Just then, a voice rang out, followed by a petite figure running quickly toward them.
"Sister! Are you alright?"
The person who arrived was none other than Shinobu Kocho, Kanae's younger sister. She was also on a mission nearby and immediately ran over when she heard that her sister had encountered an Upper Moon demon.
Kanae shook her head: "I'm fine."
Shinobu Kocho carefully checked and found that her older sister, 3.8, was not injured, which put her at ease.
"Sister, where is the Upper Moon demon?"
"died."
"Dead?!"
Shinobu Kocho stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Kanae's words.
Just then, several Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps arrived.
The Demon Slayer Corps received a report from the messenger, and almost all the Pillars rushed over.
After all, this is an Upper Moon demon, and specifically Upper Moon Two. Among the twelve demon moons, the smaller the number, the stronger the demon.
Over the years, countless Pillars have died at the hands of Upper Moon demons, so the Demon Slayer Corps leader immediately dispatched all the Pillars.
"Kanae, where is the Upper Moon demon?"
Kanae pointed to the large, scorched crater not far away and said:
"He's there; he's dead."
Chapter 138 Muzan's Fear
"Dead?!"
Everyone wore the same incredulous expression as Shinobu Kocho. That was an Upper Moon demon, and it had been over a hundred years since an Upper Moon demon had been slain.
Almost all the Pillars who encountered an Upper Moon Demon were killed.
The fact that no Upper Moon demon has been killed in a century means that the Upper Moon demons have become increasingly powerful.
But now that they've been suddenly killed, they certainly can't believe it.
"Really? Upper Moon Two is really dead?"
The rock pillar mourns on the islet, seeking enlightenment in the darkness.
Kanae nodded and answered affirmatively, "Yes! He is completely dead."
The Wind Pillar, Genya Shinazugawa, quickly asked, "Kanae, did you kill Upper Moon Two?"
Kanae shook her head: "No, it wasn't me."
"Who is that?"
Kanae hesitated, unsure whether he should mention Lu Li's name.
However, after thinking about it, Lu Li didn't hide his identity from Whitebeard, nor from Erica and Rin, so he knew that Lu Li didn't care about these things.
"He's my friend, his name is Lu Li."
"friend?!"
"Land from?!"
Shinobu and the others were a little confused. Shinobu didn't remember when she met a friend named Lu Li.
The others were astonished that this person named Lu Li was able to kill Upper Moon Two.
In any case, those who can defeat Upper Moon Two are unparalleled fighters, and there are only six Upper Moons in total.
Killing any one of them would be a huge loss for Muzan Kibutsuji.
It's easy to train a Lower Moon demon, but it's extremely difficult to train an Upper Moon demon.
Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku asked, "Kanae, is Upper Moon Two powerful?"
Kanae nodded seriously: "Extremely powerful. He possesses extremely strong Blood Demon Arts, and his speed, strength, and regenerative abilities are far beyond what any Lower Moon demon can match."
"The Lower Moon demons are like infants in front of the Upper Moon demons."
"To deal with Upper Moon Two, it would probably take at least three Pillars to take action."
"So strong?!"
All the Pillars were startled by Kanae's words. They had never seen an Upper Moon demon, because almost all the Pillars who had seen one died.
The Demon Slayer Corps has killed quite a few Lower Moon demons.
The Lower Moon demons are generally not very strong; they can easily deal with almost any of the Pillars.
However, because they had never seen an Upper Moon demon, they knew nothing about its strength.
However, the fact that the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps have sacrificed themselves one by one shows that the Upper Moon Demons are incredibly powerful.
"If Upper Moon Two is this powerful, how terrifying must Upper Moon One and Muzan be?"
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
"Namo Amitabha Buddha!!"
Suddenly, the rock pillar, Beimingyu Xingming, shouted a Buddhist chant, startling everyone awake.
"Weren't we already mentally prepared for the strength of the Upper Moon demons and Muzan?"
"What's most terrifying to us is the unknown. Now that we know the strength of the Upper Moon demons, it's actually a good thing for us."
"This will give us even more motivation to practice diligently."
"Furthermore, the fact that three Pillars can defeat an Upper Moon demon makes this a worthwhile trade."
"If we kill three or more Upper Moon demons, it means that there will be four fewer Upper Moon demons."
"If we're lucky enough to kill all the Upper Moon demons, then our sacrifice will be of great significance."
"The future Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen will find it easier to deal with those evil demons, and there is even a great chance that they can kill Muzan."
"After all, the Upper Moon demons will always be Muzan's strongest line of defense."
Hearing the Stone Pillar's words, the other Pillars perked up. Indeed, they had long been prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time. If they could really return an Upper Moon demon, it would be a huge gain for them.
"Kanae, could you have your friend come over, or should we go see him?"
"This... I need to ask his opinion."
Kanae did not agree immediately.
"Of course."
Regardless of the other party's identity, since they slaughtered an Upper Moon demon, they are not on the same side as the demons.
Furthermore, Kanae said that person was her friend, which means that she might try to recruit him into the Demon Slayer Corps.
If a powerful fighter capable of slaying Upper Moon Two were to cooperate with the Demon Slayer Corps, it wouldn't be impossible for them to wipe out all the demons.
The Demon Slayer Corps has been fighting demons for thousands of years, and perhaps this generation will bring an end to that conflict, so that no one will be killed by demons anymore.
At this moment, in a certain city.
A young boy is flipping through a book. This boy is none other than Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of demons that the Demon Slayer Corps has been searching for.
He has now disguised himself as a child and infiltrated a pharmaceutical company as a lookalike, in an attempt to develop a drug to overcome the effects of sunlight.
Suddenly, he sensed something, and his face turned ashen.
Images flashed through his mind of Doma's encounter with Lu Li, their battle, and his eventual tragic death by being burned alive.
"boom!!"
A terrifying aura erupted from Muzan, shattering many things in the room, including the windows.
"Young Master, what's wrong?!"
Everyone in the courtyard rushed over upon hearing the noise.
puff puff!
In an instant, everyone was killed by Muzan.
Muzan issued the command in his mind.
"come over!"
A short while later, a figure quickly appeared in front of Muzan and knelt down on one knee.
"Lord Muzan! What business do you have summoning me for?"
The newcomer had short, peach-pink hair, golden eyes, and pale skin. He wore a purplish-red short shirt and looked very capable.
In the newcomer's eyes, one eye was engraved with 'upper moon' and the other with 'three'.
It is the Upper Moon Three – Akaza.
"Akaza, Doma is dead."
Muzan said with a ferocious expression, "Upper Moon Two, Doma, is a subordinate I greatly admire. He not only possesses immense strength but is also very capable in his work."
But now he's dead, killed by a human.
This is not simply the death of a capable subordinate.
The top three Upper Moon demons are all powerful evil spirits whose strength can challenge my own.
If the other party was able to kill Doma, then their safety was also threatened.
This is something he absolutely cannot allow.
Chapter 139 Immortality
He recalled how he was almost killed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, and how he didn't even dare to show his face when Yoriichi was alive.
He was terrified that Yoriichi Tsugikuni would come knocking on his door.
Even after Yoriichi Tsugikuni died, he waited for decades before he dared to reappear, only after confirming that it was impossible for a human to live that many years.
That century was his greatest humiliation.
He would never allow a second Seiichi Tsugikuni to emerge.
Lu Li's appearance reminded him of the Western magicians he had encountered when he was searching for a solution in the West.
He himself had tested it there and created some evil spirits, which resulted in them being called vampires. He is known as the progenitor of vampires.
Later, he was killed by a group of meddlesome church people, and those guys could use something called holy light and holy water, which could cause him some damage, forcing him to flee back here.
He planned that once he could overcome the greatest threat—sunlight—he would lead his army of demons to massacre the Western churches.
The only thing that gives him some peace of mind now is that, although the opponent's strength poses a certain threat.
But he's far inferior to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Even Doma fought for a long time, but if it were Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Doma would be killed in an instant.
When Akaza heard Muzan say that Doma was dead, his first thought was excitement.
Although Doma and he belonged to the same demon camp, demons are never allies.
They might even kill each other for food. Of course, in general, battles between demons are difficult to kill unless there is a huge difference in strength.
The relationship between Akaza, the third Upper Moon, and Doma, the second Upper Moon, is the worst.
If it weren't for Lord Muzan being there, and being extremely angry, he would have happily started dancing.
"You're happy that Doma is dead?"
Akaza's hair stood on end, and he immediately knelt on the ground, his head pressed tightly against the earth: "Your subordinate dares not!"
"You may not dare, but that doesn't mean you don't want to!"
puff---!!
Akaza's blood vessels burst open, and blood began to flow from all seven orifices. Akaza gritted his teeth and dared not utter a sound.
