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

However, just as Zhi and his companions were halfway there, a large number of evil spirits filled the gaps once again, blocking their progress.

"Breath of the Moon? Pick-up Form? Face-Piercing Slash? Crescent Moon Through Leaf!"

Muichiro unleashed two giant, swirling, crescent-shaped sword energies, shattering all the evil spirits blocking his path.

Muichiro gave Osamu and the others a warm smile and said, "Go!"

Osamu said to Koyuki and Koume, "Koyuki, Koume, you, along with Kanae and Shinobu, stay here and help the Demon Slayer Corps fight off the evil spirits. Gyutaro and I will go to the Infinity Castle to rescue Lord Yosuke!"

"We understand!" Lianxue and Xiaomei did not refute. They had a deep understanding of their own strength and that they might be a hindrance in the Infinite City.

Osamu and Gyutaro rushed into the Infinite Castle.

Doma asked, "Lord Muzan, two demons under Yosuke Ubuyashiki's command have entered the Infinity Castle. Should I go and deal with them?"

"No need. With Nakime in charge of the Infinite Castle, they can't cause any trouble. Even I can't damage that black coffin in the slightest. Besides, they think they can rescue Ubuyashiki Yosuke? How laughable! Doma, Hantengu, go ahead and play with them!"

Doma and Hantengu revealed bloodthirsty smiles: "Yes! Lord Muzan!"

"Blood Demon Art? Crystal Child!"

Doma created six small ice figures capable of fighting independently and also using Blood Demon Art to join the battle.

"Blood Demon Art? Materialization? Split"

Hantengu also split into four immortal emotional clones to join the battle.

The addition of Doma and Hantengu to the battlefield plunged the hard-won stabilization into a disadvantageous situation once again. Not to mention the terrible state that would be if Muzan Kibutsuji, who was watching from the sidelines, joined the battle.

The reason why Muzan Kibutsuji hasn't joined the battle yet is because he's wary of the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps who are fighting hard, as well as the chosen one, Tanjiro Kamado.

With the help of the God, Kibuyaku Muzan once experienced his future destiny in his mind, in which he was killed by these despised humans.

To avoid repeating the same mistake, Kibuy Muzan chose to remain on the sidelines, weakening the demons with his army of demons before swallowing them into the Infinity Castle. He then used Nakime's Blood Demon Art to kill them one by one, which was the safest approach.

Kibuy Muzan sneered, "What predetermined fate? My future is in my own hands!"

Chapter 134 The Final Battle

Doma and Hantengu's clones joined the battle, causing widespread death and injury wherever they went.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who was in command at the Ubuyashiki mansion, knew that it would be meaningless for Demon Slayer Corps members whose strength did not reach the level of Pillars to join the battle against the Upper Moons. They would only sacrifice their lives in vain and make the Pillar-level fighters hesitant to fight.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki immediately ordered: "Demon Slayer Corps members below the Pillar level, do your best to hold off the demon army and clear a battlefield. Don't let the demons interfere with the Pillar-level battle! Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Genya Shinazugawa will stay behind to support the Pillars in their battle!"

After the order was given, the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, who were still fighting fiercely, continued to push the battlefield, and through their tireless efforts, they finally cleared a battlefield where the Pillars could fight.

Only a few scattered demons remained on the battlefield. After the Pillars worked together to kill them, they were finally able to face Doma, Hantengu, and Muzan.

"Everyone be careful. Doma and Hantengu's strength is not what it used to be. They may have accepted and endured Kibu Muzan's blood again. Their strength has reached the level of when I was the Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, or even stronger!" Tsugikuni Iwakatsu cautiously warned.

The hot-tempered Sanemi Shinazugawa glared with bloodshot eyes and sneered, "No matter how strong they are, as long as we kill them, that's enough!"

"Wind Breathing? Third Form? Sunny Breeze Tree!"

Shinazugawa Sanemi took the initiative, instantly unleashing three wind blades from himself towards Doma, Hantengu, and Kibu Muzan.

"Blood Demon Art? The Frosty White Princess!"

Doma brandished his fans, using the Blood Demon Art enhanced by Muzan Kibutsuji's blood to create nine ice lotuses in the form of young girls, freezing a large area by blowing freezing air from their mouths.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's wind blades were instantly frozen, and a large amount of freezing air spread rapidly.

Katsumi Tsugikuni and Muichiro Tokito exchanged a glance and stepped forward to stand in front of the group.

"Breath of the Moon? Ninth Form? Fallen Moon? Faceless!"

At the same time, Kuniwa Katsu and Tokito Muichiro swung their Nichirin Blades, unleashing a series of chaotic and invisible slashes in the air, creating multiple intersecting blade winds and crescent blades that sealed off all the freezing air.

Half-Heaven Dog merges its two clones to form the strongest clone, Hungpo Ten.

"Blood Demon Art? Tearful Thrust!"

Zeng Potian slapped the taiko drum behind him, releasing several extremely destructive shockwaves.

"Water Breathing? Eleventh Form? M!"

Giyu Tomioka entered a state of tranquil stillness, neutralizing all the shockwaves released by Zōhaten.

With Giyu Tomioka's ability to nullify all spells that enter the attack range of his blade, the group launched their attack.

The strongest among the pillars, Gyomei Himejima, leaped into the air.

"Breath of Rock? Fifth Form? Kagami Kagami!"

Beiming Yu Xingming first threw a hand axe at Binglian Baiji, then a meteor hammer at Zengbotian, and then alternated throwing weapons, the power of which was enough to easily shatter the earth.

In an instant, Doma's Ice Lotus White Princess was completely destroyed.

Unfortunately, as an avatar, Zangbotian would not disappear even if he was beheaded. So even though he was smashed into a pile of minced meat by the meteor hammer, Zangbotian could still return to his original state and stand in the center of the field.

The instant that Zōhakuten regained his body, Kanroji Mitsuri, like an agile cat, relentlessly approached Zōhakuten.

As Guo Yansheng had warned, to kill Hantengu, one must attack its main body.

So, while Kanroji Mitsuri appeared to be heading towards Zōhakuten, her real target was Hantengu.

Just as Zeng Botian was about to strike the taiko drum behind him to launch an attack.

Kanroji Mitsuri feinted an attack and charged towards Hantengu's true form.

"Love's Breath? Second Form? Regretful Lingering Love!"

Kanroji Mitsuri moved at high speed while swinging her blade to slash at Hantengu's main body.

Upon seeing that the main body was in danger, Zōhakuten arrived in front of the main body ahead of time, surpassing even the speed of Kanrōji Mitsuri.

"Get out of my way, you female hooligan! Blood Demon Art? Raging Wave!"

Sōhakuten slapped the taiko drum behind him, generating an extremely powerful shockwave that blasted Kanrōji Mitsuri into the air.

Then, the taiko drum was struck again, creating a wooden dragon that opened its mouth and bit at Kanroji Mitsuri in the air.

"Serpent's Breath? First Form? Serpent Slash!"

Obanai Iguro leaped into the air, embraced Mitsuri Kanroji, spun counter-clockwise, and swung his sword, unleashing a curved slash that destroyed the wooden dragon before returning to the party.

Kanroji Mitsuri's cheeks flushed slightly, but at this moment she didn't have time to thank Iguro Obanai; what she cared about was Zōhakuten's words about a "female hooligan."

"A...a female hooligan?! Are you talking about me?!"

Kanroji Mitsuri angrily retorted, "Unbelievable! How could that child talk like that?! He looks about the same age as my younger brother... Huh?! But even though a demon's actual age and appearance are different, it's still so outrageous!"

Meanwhile, Osamu and Gyutaro, who had ventured deep into the Infinite Castle, got lost inside.

The Infinite City was deserted. Outside, the battle raged fiercely, but inside the Infinite City, it was eerily silent.

Osamu and Gyutaro kept opening the door, searching for Yosuke's whereabouts, but every time they went deeper inside, they would hear the sound of a biwa being played, and then they would return to where they started.

Gyutaro's face darkened: "Damn it! Mr. Osamu, it seems that to find Lord Yosuke, we must first deal with that Nakime."

“That’s right.” Zhi’s face was also extremely ugly. If they continued searching like this, they might never find it in their lifetime.

Although the words are simple, it is actually very difficult to do. First of all, we don't know where Nakime is hiding. Secondly, even if we did know, Nakime could use Blood Demon Art to change the spatial structure within the Infinite Castle and constantly toy with them.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him: "I've got it!"

"any solution?"

Osamu explained, "As long as it's a demon, it will have fighting spirit. My compass can sense fighting spirit. The stronger the fighting spirit that Nakime releases her Blood Demon Art, the stronger the compass's reaction will be!"

Without hesitation, Osamu said to Gyutaro, "Gyutaro, keep going deeper and deeper. As long as Nakime releases her Blood Demon Art, I will definitely be able to sense her fighting spirit!"

Gyutaro nodded and immediately took action.

Watching Gyutaro's departing figure, Osamu shouted in a low voice, "Activate the technique! Plain Style Technique? Destruction Kill? Compass!"

A twelve-pointed snowflake array appeared beneath Zhi's feet. Zhi closed his eyes and patiently waited for the sound of a pipa to ring out.

Chapter 135 Battle (2)

Following Osamu's plan, Gyutaro proceeded into the Infinite Castle, and was about to reach the location he had previously reached.

As expected, a clear and crisp sound from the pipa rang out.

The spatial layout of Gyutaro's location changed rapidly, and he reappeared beside Osamu.

As the compass needle treatment was activated, her tightly closed eyes snapped open instantly.

"Gyutaro! Directly above in the southeast direction!"

Ji and Gyutaro channeled their power into their legs and burst forth, charging rapidly toward Nakime's location.

Facing the approaching Osamu and Gyutaro, Nakime remained calm. Her single eye, hidden beneath her bangs, opened slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. A stirring pipa melody was rapidly played by Nakime's nimble fingers.

The layout and space of the Infinite Castle constantly changed structure under Nakime's playing.

The positions of Ji and Gyutaro kept changing, going up and down.

When the pipa music ended, Ji and Gyutaro returned to their starting positions once again.

The gloomy and irritable Gyutaro kept scratching his cheeks: "Damn it! Even if we can sense its location, it's too far away. We'll be teleported back to where we started before we even get there!"

Outside the Infinite City, the battle situation on the battlefield was also not optimistic.

The Demon Slayer Corps' top fighters, along with the Butterfly Sisters, Koyuki, Koume, and Komatsu, couldn't even break through the attack range of Doma and Hantengu, let alone Kibuy Muzan, who hadn't even made a move yet.

At this moment, the situation was completely under Muzan Kibutsuji's control.

"Hinokami Kagura? The Setting Sun Turns Around!"

"Thunder Breathing? First Form? Thunderclap Flash? Six-Hit Combo!"

Tanjiro instantly flashed into the air and unleashed a horizontal slash wrapped in flames while upside down, destroying half of the Ice Lotus White Princess that Doma had created again.

Zenitsu, working with Tanjiro, destroyed the remaining half.

However, the Ice Lotus White Princess was ultimately created by Douma's Blood Demon Art, so even if it was destroyed, it would be of no consequence to Douma.

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

Doma waved his pair of fans, creating a giant bodhisattva in the shape of hands clasped together, which stood in the center of the battlefield.

The Ice Bodhisattva used his hand as a knife to slash at the crowd.
