Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

However, after personally taking action, he was eventually discovered by Muzan Kibutsuji.

When Su Mu killed Doma, he sensed the aura of Muzan Kibutsuji. However, Doma, who was bathed in sunlight, died quickly, and Muzan Kibutsuji didn't even have time to fully share his vision.

Now that he had learned from the previous lesson in slaying the twin demons, Muzan Kibutsuji almost immediately shared his vision, and thus truly faced Su Mu directly through this shared vision.

…………

"Kibutsuji. Muzan!"

Through Gyutaro's pupils, Su Mu seemed to see a man wearing a suit, a top hat, and crimson eyes.

As he called out the name of Muzan Kibutsuji, one could feel his crimson eyes narrowing in anger.

To prevent his whereabouts from being known by the Demon Slayer Corps, Muzan Kibutsuji placed a curse on the demons under his command. Any demon who utters his name will trigger the curse and die instantly from the disintegration of his flesh.

Su Mu uttered his name without hesitation, making Muzan Kibutsuji realize once again that this demon had completely escaped his control.

It wasn't just a simple matter of escaping his control; she even overcame the disadvantages of being a ghost and was able to bask in the sunlight.

The thought of seeing Doma's figure bathed in sunlight from Doma's perspective drove Muzan to the brink of madness with jealousy. It was something he had pursued for thousands of years without success, yet Doma had achieved it so easily.

"You received my blood and became an immortal demon, yet you broke free from my control, and now you want to fight me even more..."

Through Gyutaro's mouth came the suppressed rage of Muzan Kibutsuji: "I'll give you one chance. Continue to submit to me. Tell me how to bathe in sunlight, and I can forgive and forget..."

Su Mu simply listened quietly.

Originally, it was thought that Muzan Kibutsuji would say something original, but unfortunately, he didn't; all he did was blatant threats and intimidation.

Seeing Su Mu hanging his head and remaining silent, Muzan Kibutsuji thought that Su Mu was really intimidated. After all, all the demons knew his methods, so it was normal for them to be afraid.

Just as Muzan Kibutsuji was about to soften his tone and ask Su Mu to tell him the reason for being bathed in sunlight, whether it was because he had consumed the blue spider lily as he had imagined.

However, I haven't asked yet.

Su Mu drew his sword again, the sharp blade easily destroying the heads of the gradually dying Daki and Gyutaro, causing them to disappear completely from this world.

And lost its carrier

Kibutsuji Muzan's shared field of vision was also plunged into darkness.

Chapter 272 Voluntarily Becoming a Ghost

Having lost his vessel, and with darkness filling his shared field of vision, Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly opened his eyes. His pair of crimson eyes seemed to be dripping blood, and his entire being was filled with rage.

"Damn it, damn it, this is infuriating..."

Muzan Kibutsuji slammed his fist into the table in front of him, shattering it into pieces.

For thousands of years, which ghost has dared to disobey me?

What ghost would dare to be so disrespectful to me?

Even that bitch Tamayo, who had once escaped his control, could only hide like a rat to avoid being discovered.

How dare this wretched ghost do such a thing?

How awful!

I have never been so angry or so out of control.

"Damn it, we have to kill him right now."

Almost instinctively, I wanted to rush over and grab that wretched ghost. I not only wanted to teach it a lesson and make it know the price of angering me, but I also wanted to get out of it why it was able to bask in the sunlight.

He also wanted to bask in the sunlight!

Muzan Kibutsuji knows the location of Upper Moon Six Gyutaro, and he is not far from Yoshiwara Yukaku at the moment. If he goes there now, he may be able to stop Su Mu.

However, just as he stood up, Muzan Kibutsuji stopped again.

Muzan Kibutsuji's cautious nature worried him. Was this a conspiracy specifically targeting him? First Doma, then Gyutaro and Daki, they all seemed to be targeted, as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything.

Now that I'm going there, am I just falling into their trap, just like when I faced Kagaya Ubuyashiki?

A frail person, a person who could barely breathe, a person he could easily crush with his own hands, used an explosion to inflict a severe blow on himself.

Will it be the same this time?

Wouldn't that be more targeted?

As an immortal being, there's absolutely no need for me to go and take the risk, right?

But I can't let it go so easily; it's hard to accept.

That's bathed in sunlight! That's what I've been pursuing for thousands of years. No matter what, I can't let it go, and I can't let any ghost that defies me get away with it.

"We must capture him, no matter what."

Muzan Kibutsuji looked up, a longing flashing in his crimson eyes. He had to find out why the other was bathed in sunlight. If it was because the other had consumed the Blue Spider Lily, then the other must know the location of the Blue Spider Lily, and he would be able to find the Spider Lily he had been pursuing for thousands of years.

If not, or if you can't find it, then devour it, or slice it into pieces and study how it can overcome the shortcomings of sunlight.

"Kuroshibo!"

With his eyes closed, Muzan Kibutsuji connected with the man in the room through the source of his blood. The man was Upper Moon One, the strongest demon besides him.

Kokushibo's tall figure immediately stood up, his six eyes slightly lowered.

"Act now, seize him, seize him no matter what."

A cold voice came, and Su Mu's figure appeared in Kokushibo's vision, along with the location he was to go.

"As ordered."

Kokushibo picked up the sword called "Hollow Cry God," forged from his own blood and bones, and almost immediately set off for Yoshiwara.

…………

Yoshihara Yuguo

Su Mu completely erased Gyutaro and Daki from the world, severing the vision that Muzan Kibutsuji had cast through Gyutaro.

With the death of Gyutaro, an overwhelming sense of sorrow began to permeate the air.

At the same moment

Su Mu was also feeling the power surging through his body after killing Gyutaro and Daki.

Furthermore, he naturally also mastered the Blood Demon Art that Daki and Gyutaro possessed.

Silently experiencing these powers.

"Da da..."

The sound of hurried footsteps approached, and it was Shinazugawa Sanemi arriving, followed by Himejima Gyomei and Rengoku Kyojuro.

"It stinks. It smells like a dead ghost."

As soon as Shinazugawa Sanemi arrived, he covered his nose in disgust:

"Ghosts are disgusting things; they're disgusting when they're alive, and they're just as disgusting when they're dead."

Having just finished killing Gyutaro and Daki, Su Mu couldn't help but look up at Shinazugawa Sanemi. Although Shinazugawa Sanemi's actions were unintentional, Su Mu still felt offended.

"Mr. Su Mu, has the ghost been dealt with?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa gripped the hilt of his sword, glancing warily to his left and right, while asking, unaware that his habitually foul mouth had offended someone again: "Why don't I see that Upper Rank Demon?"

"It's resolved."

Su Mu looked up and replied.

Sanemi Shinazugawa was shocked. That was an Upper Moon demon. There hadn't been much time between hearing the commotion and their arrival.

"So fast?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa was somewhat surprised, even incredulous.

“In a life-or-death battle, if things go quickly, it can be decided in the blink of an eye.”

Su Mu replied casually.

Sanemi Shinazugawa knew all this, but his shock did not diminish in the slightest.

Upper Rank demons are almost impossible for the Pillars to handle. There's a saying in the Demon Slayer Corps that it takes at least three Pillars to work together to defeat an Upper Rank demon, and that's only against a low-ranking Upper Rank demon. If it were a high-ranking Upper Rank demon, even three Pillars might not be enough.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha".

Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra:

"I never imagined that Mr. Su Mu was so capable."

"Didn't Mr. Himejima also kill Upper Moon Four, Hantengu?"

Su Mu shook his head.

On his way to rescue the Swordsmith Village, Gyomei Himejima single-handedly killed the Upper Moon Four, Hantengu, which was far more impressive than when he killed the Upper Moon Six alone.

Beimingyu Xingming shook his head, wondering if it was just his imagination, but it seemed that Su Mu's strength had increased once again under the 'Mind's Eye'.

"Mr. Su Mu is too modest. In such a short time, Mr. Su Mu has grown to be so impressive. He is someone we should all learn from."

Kyojuro Rengoku clenched his fist, his eyes burning with intensity.

"Whoosh..."

The sound of hurried footsteps approached, and it was Kanroji Mitsu, Tanjiro, Himura Kenshin, Makomo and the others who had arrived.

"The sadness in the air is so intense."

As soon as Tanjiro arrived, he was touched by the heavy atmosphere of sorrow in the air and couldn't help but speak.

At this moment, everyone else couldn't help but look at Tanjiro.

"An aura of sadness?"

Shinazugawa Sanemi sniffed, then frowned: "There's only a foul, demonic stench; I can't sense any sadness."

"I can smell it."

Following the scent of sorrow, Tanjiro unknowingly arrived at the place where Gyutaro and Daki had vanished. In recent days, Tanjiro had slain many demons, and almost every time he killed one, he could feel the sorrow of those demons as they died.

It's not the sadness of life being ended.

Instead, it is at the end of life that one recalls the sadness of being a human being.
