, Rengoku Makijuro suddenly felt his eyes moisten. He turned his head, pretending to look back at the house, and took the opportunity to secretly wipe away his tears, speaking in a choked voice.

"You must express the Purgatory Family's gratitude to Lord Fang Yi, understand?
“I already knew he was an incredible man and a man who would deliver on his promises.

"What are you doing standing outside the door? Come in. Although there is no room for you in the house now, there is still room for others to live."

Looking at their father's back as he walked faster and faster, the two brothers smiled at each other and followed their father's footsteps.

In the infinite city.

Muzan Kibutsuji was still dressed like a geisha, and even his upper body was somewhat exposed, revealing some of his snow-white skin, making it almost impossible for Liao Lin, who was standing beside him, to take his eyes off him.

Seeing his subordinate, whom he considered to be "extremely loyal", acting like this, Muzan Kibutsuji, who was in a very good mood, showed a long-lost uninhibited smile on his face.

She even straightened her chest to expose a larger area of ​​snow-white skin, and caught the swordsman's eyes.

After completing the above steps, the Ghost King strangely felt a strange pleasure, which made it almost impossible to suppress the impulse of his body.

As a result, the tone of the Demon King became a little strange, and he began to discuss countermeasures with Kokushibo, one of the Upper Moons who had recovered on the side.

"A demon that's not afraid of sunlight has appeared, and he's a swordsman who isn't very strong.

"I want to capture this swordsman myself, what do you think?
One of the Upper Moons, Kokushibo, knelt on the ground, twisted his stiff head, and gave his opinion.

"In my opinion, we must first confirm the authenticity of this matter.

"We should consider whether this is a trap set by the cunning Demon Slayer Corps.

“At the same time, we don’t know the location of the enemy’s stronghold, so I’m afraid it will be very difficult for you to win it in one battle.

"In my opinion, it would be better to take a short break and send out several Lower-Rank Demons from the Infinite City to conduct reconnaissance and determine the enemy's position before deciding on the next strategy."

A very cautious and rational plan came out of Kokushibo's mouth, but it was not what Muzan Kibutsuji wanted.

Liao Lin on the side laughed secretly. These guys were really bad at flattering and guessing the leaders' thoughts.

Kokushibo is very powerful and loyal, but he is not as good at flattering and catering to his superiors as I am. This kind of demon should be sent to fight the Demon Slayer Corps to the death.

When Muzan Kibutsuji just asked for advice, he was not really asking for advice, but hoping to get support.

Liao Lin had already seen through this ghost king, his future "velvet ball" and cauldron.

"This Ghost King's lifelong goal is probably to walk under the sun. Wouldn't it ruin his good mood if you told him to be cautious now?

"It hopes to find the reincarnator who has inherited the bloodline of the "Ghost Not Afraid of Sunlight" tonight and devour him.

"And I happen to be able to provide this information, which also allows me to further improve the other party's favorability.

"Speed ​​up the activation of the Gu worms to create the prerequisites for the Ghost King to use the [Unkindness Sutra] to transform it into a cauldron after being severely injured."

After Liao Lin analyzed the Ghost King, he immediately signaled Mingnu beside him to speak with his eyes.

The newly appointed Upper Four, Naruto, spoke slowly after receiving instructions from Liao Lin.

"Respected Master Muzan Kibutsuji, my abilities evolved last night.

"Now I can release several clones to monitor the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. I have collected a lot of information about the Demon Slayer swordsmen in Asakusa.

"The 'Daylight-Understanding Demon' you described seems to be the current leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, but he doesn't have the nasty rat-like ability to sense danger that the Ubuyashiki clan has.

"I have collected the movement tracks of several Demon Slayer Corps members. Perhaps we can analyze the whereabouts of this leader from them."

After saying that, the Upper Four, Naruto, took out a map and began to mark the activity routes of these Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.

Liao Lin, who was standing by, spoke up at the right time and took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Master Muzan, look at the trajectory of these swordsmen; they have already exposed their headquarters.

"We use the trajectory of these people as the center of the circle and look for locations where they frequently overlap. This must be the enemy's headquarters."

[These are all lies to deceive ghosts, to fool these stupid ghosts. In fact, I deliberately spared the life of that Xiazhu that day.]

[I used Naruto's clone to find the approximate location of the enemy base. Now I'm just using this method to brush up on Muzan Kibutsuji's friendship! ]

After saying that, after some operations, Liao Lin pointed to the map and gave the answer that he already knew.

"This is the enemy's headquarters, and you can capture them tonight!

"As for the other swordsmen, bring them directly to Infinite City and let my subordinates quickly deal with them.

"Tonight is the end of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Lin heard a prompt sound in his ears: [Muzan Kibutsuji's friendship level towards you has become [88/100]]. Obviously, Liao Lin gave the answer that the Ghost King wanted.

Muzan Kibutsuji's expression became even happier. It was obvious that Liao Lin had solved the problem he raised, which made the Ghost King very happy.

Therefore, the ghost king was reserved for a while, and also displayed the spirit of "democracy" (dictatorship), pretending to ask the other ghosts.

"I think this is a good idea? Who else has a different opinion?

"Speak out boldly, and we'll discuss it."

Daki and Mingnu on the side did not say anything, and Kokushibo also stopped talking.

As for Douma, this ghost who has been tortured in hell obviously has no opinion now.

Muzan Kibutsuji nodded with satisfaction, shook his snow-white hair, and once again enjoyed the strange pleasure of being stared at by Liao Lin, then signaled the ghosts to leave.

Silence returned to Infinite City.
