People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Just as Yosuke was about to make another move, the crow of Keigo Ubuyashiki, the new supreme commander of the Demon Slayer Corps who was directing from a distance, appeared in the air.

"Attention! Attention! A large number of humans have appeared near Mount Suzuki; they have been controlled by demons!"

Yosuke's face darkened. Kibuyaku Muzan had once again lowered its standards, actually using humans as shields. If the Demon Slayer Corps members outside couldn't stop the manipulated humans from entering, things would get complicated.

P.S.: This is the fifth chapter today. I was so busy thinking about the content that my head was about to explode. I had to do a lot of research before I finally managed to write it.

However, what I wrote wasn't funny~ I don't know if you readers like this kind of slightly heavy plot~

If you prefer a lighter touch, I'll write something a bit more relaxed later on; if you still prefer this style, I'll stick to the original.

I have a small request (let me kneel down first).

If I could click the "request update" button and give the book a five-star rating on the cover, that would be great!

hee hee~

Chapter 22 The Sudden Situation

Yoriichi Tsugikuni did not change his mind because of Kokushibo's appearance; his primary target remained Kibuy Muzan.

Meanwhile, Muzan Kibutsuji was hiding behind three demons. The wound on his shoulder inflicted by Yoriichi Tsugikuni had not fully healed, which made him both shocked and furious.

Kibu Muzan glared at Yoriichi Tsugikuni with murderous intent: "So that's how it is. You dare to face me directly because of this human? In that case, let me give you true despair! Amanojaku!"

A demon with long, dark brown hair, a third eye on its forehead, and dressed in the attire of an Onmyoji, clasped its hands together.

"Blood Demon Art? Eye Shift!"

The third eye on the forehead of the Tengu emitted a purplish-black light, which covered the ground beneath Yoriichi Tsugikuni's feet.

"Sun Breathing? Third Form? Blazing Red Mirror!"

Yoriichi Tsugikuni unleashed a deep red, arc-shaped horizontal slash at the land covered in purplish-black light, instantly creating a large gap in the ground and completely dispelling the purplish-black light.

The demon clutched its third eye on its forehead in agony: "My lord, this human's attack counters my Blood Demon Art. I need Aoboki's help!"

Kibuy Muzan looked at the other demon: "Seobō-ki!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

The Qingfang Ghost was dressed entirely in blue, with a body covered in brown and black, a single horn on its forehead, and was dressed as a monk. It kept striking the wooden fish in its hand.

Yosuke frowned, sensing something was wrong. Faced with Yoriichi Tsugikuni's natural restraint on Muzan Kibutsuji's attacks, Muzan Kibutsuji was now thinking of something other than running away.

Feeling uneasy, Yosuke immediately decided that he couldn't let these two demons get in Yoriichi's way!

"Blood Demon Art? Dark Entanglement!"

Countless drops of blood wove together a rope, binding the Heavenly Demon and the Blue Demon.

However, Kibuy Muzan, standing to the side, shattered Yosuke's Blood Demon Art, and the thorny whip behind him relentlessly attacked Yosuke.

"Ubuyashiki Yosuke, these three demons were originally intended for you, but I didn't expect the Demon Slayer Corps to have an existence that could threaten me. Isn't this human your hope? Once he disappears, what means do you have to stop me?"

Yosuke had no time to pay attention to Kibu Muzan's sarcastic remarks. Although he had great confidence in Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the demons who had received Kibu Muzan's demon king blood possessed unique blood demon arts abilities that were difficult to defend against.

"Blood Demon Art? Blood Reincarnation!"

Faced with Muzan Kibutsuji's thorny whip, Yosuke instantly created a clone made of blood, while his main body teleported backward.

Kibuy's attack missed, and Yosuke hurriedly withdrew, wanting to join forces with Yoriichi Tsugikuni to kill all three demons.

"Breath of the Moon? Fourteenth Form? Calamity? Full Moon!"

Kokushibo wielded the demon blade forged from his own flesh and blood, unleashing countless enormous crescent-shaped blade winds, which roared towards Yosuke along with countless giant crescent blades.

Faced with Kokushibo's attack and Kibu Muzan's imminent arrival from behind, Yosuke was caught in a pincer movement and could only temporarily swing his sword to defend against the impending attacks.

Meanwhile, on the other side is Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

"Sun Breathing? Ninth Form? Sunset Turns Around!"

In an instant, Kugenichiro flashed into the air, standing upside down, his blade wreathed in flames as intense as the sun, and unleashed a horizontal slash at both Tenjaku and Aoboki.

"Blood Demon Art? Iron Seal Defense!"

The wooden fish of the Green Demon instantly grew larger, enveloping the body of the Heavenly Evil Demon within it.

Yoriichi's setting sun slashed down on Seiboki's wooden fish, instantly setting the entire fish ablaze.

In an instant, the Blood Demon Art that Seibo-ki had used with all his might was burned away by Yoriichi Tsugikuni's attack, and the Tenjaku in the wooden fish revealed its body.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni had a bad feeling. Kibu Muzan, Kokushibo, and Aoboki were all protecting Amanojaku from successfully releasing his Blood Demon Art.

"Sun Breathing? Seventh Form? Yang Hua Sudden!"

Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who was already in the air, thrust his blade upwards at the Amanjaki, creating a ring of flames around the blade as he did so.

Just as the Amanojaku was about to be struck by Yoriichi Tsugikuni's slash, Aoboki stepped in front of it.

Yoriichi's Yanghua Sudden Strike struck Seiboki between the eyebrows.

The body of the Green Demon instantly burst into flames, turning to ashes and dissipating into the air in an instant.

Tsugikuni Yoriichi didn't dare to stop for a moment. Although he killed one of the three demons, Aoboki, in an instant, Tenjakuki was still unharmed.

"Sun Breathing? Second Form? Azure Heaven!"

Yoriichi Tsugikuni unleashed a circular slash wreathed in flames from below towards the Amanjaki.

However, the Amanojaku gave Yoriichi a strange smile, and a human appeared in front of the Amanojaku's body.

If Yoriichi Tsugikuni were to swing his sword at the Amanojaku, the humans in front of it would also be killed.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni paused his attack instinctively for a moment.

"You hesitated...human!"

"Blood Demon Art? Eye Shift!"

Yoriichi Tsugikuni's body was covered in a purplish-black light. When the light dissipated, Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Kokushibo disappeared together from the battlefield.

Upon seeing Yoriichi Tsugikuni disappear on the battlefield, Yosuke's face turned from pale to black. The Amanojaku's ability was actually a blood demon technique that involved spatial teleportation.

However, the moment Amanojaku used Blood Demon Art to teleport Yoriichi Tsugikuni away, it was grazed by the flames on Yoriichi Tsugikuni's sword. The flames, like maggots clinging to bones, spread throughout its body.

"Lord Muzan... save me..."

The Tenjaku staggered and crawled to the side of Kibu Muzan. Kibu Muzan smiled cruelly, grabbed the Tenjaku's head with one hand, twisted it off, and put it in his mouth to chew.

Kibuyaku Muzan looked at Yosuke with a mocking expression: "Now your hope has been teleported thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield to fight his brother, just like you and me now. So, how do you plan to stop me?"

Yosuke's mood actually calmed down at this moment, and he did not panic because of Yoriichi's disappearance.

Looking at the demon Muzan before him, Yosuke recalled his parents, Kaori, Yuta, Tamayo, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Naosai Ubuyashiki... even Kento Kamiji, who had always disliked him, was in Yosuke's memories. However, his memories of the world before him had become extremely blurry.

Recalling his past life, Yosuke's lips curled into a smile.

"Do you know, Muzan Kibutsuji, I am actually from two different worlds. Originally, I thought that coming to this world meant I could be free from moral constraints and do whatever I wanted, because I felt that I had nothing to do with others and that I could just enjoy myself."

However, under the loving care of my mother and father, and through the many kind people I met, I realized I was wrong. I couldn't possibly be oblivious to the love and care others gave me; I'm no different from them. Even in this second life, I still have my own responsibilities.

Yosuke's smile vanished, his eyes hardening with unwavering resolve, and his Nichirin Blade pointed directly at Muzan.

"Today, I will stop at nothing! Even if it means we both perish! I will kill you right here!"

Chapter 23 A Difficult Battle

Faced with Yosuke's words, Kibuy Muzan was incomprehensible and looked at Yosuke with rage: "Today, everyone here will die a miserable death at my hands!"

Yosuke charged toward Muzan, shouting, "Blood Breathing? Second Form? Blood Flame Claw Mark!"

He swung his Nichirin Blade three times toward Muzan's chest, each strike a crimson slash like a beast's claw.

Kibuy Muzan didn't move his body, but Yosuke's attack missed, so he couldn't help but taunt, "Now, you don't even have the ability to swing your sword at me anymore?"

As soon as Kibuy Muzan finished speaking, the three scarlet slashes that were still hanging in the air, resembling beast claws, suddenly exploded violently, sending Kibuy Muzan flying to the ground.

Kibuy Muzan scrambled to his feet, utterly enraged: "You arrogant little trickster! This little bit of damage is completely useless against me!"

Yosuke ignored Kibuy Muzan; as long as he left it there and waited for dawn, he would win.

As for what I should do after dawn?

Yosuke no longer cared.

"Blood Breathing? Third Form? Storm Flame Blood Blade!"

The blood swirling around Yosuke's Nichirin Blade, like burning flames, unleashed countless flying, blood-red blades at Muzan.

Kibuy Muzan unleashed a wide-area shockwave centered on himself, completely blocking Yosuke's flying blood blades.

The thorny whip behind Kibuyaku Muzan was also swung towards Yosuke.

"Blood Breathing? First Form? Crimson Corruption!"

Yosuke was enveloped in the scarlet flower stamen. Kibuyaku Muzan's whip pierced into the scarlet flower stamen, and even inside the scarlet flower stamen, Yosuke was still pierced through his body by several whips.

Yosuke endured the pain caused by the blood poison injected into his body by Kibuyaku Muzan.

"Bloom! Crimson flowers!"

The petals of the scarlet flower unfolded, and the shockwave from the explosion, accompanied by countless tiny scarlet petals, swept across the entire area.

However, the tiny scarlet petals entered Kibuyaku Muzan's body without causing the slightest ripple.

Yosuke flapped his blood wings, flew into the air, and swooped down toward Kibuyaku Muzan.

Just as Yosuke was about to arrive, Kibuy Muzan suddenly extended dozens of whips from his body, piercing Yosuke and fixing him in mid-air.

Kibuy Muzan's hands transformed into whips, and with a single swing, he successfully severed Yosuke's head.

"No matter how hard you try, you'll never be my match. A man-eating demon? Ridiculous!"

Yosuke, relying on his abnormal regenerative ability, broke through the limit and quickly regrew his head. Ignoring the body pierced by the whip, he forcibly flapped the blood wings behind him and approached Kibuy Muzan.

Yosuke's Nichirin Blade clashed with Kibuy Muzan's whip, producing a metallic clang.

The extremely bloody and brutal battle has only just begun.

Meanwhile, the battle between Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Kokushibo continues.
