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

Doma's expression remained unchanged, still bearing that calm smile.

"Blood Demon Art? Scattering Lotus!"

Tongmo waved his fans, scattering a large number of tiny ice flowers, each petal as sharp as a knife blade.

In an instant, Kanae and Shinobu were covered in tiny wounds, and their respective breathing techniques were interrupted.

Kanae and Shinobu Kocho looked pained. The ice flowers created by Doma's Blood Demon Art were highly poisonous, and the toxins were now rapidly spreading throughout their bodies through their wounds.

Douma covered half of his face with his fan and let out a chilling laugh:

"You must taste very good. After all, women who can carry a fetus have more nutrients than men. I will definitely savor your taste."

Despite the excruciating pain, Shinobu Kocho pulled out two vials of antidote made from wisteria flowers from her bosom and injected them into herself and Kanae Kocho.

The antidote took effect immediately, suppressing the deadly poison in their bodies, and Kanae and Shinobu were able to stand up once again.

Doma didn't stop them, but asked with interest, "Haven't you given up yet? Why struggle in this world full of suffering? Wouldn't it be better to live happily with me?"

"The expression on your face is truly disgusting. All your emotions must be just a facade, right? You can't understand the joy, sorrow, and anger that humans can naturally feel, or the emotions that make us tremble with emotion, can you?"

Kanae Kocho bluntly saw through Doma's pretense and mocked, "What exactly were you born for?"

After being thoroughly criticized by Kanae Kocho, Doma's smile gradually disappeared, and he stared blankly at the Kocho sisters.

Seeing Doma's expressionless face, Shinobu Kocho scoffed, "Are you angry? Actually, no, right? Your current expression is your true self. You can't feel any emotion. Does your life have any meaning?"

Doma did not answer the butterfly sisters; his expression remained unchanged as he waved his fans.

"Blood Demon Art? Frozen Clouds!"

In an instant, the entire room was filled with a large amount of ice crystals, which, like clouds, poured down on the butterfly sisters.

"The Breath of Insects? The Dance of Centipedes? The Belly of Centipedes!"

Shinobu Kocho used her powerful stomp to raise the ground, creating a cloud of dust that blocked Doma's frozen clouds. She then moved in all directions, disturbing Doma, and seized the opportunity to slash at Doma's neck with her Nichirin Blade.

Doma raised his fan and easily blocked Shinobu Kocho's Nichirin Blade that was aimed at his neck.

"Flower Breathing? Sixth Form? Whirlpool Peach!"

Kanae Butterfly did a somersault in mid-air and unleashed a horizontal slash, her Nichirin Blade leaving a trail of petals as it struck Doma's other side of the neck.

However, Kanae's Nichirin Blade did not feel like it was cutting into flesh. Instead, it felt like it was cutting through steel, and a shockwave came from the blade, making Kanae's hands go numb.

A thick layer of ice crystals formed on Doma's neck, blocking Kanae's slash.

Douma sighed: "Why can't you understand me? Oh well, you'll understand me after I devour you. Blood Demon Art? Frosty White Princess!"

Doma created two giant ice lotuses in the form of young girls that rose from the ground and instantly destroyed the house.

Ice Lotus White Princess exhaled freezing air from her mouth, and the entire ground began to freeze rapidly.

Upon seeing this, Kanae and Shinobu quickly retreated to avoid the freezing air.

However, the freezing air was moving much faster, and it looked like the butterfly sisters were about to be frozen solid.

"Flower Breathing? Final Form? Crimson Eyes of the Other Shore!"

Kanae's eyes turned blood red as she increased her dynamic vision to the limit by applying pressure to her eyeballs, causing the movement of objects in her field of vision to become extremely slow.

Instead of retreating, Kanao Butterfly advanced, using her exceptional dynamic vision to evade the freezing air and rush towards the Ice Lotus White Princess.

"Flower Breathing? Fifth Form? Fruitless Peony!"

Kanae Butterfly unleashed a nine-hit combo from all directions, like peony petals piercing towards the Ice Lotus White Princess. The powerful piercing force caused the Ice Lotus White Princess to collapse instantly.

However, at the last moment, Kanae Butterfly was still hit by the freezing air, her feet froze, and she was unable to move.

"Blood Demon Art? Winter Ice Pillar!"

Doma created many sharp icicles on Kanae's head, which then fell from mid-air.

Shinobu Kocho watched helplessly as the ice pillar was about to hit Kanae Kocho, but she was too far away to get to her side immediately.

Shinobu Kocho's eyes widened in horror: "Sister!"

Just as the ice pillar was about to hit Kanae Butterfly, a loud bang was heard across the battlefield, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Shinobu Kocho vaguely saw four figures appear in front of Kanae Kocho through the smoke.

Chapter 44 Combat

As the smoke cleared, Shinobu Kocho could see four figures appearing on the battlefield.

Shinobu Kocho stared blankly at the four people who had suddenly appeared in front of Kanae Kocho: "Who...are you?"

"rule!"

"Love Snow!"

"Whore Taro!"

"plum!"

Gyutaro kept scratching his cheeks, looking at Kanae Kocho beside him: "Huh, are these two Yosuke-sama's apprentices? They look so weak."

Osamu interrupted Gyutaro, saying, "Gyutaro, don't say that. As a human, your strength is already quite good."

Renyuki removed the ice crystals that were wrapped around Konae's feet and comforted her, "It's alright, it was Yosuke-sama who sent us here."

Xiaomei looked around excitedly: "Hey, where's Lord Yosuke? Where is he?"

"Master didn't come..."

Xiaomei immediately lost interest, pouted, and sulked.

Shinobu rushed to Kanae's side: "Sister, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." Kanae Kocho's head was still spinning. She never expected to run into the four people Yosuke always thought about here.

Facing Doma, Osamu was filled with fighting spirit: "You, the Upper Moon Two of the Twelve Demon Moons, known as the Ice Demon, we've been looking for you for a long time!"

Doma gave a harmless smile: "Oh dear, should I be showing a scared expression now?"

"I'm really looking forward to it! Technique unfolds! Plain Flow Technique? Destruction Kill? Leg Style? Flying Star Thousand Wheels!"

Ji unleashed a snowflake array and instantly rushed towards Doma, his trajectory unpredictable, like a wandering meteor, continuously delivering a series of swirling, turbulent kicks to Doma.

"Mr. Osamu is still in such a hurry. I want to fight too~" Gyutaro scratched his cheek until it was bleeding, but it healed in the next second.

Lianxue looked at Zhi, who was enjoying the battle, shook her head helplessly, and helped the Butterfly sisters up from the ground.

"Your bodies are poisoned by a demon. Wisteria flowers can only suppress the poison, not remove it. Now I will help you remove the poison from your bodies."

After she finished speaking, snowflakes appeared in Lianxue's palms. The snowflakes entered her body through the wounds, instantly neutralizing the deadly poison that had been damaging the body cells of the Butterfly Sisters.

At this moment, the Butterfly Sisters' attention was drawn to the battle between Osamu and Doma.

"Plain Flow Technique? Destructive Kill? Footwork? Crown Cut!"

Osamu suddenly kicked Doma from below, striking him on the head. Half of Doma's head was instantly severed, and his body flew backward, crashing into the lotus pond.

"So... strong!" Shinobu Kocho stared in disbelief at the scene. She never expected that Doma, who could easily hurt her and her sister, would be beaten so badly.

The sound of Doma falling into Lotus Lake was muffled.

"Blood Demon Art? Crystal Child!"

Four ice dolls identical to Doma appeared in the lotus pond and rushed towards Osamu, Koyuki, Gyutaro, and Koume respectively.

Gyutaro excitedly pulled out his Blood Scythe. "Mr. Osamu, I wasn't planning on getting involved in your fight, but he provoked me first, so don't blame me."

"Blood Demon Art? Flying Blood Scythe!"

Countless thin blades made of blood struck Doma's ice doll, instantly shattering it.

With a powerful leap, Gyutaro appeared above the lotus pond at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Blood Demon Art? Circular Slash Spin? Flying Blood Scythe!"

Spiral-shaped slashes of blood coiled around Gyutaro's hands as he fiercely attacked Doma, who had just emerged from the lotus pond.

Instantly, under Gyutaro's powerful slash, water splashed everywhere in the lotus pond, and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

The remains of Doma's body floated on the lake.

"Is it... over?" The butterfly sisters stared in disbelief.

"How could that be? The demons of each of the Twelve Demon Months are not so easy to deal with, and the fatal wound was not caused by the Nichirin Blade. No matter how serious the injury is, it can be healed immediately."

As soon as Mei finished speaking, Doma's mangled body was restored, and the entire surface of Lake Renka was frozen. Doma stood on the ice, facing Osamu and Gyutaro, his expression unchanged.

"What astonishing power! The two of you are already strong enough to be among the Upper Moons of the Twelve Demon Moons. I'm really curious, why would you demons help humans?"

Osamu snorted coldly, "Hmph, I'm not like you demons created by Muzan Kibutsuji. Although we are demons, we haven't given up our human nature!"

Douma clapped his hands: "Interesting, really interesting. Even though you're already a demon, are you still unwilling to give up your human identity?"

Xiaomei urged, "Mr. Zhi, brother, stop wasting time talking to it and hurry up and finish it off. Then let's go find Lord Yangjie. I can't wait to see Lord Yangjie!"

Osamu's eyes were also filled with longing: "I really want to see Lord Yosuke right away and show him how much I've improved over the past few years!"

Doma's expression suddenly changed to one of realization: "Yosuke? Ubuyashiki Yosuke? I see. You are the demons created by that person as a thorn in their side. If we get rid of you here, that person will be very happy."

"Blood Demon Art? Mist Ice? Water Lily Bodhisattva!"

A gigantic ice figure appeared in the lotus pond, resembling a bodhisattva sitting in meditation with his hands clasped together, while Doma's body was hidden within it.

Doma, inside the Ice Man, commands the Ice Man to swing its palms and attack Osamu and Gyutaro.

"Plain Flow Technique? Destruction Kill? Annihilation Style!"

Zhi unleashed a devastating punch, and the moment his fist touched the Ice Man's palm, a massive explosion occurred.

The Ice Man instantly lost an arm, but in the next moment, his arm quickly regenerated, and he attacked the group again.

"Plain Flow Technique? Destructive Kill? Final Move? Azure Silver Chaotic Remnant Light!"

With himself at the center, he launched hundreds of missiles in all directions in an instant.

The Ice Man's body was instantly riddled with holes by the missile attack.

Kanae Butterfly, having awakened her Crimson Eyes, saw Doma emerge from the Ice Man's body due to Osamu's attack.

Kanae Butterfly takes a deep breath: "Flower Breathing? Third Form? Hidden Flower Dance!"
