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

"Have you heard? People are going missing every night in the East Street area of ​​Edo."

"Ah, I've heard that too. It's said to have been made by an evil spirit."

"There are no evil spirits, it must have been the work of robbers or something."

...

Yosuke silently finished the sake in his cup, put his straw hat back on, and left the izakaya.

"The road to redemption is long and arduous."

In a small alley on East Street, Yosuke watched indifferently as a demon devoured a corpse.

The demon turned to look at Yosuke. With Yosuke suppressing his demon king aura, the demon thought it was some newborn demon that had come here to hunt for food.

"Get out! This is not your hunting ground!"

Yosuke lowered his eyes, remained silent, and slowly drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist.

Before the demon could react in astonishment, Yosuke had already appeared behind it.

The demon's gaze was rapidly falling, and it saw its own headless body.

"Am I... have I been beheaded?"

Yosuke sheathed his Nichirin Blade and was about to turn and leave when the demon's head, which was about to lose consciousness and disappear, suddenly opened its eyes wide and stared at Yosuke.

"Ha, found you, my foolish brother!"

That chilling voice, and that indifferent gaze...

It's Kibuki Muzan!

Yosuke activated his senses to the maximum and discovered that Kibuy Muzan's aura was rapidly approaching.

Time is of the essence; Yosuke must leave this place immediately.

Kibuy Muzan's target is himself; if he chooses to fight here, everyone on this street will die.

Yosuke arrived at a deserted valley and waited quietly for Muzan Kibutsuji to arrive.

At the top of the valley, Kibuyaku Muzan looked down disdainfully at Yosuke in the valley.

"We're both Demon Kings, but Yang Jie, you really make me look down on you."

Yang Jie scoffed and retorted, "Do I have to be like you, harming lives and resorting to any means to achieve immortality before you'll respect me?"

Bathed in moonlight, Muzan Kibutsuji spread his arms and uttered his despicable words: "We demons have long since broken free from the shackles of being a lower species. Humans are nothing more than food for us, a means for us to become stronger! And you, you foolishly still consider yourself human."

Yang Jie retorted, "The meaning of life lies in living a fulfilling life, not in living a long life. Life is like flowing water; it is only beautiful and meaningful when it is rushing forward. Life is only once, and it is the most precious thing for everyone!"

"Hmph, what life?! What meaning?! If you can't live forever, everything you gain will vanish, it's all meaningless. Ubuyashiki Yosuke, today I'm giving you one last chance. Join me, and with the two of us demon kings, no one in this world can stop us!"

Yosuke scoffed, "Kibu Muzan, you really are outrageously despicable. The reason you're giving me this long-winded lecture is because you can't do anything to me, right? As a fellow demon king, you can't control me, manipulate me, and you certainly can't... kill me!"

Kibuy Muzan's killing intent surged instantly, and he coldly snorted, "Then let's try it!"

Kibuy Muzan directly entered his Demon King form, his jet-black hair turned deathly white, his limbs and lower body were covered in blood and hair, and huge mouths with sharp teeth grew out of his body, filling the air with a strong smell of blood.

Faced with Muzan Kibutsuji's Demon King form, Yosuke also entered Demon King form.

His jet-black hair turned blood red, and blood wings sprouted from his back, his body surrounded by flowing blood.

As the demon king auras of Kibuyaku Muzan and Yosuke clashed, a massive cloud of dust rose up in the valley.

The great war between the demons who were the beginning of the world... is about to break out!

Chapter 10 Battle (10 chapters today)

Yang Jie took the initiative, flapping the blood wings behind him and hovering in mid-air.

"Blood Demon Art? Shadow Wolf!"

Dozens of shadow wolves appeared out of thin air, howling and baring their fangs as they charged toward Kibuyaku Muzan.

With his hands transformed into spiked whips, Kibuyaku Muzan annihilated all the Shadow Wolves with a single strike. The whips struck the mountainside, and the immense force caused the mountain to collapse.

Kibuy Muzan's whip once again pierced towards Yosuke, who was suspended in mid-air, at extremely high speed. Yosuke dodged to the side and then chose to take the initiative to approach Kibuy Muzan.

The blood surrounding Yosuke's body changed shape, transforming into countless sharp needles that pierced towards Kibu Muzan.

Kibuy Muzan neither dodged nor evaded, allowing Yosuke's blood needles to pierce his body, and Yosuke's blood poison to be injected into Kibuy Muzan's body.

However, Yosuke's attack also allowed Kibuy Muzan to grab his hands. Kibuy Muzan's nine whips pierced Yosuke's back, and Muzan's blood poison was also injected into Yosuke's body.

Yosuke and Kibu Muzan's bodies are undergoing rapid cell destruction due to the invasion of toxins.

The two fell from the top of the valley to the bottom.

As demon kings, Yosuke and Muzan, with their abnormally fast regeneration, had already neutralized the blood poison in their bodies during their fall into the valley.

Just as Yosuke was about to flap his wings and fly into the air to launch a long-range attack, Kibuy Muzan grabbed his feet and slammed him to the ground with such force that it created a deep crater.

The nine-sectioned whip behind Kibuyaku Muzan was unleashed, stabbing towards Yosuke in the deep pit.

With a loud "boom," a tremendous sound filled the entire valley.

However, Kibuy Muzan frowned. The feeling of the nine-section whip was wrong; it hadn't hit Yosuke.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Yosuke had vanished from the deep pit.

Activating Blood Demon Art? Yosuke, with his blinding gaze, was waiting for an opportunity.

However, just as Yosuke secretly approached Muzan Kibutsuji, Muzan Kibutsuji's whip, which was facing away from him, stabbed towards Yosuke's position.

Kibuyaku Muzan sneered at Yosuke, who forcibly deactivated the Blood Demon Art: "Heh, invisibility, huh? Remember next time, when you're invisible, hide your demonic aura too."

Yang Jie snorted coldly, "I don't need you to remind me."

After saying that, Yosuke drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist.

Kibuy Muzan was extremely familiar with the Nichirin Blade; many of his demons had died by its blade.

Kibuyaku Muzan sneered at Yosuke, "Nichirin Blade? Ubuyashiki Yosuke, you really have fallen to the lowest level. As a demon, you wield a weapon to slay demons. You don't actually think that a weapon containing a trace of the sun's power can kill me, do you?"

"You've fallen into depravity? You're the one who's fallen, Kibu Muzan! You betrayed your parents, your family, your race! You should never have been born!"

Thinking of his parents' tragic deaths, the curse of his family, and the suffering of humanity, Yosuke was filled with rage!

"Ha, betrayal? They were nothing but stepping stones for me to become the strongest demon. They should be proud of it. They weren't grateful that I didn't kill them all. Instead, they formed the Demon Slayer Corps to stop me. They all deserve to die!"

Kibuy Muzan looked up at the sky. The dark night sky was already faintly lit, and sunrise was just around the corner.

Kibuyaku Muzan stared coldly at Yosuke in front of him: "Ubuyashiki Yosuke, there's one thing you're right about: I can't kill you, but I can make you remember the fear I inflicted on you that night!"

"Blood Demon Art: Black Blood Thorn"

Countless black thorns sprouted from Muzan Kibutsuji's body, covering the entire valley.

Yosuke swung his Nichirin Blade, trying to cut the thorns that were within reach, but when the Nichirin Blade slashed down with all its might, it was the Nichirin Blade that broke.

Yang Jie was instantly pierced by the thorns, and his body, riddled with holes, bled profusely.

Kibuy Muzan adjusted his top hat, looking disdainfully at Yosuke, who was pierced by thorns.

“You who choose not to eat people will never reach my level, Yosuke Ubuyashiki. I hereby warn you not to interfere with me, or I will make you recall the scene of my arm being torn off and humiliated that night.”

Yosuke coughed up a mouthful of blood, coldly looking at Kimu Muzan who still scorned him: "Do you think I'm still the same powerless me?"

"Blood Demon Art? Blood Domain!"

With Yosuke's low shout, the blood flowing from his body spread throughout the valley, forming a domain composed of blood.

Kibuyaku Muzan's black thorns were swallowed by blood, and within the blood domain, weapons made of blood rose from the ground.

Yosuke flapped his blood-red wings and flew into the air.

With a wave of his hand, Yosuke summoned a katana from among the numerous weapons in the Blood Domain. Yosuke grasped the blood-stained katana and hurled it at Muzan.

Kibuy Muzan's hands transformed into whips once more, clashing with Yosuke's blood-red katana.

The whip was knocked away, and Yosuke's blood samurai sword was destroyed, turning into a pool of blood that once again merged into the blood domain.

A blood-red spear rose into the air once more from the blood domain, was grasped by Yosuke, and, taking advantage of the gap, was thrown, piercing through Kibuyaku Muzan's body and pinning him to the ground.

Yosuke instantly appeared in front of Kibu Muzan, forcefully stomped on the spear, driving it deep into the ground to firmly immobilize Kibu Muzan. Then, with his free left hand, he grasped a blood-stained pheasant sword, preparing to behead Kibu Muzan.

However, Kibuy Muzan tilted his head, and the pheasant blade only struck half of Kibuy Muzan's head, making Kibuy Muzan, with only half a head, look incredibly terrifying.

However, in the blink of an eye, Kibuy Muzan's head was fully restored, and the spiked whips on his hands and the nine-sectioned whip on his back pierced through Yosuke's body. The gaping maw on his arm bit Yosuke's hands, rendering him unable to move.

The situation reached a stalemate, with neither side able to move, and the sky gradually brightened.

Because they were in the shadows of the valley, the two had not yet been affected by the sunlight, but it was clear that Kibuy Muzan's expression became flustered.

Kibuy Muzan struggled desperately, but was held in place by the spear. His hands and the whip were unable to move because they had pierced Yosuke's body, and Yosuke controlled his muscles to prevent them from being pulled out.

As the sunlight drew closer, Ghost Dance Wu Can shouted fiercely, "Do you want to die with me?!"

Yosuke showed no sign of letting go: "If I can die with you, then it's not unacceptable. Kibu Muzan, die!"

"madman!"

Kibuy Muzan cursed under his breath and used his hidden trump card.

An extremely powerful, wide-area shockwave emanated from Kibuyaku Muzan himself, spreading outwards.

Yosuke was thrown back by the powerful impact and slammed hard against the mountain wall, while Kibuy Muzan took the opportunity to escape the scene at high speed.

Yosuke struggled to his feet from the ground. Because he had used his trump card, Blood Demon Art: Blood Domain, a large amount of blood had been lost, leaving him extremely weak. Now that the sunlight was about to fill the entire valley, Yosuke could only rest temporarily in a cave in the valley.

Yosuke glanced in the direction where Kibu and Muzan had fled and sneered:

"Kimu Muzan, it seems I've truly terrified you this time!"

Chapter 11 Yoriichi Tsugikuni

In a pharmaceutical factory, the rampaging Kibuy Muzan slaughtered all the humans inside.

The bodies were scattered throughout the pharmaceutical factory, including those of its adoptive parents.

Kibuy Muzan felt incredibly humiliated because the Demon Slayer Corps with their Breathing Techniques and Yosuke's killing of demons around the world had slowed down their search for the Blue Spider Lily. So he decided to threaten Yosuke.

However, Kibuy Muzan never expected that he, who should have been able to steadily suppress Yosuke, would almost perish together with him.
