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

Sensing the immense power, everyone could only temporarily retreat and avoid the range of Ice Bodhisattva's hand strikes.

The act of being forced to evade inevitably exposes weaknesses.

"Blood Demon Art? The Tree of Incessant Karma!"

Zeng Botian simultaneously struck the two taiko drums behind him with drumsticks in both hands, summoning countless enormous wooden dragons that surged and tumbled towards the crowd.

Yu Tianyuan shouted loudly, "Everyone! Get behind me!"

"Sound Breathing? Unrestrained Form? Resounding Slash Without End!"

Yu Tianyuan continuously wielded his chain-linked twin swords, each strike accompanied by an explosion, blocking the wooden dragon.

However, the Ice Bodhisattva's attack followed immediately, blowing out ice crystals from his mouth that could freeze a person and were highly poisonous.

"Wind Breathing? Unleashed Form? Rise Amidst the Sandstorm!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa unleashed a wind blade from below, blocking the spreading ice crystals.

However, to everyone's surprise, Muzan Kibutsuji, who had been watching from the sidelines, made his move.

"Words of Power? Force!"

A terrifying gravitational force suppressed Shinazugawa Sanemi, interrupting his sword technique, and ice crystals once again spread towards everyone.

Seeing that Muzan had made his move, in order to preserve the strength of the others, Kokushiboku and Muichiro Tokito perfectly took Shinazugawa Sanemi's place to block the Ice Bodhisattva's ice crystals and created an opportunity for a counterattack.

"Breath of the Moon - Eighth Form - Moon Dragon Tail!"

Katsumi Tsugumi and Muichiro Tokito simultaneously swung their Nichirin Blades, unleashing a massive horizontal slash accompanied by countless giant crescent blades.

The spreading ice crystals and surging wooden dragons were instantly shattered by the powerful attack, and the opportunity for a counterattack arrived.

Ji Guoyan shouted, "Attack while Bingjing and Mulong are still at bay!"

However, just as everyone launched their counterattack, Kibuyaku Muzan sneered contemptuously, "Ants can shake a tree? Word of Power: Instant!"

Kimu Muzan stepped forward and approached the group. Just as their attacks were about to strike him, Kimu Muzan stretched out his right hand and shouted, "Word of Power? Reject!"

An invisible force deflected everyone's attacks and sent them flying.

Kibuy Muzan's powerful entry into the battle injured everyone in an instant.

"The so-called strongest demon-slaying swordsman among humans, is this all the strength you have? I really can't understand why the Twelve Demon Moons I created couldn't wipe you out. Oh well, you're all going to die anyway, so I don't want to delve into this issue any further."

All the whips on Kibuyaku Muzan's body stabbed towards everyone.

Everyone fought hard to resist, now not only had to withstand Muzan's attack, but also prevent Doma and Hantengu from launching sneak attacks, and the whole situation was tilting in an unfavorable direction.

Inside the black coffin space.

Yang Jie's damaged heart has been fully repaired, but he still can't contact the system, and he doesn't know what's going on outside.

"Yosuke Ubuyashiki, you should be worried about your companions, right? Actually, the only conflict between us is that I want to set things right, while you create chaos. It seems like you've saved everyone, but in the end, you can't save anyone."

Considering the bond between us, I'm giving you a chance to get everything back on the right track.

"If you hand over the power of the rules within you to me, then let those who deserve to die die, and choose not to interfere further, then my alliance with Kibu Muzan will be dissolved, and Kibu Muzan will die according to his predetermined fate."

The sage proposed a deal to Yosuke.

Yang Jie instantly saw through the God Lord's purpose: "Actually, all of your actions are to obtain the power of the rules within me, right?"

Let me guess, you are an agent of fate. Although you can represent fate, you are an independent individual. As long as you are an independent individual, you will have your own thoughts and will.

Your cooperation with Kibuyaku Muzan can be interpreted as fate requiring you to cooperate with it, so that the future will return to its predetermined ending.

"But you're making a deal with me now, which means you want to break free from the control of fate, and the complete power of the rules is the key to breaking free from the control of fate, am I right?"

The god's face was extremely gloomy: "No wonder humans often say that the longer one lives, the more shrewd one becomes. It seems you see things very clearly."

Yosuke sneered, "Likewise."

"It seems you have no intention of cooperating with me. In that case, I will take it myself. I have already deciphered this dark space. Let's decide the ownership of the power of the rules through battle in the outside world!"

As the deity finished speaking, cracks appeared inside the black coffin space, and countless rays of light shone through the cracks, illuminating the dark space.

Chapter 136 Battle (3)

The black coffin space began to disintegrate, and Yang Jie tensed up, launching an attack on the God Lord the moment he was ready to leave.

The moment he regained his mobility, Yosuke launched the first attack.

"Blood Breathing? Fifth Form? Blood Flash!"

Yang Jie rushed forward to the God Lord, his blood-red blade aimed at the God Lord's neck.

Faced with Yosuke's attack, the Shinju calmly raised one hand.

"Words of power? Rejected!"

Yosuke's attack was repelled by an invisible force.

The god sneered, "Ubuyashiki Yosuke, I have already seen through your new sword design. You are now out of options. What can you use to fight me? With the few remaining fragments of the power of the rules within you?"

"Words of Power? Rebuke!"

A powerful repulsive force struck Yosuke, blasting him out of the room.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of Osamu and Gyutaro, who were also inside the Infinite Castle.

"Yosuke-sama!"

Upon seeing Yosuke, whom they had been longing for, Osamu and Gyutaro couldn't wait to get to Yosuke's side.

"Don't come any closer! This is not a battle you can interfere in!" Yosuke sternly stopped Osamu and Gyutaro.

The shrine maiden looked at Osamu and Gyutaro without any emotion: "Those who are destined to die should obediently accept their fate!"

"Word of Power? Instant!"

The god instantly appeared before Osamu and Gyutaro, his hands pointing at them: "Word of Power? Attack!"

An invisible, powerful attack swiftly swept towards them.

With his compass-like senses, Osamu hurriedly shouted to Gyutaro, "Gyutaro! To the left!"

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

Zhi unleashed a devastating punch, creating a massive explosion that successfully neutralized the God's invisible attack.

Having spent hundreds of years together, Ryouji and Gyutaro have developed a deep understanding of each other, able to know each other's thoughts without needing many words.

"Blood Demon Art? A clumsy, leaping spectacle!"

Gyutaro used the blood-red slashes to surround his entire body for comprehensive defense, which also blocked the attack from the God.

Just as the God Lord launched another attack, Yosuke arrived in time and blasted the God Lord away with a kick.

Yosuke and the God Lord's escape naturally came to the attention of Nakime, who controlled the entire Infinite Castle.

"Lord Muzan, Yosuke Ubuyashiki and the Shinto priest have escaped and awakened!"

Nakime immediately notified Kibuy Muzan, who was fighting outside the Infinity Castle.

Upon hearing this news, Kibu Muzan, who was fighting against Kokushibo and Himejima Gyomei, used his whip to repel the two men in front of him.

Kibuyaku Muzan frowned, unable to understand why his full-force attack couldn't damage the black coffin, while Ubuyashiki Yosuke and the God King had managed to escape in such a short time.

Moreover, the current situation is entirely in Muzan's favor; all he needs is time to win this war.

But now that Yosuke Ubuyashiki and the Shinto priest have escaped, the situation has become unpredictable again.

"Nakome! Swallow everyone around me into the Infinity Castle!"

Kibuy Muzan immediately made a decision: since the God Lord had also escaped, their alliance was still intact. He would first join forces with the God Lord to deal with Ubuyashiki Yosuke.

"Yes, Lord Muzan!"

Nakime immediately used her Blood Demon Art to teleport everyone around Kibuyaku Muzan to the Infinity Castle.

When they saw Yosuke fighting fiercely with the God, the Butterfly Sisters, Renyuki, and Xiaomei were incredibly excited.

Lianxue grabbed Zhi's hand: "Zhi, you succeeded!"

Osamu said dejectedly, "It was Lord Yosuke who escaped on his own. Gyutaro and I have been toying with Nakime all along. Every time we ventured into the Infinite Castle, we were teleported back to the starting point by her Blood Demon Art."

Kibuy Muzan gave orders to Doma and Hantengu: "I'm going to face Ubuyashiki Yosuke. You two, cooperate with Nakime and kill them all here!"

After saying that, Kibuyaku Muzan joined the battle between the God and Ubuyashiki Yosuke.

Seeing Muzan leave, Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro tried to stop them, but after hearing a lute tune, they returned to their starting point.

Gyutaro scratched his cheek in frustration and said, "It's no use. Osamu's compass can sense Nakime's location, but it will teleport her back before she arrives."

While chanting scriptures, Himejima Gyomei said, "We need to deal with Nakime first regarding this strange teleportation, otherwise the battle will be at a great disadvantage for us!"

Osamu said angrily, "Damn it, Nakime controls this Infinite Castle. If only we could keep her from seeing us..."

"Wait! I can't see... I have an idea!" Kanae Kocho suddenly said, "Mr. Osamu is right, as long as Nakime can't see it, that's fine. Before the battle, Yushiro gave me three talismans. Yushiro's talismans can not only share vision, but also conceal one's form."

However, there are only three talismans, and choosing which one to use has become a big problem.

Ji, who can sense Nakime's location through his compass, uses this ability very passively, only able to sense it when Nakime uses her ability.

Time was of the essence, and Doma and Hantengu were already itching to make their move, so the task of dealing with Nakime was handed over to Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke.

Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke possess keen senses of smell, hearing, and touch, respectively, making them the most suitable candidates to carry out this mission.

Tanjiro and his two companions agreed, affixed the talismans, and quietly left to search for Nakime, who was hiding in the Infinity Castle.

When Douma noticed that three people were suddenly missing from the group, he guessed that three of them had gone to look for Nakime. He immediately used Blood Demon Art to try to force the target out.

"Blood Demon Art? Scattered Lotus Blossoms!"

Doma waved his fans, scattering a large number of tiny ice petals, each as sharp as a blade, covering the entire area.

To cover Tanjiro and the other two, Osamu and Gyutaro launched the first attack on Doma and Hantengu.

"Destruction Kill? Final Move? Azure Silver Chaotic Remnant Light!"

In an instant, Ji launched hundreds of missiles in all directions, scattering all of Doma's tiny petals and heading straight for Doma's body.

And Gyutaro is no less impressive.

"Half-Tengu, our battle isn't over yet! Blood Demon Art? Flying Blood Scythe!"
