Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

However, there was no other way. If he didn't deal with the opponent now, he would definitely consume more energy when he returned to the Fox Demon World. So he planned to finish the opponent off with one blow.

He raised his hand, and a beam of light condensed in his palm.

At that moment, Lin Yu's voice suddenly echoed in Tanjiro Kamado's mind:

"Tanjiro, watch out for this punch. If you ever want to come looking for me again, then remember this punch."

Tanjiro Kamado was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, because he knew that this meant Lin Yu had accepted him.

At this moment, the light in Lin Yu's hand rapidly became extremely deep.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Yu's attack was so powerful that it distorted the surrounding space.

While everyone else was terrified by the lingering power of that punch, only Tanjiro Kamado knew the truth.

This is merely a natural distortion caused by excessive force.

As Lin Yu once said, true strength is about not wasting even a single bit of one's power.

He knew that once he threw that punch, it would be a devastating blow.

While pondering, Lin Yu made a move.

His movement was simple: he pulled his arm back and threw a punch, just like the simplest movement Lin Yu taught Tanjiro Kamado.

It was a punch so simple it was almost unbelievable, but compared to the punch that Tanjiro Kamado threw earlier, it was earth-shattering.

A terrifying force was unleashed after Lin Yu threw his punch.

The fist-sized black dot shrank in an instant, then exploded with a bang.

Time seemed to stand still as everyone was enveloped in a blinding white light, and the world seemed to fall silent at that moment.

Chapter 294 Departure and Gifts

After a long while, everyone suddenly heard a booming sound that grew louder as it approached.

Before the roaring sound had subsided, the white light that filled the sky began to shrink, and only then could everyone see what was in front of them.

The roof of the entire Demon Slayer Corps headquarters building seemed to have been ravaged by something, completely swept away.

Above, the gathering dark clouds had completely disappeared, and the ever-churning lightning snakes seemed as if they had never appeared at all. The inverted waterfall that had once manifested had also vanished, revealing the moon behind it.

The moon cast its gentle light, but its journey was thwarted.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and held their breath.

Some even whispered involuntarily:

"What it is?"

The sky was like a painted screen, with a black mark tearing a large hole in it.

Lin Yu stood in front of the large hole, with Muzan Kibutsuji standing unharmed before him. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes were completely vacant.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, waved his hand, and his mental power instantly separated Muzan Kibutsuji's body from the derived flesh and blood.

Although Muzan Kibutsuji had undergone a transformation, his true form was still human.

While all living beings experience emotions, humans, as the most intelligent of all beings, naturally possess unique characteristics, such as the complexity of their emotions. This makes them arguably the perfect habitat for extraterrestrial demons.

Lin Yu didn't examine Kibutsuji Muzan's body carefully. After breaking his bones inch by inch with his mental power, he simply kneaded Kibutsuji Muzan into a ball of flesh, wrapped it with his mental power, and carried it with him, like carrying a large cocoon on his back.

At this moment, everyone finally came to their senses and saw Lin Yu turning Muzan Kibutsuji's body into something like a toy.

They were a little confused.

Did they defeat Muzan Kibutsuji?

that's it?

Although everything around them proved Lin Yu's strength, only a few minutes had passed from the moment Kibutsuji Muzan appeared to the moment he was killed. They had won the victory without even dying.

This gave them a strong sense of unreality.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was probably the first to lose this feeling, since he had already experienced Lin Yu's strength long ago, so he knew that as long as Lin Yu made a move, he would definitely be able to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji.

I just didn't expect it to be such a crushing defeat, and to create such a scene.

He couldn't help but have many guesses in his mind.

Could Lin Yu really be a deity?

Because Ubuyashiki Amane was a shrine maiden, he knew more about deities, but he couldn't find any deity that corresponded to Lin Yu.

Recalling what Tanjiro Kamado had said about the healing techniques of a mysterious ancient Western country, he pondered that Lin Yu might be from that place.

So he plans to erect a statue for Lin Yu sometime, and then properly worship him.

The Ubuyashiki family naturally intends to worship this being that lifted the curse that had plagued their family for centuries.

As he pondered this, a strange feeling descended upon those around him.

Almost instantly, everyone looked up at the sky.

Searching for the source of that strange feeling, they soon focused all their attention on the black hole.

The darkness inside the large cave was bottomless.

However, everyone could inexplicably feel malicious gazes watching them.

Mysterious, powerful, terrifying.

This is the feeling those gazes gave them.

For them, when facing eye contact, they feel like tiny ants.

At the same time, they could also feel something that didn't belong to them growing in their minds.

Just then, a voice rang out:

"wake up."

The voice was not loud and was very calm, but it carried an undeniable authority.

It was Lin Yu who spoke.

The sound jolted everyone around awake.

They were immediately filled with lingering fear and dared not look at the black hole again.

At this moment, Lin Yu stared coldly into the black hole, but a strange doubt lingered in his heart.

Although the gaze was strange, he could sense that it was from a great distance.

Why should such a being observe this world?

The spying continued, seemingly searching for something with unbridled aggression, but in an instant, it set its sights on the demons beneath the ground, who were gripped by panic due to Muzan Kibutsuji's death.

A strange fluctuation subtly emanated, and suddenly these evil spirits began to disappear inexplicably one by one.

Those who dared not look into the black hole naturally did not know why the evil spirits were dying one by one, but this was good news for them.

However, Lin Yu saw it very clearly.

Because he clearly saw that after the bodies of these evil spirits disappeared, something remained.

That's clearing away the seeds!

A sudden realization flashed through Lin Yu's mind.

He asked why the extraterrestrial demon that had been lurking in Muzan Kibutsuji's body was so strange.

The transformed transparent emotional energy, though pure, also indicates that the extraterrestrial demons actually have very simple minds.

He had initially thought that the extraterrestrial demon possessed some means to create the intelligence of Muzan Kibutsuji before returning, but now it seems that the extraterrestrial demon was probably just a creature that had been kept in captivity.

My arrival felt like I had picked someone else's peach.

However, how can you just give away something that's already been put into your mouth?

Lin Yu squinted his eyes, opened his hand, and reached out to grab at the black hole.

Suddenly, Lin Yu severed that subtle fluctuation.

At the same time, his spiritual power swept up the surrounding emotional power without hesitation, absorbing it all into his own body without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, as soon as the connection was broken, the spying aura immediately turned angry, and Lin Yu vaguely sensed some whispers coming from the air.

Lin Yu ignored him and swept his powerful mental energy across the area, instantly severing the connection between the other party and this world.

Furthermore, he used his mental energy to scan around the black hole, completely eliminating any traces that the other party might have left behind before stopping.

The story of how Muzan Kibutsuji encountered Lin Yu and how Lin Yu defeated that mysterious being, though seemingly long, actually only lasted a moment.

At this moment, Tanjiro Kamado finally returned.

He stood before Lin Yu, his face filled with sorrow, and cried out:

"master."

This address of "Master" surprised everyone who didn't know who Lin Yu was.

The person standing before me is actually Tanjiro Kamado's master?
