Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

"call……"

He exhaled slightly and swung his Nichirin Blade once more, the blade's gleam becoming even more conspicuous in the darkness.

As time passed, the demons in the horde gradually succumbed to despair.

And Su Mu

Yet they became even more spirited in battle.

It is unknown how long the battle lasted, but it is known that even Himejima Gyomei, whose physical body had been trained to the limit of human strength, stopped to rest. It is known that he had slain all the evil spirits in front of him.

Su Mu then stopped.

Although there were still many evil spirits in the distance, not a single one dared to approach. In fact, they preferred to let the curse originating from the 'adult's' blood erupt within them rather than go forward.

These evil spirits seemed to have far less fear of the 'adult' than of the Asura before them.

Under the gentle moonlight

The man stood there with a knife, and all the evil spirits in the room cowered in fear.

Mingming was trapped among a horde of ghosts

All around was silent.

For thousands of years, it seems that no one has ever done this before.

Even Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who was hailed as a god walking among men, would probably not be as good if he were reincarnated.

Chapter 282 Muzan Appears, Demon's Identity Exposed

The man stood there with a knife, and all the evil spirits in the room stopped in their tracks.

Despite being surrounded by ghosts, all around was silent.

Despite the surging horde of ghosts, not a single one faced the man's blade at this moment.

With just one person, the situation was completely reversed. The ghosts, who were clearly numerous and powerful, now seemed to be the survivors, blocked by a single person.

War is not

Refund is not an option.

…………

Hidden in the darkness, Muzan Kibutsuji watched the scene before him, his heart filled with rage. These immortals, who had become immortals through the blood he had bestowed upon them, possessed immense power, remarkable regenerative abilities, and inexhaustible stamina, all thanks to him.

It is through one's own efforts that one is able to break through human limits and become extraordinary.

But these ghosts under his command had absolutely no loyalty to him.

Muzan Kibutsuji, who can see into the hearts of demons, can feel his subordinates' desire for his flesh and blood every moment, and they wish they could devour him alive.

These……

He has been enduring it all these years.

All he needs to do is have his subordinates carry out his orders properly, help him find the Blue Spider Lily, and help him fight the Demon Slayer Corps.

But over the years, nothing has been accomplished.

Even now, they dare to disobey my orders.

Those who retreat will die.

A violent voice suddenly rose in the hearts of every evil spirit.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

As the sound rang out, the evil spirits began to self-destruct one after another; no spirit at the back had any chance of survival.

"Since retreat means certain death, then let's fight to the death."

A demon uttered a low murmur.

Immediately, evil spirits rushed out, roaring in fear.

He drew his sword, swung it, and the blade easily sliced ​​across the demon's neck, followed by the flying head and spurting blood.

These ordinary evil spirits were no match for Su Mu.

Even during the Twelve Ghost Months, it's the same.

No matter how many evil spirits there are, it means nothing to Su Mu. He is not human, but also a ghost. He is not afraid of losing strength, and his body will not suffer any fatal injuries.

No matter how many ghosts come, it doesn't matter.

Another evil spirit charged in.

Su Mu swung his blade and slashed out without hesitation.

But it was evaded.

Su Mu was slightly taken aback, but didn't pay much attention. He quickly added another strike, but it was still dodged.

At that moment, Su Mu felt a slight chill in his heart. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and focused on observing the ghost, but it suddenly disappeared from his sight.

"Sir, be careful."

"Sir, be careful."

Behind me, I heard gasps and sounds of fear.

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a pain in his chest as a hand reached out from behind and grabbed his beating heart.

Su Mu turned around, and the ghost appeared behind him at some point, having already pulled out his hand, which now held a beating heart.

This scene shocked everyone. No one expected that Su Mu, who was like a god of war just a moment ago, would have a ghost sneak up behind him and easily have his heart removed.

"Are you strong? I don't feel it, but why are you able to overcome the shortcomings of being a demon?"

The ghost spoke in a low voice, its eyes scanning Su Mu up and down as if it were observing a perfect work of art.

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he realized who the ghost in front of him was. Only that ghost had such powerful strength.

Facing Muzan Kibutsuji, he was not afraid or apprehensive. In fact, more than facing Muzan, Su Mu was worried about his identity being completely exposed.

After all, his heart was pierced.

For a person, this is already an inevitable end.

Even the strongest person, without a heart, is doomed to die.

No one would believe that Su Mu could survive without his heart.

"Mr. Su Mu...?"

Rengoku Kyojuro stared wide-eyed at those eyes that were forever burning with flames, but at that moment those flames seemed to be suddenly grasped by an invisible hand, almost extinguished.

His voice trembled for the first time.

The still-beating heart, bright red and glaring in the demon's hands, pierced Rengoku Kyojuro's heart like a needle.

How could someone like Su Mu meet such an end?

"Do not……"

Sanemi Shinazugawa's pupils suddenly contracted, and the scars on his face became even more grotesque due to the violent contortion of his facial muscles. His lips moved a few times, but he could only utter a single syllable.

The next second, an anger that almost devoured him exploded from his chest.

"You bastard—"

Sanemi Shinazugawa charged out with a roar, his Nichirin Blade drawing a violent arc in the air, aiming straight for the demon's neck.

The sword technique of Breath of the Wind carried an unprecedented killing intent at this moment, and even the air was torn apart with a sharp, mournful sound.

"boom!"

A dull, loud bang.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing through three walls before slamming heavily to the ground.

Smoke and dust rose, and gravel flew everywhere.

"Sanemi!"

Rengoku Kyojuro's pupils contracted sharply, and he abruptly turned his head to look in the direction of the demon.

The ghost slowly retracted its casually waving arm, as if it had merely brushed away a bothersome flying insect.

At this moment, the ghost's form had completely changed.

The original appearance of an ordinary evil spirit was gone, replaced by the figure of a man with snow-white hair.

But her long white hair had been stained dark red with blood, intertwined with thick hair, covering her limbs and lower body.

What's even more chilling is that its entire body, from its shoulders to its waist and abdomen, from its arms to its knees, is covered with countless enormous mouths, each filled with sharp, white teeth, constantly opening and closing, emitting a terrifying sound like bones grinding together.

A strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air; the stench was almost tangible, making it difficult to breathe.

"cough--"

Sanemi Shinazugawa struggled to his feet from the rubble, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He had at least three broken ribs, his left arm was bent at an odd angle, and the excruciating pain made his vision blur in waves. But he kept his eyes wide open, staring in that direction.

"What...what exactly is that..."

His voice was hoarse, filled with disbelief.

"Kibutsuji... Muzan."

The hand holding the chains in Beimingyu Xingming trembled slightly.

This strongest pillar, this blind 'Stone Pillar', who never wavered in the face of any situation or danger, is now unusually pale.

He had witnessed the horrific scene of the last siege of Muzan Kibutsuji and seen just how terrifying Muzan Kibutsuji truly was.

Despite his inner fear, Gyomei Himejima gripped the chains tightly. If he could sacrifice himself to bring about Muzan Kibutsuji's death, he would be more than willing.

But Gyomei Himejima knew that the more likely outcome was that even if he sacrificed himself, he would not be able to drag Muzan Kibutsuji into hell.

Will today's ending be the same as last time, where the 'Lord' used himself as bait to trigger a massive explosion, paying the price of countless swordsmen's deaths, yet still allowing Muzan Kibutsuji to leave unscathed?

So much was sacrificed, yet it had no effect whatsoever.
