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

Yosuke cannot leave even for a moment, because Yosuke's blood is needed to stop the carbonization of Tsugikuni Iwakatsu.

It's time to torment Yosuke again.

The Butterfly Sisters and Tamayo kept communicating with each other using technical jargon, but Tamayo couldn't understand a word and could only be a blood transfusion tool.

"First, all the charred wounds must be removed, and measures must be taken to prevent infection."

We have entered the modern world, and medicine has become very advanced, with a wide variety of medical tools available.

Shinobu used small tweezers to carefully remove the charcoal from the wound bit by bit.

Kanae Butterfly used disinfectant to continuously clean the wound to prevent secondary infection.

Tamayo was preparing the medications for the subsequent treatment.

As for Yosuke, he stood there blankly, watching the Butterfly Sisters and Tamayo bustling about, and received the instruction to inject blood into Tsugikuni Iwakatsu.

The treatment lasted for eight hours before it finally ended.

Ji Guoyansheng lay on the bed like a mummy, his body wrapped in bandages, but his condition was still far from optimistic.

Tamayo's expression was extremely grim: "Although all the wounds have been cleaned, the burning inside Tsugikuni Iwakatsu's body has not stopped."

The butterfly sisters remained silent, pondering treatment options in their minds.

There was nothing that could be done about Ji Guoyansheng's injury.

Yosuke suddenly remembered someone, someone who might be able to save Tsugikuni Iwakatsu.

Yosuke asked Shinobu Kocho, "Where are Tanjiro and the others now?"

"Tanjiro and the others are currently on a mission with Mr. Kyojuro. Mr. Tanjiro couldn't stand the loneliness, so he went along too."

"Is Zhi here too? That's wonderful!" Yosuke was overjoyed.

Kanae asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, Master? Could it be that Tanjiro and the others can heal Kokushibo?"

Do you guys still remember Nezuko's Blood Demon Art?

The Butterfly Sisters and Tamayo were both taken aback, guessing Yosuke's thoughts: "Could it be that you want to...?"

"That's right, Nezuko's Blood Demon Art? Bursting Blood has the special characteristic of 'only burning what it wants to burn.' If the ability that caused Tsugikuni Iwakatsu's body to be constantly carbonized is something else, then perhaps Nezuko's Blood Demon Art can be effective."

Yosuke's idea was accepted, and Yosuke informed Osamu through the Oni Crow.

Upon receiving the news, Osamu informed Tanjiro, the other two, and Kyojuro Rengoku. The five of them, not daring to delay, rushed back to the Butterfly Mansion together.

Upon returning to the Butterfly Mansion, Tanjiro and the other four immediately went to Kokushibo's hospital room.

"Lord Yosuke, we're back!" Osamu greeted Yosuke as soon as he entered.

Looking at Kokushibo, who was wrapped up like a mummy, Rengoku Kyojuro asked curiously, "Is this Kokushibo, the Upper Moon One?"

Inosuke shuddered: "This guy... despite being so badly injured, the aura he exudes still sends chills down my spine."

"This guy is beyond saving, isn't he?" Zenitsu's keen hearing could only detect an extremely faint heartbeat.

Yosuke interrupted them, saying, "Alright, the situation is indeed not optimistic. Tanjiro, let Nezuko come out. We can only pin our hopes on Nezuko now."

Tanjiro nodded, put down the wooden box on his back, and Nezuko climbed out of the box, her size returning to normal from her shrunken state.

Chapter 108 Recovery

Yosuke gently ruffled Nezuko's hair and said to her softly, "Nezuko, next you need to cast Blood Demon Art on that person on the bed. Remember, you need to burn that scorching power."

Yosuke was also a little uneasy, worried that Nezuko hadn't understood his meaning and had burned Kokushibo's entire body.

Nezuko tilted her little head and nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Nezuko approached Kokushibo and placed her hand in front of him.

As Nezuko's blood flowed out, it dripped onto Kokushibo's body, and then burst into flames.

The flames did not burn the clothes and bandages on Jikuni Iwakatsu's body, but the temperature of the flames was so high that the entire room became like an oven.

Time passed second by second. Because using the Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst consumes a large amount of her own blood, which is the source of her demonic power, Nezuko's forehead was also covered in sweat.

Zenitsu, with his keen hearing, was the first to notice something different about Kokushikatsu: "His heartbeat... is getting stronger and stronger!"

Nezuko's Blood Demon Art ended, and due to massive blood loss, Nezuko was forced into a childlike state.

Nezuko jogged over to Yosuke's side and tugged at his trouser leg.

Yosuke affectionately picked up Nezuko and praised her, "Well done, Nezuko."

Nezuko nuzzled Yosuke's arm with her head, and then Yosuke returned Nezuko to Tanjiro.

Kanae Butterfly examines Iwakatsu Tsugikuni's body and finds that his breathing is stable, his vital signs have gradually stabilized, and the continuous burning power in his body has disappeared.

After the examination, Kanae Kocho said, "Alright, let's leave the ward and let him get some rest."

Everyone left the ward.

Just as Yosuke was about to close the door, a weak voice came from Tsugikuni Iwakatsu: "Ubuyashiki... Yosuke."

Yosuke returned to Tsugikuni Iwakatsu's side and said softly, "I'm here."

Do you believe in the existence of the soul?

Yosuke nodded firmly and replied, "I believe you, because I have seen important people who have passed away more than once, and it was Yoriichi who told me to go to Sabetsu Island."

"Yeah..."

Recalling his meeting with Yoriichi, Kokuichi murmured, "I didn't believe that people's souls existed after they died; I thought it was just my obsession."

But I saw Yoriichi at his grave, and that time I faced my own heart.

The second time I fought against Muzan Kibutsuji, I was in dire straits when I met Yoriichi again. He lent me his power, allowing me to use the Sun Breathing technique, which I shouldn't have been able to use, to fight against Muzan Kibutsuji.

But... I failed...

Kokushima's expression was tinged with bitterness: "Even though Yoriichi is dead, I still make him worry... I'm such a useless older brother."

Yosuke asked in surprise, "Is the Breath of the Sun because of Yoriichi? Can the soul also give power?"

"Although it is incredible, I can feel that I can use the Breath of the Sun entirely because of Yoriichi. As a demon, I would never be able to use the Breath of the Sun. If I can control the Breath of the Sun, I will not suffer any backlash."

Yosuke asked again, "Why were you fighting Kibu and Muzan on Sabetsu Island?"

"I once said that my understanding of being Kibuy Muzan's subordinate is limited to the point that Kibuy Muzan found the priest clan."

Yosuke's eyes widened, his expression grave: "You mean, Sabetsu Island is the residence of the priests, and Kibu Muzan has already obtained the priests?"

"That's right. Kibuy Muzan probably already knew I had betrayed him, so when I was about to slaughter the priests, it suddenly appeared and stopped me."

Yosuke's face was extremely pale. Although he didn't know if the priests could help Kibuy Muzan overcome sunlight, he had to be prepared for the worst.

After a moment of silence, Yosuke instructed Tsugikuni Iwakatsu, "You should rest well for now. It's safe here."

Kokushima suddenly said, "Could I meet that boy named Kamado Tanjiro?"

Yang Jie nodded and said, "Okay, he's outside right now."

Yosuke left the ward and let Tanjiro in.

Tanjiro was puzzled. He had never had any interaction with Kokushibo, so why did he want to see him?

After Tanjiro stood next to Kokushibo, Kokushibo looked at Tanjiro with teary eyes and sighed, "You and Yoriichi are really alike... I can feel it, you are just as kind and gentle as Yoriichi."

Tanjiro didn't know how to answer Kokushibo, so he could only stand there obediently.

"Tanjiro..." Kokushimaru suddenly called out.

"exist!"

"Could you place your hand on my forehead?"

Tanjiro gently placed his hand on Kokushibo's forehead.

Feeling the warmth of Tanjiro's palm, Kokushibo's tears flowed uncontrollably as he murmured Yoriichi's name repeatedly.

Tanjiro sensed endless sorrow and self-blame in Kokushibo's scent, and his tense body relaxed as he silently comforted Kokushibo.

A month has passed, and Kokushiro Tsugikuni's limbs have fully healed. He can no longer use Sun Breathing, although he can still use Moon Breathing, but his strength has plummeted.

Because the flames of the Sun Breathing burned away most of the blood of Kibu Muzan within Kokushiro, his strength decreased significantly.

Yosuke originally wanted to inject his own blood to restore Kokushima's strength.

However, Yosuke's kindness was rejected by Kokushiro Tsugikuni: "I'm tired. I also want to put my hopes on the future, just like Yoriichi."

Yosuke respected Kokushibo's choice, and with that same will, Kokushibo taught Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke without reservation.

Although Kokushiro Tsugikuni's strength is now only a fraction of what it once was, he has accumulated a wealth of combat experience as a samurai over the centuries, and in this respect, no one can compare to him.

Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Yosuke, the Butterfly Sisters, Kyojuro Rengoku, Osamu, Gyutaro, and Kokushibo have now reached the level of Pillars.

Furthermore, Tanjiro learns from Kokushibo that there is a thirteenth sword form of Sun Breathing, which is an infinite continuous attack that uses the twelve sword forms of Sun Breathing in a continuous cycle.

Although Tanjiro cannot use Hinokami Kagura continuously, he is already extremely proficient in a single sword technique, and he is working hard towards that goal.

Chapter 109 Nezuko Regains Her Language

Within the Infinite City.

Before Muzan lay piles of white bones, and the clothes scattered on the ground revealed the identity of these skeletons as members of the priest clan brought back from Sabetsu Island.

Ghost Dance Y devoured most of the people with great anticipation, and apart from feeling full, her body didn't change in the slightest.

The joy he had finally gained from the priest vanished in an instant. Enraged, Kibuy Muzan wreaked havoc in the Infinite Castle, releasing the pent-up anger in his heart.

The only ones still standing in front of Muzan are Doma, who was slashed in the chest by Kokushibo, and Inatama Kaigaku, who lost his right hand.

Although Muzan Kibutsuji was able to heal the wounds inflicted by Iwakatsu Tsugikuni's Sun Breathing, it doesn't mean that Doma and Kaigaku Inatama could. Even if they removed the wounds covered in Sun Breathing flames in time, they were unable to heal themselves.

In this battle, only Hantengu, who had been fighting using clones, remained unharmed.

With the betrayal of Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, only four of the Twelve Demon Moons remained. Muzan Kibutsuji still needed them to do his bidding, so he once again bestowed upon them the blood of the Demon King, allowing their injuries to slowly heal.

The priest clan is now down to its last member, who is also the clan leader and the priest who first met Yosuke and Kokushiro.

Intending to kill the remaining priests, Kibuy Muzan suddenly remembered the clues that Tsugikuni Iwakatsu had brought from Mount Akabane.

Kibuyaku Muzan grabbed the priest by the neck, lifting him off the ground. Suppressing the violent killing intent in his heart, he asked, "Where is your god?!"
