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

The muscles in the goblin's back twitched.

With a roar from the demon, seven dragon heads broke through the skin on its back, and the dragon tails connected with the demon's back, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws towards the sun, signifying danger.

"Ubuyashiki Yosuke, by absorbing only half of your power, I have evolved to this almost perfect state. I can't wait to devour the whole of you!"

Behind the demon, one of the dragon heads gathered power in front of its mouth, and a wind-attribute energy blast with extreme compression shot towards Yosuke and Shion in the air.

At this moment, Yosuke, who had degenerated into the form of a demon king, could only construct a blood shield in the hope of being able to withstand the energy blasts.

However, the Blood Shield couldn't even block the energy blasts from the demons for a moment.

The ultimate wind-attribute energy blast destroyed the blood shield and rushed straight towards Yosuke.

Yosuke flapped the blood wings on his back and dodged to the side with Shion.

The energy blast grazed Yosuke's body and struck the wall behind him.

The shrine of the seal trembled violently, and the entire space was filled with chaotic gales.

To prevent Shion from being accidentally injured by these strong winds, Yosuke protected Shion with his blood.

The gale finally stopped. Shion, protected by Yosuke, was unharmed, but Yosuke's body was covered with countless wounds.

Just as Shion was about to ask if Yosuke was alright, she was horrified to discover a huge, penetrating wound in Yosuke's left abdomen.

Sensing Shion's gaze, Yosuke comforted her, "I'm fine, this kind of injury will heal soon."

However, Yosuke's life was not as easy as it seemed.

Because the wound, which should have healed instantly, took a while to heal on its own.

In addition to the wind attribute, the energy blast from the demon also contains other forces that suppress Yosuke's self-healing ability.

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

Yang Jie initiated the attack, but Wang Liang did not dodge in the face of Yang Jie's attack, allowing Yang Jie's attack to hit him.

Several slash wounds appeared on the body of the demon, but they all healed in the next second.

The demon's rampant laughter echoed throughout the Sealed Shrine: "Ubuyashiki Yosuke, have you forgotten your abilities? Immortality, extremely strong self-healing ability—I now possess those same abilities as you!"

The four dragon heads behind the demon began to gather power.

Water, fire, earth, and lightning energy projectiles were fired at Yosuke and Shion again.

Compared to the wind-attribute energy projectiles, these four energy projectiles were slightly slower, and Yosuke narrowly dodged them.

However, the entire shrine of the seal was already overwhelmed, and the magma began to surge violently.

The volcano is about to erupt.

Shion, nestled in Yosuke's arms, suggested, "Take me as close to the Wraith as possible. Perhaps only my power can fight against the Wraith now."

Yosuke nodded and, carrying Shion on his back, rushed towards the demon standing in the center of the volcano.

A holy light appeared in Ziyuan's palm and was aimed at Wangliang.

An extremely dazzling beam of light shot towards the demon.

The pillar of light, imbued with the priestess's power, slammed the demon directly into the lava.

At the same time, the volcano also began to erupt.

With Shion in tow, Yosuke flew away, weaving through the sparks flying from the lava.

Even after leaving the shrine of the seal, Gyutaro was still dutifully stopping the puppet soldiers.

Yosuke grabbed Gyutaro by the collar and flew him outside.

Gyutaro asked in confusion, "Is it over?"

Shion guessed, "It should be over by now. I saw the demon be struck by my priestess power and fall into the lava."

Yosuke poured cold water on the two of them: "Get ready to continue the fight. It's not over yet. If it were over, those puppet soldiers should have collapsed by now, and the aura of the demons hasn't disappeared either."

No sooner had Yosuke finished speaking than a lightning-attribute energy blast mixed with Yin Release shot toward Yosuke and his two companions.

Yosuke's blood wings were struck by purplish-black lightning, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

The demon broke out of the constantly erupting volcano.

The demon looked down at Yosuke and the other two, its gaze finally settling on Shion:

"The power of the shrine maiden clan might have been fatal to me before, but now that I have evolved to a higher level, the power of the shrine maiden is merely a low-dimensional power to me, completely useless!"

Faced with the gaze of the demon, Shion felt fear and hid behind Yosuke in terror.

Gyutaro's expression also changed completely, because he sensed Yosuke's power from the demon.

Yosuke warned Gyutaro, "Gyutaro, I might lose my temper in a moment, so protect her!"

Sensing Yosuke's determination, Gyutaro nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Yosuke-sama!"

Yang Jie reconstructed the blood wings on his back, flew into the air, and stood facing the demon that was also in the air.

At this moment, Yosuke only had half of his demonic power left in his body, which was insufficient to suppress the raging natural energy, and he could not possibly be a match for the evolved demon.

Therefore, Yosuke decided to simply stop suppressing natural energy and gain power at the cost of losing his rationality.

Yosuke continuously devours the natural forces that are free in nature.

The violent forces of nature instantly eroded Yosuke's will.

Because of the imbalance between the power of the demon and the energy of nature, the energy of nature within Yosuke's body is now dominant, and Yosuke's appearance is beginning to undergo a huge change.

As Yosuke gradually lost his mind, his fair skin turned into dark, keratinized skin, the color of his pupils and the whites of his eyes turned scarlet, sharp barbs grew on his arms, and the demon horns on his forehead became sharp and long.

Furthermore, Yosuke's body was wreathed in black and red flames.

The terrifying aura made it hard for Gyutaro and Shion to breathe.

If Yosuke's previous demonic sage form looked like a half-human, half-demon, Yosuke now looks like a complete demon.

Yang Jie let out a long roar, and the clouds of volcanic ash from the eruption were instantly blasted away.

Faced with Yosuke's current demonic form, the demon's expression was both surprised and delighted: "I didn't expect that even after I absorbed half of your power, you would still have this kind of strength. This is truly a pleasant surprise. Now I'm even more looking forward to seeing how much my strength will increase after I devour you completely."

The five dragon heads behind the demon simultaneously gathered power, and five energy bullets of five different attributes shot rapidly toward Yang Jie.

Chapter 280 Angels and Demons

Faced with the five types of energy blasts from the demon, the irrational Yosuke neither dodged nor evaded.

Yosuke exhaled a puff of white mist and drew his katana.

Under Yosuke's power, the katana also burned with black and red flames.

Several fiery slashes streaked across the sky. Of the five energy projectiles, three were destroyed, but the remaining two still struck Yosuke, causing a violent explosion.

When Shion saw Yosuke get hit, she felt a pang of anxiety and wanted to help, but was stopped by Gyutaro.

“Lord Yosuke is fine, but if you rush over now, you will be in trouble. You will be treated as an enemy. Lord Yosuke has completely lost his mind right now.”

Gyutaro, who has Yosuke's demon king blood in his body, can sense Yosuke's current state.

This was the first time Gyutaro had ever seen Yosuke so violent since he met him.

From within the smoke came a roar like that of a wild beast.

A pillar of black and red flame shot straight toward the demon.

The two dragon heads behind the demon, capable of using yin and yang attributes, spewed out two energy beams, one black and one white, which collided with Yang Jie's attack.

The pitch-black night seemed as bright as day.

Yosuke's body was forced to retreat uncontrollably, but the wraith in the air was not having an easy time either, and its body was also retreating.

The energy pillars of Yang Jie and Wang Liang collided violently, resulting in a massive explosion.

The demon searched for Yosuke's whereabouts amidst the smoke and dust generated by the explosion.

However, the demon suddenly felt a white breath coming out from behind him.

The demon's pupils constricted sharply, and it manipulated the dragon head on its back to bite at Yang Jie, who had appeared behind it.

However, Yosuke had already grabbed one of the dragon heads and was about to slash down with his katana.

Yosuke put the severed dragon head in his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

The demon deliberately distanced itself from Yang Jie, unable to understand how Yang Jie had managed to appear behind it so silently.

Yang Jie has already devoured one of the dragon heads.

Even though Yosuke's entire eye was scarlet, it couldn't hide the instinctive greed for the demons in his eyes.

Ziyuan, who was watching from below, covered her mouth; the bloody scene almost made her vomit.

The demon was still wary of Yang Jie, but the next second, Yang Jie's figure disappeared from the demon's sight again.

When the demon saw Yosuke again, the blade of Yosuke's katana was already inches away.

The demon dodged to the side, then kicked Yang Jie, sending him crashing back to the ground.

"I see. You're fighting on instinct, skipping the stage of inputting commands into your brain, which greatly increases your speed. But you're just a beast now, how could you possibly be my match!"

Having seen through Yang Jie's current state, Wang Liang no longer intended to entangle with him.

The dragon head that Yosuke had severed has regenerated.

The seven dragon heads behind the demon are gathering power, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Yang Jie.

Yosuke, who was fighting purely on instinct, also sensed the terror of the demon's attack and rapidly approached the demon, trying to interrupt it.

However, the demon that had devoured Yosuke's demonic power now had a large amount of purple blood around it, which wove a large net to bind Yosuke.

At the same time, the leader's strength has been fully accumulated.

"Yosuke-sama!"

With eyes blazing with fury, Gyutaro completely disregarded Shion and rushed towards Yosuke, wanting to help him.

He sensed from the attack that even an immortal ghost could not withstand it.

The demon sneered, "Die! Ubuyashiki Yosuke!"

The energy blasts of the five attributes plus the Yin-Yang attribute intertwined to form a devastating energy pillar that struck the bound Yang Jie head-on.
