Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Su Mu looked at Kibutsuji Muzan and sneered.

"A ghost is a ghost, that cannot be changed. It's just that you overcame the flaws of a ghost and became a perfect ghost."

Muzan Kibutsuji looked at Su Mu with longing in his eyes, something he had been pursuing for thousands of years: "But no matter what, you are a demon."

Su Mu remained silent, holding the Nichirin Blade, and stepped forward.

"For the sake of us being ghosts, tell me how you overcame the shortcomings of sunlight and became a perfect ghost."

As he drew closer, Muzan Kibutsuji knew that his final fate seemed unchangeable. At this moment, he wondered how he could achieve what he had been pursuing for thousands of years.

Is it because he ate the blue spider lily?

"Perhaps you will know once you get to hell."

Su Mu looked at Muzan Kibutsuji, swung his Nichirin Blade, and slashed at Muzan Kibutsuji's neck with the energy of the sun's 'Breathing of the Sun'.

Chapter 294 The Death of Muzan (2)

Muzan Kibutsuji raised his crimson eyes and watched as Su Mu's slash, imbued with solar energy, descended.

Muzan Kibutsuji tried to dodge, but having been drugged by Tamayo, his strength was no longer what it used to be, and compared to Su Mu at this moment, his movements were too slow.

The sharp blade sliced ​​open his neck, but there wasn't much pain. Just like when Yoriichi Tsugikuni slashed him, he only realized his head had been severed when his head was cut off.

"boom……"

Muzan Kibutsuji's head crashed to the ground, blood gushing from the gaping hole in the headless corpse's neck.

"His head was severed once again."

Muzan Kibutsuji, his head lying on the ground, looked at his headless body and murmured to himself.

The last time he was beheaded was hundreds of years ago when he encountered Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Now, his head has been severed once again.

However, this time it was a demon, a demon that he had once controlled.

but

At this moment, Muzan Kibutsuji is not dead.

Even after being poisoned by Tamayo's drug, which suppressed the demon's regeneration, healing, and recovery abilities, and now having his head severed, Muzan Kibutsuji is still not dead.

Even the headless body bent down, reached out to pick up the head, and then pressed it back onto the neck.

However, if he hadn't been poisoned by Tamayo's medicine, the flesh on his neck would probably have already begun to twitch and healed almost instantly.

At this moment, although the head is attached to the neck, the wound cannot heal, and the head even needs to be supported by the hand to prevent it from falling off.

Clearly, the loss of most of his healing abilities was not only due to the suppression of Tamayo's medicine, but also to the special effects of the 'Crimson Blade' that Su Mu used.

Su Mu watched this scene quietly without stopping it, but he felt a little sad, realizing that severing Kibutsuji Muzan's neck could not kill him.

Demons like Muzan Kibutsuji and Kokushibo, who have broken through their 'limits', no longer have fatal flaws, including having their heads severed by Nichirin Blades.

Aside from basking in the sunlight, such creatures are truly terrifying.

However, knowing that I also possess such formidable abilities, I felt reassured.

"You can't kill me, you can't kill me..."

Holding his severed head in his hand, Muzan Kibutsuji growled in a low voice at Su Mu in front of him.

Despite saying this, deep within those crimson eyes lay a profound fear.

After all, even though it has broken through the 'limit' of a demon, it is still only the closest to a perfect creature and cannot reach the level of a perfect creature like Su Mu who can bask in the sunlight.

And the sun is getting closer and closer to rising.

If he waits for the sun to rise, then only death awaits him.

But Muzan Kibutsuji did not want to die, even if it meant spending the rest of his life in darkness, even if it meant never being able to bask in the sunlight again.

He suddenly closed his eyes.

At that moment, almost every demon heard Muzan Kibutsuji's voice in their minds.

"Stop the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, stop Su Mu, or... die."

The bright red character for 'death' was etched into the minds of every ghost, like a death warrant.

The demons that had been pressing the swordsmen into retreat, barely clinging to life only thanks to the support of the pillars like Himejima Gyomei, Rengoku Kyojuro, and Shinazugawa Sanemi, all turned their heads away at this moment.

The next moment, the demons completely abandoned their attack on the swordsman and came to rescue Muzan Kibutsuji.

Countless evil spirits surged towards Su Mu. They might not be able to kill Su Mu, nor were they his match, but the sheer number of ghosts coming was bound to be useful.

Under the cover of these demons, Muzan Kibutsuji might have a chance to escape.

Once Muzan Kibutsuji escapes, it will be almost impossible to find his whereabouts again.

Without killing Muzan Kibutsuji, the source of evil cannot be cut off, and all the sacrifices made by the Demon Slayer Corps today will be meaningless.

…………

With the evil spirit gone, the surviving swordsmen of Yoshiwara Yukaku breathed a slight sigh of relief, but quickly understood why. At this moment, they realized that the time to eradicate the source of the evil spirit was now.

The goal that the Demon Slayer Corps has pursued for thousands of years is now at hand; all they need to do is wait until the sun rises.

All they need to do is stop these evil spirits.

But after being besieged by evil spirits for so long, every swordsman was not only injured, but also exhausted. At this moment, they were powerless to provide support.

If the demons were to truly cover Muzan Kibutsuji's escape...

Almost just thinking about it was unacceptable to all the swordsmen.

"kill!"

The swordsmen who were still alive in Yoshiwara Yukaku picked up their swords to stop the evil spirits, even though they had exhausted their strength. They were willing to stop even one evil spirit at a time.

But human strength is ultimately limited. No matter how strong one's will is, if one's legs can no longer move and one's hands can no longer grip the hilt of the knife, how can one stop the advance of the demons?

They could only watch as the demons abandoned them and headed towards Su Mu's direction to rescue Muzan Kibutsuji.

"Quack quack..."

A raven flapped its wings and flew in from afar, making a cawing sound.

"Support...support..."

The cawing of ravens echoed overhead.

"Ta Tata..."

At the edge of darkness came the sound of rapid footsteps, followed by a series of swordsmen rushing out from the darkness.

Muzan Kibutsuji naturally saw this scene as well, but he still had hope in his heart. Even though many swordsmen had come, demons from all over the world had also been summoned to come here.

The accumulated number of demons over the years is large enough to hold off these supporting swordsmen, and even...

However, just as this thought arose, the swordsmen who had come to provide support raised their guns.

Muzan Kibutsuji was naturally knowledgeable about firearms. In fact, his former subordinate, the Twelve Demon Moons, Peeru, had become one of the Twelve Demon Moons by relying on firearms.

But these guns are actually not very effective against evil spirits.

I don't understand why these demon slayers have suddenly started using firearms. After all, for thousands of years, the Demon Slayer Corps has almost exclusively used Nichirin Blades.

"Da da da da..."

While Muzan Kibutsuji was still wondering what was going on, the supporting swordsmen had already fired their guns.

Bullets rained down, and even ghosts with speeds far exceeding human limits could hardly dodge them. Moreover, many ghosts didn't care about these bullets, which were only the size of a thumb. After all, with the ghosts' powerful regenerative abilities, the damage caused by the bullets could be recovered almost instantly.

However, as the bullets rained down, the demons hit by them did not exhibit the powerful regenerative and recovery abilities of demons. Instead, they simply collapsed helplessly, falling to the ground like leeks being cut down. Like those demons whose necks were severed by Nichirin Blades, their bodies gradually disintegrated and slowly disappeared.

This scene left all the ghosts with expressions of disbelief.

Even Muzan Kibutsuji found it hard to believe at this moment. When did bullets become so lethal to demons?

Chapter 295 The Death of Muzan (The End)

Muzan Kibutsuji had witnessed the power of firearms against demons; the bullets fired from those guns had strong penetrating power, but their damage to demons was always limited.

But at this moment...

Why are these bullets so powerful?

"It's orangutan iron ore."

As a ghost crouched down to dodge bullets, it saw the wounds of its kind and the bullets that had pierced its body, each one possessing the energy of the sun that ghosts despise.

The only mineral that can generate solar energy is the Gorilla Scarlet Iron Ore. This mineral, which can absorb sunlight, was originally used as a raw material to forge Nichirin Blades.

Clearly, a certain amount of hematite was specifically added during the manufacture of these bullets.

"Not only that, these bullets also carried a nasty odor."

The ghost sniffed lightly, its eyes filled with deep disgust: "It smells like wisteria, so strong, so nauseating. Just smelling it makes me feel like my power is being suppressed..."

Clearly, these bullets were coated with wisteria sap.

However, ordinary wisteria sap could not have such an effect; it must contain a deeper toxin.

In fact, these bullets were coated with wisteria flower toxin, which Shinobu Kocho developed to kill demons.

Previously, due to extraction issues, this toxin could only be used by Shinobu Kocho alone.

Later, due to Su Mu's suggestion to Ubuyashiki Teruya, Ubuyashiki increased its support for Shinobu Kocho's research, purchased a lot of advanced equipment, and, with the cooperation of Tamayo and her help, finally increased the production of wisteria flower toxin. Now, this wisteria flower toxin, which can kill evil spirits, is sufficient for large-scale use.

"Da da da……"

The bullets rained down, carrying the energy of the sun, and with the added toxins from the wisteria flowers coated on them, these bullets, if they hit the demon, could cause damage almost equivalent to severing the demon's neck with a Nichirin Blade.

Under Muzan Kibutsuji's command, demons surged forth, but in their attempt to rescue Muzan, they were met with a barrage of gunfire.

Even if each one possesses strength beyond human limits, and each one has overwhelming power against humans, they once relied on all of this to wantonly destroy the happiness of others and flaunt their power.

But at this moment, they fell one after another. Even though many of the swordsmen who pulled the triggers were weak, they were still a deadly threat to the demons.

…………

Everything was observed by Muzan Kibutsuji, shattering the last hope of this first demon.
